My family and I came here for dessert after Mother's day. We all wanted some ice cream and have been wanting this place, so we we went. We ordered 4 flights of ice cream, a total of 16 flavors of ice cream. From cookies n cream, chocolate chip cookie, marshmallow, salted caramel brownie, vanilla, cookie monster, the dough flavors, you name it. We wanted to try them. The look on the cashier's face was stunned and he was shocked asking if we are really sure about this. It was hilarious. Made our night. After trying all the flavors, I don't member them all, but I ended up loving the ones I thought I wouldn't like and didn't like the ones that I thought I would. The vanilla, salted caramel brownie and marshmallow ice cream were my favorites! Will come back here again :) read more

$12 for a scoop of ice cream with cool whip on top is crazy. My kids didn't eat their single scoops because the texture was more like thawing jello than ice cream if that makes - must be full of oils and gums and other things to artificially get that texture verses using real cream & milk. The label says Blue Bell but this is not it. Wanted to love it, but just meeeeeh. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. I ventured over today, & was met with gratitude that I walked in the building. I was met with a friendly, welcoming, inviting atmosphere. Every employee there was happy I was there and even happier I was enjoying myself. (I was in heaven. I LOVE cows!) I got myself the Salted Caramel Cheesecake Shake & my friend got The Sunshine Shake. Both of them were absolutely incredible! We have now named this as our go to place when we want a sweet treat, even though we absolutely hate going to town center. We'll be there now, (probably biweekly) will bells on! My daughter's birthdays coming up and I just know she's going to LOVE the mermaid shake when we take her! 10/10 hands down the absolute best milkshake I've ever tasted! read more

I risked my life (okay, mild inconvenience) trying to find The Yard at night since the exterior signage lights weren't on. But like all great dessert adventures, it was worth it! Isaiah and Adam greeted me immediately & turned the lights on like I had just unlocked a secret level of milkshake access. They walked me through their menu, which is SO large it should probably come with a map and emotional support. I chose the Chocolate Cookie Craving, which had just hit the menu and hadn't even been made yet. So yes, I'm basically part of The Yard history now! The shop was spotless, decor was adorable, and they had plenty of utensils and straws available.. which is critical because these milkshakes are basically an Olympic sport! They even have a jar washing station so you can rinse out your glass jar and take it home. Honestly, that level of thoughtfulness deserves a standing ovation! It wasn't busy when I went, but I already know summer here is probably beautiful, delicious chaos! read more

The Yard Milkshake Bar it's an absolute must go! They have so many incredible items to choose from: specialty milkshakes, specialty sundaes, specialty bowls, soda floats, and their delicious half-pint bowls made with creamy Blue Bell ice cream. The location in Town Center couldn't be more convenient. While I was recuperating from surgery, my friend Debbie surprised me with the Salted Caramel Brownie milkshake, and I'm convinced it helped with my recovery--lol! This masterpiece features salted caramel brownie ice cream, caramel and chocolate drizzle, all served in a chocolate-iced jar rolled in dark chocolate shavings. It's topped with a full brownie, whipped cream, and even more caramel, chocolate drizzle, and chocolate shavings. Definitely satisfied my sweet tooth and enough for 2 nights of consumption. This was truly an amazing treat, and I cannot wait to go back and try the other November specials. read more

When it's freezing but you're still craving ice cream... haha. Cute spot! Went with my family and got some ice cream. Yummy flavors and cool concepts. There was a weird smell that we noticed, which was not the best as you're eating ice cream but not sure if it was just that night maybe. Would try this spot out again with a milkshake next time! read more

My wife and I stopped by here for a Valentine's Day treat, ice cream was very good. The service was nice. They delivered it to our table outside my wife got the Ferrero Rocher shake, and I had a brownie mud side sundae. Both were so big we weren't able to finish them, next time we will split one. The shop is nice inside and they have a huge menu very kid friendly. read more

Fun place with many selections. The menu included creative combinations to make your sweet tooth happy! The staff were friendly and helpful. There was adequate seating and the decor was cute with a cow theme. I managed to eat my favorite rocky road ice cream even though I was full from dinner. It seemed like a popular place because there were more people arriving as the night progressed. read more

