Ice Cream Shops near Metuchen

“Super good! Me and my siblings went during the night a few weeks back when it was really nice out and the place was packed!!! The workers were super attentive and very apologetic about the wait time (which we understood since it was INSANE) the ice cream was absolutely delicious. I got the baileys flavor and was blown away by it! I will be coming back as much as my bank account and doctor will allow ? I highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to have great service and amazing ice cream.“

“Great Italian ice with custard, many flavors and good quality. Friendly service. Nice milkshakes. The only problem was no seating at all, also the location is not super inviting but you can have a stroll to the nearby Whole Foods while eating the ice cream.“

“I had not been to friendly's in ages because the ones closest to me or closed. I went with what I always used to get at friendly's which was a patty melt with American cheese instead of Swiss and a chocolate Fribble and it did not disappoint. Just like the old days.“

“**Delightful Crepes and Cozy Atmosphere**My visit to Icy Melon was a delightful experience from start to finish. The cozy atmosphere, with its charming decor and welcoming ambiance, immediately set the stage for a memorable meal.The menu boasted an impressive array of sweet and savory crepes, and desserts making it difficult to choose. I finally settled on thevqmazong signature crepe, which did not disappoint. The crepe was perfectly made, with just the right amount of filling, and the flavors were exquisite.Overall, my visit to Icy Melon was a delightful adventure since I travel to different locations for great food ,The quality of the food, the inviting atmosphere, and Joel’s friendly service all combined to make it a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be returning to sample more of their delicious offerings.“

“The most delicious crepe you will ever have. Large portions, perfectly filled, the batter is light and spongy, not overly dense or too crispy. Just right. My favorite is the Ferrero Rocher. The black raspberry and coconut ice cream are superb. Best dessert spot in town.“

“Came by with a friend while visiting the area. Such a wonderful place with a great vibe. Tristan is awesome and helped me choose a great drink. He took time to make it right and I very much enjoyed it. Tip for the owners: try to put tables outside. This place is easy to miss and it shouldn’t be missed because it’s actually good.“

“It was our first time going here and we were very impressed by the flavors. My wife tried a vegan flavor and she said it was one of the best ones she’s ever had. As we walked up to the store, we saw the owner cleaning up the outside and while we were sitting inside, we saw him cleaning up as well (bonus points), you can tell he wants to keep his shop clean. Excellent customer service and flavors, we will definitely come back!!“

“I'm so glad that there are still local ice cream places like this in the state, and you don't even have to be near the shore.If you're looking for some classic ice cream this is the place to go.Staff was friendly, flavors were plenty, and overall it was so darn good.I got the Nutella graham and I recommend it. It'll be my local go to for the near future.“

“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!“

“Let’s start off with how clever the name of this place is. I wish that the mochi doughnuts were a lil more gummy texture (that’s just my preference) it didn’t taste fresh. Other than that the flavor on top was very delicious. The flavors were strawberry cheesecake, matcha, milk&cookies, tiramisu; blueberry & taro. The Kdogs were amazing especially the sauces they have out by the entrance.. top tier! Definitely coming back for the Kdogs!“

“Scoop to My Lou is the genuine depiction of your friendly neighborhood ice cream shop. It was truly such an amazing ending to my partner and I’s lunch date in East Brunswick! When we walked in I couldn’t resist to poke around at all the ice cream flavors in their display cases as well as other fun goodies they had in their to go fridges like ice cream pints, ice cream pies, and ice cream cookies! You can’t help but feel like a little kid all giddy deciding what flavor you want! Worker Chelsea greeted us with the sweetest smile and the most amazing customer service by giving us an ample amount of suggestions and samples of the flavors they have. So happy to have come in and will definitely find myself back in East Brunswick again for these sweet treats and sweeter service! ◡̈“

“Dee's Cookies will single handedly achieve what my therapist has been trying to do for years - cheer me up.Dee's Cookies will also single handedly achieve what my grandma has been trying to do for years - fatten me up.Finally, gift giving has gotten so much easier - everyone gets a box of cookies for their birthday now, and it's always a hit.6 stars.“

