    Joy ice cream was at a recent event that I attended in Wauwatosa. I can't wait to go visit their store judging by the sweet ice cream drinks that we had there. A north Avenue in the heart of Wauwatosa ,Joy ice cream is a place to check out while you're there. The service was fantastic. Do yourself a favor and go grab yourself some ice cream!

    I've been wanting to try Joy Ice Cream for the longest. It's a very nice place and has a nice amount of seating outside but none inside. They do get very busy so be mindful of that. They do indoor or outdoor serving. The workers looked at me funny (as did the cashier when I was ordering) when I was inside and didn't realize that they were only taking orders from outside (there was a sign I just missed it oops). Paid $12 + tip for a cone and a 1 scoop dish. I had the blueberry cheesecake (I love anything + cheesecake) and I honestly was not much of a fan. The ice cream itself tasted like milk, no sugar or anything and I could not taste the blueberry. The cheesecake however was good and there was a good amount.

    We were looking for an ice cream treat to bring my nieces to and we realized Joy was just a few miles away from Firefly Grove Park. They had quite the variety of flavors for us to choose from, some classics I recognized from Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream too. I got two scoops in a cup - one of Zanzimint and the other with Superhuman. Some other orders in our group was a root beer float, more scoops, and some shakes. While they had plenty of seating, I wish there were more spots with shade for those particularly hot summer days!

    I really had high hopes for this place and wanted this to be special for my daughter's birthday. Unfortunately, it did not hold up on a 10 minute ride! In air-conditioning! Especially for the high-end price for chocolate shoppe ice cream for a tiny 6 inch cake that I thought was going to be mostly ice cream but it was mostly cake! Very disappointed and wish I had gone to Dairy Queen. Lesson learned it's a lot of marshmallow fluff a lot of chocolate cake and some kind of soft, white fluffy marshmallow topping under the cherries, which did not hold up at all, and it was drooping down the sides. $38.23!!!$5 was for sugar numbers that are not even candles!

    We love joy. This place is not only an ice cream but also a community hub. Always fun to visit with my son and meet up with friends.

    Absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious. If I could eat here every single day I would. Not only is the ice cream super good it's also adorable inside and out, including the bathroom with ice cream tiling!! The staff were sweet and accommodating. I got the blueberry cheesecake and it was great, I'm excited to try different flavors. Oh and they sell little doggy ice cream sandwiches which my dog (Crabcake) throughly enjoyed.

    I drive by this place and fell in love. It's a newer shop, 2023 opening, but has the charm and character of an older ice cream place. Every order you make is a good one. They seem to have a rotating array of options. Service was good, it was a couple of teenagers who were speedy with the orders. Again, I recommend and think everyone should stop by Joy Ice Cream once in their life.

    I had to come here to try Lucy Bakes' collab with Joy and it was worth it! The staff was great here and spent time making the treat. There was marshmallow cream on top followed with a mix of red velvet cake & cookies and cream ice cream and at the bottom white chocolate. The shamrock shake was delicious and cute with lucky charms on top. I found out they have ice cream flights for $9 that comes with 4 single scoops, and I plan to come back for that! It's small inside but looks like plenty of outdoor seating. I get why it's called Joy ice cream because I definitely left happy!

    Getting ice cream should feel special & aptly named Joy delivers on neighborhood vibes, tasty ice cream, excellent service, and fun outdoor space.

    We absolutely love Joy Ice Cream! The owner does so many creative events and has so much unique ideas for different menu items, there is always something fun and new going on at Joy! It is the perfect place to spend an evening, the staff are so friendly and the vibe is so welcoming. 10/10 would recommend Joy to anyone in the area!

    They have a large selection of beverages for you to enjoy!

