I’ve only been here 3 times and it’s dirty every time. The restroom is either not working or a total wreck and the floors and tables are sticky. I don’t feel comfortable hanging out there; I rather take my drink/​snack and go. Their jasmine tea is very watery, their boba is way too soft, and while the frozen yogurt is decent, but there are better options in the area.
I really tried to like this place because the location is convenient for me but I just can’t do it!

Stopped by for a quick bite today. We ordered chicken & waffles, lumpia, 5 piece fried chicken, oreo shake, and the blended watermelon drink. Their menu was pretty small.
The food– was okay didnt taste good or bad (except the watermelon drink it tasted more like water)
Portions– really small portions
Price — seemed a little over priced for the portion that we received.
Service — was great, the two workers were friendly, waited on the food about 10 minutes.
Atmosphere– pretty relaxed they had a TV playing music, there was mini basketball, ice hockey, ske ball, and some toy gachapons.
Overall, I would prefer to go to a place like quicklys or teaway. The food tastes better and the prices are the lower for the exact same items.

This place looks like it used to be Eggettes. Basically like a small run down Chuckee Cheez with basketball hoop and toy vending machines. The drinks are nice.

Hard chairs. Not a very welcoming decoration but perhaps it’s catering to a younger high school crowd. Seems a bit expensive for average yogurt.

I have been a fan ever since they were under The Eggettes franchise. Now that they switched to Rockitswirl im still a big fan of their smoothie drinks. I have not tried the yogurt and the ice cream/​gelato. Staff is very friendly and efficient, they cater mostly to kids who come in after school and hang out.
Its very convenient to go to this place if you want your smoothie fix– taking Glenpark bart. Ps. Their mango smoothie is made of actual frozen mangoes. So dont expect powdered stuff from them when it comes to fruit :)

Nice service :) I ordered Taro milk tea and tell them to make it not sweet at all. They made it pretty good, not sweet but still tasty. Also, waffle’n fruit is pretty good

My family and I always make it a point to stop by for a refreshing cold smoothie or a snack before heading back to the South Bay. Rocket swirl never disappoints. Today we had the pineapple mango tart smoothie, peach strawberry tart smoothie, a tall almond milk tea, sugar waffle, and some crab fries! Always a satisfied customer!

They aren’t exactly that great. I visited once looking for frozen yogurt, but they have all of like two options. They do have a couple of gelato options, but they have a marginally larger selection of that than frozen yogurt. It seems this place would be much better if they focused on one product rather than trying to do several poorly.
I did go a second time to get a more rounded experience, but they had kept their doors open and told me I could order in spite everything being shut down. This was stupid. It’s more appropriate to tell the customer that you’re closed than tell them you’re open and only offer like one item to be served.
As for the experience, eh, I’d go back if it was convenient, and I was feeling really lazy. Otherwise, I’d actually sooner go without than go back due to the poor selection.

I was there yesterday (Saturday) with two of my friends and we got two jasmine milktea and one almond milktea. One of the drinks were water down and two of them were very sweet. I would like to give this place a try but I’ll try something else next time. Parking was extremely easy (meter)

I’m an emotional nostalgic Unilocaler.
So take my review with a grain of salt.
There is whac-​a-​mole here. And a whole row of vending machines. And something called crab fries. And bubble tea. If I was ten again I would be here every day.

Walked into this place and the first thing I noticed was the really cool signs for the yogurt. Really cool! Tried the bbq chicken stick DELICIOUS! The staff was really nice. Finding Nemo was playing, it’s a nice place to go with friends and family.

I may have slurred my order out of starvation and thought I ordered a crab sandwich, so I was surprised when he brought me a delicious looking chicken sandwich… The nice guy quickly made my hungry A$$ a crab sandwich and suggested I give the chicken one to someone hungry… I have scarfed down the crab sandwich while writing this review and it was just as amazing as the service! Soft Hawaiian roll with a spicy crab salad in between mmm… He has brought me back to life! I’ll have to try a drink next time, since I’ll be working in the area. Rock It you did not let me down! (If you can’t find the place, just follow your nose, that’s how I stumbled upon it :)

There was no eggettes. (They don’t serve this anymore).
There’s no cookies.
Unilocal check-​in is outdated.
The whole Unilocal pictures are all outdated.
The menu is now very small.
The bathroom doesn’t work.
This place was very empty.
The Oreo ice cream shake was good though.

