B J's Ice Cream Parlor

Small ice cream parlor in Florence, close to the docks, just past the religious bookstore. They also sell salt water Taffy. Many flavors to choose from, we enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter cup and chocolate Nugget ice creams. The staff was friendly and worked quickly, my only complaint is the relatively high price point for any size ice cream cone or cup.

Note: they prefer cash and only accept cash tips! lots of ice cream flavors, and good quality ice cream. i got chocolate chip cookie dough, and it had something else besides cookie dough? like chocolate caramel pieces or something. it was yummy tho! when i went, it was pretty busy and they didn't have a line system set up so everyone was crowded and we weren't sure who was next. i think adding some stanchions to cordon off a line area would be helpful they also have lots of taffy flavors and offer popcorn. 🍿

Great little ice cream shop down by the water. Really enjoyed these two local flavors: Cascade Mountain Blackberry and Oregon Trail. (I'm glad to report I didn't get dysentery or cholera from the Oregon Trail, though I did gain a strong urge to Ford the River) I also enjoyed the classic Coca-Cola memorabilia. And this little bird decided to try and play tour guide for us from the sign.

what a tourist trap! $7 for a single scoop on a waffle cone!? yeah its a big scoop but the ice cream was NOT fresh, the server was scowling at us, and the place is dirty, unkempt. the only thing they have going for them is the location and they are clearly taking full advantage of that. I’m a big time believer in buying & supporting local (and i have never written a google review) but you gotta earn the business by making an effort. next time I’m in the neighborhood ill be going to dairy queen.

Great place to stop for an ice cream treat and some saltwater taffy! You can't go wrong here, it's ice cream! One of our favorite stops in Old Town Florence!
