“I wanted to take the time to write a review because of the amazing people who interacted with us. We were a table of 8 and our wait staff Gabby, Zayn (hopefully that's how you spell it), and Madisyn were quick and courteous when serving our table. They were great interacting with us and helping accommodate such a large group. I also wanted to give props to Jas and Dylan who served my little brother his ice cream and were very very kind. A big thank you to these great employees for creating such a great experience!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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%.“

“The owner has always been so sweet. I started going there when I was younger. She was always so friendly. My favorite has always been cotton candy, gummy bears, hot fudge, and marshmallow sauce. The friendly face, ice cream options, and baked goods are always the best.“

“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!“

“Since we are in the area often we decided to stop by for some after dinner ice cream. Lots of flavor selections. Small eat in area (bar stool-ish seating). Super friendly staff. They even have a challenge - ask for it when you go in. Worth the calories and the stop in!“

“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!“

“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.“

“On the way home, I accidentally saw the crowd in front of his door and entered. I waited a while for the queue to come, but since the number of employees was high, the turn came quickly. I ate cookie, vanilla and lemon ice cream. Afterwards, the ice cream was delicious among the chocolate biscuits. the employees are friendly and very friendly. I'll be back soon to try other flavors. (masculine)“

“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.“

“Great pizzeria! Slices are all square, more grandma style than Sicilian. I have been numerous times and doesn't disappoint. Salads are amazing, and I don't often care much about the salads. Try the salad with the sliced pears. It is awesome!“

“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.“

“I have called and placed an order a few times this year..every call the people were happy and professional. my orders were always on time and correct!. the Italian ices are exactly from my childhood. I'm really happy this business is still around!. thank you to Mike and everyone else who makes this business what it is!!..“

“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.“

“Not a large selection of hot food in this location only hot dogs and pretzels. We got the choco dipped strawberry blizzard it was excellent. We were too afraid to turn it upside down but it is thick. The hot dogs were ok. The service was excellent and plenty of seatings both indoor and outdoor and tables and play things for the kids.“

“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!“

“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.“

“As previously mentioned. Parking on the street just outside of the entrance before checking in. It’s best to show up just before your appointment. There is no parking on site or anywhere near. The employees were great to deal with and they unloaded me within 45 minutes.“

“Went here this afternoon and the gentleman at the window was so nice, patient and accommodating. He even has dog biscuits at the window for your pup! I don’t have a dog but I appreciate the gesture. I’m thinking he might be the owner but I’m not sure. Definitely 10/10 Will return!“

“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!“

“I saw this place and wanted to try it out. I got the vanilla with peanut butter and caramel add in and graham cracker topping. You can have up to 5 toppings. The ice cream was pretty good. Once he was done it was pretty hard. I had to let it soften a little. I would recommend this place. I definitely want to go back.“

“This place have some Amazing verity of flavors . They have so many verity of toppings also. Service is good . Price is average . They have some seating inside and outside of the store too. They also have a handful number of frozen yogurt too.“

“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..“

“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!!!“

“Great place for yummy and creative Indian flavors of ice cream. They also serve a good variety of appetizers and small plate meals, which can be perfect, when you want to snack up or don't want a full meal. The staff is extremely friendly and offer people to try their ice creams before they buy some. The ambience is also very nice. Overall, a great place for families ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I stopped by on a Saturday and chatted with the lady at the counter for a while - super friendly and glad to have stumbled across this place.The ice cream was fairly standard, being so close to the theatre and center of Dunellen its in a good location“

“I am writing this review for the Baskin Robbins located within the Dunkin Donuts.I recently contacted this location to order an ice-cream cake for my brother's graduation from college.The woman I texted with to place the order was extremely accommodating and responsive.Further, the cake was not only delicious, but it was beautifully decorated, far beyond my expectations. The woman carried the colors I had requested for the wording throughout the entire cake, from the flowers to the icing bordering the cake.I would absolutely recommend this Baskin Robbins!“

“I don't know if Mayberry had an ice cream shop in the Andy Griffith show, but if it did it would be called Hi-Tams ice cream. And just like in Mayberry you would get some of the creamiest ice cream, that would be the center of the town's sweet tooth heart. That little walkway out front holds so many memories from generations upon generations of Somerset County residents. And if you get to peek your head inside the little window and see some of the décor on the walls, the old posters, the little television in the corner playing some TV show that nobody can watch because they're always so darn busy... It's a slice of American life, The American ice cream shop.“

“They have a very large variety of ice cream and Italian Ices. The drivers are very friendly and respectful. Great customer service and delicious ice cream. They cover different routes with their ice cream trucks to make kids happy when buying an ice cream from the Ice Cream Truck.. and adults ? too (bringing their childhood memories back). I recommend them. If you hear the music around your neighborhood (go outside and stop them) or for parties and private events too. ???????This is a pic for one of their trucks.***Life is too short, sit back, relax and enjoy an ice cream!***“
