⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Byron Harvey
Monkee Joe’s is one of our favorites. They have Vanillla Malts for me and they put a lot of cookie dough in the Twisters for my fiancée. Monkee Joe’s is pretty fast and they have the most options of all ice cream places anywhere in Lynchburg.

I love the hersheys ice cream here and the service is usually on point. They have soft serve that I will try next time. It is a little pricey but that may be due to the cost of things these days.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Roger Cook
Great ice cream! Lots of flavors and options on how to enjoy it. I love a rootbeer float, and this place has a good one. I would suggest looking at all the flavors online because it's a lot. We had a couple cones, a rootbeer float, and a healthy slice of cheesecake dipped in chocolate on a stick! Everything was tasty. So go get yourself some tasty, and try something new!

Second time here. First visit had the Hershey Coffee Ice Cream. Today I couldn't decide between the Key Lime or Watermelon soft serve. The worker said she could swirl them....sold lol :) Cashier/workers were very friendly both times. :)
