The bridge tolls are currently removed on Sundays to encourage customers to visit businesses on Sanibel and Captiva Island. My motorcycle group road up there this past weekend. It was sad to see the shopping center that Joey's was a part of is now an empty lot. I don't know what the future will be for businesses like Joey's, but the island businesses that are still trying to make a go of it need our business to survive. Hopefully Joey's will someday return. read more

Was always the best! But sadly was destroyed in Hurricane Ian! Owners are hoping it will be back one day as restoring Sanibel Island is happening now. Dont look for it in 2024. read more

Amazing selection of ice cream flavors. We ended up getting the Exhausted Parent which had a combination of alcohol and espresso. Why, don't mind if I do! Since we're in Southern Florida, I had to get Key Lime, right? But when I asked for that flavor, she asked me how I want it. They offer it in so many different ways! So I told her to give me what she would order for herself and she gave me "Key Lime Pie in a Cup" which was awesome!!!! The kids are so "Vanilla": one ordered Vanilla and the other Cotton Candy. Whatever we ordered, we all enjoyed our ice creams very much. The giant map where we get to put a sticker on where we came from was fun to see. Parking is free because Joey's is located in a shopping center with its own large parking lot. read more

This sweet tooth sanctuary has it all! Whether you're craving a midday treat or an epic dessert, Joey's Custard offers an array of sugary snacks for the whole family. Ice cream addicts with food allergies are in luck. During our stay on Sanibel Island, we ventured into JC after dinner one night during the pandemic. Both staff and customers followed social distancing and mask mandates accordingly. The line felt a tad long but friendly staff gave everyone their full attention, offering samples and helping make that big decision. I went with a traditional sundae with espresso chip ice cream. My partner in crime tried a milkshake topped with candied pecans. Babylon at first bite! One of the best ice cream shoppes I've visited while living in Florida. A must visit while vacationing on Sanibel Island. Thankfully the island has many walking trails to help with the poundage influx! read more

We visited Joey's for a second time on our latest visit to Sanibel and it seems they've gotten even better! Lines were consistent but we always felt safe and socially distanced. Our party had a wide range of desserts including smoothies and ice cream, and everything tasted great. I especially loved the bourbon pecan flavor and thought it was also neat that they used edible pasta straws for their smoothies. They provided masks and sanitizer for those clients who needed it, which was also very thoughtful. Overall, a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! A must visit at Sanibel. read more

I'm always on a quest for dairy free ice cream wherever I am. I was so happy to hear that Joey's had a dairy free selection. When we arrived, I was super impressed with both the variety and the measures they take to avoid cross contamination with dairy - keeping it in a separate case! I landed on mocha chip and it was phenomenal! Alongside the ice cream, the atmosphere and the employees were also great! Everyone was so kind and we loved that they had games outside to play. Super fun place with delicious ice cream! read more

5+ stars!! Omg so good and HUGE portions! It was the perfect sweet treat after a fantastic day at the beach. I was really impressed with the quality. You can really taste the love put in :) I ordered pistachio ice cream with their signature vanilla custard and I couldn't get enough of it! The real flecks of vanilla bean were just beautiful to look at and even better to eat. Can not say enough good things. A must try! read more

Great dessert after dinner at one of the fine dining restaurants on the island. Has a very country and rustic charm to it. But you'll notice that a lot of that is very old. The restaurant itself could use an update. As it looks like it's just full of a ton of knickknacks. They have a map where people can put a pin for their hometown. Corkboard is completely destroyed from so many people putting in pins. Other areas of the restaurant we're kind of dusty. The outside is weather beaten and is not inviting to sit. We took out goodies and jumped in the car. But the ice cream and custard are good. Nice variety of standard flavors and unique ones. Kids and family enjoy. Worth it as there are only 2 places on the island for isle cream. read more

My 1800th review deserves to be Joey's Custard. I've been to Sanibel so many times and I can't believe this is the first time here. It's like being a little kid in a candy store. I love love love this place. There r so many frozen options for everyone. I picked the rum raisin which has a little bit of rum in it and it was so good and refreshing. But I couldn't make up my mind. It took forever. This is such a fun place to hang out too. I loved everything about it, and I will definitely make it a must stop when I'm back in Sanibel. read more

I tend to avoid ice cream because it upsets my stomach... but then I found ice cream worth being in pain over, and that was Joey's Custard. Oh my. The ice cream here is so freaking delicious and good and pure and lovely. My family returned here multiple times during our vacation, which we never tend to do because we like to try new places. I live across the country from Joey's and I still kept our free ice cream punch card because I know I will return one day. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was really cool to see Joey himself working and interacting with guests. And I was a big fan of the worship music! Overall, this place just rocks. It simply rocks. read more

A place like Sanibel needs a great place to grab a cool treat to take a break from the heat of the beach. Thankfully, on Tarpon Bay Rd there is a shop in the Bailey's shopping center that does just that. I am surprised I never found this spot, but we always went to an ice cream shop on the other end of Sanibel. With that closed and the heat intense, it was time to start a new tradition! I got the twisted vanilla and chocolate custard cone, while my fiancée got vanilla and key lime custard. All were rich and creamy and hit the spot on a hot summer day; I think the key lime was unique and very much worth getting another cone! We never got to try the ice cream flavors offered, including the exhausted parent flavor with bourbon, but they should be great to try if they do this well on custard! There's a reason this place averages 5 stars; it's that great for dessert! Try for yourself next time you're on Sanibel! read more

