JoJo's Creamery - Vegan options!! With GF cookies! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Encinitas, California

Covid-19 rating: A+ "no mask no service" love it. 3 people working, 1 person just for the payment, no cash accepted (good). Very sanitary, suggest having 1 person come in for a group (smart). Very friendly service. Pros: Clean, lots of workers for service, you get a yummy mini cookie with each cup. Out door seating in large open area. Cons: Ice cream was OK, not great just OK. Place up the street gives the dogs a mini ice cream, this place charged me for 2 tiny cups for the dogs. Only have about 10 flavors and was out of 2 of them at 7pm on a Sunday. Had planned to go to Handels but as always the line was very long so decided to try JoJo's. It was OK, would debate between line up the street and the quick service here. read more

Such tasty ice cream! I absolutely loved the mounds ice cream & the mud pie had one of the best coffee flavors I've ever had. Even the little cookie they give you was warm & delicious! I'd definitely go back & try new flavors! read more

The ice cream was really good, I took off a star for the minuscule scoops the girl gave us. They were so tiny. I should have taken a picture. The mini was literally 4 bites. My son had it eaten before the rest of us got our ice cream. For the same price you can get two to 3 times more ice cream at Handels. read more

This is the best ice cream I've ever had. The bananas foster is particularly great, and the cookie has a perfect balance of flavors

Delicious ice cream. Super creamery. The cayenne sea salt was amazing, can't get enough of it. Will be back every time we are in San Diego area. read more

I don't have one bad thing to say about this place! The ice cream was unique and tasted amazing. There were flavors I have never seen before. The staff was helpful and nice. ALSO, you get a free cookie with every purchase! If you like ice cream this is the place for you. read more

JoJo's Creamery - Malted Cookie Dough - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Encinitas, California

Some of the best flavors I've ever tasted in ice cream. I took my mom two days later.

This is a popular spot in Encinitas and I can see (er, taste) why! They have a few tasty vegan options and I love, love, love their butter rum pecan. Next time, I may buy a giant vat of that and just fall face down into it! read more

Best. Ice cream. Ever. Literally can not get any better! Their vegan flavors are amazing - tastes just like regular ice cream! And the cookies that come with are also super tasty! I have no desire to go anywhere else for ice cream. Nothing tops JoJo's! read more

4 different vegan flavors!!!! I wasn't even in the mood for ice cream but happened to stroll by this place after lunch over the weekend. When I saw they had so many vegan options I had to give it a try. I ordered the cookie dough. It was delicious! They give you a cookie with your ice cream which was equally as delicious. Worth the drive to Encinitas just for the vegan options! read more

I was pleasantly surprised. It's hard to give 5 stars when you're used to eating Portland's Salt & Straw regularly but this place was pretty good. All the flavors were pretty on point. They make fresh waffle cones which are light and crunchy. Tried almost every flavor between sampling and the 9 of us. All pretty good. Every scoop gets a small mini cookie which is an additional bonus. Would definitely come back when in the area. read more

My favorite ice cream shop in San Diego! Small batches, freshly made cones, gluten free options for the celiac wife and a free cookie with each purchase! What's not to love?! My favorite flavor so far is their bananas foster. So good. read more

I love everything about Jojo's!! The freshly made gluten-free waffle cones and cookies are SUCH a gift to those of us who are gf. The texture of the vegan flavors makes them my favorite. I do wish they would bring back the vegan mint chocolate chip (please, please!) The location is also great with easy parking and lots of beautiful outdoor space to eat. I love supporting this woman owned local business- keep up the amazing work!! read more

JoJo's Creamery - Gluten free waffle cones : D - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Encinitas, California

Friendly service and delicious ice cream. Free cookie with each ice cream purchase as well. I really enjoyed the honey lavender. Peanut butter cup was very flavorful as well. Ice cream has a nice consistency. . read more

Stopped by here after early dinner with a friend. They had some unique flavors like lavender honey and cherry balsamic. We just wanted little bit so we decided to share the cup and ordered 2 flavors. The scoop was pretty small compare to any other homemade ice cream places I've been in San Diego. It was supposed to be 2 scoops but really, it would be equivalent to 1 scoop in other places. Maybe they didn't like that we just got one cup after tasting few samples, I don't know but let's just say they were a bit weird when my friend was paying. read more

This place is my absolute favorite ice cream source! I'm not sure what their secret is, but it's so much better than regular "ice cream shop" ice cream. (It doesn't hurt that each order come with a small chocolate chip cookie on the side, but ice cream is the real star of the show.) Their location is easy to get to but also easy to miss. They're tucked into the Lumberyard center on Hwy. 101 in Encinitas, just at the back of the courtyard area behind the fountain. So good it's hard to drive by and not stop, and when I do stop, I don't even feel guilty because I'm supporting this mother/daughter small business (rationalization goes a long way). hahaha Anyway, if you have been to JoJo's you should definitely add it to your list! read more

Loved the ice cream.. Loved the free mini cookie!! My kids their ice cream without skipping a beat.. Service was very friendly as well..

