My husband and I just moved to the area and came across this gem of a place! I ordered a Cherry Joe-latti and my husband got a strawberry lemonade Joe-latti! It was delicious and priced fairly! We will definitely be coming back a lot more this summer!

I'm on a mission to find the best pineapple sundae with vanilla ice cream and wet walnuts. I'm about 12 sundaes in and Joe's has, by far, been the best.

Delicious water ice, custard, and homemade ice cream. Varied flavors including the hard-to-find rum raisin ice cream. Custard is not as yolky as Rita's but has more body than Dairy Queen. Comparable pricing to Rita's. Good, friendly service.

It's a bit out of the way for us but worth the ride. My husband had tried several other places for water ice but Joe's is the best. I love their ice cream and soft serve. Such a variety of flavors. A hidden gem!

The Owner and staff are very friendly and the rotating flavors are always delicious! I have a hard time deciding if I like the ice cream or the water ice more! You really can't go wrong with either. I feel the prices and portions fair and recommend them to my friends and family when they visit.
