Ok, I really don't have a sweet tooth. But since we were in this shopping center for lunch, I finally decided to try their ice cream. I got a spoon full of cayenne salted caramel. After tasting that, I didn't even want to try anything else. I got a full scoop of it in a delicious gluten free cone that they make on the property. My husband got the peanut butter cups. They also offered me cookies which smelled delicious. They had a gluten free and regular options. Everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the honey lavender. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Best ice cream in the world. That banana foster will undoubtedly be winning gold in the Ice Cream Olympics. I have never had something so divine. And don't get me started on the nibby chocolate. I brought my family here 3 times in one day. It was seriously that delicous. Shoutout to the people running this shop. I had to take down all of their names because they were all so awesome! Makana, Kayla and Shivani, you guys made my family's experience delightful each time and you all have a very bright future ahead of you. Cheers! read more

Cute place in a cute plaza! Stumbled upon this but will definitely come again! I highly recommend the Coconut mound (it has chocolate chip flakes and a really nice coconut texture!). My boyfriend really liked the cayenne sea salt. It first tastes like creamy seasalt and caramel, then it'll burn you with the cayenne. I would personally prefer it without the spicy but still very unique and it's my bf's favorite! read more

I walked into JoJo's for fun and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the mint cookies and cream and the ginger lemon honeycomb. Mint is always a classic go to flavor for me/ But the ginger honeycomb was amazing. You can taste the ginger but its not overbearing. And it was balanced perfectly with the lemon and sweetness from the ice cream and honey. It was light and creamy. I would come back just for that flavor alone. Also the cookie was equally delicious. It tasted like a brown butter cookie that any bakery would have on display. read more

Delicious ice cream place! I had the peanut butter cup ice cream, which was pleasantly peanut buttery and had a nice saltiness to it. But there were a bunch of great options (including vegan ones)--I also tried sea salt caramel with cayenne, which was quite good, and will be trying bananas foster when I go back. And they give you a free (small) cookie with your ice cream! Very fun spot to stop for ice cream. read more

The best ice cream I've ever had! Love the cute little cookie you get with each order and they have a gluten free option

Came here yesterday after lunch. We tried this spot during the Taste of Encinitas walk and enjoyed what they sampled so decided to come back. SERVICE - The two girls working were nice. They let us sample the different flavors before we chose what we wanted. ICE CREAM Mud Pie - This had chunks of brownies throughout and a great coffee flavor so it was very tasty. The ice cream itself was creamy and not icy at all. Pomegranate Pistachio Swirl - I rarely stray from coffee/chocolate/peanut butter flavors but when I tasted this, I was sold. It had a very unique blend of flavors and had candies pistachios throughout. It was so good! Great little ice cream spot. We would come back! read more

This is by far my favorite creamery in SD. We drive all the way from Mira Mesa when we have the cravings for ice cream. We tried different ice cream places but this hole in the wall does it for is read more

Super nice staff, excellent ice creams, and they come with a free cookie! Ice cream flavors include the basics, as well as exotic ones, seasonal and daily specials. Lots of gluten free ice creams and gluten free cones as well as vegan ice creams, and the cookies you get free are either regular or gluten free. And they're all phenomenal. Super tasty ice creams and cones, and the cookies are delicious! I'll be back here for sure. read more

Hands down top three ice cream shops in San Diego!! Things I love about JoJo's: Well crafted ice cream flavors made with premium ingredients in small batches, limited flavors to choose from which makes choosing a flavor less overwhelming, free delicious mini chocolate chip cookie, plenty of outdoor seating. I've been here twice and always end up getting the same two flavors. Peanut Butter Cup and Coconut Mounds. SO GOOD. I am very particular about mind blowing ice cream. It can't be too sweet. Great ice cream in my opinion has to be a little more complex in flavor than what you would find with the common local grocery ice cream (nothing wrong with something like Dryer's Ice cream of course). This means quality ingredients should be used to create a well balanced sweet and slightly savory flavor. JoJo's offers all of the above and more. Service was super friendly. The Jo Jo 1 Scoop is perfect. It allows you to get 2 Flavors for $4.75. I can't wait to come back to JoJo's!! read more

