25 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fair Haven

“Mr. Brain Freeze is the best. You can text him to come and he’ll let you know when he’s near so you don’t have to hope for the ice cream truck. We’ve also used him for parties and PTO school events. He is always on time for events and very kind. His prices are fair and his selection is amazing.“

“This place is ?. The brown sugar cookie dough would have been enough for an EASY 5 stars, but I also tried peanut butter palooza and coffee crunch, both of which were super flavorful and delicious. This ice cream is RICH - although surprisingly the prices were not. 3 scoops in a large cup for $5.95 is a win all around. The spoons were sturdy, I didn't try a cone because I only saw homemade waffle which looked awesome but unfortunately the one downfall of this place is that they're cash only and I was already scrounging to afford my much needed ice cream. Pst - A lot of only cash places have started taking Venmo. Although they do have an ATM inside at least.“

“The best vegan ice cream in New Jersey! This creamery is truly one-of-a-kind with their vegan and gluten-free creations. In addition to their ice cream, their cookies and olive oil brownie are must-try items. I love how they have seasonal and holiday specials as well. So lucky to have such a great local spot that fits my dietary needs!“

“Was in the Atlantic highlands area and decided to stop for some ice cream.... so happy we did. The ice cream was to die for. Nicholas's creamy had so many options and you could definitely tell that the quality of the ice cream was top notch. The service was excellent and the location couldn't have been better. They even had some seating available, cute little ice cream shop. Thanks for making this night one to remember.“

“Had to write a review of this place, it was so good! I got mint chip, and my dad got s'mores. The s'mores was so good I nearly bought my own! And the mint chip is one of the best I've ever gotten. Absolutely recommend going here, I'll be going back for sure! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.“

“I'm not the biggest fan of strollo's because they don't serve hard ice-cream. But they have alot of great toppings for your soft ice-cream. I never tried their Italian ice, so I can't comment on that. The place is always packed though.“

“I have been a Lighthouse Italian Ice fan for my entire life. I believe this Lighthouse location makes the most delicious ice and ice cream. Kevin uses fresh fruit when in season to make some of his ices and ice creams. I think it's the best Lighthouse there is!“

“My sil brought the party box over and omg the oatmeal mallow sandwich was amazing!!! The crumbl by me was not a great experience because the cookies were dry and a bit sweet, this location and getting 12 cookies proved me wrong that even though it is a chain, certain stores execute better than other. Would reco this and the oatmeal cookie, it's soft and chewy and so yummy“

“I don’t believe this place is amazing ? better than any similar place for me.She’s a great person and ice cream is so delicious, creamy, tasty and the chocolates made like different earth! ?Thank you so much your service and please keep open forever. ?Perfect clean and decorating ?? gorgeous“

“A combination of chic and retro. The decor and the ambience alone make you feel good. The creative and wide selection of ice cream possibilities make for a superb outing with friends or a soothing retreat if you're on your own like me. Today I'm having cookies and cream in seltzer, as I battle the humidity and delude myself about cutting calories. Bottom line: refreshing and fun!“

“Was searching for poke and JJ Delicacies came up. Tried it based on reviews (Yelpers haven't steered me wrong yet!) and this place was so good! I built my own bowl with 2 proteins. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portion was generous. The spicy salmon and spicy tuna were flavorful and the house sauce was the perfect addition. Will absolutely return! The service was fast and friendly. I took out, but there are a few seating options for those who want to eat in.“

“Went here for the first time this weekend and it was well worth the trip ! I got the nachos ice cream box with Whoopie pie strawberries and cream and cookies n cream all flavors were amazing the hot fudge was so good ! Definitely will be coming back“

“Best dairy queen ever! the blizzard that I had delivered was what i asked for. it Is to die for, they do not use syrup in their ice cream which makes it 100% original and the staff would stop what they are doing on the spot for the customers 10/10“

