We have stayed at the Hyatt down the street for the last 4 years and I am sad to say have never tried Joe's until this last trip. We tried the brownie sundae which is loaded with brownie bits, hot fudge and a soft serve ice cream to die for. For my taste I would have liked less brownie and... More

There's nothing better to ending a day on a high note than hitting up Joe's at the end of the day, or in the middle of the day either. Finding Italian ice is really hard and finding a Mom+Pop shop that has it is even harder. Flat out, they're right outside of the Anaheim Resort and are staffed with some... More

We went there each of the three nights we stayed in Anaheim. We had the Italian ice and the "Joe-latti" which is Italian ice with ice cream. Tried different flavors and each was delicious. Wide selection of flavors to choose from, but my favorite was the "Bada Bing" cherry.

I've since moved out of the OC two years ago, but let me tell you- nothing stops me from a side venture over to Joe's! Tell me a Handmade Ice cream Sandwich isn't worth dying for. They made their own Italian Ice from water flown out from Phily! The ice cream has been partnered with Dryers and if you have... More

We saw this place near our hotel and there was a long line so we decided to try it. My daughter liked the soft-serve chocolate ice cream and my husband and I tried the Italian Ice plus soft -serve strawberry and it was sooooo yummy! We'll be back!!!

Food was just okay. Noise was unbearable. Loud music made it impossible to have a conversation. For us, this is not a redo.

Very good ice creams and shakes, fast service so even if you see a long line, it goes fast and before you even decide, it's your turn.

Maybe we are misisng the point but even though this was a new experience we really didn't think it was all that great? We were recommended to try the Joe-Latte and although the soft serve ice cream was very nice we found the 'Italian ice' (pretty much like sorbet for the UK visitor) was far too sweet and gave us...
