About Jersey Junction

Jersey Junction is a popular spot for ice cream and a walk around downtown EGR and Reeds Lake. The shop offers many flavors, including chocolate and Carolina peach, which are highly recommended. Kids and adults enjoy the vintage model train that travels above eye level around the small shop. Visitors can sit in vintage school desks while they wait or look at the historical photos and newspaper clippings on the walls that tell stories about Ramona Park, a place that used to be on Reeds Lake. There is a deck with seating and a bench under a tree, and the bike rack is often full of bikes from families. The shop is known for its old charm and friendly, professional staff who even offer "pup cups" for dogs on hot days. The seating area has a tiny restroom that is small and not wheelchair accessible, but nearby options include a wheelchair accessible restroom at Starbucks or D&W. The shop is narrow inside, making it less accessible for some, but the experience and atmosphere are what make Jersey Junction special. Visitors often find the ice cream generous, with some ordering double scoops in waffle cones that are almost a pint of ice cream. During hot days, umbrellas would be helpful for comfort. Overall, Jersey Junction is a fun, nostalgic place to enjoy ice cream and create summer memories. The shop reopens for the season in April, eagerly awaited by many.
