Wow! Great flavors- and a free high quality home made oat chocolate chip cookie to go with it! Really great ice cream and price for a sundae was great (3 scoops for 10$) and got some nice waffle chips to go with it. Beautiful outdoor spot to sit and enjoy it too! read more

Quite possibly my favorite ice cream in So Cal! The staff is friendly and helpful, and there is plenty of outside seating available. The Nibby Chocolate ice cream is fantastic and comes with a mini chocolate chip cookie. I recommend upgrading to the larger cookie! read more

Really good vegan ice cream!! This is my new favorite for ice cream in San Diego! I'll be back to try their additional flavors but I liked that the vegan options didn't all use coconut milk for the base! My friends ordered the regular non vegan flavors and enough theirs as well! read more

JoJo's Creamery - Vegan Chocolate Chip (GF) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Encinitas, California

Sometimes you eat something so delicious that you can't stop thinking about it. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's magical. JoJo's is one of those places for me. Some friends were gushing about how good the ice cream here is, but I honestly wasn't expecting too much. Then I tried some samples, and I instantly perked up. They were good! It was tough to choose, but I went with the cayenne sea salt caramel. The sea salt caramel was everything you would expect and love, but the cayenne gave it an unexpected afterburn that somehow made the sweetness all the more delicious. It wasn't a combo I would have picked on my own, but it really worked. And it only got better the more I ate. Side note: they have an extra small size that's not on their display. It's about half the size of the smallest they have up, but it's still a generous amount of ice cream. For $4.25 you can get enough to make you very happy, but not feel like you've overindulged. Each order comes with a complimentary mini chocolate chip cookie. And it isn't just a random add-on. It is *good.* Like maybe they should rethink being an ice cream store and be a cookie store instead. They also have a gluten free version, which I didn't try but have been assured is also excellent. Is this the best ice cream in San Diego? I think I need to visit regularly in order to properly make a judgement! read more

Service was great and super nice. They give you a small cookie along with your ice cream order, which is nice. The cookie isn't anything amazing though. The ice cream itself was average tasting for me. It's not bad ice cream. Nothing stood out to me as amazing, but everything was just solid. It's a little pricey for what it is, but again that's just my opinion. I was told this place is amazing. Overall it's very average to me. read more

Superb! One of the best ice cream shops around. Must to try! The flavors and the ice cream texture and consistency were some of the best I have had in SoCal. read more

Super good and reasonable prices! It was a cool rainy evening and we chose ice cream and loved it. Just think how great it is on a warm summer day! read more

Tremendous ice cream. I don't really go out of ice cream often. My point of comparison is more basic delicious stuff like Foster's Freeze. While I've been to Salt and Straw I find it too douchy. Jojo's is delicous. Smooth in texture, creamy, icey. Not overloaded with sugar and intensity. 10/10 will hit this every time we go to Encinitas. It's perfect for post-Moonlight yum yum. read more

We stopped in for dessert when was visiting from out of town. It's a small place line out the door. There is a large outside courtyard to sit in to enjoy this amazing treat. You can sample the flavors and get a cookie w each purchase which was yummy too. The flavors are not your typical ice cream flavors. I really loved the lemon berry shortbread flavor. The staff was very pleasant. Would definitely go back. read more

one of the best ice creams spots I have ever been to. I always get the honey lavender & peanut butter cup but honestly every flavor there is too good. And it always comes with a free cookie (gf option as well!). The staff is also very friendly and let me try a handful of flavors. There isn't any indoor seating but since this is located in a plaza, there are a ton of outdoor seating options right out front which I preferred anyway on a summer evening. read more

Their lavender ice cream is really good! Service is quick. I love the vibe here. I'll try more flavors for sure!

