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.“

“Delicious ice cream with terrific service. The swirl cone was large and had a perfect mix of vanilla and chocolate taste. I chose rainbow sprinkles as a topping and it was a great choice. I have to bring my husband next time to try his favorite treat of all time chocolate milk shakes.“

“Danielle, the cake maker, is extremely accommodating and talented! She is wonderful with my daughter’s food allergies!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

“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.

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.“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“Awesome Gelato and Outstanding Service every time! I had the Affogato paired with the Hazelnut Gelato, and it was absolutely amazing. The Sorbetto Was Delicious!! The Cookies are also Good and make a great treat on the side. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!“

“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!“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at SOMA Sweets, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience!

From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. The space itself is charming and perfect for a kids’ celebration - bright, fun, and full of sweet details that made the day feel extra special.

What truly stood out, though, was the owner and her team. Their kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. They went above and beyond to make sure every child felt included and had a great time. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

The activities were engaging and age-appropriate, keeping a group of excited 10-year-olds happily entertained (no small feat!). And of course, the sweets and ice cream were absolutely delicious - beautifully made and a huge hit with both kids and adults.

SOMA Sweets made everything feel easy and seamless. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the celebration alongside my daughter, which is the greatest gift.

If you’re looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized place to host a birthday party, I wholeheartedly recommend SOMA Sweets. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you, Monica and team, for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable!“

“I finally got the chance to try Crumbl Cookies and I’m so glad I was able to try the lineup for this week. The cookies were delicious, Kentucky butter cake and sticky bun were my favorite. The pink velvet and Banana upside down cake were tasty as well. The staff was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order even ordering ahead. One of selections ended up being sold out and the workers decided to give me a free cookie. I’ll definitely be back, I can’t wait for next’s week lineup.“

“The young lady who took my order today was wonderful. Polite and didn't rush me and my granddaughter. Thank you.“

“great cookie“

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“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!(:“

“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“

“The ice cream is delicious. You can tell that it's store made, and made fresh. Unlike most ice cream shops today that just buy their ice cream, you can tell the freshness in all of their ingredients.

It's especially a great place to go with the kids. They have a fenced-in area where the kids can play on the giant rocking chair or on the basketball court that they have in the fenced in patio.“

“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!“

“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’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“

“The best local ice cream & ice cream cakes!! They can customize your ice cream cake too. Friendly people!! We love going there with our family and friends!!🍦🎂“

“The food, atmosphere, and staff was fantastic! For starters, the employees were super nice, helpful and patient. I ordered the Banana Split Dazzler Sundae and it was delicious and so worth the price. The atmosphere was wonderful and everything was so clean and organized. Since most businesses have a disheveled atmosphere, Häagen-Dazs did not disappoint at all! Overall, come here! It is amazing and you will not regret it.“

“Always delicious. I would highly recommend ordering a freshly made ice cream cake. Totally a different experience than picking up a frozen cake @ supermarket for not that much more. They need minimum 24 hrs notice 4 ice cream to set. Can also customize. I prefer no whip cream & instead get fudge & crunchies. Always fresh & delicious 😋“

“Best chipwiches around! Try them!“

“Las hamburguesas 👍🏼 estaban riquísimos y las papas con tocino“

“Great price, nice size, clean & friendly.“

“Very tasty treats and is very good priced the only thing is the waffle bowl price is on the waffle cone spot which to be fair it did say “waffle bowl” which I did not see but the price tag should be moved. But besides that it is a great place“

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

“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)“

“Have had pints before. but the walk up window gave us great options of how to spruce up this incredible ice cream. we will be back.“

“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.“

“I’ve used Mike for all our EH schools numerous times. Kids love it and he is so easy to work with.“
