Described as a hometown treasure, Jaxson!s is a restaurant, candy store and ice cream
parlor. All flavors are made in house and they!re good (really good). I was also excited to
go with the TCP crew! The menu is extensive so it!s always fun sampling what everyone
else orders too.
Mark and I ended up splitting the strawberry shortcake with an extra scoop of black rasp-
berry! Two buttery slices of pound cake covered in ice cream then topped with whip cream.
It was a sight and to us resembled a mini mountain of sweetness; all that after some cider
and thin crust margarita pizza from Riverside Market!
As expected, we barely made a dent in our large-sized frozen treat. Nonetheless, it was
delicious and the blackberry ice cream is definitely a must try. My favorite part was that
could taste that the whip cream was made fresh.
It!s those little details that make Jaxson!s a staple in South Florida.

I have lived in South Florida for many years, tried many different restaurants, but for some
reason, (even though it was on my to do list), I never got round to go to Jaxson!s Ice cream
Parlor. I know for many people that is sacrilegious, but before you jump down my throat, I
just went there.
I have heard so many good things about Jaxson!s so I had built up the ice cream to be
something amazing. I loved the old style it was set in and to be honest, I didn!t know they
severed hot food too. I saw a burger pass by me that looked and smelled delicious.
When the server handed me the menu I knew I was in trouble. There were so many ice
cream concoctions, I didn!t know where to start or what I wanted to order. Then after a good
long thinking session I wanted something simple so I could get a good taste of the pure
ice cream flavor. My favorite ice cream is cookie dough, so I thought why not go for that?
When the big bowl of ice cream was planted in front of me I was so excited to dig in. Let!s
just say it didn!t disappoint. There was a good amount of cookie dough and the ice cream
had a great dairy flavor, not like a lot of processed ice cream you get now a days. From
the looks around the Collective Plate table, everyone looked like they thoroughly enjoyed
their dessert.
The ice cream was excellent and with all the different types of desserts to try I would go
back again and again. I really want to try that burger too.

HoneyEverytime I walk into Jaxson!s I feel like a little kid all over again. When you first walk in you
are taken back to an old fashioned candy store where you can find your favorite childhood
chocolates and candies. It!s every kid!s dream come true. You will definitely leave Jaxson!s
with a sugar rush!
With a menu of flavors and sundae combos that seems to be endless, Jaxson!s is an ice
cream lover!s dream! It!s no wonder this place has been around for decades! The menu
can be a bit overwhelming since there are some many combinations, but no matter what
item you pick I assure you, you won!t be disappointed.
I shared the Praline Pecan Supreme Collosal Parfait with Jenn and when it arrived to the
table I was blown away with how massive it was. It was never-ending! I don!t even know
if going on an empty stomach would have helped. (Thank god I shared this bad boy!) It
felt like a bottomless pit of tasty homemade praline ice cream with butterscotch, whipped
cream and toasted pecans. It was sinfully delicious. I would have been satisfied with a
simple scoop of ice cream on a waffle cone. But I figure if you are at Jaxson!s, you must
go big or go home!
Make sure if you are headed to Jaxson!s you are prepared to wait in a long line outside, it!s
always packed. But you can always order it to go from their take-out window :)

I haven!t been to Jaxons Ice Cream Parlor in years and coming back with the Collective
Plate team brought back a lot of great memories. It!s hard to miss this place due to the
attractive bright flickering lights. Inside, it is decorated with amusing license plates and
vintage décor.
I shared an order with Honey called the Praline Pecan Parfait. This was a HUGE order
and I can!t believe we finished about " of it. From the bottom up it was layered with
caramel, pecans, praline pecan ice cream, whip cream, and more pecans. Talk about a
sugar high!
Luckily I was able to sleep at night. I was hoping to see a table order the infamous Kitchen
Sink (a known specialty) but lucked out on it. Before you exit, just when you thought you
had a sugar overload, think again. There is a mini store selling MORE sugar with lots of
childhood candy. I totally skipped that area because I was all sugared out. Overall, this is
a great stop for all the sweet tooth peeps out there.

I have not been here for over 6 years! Even then, I have only been once prior this sponta-
neous visit. We all were sitting at Riverside Market when we realized there was no dessert
menu - someone suggested Jaxson!s and we were gone in 2 seconds.
What I love about Jaxson!s is it makes me feel like I!m in a different era. First comes to mind
is the 1950!s! I did a Google search to see when it was established - 1956! It also makes
me feel like a kid! The bright lights, the front of the store is swamped with candies you had
as a child, license plates plastered everywhere and my favorite is when you wait in line for
the restroom you can see old school photos of Jaxson!s framed on the wall.
I!m a simple kind of gal. Toppings on ice cream were never my thing. I ordered one big
scoop of cookies and cream. I love that they make their own ice cream and I was able to
enjoy it without any toppings to disguise the flavor!
Next time I would like to go for a meal!

This was my second time at Jaxson!s. I have yet to try their food but I dont know if I!m miss-
ing anything as the ice cream is amazing. It!s very creamy and served at the right tempera-
ture, so that you dont have to dig or shave with your spoon to get a bite.
My favorite ice cream is strawberry or any kind of berry really and I have to say they do it
right. I love finding big pieces of berry or fruit in the ice cream and that!s exactly what you
will find if you order from Jaxson!s. So go on and feed your sweet tooth with my personal
favorites like Towering Short Cakes or Two on a Blanket.

Jaxson!s Ice Cream Parlour and Restaurant in Davie is such a fun place to have ice cream.
As you enter Jaxson!s, you are greeted with an old-school candy store. The walls are cov-
ered with retro license plates from around the country which gives off a nostalgic feel.
Jaxson!s exhaustive ice cream menu can be overwhelming at times, but if you want some-
thing simple, you cannot go wrong with a hot fudge sundae ($8.95). With two heaping
scoops of your choice of ice cream, topped with hot fudge, whip cream, sprinkles and a
cherry served with an extra side of hot fudge, this treat is perfect for a hot summer day. This
sundae will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.
Whether you have time to dine in this nostalgic restaurant or only time to visit the take out
window, stopping at Jaxson!s for ice cream while driving thru Dania Beach is a must!