Stopped here while passing the area. It's very flavorful but I'm not a fan of the texture. It's more gritty/icy and I'm more a fan of creamier ice creams. My favorite part was the free cookie. They're small and crispy on the edges. They also offer gluten free cookies. read more

A for amazing! The Mud Pie is a coffee ice cream with fudge and brownies mixed in. Mamma Mia! (Kisses fingers and thrusts hand to the sky) On top of that they gave us a fresh warm chocolate chip cookie to go along with it. Thank you to the ice cream angels at Jojo's! read more

I'd been sleeping on JoJo's for 5 years since I moved here. It seemed nice, but just out of the way enough and ordinary-looking enough to just get repeatedly passed by for the other options with round-the-corner lines of people, or boba by the beach convenience. Man, what a mistake. Of all the places I've tried, this place is just... the best. It's not overly sweet, or overly creamy and it doesn't even taste like ordinary ice cream. It has a thicker, more layered consistency that I think if very satisfying and complex on your palette. The options here are numerous, and based on what I've tried, all pretty good, but- as a peanut butter guy I just feel like their peanut butter cup formula is top notch. It just has this thick but creamy texture, full of dark chocolate notes, freshly grounded and combined with a mystery ingredient of ... honey comb? What a combination. It was surprising (and sorry I spoiled it) but it just. Works. And now you can guiltfree *feel* like you're enjoying an overmuch ice cream cookie sandwich (looking at you, Baked Bear) with the free micro cookie as the JoJo patented 'cherry on top'. Great stuff. Oh yeah, and JoJo's won't flex its ingredient profile anywhere in plain sight, but I went to their website to try and figure out what's different- and it looks as if we've got a completely home grown encinitas local- completely fresh and organic ingredient list that really confirmed in my mind that this is tasting so refreshing and easy on my stomach because what they're putting in there is just high quality. Cheers for your service read more

Most accommodating staff! So friendly and so kind! And best ice cream in the city! LOVED!!!

Such a cute little spot! I loved the atmosphere and wish it wasn't so hidden. The girls that worked there were super sweet and bubbly and it matched the vibe perfectly. Great customer service and samples were available. The pecan pie ice cream is to DIE FOR. I had the small size of pecan pie and vanilla bean and it was a perfect combo. Their ice cream is a great consistency where it isn't too heavy and isn't too light. Really enjoyed, also free mini cookies come with your ice cream read more

As somebody who's worked in the ice cream business before - I'm always somewhat critical of ice cream places (in a nice, "how good are the sprinkles way"). JoJo's was really pleasant - AND they had vegan flavors! I got vegan mint chip in a kids cup and it came with free sprinkles (which were good by the way!!!!) and a free chocolate chip cookie. The vegan mint was very subtle. It had a hint of mint but nothing too overwhelming, and not too sweet either. More on the refreshing end. Delicious afternoon treat and a tasty experience. Tiny little shop in a corner, you'd miss it if you weren't looking. But you should definitely be looking! read more

Lovely staff, very nice, great tasting treats and awesome location. Can't wait to try all the different flavors!

Outstanding - just outstanding - ice cream and cookie store in Encinitas. Bikes by it during the day and made a mental note to return for dessert. The creamery is in a somewhat random strip mall. Don't let that turn you off. The ice cream flavors here are both recognizable but new. They mail basics with details / additions / changes that create something entirely new. The cayenne caramel; chocolate with cacao nibs; lemon berry shortbread. My mouth is watering remembering the glory of last night. And then the cookies and waffle cones. Just phenomenal. I'll be back! read more

I am a total ice cream lover and can't believe I have never been here before. What a fantastic little place. You can try as many flavors as you want and the flavors are really interesting but not too out in left field. They still had the staples like vanilla and chocolate chip. The portion sizes are good and the prices are right in line with other high end ice cream shops. The best part is that every single order comes with a fresh out of the oven homemade chocolate chip cookie (which you can even get gluten free if you want) that is to die for. In comes in a little wax bag given at check out. The cookie was warm and the chocolate all melty - wow! I love ice cream but if you could just get the cookies I would be happy too. This is a tiny place so the line winds out the door but moves fast. There is no indoor seating but there are lots of tables and chairs in the courtyard in front of it. I have already told all my ice cream pals about this place and I will return with them to share the yumminess. read more

Our kids really liked this, and the staff was friendly. And it's nice that they give a free (tiny) cookie with every ice cream purchase. However, definitely pay attention to how you're charged. We ordered three JoJo cups and was charged $39. I had to think about it a bit more after I left, and then returned to the shop and confirmed that I was overcharged. When I brought it up, it felt like the more senior worker (she was on the register initially) knew what had happened but she didn't proactively say anything. The other worker there looked into it and realized they had charged me for 5 cups vs. 3. Not sure how that would happen but they processed the refund without any issues. I'd like to think it was an honest mistake, but with inflated prices everywhere, it's easy to assume costs have skyrocketed. read more

