First time here. My friends took me. The Italian ice was so good and yummy. I had the peachy kiwi. We ordered at drive through, service was fast. read more

Joe's Italian Ice - Peachy kiwi - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Service is often times quite slow, but staff are friendly and helpful. The soft serve is some of the best in the Valley- extremely creamy and smooth. I love the variety of flavors they have here- my favorites are their cherry (both versions, one is more like a candy cherry and the other is a natural cherry) and lemon flavors. If you are feeling like you need a a sweet treat on a hot day , a Joe-Latti (soft serve AND ice) is the way to go. They also have punch cards, which I like. :) read more

We were the only ones in here for a good 30 minutes, but I mean, it was the middle of the day in the middle of the week...most people were at work or school, so we didn't let that deter us. We each ordered an Italian ice, because duh, it's in the name, right? He got regular cherry and I got Bada Bing Cherry, and we both got ours topped with custard. For me, the custard (vanilla) was a great choice to help tame the VERY strong cherry flavor. I am not complaining in the least, but we both got larges, and the flavor of mine was intense, and there was soooo much of it! I will caution to beware of your flavor choice, as you will leave with a coordinating tongue color! Also? Beware of brain freeze....it will sneak up on you. From the outside, the place is very drive-in looking, even though it's not one. Once you walk in the doors, there is a very strong red and white color scheme, and all the decor is 50's real or inspired. There is an original wooden phone booth complete with bench and folding door, a barber's chair, and signage, among other things. Don't forget to look up, because stuff is all over the ceilings AND in the skylight bumpouts. The tables and chairs are 50's style chrome and vinyl. Joe's has been on my to-do list for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got the chance to visit. It's a refreshing treat on a hot day! 11/2026 read more

This was okay, I liked it but it wasn't as good as the one in Anaheim CA. The reason I took away one star, was because the ice under the soft-serve ice cream was flavorless. We are used to our flavored ice to have the flavor we picked... but we both tasted each other's ice and it was really flavorless despite the color. In Anaheim, the flavor of the strawberry or mango is truly there and it's noticeable! I guess it's not the same out here in Arizona... The place was decorated like a soda fountain shop from the 50's and a vintage garage; interesting vibe! Otherwise the staff were good, friendly, but short staffed. A line built up very quickly and I overheard some folks complaining that it was unusual. So not my best first time at an establishment I like. Bummer. But not terrible. It was fine. (Again, I am comparing to the Anaheim establishment and this one isn't worth a long line wait, let's put it that way.) read more

Really wanted to like this place, but the pricing is tough to justify. Paid $8.60 for a single scoop of ice cream served in a small styrofoam cup. The product itself was decent, but the portion size versus cost just didn't feel reasonable. Comparable places like Handles are less expensive and give substantially larger portions. Unfortunately left feeling more shocked by the price than impressed by the experience. Will be our last visit here read more

Only great things to say! Wonderful and cute icecream shop that has a lot of choices that include different flavors for Italian ice, sundaes, and icecream. I recommend trying whatever sample they offer for their Italian ice, they are all delicious and the seasonals are so good! The service is wonderful, everyone is super nice everytime I visit, and they are super quick! They have indoor seating and ordering with a lot of fun decorations inside. they also have a drive thru! read more

I'm not much of a sweet liking person, but on this evening, I decided to try out Joe's Italian ice. The service was great as I really didn't know what I wanted and they offered me a variety of samples. They have quite a large selection to choose from, and I opted in for the Dole pineapple vanilla swirl cone dipped in chocolate. As I took my sweet treat to the car and took one bite I couldn't believe how flavorful the pineapple was. Then you add that with the chocolate dip and this was truly a memorable treat. The inside is similar to a diner, it's open and clean with lots of light. There's plenty of Ample parking around and behind the establishment. If you enjoy sweets and you're looking to satisfy your craving, definitely try this place. read more

Came to visit my bestie in AZ and I was so stoked to find out they had Joe's Italian Ice over here! I had to bring her ASAP when I saw it and guess what? She loved it! I've been to one in Cali before, so it was really fun to experience it again out here in Arizona. This place will always hold a special spot in my heart... and definitely in my stomach. I always try something new when I come here, so you just have to find a flavor you like and go for it! A big plus about this location is that it's huge! I'm a total fan of the inside - all the neat knick-knacks and great details make it fun to explore, and your eyes will always find something new. Service was friendly and quick, and something to keep in mind with Arizona heat: this spot is perfect for cooling off on a hot day! read more

i'm a frequent at the anaheim location and this place was just so much cooler. there were so many decorations inside the place that just made the vibe so litty. tried the pink pixie joelatti and wow. their soft serve is just on another level. although there was a bit of a wait, it wasn't nearly as long as the ones in anaheim. plus, they even sell some cool stickers!!! a great souvenir from AZ read more

