“Awesome ice cream 🍦 Will be going back.👍👍👍“

“Great ice cream and reasonable prices 🥰“

“Been going here since they opened and we make it a point to stop every year. Owners are amazing people, food, ice cream and treats are delicious! Keep up the great work, we love everything about this place!“

“I spend some time in Wildwood every year for a family vacation and we always look for new places to try. We had ice cream the other night, along with some milkshakes, and everything was fantastic (especially the chocolate milkshakes). We decided to go back the next morning for breakfast and once again, everything was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the food was great and we can’t wait to go back again. You can’t ask for much more! It’s definitely on the list of places I’ll have to visit every time I vacation here.“

“Where do I start … at the beginning … Mr softee has always held a special place in my heart since childhood memories recall the days when my friends and I would get so excited to hear music coming from the truck as it made its way down our street … to my visit tonight at the brick and mortar location in CMCH NJ. This location is clean on the inside and has a drive thru.

The other thing I love is that while I enjoy soft serve I also enjoy hard ice cream and this location offers both. Although their hard ice cream flavor offering is limited but covers your basic chocolate strawberry vanilla along with a couple of other flavors.

Tonight we wanted milkshakes and they were delicious!

But what really stood out was the young boy who served me at the drive thru window. His customer service was EXEMPLARY. He was articulate, helpful, patient and sociable. I hope his parents see this review so that they know that they are knocking the parenting thing out of the park!

My only regret is that I didn’t get his name!

We will certainly return and hope that the “boss” gives that boy a generous bonus or raise.

Ps I always beep and wave at your Mr softee mascot when I see them on Main Street.“

“Portions are huge! Waffle sundae is my favorite Love the staff; everyone is friendly and courteous“

“Highly recommend Cone Crazy for customized ice cream cakes! I needed a Beach themed cake for my cousin’s 50th birthday and they were so easy to work with. The owner Steve provided his cell# for easier communication which I really appreciated. Not only was the ice cream cake absolutely delicious, they did an amazing job with the design. My cousin was so thrilled to have a beach themed cake with her favorite ice cream flavors for her milestone birthday! If you are local to the area or visiting Wildwood ( like us) do not miss out and try their ice cream. It’s amazing!! Thank you so much Steve and staff!!! The cake was a HUGE Hit!!“

“The Ice Cream is Great and the Owners really care that the customers are happy!!“

“This was a phenomenal find on Rio Grande Blvd in Wilwood , NJ. We were looking for an early afternoon ice cream fix and we came upon this location by chance. It is an air conditioned shop with plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating. The service is fast and courteous. Don't miss this gem!“

“Long line, but the wait wasn't bad at all. They had about 5 or 6 people working, so the service moved pretty quickly. The staff didn't seem very friendly, but they were efficient. There were plenty of flavors to choose from, and the Butter Pecan was absolutely delicious, definitely my favorite. If you're in the area and craving ice cream, I'd recommend stopping by and giving it a try!“

“The food was amazing! The girl there was so friendly and had a really nice conversation with my friend and I! The ice cream itself was amazing too! I love that they had homemade ice cream and it was fantastic! I got three scoops with lemon bar, vanillia with chocolate chip, and chocolate prezel and salted caramel with vanillia ice cream!“

“Our family LOVES going to the Hershey's Ice Cream Wildwood shop! They not only serve the BEST ice cream treats but their crepes and funnel cakes are out of this world! They also serve up smiles with a friendly staff! Our children love going there every day! well and night, too! Enjoy!“

“We went to visit this weekend and the ice cream was delicious👍“

“the people that work here are very nice and accommodating so you can get the desserts and say add ice cream if you want to.

but I'm just letting anybody know who reads this that Dubai chocolate strawberry cup ain't worth it it's two chocolatey and guaranteed to give you a stomach ache

nothing against the shop they were great“

“Had the pleasure of coming here with a good friend today. I am a cappuccino snob, this was one of the best I’ve had stateside in a LONG time. The Ricotta jam toast was the perfect combination of sweet (blueberries were just perfect) and creamy. Adorable location with a beautiful view that just cant be beat. Kind staff, quick service too. Great prices for the incredible quality of food and beverage they provide as well. I can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu!“

“The new Owners Rob & Kim who took over Salty Paws in Stone Harbor are simply the BEST ! They are extremely friendly, have a sincere love for all animals and are the kindest people you will ever meet ! My PepperGirl enjoys roaming around the store, getting extra love and attention. Our favorite pet treats are the Peanut Butter cannoli’s and of course their doggie ice cream ! If you haven’t visited Salty Paws in Stone Harbor, you must ! You will NOT be disappointed… They also hold Special Events for our 4 legged friends ! You guys rock ! You are definitely PepperGirl Approved !“

“Best ice cream store in town! Family owned and operated. They make their own waffle cones- so good. Love the vibe there❤️“

