Great alternative to Joes Italian ice! Ice cream was great and the owner is very kind. We will be back for sure in the summer for a sweet treat. read more

Quick service & great portions! The cyclones were massive, I do wish they were less "blended" - it would be nice to have chunks of the mix-ins! But, it was good flavor. We ordered "Da bomb" latti , Root beef float latti, Mud pie cyclone & Cappuccino Crazy. Would stopping in & trying it. Will def go back read more

My family and I stopped at J's to get some dessert after a school fundraiser and it was delicious. My husband and son got the Oreo Cyclopes and I got a medium size vanilla cone with sprinkles per my daughter's request. I am giving this ice cream parlor four stars because the inside seating wasn't accessible, only outside seating. It was very cold and windy to where we decided to get back in our car to finish our ice cream then leave. So not ideal when you come with two small children towards the evening/night. But overall I would like to come back in the summer, I know we would enjoy the outdoor seating. read more

My child likes this place. And I like supporting small businesses. I typically order from the window outside but there is an inside seating area as well as a couple tables outside. Thank you for serving Italian ice for us non dairy eating humans. read more

I have been coming to J's for quite sometime now, whether it be with my son's or the wife, it has been an enjoyable place to go to get a classic cone, sundae, or more niche items like the Italian ice cream and cylcones (blizzard dupe). Unsure of the woman's name, but she is always friendly and gives great service! Sitting outside and watching the nightlife during summer and spring reminds you of the days of Foster's Freeze. I paid 7.90 with a small debit fee and was able to share this Rocky Road cyclone jr with my wife, crunchy and tasted AMAZING!!! Will continue to support this place for years to come, deserves every bit of my business. read more

Perfect place to visit after dinner. They have tons of options like ice cream, shaved ice, cyclones, and more. I love cake cones so I just ordered a simple chocolate ice cream with a cake cone and it hit the spot. My friends ordered cyclones mixed with different cookies and candies which they also enjoyed. Everything was well-priced and the service was great. Cool place! read more

I'm thinking of starting a Gofundme for this place. In need of a major facelift, like BADLY! The quality of what is offered here and service is definitely unmatched to how this place looks. Don't judge a book by its cover is the perfect example J's ice cream parlor exudes. I pass by during the summer months and there always seems to be a crowd enjoying their sweet treats. Tonight, I tried the mudslide cyclone and I kid you not, there must've been an entire pack of Oreos in my cup! Lol! I got full halfway and there seems to only be 2 size offerings: medium & large. There's no dine in options here, don't be fooled. The door remains locked and you order from the window outside. Looking into the parlor, you can see tons of boxes their supplies come in. It's just untidy and really could be organized better. So for ambiance, they get zero stars. I have yet to try the Italian ice but will do so on my next trip here. read more

This has the potential to be a good ice cream location but unfortunately 3X's I've been the soft serve is served melted when it's given to me and my family.. I will not go here again..Bobs Freeze is where you want to go..Hope this helps read more

Perfect spot to go when you have a sweet tooth! Ideal for those late night cravings. You know the place is good when cups they use are different all the time lol this time I got my ice cream cyclones served in coffee cups! Still delicious! Ok, let's start: The cyclones are very good! It's vanilla soft serve with whatever toppings you want mixed in! -- just like a McFlurry but 100x better! They are very generous on the Oreos and reeses chocolate. I am the biggest sweet tooth and these are too sweet! Very delicious though! I think a size small as pictured in my review is the ideal size. Last time I ordered a medium reeses cyclone and it was a little overwhelming; surprisingly I did not finish it lol. The banana split is less sweet and a good option! It's all vanilla soft serve ice cream. No other flavors but that's okay! The vanilla soft serve is creamy and perfectly sweet -- but not overly sweet. They also add whipped cream, nuts, a banana, pineapple, strawberry, and chocolate toppings which are very good too. The Italian ice is very good! It reminds me of a bomb pop that is topped with creamy soft serve. Very delicious! Service is always fast and they always tend to be busy! The seating is limited outside. No indoor seating. This place needs a major renovation! However; this does not affect the quality of the products sold. I think they would get more clientele with indoor seating, a cosmetic upgrade would drive more customers in. If they sold burgers and fries, etc. this would be a hit! Kind of like those old school joints such as "frosties freeze" chains found in small towns in the Central Valley -- (209 area here in California). If you know, you know! Anyway 10/10 all the time. read more

