We stopped into this old-school ice cream shop and absolutely loved it--it feels like stepping back in time in the best way. The place has been around since the 70s, and you can really feel that classic charm the moment you walk in. From the vintage-style décor to the bright, fun atmosphere, it's got that nostalgic ice cream parlor vibe that's getting harder to find. The ice cream itself was fantastic--homemade and full of flavor, with a great variety to choose from. Everyone found something they loved. Finley went with a chocolate shake that hit the spot, Callum had a Rocky Road junior scoop, LaRue enjoyed the salted caramel, Emma went all in with a hot fudge sundae, and I had the blackberry cheesecake ice cream--which was incredible and definitely one I'd get again. Service was friendly and easygoing, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. It's not trying to be fancy--just a great, classic spot to grab a sweet treat and enjoy the experience. If you're in the area and want something fun, nostalgic, and genuinely good, this place is absolutely worth a stop. read more

I've been to the BJ's downtown before and had a good time so we stopped in here today for some tasty ice cream. It was around 5pm on a busy day but there was no wait. We were greeted immediately and took our time looking at the flavors to decide what we wanted. I got a single cup with chocolate cheesecake and dulce de leche ice cream. My friend got a milkshake with plain chocolate ice cream. The dulce de leche was so good! The caramel ribbons were delicious and it was so creamy. The chocolate cheesecake flavor was alright, it tasted a little fake, almost like it was sugar-free. My friend said the milkshake was good and that it had the texture of a Wendy's Frosty. The staff were friendly and chatty with each other. They seemed knowledgeable about their flavors and were happy to give out up to three free samples. I didn't see a bathroom, but the Vinnie's down the street has a public uncoded bathroom. I would definitely come back here just for the dulce de leche ice cream. It's worth a trip! read more

I came here a few days ago, and the ice cream was delicious. My only complaint was they only let you have two flavors at a time. I had specifically said I wanted three flavors, but the man said I couldn't get three scoops in a waffle cone, so I switched it to a sundae. They didnt offer three scoops in a bowl, so I agreed to four. After the guy was scooping the ice cream, he told me " you can only have two flavors." I was kind of thrown off by that, so I agreed. But now I know to order a two scoop and a one scoop separately when coming here. I guess I had just expected it to be like 31 flavors, letting each scoop be a different flavor. But regardless, it was delicious ice cream. read more

We've only tried the place on 101 in Florence. A while ago... maybe a year or more ago. Not again for me. The ice cream was old (most had too many ice crystals, though it may have been in the winter. The place just looked grubby all over like the owners lost interest. Even the windows were full of handprints and longtime smudges. The helpers behind the counter were polite and friendly but that's about all I can say about it. I have no idea why yelp keeps urging me to try it. I saw it come up 3-4 times, so I finally figure I'd better review it and be done. read more

A good selection of ice cream flavors to select from in various forms- cones, dish, shakes, splits and more! A fun place to stop with easy access as it is right on Hwy 101. read more

Went in today at 2pm from long drive on 101. There was a young man and 'girl' working. She was VERY RUDE, kept talking instantly to the young man she worked with. Finally after we ordered, she started to run our CC, messed it up without an apology, tried again and in frustration threw down the cc device, giving the young man a disgusted look and went into the side storage area. The ice cream was good, however. That 'girl' should be fired. read more

Easy to find. Tons of flavors to pick from. The servings larger than average so was worth the price. Two nice teenaged helped means both were very nice and full of energy. Great place to stop for a pick-me up! read more

See this place all over the coast and finally checked out a spot in Florence. Creamy ice cream with lots of novel and more basics flavors. We really liked our Coffee Cookie and S'mores. We tried the Chocolate Covered Banana too which was nice but would have been better if it's refridgerated rather than completely frozen. read more

B J's Ice Cream Parlor - a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, Oregon

We were craving some ice cream and were looking for a local shop. We saw this along the 101 and pulled over. The place was pretty busy when we pulled up so we thought it would be good. They have a lot of flavors to choose from, I got a scoop of the Lemon Chiffon and the S'mores flavor. Two scoops cost my $8.25! Really! I'd say that was way over priced, especially for a cup. If they are going to charge that much, maybe they should update the interior/exterior. The other thing I wasn't too fond of is that it wasn't the cleanest facility. I'd say that I wouldn't come back here. read more

My wife said it could be the best ice cream on earth...BUT THE PRICES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD! $5.50 for a single scoop in a cup. OUTRAGEOUS even in a "tourist" town...., read more

Just left BJ's ice cream on Highway 10 one. The staff is always so friendly and courteous. Period there was a young girl working behind the counter when I placed my order. She was working hard to make sure I was happy. I wish the people working for me worked as hard as her. read more

Great local ice cream. Lived the Jamaica Almond Fudge that had rum and toasted almonds. Great service from young workers

BJs ice Cream Parlor is what it is. Nothing spectacular, ice cream is mediocre, they have fudge, carmel corn, and saltwater taffy. It fits the need for a coastal town. Store is dirty and run down. But you got to get treats when on the coast and BJs does the job! read more

Basic ice cream store. Friendly service. Way way way overpriced. $7.00 for an ice cream cone?! That's not "inflation," it's price gouging. No. We will not return with prices like that. read more

Love this place! Such great ice cream at a great price. You also can pick out 3 salt water taffy's to sample for free!

Pricey but so dang good. Had a coconut flavor and salted caramel. Both of these were stellar. Their cash register died while we were there but we had cash so was no problem for us. read more

Got the huckleberry it was delicious. Not so much sorbet options but regular ice cream choices.

Blackberry cheesecake ice cream. OMG. I was planning on trying all the flavors but I can't get past this one.