    I was invited here by Yelp but I missed the event so I ventured out on my own on a sunny day to see what was up. I was greeted by a super friendly worker who served up the best vanilla bean Ice cream in a homemade waffle cone (that was to die for and I don't even like waffles)! We talked briefly but I was definitely enchanted by the service and the food. The shop itself is small and so cute that it just invites you to sit for a while and forget about your day. I wanted to stay there and dawdle. I wanted to dream about lazy days on the beach, skateboarders, and sunny romps in the sand. Was it the ice cream or was I under a spell? Hmmmm? I'll never know but I definitely felt the "joy" of the spirit of the place. The server was joyful. The ice cream made me joyful. The location exudes joy! The waffle cone made me giggle with joy! It's a happy, ice cream social place where you'll experience JOY! Drop over! Take a friend. Leave your cares behind. Everybody needs a little joy in their life -- why not have a little ice cream in a homemade waffle cone too!!

    7/12/25 flavors... they rotate throughout the week.

    I may be biased b/c I can walk here from my house... but this place is a real delight! The staff is wonderful and efficient, rotating flavors, and a welcoming environment. I love having Joy in our little neighborhood!

    Such a cute little ice cream shop! This is definitely a gem of a dessert joint in Wauwatosa. Perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy a delicious treat. Family friendly and a must-visit in Tosa! Friendly service! Local charm!

    Love that they have 3 vegan flavors on hand. I've had the vanilla and the cherry so far. Delicious! Even my dog gets a non vegan scoop!

Inside there is bar seating enough for 6 people, and there are three tables on the patio as well. There was a little bit of a wait on food, but it did come out hot, and service was friendly. I started with the Carrot Cake shake, which was SO GOOD! If you are a fan of carrot cake, this is a MUST! It was nice and thick, but not so thick that you couldn't drink it with a straw. Next, I had the Cauliflower Bites and Superbad burger. The Cauliflower was nicely breaded, and tender yet firm. The Superbad is perfect for anyone looking for a little spice to their burger, and yet isn't too powerful. My friend ordered the Mozz Sticks, and we admittedly were pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were. The "cheese" was super smooth and melty, while the outside coating was crispy and held it all together beautifully. The waffles fries (which came as part of my "combo") were large, crisp and well seasoned. I don't generally visit places like Twisted Plants, but I thought it was fantastic. A nice spot to try out plant based choices.

The cauliflower bites were good, but the pizza was the star of the show. The burgers, just not our first choice for a burger. Not bad though. The staff was nice. Helpful. The facility was clean. The decor is fun.

I had the pleasure to see the venue in action at Yelp Elite Holiday Party. The menu included charcuterie, pizza, ice cream, mulled wine, and glitter bombs. Now, before you think none of that sounds amazing stop and pause. The charcuterie had some of the most amazing cheeses I've tasted in a while and the portions were very generous. I actually thought that was the party food for the night and was quite satisfied with my little serving when I noticed pizza was being served. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I tried the sausage and the pepperoni with jalapenos. I usually don't like pepperoni. This was fabulous! It had a job of sweetness to it and the tiny pepperonis weren't bitter and overpowering. The jalapenos added just a little punch and the slice was perfectly balanced. I truly enjoyed it and I haven't enjoyed pizza since college back in the 1980's! We were treated to a cotton candy glitter puff to drop in our warm mulled wine. I'm adventurous so I tried it! I enjoyed the beverage but I'm not sure if the cotton candy added anything to the drink. It was super sweet but I LOVE super sweet wine so that was fine by me! The fact that the beverage was warm made it perfect in my opinion. The glitter bomb part -- I'm not so are about. It was something to do. I don't think I understood the instructions or maybe I didn't understand what was supposed to happen. I did, however, love the drink. I think this is one of the most charming venues in town. It's available for rental and the business owners can cater your event. We got a taste of what they can do so I can only imagine what's available when they roll out the carpet for their customers. Drop in access check this spot out. It's charming and cozy. Bring a few of your BFFs -- order the mulled wine and pepperoni pizza. Stay for the ice cream. Laugh, talk, take pictures and create memories at Everyone's Table in West Allis.
