Ice Cream Shops near Branchburg

“The weather was nice today. Sun was out, the sunroof was open. Went for a drive with my niece and stopped in to Sweet Parlor Ice Cream Shop in Hilllsborough for some sweet treats. I had not been through Hillsborough in a while and decided to check out was was new in town to me. This place was great! They had some unique offerings that I took an interest in immediately. We decided to try the U-Be My Bae Sundae and the Sweet Tea Bubble Waffle Sundae. They looked great, and more importantly tasted even better! Not overly sweet and the different textures of crunch, creamy, and soft bites were all present and quite pleasant. I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Thank you Sweet Parlor for tending to my craving!“

“My husband and I came for our 5th anniversary and had the best service and the meal was better than we could have imagined!!! We had Ellie as a server and Mike as a bartender, and it was the best experience we’ve had at restaurant since before Covid. The Stella pizza and octopus appetizers were recommended by the staff and they did not steer us wrong! The drinks were well made and the ambience was perfect!“

“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.“

“omg the best decision i made was to chose your bakery, i ordered the barbie cake with red velvet and strawberry buttercream frosting,the cake was sooo good , it was soo moist and daughter absolutely loved it , would definitely come back for more , thank you very “

“Now that I don't work here anymore... I can be honest....kidding!Best staff ever and the ice cream is really good. My go-to is either the Lost in the Woods, Boro Blast, or H.E.S Mess fusion. But I do also LOVE the pumpkin cheesecake fusion in the fall! My favorite flavor has to be Lil Blue Panda so yummy so good. I am so sad I moved so I won't be able to leave my house and get some ice cream in 3 minutes :( Best ice cream shop in town!!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend for everyone to try“

“How have I never reviewed a place that I have been going to for YEARS?! Honestly the best ice cream around. I know many have their own opinions on other places within a good radius of Polar Cub, but nothing has ever topped them and I have been to them all! Good price, good portion sizes. I even used to get extras for the dogs (when I had dogs). Nice little seating area as well. My preference here is definitely a good strawberry sundae with Soft Vanilla Ice Cream. Not sure what they do with that, but it tastes amazing. The only downsides I can think of are the parking situation. If it's a busy day, expect to park on the side of Rt. 22. Also, it's cash only.. so be ready with cash on hand! Othe than that, it's a perfect little place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My sister and I visited Super Sundaes for the first time and it completely lives up to its stellar reviews. The owners, Jane and Steve, are community minded shop owners who serve up the best ice cream treats. They create beautiful and delicious cakes, unique sundaes, Dole pineapple whip that transports you to Disney World, and a gazillion other creative concoctions. We sampled both the hard and soft icecream and brought plenty home for when the craving strikes. A++++ experience. Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“One of my favorite ice cream shops—period. Their flavors are rich and not overly sweet. Some of my favorites have been tiramisu, cotton candy, and of course, pistachio. Pistachio is the flavor I usually reserve for gelato, but it’s so good here that the flavor lasts several hours later. Their cotton candy literally tastes like frozen cotton candy, but somehow with a more intense flavor. It’s strange, and not the usually flavor of choice for me. But here, it’s worth it!If you drive between Philly and NY, it’s worth going out of your way for, and I can’t wait to be back.“

“Rita’s is a great ice cream shop which also serves Italian ice! My favorite thing to get here is a cotton candy Italian ice with cotton candy custard on top. It’s good for the summer and it’s just a quick stop. No walking inside needed. You can take it on the go or eat outside at their outdoor tables. It makes my day sweeter every time I go here ❤️“

“Great customer service! This is a cute mom and pop frozen yogurt spot. My partner and I stopped by for a smoothie and the worker allowed my bf to put as much protein powder as he wanted and even gave us the extra smoothie free of charge. The worker had a great attitude and made our night :)“

“This is an amazing carvels, I've never heard of carvels until i went to this exact one with my boyfriend. the lady is so sweet and got along with me and my boyfriend very well, she was open and honest, and spoke truthfully of the troubles that can come along working alone. she works very hard day to day and her ice cream is always the best. she is def one to visits. she's at least the only carvels i will go to!“

“I was seen very quickly by the staff and they answered all of my questions about sizes and specials. Kyle happened to be the gentleman who helped me. He was quick and polite. A real pleasure. I felt really bad that I was unable to tip him or the great staff there using my card. Knowing that most don’t carry cash after Covid-19 (because let’s be honest, money was dirty before the pandemic) it seems unfair that the staff is unable to get tips via another method. People who work customer service jobs deserve to be able to receive tips for making sure the customers are taken care of. Thank you so much to the staff for always being polite and quick with every order we requested.“

“THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER I GO THERE ALMOST EVERYDAY AND THE SERVICE IS AMAZING THEY’RE THE BEST. THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING AND I WOULD GO THERE EVEN MORE THAN I DO IF I COULD AFFORD IT. TI THE PEOPLE WHO RATED THIS 2 STARS I’M NOT GOING TO SHARE MY CRAYONS WITH YOU.“
