Jim's Ice Cream

Jim's Ice Cream is an owner-operated shop on SE 10th Avenue in Hillsboro. Saying it is owner-operated is completely inadequate.

Once a Baskin-Robbins run by local restaurateur Jim Schulz, he eventually made the ice cream store his own, running it for decades. When he was ready to retire, employee Adrian Wakefield purchased the store, but preserved the name.

In that way, Jim's has a legacy and lore similar to Jan's Paperbacks. It has a history with the community. Those community ties are strengthened by working with local dairies to make the ice cream.

Ice cream is generally pretty good anyway, but a great deal of care goes into the flavor and ingredient selection.

And it is not only ice cream. They have had great success with Hot Chocolate Bombs over the winter, that does not seem to have slowed down into summer. You can order custom ice cream cakes, and you can get your regular ice cream in shakes, malts, floats, smoothies, sundaes, splits or fancy waffle cones.

They have plenty of options. It's just a matter of making the time.