The Yard Milkshake Bar - Milk & Cookies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Decided to give this place a go. Located in town center same plaza as hobby lobby. I was in the mood for ice cream and this place did not disappoint. Inside was really cute and rustic. love the shiny wood interior and farm light bulbs. The staff was helpful and informative since the menu was huge. They were kind enough to let me try samples. I tried the oatmeal and butter crunch and was extremely impressed. Usually Im a stickler for Kilwins toasted coconut but I must say thins definitely was up there in par. The oatmeal flavor tastes like oatmeal cookies and creamy and the butter crunch had peanut butter brunch and chocolate chip flakes inside. I was just simple and got ice cream scoops but their main items are actual milkshakes served in mason jars. a lot of fun themes like jaguar shake and birthday shake. they decorate the milkshake up in cones, sprinkles, colors, cookies. The menu online has some pictures which give you an idea nevertheless really fun delicious items off the menu. I will definitely be a regular cause i'm hooked to try the many other flavors now. read more

We stopped by The Yard Milkshake Bar on January 3rd at night, and from the moment we walked up, the place had a cozy charm with its glowing hanging lights. Inside was a little chilly (expected for an ice cream spot), but the warm welcome from the staff made up for it. Before committing, my girlfriend and I sampled a few flavors, and the Oreo one instantly stole our hearts. So, naturally, we went all in and ordered the Ultimate Oreo Sundae--and wow, was it worth it! The moment we took our first bites, we were hooked. Rich, creamy, and packed with Oreo goodness, it was the perfect indulgence. If you've got a sweet tooth and want an over-the-top, delicious treat, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Just be ready to fall in love with every bite! read more

The gentleman behind the counter was amazing, it wouldn't have been half as much fun without him! He knows all about the menu and he'll make recommendations and have you try different combinations until you find what you like! read more

First, this was my first time here (& to be honest found it by accident) and immediately were greeted by James who has OUTSTANDING customer-centered skills. Such a friendly man and great representative for Yard Milkshake! Next, can we say (well not say big type) selection over-load! Sooooo many options with regard to flavor and how you want it! The presentation; I can't even begin to describe the creative and artistic manner in which they carve out what one would think is simple a milkshake. Nope, they take it to the next level and bring out masterpieces. I would weigh a million tons had I worked here! read more

This visit happened months ago. Yelp flagged it but it is a true story on our visit to this location. Do not go here. We came here with high hopes. We checked back three days in a row for the waiting line to be gone. We finally got there and was sadly disappointed. We ordered off the menu. We each changed one ingredient in the what we ordered. Thirty minutes later they are giving people that ordered after us their orders. When we questioned where our order was. No one had any idea. They took our recipes to go make the order. It took another twenty minutes before we got our order. They never returned our receipts. When we got the orders. They were not made the way we ordered them. The orders nothing like on the menu. read more

Milkshakes here are amazing! They're crafted and decorated beautifully! Nice creamy and service was quick!

Cute little shake/ice cream bar. Seating is quite limited but luckily we were able to snag the last table by the door. I love the option to view the menu via QR code. They sell Bluebell ice cream which is pretty sweet for my tastebuds but it was still nice. The best thing about this experience was the customer service, we were greeted upon entry and a gentleman took the time to explain our options and the menu. He offered to let us sample anything we wished. I'd recommend this place for a different experience but the pricing is too high to frequent often. read more

Our family came here before an escape room appointment. It was about 9:30 and it was pretty busy but the day didn't stop the employees from being very friendly. Our group was 3 couple who each shared a treat. We got the Brookie batter milkshake, Brookie, batter boss bowl, and the cookies and cream milkshake . All were very delicious and social media post worthy. Our son said the only thing he could think to add was for them to sell milk because of the richness of the treats. read more