Joe's Italian Ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

What an interesting place. I don't even know where to look, it's so stimulating inside! Popped in on a random stop and nostalgia for Italian ice, remembering these stops with my father when I was a kid. I got the classic Italian ice. Service by Victoria was lovely! She is so warm and welcoming and offered to let me sample multiple options before selecting. That was delicious! read more

I had such a great experience at Joe's Italian Ice thanks to Sierra in the drive-thru! It was my first time visiting, and I was trying to order while also dealing with my crying baby. Sierra was incredibly sweet, patient, and understanding the entire time. She even made goofy faces at my baby to help calm him down while I figured out what I wanted, which honestly meant so much to me. She never once seemed annoyed or irritated, even though I was taking a little extra time. Her kindness and positive attitude completely made my day. Because of her amazing customer service, this definitely won't be my last visit! read more

Joe's Italian Ice - Wild cherry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Always love to visit this place! First, I always have a great time checking out the decors inside the shop, which are nostalgic and unique! Second, the ice I get is always delicious! Love their mango and strawberry flavors. And the vanilla ice cream underneath is rich and not too sweet. The staff are also friendly and efficient! I've been there several times and never had to wait for too long to pick up my order. Highly recommend this place if you also like Italian ice! read more

BEST SOFT SERVE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Location is great. No long line like the one in Anaheim. Never got a chance to try Joe's because of that. But was able here in Arizona due to no wait time. They have flavors of the days and change menu flavors consistently. Favorite one is watermelon or cherry. They let you try sample as well so deciding is easier. I recommend the the Joe Latti, best of both worlds! read more

The Joe latte was good but service is horrible. I walked in with 3 people ahead of me and it took 20 mins. There was one person taking the orders and making everything as the orders were placed. There was another employee just standing around barely doing anything to help. I know it was a holiday weekend but staff better. I definitely won't be returning. read more

Absolutely love this spot! Feels like a slice from back home. I always get their cherry and vanilla joelati and could not be happier. Service is always fast and friendly. I almost always want to double back for another. Inside has an amazing decor with all of the old school memorabilia. Takes me right back to Jersey. read more

So fun coming here. It's the perfect summer pick me up. It was quick and easy to order. Tons of options to pick from. I had a root beer float and it reminded me of the elementary school parties but in a big cup. 10/10! I loved the variety of choices and dairy free options. The soft serve was so smooth, literal perfection. The shop is perfect for a cute date, family stop in, and Instagram worthy! So many areas for photo op's and some really fun puns! Happy summer fun! read more

I thought Joe's was only located in Anaheim, so I was so excited to see one here in Tempe! The drive thru is a huge plus also. There are so many different Italian ice flavors to try, and I highly recommend getting a Joe-latti, which is Italian ice with a flavor of your choice + custard. It's the perfect balance and so delicious. Such a great place for a quick sweet treat, I highly recommend! read more

Well apparently the bogo deal only applies to certain people!! My son and his girlfriend just went to joes and the customer in front of them asked for the bogo deal cause of the rain, the employees sierra gave them the deal. When my son asked for the same deal the denied it. They claimed it wasn't raining anymore. But here we are on 5/24/26 and it's still actively raining. The fact the employee and even manager gave them attitude instead of honoring the deal is beyond ridiculous. So please talk to your manager April about her attitude. If you gave the deal to the customer right before them and not us that seems a little unfair. read more

Wow!! I got the Dole Whip / vanilla soft serve swirl with mango ice (and a lot of other ice flavors I think they forgot to put in) and it was incredible. The ice cream is smooth and creamy - and it's always a special treat to get dole whip outside of Hawaii. The ice was flavorful without being too sweet or tasting like artificial syrup. It was all blended in already and the ice is smooth and snow like - not crunchy. It combined really well with the soft serve, so it really wasn't like an afterthought or just throwing ice cream upsells on random things. I got a little chilly eating so I recommend bringing a jacket if you're coming in winter time! read more

Best place hands down when I need a pick me up... I'm a plan girl and love my wild cherry joelati but every is amazing... my baby's love the pup cups.... I mean, come on how bad can a place be if they give your babies pup cups? Service is always amazing. All the staff members always serve with a smile. I love the atmosphere all the signage and old-time feel. I love it. There's also a sign outside that reminds me of home that has my hometown name in it. Indio, California actually know the sign. lol... hands down 10/10 read more

First time here, recommended by a friend. Really like the decor. Their ice cream is really creamy and thick for their sofserve. And their Italian ice is really good as well. My first time. They were kind enough to offer samples for the flavor of the day even without us asking. Their samples were quite big as well. I felt the joelatti which is a combination of their soft serve and the Italian ice is a great combination. They also have sundaes and milkshakes which I haven't tried but definitely would like to try. Off late most places renovate to be more trendy and modern appearing but joes Italian ice has a very retro look which is quite unique to the place and adds character and originality to the place. read more

Love this place!! Being from California I'm so glad AZ has one. Flavors are always great and love that they have a sugar free option.

