Looks can be deceiving. I thought this quaint ice cream "parlour" actually was serving real homemade ice cream and with any luck, gelato. I was disappointed to find out that they serve HERSEYS ice cream (ick!). And when my7 year ordered one scoop, and I ordered a scoop the server said 8 bucks - but wait...The young ma behind the counter said 8 dollars was only for my sons scoop! And mine would be another 7 dollars and change. After I already asked to pay forBoth first. Give me a break. 2 scoops of Crap ice cream for 15 plus dollars?And to think I gave the server a tip... 2 scoops Total ofHERSEYS ice cream for 15 dollars. They are out ofTheir mind. I guess the tourists don't know any better!

This is almost the worst I've cream experience I've ever had. I wanted really creamy ice cream. Instead, I got hard ice cream full of ice chips and watery soft ice cream full of tiny pieces of unmixed.I had ordered the dulce de leche on the bottom and soft chocolate and vanilla twist on top in a cone. But when she went to put the soft ice cream on top it came out in a circle around the edge instead of a normal ice cream swirl. And she put it on a cup, which was fine, but she went to add a swirl on top but the soft ice cream was unfinished. I told the girls that something was wrong with the ice cream and said it was having problems. I don't know why you would serve this.

We only tried the ice cream here so I can't speak for the food...however, the ice cream was delicious! There were so many flavors and even more options for toppings. You could get anything from sprinkles, to brownie pieces, to crushed cannoli or jelly beans! I tried the brookie blast with Nestle CRUNCH, and it was essentially a chocolate lover's dream. Every bite had an explosion of cookie dough and brownie bites. My sister tried a new flavor, sugar cookie, and she said the taste was similar to that of the animal crackers with icing. That scoop was loaded with cookie pieces and rainbow sprinkles (bit that didn't stop my sister from ordering extra sprinkles on top!) My mom had bourbon brown butter truffle, a unique flavor that I haven't seen at any of the other ice cream shops around here. We all ordered small cups, but we got heaping scoops that were almost overflowing the cup! The only downside of our visit was the service. When we arrived, there was a line out the door and into the street. After waiting about ten minutes, we still hadn't moved a step. After 20 minutes or so, it was finally our turn to order. However, the girl scooping our ice cream was very polite and gave us a ton of ice cream.

Delicious freezer-burned Hershey ice cream!!! The only good thing about this place was the variety of flavors, but they are out of literally every flavor all of the time. This is not a new issue either. This has happened numerous times in the last few years and has gone uncorrected.Chocolate? Nope.Soft serve chocolate? Machine broke.Chocolate marshmallow? All out.Black cherry? Try again.Rootbeer float? No more rootbeer.Maybe start by telling me what you DO have! How does an ice cream place run out of chocolate? These Lavallette CLAMS need to get a grip!!!

I don’t leave reviews normally but this ice cream place is too good. Best ice cream in new jersey.

Stopped in the other day for breakfast/brunch. Found out it's a coffee bar with a clothes boutique in the back. Went to the Sand Dollar next door for a good meal. So I can't give a review on this place of business.

WOW! Definitely 5 stars! Delicious, flavorful, fresh... this place is amazing! I had one of the dinner specials.. scallops with an avocado cucumber salad. I would say they were the best scallops I've ever had. I wish I had more!My husband got the NY strip and said it was also fabulous! It is a BYOB and is dog friendly! And then we obviously followed it up with some ice cream! Everything was fabulous!!!I can't wait to go back to try the sushi! ?
After passing this place for a few years because it doesn't really appear to be a restaurant and more of just an ice cream place that sells food. The menu is great, the food was excellent and the young waitress was very nice. The place would benefit from a little more mature managment to make sure the timing was better and the service was more consistent. We will come back especially at times is hard to find a reservation.

This place hits all of the marks for a feast place to have dinner and dessert. The menu is broad but not so big you can't figure out what to order. The sushi is next level made with care by a true experienced professional sushi chef who's artistic presentation makes it look as good as it tastes. The non sushi menu is crafted with thought and care and top notch. The sides and appetizers are ALL excellent. This summer I've eaten here at least 10 times and I will keep going back. The staff is nice and friendly and genuine. The selection of ice cream is HUGE and all fresh made flavors. There are many places to get coffee on the island but this place makes a great espresso and other coffee cafe drinks and you usually don't have to wait in any long lines. It's really really worth it!

Great ambiance staff is friendly. The coffee is hot and fresh. My favorite is the pistachio iced latte. They now are offering a breakfast menu which is quick and easy for a grab and go. Definitely will be back.

Not bad sushi a little pricy, but it's sushi. You Must try there surf and turf roll and the coconut shrimp roll those are well worth it!!!

Really poor service, was told 10 minute wait. Then a group (who showed up 10 minutes after us) got sat before and we were told to wait longer. We were handed menus and ignored after so we left!
Great ice cream