I took my kids to the Yard Milkshake Bar for my son's 9th birthday because he said he wanted Milkshakes instead of cake for his birthday and I loved that idea. These milkshakes were really good and the best part was that it wasn't a full house so we were able to sit and enjoy our milkshakes without being surrounded by a ton of people. The service was great & we will definitely be returning. read more

Wholly overkill Batman! A picture of this place needs to put into the Dictionary next to the word Decadent, and I love it! We got "small" versions of the Rainbow Chip Brownie, Salted Caramel Cheesecake, and the Mint Green Monster. Without going into detail for each of the bowls... the ice cream and toppings were great. My favorite was the Salted Caramel Cheesecake. The "small" had an entire piece of cheesecake in it. The only complaint for me is that there were three employees working at this location preparing what appeared to be six different orders. It took us nearly 20 minutes to finally get our bowls, which seemed like a long time considering they were not busy at that time. Still.. cool place with a great concept. read more

Me and the family visited The Yard Milkshake Bar this past Sunday and let me tell you that this place is legit. We arrived about 10 minutes before opening and there was already a line forming. Once the doors opened we got in and drooled in awe at all the different selections. We ended up with a kids unicorn cup and a Brookie cup. The kid really enjoyed the unicorn; it was like jet fuel once the sugar hit. Me and the mrs split the Brookie cup complete with a whole fudge brownie and cookie atop cookie dough ice cream. It was absolutely delicious! Service was fantastic! We were greeted at opening by owners Charles and Beth at the door, and by a friendly and welcoming staff behind the counter. read more

This is a place where the long lines are understandable. I went during the week in the middle of the day so no line. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Welcome to sample any and many flavors. So far, the Deep Dish Apple Pie ice cream is my new flavor addiction. Various flavors of ice cream and a multitude of milkshakes, sundaes and cookie dough options to choose from. You can substitute ice cream for a preferred flavor if you want to but a spin on it to your taste. I had the Sunshine Shake and it definitely brightened up my day. The owner is very welcoming and told me the backstory to this creation. This is exclusive to Jacksonville only. So if you have to travel far for it, I think you'll be satisfied. It was so good, I finished it down to the glass bottom. Souvenir glass jar is optional. If you've been, try a new flavor. Yes, it sounds weird on paper but it tastes good for your taste buds soul. If you have been, try it! They have smaller sizes so you don't regret buying it and you don't like it. With so many flavors, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like and you'll go back for a bigger size. The Yard, where ice cream sounds weird, looks great and taste mmm-licious! read more

With over 22 locations in 11 states, "Shark Tank" winner, The Yard Milkshake Bar gives Jacksonville its very first franchise Bar. How sweet it is (no pun intended). They're Milkshakes are definitely bringing all the boys (and girls) to The Yard. Soft Opening is Monday (5/16) through Thursday (5/19) and Grand Opening is Friday (5/20) through Sunday (5/22). They feature 30 flavors of Hershey's ice cream. They also have edible cookie dough. What makes them special are their Specialty Shakes, which for $5 more you get a mason jar that you can keep. They even have a jar rinse bar where you can rinse and take home your jar. Walking in, we originally intended to order a Specialty Shake but none of us were prepared for a Sugar Coma, so Option B, we opted for ice cream instead. We plan on coming back.... to THE YARD!!! read more

I waited almost an hour in a line outside in the heat to try this icecream and so you better believe I had high expectations. I also brought three others with me. I'll say first and foremost that there just is not enough inside seating. People were standing while eating waiting for anyone to leave their seat. I do understand that they're new and this will probably dwindle down. But for now, it's not enough. The staff is awesome. They were really working hard to make sure everyone got their icecream promptly given the high demand and everyone was super nice and keeping the place clean. The location in the town center is awesome! The town center needs a new icecream spot :) They do have a lot to choose from in regards to flavors and toppings. They offer lactose options too which was nice. My brother is lactose and said that the icecream was nothing different from anything else he'd tried before. The icecream is very desirable to look at. Without a doubt the presentation is 10/10. But as a dessert lover, this icecream didn't taste particularly better than any other icecream I've tried. There was a certain favor to it that I didn't love. I'm not sure what it was but nobody in my party even finished their icecream. It doesn't taste like what you'd get from any other popular icecream place. But that may be what sets them apart to others. I'm sad to say, but I was just unimpressed. The price is not justified unfortunately for me. I'm sure others may really like it though. Sad to say I will not be back. read more

