Pure Joy Ice Cream was so necessary on a hot July day…read more This simple, small shop was located across from Basin Spring Park in Eureka Springs, AR. Metered street and lot parking were within a brisk albeit slight uphill walk for us on 7.23.2025. Because our dog was not allowed inside, I trusted my two pre-teens to order with cash. My daughters said the employee was very nice... and fast too! The flavors were just like the name - Pure Joy! They offer items such as Rosemary Peach Ice Cream, Pawpaw Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Pawpaw Lime Sorbet, Sumac Lemonade, Ozark Eggnog, and Ripe Persimmon Sorbet. My daughters settled for Strawberry Lavender Sorbet and I think Blueberry Buttermilk Ice Cream. I remembered it being a little on the pricey side, then after viewing their Insta page I realized it's probably because the owners travel to Mexico to pick some of their own ingredients.

Great location! Great design!…read moreBut the best part??? Some of THE MOST UNIQUE ice cream flavors you will ever try! Oh wait, have you have rosemary ice cream with a peach compote swirl? Maybe... a made-from-scratch bourbon caramel mixed into a dark stout ice cream? Orrrrr - a berried lemonade sorbet made black by activated charcoal??? Then you haven't lived!! (J/k... but seriously... you should try it!!) This is Pure Joy's 2nd location. They're still working on the inside as of Oct 2025, so more updates to be enjoyed! But the ICE CREAM?? That's here to stay! And if you'd like to hear a very fun story, ask how they source their vanilla pods from a farm in Mexico, and NOT from a woman named Esperanza!!! lol - seriously. Just ask the owner. He's fabulous - even when we rolled in with a party of seven at 9:55pm, 5 minutes before closing!

I mixed in banana, strawberry, and topped it with hot fudge.

Will make you want to move to Bentonville if you don't live there already....you get the picture. Given this little rec by a local while we were traveling through town. Hubs and I couldn't decide which of the flavors to indulge, so we decided to go with the sampler. Not your average sampler. As you can see, the samplings are GENEROUS, served in a cute half-dozen egg carton. Each flavor was better than the last! I wish I lived closer as I'd have this ALL THE TIME...(maybe the 3 hour drive isn't too far after all? Excuse for another road trip?) Literally brought tears to my eyes it was so good and I practically did fight my husband off the last bit of the waffle cone (which was an added side-car to our sampler and is NOT to be missed!!). The ice cream truck is parked in a little park that had fairy lights, picnic tables, a DJ, and some board games available to make the night even more memorable. Sadly, we had to drive home. But Honey Bean will always be in my heart and in my dreams! See ya' next time, Honey Bean!

My hubby ordered the Spicy Spur Burger, with their newly acquired Ghost Pepper Jack cheese, and tater tots. He said his burger was better than every other burger he's had in the area and the cheese was super-tasty. He generously shared his delicious tots, and we had an overall scrumptious meal. Our wait staff was mostly friendly and attentive, until it was clear they wanted us to leave. Sadly, we left with a bad taste in our mouths.
