50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Pine Brook

“I feel compelled to comment on the one-star reviews regarding the accusations of racism, as I find it deeply unsettling. The criticism leveled against the staff, suggesting a lack of attention, strikes me as a misunderstanding, particularly in light of my personal experiences. My autistic son, who is an employee of Seven Scoops, often struggles with eye contact and can unintentionally say things that might be misinterpreted.The staff at Seven Scoops has been nothing short of remarkable in their interactions with my son. They have significantly boosted his self-esteem, patiently engaged with his frequent text messages, and consistently welcomed his presence and contributions. This level of support and acceptance is a testament to their character and dedication.I urge the authors of the negative reviews to reconsider their words and instead become aware of your surroundings before placing judgement on our children with special needs.“

“Had a very lovely trip to the store. Was attended to by Micheal and he really took the time talk with us and show us the merchandise. Took time to get our full order with no rushing and even enrolled us in the rewards program for a free chocolate. Chocolate is very tasty and worth the cost, great for gifts and they also sell mini chocolate that is very well priced.“

“What an awesome place! Great ice cream; love all the flavors we’ve tried. The space is clean, bright, and cheerful. We hosted our 3-year-old’s birthday party here, and it was perfect, thanks to Tony and Andrea. Would recommend to anyone.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves this place, and what kid wouldn’t. The side area with the picnic tables is great!“

“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.“

“I love ice cream and believe me have gone to many places but Curly’s is one of the best. They have cannoli which is one of my favorites, and even use chocolate dip on part of my cone which makes for a blissful sloppy mess. lol They are really generous which is rare these days.“

“Scoops is very reliable. They support the local community and schools. I like how they are able to accomodate people's allergies through safe toppings and ice cream. The inside has a nice atmosphere and it is great to sit outside on nice days. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“My daughter randomly wanted ice cream after gymnastics today so I searched for the nearest spot and Diane’s came up. WOW. The ice cream itself was SO well done. I give the cold brew coffee chip an A+.We’ll definitely put this place on our list of ice cream spots.“

“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 “

“It's cool that DD (no, not the donut place, this place) has been around for many years and remains independent and hires local kids. All of these facts are worthy of praise. However, the ice cream is just average. I mean, if you are comparing it the grocery store weekly sale ice cream, sure, it's amazing. But for local ice cream parlor, real-deal ice cream, I think Scoops in Boonton is much better.“

“We visited while in the area and found both the food and service to be outstanding. The sushi was very fresh and there are some inventive rolls on the menu. They have several tea options, one of which is the Flower Tea, a beautifully fragrant mix of organic leaves of jasmine, rose, lavender, chamomile and marigold which my daughter and I found to be soothing and totally hit the spot on a chilly rainy night. The owner was accommodating and extremely friendly; she made sure to check on us several times during the meal. Highly recommend!“

“Freshly made super tasty ice creams! Wait times are bit longer but not all the time. Offer booking facility for upcoming orders. Take out or eat outside the shop, always a treat to go! Keep up the good work guys. We are loving it!Parking: Ample parkingKid-friendliness: Kids love it!“

“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!“

“I stopped in here for coffee and just had to try a beignet. They smelled amazing, and the one I got was hot, soft, and not overly sweet, despite the glaze. Good stuff! The shop itself has a good amount of seating, and the employee was nice. I'd try more beignets if I wasn't trying to lose weight, LOL.“

“Apparently it’s under new management. The people working here are always so polite and very friendly. The ice cream is delicious, I love the Lil Blue Panda flavor. I come here all the time, even in the winter. I highly recommend this place!“

“The ice cream is so delicious! Had the guava cheesecake flavor and it was divine. They have different flavors every month I think. The negative is that the ice cream is pricey and the portion doesn’t match the price. It was $11 for the pictured ice cream.There isn’t really space to sit and eat your ice cream in the store. It was empty when I went so I found parking right outside on the street.“

“My recent visit to Mango Mango Dessert in Livingston was an absolute delight! After a hearty dinner at home, we couldn't resist the temptation for dessert, especially after hearing so much about their mango delights. The variety of mango-infused desserts, drinks, and cakes left us spoilt for choice. We indulged in their tantalizing mango creations and were not disappointed! The ambiance was cozy, and the service was good. We're already planning our next visit to try out more of their mouthwatering offerings. Highly recommended for all mango lovers out there! Check out some of the captures we took during our visit.“

