We have driven past this spot for years and always meant to stop in; we are so glad we finally did now that they have officially reopened! It was heartbreaking to see them closed for nearly a year following the crash that kept their doors shut, but the shop looks great and the community is lucky to have them back. The menu is packed with choices, and there are so many ice cream flavors to choose from. I went with the Bordeaux Cherry in a fresh, house-made waffle bowl, and it was a delectable treat. The staff behind the counter were not only friendly but also very funny, which made the experience even better. There is plenty of seating both inside and out for enjoying your dessert. It is such a welcoming environment, and we are so happy to see this Hillsboro staple back in action! read more

After living here in Beaverton for 8 years we have never been to this icecream shop. Newly remodeled after a car crashed through the window last year and all the news stories we wanted to support them and give it a try. They make fresh waffle cones and bowls!! The shop smells heavenly when you walk in and that enticed the 3 of us to each order a waffle bowl for our yummy ice-cream. I was excited to see they have so many great flavors and they carry my favorite peanut butter and chocolate. My son ordered Huckleberry heaven and hubby had the cherry Bordeaux. The gentleman behind the counter was not super friendly or welcoming. Maybe he was annoyed because we all ordered waffle bowls that he was making anyway. read more

My last and only ever visit was back during Covid, I was trying to order for me and my partner on the phone and since I didn't know what I wanted just yet they had me go outside and look at the menu while the family that was coming in after me did the same, decide what to order. Have never been back and don't plan on it. read more

Great ice cream for your tastebuds, good selection of flavors and gives a vintage/ nostalgic feel that brings you back.

This small ice cream store was great. There are too many flavors to pick from so we ordered a banana split to share. The proprietor runs this place by herself and the service was pleasant. I loved the smell of the waffle cones being made. So one knows they are fresh. The store is very 1970s in decor and there are tables indoors to enjoy your sweets. I liked this place! read more

This place just sells Umpqua ice cream. And it's dirty inside -- everywhere. And it stunk like burning waffle batter. First and last visit for us. read more

The Snickerdoodle and Cookie Dough ice cream were divine! I walked by the ice cream shop a bunch of times on the way to Shute Park and so glad I finally stopped in (one time they were closed due to thawing their ice cream). There are so many flavors to choose from, it can def be overwhelming! The ice cream is on the sweeter side and melts pretty fast, so you gotta eat it quick! After sampling a few, I'm glad that I landed on Snickerdoodle with salted caramel and cinnamon along with Cookie Dough with vanilla brown sugar ice cream. I rarely see brown sugar in cookie dough ice cream, it was quite good! The pairing of the 2 flavors was divine, I def would go for again! While the housemade crispy waffle cone was good, it sadly started leaking. Nice cozy ice cream parlor with a few tables of outdoor seating, def sample a few flavors before ordering! read more

Super cute ice cream shop! Stopped there recently because a girl needs her ice cream. I got a double scoop brownie Sunday with hot fudge and it was the perfect serving size! The guy working heated up the brownie too, and it was delicious! We will definitely be back, I think it took us too long to check this place out as we live so close. read more

The only place I can find that has Black licorice ice cream and it's awesome! Great customer service by the owner and great selection of flavors. read more

Safest excuse of an ice cream shop. Jim's doesn't even make their own ice cream, they resell Umqua which is $3 a gallon from the store... Why......... read more

We got two flavors and both were kind of watery rather than creamy tasting. Disappointed. It was a little pricey for what you get as well.

Delicious! Great service even when they're really busy. Could use an update, but otherwise it's great!

Prime location just across from Shute Park and the Aquatic Center. A rebranding took place in 2014, to switch over from Baskin Robbins to a locally based ice creamery serving Alpenrose and Umpqua ice cream, as well as ice cream cakes and specialty items. The store is clean and the employees have been friendly and efficient. And if you want a drink to go with your treat, they serve West Coast Coffee. You can also pick up a tub of ice cream to-go. Not the most expansive or unique ice cream store, but it certainly covers all the bases. Summer hours are 10am - 11pm. read more

