This will be our new spot. Staff was friendly too!“

“I was visiting the store. The store manager Kadia was so nice so patient. She showed me all chocolate and explained the ingredients and taste. It was a very happy shopping experience. I liked the chocolate, liked the store and the nice lady Kadia. Definitely coming back again!“

“Absolutely a gem of a place! My daughter got a Cookie Monster milkshake and I got the most delicious mousse cake. Honestly there were so many choices we had to play Ennie Meenie Miney Mo to choose which one to get. Not pictured: the chocolate cupcake she devoured in 2 seconds. Run, don't walk, to Soulmate Cafe.“

“Ordered takeout:- Chocolate covered Strawberries (5/5)A) These travel beautifully well; B) The juicy, large strawberries enclosed in quality chocolate and a drizzle of white chocolate is the perfect way to end a meal. I would order these again in a heartbeat- Pistachio Waffle Stick (4/5)The pistachio topping, pistachio butter, and white chocolate drizzle made for a highly memorable combination of toppings. I would like to bottle up the pistachio butter they use. For takeout, the waffle did get soggy - somewhat like the bottom of an ice cream cone, and somewhat like choux pastry that's been sotting around. I prefer a fresh, crispy waffle component but this is the price you pay for takeout vs dining in store and having it fresh. Besides the waffle itself. This was a 5/5.“

“My family and I love love love Kubo. Since they opened, we def try to come here any time were in the area. My fave fave fave is the Ube Soft Serve with Taiyaki and boba. Their soft serve is just so creamy and flavorful. I haven't tried everything on their menu yet, but I def plan to. Posting a pic from our most recent visit last week.They have a small seating area, but in the warmer seasons they add some extra outside seating which is nice. Its always a great place for some pics, too.10/10 Highly recommend!“

“Took a second to find this place, but glad we did. Met the owner who personally makes the ice cream from locally sourced ingredients and with no artifical flavoring. Great tasting and not overly sweet or heavy. Perfect balance of freshness and flavor. This place really is one of best icream spots around.“

“Very cute spot and very lively! The service was VERY fast and well organized. It truly is chocolate heaven inside. The menu is extensive and they have many create your own options. I'd recommend eating there so that your crepe is hot. We took ours home, but next time we'll be staying! Their crepes are delicious and well stuffed. I just wish the crepe was cooked a BIT longer as it was a little bit too chewy and moist.“

“I’ve been coming here for over 2 years now and all I have to say is that this place never disappoints. They all have a smile and bring amazing energy to the customers. This is the only ice cream place I come to and I know others that came with me love it as “

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday with her friends and had an amazing experience. We got exceptional service and the bubble waffles and ice cream were a huge hit. The customer service was personal and phenomenal. Would definitely come back and recommend for a special and fun treat!“

“This place is an experience! We've been coming here as a family since the 1960s and now it's just tradition. Long before the Sopranos filmed here we were enjoying homemade ice cream, burgers, grilled cheeses, and turkey sandwiches. This is old-school, old vibes, but good food. The service has never been stellar but they do try. If you're in the neighborhood I highly recommend coming. Parking is on the street.“

“The service was quick and attentive despite being the only worker available. Everything in the location was clean and delicious. Overall, thankful for this late night bite! It was delicious, cost efficient, and a great source for ice-cream craving satisfaction!“

“Always such a delight to eat at Friendly’s considering how many they closed up. Never go wrong with a Patty Melt( it was taken off the menu for a while but happy to see it back) , a fishamajig melt, or a BBQ tenders melt. Then to finish off with a sundae with the best peanut butter sauce . Our server Harvey is always the greatest . We only visit a few times a year but always remembers us and greets us with such enthusiasm. Highly recommended !“

“Thank you to Sammy who handled customers with grace this evening (a Saturday evening in early April) where customers were lined up out the door! She was working alone and yet never stressed, lost her cool and worked tirelessly until everyone had their ice cream in hand. At a day and age where I wouldn't want my own daughter working alone, she was working tirelessly to ensure her customers were happy and didn't rush through despite the line behind her and anxiously awaiting customers. I was very impressed with her!!!“

