When it comes to ice cream you hold onto your memories with flavours like vanilla, chocolate or strawberry but never in our wildest dreams we thought that would we be sniffling and enjoying an ice cream that tastes like chow and gives you all those different sensations especially that sound you make when you eat pepper but you cannot stop yourself because it lashing. It even clears your nasal passage.
In tasting the items we were blown away especially by their final and major product being ice cream after hearing that the creators didn't know much at all about it when they initially started. The smooth consistency and creaminess cannot be compared and they have mastered their unique flavors that they have introduced like unicorn, spicy darky, pineapple chow, ginger turmeric and good girl gone bad. They also make beautiful sundaes with so much texture in them that enjoy every bite.
One of our favorites was their classic oreo shake. With your first sip you will get the richest caramel paired with a cookies and cream base that is finished with whole oreos and whipped cream. It is rich but not heavy and so delicious you have to try it. Amongst others things were the chicken, tuna and s'mores paninis that have best sauce and fun elements for your kids. When you visit if you're unsure of which flavour ice cream you'd like to try you can opt for the bomb which is a mix if several flavours for an easy decision.
Now the pineapple ice cream was the real attraction. When you taste it you will feel like you're having a simple chow with creamy elements but then the pepper hits the back of your throat and you may react by coughing, sneezing or even blowing your nose. You tastebuds are in shock but it's an ongoing cycle of enjoyment and confusion and definitely is a worthwhile experience.
A&J's premium homemade ice cream produces over 70 flavors of ice cream and we hope to have more unique experiences like this in the near future. They also serve Paninis we tried their Chicken, Tuna and S'mores options and were really impressed with the taste, something about that sauce though. it was a perfect mix of sweet and savory with garlic we still cant describe it . We loved the S'mores Panini and the use of nutella, it's fun but...

Food is offered but some things are not available at this outlet, so you need to ask. Hamburgers are new offerings here. Brentwood has another branch which offers food and coffee. The Charlieville outlet does not offer coffee, sadly. But note, it's Nescafé on sale.
Ice cream evermore. I sampled doubles ice cream which is unique indeed. Pineapple chow is peppery with pineapple chunks. Scorpion pepper ice cream is exactly that - a hot pepper sweetness. It's almost as if the coolness and sugar are to tone down the pepper's heat. The one I enjoyed was the sorrel coffee crunch. The crunch comes from nuts so ask about ingredients if you have allergies or food sensitivities. Traditional flavours are abundantly available too, from coconut to soursop to chocolate chip.
I ordered the pistachio, and the sorrel coffee crunch. The containers come in variable sizes that are comparable to the foreign brands we purchase. I enjoyed the sorrel coffee crunch option.
The challenge for me would be that I would not want these exotic flavours except to try once. Small containers for these are from $25 which might be much for some just trying out some new flavours.
They offer a large size with up to three flavours for variety. Kudos for that. I would visit again to try some other flavours, and maybe...
   Read moreReally nice place and ice creams were lovely. I loved how light the charcoal coconut was. These ice creams are home made and you can taste the difference from store bought. Place is clean and tidy. Felt that customer service was pleasant but could smile a lil more. :) Otherwise, I'd definitely return and recommend. I want to get a tub of ice cream for home consumption. I only took. One star off because it said there are 100 flavours and there was only a few but I'd really only take off a quarter star tbh.
I added back the star as I went to get Ice cream in their sale at another location a few doors down another day (covid restrictions). They didn't have the flavour I wanted. They ran to their main store and got it mixed and brought to me. Great customer service here. However, the ice cream was brighter, lighter and the one before was more pale and a bit heavier. I called up the shop to ask and they explained there is a non-dairy version and that they should have asked me which one. They apologised profusely and offered me a refund AND a new tub of ice cream. Regardless, the ice cream was non-dairy, it tasted great (I'm Lactose intolerant anyway) and because they gave the best customer service, I kept the ice cream and declined the refund. Would still recommend 100%. Catch them of they ever have sale, we got loads of tubs and single serve sizes, more than we needed but the ice cream is so great we...
