Josh & John's Ice Cream ~ Colorado chain : Colorado Springs

Latest visit: Feb 2024 (Flying Horse)

First visit: Summer 1994 (Downtown)

Locations: Colorado Springs (3); Fort Collins; Loveland. The latter a relatively new addition.

Back for our first return of 2024. On this visit I had the Salted Peanut Butter Cup and Mrs. RJG went for the Almond Joy. Both in the homemade waffle cone (+$1). The cone was sweet, crispy, and delicious. The ice cream was the correct small portion, but we've become accustomed to getting more. Bummer that. Still my favorite ice cream joint in Colorado.

Let's just get right to it - the is the RJG's favorite ice cream place. Ever. In the RJG's first tour of duty here in the Springs, I was quickly introduced to Josh & John's, and I can honestly say I've never had better ice cream. It's not the creamiest, in fact almost the opposite, but the flavor really comes through. It's almost chewy. Though in the last year they phased out my favorite flavor Pikes Peak Coffee. Boo. But they still have a java chip that's quite delicious. Mrs. RJG enjoys their Butter Pecan, and we both love good old fashioned Dutch Chocolate. There was a time when you could find Josh & Johns at the local grocery stores, and they also did a turn in Denver when we lived there. 

If you're traveling to the state, it's well worth your time to grab a scoop.

During the hard lockdowns, one of the rare treats was for Mrs. RJG and I to head to downtown (free parking during that period only) and enjoy a small dish. Our local store was closed at the time. But they're back to normal (mostly) and we on (rare occasion) will indulge.