Great spot for ice cream. My daughter ordered the Kit Kat cyclone and I ordered a chocolate Sunday. Will definitely be returning. read more

I came here a little while ago, and it wasn't too bad. I got the J's latti, and it was refreshing, and worth visiting if you're in the area. While the flavors were tasty and the soft serve was delicious, the actual Italian Ice was too icy, almost like it had been sitting in the freezer for too long. Even though I came on a weeknight, there was a bit of a line and wait. While the price was actually very low, there is also an additional cost if you pay with card, which I didn't see any signs for. Overall, I think it was decent if you're in the area, but not really worth driving a far distance for. read more

Love the cyclones!! Nice to have a cool spot for ice cream and treats thats open late!

Been coming here since I was a kid and was craving a night time sweet treat. I got the banana split that has classic strawberry, chocolate & pineapple. Love coming here especially in the summer to have an icecream and sit outside. read more

Fresh fruit, friendly service. Great tasting quality ice cream and treats. Woman that served me was super nice and informative. Reasonable pricing. Support local businesses! read more

Came back for the cyclones or whatever they're called. I got Rocky road and coffee one. 2/5 stars. The rocky roads are susually made with almonds and they use peanuts, the marshmallows were stale and for chocolate they used chocolate rocked. Not good, I wouldn't get it again. I got a medium and it was huge $7.50. If I tried another I'd get a small, it's a perfect size. The coffee one wasn't great either, I think they add cappuccino powder and mix it with vanilla ice cream to that that "coffee" flavor, but didn't taste like coffee, more like cappuccino and I wasn't a fan. read more

Super small parking lot. Paid $7 and some change. Tons of Oreo cookies and toffee pieces in my Mudslide Cyclone. Cashier was super quick. The reason why this is getting three stars is because of how outdated and unpleasant look. I wish this place the best because they really have quality desserts. It really needs a remodel. I hope this business stays open! read more

J's Ice Cream Parlor has officially stolen my heart (and maybe a few brain cells from all the sugar rushes). They stay open late to satisfy all my sugar cravings, no matter the hour. But that's not all! They also offer dipped soft serve, which is so hard to find now at days. And let's talk value. J's portions are incredibly generous, especially considering the amazing quality of their ice cream. J's cyclones have all the toppings perfectly mixed in for maximum flavor distribution in every bite. Very similar to a McFlurry but, wayyyy better Just a heads up, seating is limited to a few tables outside. But hey, that's just an excuse to grab your delicious ice cream creation and enjoy it on a walk or a cruise around town! read more

Great service incredible prices and delicious taste awesome any way here are some random words

The lady behind the counter was too busy on a call to take my order for a solid minute or so

Well well little hidden gem!! So good and worth the wait, I can appreciate that the lady (I think she's the owner) was hustling taking orders and making them!! I ordered the Mudder Pucker and it was bomb, definitely coming back! read more

I've always loved this place. Although the line can get long and theres usually only one lady working and making everything by hand, they've never let me down and it has almost always been worth the wait. You can't go wrong with ANY of the choices here and I promise you will not be disappointed with anything on the menu. Perfect malts and shakes on a hot summer day or a cold night in with the one you wanna cuddle up with. 10 stars if I could. read more

You'll miss this place if you're not looking for it. It's a little gem hidden in a big street. They have a fun menu with interesting items like their "j latti" which is shaved ice with soft serve ice cream; it's great. They also have traditional stuff like sundaes, banana splits, and even milkshakes. It's family owned and the owners are cordial. Prices are reasonable and portions are great. My only gripe is that it's a little bit run down and there are only a few benches outside which aren't very well kept. It's still cozy enough especially in the evening. read more
