She also mentioned the loyalty program that no one had previously mentioned so I was able to join! Looking forward to coming back !“

“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!!“

“Had ice cream pie dessert at LouCas, Edison, NJ years ago. Was excellent and asked if they made it in house and they gave me Piece of Cake Frozen Specialties card. Since then a huge fan. Have purchased the Sampler Pie as well as many gourmet novelties. Each one is better than the next. My friends have all become customers as well after having it at my house. At my last visit The owner Jim took care of me. N(e had me sample a new product. Vanilla with only a few ingredients with no additives. Delicious. Bought a pint for my husband who loved it. I have gone dairy free the last few months and will go back to try his vegan ice cream. Everyone has to become a customer!“

They let us in and order everything we wanted, food was amazing, we had the mango crepe cake and drinks 10/10. Packaging is beautiful, reusable and well presented. Loved it, would recommend and will come back ???“

The brownies are homemade. There is a theme here. You are in for a gastronomic desert delight! Get to Magic Fountain today! I promise you will want to come back again and again! So many flavors and so little time. Thank you Nick and family for keeping the tradition alive! God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!“

“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.“

“An old-fashioned ice cream parlor in the best town around! We have been regulars here for 10+ years, and the shop only gets better and better. The new(ish) manager is especially awesome and welcoming and supportive of the community.

OK - back to the ice cream. They add new flavors regularly but always keep our favorites on tap (try the vanilla soft serve - seriously!!!) and have gluten-free and other varities. They're efficient and friendly and it's a fantastic experience from start to finish.

So many of our memories are here, and I'm so grateful they're in Madison!

Kid-friendliness: Always welcoming and accepting of kids. They offer samples and have always been so patient with my two!“

“Do you really live in a small east coast or Midwest town if you’re not eagerly awaiting the seasonal opening of the local ice cream shop? Closer to Edison than HP proper, this no-frills ice cream shop in a barn-shaped building serves up some excellent ice cream. They offer everything from soft serve to dole whip.

Some notes for when you go. There’s a limited amount of parking spaces, a small amount of picnic benches for seating, they only take cash, and there’s always a line. It goes pretty quickly though! I highly recommend walking there if you can!

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free and sugar free options.“

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

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“awesome. nice people. great food.“

“This place is so fun and relaxing. All the food tastes great. It was packed full of people and the worker was doing his best to keep the line moving. Also there are so many options with 10 base flavors 23 mix ins and 40 toppings plus 16 regular ice cream flavors and 30 drinks with 7 types of boba tea. They also have 12 recommendations if you cannot pick. [Written by my 10 year old]“

“Love this place!!! I come here all the time! I also wanted to give a big shoutout to the young hispanic man who served me. He gave me the best butter pecan ice cream ever and was very nice and friendly from start until checkout. My mother was very happy when he started speaking in Spanish to her. To say the least, I will be returning often ?“

“I ordered a #Cinderellacake custom made #perfect for my granddaughter’s’ 1st birthday and the employees are very polite the young lady that took my order was very nice.“

“I remember going to this place whenever it was hot outside. The ice cream is delicious and they have many variates. I remember the lady at the counter, she was very nice and always greeted me and my mom whenever we walked in. The inside is clean and smelled very sweet. I love this place and I would absolutely come back! Even on December if it was open. Me love ice cream 🍦“

“Best Mochi Donuts in New Jersey! Owners and Staff are amazing! Great spot to try all kinds of mochi donuts and smoothies. They are expanding their menu to items like sushi, freshly made and other homemade goods.
If you’re looking for some really tasty mochi delights, look no further… Go to MochiMoly!

Kid-friendliness: The place is bright, colorful and vibrant. Owners and staff keep their business very clean for their customers. It’s a must try! ??“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

“Great people inside the counter with great service Thank you“

“There were 4 vegan flavors when I went (watermelon sorbet, mango sorbet, oatly vanilla, and oatly latte). I enjoyed all of them. For toppings, I got wet walnuts, which were very delicious, and oreo pieces. There used to be vegan cookie dough bites that I really enjoyed, but I didn't see them this time (there were cookie dough bites, but not labeled as vegan). I would like some more vegan flavors and toppings to make this place even better.“

“This place has the best Lychee frozen yogurt I’ve had in my life. I dream about it. 5 stars if they keep it on the menu more cuz it’s been gone for a bit. It’s truly a transformative experience. ?

** update they have the Lychee 07/12 ??? SO GOOD“

“Freddy's is awesome. Best burgers in NJ.“

“When i went here to Dunkin Donuts (Or Baskins Robbins as Google calls it) was pretty simple and straightforward. I came here and placed an order for a donut while in the drive thru and after a short wait, i got my donut which was pretty sweet.They also did a renovation to their store a short while ago which looks pretty nice to hats off to them.“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

“Dining at Stonehouse was easily one of the best experiences I have ever had. From the
moment we walked in, the elegant decor and serene atmosphere set the perfect backdrop for
our evening. The interior design strikes a wonderful balance between sophistication and
comfort, creating a welcoming space that encourages conversation and relaxation. The live
piano player added a delightful touch, enhancing the ambiance with soft melodies that created a
cocktail lounge feel throughout our meal.
Our server, Courtney, was truly exceptional and made our dining experience even more
memorable. Full of energy and charisma, she attended to our needs with a warm smile and
genuine enthusiasm. Someone in our party even remarked,
"She's the best server we've ever
had,
" which was beyond true. Courtney's recommendations were spot on, and her attention to
detail ensured that our experience was seamless from start to finish.
We began our meal with perfectly cooked and flavorful calamari, which was tender and
seasoned just right. It was a fantastic way to kick off our dining experience. We also decided to
share a Caesar salad as our first course, which was fresh and crisp, featuring generous portions
of romaine lettuce and a delicious dressing that perfectly complemented the dish.
For our main courses, we were all thrilled with our choices. The duck breast was presented
beautifully, with a rich sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. I opted for the salmon, which
sat atop a bed of fingerling potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The salmon was cooked to
perfection, flaky and flavorful, making every bite a delight. The cocktails were high quality, and I
want to try more on my next visit. The Boozy Bee was such a nice drink—refreshing and
perfectly balanced.
To round off our meal, we indulged in the desserts, which were nothing short of amazing. Each
dessert was beautifully crafted and offered a sweet ending to a perfect night.
As a special touch, Joshua Weissbard, the general manager, stopped by our table to check in
and presented us with a small keepsake to commemorate the evening. This thoughtful gesture
truly exemplified the outstanding service we received throughout our dining experience.
We cannot wait to return to Stonehouse and request Courtney again. Thank you for an unforgettable evening.“

“Super busy on a Tuesday night. It was my first time inside and it was very confusing as to where to go and how to order- no one greeted us or anything which is a little odd. We figured it out and enjoyed our cookies. There was a pretty long wait“

“Good deals on wednesday but need to clarify with server and didn't get whipped cream and cherry on my sundae.

Parking: Small parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Grat for kids lots of toppings and options

Wheelchair accessibility: First floo“

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

“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!“
