43 Best Ice Cream Shops near Franklin Park

“Love their custard but they really need to give the customer what they pay for. $5 for a large and they fill it like it's a small. My second issue with this place; consistency is key.“

“We had 3 sets of 3 scoops. 3 different people with 3 very different tastes in ice cream. 9 different flavors. They were all wonderful and exciting. This is not your ordinary ice cream shop but please do not let that deter you from trying them out. Just expect to be a bit adventurous and go for it. They are a small batch artisan style shop with many unique flavors to try. We also grabbed 4 pints of other flavors to take home and try. The owner was awesome, explained all of the flavors and offered samples. The inside was very cute with a good amount of seating for an ice cream shop. Please go and try them out because this is the type of place that would be truly missed by anyone that has visited.“

“Long line, worth the wait. Friendly servers despite the onslaught of customers!“

“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!!“

“The most flavorful hard ice cream! The Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle? ::chef's kiss:: We mixed it with the cappuccino (great coffee flavor!) and my non-sweet-eating husband ate his half. The kids had a handful of very colorful chocolate dipped waffle cones to choose from and enjoyed their delicious colorbomb on the bench outside. They got the crazy vanilla (because rainbows are fun to eat!) and it was not only pretty but also had a really nice vanilla flavor. We'll definitely be going out of our way for this stop again! Also, special thanks to the counter staff for being extra patient with us.“

“Absolutely in love with the taste of the fresh creamy delicious ice cream. The owner hit the jackpot with their staff, they all provide a perfect scoop and just the right amount. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a tasty treat.

“We came past 10:30pm and they close at 10:30, they were super sweet, nice and attentive. 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 ???“

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“Great place! Friendly staff“

“great ice cream so worth the wait“

“Excellent ice cream, best quality“

“Great pastry and wonderful black tea. The person behind the counter was very hospitable and friendly. I definitely recommend the cream puffs.“

“An old fashioned ice cream spot with tables to sit at and enjoy a nice treat. They have an excellent small vanilla shake and they don't skimp on the whipped cream. It costs about $5 and the sizing is more equivalent to a medium. All of the ice cream tastes fresh. Although prices are higher than we are used to, the quality is worth the cost. They have parking on each side and if you want to sit and rest on a bench near a tree nearby they have that option. They could benefit from some nice planters in the front. I will be back for their excellent shakes during the summer.“

“Been there couple of times already. Love the small-town cash-only hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cash-only could be inconvenience for some, but once you know the game, you’ll be ready with cash next time! Love both soft serve and hard ice creams. Friendly staff too.“

“My daughter's birthday cake was delicious and beautiful. We received non stop compliments on the taste and how gorgeous it was. Karen went above and beyond to make sure all the details were correct and we had the cake in time. I can't wait to use Blue Sheep again for my next event.“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“I had a great experience at this place! I got a matcha latte and it came out absolutely perfect. The girl at the counter, Laura, was extremely friendly and helpful. She made my drink quickly and efficiently.

This place also has an amazing ambiance to get some work done and plenty of seating. Will definitely be back!“

“Saffron in Piscataway offers an exceptional Indian dining experience, blending authentic flavors with an elegant ambiance. The diverse menu, welcoming staff, and beautifully crafted dishes make it a must-visit for food lovers!“

“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.“

“Yum for the whole family!!! They’ll blow you away with the flavors and large array of selections. Lexie crafted the tastiest most well balanced coke float I’ve had in a long while.👏🙌🙌👏 Be back soon!!“

“Love love love love love love this place and their customer service wouldn't get ice cream anywhere else. Super family orientated.

“Ice cream - both hard & soft-serve, ice pops, and other frozen treats with all the trimmings and toppings. They also have an eclectic mix of candies and toys, plus a few trinkets and gift items. Prices are comparably reasonable. Located right on Hamilton Street with plenty of on site parking. The service is outside (thru windows), so they're not always open on the colder days. But it's a great place to hang out on one of the benches when the sun is warm. It feels good supporting local business, too.“

“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!“

“Went here on a whim and really enjoyed it. They have a bunch of unique and tasty flavors. I saw cakes for sale, and they sell take-out pints/gallons of ice cream in addition to cones/cups.

The staff was really friendly and helpful in navigating all the flavor choices. Your group can sample up to 5 flavors.

Eight of us agreed this was a great choice and a delicious dessert option.

Vegetarian options: 100% vegetarian“

“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.“

“I have had several frozen yogurt flavors. They were all delicious. On occasion, I order a smoothie which also is terrific. The staff at Fruity Yogurt are friendly, courteous, and professional. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and the store is always meticulously clean. A great place to go in Princeton.“

“The ice cream and Italian ice taste the same at this location as every other location, which is good. The problem is the selection. I was just at a Ritas in Pennsylvania and they had at least 8 different soft serve ice cream flavors, including cake batter and pistachio among others. This location always only has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Pistachio is my favorite and I got that when I was in Pennsylvania. I also noticed the other Pennsylvania location had more Italian ice flavors as well.“

“The ice and gelato are terrific“

“I've tried a couple of mochi donuts here and they are all amazing! Not too sweet and the flavors all hit the mark. I've recently stopped by and noticed they had Christmas themed donuts, which is think is so cute, they would be great to bring to a party or to gift to someone.“

“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!“

“Ice cream was good and the people working were super friendly. I am mainly writing this to sincerely thank the young man working Feb 4 who chased me down after I left my wallet. I had an early flight the next day and would have been stuck!!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“Amazing ice cream, staff is super friendly“

“The brownie barge was amazing! We got the apple pie ice cream with it and it was so good! Can't wait to go back“

“love the bubble tea and general atmosphere“

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!“

“We had a great experience for our son’s birthday party! Responsive, reliable, and affordable!“

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“Un yogurt delicioso 😋Con mucha fruta y lo que quieras ponerle pues lo preparas a tu gusto me encanta ir a ese lugar“

“Best Ice Cream. REAL homemade ice cream. Best quality in town. Delicious!“

“The best ice cream ever! Try a blend-in— my go to is vanilla with Butterfinger! They have a ton of different flavors and toppings. They even have dairy free if you are allergic like my son is!“

“Undeniably the finest ice cream in the entire state. Their vanilla soft serve is on another level, richer, smoother, and more flavorful than anything I’ve ever had. It’s clear why this place has been a beloved landmark since 1981. The secret? A product that speaks for itself, simply unmatched in quality.“

“Had a mix up with a custom cake... but they were ready to go above and beyond to fix the issue. Mistakes happen; it's how a company reacts to them that makes the difference. And besides that, the cake we did get was a hit with the recipient and delicious!“
