Josh & John’s Naturally Homemade Ice Cream

Hands down the best ice cream. You can’t go wrong with any flavor. They’re all so creamy. Bonus was the man behind the counter was extremely friendly despite there being a lot of customers, a situation that could have been hectic he was very calm instead of flustered. Very impressed with this place, I’ll definitely be back!

My family of five stopped at Josh and Johns while house hunting today. We had just looked at two houses and hiked Ute, so we welcomed the idea of ice cream. Walking in the place seemed extremely casual. It was just some chairs and tables with an ice cream counter to the left. It was a no frills ice cream shop.
I was hoping to look at the various flavors through a glass display, but the flavors were in a freezer just behind the counter. We were greeted quickly in a friendly manner and were told we were welcome to try any of the flavors before choosing. I love peanut butter, so I chose the salted peanut butter cup without needing a taste. My husband and 2 of my children tried a few flavors and all wound up getting the same ice cream I had chosen. We opted against any toppings.
The ice cream was the best we had ever had. It tasted like salted caramel and cream. We all loved it! It was about $ 17 dollars for 4 single servings (20 with small tip). (We did not get 5, because one child doesn’t like to eat sweets.)We might not buy a house in that area of town, but we will definitely be back for ice cream. Give it a try!

Maybe best ice cream in CoSprings, but on the grand scale of all things ice cream, they’re probably just a little above average. They have a few unique flavors, but I wouldn’t describe it as «gourmet ice cream». Still, not bad.

Almondjoy and Malted Mazel Toff are your winners. You’re welcome. Honestly you can’t go wrong here; everything I’ve had is original small-​batch, delicious, house made ice cream.
Come here any day instead of Cold Stone. Alright, pay a few cents more than you expected for ice cream, but support local business. Also, let me know if you find this rumored carrot cake ice cream; I can’t believe it exists until I see it/​try it for myself.

Super friendly service! The cashier lady was charming and fun. We sampled a few of the flavors before settling on Almond Joy, Triple Berry Sorbet, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
Everything was tasty. A fun place to visit on a Sunday afternoon, one of the last ones of summer, with your favorite people to enjoy some bomb ice cream.

My kids love this local Colorado Springs ice cream place. They have a great deal on kid size scoops. The staff are friendly and they have a nice rewards program

This place has some awesome ice cream. The home made waffle cones was the icing on the cake so to speak! If you are in the area and looking for some good ice cream, this is the place.

i’m a big fan of sticking with the home team, and Josh & John’s is every bit the Colorado Springs home team. While I think the neighborhood is puzzled that they opted to fill out a location that even Starbucks couldn’t make work, they dish up good ice cream, and I hope they stick around so that I don’t have to drive downtown whenever I need my fix.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
While this Northern Colorado Springs location doesn’t have nearly the floor space or the atmosphere that is so organic to the downtown location, J&J’s has worked nicely with what they’ve been given. There’s enough indoor and outdoor seating, and the fun and colorful flavor board and visible inventory keep the kiddos occupied. My server was fast and friendly, and when it comes down to it you can’t ask for much more than that. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
$ 4.35 isn’t typically what I would call cheap for a regular serving in a cup (that’s two scoops), but these were pretty significant scoops, and I was thoroughly full by the time I’d made my way through the whole thing. Shakes and floats and sundaes etc. are all priced fairly. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
I’ll start off here by saying that there are abundant flavors here at Josh & John’s that range from classics to some new age fun stuff. Being a fan of the classics, I opted for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Colorado Cookie’s and Cream. Both were good, but neither was the best I’ve ever had of the respective flavor. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was, dare I say, not quite up to Baskin Robbin’s standard (it came down to the slightly overpowering chocolate chips and the slightly less flavorful cookie dough bits) and the Cookie’s and Cream lacked the big chunks of oreos that I’m a fan of. Either way, this was good stuff, and I’m sure the more exotic flavors are where J&J’s really shines. Single Star Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
If I’m being honest here probably not, but I have so much affection for Josh & John’s as a hometown organization that I’m going to say yes. I’m skeptical having watched Starbucks fail at this location, but I do hope that J&J’s stays nestled in my hometown neighborhood. Star Granted.