“We had the most amazing experience here tonight. The quick story is the soft serve dipped in chocolate was delicious. The longer version is our daughter has Celiac’s Disease and when we asked if they could do hers gluten free, Annalise was amazing and took it very seriously. She was actually training a new employee and used the opportunity to go through the process step by step with him. She honestly reminded me of the people they discover on the show Undercover Boss. It was obvious not only how much she cared about ensuring our daughter had a safe experience, but also to properly train her employee, and overall just the pride she had in her work. She was amazing and we will definitely return.“

“this go to spot has quality ice cream, generous portions, the loveliest people and it is well priced. their cozy little cottage shop is located in woodland village, tucked in the shade with plenty of seating. wonderful way to beat the heat! we had the nutty buddy sundae with gummy worms. graham slam milk shake. vanilla with rainbow jimmies.“

“Great GLUTEN FREE ice cream options!“

“Delicious ice cream and waffle cones, great customer service.“

“of course it’s a “shore place”, so most likely every summer the employees will be different…but today our girl was top notch! very patient with our indecisiveness, gave recommendations whenever we mentioned a potential order and was overall very joyful. it feels so nice to not only NOT be rushed, but also to feel welcomed and that “home feeling”….my only complaint, when did they stop presenting blizzards upside down? always been a classic favourite and definitely missed that tonight!“

“So husband bought a banana flavored one...it was like a banana flavored icee coupled with soft serve vanilla ice cream. I didn't get one at first...mistake. I tried my husband's and my God, I had to turn back and get one for myself. I had the orange flavored icee coupled with vanilla soft serve. It was delicious. I have no regrets.“

“great prices, quick service“

“The place is cute and simple, and very clean! The owners were very welcoming towards me and my partner, and guided us on where the entrance is! 💕 She as well asked how everything was and the frozen yogurt while we gave our feedback of what flavors we ended up picking! Coming from Pennsylvania, we will definitely be coming back for next Summer 💗😊“

“Great homemade ice cream!“

“Fresh homemade Açaí drinks, rolled ice cream, bubble cones all the best I’ve had Great customer service! Would recommend everyone to try!!!“

“Pretty tasty. The staff is very polite. I think some of the prices were a bit too high. We had gotten 5 small (and they are pretty small) ice cream cups for like $20. The mediums seems a much more reasonable price. Was like twice the size (maybe more) of the small for not much more. But nice for a family treat on the way home from the shore.“

“When I was on the Wildwood Boardwalk I was surprised when I came across something called “Polish Water Ice” I’ve heard of Italian ice but never Polish ice so I decided to give it a try. It is much smoother and almost creamy like it was also sweeter. I would recommend you stop for some Polish Water Ice on a hot day.“

“Going to Bandanas is a must every year we visit Wildwood. It’s always a family favorite.“

“Always a fan of diary queen ice creams and it was good to see DQ on the boardwalk . Fantastic location right on the heart of wildwood . It just gets crazy in peak times and then the service degrades .

Parking is also a bit crazy here . Everything is paid parking. And sometimes tough to get . Kids had fun with ice creams . Vanilla scoops are good . It’s a little pricey but ok for boardwalk style outlets . Good experience overall .“

“Great ice cream! Kids had a blast. On certain days they have a balloon entertainer (free! tips welcomed). Staff super friendly.“

“Always fast and friendly service and the ice cream is delicious“

“Fast and friendly good ice cream“

“Amazing atmosphere, this ice cream store has framed pictures of customers and celebrities displayed on every wall throughout the store. Adults and kids are featured on there wall of fame next to other celebrities. The vanilla ice cream was the best I’ve ever had. Was a great stop during the Irish Fall Festival.“

“Phenomenal dole whip, it may not be for everyone but I highly recommend the 5 mile cake.“

“I stopped with my grandchildren and they loved the ice cream served in Phillies hats! Ice cream was good and staff was very friendly!“

“Love the ice cream! Don’t like the choice of vocabulary in the menu.“

“Great place!! We went on a hot day, they have fans running and even bug spray available (we didn’t need it) Very fun for my 14yo son and i, clean and staff super friendly! The water ice at the end was amazing and refreshing Thank you!“

“What an EXCELLENT arcade, really unique experience, absolutely loved the variety of games and prizes, customer service was excellent (Walt is the man!), prices were affordable, and the food/beverages were delicious. We went back twice this week because we loved it so much.“

“Phenomenal dole whip, it may not be for everyone but I highly recommend the 5 mile cake.“

“Under new ownership! Great service! Very friendly and fast! Its a shame that basketball game is next to you. Hooting and hollering "obviously to distract the person shooting" but the music blasting with profanity is just uncalled for! Thank you DQ for speedy service!“

“Love the ice cream cakes! It's all the kids want for their birthdays now!“