Oh man, the ice cream here is amazing. Also the fudge is great. Some fudge is just too sweet and sugary but this was decadent. If you want to try a good flavor?? The Mint fudge was great and everyone in the family loved it. The ice cream of choice was Oregon trail. My family also tried bubblegum (had bits of bubble gum in it) and cotton candy (which I tried as well and was just as amazing). Staff was friendly as well. Me and my family will be back. read more

Imagine, generous scoops of rich, smooth and creamy dark chocolate ice cream, with rivers of silky fudge, bursting with streams of Oregon marionberry jam and laced with creeks of chopped roasted hazelnuts on a giant fresh and crispy cone. Now how can you ever top this? Add sprinkles or order it with the fresh baked chocolate covered waffle cone of course! It had been at least 4 years since my last indulgence from Florence's own BJ's and I am making a belated new Year's resolution to be here for an Oregon Trail trek at least 4 times this year! read more

B J's Ice Cream Parlor - Oregon Trail ice cream!  The best from BJs! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Florence, Oregon

We got here around 2:20 p.m (5/22/2020) the two working behind the counter did not even acknowledge us, there was no one else in the shop. I said, they will see us when other people come in... the male looked at me and continued playing with the ice cream behind the counter... Lo and behold about 2 minutes later people started coming in. The female asks the couple if she could help them. The lady points out what she already knew that we were there first... she's like "oh" like she didn't know. We let them go ahead because there were just the two of them and four of us. I'm giving this 2 starts because the ice cream was actually good (almost walked out). The crappy service was the shiftiest I've gotten in a long time. This is unfortunate because I've been here when it was packed and the service was great, I made my friend leave a good review. We left feeling great. Today? Today on our first outside venture? So uncalled for... (If the owner reads this, it's employees like these who will ruin someone's business quick because of their own stupidity, I hope they get better training) read more

The girl working yesterday did not seem like she was happy to be there. She had really dirty clothing on and didn't wear a mask. I wouldn't care about what somebody is wearing normally, but maybe you all should wear aprons or something when handling people's food especially when you're putting your arm deep into the ice cream bins. Yuck. read more

Server has repeatedly not worn a mask while serving us ice cream. When politely asked by my mother if they could please put one on, they started going on about how they aren't vaccinated either. Won't be returning to this business again. Wish they took public health & safety more seriously. read more

Yum!!! Ice Cream is superb! Salted caramel, blackberry and the one with the rum flavor were my top favorites! P.S.The guy who worked at the counter tonight at 9:45 pm Tuesday July 28th (so sorry, we didn't get your name) is a really nice person! You guys should promote him or give him a raise because he's gold!!! read more

Very generous ice cream portions. I like that they are open until 10 when we visited in April.

$7 for a junior waffle cone (2 small balls = 1 scoop) Eek! That's expensive in my book . I had Huckleberry which was creamy but had some ice chunks in it. The dipping cabinets do look like they needed defrosting a while back.. lots of ice on the sides so don't think they're keeping temperature well. The servers didn't wash hands first either before scooping.. just went from phone to scooping and holding my cone... no gloves. The shop needs some revamping to attract locals all year round..it looks tired but I'm sure the past 2 years have been difficult so I can empathize with small biz struggling. read more

Sooo good but ask for extra ice cream in the milkshake. Go for the double cone, it's definitely worth it!

Exactly what one might expect from an ice cream shop in a touristy area. It was crowded, the staff was great and knew how to handle it. Lots of options. read more

I came in with a group of 16. The girl behind the counter did not seem happy to serve us, but she did without a smile. lol... I got the coffee, caramel, crunch and it was good, but not great. there was so many different flavors to chose from and I wish I could have tried a couple to chose one I would have liked better, but I was second to last to order and the girl didnt seem very happy so I just went with what sounded good. hopefully if you're a smaller group you will get better service and get to try all the fun different flavors! read more

Its a good thing this is 4 hours away or I would be there every day. The ice cream is all made there and the flavors are different than you would find at other places....and really good! Someone mentioned the prices were a bit high but I found that the scoops are huge...like Rice Hill huge and the taste is awesome so I didn't mind! read more

Yum!! May be a bit on the dive type, but best ice-cream I've had since grandma threw out her ice cream maker! Tons of unique flavors.

The ice cream was delicious BUT having to listen to the uneducated anti-vaxxer who served our ice cream while unmasked, was not a pleasant experience. We are both older ladies. Both vaccinated & masked. We wanted to enjoy our ice cream, but server continously spouted uninformed opinions even tho we told him we were polio era survivors. I could finally take it no longer & we walked out. Too bad. We won't be back. read more

The lady who works here does not tie her hair back so when she is scooping ice cream her hair is dangling into the bucket. It made me sick so I tried the taffy. The Taffy was very old and hard. We went another time and same situation with the hair so we walked out. I do not recommend this place at all read more

Stopping by BJs Ice Cream Parlor is always a must when we're in Florence. It's our tradition plus they have great ice cream! I love that they have so many flavors to choose from. We had coconut, chocolate, mountain berry, and cotton candy on our most recent trip. And there are much more flavors!! read more

It's good but a lot on the sugary side. I wish they used real fruit. I do enjoy the vanilla though. Be kind to the workers there, they do not have a easy job. read more

Fantastic ice cream, absolutely worth the higher prices! The taffy is also delicious, well flavored.

We got the Oregon trail. My daughter got bubble gum and cotton candy. It was absolutely amazing. Not too sweet and really great texture. We also got several flavors of fudge and it was very tasty. We will be back! read more

We've been in town for 3 days and have included a trip to BJs everyday. Every flavor I have tried was outstanding and the staff at both locations we went to were great! The coconut crunch is my favorite! read more

The ice cream was incredible! My boys and I tried 3 different flavors between us and we all enjoyed them!