“Great gelato flavors, great ice-cream and Italian ice. Classic flavors. However; I’m specifically here to rave about the cream puffs. They make the best cream puffs I have ever tasted. The fillings are absolutely amazing, fluffy. They are light and refreshing; and addicting. Highly recommend the pistachio flavor. I constantly crave these cream puffs, I go out of my way to get them, and send other people to get them for me. Great service as well, always very welcoming.“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream! Great service and fair prices for such a high quality product. This place is the real deal.Kid-friendliness: The man behind the counter gave my little girl a glow stick and a temporary tattoo and served us with smiles. We really appreciate Ice Cream places that cater to the kids!“

“I selfishly want to keep this place a little secret, but I know it's not right to do and so I must share my thoughts and quick review so that you may enjoy it too. My go-to coffee is usually black and nothing else. Instead I opted to try their "Hot Chai latte"and a choice of oat milk, half/half and milk and other options. I went with the half/half and It was absolutely delicious. Groundwork's Cafe is just the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself with their many food and drink options. The energy and vibe is exactly what I like to surround myself in. The cafe is extremely clean all around!!!! The staff members are beyond friendly and welcoming. There's off street meter parking and town meter parking lots within a short walking distance. What I ordered: Hot chai latte Chicken Colombian empanadas A small cup of Tomato Soup I LOVED IT ALL! My NEW FAVORITE PLACE and I'm looking forward to going back.“

“The best gelato in NJ hands down. I'm from Europe and always have a hard time finding authentic gelato, well this is it! I drive from NY to Gio's for the affogato with nocciola gelato, and my girls love the strawberry one. Delicious, local, and the owner/staff are wonderful people.“

“This Dairy Queen has superb customer service, every time I go there I feel so welcomed, and the staff is always ready and happy to help. I always get a chocolate Oreo blizzard and it’s always blended perfectly, it’s so delicious. Definitely will continue to go back to this Dairy Queen!!!“

“A hearty welcome to the newly re-opened Boathouse Cafe - now in previews w new management! The place was hopping, always a glamorous venue. I liked the wine list by the glasses, prices for everything were very reasonable! As we were dieting, I can't comment enough on the food, but big portions, well -cooked, coming out on time - a lot to ask for pre-opening! Best of luck to you and the New Yorkers who love that spot!“

“Outstanding breakfast. Mother's Day plans fell through last minute and looked at local spots to order breakfast from for takeout. Challah French Toast, turkey bacon/egg/cheese sandwich, chocolate chip pancakes - all top notch. From time I ordered through Door Dash order was ready for pickup in 20 min. Saved our Mother's Day morning and will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“Service and staff always are super! Friendly and helpful! I always show up and leave with a smile! The place is small and cute, neat and clean :) always recommend to friends and family when we're in the area.. a few times it also been with the little drive from me!“

“This place takes ice cream to the next level! They serve incredibly high-quality ice cream in massive portions. With a huge variety of flavors and toppings, you can create your own dream sundae. It's become a family favorite, perfect for satisfying our sweet tooth cravings and our annual Fourth of July tradition.“

“I used to go there with my family when I was a kid in the 50s it has since changed names from Rafetto's to Van Dyke's I can't imagine it's not the best ice cream in the world they used to serve cantaloupe ice cream that was just to kill .....................john Van Dam“

“The Ice Cream Lady is FANTASTIC!!! We had a party last summer and scheduled her to come by. She was on time, professional, friendly and everyone (kids and adults) were happy with their ice cream!! Thank you Monica we can't wait to see you again this summer!“

“I’ve been going to hometown creamery for atleast 1 or 2 years. My favorite flavor is chocolate caramel and recently I noticed it was out of stock so I emailed the owner and Dina got back to me immediately! I was pleased with the costumer service! I’m so thankful I’ve found such a wonderful creamery!“

