“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!“

Definitely RECOMMENDED this spot for great bubble tea, Ice cream & Dessert.

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“Great homemade taste! Rotating flavors plus the classics. Tried a few: mango graham was surprising, matcha was so rich with a toasted flavor. Chose the chocolate covered cookies and cream and it was delicious in a wafer cone. I’m usually a sugar cone person but these gourmet wafer cones are crispy and didn’t end up soggy. The scooper generously jammed gelato down into the cone, not just a scoop on top. Btw every cup serving gets a micro sized sugar cone garnish on top!“

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

“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.“

“We were visiting from San Antonio Texas and this is the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted!“

“I own my own Ice Cream shop but after dining at this fine establishment, I might have to close my shop down because my ice cream can NEVER compete with this. I got the Low Fat Triple chocolate yogurt because I got to watch my figure and it was so good, it had me hitting my happy dance like that tiktoker John Loves Food in the middle of the whole store. Thing was so good it was practically orgasmic, Atmosphere? Great! Service? Great! The managers at this establishment were so good I wanted to hire them for my place. This is the perfect place for a date or if you're just single like me and craving Ice Cream.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Every detail from the warm welcome at the door to the unforgettable flavors shows passion and authenticity. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels both like home and a luxury treat at the same time. I love their coffee and I always try different desserts every single one has turned out delicious, especially after asking the lovely owner for recommendations! ❤️ You won’t just taste the difference here, you’ll feel it. A must visit spot that raises the bar for everyone else in the area!“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“First time coming here and the vibes are amazing. The customer service and the music is great for sure. Got a Daddy Yankee yo and my family got 2 Malumas. Both taste and look amazing. I also got a Elote with a Picada. The food was outstanding overall this place is a must come to for sure. I’ll be here again with the family.“

“My daughter had a play date and her new best friend lives near by this ice cream place, it's a hidden gem they prepared the rolled ice cream and the bubble crepes fresh right in front of you, you got to be a little patience as sometimes there is a line and the 2 servers is doing their very best to prepared all orders according to what received, we ordered Nutella rolled and strawberry banana crepes and both devoured by our kids and both loves it so much, my daughter already asking me to comeback so we can try a different ice cream menu, inside the place is organized and clean, both server is really helpful, I have no complaint with service and everything is delicious, we will definitely coming back soonest.“

“Gelato Rice balls calzoni“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in NJ – Salaam Ice Cream Parlor is a Must-Visit
it’s a full experience. The place is vibrant, clean, and welcoming, with a unique cultural charm that sets it apart from your typical ice cream shop .
The ice cream in question? rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classic vanilla bean or want to try something new . every scoop is crafted with care and creativity. The waffle cones are crisp and honestly addictive.
What truly makes Salaam stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the community and the people who walk up to get icecream.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Salaam Ice Cream Parlor deserves a spot at the top of your list. It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a place that brings people together.“

“Really nice, polite and courteous staff members. Very well recommended!“

“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.“

“The first time here is the best in Staten Island. Lines to buy the icee's. You can eat the icee made with water or milk. I recommend the maracuya, coconut, cherry, and strawberry, all made with real fruit and have pieces of fruit in it. People from other places come to buy in pint sizes to take home. I wish I lived there. I would have bought several pints, but I was visiting.“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“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 kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

“Great customer service every time I visit. My banana boat be xtra sloppy like I asked them to make it. DELICIOUS ����������������������....the flavor slushies ������“

“We were first timer’s today… the girl that help us was so sweet and kind! The service was excellent! My son loved the brown sugar milk with bubbles!“

“Great people, great customer service, and great ice cream.“

“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 and soup!“

“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!“

“We were looking for a frozen yogurt place close to us and found one! You can select from the variety of flavors and toppings they offer and there’s even space for you and your family to sit down and enjoy your yogurt. The staff was also wonderful, we were greeted immediately and he gave us sample cups to try out a couple of flavors! If you’re looking for some delicious froyo close to home, this is the spot!! 😊 we will definitely be coming back soon!“

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

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

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“
