I had plain old vanilla bean and I have no regrets!!!!
Fun candy and chotchky selection, options for both alcoholic and NA beverages, and pre-packed pints to go!
Even a puppy will love this place -- mine did!!
If you're a people watcher, that a sidewalk view!
Enjoy the great outdoors -- bring a friend or two!!

Some of the best ice cream ever! I had the pleasure of meeting Joy and she is a sweet person. The layout of the ice cream shop is very cute. She has a patio for those who want to sit outside. You can also purchase pints of your favorite ice cream. I highly recommend Joy Ice Cream.

I've been to Joy in the warm weather I promise however this time I went in for one of the specials! The mystery ice cream box! It was $25 which honestly not horrible because it's kind of like 12 kids scoops! It was super fun trying to guess the flavors. I still need to turn in our form but I have a feeling I'm going home with a pin! Smells delicious inside, they were making fresh waffle cones when I walk in! Yum!

I was invited here by Yelp but I missed the event so I ventured out on my own on a sunny day to see what was up. I was greeted by a super friendly worker who served up the best vanilla bean Ice cream in a homemade waffle cone (that was to die for and I don't even like waffles)! We talked briefly but I was definitely enchanted by the service and the food.The shop itself is small and so cute that it just invites you to sit for a while and forget about your day. I wanted to stay there and dawdle. I wanted to dream about lazy days on the beach, skateboarders, and sunny romps in the sand. Was it the ice cream or was I under a spell?Hmmmm?I'll never know but I definitely felt the "joy" of the spirit of the place. The server was joyful. The ice cream made me joyful. The location exudes joy! The waffle cone made me giggle with joy! It's a happy, ice cream social place where you'll experience JOY!Drop over! Take a friend. Leave your cares behind. Everybody needs a little joy in their life -- why not have a little ice cream in a homemade waffle cone too!!

Such a cute little ice cream shop! This is definitely a gem of a dessert joint in Wauwatosa. Perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy a delicious treat. Family friendly and a must-visit in Tosa! Friendly service! Local charm!

Great ice cream, cool spot, longish wait in line but order came out quick. Not a lot of space to hang out so we took ours to go.

5 STARS!!!! The most adorable local ice cream shop around. Was visiting from out of town and couldn't wait to try this place out. Every time we drove by, it was PACKED! After trying their Peanut Buddy Oat Cream, I know why :) walked here on a Sunday afternoon and boy are we glad we did. Parking is sparse and mostly whatever you can find lining the neighborhood. The most unique flavors and CUTEST BATHROOM!!!!! Adult beverages for the parents and an outdoor section for private parties. I'm so jealous this place doesn't exist in other cities!

Adorable little local ice cream shop - honestly exactly what this area of Wauwatosa needs; a family-friendly little spot to hang out and enjoy a treat. The inside is very small with all the ice cream laid on the left, a few little merch options, and a variety of older games/trinkets. They have options for both alcoholic and NA drink options ranging from wine to premixed cocktails. Their decor is absolutely adorable, and the staff was very friendly offering up samples and answering questions. They even had vegan options!I had to knock a star off for lack of indoor seating/standing areas. We came on a rainy day and had to awkwardly stand by the bathroom to eat our ice cream. There are tons of tables out front and back, but it isn't conducive to visit and stay on anything but a sunny day.

Such a lovely place to stop for ice cream with the fam! We really enjoy it every time we drop in. Always great flavors to choose from - some personal faves have been key lime pie and raspberry rhapsody. The ice cream flights are a super fun way to try a few flavors, too! The service is always great, the owner is friendly and kind, and the vibe is just fun - love the decor, the outdoor seating area, etc.

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!
