Back to Top Details

This old-fashioned shop doesn't serve ice cream that tastes like steak or booze. Such edgy preparations wouldn?t jive with the retro soda-fountain-style decor and the clientele. Instead, classics like pistachio and cookies and cream fill the sugar cones and house-made ice cream sandwiches. Savory sandwiches ― egg salad and a good burger, among others ? are also available, though most customers treat them like an appetizer to the ice cream, not the main event. Keep in mind that Joe's doesn't take credit cards.
