31 Best Ice Cream Shops near Basking Ridge

“Ava’s has great Ice Cream!“

“sooo good!!!! loved it! very unique look and delicious! you get to keep the mason jar, too!“

“Best ice cream shop in Morristown. I am lactose intolerant but I love ice cream so much. Their vegan ice cream is better than any ice cream I have ever had. No joke. The owner was very friendly as well. He is a dog lover and really cares about his customers. My husband got waffles with ice cream. Also amazing. Nothing bad to say. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Quick stop here for ice cream, on a week night. Great variety of flavors and lots of seating. I got the strawberry buttermilk: roasted strawberries, buttermilk and house sweet strawberry honey balsamic jam...so good, love the jam running through it and not stingy with it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back.“

“The Stirling Fountain is a great new addition to the neighborhood. When we drove up there were a lot of people sitting outside enjoying their ice cream and the line inside was out the door. We initially hesitated whether we had the time to wait and luckily decided to go in. The line moved so fast, and everyone working behind the counter was incredibly friendly. The portion sizes are better than most ice cream shops and they have a great selection of flavors. I highly recommend visiting. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We have used blue sheep bake shop for our family events twice now, and both times they went above and beyond to make such a stunning and delicious cake!! We will 100% be going to them for all of our professional cake needs!! Super friendly staff & very quick to respond!“

“We visited while in the area and found both the food and service to be outstanding. The sushi was very fresh and there are some inventive rolls on the menu. They have several tea options, one of which is the Flower Tea, a beautifully fragrant mix of organic leaves of jasmine, rose, lavender, chamomile and marigold which my daughter and I found to be soothing and totally hit the spot on a chilly rainy night. The owner was accommodating and extremely friendly; she made sure to check on us several times during the meal. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I have come to fresh tiki bar several times now. I have had their soft serve vanilla which is out of this world. As well as their Italian cookie which if you like Italian rainbow cookies you owe it to yourself to try at least once. The place is fairly small inside but it does have outdoor seating. The menu is a good size for an ice cream place, they don't have 5 million flavors but when the number gets that high they often get real weird. The fun flavors they do have seam limited and on a rotation, but I think this allows them to provide a higher quality product from what I've had. I'm fairly certain this is a husband and wife team and I have only dealt with the wife, but she is always very friendly and has a general chipper demeanor.This is a great place for a small date night treat or to take the kids and get a little ice cream.“

“I’ve got to say, the best FroYo place around. They have so many flavor options, and so many toppings. Their boba is pretty good. It’s your average boba. I have never tried one of their smoothies, or rolled ice cream. It’s such a popular place with the kids, and it’s also walking distance from the green! I highly recommend.“

“great cookie“

“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

“This past weekend my husband & I tried this place for the first time through Too Good To Go. We were greeted by a friendly young lady & were asked if we had any allergy restrictions & received our order quickly. The cookies were so soft (even 2 days later)! Definitely would go back again!“

“On the way home, I accidentally saw the crowd in front of his door and entered. I waited a while for the queue to come, but since the number of employees was high, the turn came quickly. I ate cookie, vanilla and lemon ice cream. Afterwards, the ice cream was delicious among the chocolate biscuits. the employees are friendly and very friendly. I'll be back soon to try other flavors.

“This review is seriously overdue, I love coming here! If I could give them more stars I honestly would. I love supporting local businesses vs. corporate places when I can. They have soo many flavors, great service and always very clean. Its also in a really great part of town which is very convenient for me. My personal favorite menu items there are the CUTEST little home made chipwiches and the shakes (I always request Paul make the shake if he’s there) its soo good! Definitely recommend. The cakes are great as well, I got one for my friend’s birthday recently, everyone loved it!“

“We went to the Creamery/Cafe for a late lunch at 1 O'clock today.Although their Eritrean menu says available by reservation 5 to 8 pm. we were able to order from the dinner menu.Service was prompt and very friendly.The Eritrean food was novel and delicious.Many, varied, interesting items to choose from.A pleasant contrast and relief from the usual hamburger, steak, pizza, sushi, etc. choices at most other restaurants in the Morristown area.“

“Great ice cream, friendly kids, working there this year, and willing to accommodate food allergies by changing their gloves, opening up a clean container of ice cream and using a clean scooper. We appreciate this very much and will patronize as often as possible.“

“Our experience at Dairy Quick was delightful and worth noting. The ambiance exuded a charming, cozy atmosphere with its warm lighting and distinct, standalone building dedicated solely to serving ice cream. During our visit, we encountered a temporary issue with their credit card processing machine. However, we were pleased to discover a nearby ATM at Quick Chek, just down the street, which didn't charge fees. Despite this minor inconvenience, our overall experience was positive.One notable aspect was the consistency in portion sizes at Dairy Quick. They deliver exactly what you order; no surprises with oversized servings when you opt for a smaller portion. This attention to portion accuracy was much appreciated, as it can be frustrating when your order exceeds your appetite.The two employees working at Dairy Quick were attentive and courteous throughout our visit, enhancing our overall experience. As the evening progressed, the arrival of several couples added to the surreal and quaint ambiance, making it an enjoyable outing for us. In summary, we had a great time at Dairy Quick and would recommend it to others seeking a charming ice cream destination.“

