JJ Hings Ice Cream — Attraction in Paris

Do you queue for ice cream 🍨? I DO NOT. But... Yesterday somebody asked me why I don't leave when I'm not satisfied with a restaurant I visit. And the answer is simple: I'm often not alone. 😅 That's what happened when I visited JJ Hings Ice Cream. I had found it myself on the Internet and I was attracted by their good ratings 🤩 but when I saw the line (10 / 15 people outside) I said NO.... but my wife said YES. 😓 TBH, I didn't only say NO because of the line: I was not convinced by the menu either (they change it all the time): only 5 flavors available and none of them seemed especially appealing to me. 😔 But since we had to stay for my wife I ordered a 2-scoop cone: 🍓 strawberry sorbet and apricot and chamomile sorbet. The strawberry one was the best I ever had. ❤️ The other one was so unusual and very good too. I'm glad I had them. 👏 There, they make the cones in front of you. I found it super cool and, honestly, these cones were the best ones I ever had. 😍 (Since then, I've realized that homemade cones are common in Paris 🗼 nowadays though...). These good sorbets and cone have a price: €4 for 1 scoop, €6 for 2 scoops, €9 for 3 scoops... plus €1 for the cone❗ That's crazy expensive. The products were great but we're still talking about ice cream! 😤 The parlor offers inside sitting options but with no AC and the weather was so hot 🥵 that we couldn't stay inside. Going back to that line. It took us 10 minutes to order. That is not ok. I did it that time because my wife insisted but I really find this crazy. ✋ . . .

We visited on the day they changed their hours from summer to winter, and thankfully managed to get there with five minutes to closing time! It was our last night in Paris and this was a place we hadn’t wanted to miss.

We ordered a Chocolate Chai Ice Cream Sandwich and a two scoop tub with Pumpkin and Chocolate Chai. The ice cream was creamy and the flavours were full of depth, and the scoops were generous. The chocolate on the ice cream sandwich was rich, and obviously a bit messy so make sure to pick up a few napkins or take some wipes! Would recommend and would love to try some more flavours if I’m ever...

OK I low key hate this place because its better than my homemade ice cream, but I cant stop coming back. Interesting flavour combos that keep changing, using seasonal ingredients. Amazing extra items on the menu like sandwiches and milkshakes but the real star is the PIE. I just had a peach pie and didn't take a photo because I INHALED it. So tasty, very salty crust which perfectly complimented the deliciousness inside. Had an always great scoop of nice coconut with it. Sundays are no longer crap because I have to go back to work on monday but super crap because JJ hings is shut for 3 DAYS, it...
