Jazzys Sweet Spot & Hydrobikes — Restaurant in Star City

If you're looking for a dessert destination that doubles as a mini adventure, look no further than Jazzy’s Sweet Spot & Hydrobikes — a charming, offbeat spot that’s part ice cream parlor, part lakeside rental hub, and 100% local treasure.

Whether you're cruising on a hydrobike or just craving a cold treat on a warm day, Jazzy's manages to deliver a surprisingly delightful combo of sugar rush and lakeside leisure.

Atmosphere: 4.2/5 Jazzy’s is as colorful and laid-back as the name suggests. Nestled near the edge of Lake Myrtle (or your fictional local lake of choice), the shop has a playful, summery vibe with picnic tables, string lights, and a small dock where the hydrobikes await.

Inside, it’s small but cozy — a retro-style counter, chalkboard menus, and the hum of a vintage milkshake machine. You’ll probably catch a local playlist in the background and a few kids debating between bubblegum or cotton candy flavors.

Service: 4.5/5 Service is fast, friendly, and full of personality. The staff clearly enjoy the relaxed environment and make a point to engage with customers, offering samples, jokes, and plenty of patience — especially with indecisive kids or curious tourists. When asked about shake flavors, one team member grinned and said, “We’ve got one that tastes like birthday cake and nostalgia — want to try?”

It’s the kind of place where you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

Ice Cream & Pricing: 4.3/5 Jazzy’s keeps things simple and affordable:

One scoop: $3.75 Two scoops: $4.50 Three scoops: $5.25 That’s a steal these days, especially considering the generous portions. The texture is rich, old-school creamy, and flavors lean toward fun and familiar. Think Mint Cookie Crunch, Birthday Bash, and Peachy Keen Vanilla. They’re not trying to reinvent ice cream — they’re just doing the classics really well.

A few rotating seasonal flavors (like Cinnamon Swirl Cornbread or Lemon Poppyseed) hint at a creative side, but the menu mostly sticks to crowd-pleasers.

Signature Shakes & Shaved Ice: 4.6/5 Here’s where Jazzy’s starts to stand out.

Their signature shakes are thick, decadent, and come with wild toppings — marshmallow drizzle, crushed Oreos, caramel popcorn, or a full cookie balanced on top. You can customize or go with pre-named favorites like:

The Jazzy Jolt – Coffee ice cream, brownie chunks, and chocolate drizzle. Not for the faint of heart. Sunset Swirl – Strawberry, mango, and vanilla topped with whipped cream and a candy slice of orange. Their shaved ice is light and fluffy, served in generous mountain-shaped cups, and comes in every color imaginable. Flavors like Tiger’s Blood, Blue Raspberry, and Cherry Limeade are big hits with kids, and there’s even an adult-friendly “Frozen Mojito” (non-alcoholic, but still refreshing).

Hydrobike Rentals: 4/5 Let’s not forget the hydrobike half of the operation. Available by the hour, these water bikes are easy to use, surprisingly stable, and a fun way to burn off a sugar high. Staff provide life jackets, instructions, and a few cheesy puns before you pedal off across the water.

The combo of activity and indulgence is what makes Jazzy’s unique — it’s a place where you can make a memory, not just buy a cone.

Final Thoughts: 4.4/5 Jazzy’s Sweet Spot & Hydrobikes is more than just an ice cream stop — it’s a laid-back summer experience wrapped in sugar, sprinkles, and sunshine. The prices are fair, the treats are delicious, and the atmosphere invites you to stay awhile. Whether you’re coming off the water or just passing through town, this is the kind of spot you’ll tell your friends about.

My overall experience was outstanding—11 out of 10! The staff members were incredibly friendly, and all the food tasted great. The prices are reasonable given the quality of what you receive. The atmosphere and decorations inside the store are amazing, creating a welcoming vibe. It's also really cool that they offer hydro bike rentals right below the store. I'm glad to see this, especially since West Virginia is known for its...