Jim's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This isn't a review I thought I'd have to write. Honestly, the second-to-last time I went to Jim's with my family, it was a great experience. Took the nieces to the library, then for swim classes at the aquatic center, then to this old-school former Baskin-Robbins across the street. They had a bunch of Umpqua flavors, they had colorful wax cups, and they made banana splits so big that we took one to Shute Park in what looked like a hoagie container. Sure, there were some things that struck me as odd. The server/owner scolding her kids the whole time. One of the owners carrying a pistol openly for some reason. At the time, I just chalked this up to "Well, that's Oregon" and went on my way. But, naturally, the story doesn't end there. I'm in town visiting family for the weekend and they were just coming off of a hot spell. However, my sister waited until I got there to see if I wanted to go to Jim's. I was down: A Rocky Road sundae sounded good to me. But, even with the county slowly reopening and Jim's using some slapdash delivery service to keep afloat, it seemed the quarantine was too much for the owners. A whole lot of people were heading downtown later that night to protest the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and to call attention to police- and ICE-related issues in Hillsboro. We wouldn't have known any of this if the owners didn't vociferously complain about it during our entire time there. There was a lot of "whatabout:" What about COVID, what about the good cops, what about all live mattering, etc. Now, my sister said something to them about how they didn't seem all that upset about a reopen protest in Salem a while back, but they shrugged it off. However, when it was time to order, the server asked her what she thought it would be like if their ice cream parlor didn't exist. She noted that, since she lived her when the Baskin-Robbins closed, she was OK with that and just got Tillamook pints to bring home. The server noted that she's have to do just that if Kate Brown didn't end the lockdown quicker. Then she said something about them maybe having to close down if they got looted tonight, and I went off. 1. You can't get people to take the MAX downtown for anything: Concerts, restaurants, bowling, etc. They aren't going to do so to steal Umpqua ice cream from an off-brand Baskin-Robbins after looting antique stores. 2. If it isn't "antifa" they're worried about, who is it? They were clearly making ice cream cakes for quinceañeras and birthdays: We they worried about their neighbors? 3. I know there's a cop shop right up the street from them, but didn't those cops face federal charges for tasing a black cyclist five years ago just DOWN the street? They said they didn't like my tone. I said I didn't like their attitude, and me and my sister left. I have nothing but positive reviews for the place we went to afterward -- and for the downtown protest we wound up attending -- but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this storefront vacant again at some point. You can't operate with that much hate and distrust and still consider yourself a community asset. ADDENDUM: Really? You're pushing a recall vote now? Put this on a cake: Kate Brown 56%, Knute Buehler 39%. That's what 2018 looked like in Washington County. Maybe Harney County will lap up what you're dishing out. read more

The shop has a number of different flavors of ice cream. They have different serving options even. The flavors that I tried out turned out to be good. They also have a handful of sorbets in case someone is looking for that. read more

Sooooo delicious!! My fave to go! This small business is worth trying ! I have gone many time with my hubby.

Nice treats and friendly staff, plus the price is really great. If there a way to teach my 3 year old to share it typically comes with broccoli, not ice cream. read more

Took mocha almond fudge and Rocky road - they were good. The cone could have been little more fresh Follows Covid protocols and is clean read more

Jim's Ice Cream - So good on a hot day. Thanks jims ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Ice cream, Ice cream! yummy! But the sweet owner is amazing. Her cakes look incredible and now that we can gather again, I need to order one. Support a local small business. read more

Jim's is a great, family owned ice cream store. They make ice cream cakes, and their ice cream is locally sourced and free of all those nasty hormones due to this. Umpqua and Alpenrose are awesome ice creams! They make their own waffle cones and they do an amazing shake or Sundae. Great place to take the kids after games, or to take someone after dinner to continue to the conversation. Takes you right back to your childhood. read more

I appreciate this place. I didn't know Alpenrose Ice Cream was even available before I went to Jim's!! I have been a strong supporter of Alpenrose Dairy for 10+ years, since 2004 going out there for Wed night bike-group classes and going around on the Velodrome! And, other times over the years for cyclocross races on the grounds and such. And, I have always seemed out Alpenrose's Creamer or Half & Half. I felt like I can always taste the difference between Alpenrose and other brands' creamer. So, it's nice to support their dairy even more by buying their ice cream- and it is really delicious as welL! I had the white-chocolate-raspberry truffle-- it was really good! read more

The mountain blackberry ice cream is SO GOOD! It's super refreshing and creamy. Apparently it is the best ice cream for a milkshake also. 5 stars because not only is the ice cream good, but the owners are super nice and scoops are cheap. read more

