Organic ice cream made in front of your eyes. "Real" frozen yogurt. Gelato in mochi. Custard cream puffs. Japanese sweet crepes.
All good things. But there comes a time when one wants something that hasn't been PR'd to death, hyped to overstatement, or so trendy that the dessert isn't just dessert, it's a fashion statement.
Ice cream. Yes. Ice cream. Good. Honest. Simple.
That's our thinking when we revisited Joe's Italian Ice last week, after months of pinballing around trying out the latest dessert fads. Joe's had what we needed. Ice cream cones. And syrupy ice slushie things called Italian ice. All in a place the press had long forgotten about.
It had been a few years since we'd been back. And it was just as we remembered.
It's a lonely hut, on a lot, parked along a dark stretch of road, just outside of the border from the pulsing brightness of Disneyland's neighborhood. Standing there in the night, Joe's luminous stand looked like something straight out of an Edward Hopper painting -- a refuge from the desolate, bathed in light.
Italian ices came in 14 flavors. Served in waxed cups, it's tinted with artificial coloring but oddly, tasted like the real deal. The list went like this:
Blood Orange
Rootbeer
Bada Bing Cherry
Strawberry Lemonade
Sour Apple
Horchata
Strawberry
Java Joe
Blue Hawaii
Mango Tango
Pina Colada
Black Raspberry
Sour Lemon
Wild Cherry
Ice cream flavors covered the usual menagerie, but included Spumoni and Toll House Cookie Dough. The latter was a rich ordeal. Too rich. I could only finish half my small scoop before my brain said, "That's enough butterfat, thank you very much!"
The Chocolate Dipped Cone went down easier. But the soft serve used is real ice cream; not ice milk like the fast food chains sell for a buck.
So it took a while for my palate to acclimate itself back to the velvety smoothness, the ultra dense, calorically-concentrated character of it all. And of course, it's piped as tall as torch. No space inside the cone was left empty.
I got my fill of ice cream that night. But I won't neglect Joe's again. Especially when it comes time for me to go try out the new O.C. outpost of a certain L.A. yogurt phenom. Do I even need to mention its name?

This was my next stop after a satisfying meal at the previous location of Los Sanchez across the street. The Bada Bing Cherry italian ice is a 'must' especially in combination with the soft serve vanilla ice cream. I have created devotees out of people I introduced to this place. I hope it retains its "best kept" secret status as I would hate to deal with a long waiting line when it becomes a hit or a "cool" place to get your sugar fix.
I always pass by this place when I'm around D-land but never had the urge to stop in. Maybe I should give this place a shot I do love soft serve ice cream especially the rich and creamy kind.
Thanks!
I could really go for their chocolate milkshake right about now. Their chocolate dipped bananas, however, weren't that great.
Do they still hand out punch cards, where if you buy x-amount you get something for free?
Kevin,
It's so ghetto, it's actually in the ghetto. At least that's what the area of Harbor south of Chapman feels like.
Vegasbuff,
You said it. Old school. I can't ever see one of these newfangled dessert joints ever having Spumoni as a flavor. But Joe's can pull it off. And no one bats an eye. I have to go for that flavor next time for sure.
Anon,
Ahh! I'll have to try the ice/ice cream mix next. The night I went the place had a line "out the door". Which is a misnomer, because it has no door -- just a walk-up window. But in the line there were a good mix of out-of-town tourists and locals like us.
polar,
There was one young chick serving the ice cream that night and she was flustered beyond belief. Couldn't believe they left her alone. I was going to take a picture, but figured she'd probably had enough nonsense for the night. HAHA! But yeah, she's still all smiles. I guess that's what happens when you work with ice cream.
nhbilly,
Definitely! The soft serve is the way to go. Follow that with some of the Italian Ice. Get ready for a butterfat overdose. (Thankfully the Italian Ice has no fat or cholesterol)
Whowantscandy,
Yep. Got my Joe's card right here. With three holes punched out of it. I'm sure it won't be long before I get something free.
Hey Elmomonster,
Been a reader of your post for a while now, finally decided to post something.