BEST COOKIES EVER... super buttery, a tiny crisp, nice and chewy, perfect balance of chocolate chips... all in one cookie! Which is FREE with your ice cream?! Offered to you by young employees who are sweet, helpful, eager, and when I compliment them on their celebratory service (who isn't celebrating when they buy or sell ice cream?), they toss an arm around each other, say how much it helps to work with close friends, and quickly bring up how sweet and wonderful the mother-daughter boss team is that they work for. The feel of a good workplace environment really does trickle down from boss to customer! AND... Cayenne Sea Salt Caramel ice cream?! No taste of cayenne, but just a liiiiiittle burn after the sweet-salt of caramel? YES. I ordered a scoop of Mud Pie and a scoop of Cinnamon with *warm cookies* underneath (they created an ingenious way to heat them up) with hot chocolate/ fudge syrup on top (which I wish was thicker), but I brought a serving of Cayenne Sea Salt Caramel home! Can't wait to go back!!! read more

Flexatarian is my grub bag. More plant-based. Eat meat. Goin by moderate carbs with good proteins but more healthy fats. Keeps me lean and mean! Keeps me away from ice cream. Give me, give me those delicious sweet sugary carbs and creamy fat. I'm not goin to panic! It's organic! I'm breaking down! My mouth is watering for JoJo's all organic ice cream. 3 scoops for lunch. Count 'em. Yum! Yum! Yum! Nibby chocolate, cayenne caramel sea salt and cold brew cookie. So so creamy dreamy creaminess bliss delish! 47 creamy carbs in my dish!

Average ice cream. Staff scoop very skimpy scoops with nearly no add-ins left in the metal containers. I don't recommend for the price.

Fabulous ice cream option in Encinitas! We swung by here after enjoying lunch nearby and it was the perfect dessert option. The store is located in a strip mall and parking was plentiful at the time of our arrival. The employee working was very friendly and offered an abundance of samples. Very cute and cozy storefront too. My recommendation: take your time, tell them what you like, and don't suffer from dessert FOMO or envy haha To be candid, everything we tried was delicious. As others have mentioned, the texture is oh-so-creamy. The flavor combinations are great too - if you enjoy lavender the honey lavender is delightful. I personally opted for the chocolate chip and peppermint chocolate. Yum - looking forward to trying more! read more

The gluten free cookies might be the best you'll ever have. You can buy them frozen and bake them yourself, but them cooked at the store, or eat the dough frozen which I'm sure isn't recommended but it's dang good. I'm not a big ice cream person and don't really do much dairy but I think they've got the best gluten free cookies in town. Chocolate chip with little bits of toffee. Pretty incredible. read more

Cute creamery in Encinitas! Lots of unique flavors like Cayenne Sea Salt Caramel, Mud Pie, & seasonal favorites like Pumpkin Cheesecake. Most of their flavors are GF. Mint Cookies & Cream: So, so creamy! I highly recommend this flavor. Pumpkin Cheesecake: I mean, you have to try this because it is fall! Loaded with pumpkin flavor. read more

We loved their ice cream -and have been taking our kids there for the last few years. We will not be going back there again. Realty disappointed with their response to our recent, rather horrific experience there. What would have happened had our 5 year old boy swallowed the metal wire from their cleaning equipment? thatcher found in his waffle icecream? Luckily he found it and spat it out. Parents, and well everyone be ware! Lame way to deal with potentially a very serious situation. Not to mention the long term possible damage to our beautiful boy. We won't be going back or recommend it to anyone. Not something I wish upon anyone. Made me very nervous about eating ice cream out, to be honest. NO Stars read more

So yummy! Stopped by yesterday to treat my mom for some ice cream. I got a waffle cone with their mint and chip and she got the waffle cone with bananas fosters (something she loves but it's hard to find). We were given generous scoops and a small cookie each. Ice cream was delicious and so were the waffle cones! I'll definitely come back once the weather gets warmer. read more

Found JoJo's just while walking along the street in Encinitas which happened to be a great find. I had the bananas foster and my fiancé had the lemon berry shortbread. Both ice creams were delicious along with an amazing waffle cone. The thing that puts it over the top is the free cookie that comes with every ice cream purchase! Great cookie, great ice cream, great dessert. read more