“Around for a long time for a reason. Plus they have all the flavors you know and love. I love getting a black raspberry shake or maple walnut sundae. They have unbelievable selections and sugar free ice cream too. Another local classic. Fresh made ice cream that tastes like nothing else! Just the right balance of sweetness milk and flavor. Love this place. Cash only so keep that in mind!Dietary restrictions: Sugar free ice cream.Kid-friendliness: They don't have sit down but the place is enclosed.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat one level and plenty of room to navigate in and out.“

“I was here this past week and had some of the best Oreo ice cream that Ive had in a long time. On top of that the service was very good. My only complaint is that it’s 2024 and they still don’t accept debit card/apple pay . Regardless they get 5 stars & I would take this ice cream over the Dairy Queen down the block any day !!!“

“we are regulars here and this time i had a custom order and somehow we got the correct date but the day wrong. they got it fixes promptly and delivered at the intended time. not to mention the taste of the icecream cake… yum!!!! and the decorations were exactly as i had asked for.not expensive too.“

“Same great ice cream as Boonton, same owners, pricing, everything. This one is open later into the year (December vs November). So why does Boonton get the extra star? Most of all: indoors. Shorter wait, faster service, and you wait in a conditioned space to avoid summer heat and winter cold. Also, you get to see each of the flavors before you order. Here, you just go by the list and hope you picked right. So call me spoiled, because I live next to the best ice cream in North Jersey and here is only second best. But the noise of Route 23 and nowhere to really sit and enjoy yourself - it gets to me. 5 star ice cream if you're taking out, but don't even think about eating in. Oh, and don't order Italian ice. My friend got lemon and it had a bunch of red bits in it and didn't taste like lemon. I'm biased on ice thanks to a certain lady in Elizabeth but thought I would pass on his words to you.“

“Been going to Dairy Queen forever - nearly 60 years in more than a few different states... This place is very different from other Dairy Queens - the ice cream is much better tasting, sundaes are better, blizzards taste better. It tastes like Dairy Queen tasted when I was a kid - brought back a lot of memories. Great services, very friendly. Others have mentioned the prices are high - my wife and I thought they were cheaper than other Dairy Queens we've been at and the portions were better.“

“It's an amazing place, all kinds of mexican desserts and snacks, great service and fabulous people. Totally recommend.Very good place, totally recommended, there is a great variety of desserts and snacks, and the attention of the staff is excellent.“

“Let's YO! is the best place to go for frozen yogurt. The staff are super helpful and polite. The shop is very clean and there is a welcoming, friendly ambiance to the place. I had so many toppings to choose from and a nice variety of flavors to pick. The frozen yogurt tastes really good there. It was hard not to buy everything.Kid-friendliness: The music makes it feel kid-friendly.“

“I ordered one of the new smoothies this past monday and not only was it delicious the young girl working was excellent. this was my first time at creations and i had an amazing experience. she had dark brown hair and a contagious smile. the place was up to par when it comes to cleanliness and service. i will definitely be back!“

“This ice cream shop is a GEM! The variety of flavors is so impressive and each is delicious. We have LOVED Lavender Sky, Pistachio Rose, dairy free Pistachio, Rainbow Cookie, Cheesecake and a Rocky Road. Yummie :)Such a cute little spot for a quick drop in. I don’t see myself returning to a big chain ice cream shop again, this little spot tops them all by far. Enjoy!!“

“Randy’s Homemade Ice Cream is an amazing experience! Carefully crafted and unique flavors that are out of this world! You can’t leave with just one! So good! His Cookie Monster, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Cannoli flavors are just some of my favorites. A must visit! ??“

“I LOVED the ice cream here! And you have to get the waffle cone! Immediately upon stepping into the shop, you are hit with the smell of waffles, and the cones taste just as good they smell. I got the toasted coconut and cappuccino chocolate chip flavors, and both were delicious but my favorite was the toasted coconut. It was very unique and there were so many toasted coconut bits! The ice cream itself is rich and creamy. Definitely a key spot to go to in ridgewood“