“Place is very clean, food is absolutely delicious and their smoothies are amazing. I get this around 3-4 times per week and have only good things to say about this place. Food comes out fast and their delivery prep through Ubereats is very good as nothing is ever spilledParking: Parking is a bit tough as it is on a very busy street. If you go around the block towards supremo supermarket you’ll be able to find a wider variety of parking.“

“While as you like, it doesn't overwhelm with exotic flavors, The ice cream is a good quality, and its location in a walkable part of Raritan, with nearby access to the pedestrian bridge over the river makes it one of the better ice cream destinations in the area.“

“Great place! Friendly staff“

“Shake Shack is a fast food restaurant so I was surprised when I received 5 star customer service thanks in part to one of their workers, Jonathan. He was friendly, helped when I need it and was an overall kind person. The food was also amazing but that’s a given at Shake Shack.“

“This storefront location is home to many delicious flavors making it challenging to choose. The young staff works hard, is often perky but perhaps would profit from a bit more training. Staff scoops remains of one container onto the fresh one; the leftovers are unattractive and we try to avoid those flavors . Best coffee and chocolate around..glorious cherry vanilla.“

“This is a cite place. Didn't know about it. You can be served inside or out. There is a decent size seating area to eat. They have a great selection of ice cream and toppings. I'm usually a sprinkle guy but decided to try the cotton candy and simple soft serve vanilla. It was really good. I do plan on going back for the hard serve ice cream, seeing as there are flavors there I have not seen and would like to try.“

“Stone house is a nice restaurant for cocktails and dinner. The ambiance is amazing, service was great. The food was portioned well and reasonably priced for a higher end restaurant. The food itself was good but nothing spectacular. Ordered the porterhouse which was slightly over cooked and the short rib which was a little dry. Would definitely recommend the restaurant, especially in the warmer weather when the patio will be open.“

“Ice cream was good, but that wasn’t what earned this 5 star review. The service was absolutely incredible and deserves far more than 5 stars. The attention to detail and performance from the worker who assisted me was outstanding. The care and thoughtful professionalism will keep me coming back for years to come! The worker named olivia is genuinely the best server I’ve had in my 42 years of life, truly amazing. THANKS CARLS CORNER!“

“I ordered chocolate marshmallow ice cream with Oreos on top. Overall, it was a decent ice cream. I was a little disappointed it was not homemade, and they get all of it from Hershey. I originally asked for peanut butter sauce as a topping and they did not have that, which disappointed me. I ordered a small and the portion was generous, so I was pretty happy. I would go back if i was in walking distance, but definety would not drive to come back again.“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

“Very good! I got a small cone of the pistachio gelato. It was pricy but the portion was respectable and the flavor was great.I am not picky about pistachio flavor - I love cheap artificial pistachio flavor just as much as authentic pistachio flavor. But I have to give credit, this was proper pistachio. I also liked that the pistachio pieces were small. I prefer small pieces to whole pistachios.I am looking forward to going back and trying other flavors!“

“Forget the rest, Rita's Italian Ice reigns supreme in the world of refreshing, flavorful treats. Here's why Rita's blows the competition away:Flavor Frenzy: Walk into a Rita's and you're hit with a wave of mouthwatering options. They have a ridiculous (in the best way) variety of flavors, from classic mango and cherry to out-there picks like cotton candy watermelon. Plus, they rotate seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to try.Real Fruit Fusion: Unlike some Italian ices that taste vaguely fruity, Rita's packs a punch of real fruit flavor. You can practically taste the sunshine in every single bite.Texture that Tantalizes: Rita's Italian ice is unlike anything else. It's smooth and creamy, but with a delightful, light, and refreshing texture. It's the perfect balance between icy cool-down and flavor explosion.The Custard Combo: Rita's doesn't stop at just Italian ice. They offer delicious frozen custard, and the combo of the two, their signature Gelati, is pure magic. Creamy custard cools down the vibrant ice, creating a textural and taste bud party.Sweet for Every Sweet Tooth: With so many flavors and portion options, Rita's caters to everyone. Want a full-on brain freeze? Grab a large cup. Craving a lighter treat? They have sugar-free options too.Sure, you might find Italian ice elsewhere, but Rita's takes it to a whole new level. It's a delicious experience that keeps you coming back for more. So next time you're craving a cool treat, skip the generic and head to Rita's. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“I have been working at Dolce Gelato for about 3 months. I really love this job becauseit's a nice little cozy cafe in a nice location in Somerville;these are the smiles of children who are happy that their parents brought them to a cafe to enjoy gelato;it is the aroma of the best Italian coffee that adults come for...I am very happy for every visitor and try to provide the best service from myself. Sorry for my English, I'm learning it every day, but it's still not enough.Everyone is welcome to visit Dolce Gelato for a cup of coffee with a sandwich or a delicious Italian dessert of your choice!I thank all visitors for their comments on this site and said simply in the face! I'm so sorry Emily DOE that I upset you so much by giving you 4 quarters instead of 1 paper dollar. I didn't have any more singles in the cash register at the time. But I gave you and your friend the correct change. I hope you will come again and I will try to find the change in bills that you like. Thank you for your comment!“

“I love Rita's no matter which location, however I need to leave a review for the staff here. Two young ladies, one with a ponytail and a huge smile who was so good with everyone she served. Funny and charming and legitimately enjoys her job.“
