Mango tango Joe Latti
Angelica T.

You can spot Joes from a mile away because the line is always looooong - parking can be kind of a pain, but the line moves quickly and you won't regret making the stop. We got a large mango tango Joe Latti and it was the perfect portion for two! We initially even thought it might be a little too much, but the layer of soft serve inside gave us a second wind and then it didn't feel like it was enough lol. The ice is so smoooth, the syrup doesn't taste overly artificial, AND the soft serve is ridiculously creamy. A must if you're spending a hot day with the mouse (or even as a trip on its own).

joes definitely lives up to the hype! i love coming here for their variety of flavors. the strawberry ice we got was so flavorful and the vanilla soft serve compliments it so well! they put soft serve on the top and on the bottom so you'll always get a perfect bite. parking is either street or the parking lot, there are helpers who will direct you to an empty spot so you don't have to stress about parking! sometimes there can be backup but just be mindful when driving in the area. the ordering is pretty quick as they have a speaker that tells you which counter to go to. they also let you sample just ask!

Totally not worth the hype. We waited 45 minutes for this ice. Thankfully it wasn't hot out because if it was I would never have. We got to the front and once we got there they had it very organized. They had numerous windows to help runners to help get the ice, but for it being so popular they needed more staff. We got one ice and one gelati. The ice was so strong, as if drinking the syrup strong. We got the cherry and it was inedible from the syrup. Idk if it was just that day or that is how it is but not worth the price or wait.

I got the size large Joe-latte - this comes from with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top and a layer of of ice cream between your two flavors. The large size was perfect for two people (but we were already very full from lunch). This one is the Strawberry! Veryyy good. its tart but delicious. Folks in our party were raving about the strawberry lemonade Italian ice. Oh!! and Joe' the founder/owner was there with hus husky, Joey!! sooooo cute.

I love Joe's Italian ice cream! Have it nearby too! My fave is the joe latti with wild cherry and soft serve it's soo good! Got hubby a joe latti with cactus cooler and wild cherry. I usually come by Joe's when there are no lines but my cousin is visiting from out of state so had to stop by. She ordered something with watermelon for her and something with blueberry for her son. Cousin said she loved her joe latti. Service was good. Line was somewhat long and growing.

Make sure you sample before you order to make sure you actually like the flavor. I chose strawberry banana, and it was way too sweet. Their soft serve is good, but I don't think it's worth the price.

Joe's Italian ice is great. One of the best I've had. We went here on a weeknight and the line was wrapped around the block. Parking was a nightmare (this sounds like a theme in So-Cal). We did get lucky and got parking on the side street since someone right in front of us was leaving. The line does move quick though. They have 10 order stations. We got here 30 min before closing and were able to get our order in before they closed. The most popular item is the Joe Latti, which is vanilla ice cream with your choice of Italian ice flavor. We got to sample flavors before ordering as well. I ended up getting wild cherry and mango tango, which was a good combo. The mango was sweet, just the way I like it. My group all got a mix of flavors and everyone enjoyed their joe Latti as well. Customer service was great. They answered all our questions since it was our first time here. The place is always crowded, and there is limited seating and tables in front. We were lucky to get a table. There was also kids revving and speeding up and down the street, so just an FYI. It was really loud and distracting. I would go back here in a heartbeat over any place in sac.

I been here 4x, the line has never been long for all times I been here-only to the corner. This time this evening the line was passed the parking lot to the curve end of the block. The line goes by so quick, it only took about 17 minutes to get to the many cashiers. Italian Ice is worth the wait, taste so good. I always order with vanilla ice cream. If you haven't tried it yet, it's definitely worth it.

First time (after 30 years of living in OC) I can see why people like it. The bases are very fruity and the ice cream on top is very rich and milky. Line was crazy long but it honestly moved super fast. Tried the peach mango flavor and cookie butter. Only small complaint was they only let us sample 4 flavors and the worker was a bit short with us. Figured just long day or something no big deal

Amazing Italian ice and soft serve! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect treat on a hot day. Friendly staff, fast service, and great prices. We'll definitely be back!