I actually found this place on a whim - I was in the area (Swami's Beach) when I decided, suddenly, "I would really like some ice cream". Happily, I checked yelp, and found this place an easy walk away. It is absolutely as good as their yelp reviews would indicate. Their chocolate is super chocolatey, their peanut butter cup is super peanut buttery, their mint cookies and cream is super minty and super creamy, their lavender is super lavendery, and everything is super rich and fresh. And yes, they were happy to give us samples of everything, obviously, so I can say that: all their ice cream was very good. They don't specialize in wacky instagrammy sort of flavors, they mostly just do normal ice cream flavors, but they do them very well. Then they garnish everything with a gooey rich complimentary mini-cookie (which is smart of them, since they also sell full-sized cookies, and their cookies are also great). 4.75 for a small, but their small... isn't. I like our local Long Beach craft ice cream shop ever so *slightly* more (though they're definitely in the same quality class), but Long Beach Creamery's 2-scoop is about as much ice cream as JoJo's 1-scoop. I was very pleased with this discovery. read more

This is my favorite ice cream shop. The ice creams are all so flavorful and creamy. I love the mounds coconut and lavendar ice creams. Tasty little cookies too. read more

Pricey they get u with the cookie and if u want more cookie it$3and just a little bit bigger then free cookie

Yay for vegan flavors! But I have two gripes: (1) Why are vegan scoops more expensive? (2) We were offered a free cookie but then the girl informed us that the cookies are not vegan. So... hooray. I love supporting local businesses and I 100% appreciate you offering vegan flavors -- there is not enough vegan ice cream in this town, considering it's a beach town! But to find out that vegan ice cream is more expensive and you also don't get the "free cookie" that's being advertised is a big let down. We left having spent $15 on 5 scoops of ice cream. It's unfortunate that a pint of Ben & Jerry's from the super market is a better value. read more

I am obsessed with ice cream but unfortunately am now lactose-intolerant (which is the saddest thing ever). Lactaid doesn't help with ice cream so I have always watched my friends eat ice cream sadly and longingly...until I visited JoJo's Creamery - which had four choices of nondairy ice cream! The shop is adorable and in a cute plaza with outdoor seating. Other ice cream shops with nondairy ice cream tend to be sorbets or water-based. However, at JoJo's, the ice cream is coconut based or cashew based so the consistency is still creamy and not watery. This is some of the best non-dairy ice cream I have ever had, and I have tried a lot! I tried their mint chip and peanut butter chip and ate one of their free cookies and it was amazing. My husband had the regular ice cream and said it was also amazing. So if you're in the area, definitely check it out! read more

Very special place. Each of the flavors we had were very unique and tasted amazing. Very high quality ingredients made for creamy goodness and delight. It felt like a local version of "Salt & Straw" which may be the best ice cream in the world. The cookie they added was also extraordinary. We'll be back. read more

Superb quality and full of flavor. Very dense and rich. Cookies were divine. So glad it's not close to me or I might get addicted. I tried the rum flavor and mud pie. The rum was ridiculously delicious. Friendly chill atmosphere and parking is not bad. Location is kinda hidden in the corner. We sat outside near the fountain and savored each bite. Definitely a splurge, but well worth it. read more

We checked this place out on vacation. Loved it. It so cute not mention delicious. Cookies are so yummy.

Amazing ice cream and beautiful atmosphere. The employees are amazing and so is everything else about this place. No complaints.

