“CONE ZONE HAS BANGERS ONLY!

Cone Zones ice cream cakes are like Carvel on another level. When you cut into them, there are so many chocolate crunchies, they fall all over your plate like a piñata. Then that layer of yellow cake in between slaps every time.
They’ll create any type of decoration you want on an ice cream cake. You can email them any picture and they’ll print it out and put it on the ice cream cake for you. They even helped me celebrate twice when I almost got charged with third degree bicycle robbery, so they’ve been there for me for some key life moments.
On top of all that, if you’re too smacked to go pick up your ice cream, you can get it delivered! And don’t even get me started on their Peanut Butter Crunch ice cream flavor omg“

“Now this is a way better and more AWESOME!!! ice cream truck service, safety updated with an electric swing arm stop sign like on school buses which is extremely AWESOME , safe, clear, and recognizable because octagon means STOP whereas sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end means SLOW unlike some other ice cream truck services that still have the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is confusing.“

“Avery & Jay’s Handcrafted Ice Cream in Liberty Commons is basically a mitzvah and a nisayon in one place. You walk in “just to look,” and two minutes later you’re holding a towering sundae like you just got a shtikel nachas from Shamayim.
First of all, the place is mamash classy—clean, bright, and everything looks fresh and made b’kavod. You can tell they take the “handcrafted” part seriously, not just a nice word they put on the sign. The ice cream is smooth, rich, and legit “wow” from the first bite. And if you’re into Italian ice / soft serve / sundaes / waffles—they’ve got the whole sugya, with plenty of options to make you rethink your entire diet plan.
Now here’s the best part: you start simple—“one scoop, a regular cup.” Then you see toppings. Then you see the sundaes. Then your yetzer hara puts on a bekishe and starts giving you svaros:
“Take whipped cream—It’s basically air.”
“Sprinkles? That’s just simcha.”
“Waffle cone? That’s a kli, not a ta’ava.” 😄
And the staff? Sweet, patient, and helpful, even when you’re standing there like you’re choosing a shidduch: “Is this one more creamy? How’s this one? What’s the difference between these two?” They don’t rush you—very menschlich.
Perfect stop after errands in Liberty Commons, a family outing, or when you just need a quick pick-me-up that turns into a full-on “okay, we’re celebrating something now” moment.
Bottom line: If you’re anywhere near Jackson, do yourself a favor and go. Just don’t tell yourself “I’m only getting a small.” That’s not how this place works. 😉“

“Yismach Yisroel is the kind of ice cream shop that makes you feel like you’re five years old again — in a good way, not the tantrum kind.

If you’ve ever needed a foolproof way to bribe—ahem—encourage your kids to behave in Westgate, this is the place. One mention of “Maybe we’ll stop by Yismach Yisroel…” and suddenly everyone is holding hands and saying Tehillim.

The store is bright, cheerful, and stocked like a dream:
• Ice creams, toppings, slushies — basically everything your kids will ask for before you even finish reading the menu.
• Tons of little toys and prizes on full display, expertly positioned at perfect “Tatty can we pleeeeease? 😇” height.
• Clean tables, quick service, and a staff that actually seems happy to help, which already puts them above half the places in town.

The portions are generous (Lakewood style — “small” means “don’t let it fall over”), the flavors hit the spot, and the whole vibe is just… geshmak. Great for families, great for bochurim looking to cool down after night seder, and great for parents who need five minutes of quiet while the kids focus on their soft serve like it’s a life mission.

Westgate parking can sometimes be a matzav, but once you’re inside, it’s all smooth sailing — just smiles, sprinkles, and a sugar rush waiting to happen.

Bottom line:
If happiness came in a cup, it would look exactly like the ice cream at Yismach Yisroel. A top-tier Lakewood treat and a solid 5-star stop.“

“This is a locally owned, seasonally open, dairy queen. This site only offers ice cream, unlike larger restaurants. Greg, the owner, employs local kids and is a very friendly local business owner. Highly recommend dropping in and supporting local.“

“The ice cream was delicious!!!“

“Great Italian ice!! Love getting them for dessert L’kavod shabbos Kodesh!! Vanilla, cotton candy, and blue raspberry are my favorite as of today!! Gotta try them all though! I remember when the sample spoon was bigger but now we got shrinkflation!! And seriously?? They charge for empty cups?? Give me a break!! But hey, the staff were very nice and the food was great so they’ve got me as a customer!!“

“Thank you so much Kelly and Chrissy for a delicious cake! Not one piece is left! Creamy ice cream and awesome crunchies!!!“

“Love the location right on Main Street. Plenty of outdoor seating and it's nice to walk around Freehold with a cold treat. The custard is rich and creamy, and the Italian ice has real fruit flavor. I got a gelati (custard layered with ice) and it hit the spot.

