The ice cream wasn't very good. It seemed overpriced for the quality of the ice cream. Our server also had dirty hands. However, he was very nice. read more

I got a a junior scoop of the bing cherry. I give the ice cream flavor an A+, it was delicious. I'm dinging the place for other reasons such as: ice blocks in my ice cream, extremely small portion for the price, they didn't ask if I wanted a cup or regular cone (they just came me a cup :(), and place needs a lot of upkeep. A deep clean and small touch ups here and there would do wonders for this place. read more

Ice cream and taffy are great and the atmosphere is nice but the customer service needs major improvement! Staff were incredibly rude.

I've been here a few times and have always had a good experience. The ice cream is fantastic and the workers are really friendly. There's usually not too long of a line even on weekends, and you can get your ice cream and walk down the street and window shop. There isn't any seating inside, but you can go out on the front porch and sit there to eat. It can be sticky from people spilling ice cream so I usually just take it and go for a walk instead. They don't have any bathrooms here, but there is a public bathroom down the street that is pretty clean. I've gotten the salted caramel ice cream a few times and it's always a hit for me. It's the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I've also tried their brownie ice cream and that was good too. read more

Food: Ice cream was good so was the salt water taffy I got blue moon and cotton candy I would recommend the blue moon was better than the cotton candy Service: The service was ok the two people working there were yapping non stop and they were also laughing and it made me feel like they didn't care about the customers Ambiance: It has the ambiance of any other ice cream shop read more

A lot of different flavors to choose from. I ended up ordering a s'mores milkshake, and they do not skimp on the ice cream in the milkshakes! It was so thick I wish I had said yes when the employee offered me a spoon! If I am in the area again, I will stop by. read more

Taffy is definitely not fresh. Super old, stale, and too hard to chew. Staff was friendly enough. Atmosphere inside not very inviting. Caramel corn isn't fresh either...pre-packaged for $7.50/bag. Would not recommend. read more

The service is rushed and waiters feel stressed and unpleasant. Shame as the ice cream is good. Suggestion to the owner - the clientele would be better served by having 1. A list of flavors (vs having to scramble in between others guests to read the flavors one by one) that everybody can see while waiting on line 2. The two ice cream counters should be side by side 3. You could have a physical line to help people figure out the flow vs having the wait staff scream at customers. We 're on vacation and are willing to part with our money but ask for a pleasant, relaxing experience. read more

Right in downtown Florence BJ's Ice Cream Parlor serves rich and creamy ice cream with great flavors! The server was friendly and outgoing. If your not feeling ice cream they also have fudge and taffy. This ice cream parlor also has cool novelty vintage displays of signs, soda, bottles, decorative trays. read more

Friendly staff. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. While waiting for our spot at Mo's, I got the Oregan Trail; after lunch, I got the Bing Cherry. Their ice cream is flavorful, creamy, and not overly sweet--a sweet spot for good ice cream and salt water taffy, and fudge. read more

By far some of the best ice cream I have had. They make it out of local fresh ingredients. Since we are from So Cal we do not get a lot of berries. So any find with fresh berries is a treat for us. I got a quadruple stack with Oregon Trail, Bing Cherry, Huckleberry and Cascade Mountain Blackberry. I couldn't decide which to get so I got ALL four and each was a perfect HIT! I would get each again. read more

Bj's is a classic candy and ice cream parlor. But it's honestly overpriced for the quality. This location is run down.. in need of renovation asap. But it's your only option in the area so it'll have to do. read more

How many places can I go in for a treat & come out with a purse?!? Pleasant surprise. Littles loved picking out lots of salt water taffy. Husband enjoyed the kahlua crunch ice cream - So delicious! I'm normally a chocolate gal, but that was sweet satisfaction. Middle boy got some peanut butter fudge. I'm assuming it was delicious. He devoured it before I could collect taxes from him. When we got there the line was out the door, but with 2 gals it went quick. Just enough time to figure out what all 4 littles want & start to order. read more

Service was friendly enough, but despite (or maybe because of) the wide variety of flavors to choose from the flavors were rather bland (at least the Kaluah Crunch and the Mint Chip. A bit disappointing. Nice location near the end of Bay Street though! read more

B J's Ice Cream is delicious and I love having 48 flavor options. You can have ice cream cones, cups, or milkshakes. I had the Lemon Chiffon Waffle Cone and it was perfect. The staff were friendly and took great care of us. I definitely recommend you eat ice cream here. Family friendly and affordable handmade delicious treats.​ read more

This place is *filthy*. It looks like the floors, walls and everything hasn't been properly cleaned in ages. I wouldn't go back.

B J's is ice cream done right. Located inconspicuously at the end of Bay St. this little ice cream parlor is the spot for a sweet treat in Florence. Now let me tell you... if you like taffy... You must visit B J's. I'm not a big taffy person, but even I was amazed by the huge variety of taffy that they have. It had to be at least 100 different flavors. As for the ice cream. They have some classic flavors, like vanilla and rocky road, but also some unique local tastes like Oregon Cherry and my choice, the Oregon Trail (which had swirled Marionberry). I was not disappointed. My picture is a single scoop sugar cone. Generous portions. Great flavor. Sweet tooth satisfied. read more

