Cookies and Creme JAXBEACH: Ice Cream Sandwiches in Jacksonville Beach
Share
Updated November 2026
Cookies and Creme JAXBEACH is a veteran- and family-owned late-night cookie and ice cream shop at 241 13th Ave. N. in Jacksonville Beach. Owners Ray and Jen Enzenbacher bake the cookies and make the ice cream in-house for build-your-own cookie ice cream sandwiches, with vegan and gluten-free options. It offers dine-in and takeout.
Most dessert counters close about when the Beaches gets hungry again. This one was built for that hour.

How the Build-Your-Own Ice Cream Sandwich Works
- Pick a size. The Premium Grom is two large cookies, two scoops, and a homemade topping. The Gromlette uses smaller cookies.
- Pick two cookies. They don't have to match. Brownie on one side and chocolate chip on the other is a regular order.
- Pick an ice cream. Every flavor is made in the shop.
- Add a topping.
Cookies and scoops are also sold on their own. A grom, in surf talk, is a young surfer. The sandwich is sized accordingly.
Cookie and Ice Cream Flavors
The lineup rotates. Flavors the shop and its regulars have pointed to include:
- Beaches Best Chocolate Chip, the house chocolate chip cookie
- Tutti Fruity Pebble, Unstuffed Oreo, and Funfetti cookies
- Brownie cookie, a common half of a mixed sandwich
- Cookies and Creme Extreme ice cream, the best seller, made with ground-up frozen cookies from the day before
- Thin Lizzy ice cream, a thin mint flavor
Jen grew up in a family that baked and spent years testing recipes from friends before the shop existed. Ray learned ice cream making after customers kept asking whether the ice cream was homemade too. Now it is.
Vegan and Gluten-Free Options
Cookies and Creme keeps vegan (non-dairy) and gluten-free options for both cookies and ice cream, so a vegan or gluten-free guest can build a full sandwich. The selection is smaller than the main menu. Ask at the counter what's in the case that day.
Wednesday Milkshake Night
Milkshakes are a Wednesday thing. The shop has run a set of house milkshake flavors plus a build-your-own option, made with the same in-house ice cream. If you want a shake on a Tuesday, the answer is Wednesday.
Thanksgiving at Cookies and Creme
The shop is open on Thanksgiving Day 2026 from 2 to 7 p.m. with special Thanksgiving cookies, for dine-in or takeout, no reservation needed. Details are in our guide to Cookies and Creme on Thanksgiving.
Who Cookies and Creme Is Right For
- Families after a beach day, with a menu kids can build themselves.
- Late-night dessert runs, after dinner or a show at the Beaches.
- Mixed groups where one person is vegan or gluten-free.
- Anyone bringing dessert to a party, since cookies and pints travel.
How to Visit
Walk in. There's no reservation system, and orders are made at the counter. The shop is a small storefront with outdoor seating out front, so on a busy summer night the line is part of the visit.