Only complaint is they were out of a few flavors when I went, which seems to happen often at this location. Also a bit pricey for what you get.

Still a solid spot for dessert on a warm night.“

“On 2/7 I ordered A large ice cream sheet cake from my mom‘s 94th birthday. Molly and her coworkers did not have the large, but they had two mediums. They are both absolutely beautiful. They went above and beyond with the decorating and I love how they even put happy birthday to her on the bag that they came in. Thank you, Jessica and crew for always being consistent and going above and beyond.“

“Great experience! Ordered 2 ice cream cakes for my father's birthday. They were amazing and the customer service from start to finish was exceptional. Will be ordering my birthday cakes from these guys in the future. Thank you and awesome job!!!!!!!!“

“This is such a great Carvel! I come here in person with my little ones and also order via DoorDash. Every experience has been great and the staff is so nice. I have to give a special shout out to Devi who ALWAYS takes the best care of us and gets the orders exactly right!!!!! Truly above and beyond!“

“Tonight I ran across the sweetest young lady with a heart full of compassion. My apple pay was failing me and I couldn’t pay for my child’s ice cream; then Cheinha (our server who helped us with such eagerness from start to finish) payed my balance. While I plan on going back and gifting this young lady; I wanted to shout her out for her act of kindness because in the world we live in that type of “love for your fellow man” isn’t seen to often anymore and it was definitely appreciated . Thank you SO MUCH again Ms. Cheinha! God Bless!“

“Best Carvel around!“

“This place is a lot better than Dairy Queen in my opinion“

“Hands down the best ice cream around! The ice cream is incredibly creamy, packed with flavor, and there are so many delicious options to choose from. The staff is always friendly, the shop is clean, and every visit feels like a treat. Whether you’re getting a classic flavor or trying something new, you really can’t go wrong.“

“Delicious ice cream and many yummy choices for any dieter to satisfy the palate. Ice Cream 🍨🍦🎂🍧Rules“

“They only had one guy behind the counter, but he was flying, as fast as 3 workers. Was pretty amazing to see. Could have been in a video of fastest workers on YouTube. This guy wasn't just fast.... HE WAS FAST! Oh. And they had a lady doing checkout.Don't know his name, but as long as this dude is there, you never really have to worry how long the line is as it'll only be a few minutes either way.“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Sprinkles – Lakewood North: The Only Place Where You Come for Ice Cream and Leave Questioning Every Middah You Ever Thought You Had

Let me tell you, walking into Sprinkles after a long day is mamash like entering Gan Eden — if Gan Eden had neon signs, kids running around with sprinkle-covered faces, and bochurim debating which flavor is “yeshivish enough.”

I came in thinking I’d be normal and get a small cone. Cute idea. Adorable.
Two minutes in, I’m standing there like a lost sheep while the guy behind the counter goes, “Nu, so what are you getting?”
And suddenly I’m ordering a double scoop, extra toppings, full send, like I didn’t promise myself last Chol Hamoed I’d “cut down.”

THE ICE CREAM:
Next level.
Creamy, smooth, geshmak — the kind of ice cream where after the first bite you’re like, “Okay, maybe the world is a good place.”
The flavors slap. The toppings are fresh. The presentation is so nice it almost makes you feel guilty eating it. Almost.

THE VIBE:
Peak Lakewood energy.
Mothers with strollers, bochurim pretending they’re only here because “the chevra wanted,” and that one guy who definitely came for a shake but is pretending to browse like he’s making life decisions.

It’s loud, it’s lively, it’s lebedig — mamash a taste of Klal Yisroel coming together for one purpose: frozen sugar and happiness.

THE SERVICE:
Quick, friendly, and zero judgment when I changed my order three times.
“Can I get a chocolate shake? No wait, vanilla. Actually, do you have mocha? No? Okay fine, chocolate again.”
They handled it like pros.
Not once did they give me the classic “bochur please” look. Respect.

PERSONAL MOMENT:
I took my first sip of the shake and immediately understood why people come here even in the middle of winter wrapped in a coat like it’s Antarctica.
It hits the spot, fills the neshamah, and for a solid 6 minutes you forget about life responsibilities like laundry, rent, or that you still haven’t called your mother back.

OVERALL:
If you’re in Lakewood and in the mood for something cold, sweet, and spiritually uplifting, Sprinkles North is a MUST.
It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s fresh, and it’s the perfect place to reward yourself for absolutely anything — finishing a seder, surviving a siyum, or just because “why not?”

Highly recommend.
Just don’t meditate on how many calories are in that shake. That’s bittul simcha.“

“My kids & I luv the variety of tea drinks, shakes & wraps. We go there all the time since they’ve opened & never a complaint. The staff is awesome! Gina, Bella, Aggie & all of them are just great �“