“Most delicious ice cream ever. The owner, is such an upstanding guy. I could chat with him for hours. Staff are polite. A must go to ice cream play this summer.Kid-friendliness: Very much, take pictures with the cow outside.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair ramp is how to get in.“

“What a great cookie!!We went around 8:45 pm on a Friday night and they were out of some of the more popular cookies, but the 2 that we got were amazing!!They also sell milk, which is such a great thing when you're eating cookies!!Can't wait to go back and to try some of the other cookies!!“

“This past weekend my husband & I tried this place for the first time through Too Good To Go. We were greeted by a friendly young lady & were asked if we had any allergy restrictions & received our order quickly. The cookies were so soft (even 2 days later)! Definitely would go back again!“

“I’ve got to say, the best FroYo place around. They have so many flavor options, and so many toppings. Their boba is pretty good. It’s your average boba. I have never tried one of their smoothies, or rolled ice cream. It’s such a popular place with the kids, and it’s also walking distance from the green! I highly recommend.“

“Amazing guest service. Delicious, hot food cooked to order. Clean store. Great experience overall. Jeffrey runs the store very well. Would definitely be back if ever in the area again. We had the chicken fingers, fries, backyard bacon ranch burger and of course a blizzard! “

“I recently went to Lake Hiawatha Dairy and had the most AMAZING experience!!! They have so many great tasting, homemade, fresh ice cream flavors to pick from with some being very unique! Blueberry Pie For The Win! They also have plenty of to-go cup sizes to pick from! The toppings selection is plentiful and delicious! The owner, Karen, and staff, Amy and Bianca, are so nice, helpful, and wonderful to talk to. Make sure to visit ASAP!!! You won't be disappointed!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Toasted coconut was delicious, and the serving size was plenty for one scoop. The shop is cute, didn't realize there were vegan options, that's cool. Definitely stuffed my face and tried to eat the ice cream before it melted. Pup got a small vanilla cup and a photo shoot.“

“YOU MUST GO HERE FOR DINNER!!!!!!! Not only is this the only place nearby serving East African food, it is so good that it is akin to food heaven! The staff are incredible! And for dessert you can get amazing homemade ice cream! So please please please do yourself a favor and try the Eritrean food! You will not be disappointed!“

“This part was pretty good. I got a flurry, and I really enjoyed it but I asked for cookie dough in it as well as gummy bears, and they didn’t include that. Not sure if it was because it was busy but I kind of expected my first time here to be a really positive one. Aside from that it was positive overall and I really enjoyed their vanilla ice cream.“

“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!“

“This review is seriously overdue, I love coming here! If I could give them more stars I honestly would. I love supporting local businesses vs. corporate places when I can. They have soo many flavors, great service and always very clean. Its also in a really great part of town which is very convenient for me. My personal favorite menu items there are the CUTEST little home made chipwiches and the shakes (I always request Paul make the shake if he’s there) its soo good! Definitely recommend. The cakes are great as well, I got one for my friend’s birthday recently, everyone loved it!“

“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! ??“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“This storefront location is home to many delicious flavors making it challenging to choose. The young staff works hard, is often perky but perhaps would profit from a bit more training. Staff scoops remains of one container onto the fresh one; the leftovers are unattractive and we try to avoid those flavors . Best coffee and chocolate around..glorious cherry vanilla.“

“Delicious homemade ice-cream! Great selection of flavors. Staff is welcoming and attentive, customer service is good. I am often visiting this place and like it so much! Prices are little bit high but it is worth it. Great location, highly recommended.“

“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.“

“My family and I had dinner here tonight. We cannot say enough good things about this place. The service is impeccable, and they really make you feel like family. Don't let the huge menu scare you off, as there is something for everyone! My son had a kid's hamburger and fries, which he said was the most delicious burger he's had. My husband had a chicken gyro platter, and I had spinach pie with a side Greek salad. The portions are enormous, and the food absolutely delicious. We had vegan meatballs and tzatziki dip for appetizers, and baklava and gelato for dessert. We will definitely be coming back soon!!“

“If you've never tried a mochimoly, try one. I don't think I'll eat another donut after eating one of these. It's a cross between a traditional donut and a rice cake but better. Its first a crunch than light like rice. They come in different flavors. The flavoring is in the icing. I got mango and caramel. The Carmel was excellent. The mango was good but not my favorite. The woman in the store was very polite. They also have mochi ice cream and Korean hotdogs. I didn't try either. I will be back and suggest you try it too. They have two other locations. The place was very clean.“

