In Short – Old-fashioned ice cream parlor chairs mix with modern light fixtures. While ice cream scoopers do their job at the counter, R&B plays over the crowd. The bistro-like menu features generous omelettes, sandwiches (like an open-faced Reuben oozing with Swiss cheese), big burgers in beef, turkey and veggie, and entrees (like salmon served with coconut basmati rice). Daily soups can make nice starters, as can a well-portioned spinach salad with blue cheese, walnuts, apples and onions.

REAL ice cream

Great place to get real, non-froyo ice cream. Nice place to sit and eat it too! Service was slow, but I didn't mind as they were friendly.

  • Pros: Serves REAL ice cream
  • Cons: service is slow

More Than Justice Cream

by hutch23

I work right near MTJIC, so I go there a couple times a month. I love the food, and the waitstaff are so friendly and remember the regular customers.

I'm getting a bit tired of their menu, although their chicken quesidillas and soup specials are perfect every time. They offer 2 specials daily that aren't always the most inspiring.

Also--it's pretty dirty in there, check the air vents out.

I know this all sounds negative, but I love MTJIC and have been a loyal customer for almost 4 years...I just need a shake up on the menu.

  • Pros: reliable favorites
  • Cons: menu hasn't changed in years.

Great for birthdays or girls' nights out

by washwestdiner

for my group of 20-somethings on a budget, this is our favorite place to take over for birthdays or just nights out with the girls. The food is tasty and inexpensive, the ice cream is wonderful, and it's a byo with plenty of wine glasses to borrow. I've never waited for a table for 4-6 at dinner time, and you can stuff yourself for about $15 including tip. Just a word of warning- walk or cab over if you can. Garages are expensive in this neighborhood and street parking is tight. Getting your meal might take a while if you have a larger group, so bring plenty of wine!

  • Pros: inexpensive BYO
  • Cons: slow but entertaining service