“I'm lactose intolerant...This place is worth the stomachache. Their Hershey ice cream is to die for. They serve sundaes and cakes and an apple pie cake? Like I've never heard of that, and it's killer. The owners of the place are such kind people and the workers are extremely patient and helpful. I would go here again 100%.“

“An employee here named Mark was super nice, he brought out our food and when we needed anything that we couldn’t access ourself he got it for us. He has a very positive attitude and makes each costumer feel cared about. Definitely recommend the fries and dining in. Has diner vibes and is very cute and homey.“

“Loving everything about this cafe. Honestly it’s amazing of different things you can get from here besides coffee. Fell in love with strawberry matcha latte iced. Great waffles and egg/cheddar sandwich. It honestly a peaceful/calm experience. Family friendly as well so definitely check this place out.Parking: It’s okay with parking just depends on the day I think and timing“

“Awesome place! Cool people and so many great flavors. The Peanut Butter Cup ice cream tastes just like a Reese's. My favorite is by far Nutella. So amazing. The S'moreo was also really really good. My daughter ate up the Cotton Candy ice cream. Can't wait to go back!!!“

“This was my first time coming to faaji with a couple of friend’s. We had a very pleasant experience starting from their valet service to the vibe we had inside. The servers was great & loved the music. I recommend this place to anyone who want to have a great time out.“

“Cozy shop with really cute aesthetics. They do soft serve on tea and have ice cream! The teas are reasonably priced. The matcha was very good. Toppings choices aren't as numerous as other places but that's ok because they have ice cream.Parking: It's a little tight since it's the strip malls part of Edison. There's a light to make a left out of it so it's not very hard to get out. Just not very many spots. Unknown if there's parking in the rear“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

“I've been in here a twice since they opened and this place is great. They have a wide selection of bubble tea options as well as ice cream (rolled) and other snacks. The first time I came, I got the lychee slushie with tapioca boba, which was really good. Next I got the chocolate chip rolled ice cream with m&m's, which was pretty good too. The owner is very friendly and actually remembered me when I came in the second time (maybe a month in between visits). They have a loyalty punch card for ice cream and drinks and several games in their retro seating area. There are some old school games and a little plastic axe throwing area which would be fun for kids. If you're looking for a yummy treat, give this place a try. It's their second location and the owner is very friendly, serving up tasty treats.“

“Nice little ice cream shop. They have a wide selection of Hershey's flavors with good pricing and generous portions. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have some outdoor tables or you can cross the street and watch the boats and water from many benches or the docks.“

“That tres leches cake was the bomb! Crumbl needs to make it a regular thing. I like the weekly menu but they should have some (1-2) classics that stay every week. Also, there was a peanut butter banana cookie that blew my mind a while back. Haven’t seen it since. Sometimes more isn’t better.“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“This is such a fun spot!! I live only a couple of minutes away and never really thought to try it out... the other day I wanted some fro-yo and decided to try out the Fro-Yo Cafe! Stopping in just made my whole day better, it was such a great experience! First off, the decor and ambience in the little shop is adorable and even has a little fish tank in the seating area!! Second off, all of the flavors were unique and not your basic vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry type of thing. They have cherry tart, s'mores, fudge brownie, cake batter...! And this fro-yo was sooo good! it was light and airy with authentic flavors that didn't taste too rich or overbearingly sweet. Last but definitely not least, the TOPPINGS !!! Something about the layout and selection of their toppings just made my mind go wild! There were so many to look at and I was overwhelmed with the amount of delicious options! after some careful decisions, I decided on some cookie dough bites and waffle cone crumbles but I could have gone MUCH crazier! One last thing to mention is the super friendly and helpful service! Also not sure if it mattered, but when I went it was pretty quite, it was a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm. And fairly priced, too! a bowl that I was able to share was only $5! can't wait to come back!!“

“They had a variety of options and each thing was unique in terms of flavors than the other. You cannot go wrong with any combination. The combo was the most effective way to order a little bit of everything since the jars included cake and ice cream and you can add a milk tea for just $1. In all the taste was great and not too sweet.“