HOT & NEW! This place just opened last week and it is THE place to be! Line for us was down to the PGA super store. They have staff outside limiting who can go into the store and when. I got a bowl with the Brooke batter specialty, which was really good! The presentation was fantastic and I really enjoyed the cookie dough portion of this desert. I shared mine because the portions are very large. I would come again if I was in town center area. I'd like to try the popsicles and cookie doughs. The line for us was about 30-40 minutes. I actually left my friend in line and went shopping in Best Buy. The line hadn't moved when I retired. We didn't get to sample the ice creams, but maybe just bc the line was long and the staff were really busy. read more

I can't imagine a world where milkshakes don't get a 5 star review, and fortunately, today is not that day. The Yard Milkshake Bar is a new addition to the St. Johns Town Center area. It's a small space, but the crowds were managed beautifully. The staff member working controlled the line by allowing a few guests in at a time, and having the rest wait outside in line. This way, the milkshake makers have time to place orders and make their creations, and everyone have a fair shot at snagging a table and eating comfortably without waiting customers in their space. It was super efficient. I wish I was able to try everything but it just wasn't possible. Our son went for a simple cappuccino crunch milkshake, and my husband and I split the green mint monster. Y'all. Ours was nothing short of epic: the glass was rimmed with neon green marshmallow and chocolate cookie crumbs, and full of minty milkshake. The whole thing was topped with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a super fudgy brownie. It was way too thick for a straw. The Yard features a washing station, so you can clean your glass shake jars and take them home. It's a nice perk for the $17 price tag on those signature shakes (the regular ones and plain ice creams are much more reasonable). You can also get edible cookie dough in all different flavors. read more

me and my friends went here for the glinda and elphaba ice cream, and one of my friends is blind and needs her guide dog so she had her with us. we were told 15 minutes after we had entered the establishment that my friend could not have her dog in there. when we politely said its her guide dog, they said theres nothing they could do about it, and that its the owner's rules. we are not upset with that worker at all, we understand she couldnt do anything about it. but being forced to leave because my friend is blind and has a literal service dog is unfair and non inclusive. she should be allowed to have the same experience as everyone else (sitting inside with her well behaved and registered service animal) we hope that this message reaches the owners and spurs a change of heart on this issue, as it is hurtful and definitely makes us unsure about returning in the future. keep in mind, this breaks ADA rules! also there are customer reviews of how "dog friendly and accommodating" The Yard is, but this is not what we experienced. read more

I walked in on a weekday afternoon and was greeted by kind employees. The decor was very cute! There are so many flavors and options here! If you're into sweets there's plenty of options here. They have ice cream, milkshakes, and edible cookie! The first time I came here I got the Cookie Monster specialty bowl. I wasn't a fan of the whipped cream. It reminded me of cool whip. Which I prefer real whipped cream. The ice cream was really good! There were Oreo and cookie dough pieces in it. There were cookie cereal pieces and a edible cookie dough sandwich on top as well. WARNING: your tongue and mouth will be blue . I couldn't finish it because there was a lot of sugar going on. But I do suggest if you get a bowl have a HUGE sweet tooth or be ready to share. Sharing is caring. The second time I went I got just the ice cream and that was better for me They have some vegan and gluten free options so again, there's something here for everyone. read more

My teenage girls and I went to the Yard milkshake bar yesterday with my girls. Milkshakes are $17 each and include a keepsake jar-type glass. There is a deep sink available to wash them out and bags provided to wrap them up and take them home. The milkshakes are delicious and though pricey, the experience is well worth the money. The line is usually long but moves at a good pace. Service was friendly and warm. If you don't want a milkshake, you can get the same fancy order as a ice cream in a bowl for around $12. Definitely worth coming for a special occasion. read more
