Great ice cream, good service. My fave is the Eskimo chocolate and coconut. July flavor of the month is cotton candy. Lots of choices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's relaxing to sit in rocking chairs under ceiling fans and people and traffic watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've driven past this nostalgic little spot so many times and I finally stopped -- and wow, totally worth it. It was a cloudy, kind of chilly day, but that didn't stop us from ordering two scoops: lemon cheesecake (bright, creamy, and tangy in the best way) and Eskimo Kisses (think moose tracks meets a hint of coconut -- surprisingly addicting). Even with the cold air, the ice cream hit the spot. Maybe bring a jacket if you're going on a non-sunny day! Service was fast and friendly, and prices felt totally fair for the portion sizes. I love that you can either walk up or drive through depending on your mood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor setup is super cute too, even if we were shivering a little.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jon's is such a sweet, small-town classic -- and now I totally understand why locals are loyal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back to try more flavors this summer hopefully when it's warmer! read more

What a treat! Will be back soon! 100/10! :) read more

Jon's Ice Cream Store and Restaurant - Salted caramel praline with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tiffin, Iowa

Stopped by while in town with my family, I really loved this place! The loose meat sandwich was absolutely delicious, enough pickles and onions to get some in every bite without being overwhelming!! The blue raspberry slush was wonderful as well! The menu variety is amazing and I wish I could have gotten ice cream. I will definitely be back on my next trip. Service was great, it's awesome there's a drive-thru! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't eat inside but fisherman Herkie provides a lovely ambiance outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The whippers are super good, and the service has always been excellent. The cooked food is hit or miss

Shannon not only blends a mean malt but is also capable of reattaching loose car bumpers. Employee of the month! You rock!

I have driven past this adorable little yellow ice cream shop more times than I can count but after a hot hike at the newly re-opened Kent Park-- I had to drive thru and get some cold sustenance. Due to the pandemic, the indoor seating area is closed. HOWEVER, you can drive through or order/eat outside. Pricing was on point. Menu was standard. But I think the chocolate shake may have been one of the best I've had? Come get a scoop of deliciousness and stay socially distanced this summer! Jon's is a forty-year Tiffin tradition worth trying. read more

We tried the blueberry kid cone, blackberry seasonal cone, and then a chocolate, marshmallow, shake. Everything was SO GOOD and my son went crazy for that blueberry kid cone. We will be back to experiment with different flavors and try the flavors of the month as they switch out! read more

Super ice cream treats and a cut above your usual seasonal dairy stop! Soft serve and hard packed scoops with real flavor creativity (black raspberry pomegranate sorbet was on offer today). We only ate outside, but the restaurant looked cute! read more

Stopped in today for an ice cream treat. They have so much to offer here from scoops to soft serve. I had a chocolate malt, my oldest went for a hot fudge sundae, and our youngest had the cutest chocolate sprinkle cone. Everything was very tasty! There is also a food menu that we need to explore one day! read more

Had the turtle sundae. The pecans were toasted to a richness that stood up to the caramel well. It was delicious. I try to stop every time I'm in the area. read more

I enjoy when ice cream joints have special, limited times flavors. Had the yogurt of the month, Caramel Pretzel. Good size, great flavor. One of the big plusses is the fact that they have soft serve AND hand scooped. You don't see that too often around these parts anymore. Just a few minutes west of the Coral Ridge Mall, and worth the detour. read more

Damn good. In the middle of a tornado warning we headed here and we'll we needed ice cream! It was delicious flavors and sundaes all good and no terror over the impending and then nothing because it never came here tornado! I had some Carmel salted chunk sundae which was amazing. read more

Jon's has tons of options to satisfy your sweet tooth! Good food too! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Be patient as Jon's is typically a teenager's first job; they're learning so it may not look perfect, but it's always delish! read more

This roadside eatery along US 6 in Tiffin is a good place to stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and ice cream, eat in or takeout. The place has outside takeout windows in front of the building, as well as an indoor counter and seating area (there's a Multicade game machine too), plus a drive-thru if you don't feel like leaving your vehicle. There are picnic tables outside the building. The food offerings include items such as breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot & cold sandwiches, hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken, seafood, soups, salads, soft pretzels, and fried foods. They have a Super Walking Taco which is a bag of Doritos topped with seasoned ground beef, cheese sauce, lettuce, salsa, & sour cream. The frozen menu offerings include soft serve & hard packed ice cream, frozen yogurt, sundaes, clipper whippers (flurries), ice cream sodas, floats, shakes, malts, slushes, freezes, smoothies, ice cream novelties, pie ala mode and custom ice cream cakes by Kris. Before driving out to Des Moines, I stopped by Jon's Ice Cream Store & Restaurant for dinner takeout after a quick visit to Iowa City. I ordered the BBQ Special ($7 plus tax) which included a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, 2 side choices (I chose baked beans & potato salad), and regular soft drink (Diet Pepsi). The food I had was really good. The sandwich had very soft pulled pork in a sweet BBQ sauce topped with dill pickle chips on a toasted Kaiser bun. The sides, though in small cups were tasty. The baked beans had a sweet and smoky flavor with pieces pork in the mix. The potato salad had a firm texture, sweet and creamy. I did not get any ice cream on this visit since I was already drinking Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks for my long road trip leg to Des Moines. read more

