B J's Ice Cream Parlor 1495 Bay Street, Florence, OR 97439

"If you find yourself in Florence and in great need of ice cream, quickly make your way to BJ’s. The shop itself is nothing to write home about - it reminded me of what ice cream parlors (or other small shops like this) looked like in the 1970’s. Nothing fancy - but good ice cream… and very friendly staffing!"

"I ordered a double scoop of s'mores and chocolate cheesecake. The chocolate cheesecake was amazing. The s'mores was good too but it didn't compare to the chocolate cheesecake. My boyfriend ordered a hot fudge sundae with Kahlua fudge ice cream and wished his stomach had room for more. My friend ordered Oregon trail and caramel swirl and also had a pleasurable experience. Would recommend adding this to your stops in Florence."

"Love the salt water taffy. Not a huge fudge fan, but I've heard that the candy is great as well. Raves from my kids that the homemade ice cream is great. Portions were huge!"

"If it comes to ice cream in Florence, any visitor can't help but stop by to see if the taste stands up to the advert. I'm going to let my pics do the talkin and reassure that the taste is authentic and doesn't leave any chemical after taste. Service was exceptional. Flavors were not all the typical ones which assured I will need to revisit again. 3.99 for single scoop....but hey you're a tourist, money well spent for local economy. FYI...salt taffy lovers paradise on selection. Can't comment on the taste. ------------------------- Update July 2020... If you're interested in contracting covid-19, please make sure you make a stop here. No traffic pattern, people eating their ice cream in the store with their face masks down and their six children all meandering through the store while waiting for their family to finish the order so you don't even have a chance of seeing what is behind the counter. Send your kid outside once you order and keep your pie hole closed until you leave. Otherwise, ice cream still rocks."

"Delicious banana split! Lovely tastes to all flavors of their ice cream. We walked out with 3 bags of stale caramel corn which was not my favorite. Overall good customer service and delicious ice cream."
