Joy's Ice Cream Plus — Restaurant in Fort Pierce

I complain about prices to my wife all the time. Her usual response to me is "Steve, it's not the 1960's anymore". But $8 for an ice cream cone is crazy. But from the line out the door waiting for ice cream, I guess I'm the crazy one.

Yes, Joy's Ice Cream is delicious. It tastes like the ice cream from Applegate's Farm that my Grandfather would take me to...it was the best. Joy's does have that old fashioned creamy fresh taste.

The line did move fast. Even though we started from the door, it was only minutes until I had my 2022 $8 ice cream cone. I opted for the double scoop version. It was delicious. We decided to eat it our truck with the air conditioning on. I think that I got 3 or 4 licks in before the cone broke a few inches up from the bottom. My lighting fast reflexes allowed me to catch the top part....of courses ice cream first. Yes, I was holding $8 worth of chocolate ice cream in my right hand, the other piece in the left hand.

My wife's quick thinking saved the day. She said she was going back in to get a cup. Of course I said try to get another empty cone...or better yet, a whole new ice cream cone. Only gone for a minute, she brings me an empty cup which I slid the drippy mess into...including my broken cone.

I was able to finish my mess in short order. It was still delicious even kind of melted. Of course by the time we got back home, the ice cream had dried on my hands like a second skin. Nothing on my shirt, but my pants needed a good washing.

So if you like great old fashioned tasting ice cream, head...

We've been joy's loyalists for years and never had a bad experience before but this one will be very memorable for me. If this were my only experience 1 star would be it. I ordered an extra large custom flavored sheet cake for my son's birthday. Ordered it on a Wednesday for pickup Saturday around noon. Was told that the main decorator was out and that if there were any problems they would call and let us know the next day. My MIL arrived to pick it up Saturday and she was told that they hadn't decorated it yet. The decorator claimed she called me 'all morning' but my voicemail box was full. It wasn't me she called because I had my phone with me and my mailbox is never full. If she called multiple times how did she dial the wrong number that many times? They proceeded to decorate it while my MIL waited. Because the cake was taken from the freezer to decorate last minute the cake was melting on the way out the door. It was mush by the time it got to my house 20 minutes later and we immediately served it. It was that or it would've liquified all over my counter. My sweet MIL paid $70 for melted mush because the decorator didn't look at orders until the last minute. I can't believe they even charged us for it knowing exactly what the outcome would be considering it was melting when she was decorating it and never even apologized or offered an alternative or discount or anything. Very disappointing. I'm planning on calling to speak with a manager after the holiday and asking for a refund. Let's hope...

I called to ask if they were distributing tickets for the PSL Drama show. Before I could finish my sentence the lady said yes and hung up on me. I called back only to be hung up on before I even said hello. Again, I called back to ask if Saturday tickets were still available only for her to say mam I am on the phone with a distributor and don't have time to walk up front to check to see if the tickets are available. Maybe you should let PSL high-school know that you will not give info on tickets so they can give a heads up that they will be complete jerks if you call them or say "i can't be bothered right now" instead of hanging up on me. You are the rudest person I've ever been on the phone with. I was going to bring the kids for ice cream while we purchased our tickets but I'll NEVER step foot in this place again. What a rude unprofessional way to run a business. I'm sure if distributing tickets was too difficult or resulted in your attitude, PSL high would rather you don't do them any favors. Those poor kids DESERVE better leadership and representation. I wonder how many tickets they lost out on because this lady couldn't be bothered to answer the phone. I'm still going but I'll be visiting We Be Poppin afterwards. Thanks Joyless! Btw: it gives out your phone number ON THE FLYER. Why would I assume I'm not...