Stopped in here after some time on the beach when the kids wanted some ice cream. We pulled in and they were pretty busy, but keeping the line moving. The kids both did fun flavors (they had more than enough options to choose from) with sprinkles, whipped cream, and a cherry. I opted for something simple - Cookies and Cream milkshake. It was the perfect consistency and full of flavor and lots of Oreos in the shake. It was super creamy too! Hubby got a sundae and said the ice cream was awesome, creamy, and the sundae was delicious. We will stop in when we are back down that way again. Cute games and tables outside as well too to enjoy time with the family. read more

Best place for dessert in Sanibel! It was so good we had to stop by twice during our vacation. The frozen custard itself is so creamy and the flavor is amazing. I had the twist of key lime and vanilla which was just tart enough. The blends are definitely the highlight which are basically like Coldstone-style creations with your choice of custard flavor. I had the Calico which featured The Bubble Room chocolate cake and strawberries. The best part is they layer the toppings at the bottom and top of the cup, so you have yumminess throughout the whole experience. A must-see in Sanibel. We loved it and would recommend to anyone. COVID-19 and health friendly with masks, sanitizers, gloves, and mosquito spray outside the door. My advice - stop by after a bike ride so you don't taste the guilt of calories lol. read more

This spot was recommended by a local and a must-stop while on Sanibel Island. They have a huge selection of custard and ice cream options, and fun combinations unique only to Joey's. Something that came highly recommended was the layered Sunday with Sanibel's own "orange crunch cake" and vanilla custard. I tried the key lime custard & scoop of the black cherry ice cream - both were perfect flavors and a great combo! P.S. they're closed Sunday's so plan accordingly. read more

My kids visited Florida on vacation this past week. We went to a lot of really cool places and ate a lot of great food and desserts. BUT THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. We generally have a rule that we don't visit the same establishment while on vacation so we can try everything out but we went here 3 times and the kids wanted to go twice in one day but I had to put my foot down. The ice cream is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Delicious, reasonable portions, loaded with whatever goodness you order (cookie monster for example had so many delicious cookies in it), friendly and efficient service and cool seating area. Prices were reasonable for a tourist area. There are so many flavors to choose from it is very difficult - they have a fantastic selection. They make waffle sundaes too which were to die for (and they are served on a free frisbee). Honestly this was our favorite establishment our entire trip throughout Florida. This is a must stop! Easy parking! read more

One of my favorite ice cream spots on earth!! The creamiest custard and the flavors are crazy good. After sample about 8 ( thank y'all for letting me taste it ALL) landed on the tropical storm custard. It tasted like cherry, orange, creamy summer goodness. I'd drive back just for this cone. read more

Seriously, 3 days on Sanibel island and we were here every single day. Joey's is located in the same plaza as Bailey's making it easy to get the basics you may need and dessert. So Joey has a partnership with The Bubble Room on Captiva Island and brings their cakes back to layer with the custard. Delicious. I saw that they offered The Scotch Bonnet with the Orange Cake from The Bubble Room. Sold. We headed over. It was sooooo worth it. In face we went back for it and tried all the custards lasted with the cakes they had to offer. Oh, the Limelo custard, even though we mispronounced it each time, was perfect. Lime and Tangelo. Refreshing, sweet, subtle. Keep that coming! read more

I went here with my family (7 people) while on vacation in Captiva. We called ahead to ask if they had dairy free items on the menu and Joey himself picked up the phone to assure us they had sorbet, Italian ice, and a vegan flavor as well as gluten free cones. There were plenty of options for everyone in our party, and everyone was happy we made the drive! The workers were friendly and told me that they were making a special-batch vegan ice cream the next day and we should come back to try it! I had the vegan vanilla chip ice cream and it was delicious! 5 stars for a great ice cream spot with choices for everyone! read more

If you're thinking about visiting, there's nothing to think about. Don't walk or bike over. Run or drive. This place has some legit custard. In an attempt to kill time and wait for traffic to die down, we stopped at Joey's and it was probably one of the best decisions we made while on Sanibel. The folks are friendly and the custard is delicious. I had the lemon custard, which I had never had. It was creamy and, you guessed it, lemony. It was so good I texted a friend and she basically cursed me for talking about it because it awoke a craving in her. Haha read more

Our first visit to Joey's and wow. What a huge variety of ice creams, custards, waffles etc. Joey has just a couple of large tables inside and a comfy couch inside and several tables outside on the covered porch. The four of us ordered different ice creams and custards and all flavors were very good. They even offer two different gluten free cones to choose from. My sister said the gluten free cone was really good. This is definitely a place we will return to and recommend you to visit too. read more

Visited this ice cream shop in August during off season. There was one guy in the shop but he was really patient and let us try so many flavors. I opted for the banana fosters in a kids size because I didn't want that much but he gave a generous scoop. The ice cream was creamy and had great flavor. I can see why this is one of the most popular ice cream locations on sanibel. They offer check in deal of $2 off $10 and have a different deal on each day of the week. read more
