50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dunellen

“So my family ordered sundaes. We didn't realize how generous the portions were. The quality of the ingredients was very good. We took home what we couldn't finish. The young lady that took care of us was very quick and efficient. She definitely needs a raise.“

“I used to come here with my little girl. She’d consistently get a vanilla cone with cherry dip. That was her favorite. She’d always let me have a bite (in exchange for a bite of whatever I had, of course).

I love you Lilly“

“Today is Chocolate Milkshake Day! Wishing you a great day filled with sweet moments. 😊🥳😋“

“Great experience here.

Tons of ice cream flavors to choose from and very reasonably priced.

The young servers were very friendly and efficient...kudos to them.

Conveniently located right on Main Street with lots of street parking in the immediate area.

Lots of food options in the area as well...this is a great post-dinner dessert option.“

“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

“Zita’s has the most DELICIOUS homemade vanilla chip & coffee ice cream. I’m delighted that their take out pint and quart containers are now more environmentally friendly. Thank you, Zita’s!! 😋🍦🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love their desserts and iced drinks. Sticky rice with coconut cream and mango is my comfort dish. I have ordered enough to be a little embarrassed. It’s that good.

Over all , great place for sweets and hours are perfect for late evening snack.“

“Fresh Tiki bar is, by far, the BEST ice cream shop around town! The facility is always “fresh” and clean and the owners are warm and welcoming! The decor is top notch-when you walk into the door you immediately feel like you are on a tropical vacation! Highly recommend Fresh Tiki Bar if you are ever on Main Street and are in need of a sweet treat!“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

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

“Superior quality ingredients result in an amazing Italian Ice. Couple that with the greatest staff (and owner!) and you’ve got a winner! If you haven’t tried it, get over to Metuchen and experience this amazing ice!“

“First of all, yum, secondly-they are so nice! The staff is super helpful and nice! Third of all-they have dog treats! Anytime I'm walking a dog by there and it's open I stop in to get the doggie a treat. Always, always, wonderful. Love this place!“

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“An old fashioned ice cream spot with tables to sit at and enjoy a nice treat. They have an excellent small vanilla shake and they don't skimp on the whipped cream. It costs about $5 and the sizing is more equivalent to a medium. All of the ice cream tastes fresh. Although prices are higher than we are used to, the quality is worth the cost. They have parking on each side and if you want to sit and rest on a bench near a tree nearby they have that option. They could benefit from some nice planters in the front. I will be back for their excellent shakes during the summer.“

“My daughter's birthday cake was delicious and beautiful. We received non stop compliments on the taste and how gorgeous it was. Karen went above and beyond to make sure all the details were correct and we had the cake in time. I can't wait to use Blue Sheep again for my next event.“

“Big portions and super fresh ice cream! Service staff rocks!“

“Causeway is hands-down our favorite ice cream spot!
They offer an incredible variety of flavors and toppings, so there’s always something new to try. The convenience of the drive-thru is a huge plus, especially on hot days or when you’re in a hurry.

Today, I tried their special Dubai Sundae—and wow, it was unbelievably good! Rich, flavorful, and totally unique. If you’re an ice cream lover, this place is a must-visit.

(Used their social media photo as we ate it too quickly!)“

“The best in town!! Great staff, great prices. My favorite is the cherry vanilla gelati!!😋🍒“

“I was happy to discover KOKO LOKO when searching for an alternative to the downtown cafés in New Brunswick. The pistachio latte is delicious- it’s smooth but still flavorful and has crushed pistachios mixed in. And for a good-sized latte with plant milk, the price was affordable. I loved chatting with the barista, too. The place has a laid-back and quiet but still creative vibe, plenty of outlets and plants! It would be great to linger and write or craft there on a cooler day.“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“Yum for the whole family!!! They’ll blow you away with the flavors and large array of selections. Lexie crafted the tastiest most well balanced coke float I’ve had in a long while.👏🙌🙌👏 Be back soon!!“

“Saffron in Piscataway offers an exceptional Indian dining experience, blending authentic flavors with an elegant ambiance. The diverse menu, welcoming staff, and beautifully crafted dishes make it a must-visit for food lovers!“

“Been there couple of times already. Love the small-town cash-only hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cash-only could be inconvenience for some, but once you know the game, you’ll be ready with cash next time! Love both soft serve and hard ice creams. Friendly staff too.“

“This place has amazing fro yo and is a very safe place to go during this pandemic. You order online and within minutes they deliver your yogurt to your car, taking proper precautions. They give your toppings and yogurt seperatly so you could mix and match anything!“

