Ice cream in the snow has to be one of life's best pleasures. If you don't want ice cream, you can always have some hot soup at Joy's ice cream. Great community partner. They partnered with a local theater group to sell Christmas trees. We bought a beautiful tree here. My house smells wonderful. Merry Christmas to the Joy ice cream 🍦

We came here with the family after dinner for a treat on an unseasonably warm October evening that was just crying out for ice cream! My sister and I shared a flight of oat milk- based vegan ice creams and Italian ice-style sorbets. Such a big assortment of creative flavors, and lots of outdoor seating. We couldn’t resist taking home a few pints from the carryout freezer too!

We really enjoyed our visit to Joy Ice Cream! We had been wanting to go for a while and we were not disappointed. Everything about the space inside and out is so perfectly curated and decorated, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. The service was great and there was a large selection of ice cream to choose from! We chose a house made waffle cone with Brownie Cascade ice cream, and an ice cream flight with Blackberry Lemon Bar, Mint Avalanche, PB Hearts Chocolate, Munchie Madness. The flights come with two cups of your choice of toppings! We did Oreo and gummy bears. We loved the ice cream and will definitely be back soon!

Very cute little ice cream shop. Intriguing flavors at a fair price. My scoops were delicious and plenty. Place smells like a waffle cone which was very pleasing. Friendly service and I will definitely patronize again!!! All in all a great foodie experience 😋 ❤️🍦

This is such a cute spot for ice cream and a hit in the summertime. They have a small indoor area with a little shop and activity area, as well as an expansive outdoor area with lots of seating a a walk up window! The menu is full of delicious ice cream flavors of a variety of options, including non-dairy. I enjoyed the blue moon oat in a cake cone. It was made well, not at risk of falling apart as some other ice cream shops do, and the ice cream was delicious. The service was great, fast, and friendly!