This is my type of ice cream place and I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it. My family and I walked along the 101 after dinner one night to get a scoop of something sweet and creamy. lol and behold, JoJo's gave us just that. It's a very small shop churning small batches of flavors. I had a junior single scoop of the coconut mounds ice cream whisky my husband had two different flavors. Each order is served with a mini homemade chocolate chip cookie which is perfectly crisp yet soft in the middle. I'll definitely be going back to this ice cream shop. read more

This place drew me in by my fellow yelpers and led me astray. The flavors are very unique and lack delicious flavor. I would give it more like 2.5 stars only because the place is cute and the employees were kind. My biggest problem is they need to let you sample the ice creams and that would have eliminated this review. As I'm sure they must have some delicious flavors I went ahead and ordered the Banana fosters with a waffle cone , which was horrible as In not edible it was too artificially flavored. I went in and asked the girls kindly if I could swap it out as it was really bad they obliged and I opted for cookie dough since that's generally a safe flavor. Yet again disappointing but I was fine and went on my way. My son loved his and said it was delicious he got the mint cookies and cream with a waffle cone. read more

Great ice cream with waffle cone plus homemade mini cookies. A lot of variety of flavors and nice staff.

Ran across this place, while walking down the street. Decided to stop by and give it a try. My girlfriend got three scoops of different flavors. Peanut butter, cookies and cream and spicy cayenne sea salt caramel were all delicious. Highly recommend coming here and give a try with the whole family. read more

I first want to say that the girls working at the counter were AWESOME! They were so informative and friendly! Even through masks you could see their smiles! We ordered two JoJo's and a kids scoop. The first JoJo was 1/2 mud pie and 1/2 malted cookie dough. The cookie dough was SO YUMMY! It had tons of cookie dough! Mud pie was supposed to be a coffee base with brownies and fudge. After all the cookie dough I was a little disappointed at the amount of brownie. I had one tiny piece of brownie (although the piece I had was delicious). Also the coffee flavor was very mild. I wouldn't have said it was coffee if I didn't know. The second JoJo was 1/2 coconut mounds and 1/2 lemon raspberry shortbread. She said the coconut mounds was perfect but didn't love the lemon raspberry shortbread. My son had vanilla with sprinkles. He was a HUGE fan and didn't leave a single drop! We were all big fans of the cookies that came with our ice creams! Perfect and still warm! They have great outdoor seating out by a fountain! Would definitely come back but would probably try some different flavors! read more

JoJo's Creamery - So excited for the mini chocolate chip cookie! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Encinitas, California

Much better quality ice cream than Handel's, it's really no comparison. They make ice cream here like it's supposed to be made and don't try to dazzle you with a shit ton of flavors and gimmicks, just good quality ice cream that actually tastes amazing. In my most recent visit I had coconut mounds and bananas foster, both had that creamy texture you look for in quality ice cream and the flavor was dispersed throughout the cream. But honestly any flavor here is probably worth getting, they all look so creamy. In short, I won't be going to Handel's anymore, yeah you get a ton of ice cream and there are way too many flavors but quality is subpar compared to JoJos. read more

The Banana's Foster flavor is fantastic. Love the free mini cookie with purchase. The portions are the perfect size and the prices are very reasonable, especially being a beachside location. My boyfriend and I love coming here and we can't wait to come back! read more

Delicious creamy ice cream. The coconut mounds was my favorite this time around. The chai vanilla was a bit much for me but if you're into those flavors they really do pop! Gluten-free options galore! Came in on a late Thursday night and service was still prime with all Covid-19 related requirements in place. I've definitely be back to this delicious creamery. read more

A home run! We love the fact that they use organic milk, and make all the ice cream and add in's from scratch. They even give you a chocolate chip cookie when you check out. The ice cream is delicious! We really enjoyed the peanut butter cup flavor. We will be back! read more

Lavender honey mint chocolate ice was good I can taste the salt in their ice cream. I like that they give you a cookie. The train in the background at times is very interesting read more

Yo yo Jo Jo's Is the kindest north county creamery and really convenient delivery too Repeat customer Waffle cones recommended Never disappointed read more

I really wanted to like it - they have some unique flavors and everything minty is good and the kids love it, but I'm not just not a mint fan. I sampled the chocolate and the salted caramel with cayenne and just didn't care for either. My daughter and her friend got kid scoops of white chocolate peppermint bark - one with chocolate marshmallow sauce and one without. Each comes with a free mini cookie which is cool and was a welcome surprise! They have several vegan ice cream flavors and a gluten free mini cookie, which is nice for those with dietary restrictions. Their waffle cones are freshly made to order and they were awesome. I just didn't love the ice cream. read more

