23 Best Ice Cream Shops near Seaside Park

“Kohr's has never disappointed especially on a super hot summer day at the shore! I have only been going to the Jersey Shore for the last 2 years and I always make sure to get it at least once while I am there! The ice cream is just super delicious, smooth and tasty! I also am a HUGE fan of soft serve, so no matter what this place is so good to me!The vanilla soft serve with the rainbow sprinkles is just *chef's kiss* and I can eat it everyday if I had to!“

“Great ice cream, been going here for years since it’s two blocks down from my family’s beach house in Seaside Park. Both the hard scooped and soft serve ice cream is satisfactory. The staff are always kind and respectful, but I still think the old name, “The Sunday Times”, and style of the place, was better. Otherwise, I recommend this place to anyone living in the area or stopping by.“

“Great mix of flavors. Not made in house (the flavor I had was Hershey's), but the ice cream is fresh. Lines can be a little long and the staff can get a little disorganized in trying to manage everyone, but they work hard and try to get people in and out of there quickly. Best place to get ice cream in the SSP area!“

“Miss Mindy's homemade ice cream is out of this world, with fun and unique flavors that change regularly - you'll never get bored! And for my vegan friends, they have a fantastic selection of vegan flavors that are just as delicious. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a sweet treat solo. The staff are always friendly and helpful, making every visit a delight. Highly recommend! ?✨“

“This is our absolute favorite place to go down the shore!!! We go every time we are there! My 5 yr old only wants to go here! And it’s for the show more than the ice cream!!! We just wish the shows was longer! Please please make longer shows! ?? ❤️Kid-friendliness: Best place for kids!!!! “

“Clean, quick service this time. I love the taro tea with almond milk. Other places I've had it taste like your drinking dirt but not here. No place to sit and eat if you want to hang out. Just a few lawn chairs along the wall while you wait. Very small parking lot. It's an in-and-out-and-on-your-way place.“

“The food is exceptional and consistent! It’s nice to have local business like this thrive. The owners are awesome people that collaborate with other businesses in the area; bringing everyone up with them, that’s the way small business should be. Try a lettuce wrapper classic burger with old bay fries; you won’t be dissapointed.“

“I rarely eat ice cream, and I rarely leave reviews. When I decide to do both, you will know that I want to talk about something good or something terrible ? I prefer to eat quality ice cream. I am an RN, and I have been on call in this area since this morning. I found this location on Google on my way home (have a 45-minute commute ahead of me), and I chose this place over a few other local places. I ordered a raspberry chocolate milkshake. This ice cream is soooooo good, and soooooo rich and creamy, that I am still in the parking lot and writing this review (not even done with the shake). The shake is thick, but the flavor of this ice cream...AMAZING. I haven't had ice cream like this since I was a kid. I do not live locally, but I plan to be back. I initially thought the cost was a bit pricey for a small shake, especially since most places don't use or make the best ice cream...and they end up drowning whatever flavor that you ask for in milk. Well, that was not the case today. The shake was thick and delicious, and it was 100% worth every single penny. The service was prompt, and the servers were courteous. I will definitely be back when I work in this area again. What a perfect find, especially before the summer months! If you know the difference between ordinary ice cream, and quality ice cream, treat yourself and come here. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors. Yummy! This is not the best picture, but I had to keep sipping...too good to stop drinking just to type?Dietary restrictions: They do have frozen yogurt...“

“I recently visited Sundaes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of their service. Despite the anticipation of a long wait, our orders were ready in less than 10 minutes. The variety of ice cream flavors and toppings they offer is impressive, providing customers with countless options. I must say, the quality of the ice cream was exceptional, and my wife and nephew shared my enthusiasm for their choices. Sundaes is definitely a great place to get some ice cream“

“Best little place around, workers are like old friends,we get their food every Sunday,and they give you your money's worth for sure,I definitely recommend you go there. It's it eat in,or take out,I promise you won't be disappointed ???“

“My must go place for Italian ice-ice cream! So smooth and an awesome inexpensive snack to have in the summer. The hot dogs and Philadelphia steak cheese on pizza bread is a must try! Even the fries are really good! Highlight recommend coconut mango Italian ice, steak cheese with onion and pepper on pizza bread, hot dog and cheese fries!“

“50 Years living in the area. Why did it take me so long to stop in? The place makes you feel like a little kid, with the carousel and the Bugs Bunny cartoons, and the Ice-cream is top notch! Well, now I know where I will be spending my senior years eating ice cream!“