“With several locations along the Jersey Shore, this Middletown location is the newest. Huge, bright, airy, and busy but no seating on the inside which is kinda sad because I wanted to enjoy my ice cream while looking at what other flavors I should get next. Your only option is either the two benches outside or your car. The servers looked tired but the young man who helped me was nice enough. I picked the Vegan Speculoos Cookie which was AMAZING! The texture was different but the flavor was all there! $5 and some change for a small. I scream, you cream...“

“My second time here and despite not having coconut ice on the menu I was super impressed by the service again! I don't remember the name of the young man who helped me the first time but Michaela was an absolute gem, super polite had great energy and attitude even late in the day!“

“The food is absolutely incredible! The King Crepe may be one of the best it jersey. Would totally recommend. Staff were friendly, service was quick. It's quite small inside but has a fantastic aroma from the kitchen in the back. I would come here every day if I could. Would totally recommend!“

“When I tell you that this is some of the best soft serve ice cream that I've ever tasted.. I'm just really glad that this place is about 35 mins from me, so that I'm not pressed to visit a couple of times a week. LOL. Came here after a day at the beautiful Seven Presidents Beach.. and it was the perfect way to cool off before ending our day. Very friendly and accommodating service. They were generous and understanding with our very indecisive girls who needed refills of sprinkles lol. Very clean areas to sit down and eat your delicious treats. I ordered the pistachio Italian ice which was very interesting.. non dairy but was tasty. But, it was the sample of the vanilla soft serve that took me over the top... but, I'd already placed my order and didn't want to be a greedy buzzard. Believe me, when I'm back at the shore.. I will beeline to get a full serving of it.“

“This is one of my favorite chocolatiers. Every time that I'm in Red Bank, I stock up on my raspberry truffles! The young staff members are ALWAYS courteous, beyond helpful, and patient. The shop has every item imaginable. From gift boxes, many types of sweets, and... of course... my world famous dark chocolate raspberry truffles. Go out of your way to stop into Chocolate Works. You'll enjoy everything inside and will be treated very well.“

“I grew up with Ralph's Italian Ices on Staten Island back in the day. It has been 20yrs since I've last had the sweet delicious frozen treat that is Ralph's. I've been wanting to go back and get it for the longest time but haven't had the opportunity nor time or desire to make the trek back to SI. On a recent visit to my family living in the NJ area I saw that Ralph's has expanded. Went on a whim to try it to see if it is as good as I remembered. Spoiler: It is! I was so happy to see that it was still made and tasted the same. You will not find Italian ice like this anywhere but Ralph's.“

“These Frozen delicases are clearly a quality product. They are refreshing, and full of flavor. There are many varieties to choose from; one is sure to hit the spot no matter what mood you're in. Treat yourself once; and you'll be back for more!“

“Thank goodness I don't live very close to this ice cream parlor because I would be there every day. Six of us took a tour and decided to try the ice cream when we were done four of them had the black raspberry ice cream with black with chocolate chunks and I fudge over the top, it was delicious. I've tried the lemon bar with caramel. It was so good I've gone back twice. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. They explain everything and everything was wonderful.“

“Love the various creations... PB&J, peach cobbler, watermelon chocolate chunk, apple cider...the list goes on. Every few weeks the flavors change. Homemade waffle bowls & cones. Really thick shakes. They have a few locations. I suggest visiting.“

“Awesome little ice cream and shaved ice place in convention hall. Note- it's shaved ice- not Italian ice style. Both the small and large shaved ice are huge which is cool. Price is a bit high at $8 since it literally costs them next to nothing for ice and some juice mix but everything is out of control pricing nowadays. You can choose up to 3 flavors or just do one. Good selection of flavors. Ice cream is vegan and dairy free which is cool for those who can't do dairy or are vegan. Note if you want regular ice cream there's 2 places on the boardwalk that has that. Staff was friendly. Small tables to eat your ice cream at. Great way to cool off on a hot summer day.“

“Crazees is our favorite local ice cream place! In the summer its the best stop for a cool treat after the beach or after dinner. The amazing flavors of Thomas Sweet Ice Cream are delicious!Parking: Parking can get crowded during busy summer nights, but otherwise is usually never an issue.“
