Fall has officially arrived in Encinitas, California, and with it comes a delightful array of seasonal ice cream flavors at JoJo’s Creamery. Located at 937 S Coast Hwy 101, Suite 106, this family-owned ice cream shop serves up some seriously tasty autumn treats that’ll make you forget all about pumpkin spice lattes (well, almost).
A Scoop of Fall Fun
JoJo’s Creamery isn’t your average ice cream joint. These folks take their frozen desserts seriously, whipping up small batches of super premium ice cream using mostly organic ingredients. And let’s not forget the free chocolate chip cookie that comes with each scoop – because nothing says “I care about you” quite like a bonus cookie, right?
Let’s dive into the fall flavors that are making waves at JoJo’s this season. Spoiler alert: your taste buds are in for a treat!
Dairy Delights
Pumpkin Cheesecake: The Crown Jewel of Fall
First up, we’ve got the Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. It’s like someone took your grandma’s famous cheesecake, gave it a pumpkin makeover, and then froze it into creamy perfection. This flavor is basically autumn in a cone with its cream cheese base and pumpkin ganache swirls.
Apple Caramel Crumble: An Orchard in Your Mouth
Next on the list is the Apple Caramel Crumble. Picture this: roasted apples, a gluten-free oat crumble, and ribbons of caramel, all mixed into a smooth ice cream base. It’s like apple pie decided to chill out (literally) and become the cool kid on the block.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie: A Chocoholic’s Dream
For those who believe chocolate is a food group, JoJo’s has you covered with their Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie flavor. This gluten-free concoction combines milk chocolate, peanut butter, and chunks of homemade brownies. It’s so good you might forget pumpkins exist.
Vegan Varieties
Vegan Peanut Butter Chip: No Dairy? No Problem!
JoJo’s hasn’t forgotten about their plant-based pals. The Vegan Peanut Butter Chip flavor uses coconut milk and cashew milk as its creamy base, then adds peanut butter and bittersweet chocolate for a dairy-free delight that’ll make even die-hard dairy lovers do a double-take.
Vegan Chocolate Cookies N’ Cream: Cookie Monster Approved
Remember those chocolate sandwich cookies you loved as a kid? JoJo’s has transformed them into a vegan ice cream flavor. This flavor is made with oat milk and cashew milk, proving that you don’t need dairy to create a masterpiece of cookies and cream.
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte: Because Fall
Last but not least, we have the Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte ice cream. It’s like JoJo’s looked at the long lines at certain coffee chains and thought, “We can do better.” Made with oat milk, coconut cream, pumpkin, and a blend of warm spices, this flavor captures the essence of fall in a much cooler package.
More Than Just Ice Cream
What sets JoJo’s apart isn’t just their creative flavors—it’s their commitment to quality. They make everything from scratch in their Encinitas shop, including waffle cones, sauces, and most of their add-ins, like brownies, cookie dough, and honeycomb. It’s almost like they’re showing off now (but we’re not complaining).
And let’s not forget about that free cookie that comes with every scoop. You can choose between regular or gluten-free, because JoJo’s believes in ice cream equality. It’s the perfect sidekick to your scoop, like Robin to Batman, but tastier.
The JoJo’s Experience
A trip to JoJo’s Creamery isn’t just about the ice cream – it’s an experience. From the moment you step inside their shop, just a few blocks from the beach, you’re hit with the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies and handcrafted ice cream.
The staff at JoJo’s is known for their friendly service. They often help indecisive customers navigate the flavor minefield with a smile and a sample or two. It’s where you walk in for a quick scoop and stay for an hour, chatting with the owners about their latest flavor experiments.