“I went after seeing this place for a couple of years. Wished I visited sooner. I tried a sample of their strawberry shortcake ice cream, ended up getting a banana split with the strawberry shortcake ice cream with strawberries as the topping. It was that good. They have other items, and are very reasonably priced. This has become my favorite place to get ice cream. Definitely worth the visit. You won't regret it.“

“This is one of the best ice cream in the area. I went today though and was a little unhappy for the girl helping me out was a little rude also I asked for cones and she put them in a cup and chucked them really hard into the bag (while the other girl was filling my bag) like veryyy unnecessarily hard.Also I understand why they wear gloves but if they touch money/cards with the gloves they have on then touch your cone that you are going to eat then wearing gloves are kind of pointless.. but once again the ice cream is delicious (especially the caramel pretzel)“

“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.“

“First of all, I'm partial to this place. It's a straight up ice cream place with owners who stepped up during the pandemic. They are part of the community and took care of their community. So, A+ there.Second, the flavor options are vast and their sweet treats are delicious.Third, I've always had awesome service. This weekend was no exception. I wanted a cake for a special occasion. The team member working the counter was fairly new and was concerned about the quality of the decorating. He was worried it wouldn't meet expectations. But, I have to say he stepped up, it was awesome, and the cake was a hit. Thank you, Parker, for being kind, considerate, concerned, and committed! :) Good luck and hope to see you there again soon!“

“Very good! I got a small cone of the pistachio gelato. It was pricy but the portion was respectable and the flavor was great.I am not picky about pistachio flavor - I love cheap artificial pistachio flavor just as much as authentic pistachio flavor. But I have to give credit, this was proper pistachio. I also liked that the pistachio pieces were small. I prefer small pieces to whole pistachios.I am looking forward to going back and trying other flavors!“

“Under new ownership, this shop is amazing! The ice cream selection is great and so are the toppings. Name brand toppings, not the gross knock offs. As well as soft serve, ice cream sandwiches and also they have cakes coming soon.This is my favorite ice cream place, glad we have such a good one right around the corner from us!And they're open year round! Love ice cream even in the winter!“

“Love this place. Been going since I was in highschool, and adore their classic peanut butter sundae dasher! It’s seriously is great, and the workers are the greatest. I’m happy to be somewhat of a regular, and proud to call this my favorite ice cream shop! Brought a girl here as our first date, and now she’s my fiancé - the ice cream is magical ✨“

“Place is very convenient and the Staff is great. It is Constantly under staffed though. The owner should hang in the back less (in between prepping) and take some orders. 25 min line on a Tuesday and you are in the back. Work smarter not harder“

“Who doesn't love a good hot dog? This former Stewart's location in Denville, now known as Denville Dog & Grill, brings back some welcome nostalgia with its outside ordering, outside tables, and delicious hot dogs! I ordered one dog with onions and sauerkraut, and the other a chill cheese dog. The chili cheese dog was the better choice...delicious and the chili had a real kick to it. To top it off, they still serve Stewart's root beer! It was a beautiful day so it was fun sitting outside. Service was very friendly. Big parking lot. Fun choice!“

“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 ?❤️“

“We have been enjoying this gem of an ice cream shop for decades. Nick and his family treat you like part of their family. The ice cream is homemade. The cones are homemade. The brownies are homemade. There is a theme here. You are in for a gastronomic desert delight! Get to Magic Fountain today! I promise you will want to come back again and again! So many flavors and so little time. Thank you Nick and family for keeping the tradition alive! God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!“

“It's an adorable little spot to get ice cream. Good selection of items and great flavors.Also fun little fact is in the winter, they trun into The Soup Coop.Do note there is no publicly accessible interior. It's only a walk up window.Just a nice spot all around.“

“Rita's fan for many years. Unfortunately the few around us closed down. Glad we found this one which is a few minutes away from our son's school. We almost always get the mango gelati (mango water ice with soft serve custard. They taste the same no matter which one you go to. The custard is very rich and smooth and it may not sound like a good combo but it's great when combined with mango ice. It also became our 4 year old's favorite dessert. He actually doesn't care much about ice cream but he likes Rita's. Staff is always nice. They have benches in front of the parking spot which is pretty smart.“