Jim's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Had a wonderful experience! Adrienne the owner was very friendly and helpful. Made an amazing cake for my son's 10th birthday even on short notice. Thank you Adrienne! We will return for sure! read more

Jim's is a staple of the Hillsboro area. Everyone around this area knows Jim's and probably has a few childhood memories here. The service is friendly and they dont question when you ask for more than a few samples. The homemade waffle cones are the real reason for going though. They are light and crispy, which is the perfect accompaniment for the many varieties of ice cream they serve here. The only reason I felt I needed to take off a star is because the ice cream that they serve (although local) is not made by them. It's still delicious either way and their dedication to the community is something to be commended as well. read more

Keeping it traditional. Love this place. Great ice cream and great service. Love this family buisness. We need more places like this in Hillsboro. read more

Tasty and friendly service! Waffle cones are super good here too. I recommend getting two kid scoops to have multiple flavors.

To be honest I'm not sure how this place is still open...maybe we caught most of the ice creams on a bad day... A few of my classmates and I wanted to try this place because it seemed family owned and thought it must be doing something right to still be existing. So we were all excited to try the ice creams today. I tried first a Kona coffee and noticed that not only was the coffee flavor quite subtle, bordering on non-existent, but the base seemed stale. Thinking that it was just that batch I tried the Espresso flavor...again, stale base with the only flavor coming from the espresso bean bits. At this point I'm starting to feel like this was a bad idea but I try the Cookies n Cream. Even with the cookie bit in there, the base tasted like it had taken in the smell of the fridge or other ice creams in there. It was bland and did not have the creamy, milky vanilla smell I was hoping for. Now I'm just feeling bad for asking for flavors and not getting anything so I try one last time and ask for the Marionberry Cheesecake. Thank goodness this one had some sort of flavor so I got one scoop of this and called it a day. To repay them for their troubles of giving me samples I suppose. Unfortunately for my classmates, they got milkshakes which only made their bland ice cream choice even more bland. My friend's almond mocha fudge tasted like extremely diluted chocolate milk and my other friend's chocolate chip mint milkshake barely had that hint of mint. All in all we were quite disappointed and regretted not going to Coldstone like we originally planned. We've learned our lesson. read more

I love this place. It has a small town local feel. The woman often has her cute kids there, and it feels like a real family business. The ice cream is wonderful, and it's always a wonderful time when we get to go read more

Jim's Ice Cream has become our go to place for ice cream treats and ice cream cakes! The owners take great care of their establishment and their customers! High quality ice cream as well as the customer service. Get your next ice cream fix from Jim's and you won't be disappointed!! read more

I am so glad we ordered our Mud Pies and Cookies and cream pie for a birthday party from Jim's Ice Cream. Both were sooo good!The service was exceptional both when we called in the order and when we picked up. Very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. Give this local ice cream shop a visit. You will be glad you did. read more

Great little ice cream shop! The store had Covid precautions in place and moved guests through as quickly as possible without making us feel rushed. They had a good variety of flavors and the workers were super friendly and able to answer all our questions. We wished we lived closer because we will definitely visit again! read more

Baskin Robins with Umpqua ice cream and a different name. Went in on a busy sunny day and the girl seemed to be handling the mob of about 8 children including myself quite well. I was the only one over the age of 18 that didn't have a child with me. Addicted to ice cream much? read more

Well, I grew up coming here when it was Baskin Robbins and now that it's changed, not liking it anymore. The ice cream is good but the service makes me never want to return. Unfortunately, my son loves the ice cream so we keep coming back and I tolerate the obvious, "I hate my job and serving customers so I'll ignore you until you stand there staring me down and not smile or be friendly in any way. Oh, and I'll also play on my phone unprofessionally while you're obviously waiting to order." The first time, I thought it was a fluke. The second, third, and fourth time...well... You catch my drift. No matter how much my son begs we will not be giving them anymore money to be treated like dirt. I thought it was just that I was Hispanic and they didn't like me, then a white man came in and they were equally rude or rather, apathetic towards him as well. Buyer beware and go at your own risk. read more

I can't praise Jim's Ice Cream enough! This is my second custom cake I have had done by them (specifically Adrian decorated both of the cakes), and I couldn't be more pleased! Every single aspect of the cake tastes incredible; from the icing to the ice cream, the cake itself and the designs (no icky fondant)!! I am so happy with their work and I am always eager to help support local businesses! See images :) read more