I have probably been here 20 times over the last 4 months so it is natural that I should review it. I'm pretty surprised that I have not already reviewed it. My son discovered this place after seeing a viral clip on it online. We tried it maybe a year or two ago and since then, every time we come to Disneyland we make a stop. Before we get to the parking lot at Disney, we must go to Joe's. Although the line always looks long, it goes by very fast. They are super efficient. The flavors are fun - my son is always trying something new. So far, haven't tasted a bad flavor. The prices aren't bad. In comparison to other places like Dutch Bros, this is much better tasting and a nicer treat. The parking sucks but hey, you're about to get a good dessert, it will be ok.

Wild Cherry and Vanilla soft serve
Jenny L.

It's been a while since I've come here for some delicious Italian ice and some ice cream. The line was long but moves quickly so that was great. I think an added plus would be if they added umbrellas to the few tables that are there or some kind of covering over the area. Otherwise, this place is definitely a gem.

Cynthia A.

This place is a must when you are out in Anaheim. So many good options to choose from. I always switch it up in either getting the Joe Latti or just the Italian ice. My favorite flavor has to be the wild cherry it's just perfect. I do want to try the sundaes they look so good. Don't be discourage if there is a long line it usually goes by quick. The only thing that is not the best is the parking . Hopefully they make other locations with more parking. You can enjoy your ice cream there they have a couple of tables you can sit at.

Ask the Community - Joes Italian Ice

Is it true they have a BOGO offer on rainy days?

Yes, if it's sprinkling, drizzling, and raining, they do the BOGO deal.

Is Joe's Italian Ice safe for pregnant women? Is the soft serve pasteurized?

I believe so but I would double check with them to be on the safe side. They also have hand scooped ice cream (Dryers) and the best hot cocoa this time of the year.

We have been coming for years because my daughter is anaphylactic to dairy and has always been told there is no cross contamination. When my daughter ordered she was told that the ice is contaminated with the dairy flavors. Is this true?

There is no way to ensure, 100%, that there is no cross contamination. Food service establishments have food safety procedures in place to reduce the risk of cross contamination, and while the business may not have any process, recipe or procedure… 

Whats the best seller?

Not sure if it's the best seller, but the Bada Bing Cherry is my favorite.

Do you no longer accept gift cards? I have one purchased few months back and cannot check balance any longer and always have trouble using since new system. Then told today you don't accept any previous gift cards anymore. What do I do with them?

Yes we do. Although we’ve changed our POS system, We still have the capability to honor past gift cards. It may take a manager to assist you but I can assure you, we will honor your cards. I’m sorry for your inconvenience but we are still in the… 

Do you guys have sugar free ice cream everyday?

Yes they do. We have revived the menu and it has stars next to the items that can be substituted for sugar free ice cream 🍦

What happened to Strawberry Colada in the Anaheim location?

They rotate flavors everyday, and also during the day when they run out of certain ones. You can also check their app for flavors, as they update the list regularly

Is watermelon flavor a summer item?

Watermelon has long been one of our most popular flavors. You can find it made fresh & on my menu every other day. On the alternate days I make Fuzzy Wuzzy, which is a combination of watermelon & peach. Thanks for asking.… 

Two Qs : 1) daughter is allergic to tree nuts. If we call ahead and order, any way to prepare an…

Please note that we only use pistachio nuts in one flavor served about once a week & it’s kept away from others, so there’s no cross contamination problem. As for the lines, they move fast, and we work very hard to get you to the front as quickly as… 

Do you guys take apple pay?

Yes they do

Does Joe's do e-cards? Want to gift someone.

No but we do have gift cards

What happened to Smurf Poison?

We have it about once a week. I recommend you call the store a day in advance & request it. Thx, Joe

Has any tried their online pickup ordering? I was wondering if I still have to wait in line for it. Came here twice and line was almost passed the pho place.

I've only ever done online picking ordering both times I've gone! It works really well because you don't have to wait in line, and you can pick up at a separate window. They… 

Are they open right now?

Yes 👍

Is there vegan options?

Yes ' lots of options

Is Joe's no longer offering delivery via post mates? :( It has been unavailable on there since the week before Christmas!! We used this almost daily. Anybody know?

Are you open on Christmas Day?

Do they accept Samsung pay or Google pay?

Sorry but we do not. Thx. Joe

Are there any vegan options?

Yes they do have vegan options. You should call ahead and asked the staff what the menu options are before going down.

How is the parking?

Small lot but adequate if you catch them at the right time of the day. Joe's is super popular over the weekend especially late into the evening. In all the years that I've gone I've never had a problem parking either in the lot or on the street…

Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.
