“Mr. Brainfreez Was a Hit!
Mr. Brainfreez had all the classics — soft serve, Italian ice, ice cream sandwiches, and bars — something for everyone to enjoy! He was incredibly polite and patient with the students, making the whole experience smooth and fun.

He helped turn a special occasion into an even more memorable one for our students, and you could tell he genuinely cared about creating a positive experience.

“Me and my family love this place. I get that fatboy excitement when I see a Nicholas Creamery text come in, telling about what new flavor is in. Italian rainbow cookie, cannoli, and pineapple cake being my favorites in that order. However, as of late my pints have been light. Last time it was my cannoli pint, nowhere near full. Ok, 1 time no big deal. Their scoops are almost always healthy. Then today again. My favorite, Italian rainbow cookie is back. So, I got 2 pints. They got them from the back. I didnt check just rushed home so it wouldn't melt and so me and my family could enjoy. Again, nowhere near full. 😑 I feel cheated. Check the pics. That said, I'll still be back“

“Been a while since I've seen a Tom Carvel ad (I suspect he's dipping cones in hot fudge in the heaven location now), and maybe 15+ years since I've enjoyed the custard at Carvel. Have done lotsa DQing. It's okay. And I think the dense, dense thick custard at Rita's may be a richer take on the confection. But Tom's custard was great on a hot late summer day.“

Gracie and the Dudes Ice Cream Shop • $
1062 Ocean Ave, Sea Bright - 3.38 miles

“Sea Bright (NJ), a small town tucked between Shrewsbury River and Atlantic Ocean on the Jersey Shore. Yes there are more popular towns on the Jersey Shore. But this town has Gracie & The Dudes (1062 Ocean Ave Sea Bright, NJ). Plus, one of the better Thai Food joints (Moo Yai Thai, next door) in NJ.

There is something about small-town home-made ice cream by the shore. It always seems creamier and more authentic. The Espresso Coffee flavored ice-cream packs a punch (It will wake you up). Banana with chips is another winner. I had Chocolate with Cherry (really amazing).

I would rather have ice cream at Gracie & The Dudes than some fancy place in a big town. Let me correct that, ideally, I would have the Thai Food (just counter service and take out) at Moo Yai Thai and then go for the ice next door.“

Frozen Custard

“I ordered from Uber eats. They were out of the flavors we had requested but they had called me and fixed all the issues! For some reason Uber eats canceled the order, I called and spoke to the manager and she had no knowledge of the cancellation. She had my order still sitting ready to go! I picked it up and they were so sweet! So apologetic for something completely out of their control! She made sure I understood the price differences and I was perfectly fine with paying whatever the price was! (Huge Rita’s fan) I will absolutely make this my go to Rita’s spot! A great work environment starts with the higher ups! A perfect example was set tonight for her employees! Extremely happy with everything!!“