Joe's is great!!! Next time you go you should most definitely get the orange cream twist. This is my favorite item on the menu, the combination of the smooth soft serve and the tartness of the orange is amazing!!
Another item that is a must try is the Joe Latti, which is a combination of any italian ice and their soft serve on the bottom and top of the italian ice.
I agree with you about the scooped ice cream. I asked them where they get it from and they said it was either Breyers or Dreyers. Quite a disappointment.
Looking forward to your next post.
Don't miss the fact that the ice flavors change all the time. They make their own from whatever looks good to them at the produce market that week. They may be colored beyond reason but the flavors are mostly natural. Joe's Italian ices are awesome!
In religion and mythology, Hell is a realm in the hereafter where evil souls are subjected to punitive torment, most commonly by torture, as permanent punishment after death. Hell is mentioned in many mythology and beliefs. Tartarus, or Tartaros (Greek, deep place), is the region under heaven, Earth, and Pontus in classical Greek mythology. Tartarus is the hellish component of Hades (the entire underworld). It is either a deep, dark region, a pit, or an abyss used as a dungeon of agony and misery. Plato (about 400 BC) said in the Gorgias that the souls of the departed were judged after they paid to pass the river of the dead, and those who suffered punishment were consigned to Tartarus. On the other hand, the traditional Hades is more like the Old Testament Sheol. The Romans eventually adopted these ideas. Hell is taught as the final destination of those who are not found worthy after the general resurrection and last judgment in the Roman Catholic Church, many other Christian churches, such as the Methodists, Baptists, and Episcopalians, and some Greek Orthodox churches, where they will be eternally punished for sin and permanently separated from God.
According to mythical and legendary traditions, an incubus is a male demon who lies upon sleeping women to engage in sexual intercourse with them. A succubus is its feminine counterpart. Incubi and succubi stories have been told for millennia in ancient communities. According to certain legends, repeated sexual interaction with an incubus or succubus can lead to health problems, mental impairment, or even death. Many of the characteristics of this creature were then assimilated by other supernatural beings of the Italian popular tradition. In legend, a succubus is a female demon or supernatural being who appears in dreams to entice men, generally via sexual activities. Repeated sexual interaction with a succubus, according to religious traditions, can lead to poor physical or mental health, and even death. A succubus is typically shown as a lovely seductress or enchantress in modern depictions, rather than as a demonic or dangerous being.
The Amphisbaena is a mythical snake with two heads, one at each end of the body, and eyes that shine like lamps. According to the Greek myth, the amphisbaena was generated by the blood dripped from the head of the gorgon Medusa when Perseus flew over the Libyan desert.
Anguana or Agana or Longana is an aquatic nymph belonging to Alpine mythology, widespread also in Umbria, Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, and Tuscany. She lives only in fresh waters, such as lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and streams. Generally, the anguane are represented as nature spirits similar to the nymphs of the Greek-Roman world (probable original model of the myth), whose characters very often merge with those of the undines and other figures of Germanic and Slavic mythology (the rusalki in particular). In many areas of Friuli, their myth overlaps and merges with that of the Krivapete, with which they share numerous legends. Some stories affirm that anguane, like other mythical creatures, were women who died in childbirth, or even young dead girls, or the souls of stillborn children, or even women born wrapped in the amniotic sac, like the benandanti. According to other traditions they were women of the woods, dedicated to a pagan cult, but they were mostly considered non-human creatures belonging to the spirit world. They are frequently described as young women, often very attractive and able to seduce men; at other times, however, they appear as beings that are half girls and half reptiles or fish, capable of shouting. In other stories, they are thin and ghostly old women or nocturnal creatures who always vanish before anyone can see their faces. The legends about anguane have in common the presence, in these creatures, of one or more non-human traits: hen, duck, goat feet, etc. The other common element is they live near springs and streams and are protectors of the waters. Many stories tell of how they taught men traditional crafts, such as spinning wool or cheese making. Such stories generally end with men breaking the pact and offending the anguana.
