As per previous reviews, "Jo's is the perfect place to stop and grab an ice cream during a walk on the pier" so my wife and I did just that. It was a hot day, we took a walk on the beach and the pier downtown eastern passage and our stop at Jo's Candy Shop was highly anticipated.
There was few patronage when we walked in, just a family of three anxiously waiting for the server to get their ice cream.

We asked the worker and she said it was because of the “humidity” and didn’t accommodate or try to help. We didn’t get our money back or anything and will not be back. Don’t recommend. Service was bad and not...