The flavor Malted Mazel Toff is simply the best! Amazing service with always friendly staff. We like to go when it’s raining outside and they give you double the punches on your card! Answer the trivia questions and they give you another punch! Try making any of your favorite flavors into a malt. Enjoy!

It’s one of the best ice cream spots in the Springs. I like that everything is homemade. But it’s expensive and not my favorite. I typically get cookies n cream when I get ice cream and theirs just isn’t my fave. I also didn’t care for the mint chip.

It’s simple, if you want Ice Cream in the Springs, this is the only place to go. The service is great, the selection and toppings are awesome. The kids cone is like $.93!!! I love the punch card idea, because if you are serious about your ice cream, then you don’t let weather dictate if you’re gonna eat it or not.

Yes the ice cream is good but you get the smallest scoop I have ever seen for 3 $ a scoop… Come on. Flavor should not mean rip off your customers.

While driving around looking for a parking spot we came across this sweet little ice cream shop & I told my husband to remember where it was so we could return for dessert after having our dinner.
I am so glad that we saw this place the ice cream is delicious we shared a butter pecan medium cup with hot fudge on top which complimented it perfectly. My children each got a child’s scoop in a cone and it was the perfect amount of ice cream and priced at $ 0.98 for under 12 year olds it makes it very affordable for families to visit this place and get a yummy treat.
We will definitely return if we ever find ourself in the area again.

The absolute best ice cream I’ve ever had. If you’ve never been, please do yourself a favor and go! I am a chocolate addict with lots of references and I have to say it’s the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had. Pair it with the mocha and try not to die of happiness

Handmade ice cream that tastes like heaven. I’ve had a few of their flavors including the coffee and the rocky road flavors. Can’t go wrong with any flavor, as the ice cream is soft, creamy and super delicious!
They also offer a punch card– depending on the day you visit you get different amounts of punch holes E.g. You get free ice cream when you reach 15 punch holes, and on days that is below 0 degrees you get all 15 punches, therefore free ice cream :) yay Colorado!
The staff is friendly most of the time. I like the location and the nice grassy area outside where you can go and sit with your kids or your pets. The inside is nice to hang out too, lots of tables and not too loud.
One of the only downsides is that it is a little bit pricy. It’s really good stuff but I can’t bring myself to go too often.

A quirky but delicious I’ve cream parlor. All hand made! Great waffle cones. Cinnamon pop tart is my favorite but also seasonal. A little pricy but you should consider quality. Of course McDonald’s is cheaper… You’re eating a mix of sugar, water, and artificial vanilla flavor.

Came to have some ice cream after dinner last night.
I was too full to even get a baby cone, but 3 people in our party were ready to tackle some. They got a kid’s cup of chocolate ice cream with sprinkles, a large vanilla waffle cone and a rocky road waffle cone.
Everyone was very happy with their ice-​cream it is not overly sweet like most ice creams and they do have a churner putting away behind the counter. I did not ask if that is all they use to make their treats, but it would be nice if they did. The ambiance is not much to be spoken of. This store used to house a Starbucks and everything down to the tables and chairs are still the old coffee house ones. Overall it’s a nice addition to our Rockrimmon area, especially since they close late at night (11pm on Sat-​Sun) vs. all other ice cream places and restaurants closing so early (around 9pm). So kudos to that…

I found out about John and Josh’s from message boards while I was researching our recent trip to Colorado Springs. I read so many great things about their ice cream that my husband and I just had to see what everyone was talking about, and it didn’t not disappoint! We went twice on our vacation, once at the downtown location and once here. This time I got the peanut butter cup and chocolate chip cookie dough flavors, which were addictively awesome. My husband got the mocha java jolt and was equally pleased with his choice. On top of the excellent ice cream the service was great as well!

Great ice cream. Great flavor choices. Good service. Would recommend to everyone !

Almond Joy is delightful! The only complaint I have is the prices… $ 7 for a milkshake seems a little steep. Even if it is a good milkshake.
