50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dunellen

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

“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“

“Very nice,friendly. Tasty flavors and many choices to choose from.“

“Today was our second time getting take out, ordered two different dishes and both were excellent as were the two we got a week ago. They "get it" when it comes to balanced flavor, variety of veggies and even the way they cut them with a special slicer was perfect. Truly Thai is now our go-to Thai food destination. I hope it doesn't change and they keep up this quality.“

“could not recommend more. excellent variety of flavors, including vegan / dairy free. Idk how they make it but this is truly the best ice cream I've ever had in my 30 years of life. Sizes are generous and they have been careful with allergies while serving my family.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“I love all the flavors I’ve tried so far, but the Graham Central Station is incredible!!!“

“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!! 😋🍦🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“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!“

“10/10! Ordered a custom cake for my daughter’s confirmation. It was gorgeous ! And it tasted amazing ! The buttercream was so fluffy, the cake was perfect texture and the Oreo filling was delish ! The design detail was amazing. I would definitely order again for other occasions. Thanks for making it special for her.“

“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!“

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

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

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Great place, with a great variety! My dad is allergic to dairy, and they had a few options for him. I loved that the staff was so accommodating and still tasted amazing.
cash only so make sure to bring cash! Had places to sit and Parking“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“Really fun little spot at Berkeley Heights for a sweet treat on a hot day! The frozen custard is creamy and delicious, and the variety of Italian ice flavors is impressive. Service is quick and friendly — great for a casual stop with kids or friends. Just one heads-up: the Italian ice melts very quickly — mine turned into sugary water in no time. Still, overall a nice experience — just eat fast.“

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

“This place is absolutely amazing people working here are very generous, helpful, kind and respectful TOTALLY 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💕💕💕💕💕💕them , clean place nicely managed and patience with customers. I ❤️ ed experience with 💕Ranjan,💕 Manu, 💕Bunny all these person on all different time I had good experiences so I can tell they have good kind ❤️ly staff 👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped by ZRolls Ice Cream in downtown Summit on a sunny Saturday afternoon—perfect timing for a cool treat after strolling Springfield Avenue. Tucked at 452 Springfield Ave., the shop has a vibrant, modern vibe with colorful signage and a window where you can watch the magic happen. It's a fun spot for families or anyone craving something Instagram-worthy, and the outdoor seating is a nice touch on good days.
Their specialty is Thai-style rolled ice cream, made fresh to order with customizable bases like vanilla or mango, plus mix-ins (think Oreos, fresh fruits, or mochi) and toppings. I built my own roll with a strawberry base, mixed in brownie chunks and strawberries, then topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle—$9 well spent. It was creamy, not too sweet, and the rolling process added that cool, theatrical element. My kiddo loved their Cookie Monster roll (blue vanilla with cookies), which was a hit for the vibrant color and fun texture. The staff was super friendly and efficient, explaining options patiently even during the lunch rush.
A couple of small gripes kept it from a perfect score: The wait was about 15 minutes since everything's made fresh, which is understandable but a bit long if you're in a hurry. Portions are generous but the price adds up if you're getting extras—could feel pricey for a quick dessert. Also, it was a tad sticky inside from the summer heat, though the AC was blasting.
Overall, ZRolls brings a fresh twist to ice cream in Summit—delicious, customizable, and entertaining. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby, especially for the unique rolls you won't find at your standard scoop shop. Planning to go back for their seasonal flavors!“

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

“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“

“I have been eating tofutti cream cheese and sour cream for years. They are the closest and most delicious plant based options for both. I also use them in cooking and they melt well and still retain their flavors and consistency. Absolute power houses of versatility. They made going vegan so much easier.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great ice cream, awesome service and they provided ice cream all summer long to a bunch of previously homeless veterans at our local VA hospital. WOW!!! You guys are the best.“

“We had a great experience for our son’s birthday party! Responsive, reliable, and affordable!“

“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.“