Holy cannoli!! I was just casually walking down the street and decided to randomly walk into this creamery. But in honesty it must've been the angels of God whispering in my ear to come into this shop because I was not expected to taste heaven in each bite. Pumpkin cheesecake: all the blissful happy moments of thanksgiving but in ice cream form Apple Crumble: tastes exactly like an apple pie with Ice cream but instead it's ice cream with apple pie Peanut butter cup: thin plentiful shavings of chocolate mixed with the perfect peanut butter ice cream- chefs kiss Butter pecan: when they say they butter, they mean it. Who's dieting these days anyways? To top it off- a FREE delicious chewy cookie with every purchase. Heavenly I tell ya!! read more

My first time experiencing a gluten free waffle cone!! Their flavors are all so unique and all so good. Sometimes (and most times), the special flavors are not GF, but not Jojo's--it's all inclusive for those of us who need to eat GF. Absolutely love it and would rank as one of my very top ice cream shops. The choco chip cookie could be better in terms of chewiness, etc., but hey, it's complimentary, so what's not to love!? read more

I had high hopes for this place - the ice cream wasn't great - the ice cream had a gritty texture, not creamy at all. The flavors sounded better than they taste. However, the compliment cookie was amazing! I wouldn't come back for ice cream, but would consider coming back for the cookies! read more

Great little ice cream shop tucked away off the 101 Highway. The shop has a nice selection of classic flavors with some unique flavor ideas. Of course our go to is the S'mores any time we can, and thankfully JoJo's had just that! The flavor of the ice cream was smooth and creamy yet not too heavy and the Cookies & Cream tasted just as pleasant. The only issue we had were we felt like the ice cream cones were very generic and not the best flavor wise. We think having the perfect cone to go along with great ice cream makes the experience go from good to great! We will be back to try some new flavors! read more

This is my favorite ice cream shop in SD! Friendly and patient staff, delicious ice cream, and gluten-free friendly. It is not often I can find a GF waffle cone. I recommend the honey lavender and mixed berries with sprinkles. read more

We came here this past August on a hot Sunday with some family members. Yelp had a check in offer for an extra cookie which was nice, but if I remember correctly they gave everyone a little cookie with their ice cream which I thought was so sweet (literally hehe!). Overall simple class spot in a mini mall area with several different stores and patio area to hang out at with ample street parking in front. read more

Yum! Nestled behind St. Tropez and I'm between my favorite crystal shop, I had to drop by when I saw their sign tempting people to come "get a scoop" and the words "gluten free" and "free cookies!" All within the same sentence! Of course the unusual caught my eye and I even tried the non dairy....and while good, opted for the whole dairy HAHA (duh). It was pretty good! The girl behind the counter was super sweet and literally told me I could try them all since it was my first time and I pretty much allmostt all did. Again the non dairy chocolate was good. The vegan sorbet was good. The cookies and Creme was good. And the caramel cayenne was bomb! But spicy! But that bananas foster was amahzing! + free cookies! Those gluten free cookies r yummy! (They have regular too) read more

01.14.2018 Little O and I stopped by here when hubby and H went to the bike store down the way. She got the Mint Cookies & Cream which had a good amount of crushed up cookies and just the right amount of mint. I had the coconut chocolate chip ice cream and it was like eating a Mounds candy bar. Best part of it all was the free mini chocolate chip cookie you got with your scoop. I tried the gluten free cookie and it tasted just like a regular chocolate chip cookie. Perfectly refreshing for a nice, sunny So Cal "winter" day. read more

Sooo good! Love this little ice cream shop! Great flavors and the cones were light and perfect! Will definitely return again soon!!

We are here from LA. The flavors are very good. The size for the price also very good. In La for this price you get half of ice cream. They gave us a free baby cookie for each ice cream. Highly recommended! read more

Just happened to find this ice cream shop while walking around in Encinitas. They have really great flavors! I love that they offer 2 flavors for their single scoop ($5.25), so their prices aren't bad. I thoroughly enjoyed my ice cream (honey lavender and mixed berry). My friends also really loved the lemon berry shortbread. Also, they give warm chocolate chip cookies for free with your ice cream!! Such a nice touch! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more