“Really nice Easter buffet with great service particularly from the waiters and those working at the stations, a wide variety of well prepared options, and even a visit from the Easter bunny giving out candy filled eggs to the kids. In reference to another review complaining about no potato at the carving station and the timing of food being put out, everything was precisely as described on the menu posted online when you made the reservation, including seamlessly closing off some breakfast stations and opening some dinner stations at 3 o'clock. Exceeded expectations.“

“Customer service is good, the workers are very friendly and acknowledge and greets the customers when they walk in the door.Place is very clean.Only down fall is that it should be a Customer limit in the store at one time, because it's a small place and people stand practically on top of one another.“

“Good burgers, so delicious, I ordered Korean Burger and Avocado Bacon burger. The Beef was so tender and taste of the sauce so good. I also ordered chocolate milk shakes with marshmallow on it. The place is clean, good service, helpful staffs. Oh and the restroom is very clean. I will come again“

“Our waiter George was the best. Great service and patience for our 10 person party. They sang for our daughter and all of the food was delicious. Highly recommend this friendlys location in Clark. Dining room is updated and clean. Bathrooms are clean as well.“

“I've been coming to this location for about a year and some change, and everytime I come here the staff is so cool. Today I came by and a new hire rung me up- who was pretty cool, by the way. She took my order and she made sure the details were right down to the letter, then got started. This location is my favourite only because everyone here is so cool. \m/“

“We ordered the new Ultimate Cookie Blizzard and it was amazing! We even met the owner, Lou, and his daughter, Donna, and they were great to chat with. We sat outside, enjoying our Blizzards. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors as well as parking.“

“Amazing little shop , DON'T miss it behind the house! Lovely owner even stayed open past closing for me to run in & grab some "Yummy" treats ! The almond joy ice cream novelty was to die for , split in 3rds tells you just how big it was, and eaten immediately. Along with a raspberry sorbet in chocolate was delicious on a hot day. We literally couldn't wait & each grabbed a spoon to taste the birthday cake ice cream pint the owner treated my daughter too! Again, nothing short of fabulous! We're holding off on the amazing looking ice cream pie for my birthday on Sunday- I'll let you know , but looks outstanding!“

“WOW! Absolutely phenomenal service! The staff do everything they can to help out and are extremely friendly. The ice is always fresh and the custard is ????. My favorite is the chocolate custard and the ice is super refreshing. I highly recommend this Ritas and suggest visiting if you’re in the area“

“Great selection of hard and soft-serve ice cream. A vanilla and chocolate ice cream sundae with lots of black cherry topping is the best!?Custom made ice cream cakes are available from small to full sheetcake sizes and are reasonably priced.“

“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.“

“Best soft serve I have ever had!!! Honestly... I can't say enough good things about this place. To say I was pleasantly surprised I'd an understatement. I got a soft serve swirl with cookie dough bites and it was delicious. The ice cream is perfectly creamy, and the vanilla had an almost marshmallow-y taste to it. It also sort of reminded me of the cream inside an Oreo. Perfectly balanced between creamy and cold- it didn't taste watered down or too "Icy". My mom and my 16 month old also agreed. (Ok, my mom agreed. My son was a fan but he doesn't quite understand just how good it was yet.) My son didn't finish his, so we brought it back with us to upstate NY. Yes, it was good enough to save in the freezer at our hotel and then to shlep back home so I could enjoy one more time. And also so my husband could try it since I couldn't stop raving about it. Also worth noting- I'm very impressed at their variety. They have lots of soft serve and hard ice cream flavors. I hope I have another work trip that brings me back, cause I will be dreaming of this ice cream until then!“

“I was so eager to try the rolled ice cream that I never took a picture. Sorry ? but….the staff was excellent, the different frozen treats and options of flavors and toppings…. immaculate.My overall is a definite 10 out of 10Parking: There was enough parking to supply an entire mall, which is where it’s located in a small shopping closet, but it has a grand amount of enjoyment there.“

“I messed up and never finished booking with them for the preschool that I run. I didn't realize until day of, and thought I was going to have over 100 disappointed children and 30 disappointed teachers. Rasheedah allowed me to book day of and showed up on less than 3 hours notice! She saved the day! Everyone was happy with their yummy ice cream treats! Thank you so much Rasheedah! I promise I will remember to book in advance for next summer!“