We love their food and the service is great but I was frankly shocked that not one employee was wearing a mask today when we went through the drive through. We will not be back until after the pandemic if this is your policy. Dangerous! read more

We stop for clippers several times a month. My husband and son started a game this summer to see how many bites they take before they get cookie dough. Today when we stopped we ordered two more clippers. Cookie dough clippers to be exact. One had one chocolate chip and a spoonful of dough in it . The other one didn't have anything. We noticed this summer that the quality has really gone down. Last summer it was hit and miss for quality. We will not be stopping anymore. read more

Need to come back to try out the real food, but rest assured - your ice cream dreams will be fully realized by this place. Hand-dipped, soft serve, sundaes, they do it all! read more

Jon's Ice Cream Store and Restaurant - Special this month - Georgia Peach soft serve! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tiffin, Iowa

Really good Ice cream, terrible customer service. Ordered a burger, mozz sticks and some wedges with nacho cheese. We then get told to pull up, no big deal, however 30 minutes go by and I'm sitting there waiting thinking that a drive through shouldn't take as long as a dine in place. I pull into a space and go ask about my order and they all yell it's coming out now and I'm like cool but I just waited like 30 minutes with ice cream in my car etc. anyways the lady brings my food out, I say thank you then she says you know we take call in orders for stuff like this. Like why is there a drive through. Also burger was 7 bucks and definitely not worth it. I have supported this business since I moved here but not anymore read more

Been coming here since Jon opened the door years back, same good food and ice cream. The service is usually very good but they have had there off days just like anyplace does. Have recommended this place to friends and family and all have enjoyed Jon's. read more

Great food! Fast and yummy! Kids love the garbage can sundaes! Never had any bad service!

Definitely worth the drive! Perfect place to stop to/from Kent Park. Delicious food and ice cream. Convenient parking. Easy to find. Friendly service. Locally owned and operated. read more

Very good food& ice cream is amazing Eskimos kisses is tasty. Employee's are friendly and helpful...

Been coming to Jons for years and last night when we went there it was the worst service ever!!! I'm sorry but some of the kids that work there are so so rude! my ice cream cone was a leaning tower. They shouldn't be making ice cones if they don't know how to make them look decent! And they need to learn to finish one order before doing the next. they need to slow down and take there time. I was so not impressed with the service. There are a few people there, who need to go. It wasn't just me who was complaining about how some of the employees were acting. There were other customers there too complaining how certain employees who were rude. read more

Tenderloin was huge and pretty good. Would not recommend getting a malt if you like them thick...they were very runny. Cones were soggy and ice cream scoops small for price. read more

Great food and ice cream. If you're in the area it's worth checking out Kent park while eating your ice cream.

We were excited to go here after all the great reviews. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Not sure if it was just the kids working or the overall ice cream, but it wasn't good. The mango fro yo reminded me of orange baby aspirin. The crunch coating didn't stick so they handed me a cup of the crunch coat with my cone. The Oreo whipper was soft serve with a dusting of generic sandwich cookie. The peanut butter supreme was tasteless soft serve with peanut butter liquid poured over the top. We didn't try the hand scooped ice cream so maybe that's where the good stuff is. 4 out of the 6 in our group threw their ice cream away and trust me, these are people that do not throw food away, especially ice cream. read more

On Sunday May 31 my family came to town and we decided to get some ice cream at Jon's. We placed our orders which included 1 sundae, 2 shakes, a root beer float, a slush, an ice cream sandwich, and 1 cup of soft serve. 10 minutes later we received the cup of soft serve. 15 minutes after that my mom asked one of the employees how much longer our order would be, and she was told not much longer. 10 minutes after that and after 2 other orders were finished, for customers who ordered after us, my dad asked what was taking so long. This led to a conversation that included an employee asking my mom if she "went to church today?" Apparently the employee was implying that because my parents had the need to ask why an order for ice cream was taking 40 minutes, this meant she was such a terrible person that she needed some Jesus is her life. After finally receiving our complete order after roughly 40 minutes we left. Needless to say we will not be back. read more
