50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Chatham

“Just a little too overly cautious with the covid-19 for me but the ice 🧊 cream 🍦 was good prices and service pretty decent“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Soooo many amazing flavors“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“Caputo’s is hands down one of the best ice cream spots around. The ice cream is insanely creamy, super flavorful, and you can tell it’s made with real quality ingredients. Every flavor hits, whether you’re sticking with a classic or trying something new. The shop has such a friendly, welcoming vibe, and the staff is always great.“

“Thank you for sharing your delicious ice cream with our Staff for Teacher appreciation!“

“friendly staff, delicious ice cream and beautiful Christmas trees!“

“Jason is honestly one of the main reasons going to Rita’s Ice is such a good experience. From the second you walk up, he’s friendly in a way that doesn’t feel forced or fake—he actually seems like he enjoys being there and talking to customers. It makes a big difference, especially compared to places where workers just rush you through the line.

What really stands out is how helpful he is. If you’re not sure what flavor to get, he’ll give suggestions or let you try samples without making you feel like you’re being annoying. He knows the menu really well and can recommend combinations that actually end up being really good. You can tell he cares about people leaving happy with what they ordered.

He’s also super efficient. Even when there’s a long line, he keeps things moving without making anyone feel rushed. He balances speed with good service, which isn’t easy to do. Plus, he pays attention to small details, like getting orders right the first time and making sure everything looks good before handing it over.

Overall, Jason just makes Rita’s a better place to go. It’s not just about getting ice—it’s about the experience, and he definitely improves that. People remember service like that, and it’s the kind of thing that makes you want to come back.“

“On behalf of the Mount Pleasant PTA, We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Guerriero Gelato for their incredibly generous contribution to our recent schoolwide event. Your support played a significant role in making the event a resounding success, and we are truly grateful for your contribution to our school community. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity, and we hope to continue working together in the future to support our students and their education.“

“Delicious ice cream and great staff!“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“No contest. DQ and Last Licks are good, sometimes necessary in the pinch. But, Scoop Coop? Legendary. They just know how to nuance the nuance of soft serve...and the homemade hard flavors are consistently delicious. A sweet balance and perfect mouth feel. Service is of same high, joyful standard.“

“Great ice cream, even while waiting on line there’s a great vibe. By the way, I had the cherry vanilla!“

“Hands down one of the best spots to get Italian ice!! So many flavors! And bonus for our allergy fam, they had dairy free and vegan options! Instantly became our family’s new fav icecream spot! Thanks for all the options and for helping with our allergy needs! Shout out to Aisha who took care of us today! We’ll be back! Also shout out to them for their excellent customer service on social media and in person! Oh and don’t forget the cute swing for photo ops! Love love love! Thanks again!“

“Delicious food. Best crepes in Morristown!“

“friendly people serve you sweet treats. it can't get any better.“

“Lots of flavor variety. Wish the sugar free/ NSA flavors were listed on the menu .“

“Good donuts, great staff, wasn’t sure what to get and they were able to walk me through getting something a little custom just for my taste. It’s always so bright and cheerful inside. Oh and the donuts are made fresh??? Amazing!!! (Try the cinnamon sugar donuts trust me)“

“The take out process is brilliant. Nothing better than a couple of quarts of McCools ice cream to have on hand! Order online and pick up at the curb.“

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“Wanted to the Scoop Station owner, Jen, for helping us out with discounted gift cards as part of the giveaway for the Morris Plains 8th graders at the end of their dance last night!! It was so kind!“

“It's the bomb....great flavors and service...yeahhh“

“This place is just amazing! There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different. Everything we got was delicious- we all tried each other's dishes. There's a little bit of everything to satisfy even the pickiest eater. I would just drive her (over a 2 hour drive for me) just to come eat here. I need this place closer to home, lol.“

“I came here because I love the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream brand that you buy at the store so I decided to come here they have a wide variety of flavors and I got the strawberry since that’s my favorite Haagen Dazs flavor the ice cream tasted good but it was really hard and did not taste as good as the pint it was still really good but it’s expensive so I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here“

“I have not physically been to their store, but have watched their TikToks and live stream.( J did an absolutely stunning job with the cakes she was making today. She did happy birthday cakes, to streamers, to a gory unicorn cake that represented a Halloween theme. She is very fast handed and very detail oriented when it comes to making those cakes come to life! She also went over how she makes roses on cakes as well which as her least favorite part, was my favorite part. It was pretty fascinating and captivating learning more about the art of cakes! We also were able to see her role from cake making, to her customer service abilities. In my opinion she was pretty kickass! She is very spunky and very funny. Mike has cultivated a very positive workplace where they have fun with the job, which is what it should be about. My strongest advise is don’t knock it till you try it for yourself! Don’t listen to others opinions until you have witnessed them, their cakes, and other goodies for yourself. Not everything online is what is seems! Go check them out!(:“

“Great ice cream spot with plenty of eggless options, which is a huge plus! Almost all the flavors are eggless, only the cookie and cake flavor contains egg. So there’s a lot to choose from.

The strawberry ice cream was super refreshing and perfect if you’re looking for something light and fruity. The chocolate was rich and satisfying, and the salted caramel truffle was easily one of the highlights; creamy with a great balance of sweet and salty.

Overall, a solid place for ice cream lovers, especially if you’re looking for eggless choices. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I absolutely love this shop, my go-to spot no matter the mood! The staff are always friendly and provide great service.

Best value for quality and quantity. My favorites are Monkey Madness and Moody Mango, and their bubble teas are perfectly balanced not too sweet.

Everything here is consistently delicious and never disappoints!“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“owner is so nice!!! they make their own soy sauce. wasn't salty“

“Perfect for kids, Plus the food is great!!“

“Humble establishment... she made my kids feel so welcomed... can't wait to go back... please visit 💛“

“Super busy on a Tuesday night. It was my first time inside and it was very confusing as to where to go and how to order- no one greeted us or anything which is a little odd. We figured it out and enjoyed our cookies. There was a pretty long wait“

“I’ve been coming to this place for years. I remember when it first opened when I was in high school both the owners are very hard-working immigrants and are always making people feel welcome to recommend that in recent years include rolled ice cream, bubble tea and a fourth of frozen yogurt everything is delicious and fresh“

“Swirl is still my favorite but cakes did look amazing“

“pumkin, Key Lime Pie & Peach are my favs.“