“This place was a suggestion on Google on our way home from the beach. With seemingly high reviews, I felt this was a place worth checking out.Believe the hype, me hearties!The owner seems like a solid guy. Real personable, and had a conversation with us. Offered us a couple samples too.The wide array of flavors of hard ice cream were really impressive. I got the thin mint/mint cookies and cream, the wife got a cone with espresso bean ice cream. Both of us were more than satisfied with what we ate. I don't think you can go wrong with a place like this.“

“Multiple options of types, sizes and toppings for ice creams both soft serve and scoops. They handle the queue pretty well, the place is cash only. Soft serve was really good and the cookies and cream scoop was good as well. Nice for a post meal ice cream run..“

“I liked this quaint lil ice cream or bubble tea spot in Woodbridge mall. We had some wait for seaquest and while waiting decided to try their waffles with ice cream. I ordered the chocolate waffle and asked them to replace m&ms with mangoes. They did charge me extra for the mangoes though. Overall the waffle was freshly made and the ice-cream was good too! Nothing to not like about an ice-cream and a waffle!“

“What a great ice cream shop!! We live bringing our grandson here when we’re in town! We recently purchased an ice cream cake that was absolutely perfect!! No dry cake filler just ALL ice cream! You can pick two flavors. When ordering, she was very patient and helpful! This is definitely one of our “go to” places!!!“

“Poppy Joe took me out to diary queen to surprise me with a pe-nut buster! Each luscious swirl of their velvety soft-serve stands as a testament to the epitome of frozen dairy artistry, encapsulating a symphony of flavors that dance upon the taste buds with unparalleled finesse. In this gastronomic kingdom, Dairy Queen reigns supreme, a true paragon of frozen dessert majesty. I give my compliments to the chef!Parking: Truly divine valet parkingKid-friendliness: The employees had a smile at all timesWheelchair accessibility: No stairs!“

“I highly recommend Magliones Italian ice (makers of Little Jimmys) to any who want to start an Italian Ice business! Before we formed our own company (Sea Breeze Italian Ice), we were selling Little Jimmys, under their name and logo. We still use their ice to this day, and will continue to do so, as long as we starve Ice! They make the best Italian ice in the entire industry, and everyone living here in ** who grew up in the ** area, knows that name!“

“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.“

“I’m giving 5 stars although I did not like what I saw tonight. I was in line with my kids and this man with his wife and kid were at a window. The man was yelling at the employee and from the beginning he had a very nasty attitude. Even if something was wrong he had no right to scream at this young girl who was trying to help him. Never in the years i’ve come to this rita’s have I seen someone act this way especially with the amazing workers they have. Props to the other girls inside who tried to laugh it off.“

“TLDR: standard local ice cream with reasonable prices Dari Delite is your average local ice cream spot. The ice cream itself tastes like it's bought from a supplier - not made in house, so it doesn't taste special. What you see is what you get here; there aren't any hidden gems, but if you're looking for ice cream in the area, this will do. I rated it slightly higher because as of the time of this post the prices are reasonable. Tip: some years they close shop during the colder seasons.“

“I had an amazing experience at Carvel! Their flavors are unmatched and unlike any other place. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and exceptional service from the staff. It's evident that they genuinely care about their customers and are willing to go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and satisfied. I highly recommend Carvel to anyone looking for delicious ice cream and outstanding service. You won't be disappointed!“

“I ordered a custom sheet cake for my daughter’s birthday and the store did a great job. We had a design and swapped one of the flavors out from their originals. The additional costs were very reasonable and the cake looked great! We live a bit far so I couldn’t come in person to order it but was able to communicate with the owner via email and phone. We were super happy with it and would definitely order from them again.“

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience! The fusion of bubble tea and coffee offerings here is a match made in heaven. From the moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me.Their bubble tea selection is extensive, offering a delightful range of flavors that cater to both traditionalists and adventurous taste buds. The tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy, providing that satisfying texture I always look for in a good bubble tea.“