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

“Ice cream - both hard & soft-serve, ice pops, and other frozen treats with all the trimmings and toppings. They also have an eclectic mix of candies and toys, plus a few trinkets and gift items. Prices are comparably reasonable. Located right on Hamilton Street with plenty of on site parking. The service is outside (thru windows), so they're not always open on the colder days. But it's a great place to hang out on one of the benches when the sun is warm. It feels good supporting local business, too.“

“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.“

“Just left there and met the owner. Everytime I stop there the Vibes are 💯💯💯. Service is ❤️❤️❤️. Seems like she cares or they care about heir employees. 😎😎😎😎😎Love“

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

“If you're looking for some good rolled ice cream in the area, then this is a really solid option. You can do tons of customization with your ice cream. The atmosphere inside the ice cream shop was bright, clean, and welcoming. The good thing is that there's a parking lot just across the street if you can't find parking on the main.“

“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!“

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“Hands down probably the best ice scream I've tried in New Jersey. I was visiting from New York with a group of friends and we found this place on a whim just driving by and decided to check it out. I got the Honey Lavender ice cream, which was to die for. HIGHLY recommend!!“

“Love love love love love love this place and their customer service wouldn't get ice cream anywhere else. Super family orientated.

Latest creation
Eclair mixed with cookies and cream and hot fudge topped with cinnamon churro topped with cones crushed and cookie crumbles“

“gelatis!! ☺️ are the best thing!“

“Rita has always been my favorite spot to eat frozen custards and ice creams, but recently, I discovered this Rita here in Berkeley Heights, and it is such a good spot. There is plenty of parking right in front of it so that you sit in a car and enjoy it. Service is quick and efficient, and ice creams are amazing as always.“

“We enjoy the mango Italian ice 💕💕 Loved the music and ambiance’s Great for families“

“Un yogurt delicioso 😋Con mucha fruta y lo que quieras ponerle pues lo preparas a tu gusto me encanta ir a ese lugar“

“Amazing! I just found my favorite pizza shop! If you’re looking for traditional jersey pie, you’re going to be disappointed.“

“The ice cream and Italian ice taste the same at this location as every other location, which is good. The problem is the selection. I was just at a Ritas in Pennsylvania and they had at least 8 different soft serve ice cream flavors, including cake batter and pistachio among others. This location always only has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Pistachio is my favorite and I got that when I was in Pennsylvania. I also noticed the other Pennsylvania location had more Italian ice flavors as well.“

“I recently visited this spot wanting some ice cream after a hot day. The ice cream was very delightful and nailed the spot for what I was craving. The service was also amazing, I don't usually tend to leave reviews but this place had nothing but positive vibes, I really recommend everyone to check it out and I will for sure stop by this place again.“

“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“

“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 was seen very quickly by the staff and they answered all of my questions about sizes and specials. Kyle happened to be the gentleman who helped me. He was quick and polite. A real pleasure. I felt really bad that I was unable to tip him or the great staff there using my card. Knowing that most don’t carry cash after Covid-19 (because let’s be honest, money was dirty before the pandemic) it seems unfair that the staff is unable to get tips via another method. People who work customer service jobs deserve to be able to receive tips for making sure the customers are taken care of. Thank you so much to the staff for always being polite and quick with every order we requested.“

“I've tried a couple of mochi donuts here and they are all amazing! Not too sweet and the flavors all hit the mark. I've recently stopped by and noticed they had Christmas themed donuts, which is think is so cute, they would be great to bring to a party or to gift to someone.“

“Best Ice Cream. REAL homemade ice cream. Best quality in town. Delicious!“

“It had been a few years since we dined here. The place is still real nice, inside and quite a bit of outdoor seating and a lot of lights. Drinks were good, the croquettes were tasty, my wife wasn't crazy about the 'wedge' salad. It was more like an inch thick steak cut with a nice dressing that was all on one side. We agreed we weren't crazy about the fried onions that covered the salad. A few ok, but there were as many deep fried onions as iceberg lettuce. I wasn't starving so I had the steak tartare which was good, not great. My wife had the prime rib which has a nice table side, cart carving presentation. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't very hot. I thought it was done perfectly, but she would have liked it done a little more. When ordering she was told it came rare and it seemed like that was the rule. Eating the more well-done parts of the nice piece of meat was enough to satisfy her. She can cook the left over any way she wants. Even though we had a late reservation we never felt rushed. The service was friendly. It may not have been perfect, but it was still a nice night out!. .“
