Joe Sundae’s

I have lived in this town for 20 years. This restaurant always advertises how wonderful it is and fun. Tonight my husband and I had an urge for a good Sunday. The place we normally go to is closed so we decide to go here. We went in and the place was empty and only one lady was working and she had to manage the restaurant next-​door as well. I want to do Sunday but she told me they had no toppings besides nuts and whip cream. Then when I asked for the ice cream I wanted she said I’m sorry but were out of the ice cream you wanted. For a place that is supposed to be so fun it sure was disappointing!!! Unless you want just ice cream with nuts and whip cream with limited choices go ahead and come here.

got some home made ice cream after a long day at cedar point! Service was so so but if your looking for homemade ice cream and great atmosphere this is your place!

My parents were in town and wanted real ice cream, not soft serve. We searched all over and finally found this place! They use Tofts ice cream. I had a chocolate milkshake which was delicious and super rich. My parents ended up splitting the banana split because it was HUGE. Some of the other reviews say the coffee isn’t good, and I can’t comment on that… But for real ice cream close to downtown Sandusky, this is a great place. ⁵⁄₅ Unilocalz!
EDIT: Apparently there’s an actual Toft’s Parlor about a mile down highway 6. I’d also reccommend that– more flavors!

After a storm forced Cedar Point to close earlier for the day than my friends and I had anticipated, we decided to go somewhere for dessert before parting our separate ways. My trusty Unilocal app came in good once again by finding dessert places and we decided to try out Joe Sundae’s.
While a little bit off the beaten path from Cedar Point traffic or even the downtown section of Sandusky, Joe Sundae’s is an affordable little restaurant that the locals go to. They have a decent selection of locally produced Toft’s ice cream, in which you can order a few different scoops of ice cream, make into sundaes or however you like it. They also have a selection of other drinks and food, but an old ice cream parlor seems to be their bread and butter.
Service was prompt and friendly as well. Definitely a place folks in Sandusky or visiting Sandusky should give a try.

I think the service and décor of the place is very good but… The Coffee really sucks here and I wish they would take the time to get it right. They serve Tofts ice cream which is to me the best in Ohio. I say go in for the ice cream and avoid the coffee.

We had ice cream only — no coffee or smoothie drinks.
We had two turtle sundaes (small) — which was more than an average woman needed to eat.
The man in our group had a medium hot fudge brownie sundae, and he was stuffed at the end. Came in a banana-​boat dish.
The atmosphere (and air conditioning) are great. We sat along the wooden bar, and the waitress gave us free glasses of water, along with a pleasant attitude.
Above all else, the quality was good. Pecans fresh and buttery; brownie warm and soft; and the Toft’s ice cream is quality.
You can also sit in the adjacent lounge-​couch area and watch TV.
I was a little disappointed to watch the waitress fix herself a sundae and eat it while she cleaned. Not very sanitary… but it happens.

The staff here is super friendly and I would definitely go here for ice cream. They carry Toft’s and have much better seating than the actual Toft’s Dairy.
The coffee however is questionable. Often has a borderline burnt taste. I don’t know if the beans are over roasted or what but my latte (no flavor added) is always on the bitter side and not in a good way.
Ice cream with atmosphere? Win!!! Delicious high-​end coffee? Better off at Mr. Smiths or (as much as I hate to say it…) Starbucks.