“I love Italian ices and although I prefer CJ’s Ices in Bayonne, NJ, my boyfriend and I decided to stop at the Rita’s on Broad Street in Bloomfield yesterday.He got a pint-sized cotton candy and I got a large Swedish fish/cotton candy mixed. Absolutely delicious & refreshing, though I notice Rita’s ices melt considerably quicker than CJ’s & Ralph’s in Staten Island.The service is quick & efficient though the girls who work there tend to have a habit of slamming the window in your face once the transaction is completed, not giving the customer an opportunity to say “thank you.”One cool thing about this specific Rita’s is Holsten’s across the street, where the final scene of the last episode of the Sopranos was filmed. Have a bite there if you’re in the mood for possible cardiac arrest. ?“

“Where:269 Hamburg Tpk, Riverdale, NJWhat:Skinless Sabrett HotdogsComments:No idea what he does differently, but these are dirty-water-dogs at their best - great fresh toppings, great guy working the kitchen. This is a perfect quick stop in Riverdale, NJ. He's also got a vintage potato carving machine that he uses to made fresh curly fries, a bit pricey at $4.75 for an order but worth it. I stop here every chance I get.“

“My go to place for ice cream/gelato in Montclair!!! Consecutively I have gone to this place and have been pleased with great service and marvelous gelato every time !! I am a pretty big fan of ice cream , and this parlor's gelato is my favorite in the area!! Will forever go here every time I'm here!!!“

“I really like this place! I ordered their ice cream via Uber Eats first, but they have other treats when you go in person. Their premium ice cream is the best I’ve ever had and they make amazing cookies, all served and sold in a cute and comfortable environment.“

“I stopped at this place on a very hot day on my way out of the nail salon next door. I got a bottle of water (because it was even too hot for ice cream lol) and after checking my wallet and realized I didn’t have $1 I took out my card and said “I guess there’s a limit to using a card huh” the woman said “yesss sorry! But if you don’t have it you can bring $1 tomorrow or next time!” I had it, just in change. But felt the need to make this review because she was so sweet to offer a free bottle of water!“

“Can't rate this place enough. The kids and staff are so nice. The ice cream and ice are amazing. Every time I'm in the area I have to stop in. I'm just glad I don't live close cause I would be here all the time and also 200 lbs bigger lol. All joking aside, this place is a must visit for everyone“

“I had one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had, it was chocolate peanut butter and it was fantastic. My wife had a great strawberry milkshake made with real strawberries. 5/5 we came early, before opening hours, but the lady took our order anyway and was very nice.“

“I grew up eating Carvel ice cream, as of yet I have not found an ice cream that compares to their soft serve and their delicious ice cream cakes...if you enjoy chocolate crunchies you will love the ice cream cakes which have vanilla on top crunchie layer in the middle and chocolate ice cream on the bottom. Plus every Wed. Is BOGO on soft serve ice cream sundaes!“

“I love shake shack food, their burgers, fries, shakes, everything!!!! And the service at the Wesfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus NJ location is amazing, all the staff are very friendly, courteous, they made my family feel very welcome ?.“

“Stopped by today my first time and i must say EVERYTHING was amazing the food, ice cream & the service was top notch we had her home made chicken rice soup ,Italian combo and chicken salad sandwich made by Song she took such good care of us through her busy shift and made us feel so welcomed ! Her cakes are unbelievable she is so gifted ?❤️“

“Always love getting lunch from here. Got the spring smoothie and buffalo chicken wrap. Buffalo chicken wrap is always my go to here but Spring Smoothie was new try for me and I loved it. My husband got the parent trap and Thai crunch salad. I love how they give you the option of making a wrap or salad for all their food options it's so fun!“

“My family has been going to Griny’s since the 80’s but, sadly, over the years, the quality has declined. I tried Marie’s on a whim after searching for a Dominican bakery in Paterson on google and I am BLOWN AWAY. Just look at how much filling in that slice!! The cake is light and delicious. The frosting , too. And the filling is FRESH pasta de guayaba. my husband is Dominican and his birthday cake was 10/10!! This is my new spot for Dominican cake.“

“I used to work here and let me just say the service has only gone up since I’ve left. Specifically one young lady made me a delicious blizzard. I was having a horrible day and somehow it got better, and I credit that all to that young lady. Keep up the great work!“