Just picture me having checked in before we even went to dinner to find out how late they were gonna be open. 10 o'clock? Whoohoo! I will eat a sensible dinner and then have ice cream. I'm on vacation - what the hell! I had already read about their ice cream fame in a flyer and was all primed for some amazing ice cream. Some sappy story about generations taking over from generations...as long as it's good ice cream, I don't care if you showed up yesterday. Okay, back to my post-dinner visit.....now you know I want my ice cream badly when we enter RIGHT after a church van full of tourists who are placing like 400 orders to one poor girl who's sticking out the Thursday night shift (there were TWO servers when I checked earlier but I guess they thought it was gonna be a slow night so, clearly, they'd let the guy go early - BIG mistake), and I just waited patiently. Even after the NEXT family of tourists cut in front of me and ordered another 5 cones...Patiently, I waited. FINALLY it was my turn, and I ordered a junior half butter brickle and half bittersweet chocolate. Where in the world can you still get butter brickle? Anyway, the first bite was nothing less than amazing. You can tell right away it's sweet cream ice cream. So creamy! The bittersweet chocolate was also good - not sure what was bittersweet about it except that in moments it would be gone. Seriously, a must-have when you visit the coast. C'mon, splurge a little. You're on vacation (just don't cut in front of me if you know what's good for you). read more

NOT HAVE AGAIN: the rocky road ice cream had whole almonds! But there were only two in my scoop. The ice cream seemed to not be very chocolatey. Also, it looked like lots of the tubs of ice cream had melted somewhat and then refrozen. Not impressed. read more

Really yummy flavors, lots of options and huge portions. The staff was nice - I fell at outside and was bleeding and the young man gave me ice and allowed me to use the sink in the back to wash up!! The taffy options are endless! The hours are great for summer time! I would recommend. read more

Beware if you go to order "double scoop" you may want share it with your sweetie. The variety of ice creams was sufficient for all tastes. Lots of salt water taffy choices for those with a sweet tooth. When back in Florence will stop back in for ice cream and salt water taffy. read more

You could notice easily that the ice cream was hand-made. It was not any ol ice cream place, it was crafted for my desire. Think of a nice place with welcoming staff and unlimited pleasures of sweets. My taste buds are blown out of this world! Like how Jessie, James and Meowth (Team Rocket) are blown away. The staff was exceptional but the system of how you order is a bit unusual. There is no line, you just walk up and order. The system could use some work but I do feel very welcomed. Bless! read more

Soooooo goood! The salted caramel was ridiculous. Also I got coconut ice cream. It was amazing. Also had a waffle cone. ! So good

Love the fact that they have later hours than most of the stores in Old Town. It is a cute little shop, the ice cream is always great, but I am not overly impressed with the salt water taffy, and also they didn't seem to offer to many options in the sizing of bags of caramel corn. We ended up getting the one size...which was small...which seemed like a personal size to my guy. I am sure I will be back at some point, but just not at the top of my list. read more

The BJ's on 101 has a pungent smell of Pinesol or some cleaning agent. Takes the joy right out of going for an ice cream

This is such an adorable little ice cream shop!! The guy working (Kyle) was exceptionally patient and kind to all the customers who wanted to sample flavors. Even on a dreary Oregon day, this is a great place to stop and eat some ice cream while enjoying the view of the bay. read more

Excellent! We stopped here twice on our family vacation this year and had great customer service and yummy ice cream both times. I had chocolate peanut butter cup the first time and chocolate cheesecake the second time, both in sugar cones. They give you a very generous single serving, with 2 good sized scoops. The second visit, my dad bought some chocolate fudge with walnuts to bring home and it was mouth watering. Very nice friendly young servers. read more

It's all about the salted caramel sundae flavor here. ALL ABOUT IT! The coconut crunch is really good too. The gentle lad at the counter was very nice and let us try oodles of flavors. He gave us recommendations of his favorites and overall was just a very pleasant experience. I've had slightly better ice cream before, but this was really pretty good, darn tootin' good I'd say. Would I go back? I don't know - is delicious, reasonably priced ice cream something YOU would experience again? I think we know our answer. read more

Great customer service and the ice cream was delicious. My daughter had a scoop of grasshopper and I had one of coconut crunch. We both kept saying how delicious it was with each bite! read more

There may be no place better than to have a relaxing ice cream than BJ's in Old Town Florence. It's great after some chowder from Mo's and it's right across the street! Inside it has an old soda fountain type feel, which fits in well with the ambiance that Old Town Florence exudes. They sell all types of ice cream, floats, malts, even salt water taffy. They have benches along their deck to lazily eat your dripping ice cream if it's a hot day outside also. They do have another location someplace else, but I feel that this is the best place to get a feel for Florence (my favorite town on the Oregon coast). The ice cream is pretty good too! read more

BJ's Ice Cream Parlor has been a stop on the coast since I was a kid. Now I take my son there. Sometimes we have service from very friendly and attentive people, and sometimes its teenagers who are more worried about socializing than serving ice cream and cutting fudge. Today we went and they were busy, probably given the warm(er) whether at the coast than inland and the woman working was alone but in a good mood, quick, and helpful. The ice cream is always mediocre, but that does not matter to the kids. We will go back, like we always do. read more

Great variety of flavors and a perfect location. Homemade ice cream is hard to find in this area and they are doing it right! Very friendly staff. read more

Love coming here every time I go to Florence. It's been a family tradition since I was little. The ice cream is creamy and they have awesome flavors like bubblegum with chunks of gum in it! No one does that anymore, but BJs does! read more

Rich and creamy, this handcrafted ice cream is phenomenal. Try the Butterbrickle or Coconut Crunch - or both - they go great together! There is also a plethora of homemade butterfudge including Almond Joy, Kahlua Fudge, and Rocky Road. We didn't get to sample it but it all looked fantastic. If you're in Florence, don't pass up BJ's! read more