Omg so good! I got chocolate chip with peanut butter cup. That free little cookie is soft and yummy and kinda makes you want more lol. It matches super well with the ice cream. Sampled the raspberry lemon that was super good too. Ingredients are fresh and you can taste it. My helper was cheery and the feel of the place is super cute. Definitely recommend checking the place out. It's super cute inside and a lot of what they do helps with foster youth. Plenty of parking outside, I went around 5:00pm on a weeknight. It's tucked behind the Starbucks out front. There's a nice patio outdoor seating area right outside the door. Be perfect for lounging with friends and a couple of dogs. Would come back again and try out more flavors! read more

The ice cream was good- very creamy and good selection of flavors but customer service is not their strong suit. Three young ladies were working - one scooping ice cream, one making cookies & one waiting for another customer. None of them greeted us, said welcome or asked if they could help us. When we ordered the only question was if we only wanted one flavor ice cream. We paid, we're given a cup w three free mini cookies and as we walked out the door, we said " you're welcome" since none of the three said thanks, come again, or we appreciate you coming in today. Oh well, we will try somewhere else the next time we want ice cream. read more

This ice cream is delicious! Love the free cookie, The coconut mounds is my favorite!!!!!

I recommend the lavender honey ice cream. My husband agrees as well. It was amazing! Very light, fresh, and perfect for a hot summer's day. I mixed mine with cookie dough ice cream. They also offer a free cookie. read more

JoJo's Creamery - Lavender honey and cookie dough on a waffle cone with a complimentary cookie. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Encinitas, California

Great flavors- honey lavender, malted cookie dough, mint cookies and peanut butter cup. I liked that the waffle cone was kind of soft. Four stars because the consistency wasn't as creamy as I like and melted quicker than a thick creamy version would have. I would go back. read more

I've had ice cream in Switzerland, France, Japan, Korea, NZ, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Belgium, Scotland, the UK...but this one is my favorite. No horrible aftertaste, it doesn't melt into a weird foam, the flavors and consistency are perfect. Don't get me started on the smell in there...heavenly. Can't wait to come back. Staff was young, friendly, and nice. read more

hands down best ice cream in Encinitas. I get it every time I come. Other places have lines out the door and I've waited in line just to walk back here. amazing vegan ice cream and ice cream is my favorite food. one suggestion. I am BEGGING for a vegan cookie. I ask every time I come and I always hope it will be there. this would be a DESTINATION for San Diego people that eat vegan if they had cookies as well. I pinky promise. I highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent quality! Perfect consistency and natural flavors. This is the best vanilla since Haagen daas. I ended up getting the peanut butter which tasted perfectly like peanut butter. The honey lavender was delicious too- it was a tough choice. Skip the "hot fudge" - it wasn't hot, it was just chocolate syrup and was too bitter. BF didn't like it either. The free cookie was delicious, melted chips- soft on the inside and crispy on the edges read more

I was very interested to come and try out this ice cream shop. I saw their sign on my way to go get dinner and I thought this would be a good place to try out dessert. It's a small little shop with such a cute modern twist with Tiffany blue color scheme. Do not expect your basic ice cream flavors here. I was very torn between choosing flavors so I asked to sample some. They gave me a regular metal spoon. I was very impressed because they are environmentally conscious. Now with every purchase you get a small little cookie and you can choose between a regular cookie or gluten-free free cookie. I got the regular cookie and it was so soft and packed with flavor even though it's just a chocolate chip cookie. I ended up going for the mud pie ice cream. I'm a coffee enthusiast and it came with brownie pieces inside. I mean what is better than that. It was the perfect amount of chocolate and the coffee mix. Both of those made such a nice blend together. read more

This place was ssooooo good. And got a free cookie. The staff are very nice. It was tasty

The ice cream is wonderful. Huge variety of gluten free and vegan flavors. The cookie (also gf optional) is a wonderful touch, and the staff is happy and kind. What a gem! read more

As far as taste goes, this spot has the best flavor/quality of ingredients in the area. The prices are a bit higher though. Customer service was good and you get a mini chocolate chip cookie with your ice cream. They have all of the pints pre-packed so you can't combine flavors. Parking is available on the street. Definitely worth a try! read more

My 3 friends and I were hunting down an ice cream shop after watching a sunset in Encinitas. We stumbled upon JoJo's Creamery and weren't the least bit dissatisfied. We went around 8:30 PM and there was hardly any line (which is great compared to the other ice cream shops in Encinitas at this time). JoJo's is decently priced and has a very exotic array of flavors. I tried the Honey Lavender with the Malted Cookie Dough. However, Banana Foster and Cayenne Salted Caramel we're definite favorites as well. I got the JoJo 2 flavor size and used the "Free Sprinkle" coupon on Yelp. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive a little free cookie upon purchase to eat with my once cream! I would definitely come here again and would love to try the other flavors including their vegan optio read more
