Passed the fancy ice cream joint for this local hole in the wall because they didn't have coffee, and Sugar Daddy's did. Good ice cream and affordable.

We were in the area for spring training baseball and came to John’s Pass on the recommendation of a local friend. We had just finished eating dinner on the dock at Caddy’s and came looking for ice cream… and this place did not disappoint! We love supporting local and independent ice cream places like this especially when the product is so good. I got a waffle cone with Captain Butterscotch and my wife got one of their chocolate ice creams - both were very good. And it’s just fun to eat ice cream on the boardwalk! Definitely recommend!

This place has amazing ice cream. My favorite one is the Keylime pie! I don't even like ice cream like that, and I came back for another cone an hour later. Makes me feel like I never wanna eat store-bought ice cream ever again. Check this place out!

Great ice cream, great people. Got two scoops to share for just $5 and was almost more than we could finish. We finished anyways because it was so good.

Soooooo yum! Girls working were so super sweet! The key lime cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake were definitely in my top 3! They had some super unique flavors, and they weren’t hesitant to offer samples. Even when customers came in, staff stayed engaged and helpful to ALL customers. This attentiveness in such young staff was super impressive 14Apr22 6-close staff? Wonderful place. Will definitely visit if I’m ever in town again. Also couldn’t help but to love the cute cow decor!

Children took off before I could take a picture of the ice cream. They had ZERO complaints and it was gone in no time.

The flavors are unique and homemade, and I really loved the cherry flavor. The owner is really nice. The price is affordable. You can sit right outside of the store at a picnic bench just for customers and by the water.

Pretty good ice cream! I wouldn’t choose this over kilwins but If kilwins is packed, it’s worth it to go to for sure!