GASHAPON | Gachapon REPORT
For those of you that don’t know Gashapon | Gatcha Machines are little toy dispensers that cost about $ 1.
Rockit Swirl has about 19 Gashapon Machine’s but based on the contents of the machines, they didn’t update it in years. The only things in stock was Sonic, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Domo (Nearly out of stock), Shrek 2, Chicken Little, Etc.
Since this place has Chicken Little And Shrek 3 of all things; it’s safe to assume they haven’t been touched for years. The top shelf that displays the toys are a bit disorganized and they had Hoenn Pokemon Bobble heads up there even though none of the machines had Pokemon in stock.
I’ve asked one of the workers if the machines were going to be updated but she didn’t know much; at least she was polite and courteous.

The Good:
1. Their frozen yogurt hits the spot. Creamy, tart and sweet and an awesome array of toppings.
2. Decently priced.
3. Great location within walking distance of BART.
The Bad:
1. Dude, get rid of that couch. So dirty. It’s like a frat house couch. So many mystery stains.
2. This place needs a fan or an air conditioner. Get some air circulating.

My friends and I stopped going here when Eggettes was around because the drinks weren’t very good.
The drinks at this new place are delicious, albeit I only get the honey green tea, but this is definitely my favorite place now for my favorite choice of drink!

I never knew I could find this hidden gem in Glen Park. I was pleasantly surprised with most of their smoothie drinks — they are made with real fruits not like Jamba Juice powdery crap. I like their watermelon smoothie which is really refreshing on a hot summer day but my favorite is their Avocado smoothie — it’s so creamy and perfectly sweet (and I don’t even like sweets!) I keep going back for more!!!
The last time I visited, I ordered their new fresh coconut water — I’m so glad I don’t have to chop coconuts or buy the store stuff anymore. They chop it, scrape the meat and put it in a cup for ya! Awesome service!!!

So I walk up to the counter and the guy just has a blank stare. I was the second customer and he just finished with his 1st. It was awkward because I had to ask him if I could order. And he replied yeah.
Anyway. The jasmine milk tea with boba was average. Too sugary and artificial tasting.
The boba was mediocre as well.
Good thing I got a small for $ 3.50.
The place looks really dirty and unkempt.
Especially the frozen yogurt area.

This place makes me feel like the old curmudgeon who yells «Get off my lawn!» every time those rotten kids ride their bikes on the grass. I think you’re meant to think of rocket ships and Captain Satellite or maybe Buzz Lightyear if you’re not as old as I am. And who is anyway? The walls are a bright red-​orange, and the spigots and toppings counter look like something you would find in a space station playground for toddlers (photo:
). Understand that Jamie W. and I just came from a rather disappointing dinner at Chenery Park nearby, so we needed something to pick us up before taking our BART ride home.
We passed by Rockit and noticed it wasn’t the usual pastel-​colored frozen yogurteria you’d find downtown. No, Rockit struck us a sweets shop and teen hangout given the big screen TV that was gratefully not on when I was there (photo:
). For such a big place, I was surprised only six flavors of froyo were offered, so I went for the Oreo for the bargain price of 41 cents per ounce (photo:
). It was reasonably satisfying especially with some sliced strawberries and actual Oreo crumbs sprinkled on top. Oh dear, a posse of adolescents just came in. Time to go. Get off my lawn!
FROYO — 3 stars… reasonably creamy froyo hits the spot after a meh dinner
AMBIANCE — 2.5 stars… for the kids… Get off my lawn!
SERVICE — 3 stars… serviceable
TOTAL — 3 stars… there to satisfy your sweet tooth in Glen Park
