This place is definitely appropriately named! I was wandering about the streets of Lakewood when I spotted this gem and quickly snagged a parking spot right out front. Once inside I was warmly greeted by the friendly owner whose middle name is Joy. It turned out I was there during happy hour (2-6pm) so I got a dollar off every item I purchased! After sampling many delicious and unique flavors (there was actual chunks of Brie Cheese in one of them!) I decided to get a couple ice cream sandwiches (which if you buy in bulk you get them at a cheaper price). I went with a Bourbon flavored ice cream between two Chocolate Chip cookies, Vegan Cayenne Sweet Potato Pecan sandwiched between two Oatmeal cookies, and Berry Cheesecake between two Sugar Cookies with Sprinkles.
OMG my mouth was so happy! But dang these babies are huge! It took me a couple sittings before I could finish off just one so I am pretty thankful each one comes in a sealed plastic pouch. My only slight nit pick would be that the cookies are hardly baked so it's like eating raw cookie dough, which after a few bites you know you're going to get an upset stomach if you don't put that thing down and eat a salad instead.
Overall I really enjoyed the treats I got from Ice Cream Joy and I would definitely check it out again!
