CJ’s Italian Ice & Custard

delicious treats, you would think that getting the combo of italian ice and custard would be the best, but the flavors end up mixing together and the custard smooshes into the italian ice. Personally i like eating them separately. So bring a date, each of you get 1 itialian ice and the other get the custard and share. the next dilemma is which yummy flavor to get. they also have a frequent buyer card, score!

Love the Italian ice and custard is amazing. Great staff who remember us!!!

Our group of four had a nice after dinner treat at this great ice cream shop. Great variety of flavors and types, quality ingredients and helpful service. What more could anyone want?

So, I’m Vegas on my 50^th Birthday retreat, and while having dinner at local friends house, she says, «okay Pat, good to see you, gotta take my son to Basketball practice, didn’t have time to make you dessert.» Ain’t that about nothing!!! Grrrrr. LOL
Did that stop Pat? Nope. Pat needed dessert… so as I was driving down Durango, I saw two words «Ice» and «Custard».
So I pulled over and decided to check out the place on Unilocal,and up pops a message from Unilocal.«Congratulations, you get 10% off». Word? That, coupled with the fact that the reviews were excellent — is all a brotha needed to know.
I told the young lady (cute, too) that I was in town for the week for my 50^th Birthday and she was like «yeah, right. you’re not 50». I was like, «do you need to see ID?» She just chuckled and then glared at me. So I pulled out my AARP card and said, «do I get an AARP discount here?» and she was like «OMG…well no… but I’ll see what I can do for you».
Not gonna tell you what she did, but the Tangerine and Vanilla Gelati was awesome!!!
No matter what time of year ya’ll, check out CJ’s when you’re on that side of town in Vegas!

My little family has been on a hunt for good Italian ice since our first visit to Confetti in Costa Mesa. I’m not sure what it was that made us addicted, but who can say no to good dessert.
In the past, I never thought to locate an Italian ice/​custard spot in Vegas, so I wasn’t sure if they even had a decent spot until I came across CJ’s.
CJ’s is pretty deep in so driving there was an effort. During our drive there, I kept telling myself, this better be worth my drive out here because we could’ve tried any spot on The Strip. Thank goodness CJ’s didn’t disappoint us!
I walked up to the counter & asked how many different custard flavors were available and the gentleman said «chocolate & vanilla»…I was sad because I was expecting more selections, but I asked to taste the vanilla just for the consistency so I can compare it to Confetti & Rita. It definitely beats Rita on so many level!
I asked when they would have the cheesecake flavor custard available and he says «I can make it for you right now!» That little statement just put a big smile on my face. It was delicious!
My son had the apple/​orange ice with chocolate custard & he enjoyed every bite of it. We will definitely come back again when we visit Vegas.

Not a fan of the Italian Ice at all, and I grew up on REAL Italian Ice…
I haven’t tried their custard, maybe that’s what everyone goes there for… I might try them again, but that first time was rough. Really gross.

Love love this place!!! Always friendly service and everything tastes amazing. My favorite is the gelati with mango sorbet topped with chamoy and tajin. My family and I can’t stop coming back hehe. Definitely a must try=)

I have been here at least twice and both times I enjoyed it. The Baby Ruth gelato (based off the candy bar) is probably one of my favorite gelato flavors of all time. It is easy to get in and out of there and there is usually a steady stream of people coming and going ensuring a fresh turnover. Some of these gelato places have an issue of the gelato tasting like the freezer. Thankfully that is not an issue here and the flavor profiles have been consistently good.

Cherry ice with Vanilla custard is amazing!!! A must try! All the workers are extrememly nice and helpful. Especially Bailey. I also met the owner once. He is very kind!

First time here. I’m pretty happy with the flavor and consistency of the custard, as I pretty much consider Luv It’s the standard. I got a custard cannoli, and didn’t realize the size. It’s easily shareable. We used our 10% off check in deal as well. This was an all around good dessert stop. We’ll go again.

This place is alright. I tried the chocolate custard. It’s not amazing to me but it’s still good. I tastes too much like butter. Only marking off a star due to dirty tables. It only takes a few seconds to clean, especially when there’s no customers waiting to order.

Gelati’s are a must try here. Custard, Italian ice and more custard all swirled together in a cup. Vanilla or chocolate custard is available, as well as 12 or so different ice flavors. Samples are also given if you can’t make up your mind. The most popular flavors are lemon, cherry, blue raspberry and rootbeer.
I had mine with vanilla custard and cotton candy ice. It was sweet, creamy and delicious. I got a small, and it was definitely filling. Check out the freezers, they have many different custard flavors for you to take home. They also have cakes too. Make sure to get a stamp card, after 5 purchases, the 6^th is free. The last time I was in I forgot my stamp card, so the girl working the counter gave me a new one and said when I found the other one we could just combine them, sweet!

Pro:
Yum yum yum. I love their Captain America gelati. It’s basically the only thing I get here. It reminds me of the bomb pops you get from the ice cream man. They also have a stamp card and I’ve already got enough for a free one. Yay!
Con:
The service is great but the layout is awkward. Right when you step in the Italian ice is already staring at you. It’s a bit claustrophobic when they’ve got a line.

The best! Came here after my sons soccer practice because it was right acroos the street and over 100 degrees. I got a waffle bowel with almost all the toppings lol. The guy gave them to me in a lil cup which was nice so I got more then if he would have topped me off. My son got the ice with vanilla ice cream and it was sooo good. I would really recommend it.

Hands down one of the best spots in town if you’re craving some sweets. The custard they have here is simply amazing, they must have 20 + flavor of the custard. Then the Italian ice just speaks for itself, every time it go in I must try 10 samples. Would recommend this place to everyone ! Especially during the summer!!!

I always wanted to try this place. Finally i did !
It is located the way i am going to work.
I tried different flavors and it was so good.
I bought big case of pistachio custard ice cream the way came back home.
I will visit again soon!

Great selection of flavors and they can customize flavors too. Awesome service and nice clean atmosphere. It’s right across Desert Breeze Park.

I cannot stress enough that CJ’s makes the BEST banana split ever! I love how creamy their custard is on its own and when paired with all that makes a banana split, it goes from creamy to dreamy!
It’s not just the rich flavor that keeps me coming back here, its honestly their staff. They are so sweet and friendly, they remember your face and even your order if you’re a regular. Plus the price ain’t so bad either.

Recently fell in love with Italian ice at another chain in the area, decided to see how CJ’s compares– cool to see that they offer grab and go options, and also have additional desserts in the form of ice cream sandwiches and customization options like specialized toppings and waffle bowls.
Black cherry and chocolate ices are solid but I went with my favorite standby, root beer, which always tastes perfect when topped with custard. Here, they pack the cup with ice then top it with a tower of custard– a bit too much for my preferences, but good value at under $ 5 for a regular which was three servings for me.
I prefer a smaller ratio of custard to my ice, but the custard here (vanilla) also had a weird metallic aftertaste that I wasn’t fond of. Not sure if it’s specific to the vanilla, something to do with the ice-​and-​custard flavors playing off of on another, or perhaps an issue with the machinery, but I’ll be by to try again.

Something different!
So I had seen a truck driving around town that had CJ custard on it and wasn’t really sure what I was looking at. So I did some Unilocaling slash googling around and found the store.
So I’ve tried yoghurt, ice cream and slushie kinda drinks and snacks, so frozen custard was a nice little change.
I grabbed a chocolate custard and lime ice for my first go around, as was the recommendation from the gentleman working there. Hey guess what it was tasty as hell!!!
I for sure will becoming back here, service was great with a nice product.
They also cater which maybe something that will be in my future