“I grew up in Lacey but my family never really came to Ralph's... and oh my gosh we were missing out!!!! This is the BEST ice / ice cream I've had in my life. I got a small cotton candy ice + mint cookie crumb cream ice. Both had excellent flavor, such a smooth texture, and there was so much packed in a small!! This is a super great quality ice. It does not even compare to the junk at Rita's--go to Ralph's and get something actually delicious and totally worth your money!!!“

“The staff here is so kind and sweet and the whole menu looks so delectable ? Tried their Iced Matcha Latte w/ Strawberry Purée & The Club Pretzel Sandwich and it was one of the best I’ve tried, very yummy and would be happy to come back here “

“I ordered a custom ice cream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, ice cream flavors, & toppings. Everyone enjoyed the cake and asked, "Where is the ice cream cake from?" If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, I highly recommend this peanut butter themed ice cream cake. Aside from this custom order, we are regular customers. The ice cream sundaes are our favorite. You always get good portions (scoops) served. The medium is almost too much for me. That's a good thing. Chocolate Chip Mint, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, and topped with M & Ms is my favorite.“

“My daughter and I stopped in on Labor Day weekend to get an ice cream cake for my husband's birthday. While we were waiting for the cake to decorated, a very kind gentleman (maybe the owner?) asked if he could give my daughter a small ice cream with sprinkles for free. It was such a sweet gesture and my daughter was so happy! Even better, the ice cream cake was delicious and my husband and party guests were very happy with it. We are customers for life now. Thank you!“

“What can I say ? It's Rita's!! It's always good and the kids that work here with the long lines are awesome! Kudos to them.Especially to the girl that had her brother there helping her one busy night. They both deserve a raise !! Her brother was so nice and was awesome too! Thanks for the great service to this brother and sister team!“

“My husband & I have been going to this bakery and ice cream shop frequently since we moved to this area about six years ago. They have a great selection of ice cream, italian ice, and milkshakes. They feature seasonal flavors. Today, I brought home the homemade Shamrock Icecream. It's a minty creamy homemade flavor, a must try! They feature so many different bakery items, but I'll mention a few of our favorites; their moist fluffy big homemade brownies, their homemade cookies (especially the ones with the jelly in the middle), and their dessert cups. The dessert cups are unique to their bakery. It's a mix of cupcake filling,some icing, pudding, or cream, and additional toppings, etc, with flavors like tiramusu, cannoli, red velvet, key lime, & more! All items are top-notch as far as flavor. One of the best in the area. The store is clean. Staff is super friendly. They always remember my husband & I. I was over due to write a review. I'll be back to post reviews of future purchases we enjoy. Great local business of Lacey!“

“Nostalgia plus great food and ice cream? Yes, please! Menu is refreshed and yummy, with lots of fresh produce and healthier options. My clam chowder and half chicken salad was fabulous. Even the sliced egg was thoughtful. The frozen yogurt is perfection. Friendly’s will always be my favorite. Wish we had one in Hampton, VA!“

“My son loves Rita's. I enjoy taking him here for a quick treat. Usually fast. Pricing is normal. I got 3 items the last time; 2 drinks and the sampler that consists of 4 different choice flavors of Italian ice. You can add a bit of custard to the center of the tray, however when I was asked if I wanted lids for everything I said yes. I wasn't thinking that there is no spot for the custard to go so they put the custard in between in the middle of the 4 flavors in the tray so I got my 2 custard drinks covered and the sampler platter so the custard was smothered down flat LOL. Probably should have double checked since we got that custard on it ?“

“I happened to come across this cute place in Google maps search since I was in area. I did online order and it was done pretty quickly! The place was very clean and a lot of cute plushies and decor and tasty food!I ordered a medium Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake and a Bubbles 07 special crepe and it was all very tasty! The crepe was stuffed full and the filling has equal parts meat and veggies and was enough to feed two. The shake has lots of cinnamon toast crunch goodness. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and come back to this place again“

“Good homemade ice cream spot. Sometimes they'll have cool flavors like PB&J. Service is always good. They can get crazy busy in the summer. I have received freezer-burned ice cream one time. If you're going during a slower time or earlier in the season when ice cream may have been sitting for a while, go with a more popular flavor to avoid getting ice cream that may have been sitting. Otherwise 5 stars.“

“As some who has grown up here. I love this place. The sell Boba too!!!The staff is always nice and provides great conversations. Also the staff is great with kids from experience, they are always willing to help a little one when down. All the workers are very understanding and apologetic. The store is kept clean and the workers are always busy!!!Overall a great place had a lot of offer and is much better then the other candy shops around as all the chocolate is fresh and made at this location in the back!!!“