We just had Joe's in Anaheim and we forgot how much we love it here. Came to the Arizona location where we live and it was cooler inside. Less flavor options but they were so nice and were giving out the raspberry tart samples for the flavor of the day. Loved our orders and can't wait to try different flavors. Defs will be back read more

Very cool place to get a treat! Decor is very fun and cool! The girl at the register was very helpful, and offered samples to help me make a decision. I decided on the Joelatti, it's your choice of soft serve ice cream with your choice of slush put together. I chose the wild cherry slush with vanilla soft serve. Was truly a flavorgasm, so good!! I can't wait to come back and try other menu items! read more

By happenstance we can across Joe's whole eating across the street. Upon arrival, we were greeted and asked if we would like to try today's flavor: dreamsickle. It tasted just like the flintstones orange pops (IYKYK). We had our hearts set on other flavors: cookies and cream with a twist, and my boyfriend got a cherry flavor with real cherries. Hard to say a lot about Italian ice, but I've never had any better than Joe's. It's a fun environment, great prices and a delicious treat. read more

I really enjoy this place ! Especially since it's so hot here in AZ during the summer months. I've only ever been through the drive-thru so I can't say much about the atmosphere on the inside. I noticed they have outdoor seating as well. They are always super fast and friendly. They generally offer samples & the ice cream is of great quality! Highly recommend stopping by. read more

Amazing service and such cute decor inside giving it a nice feel when you go inside to order! The drive thru comes in handy too on days where you just want to grab what you like quick and efficiently. The flavors are amazing and I specifically like the strawberries and cream Italian ice! The sour flavors are usually my go to but that strawberries and cream is perfect in all ways! I definitely recommend this especially in that summer heat! read more

The customer service at this location completely blows away the anaheim location. I had a very fruitful conversation with the cashier and she threw in a free dole whip soft serve for my party. The interior decoration made me feel immersed in the retro vibe. The ice cream was delicious as always! I will be back the next time i'm in tempe. Anaheim needs to step up, this raised my standards. Great job! read more

First time going here. The decor is fun and gives you something to look at while waiting in line. This place is popular! The tall blonde young man with glasses at the counter was very enthusiastic and helpful to us. He gave us samples and asked if we wanted to purchase a key chain. The Italian ice was fantastic! So many yummy flavors to choose from. We'll have to go back to try more! read more

My dad and I decided to have dessert here we got the dole whip and soft serve swirl, I haven't had silky creamy soft serve like that since Costco first opened you'll have to give it a try. The interior is decorated with street signs and stoplights it's so cute and old fashioned. The gentleman up front was super helpful and friendly, he offered us samples and was very quick. Will be returning with family, this establishment is adorable and delicious. Thank you to the gentlemen up front again he seemed to be by himself working the front with lots of customers read more

An ice cream lover's dream. I love ice cream and this is the place to be, no wonder it's so popular! I wish I came here sooner. The place had a retro themed to it that needs to be experience for yourself. The place offers more than just ice cream. They are known for their shaved ice. I got a hot fudge sundae because I was craving something on the sweet end. The girl who took my order was friendly and explained what would be on the ice cream I chose. I will be coming back here again thanks to my amazing experience read more

I was introduced to this place by a friend a couple years ago. Now that I live closer to Joe's Italian Ice, I can see myself coming here more often. When I was a kid growing up in the Valley, there once was a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour at this intersection. It's cool that Joe's Italian Ice is serving up their popular Philadelphia-style Italian Ice in the same spot that I grew up eating ice cream at. Joe's has so many flavors to choose from. I think I counted close to 60! Hard to say which one I think is the best because so far I have enjoyed all of the ones that I have ordered. I always get my Italian Ice with a "Joe Latti" - their soft serve ice cream that they ship from Pennsylvania. If you are a Dad, Joe's gives out an Italian ice to all the Dads for Fathers Day. Joe's Italian Ice opened their first location in California and then came to the Valley in 2014 to open this Tempe location. They are easy to spot because their building is painted with the colors of the Italian flag. read more
