35 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.“

“This cuuute spot stole my heart. We tasted ice creams, 2 got hot chocolate with home made marshmallows, drinking to the last drop of perfection. I choose the chocolate cupcake vanilla frosted & cherished every minute of the tasty treat. Each bite was packed with perfection, moist chocolate cake with real cocoa, and a sweet memorable buttercream that I will have to buy a pint of on my next visit. (Order online ahead of time). Super fresh and delicious. Oh& the staff we're pleasant, patient, joyful.“

“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!!“

“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 ???“

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

“great ice cream so worth the wait“

“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.“

“Looooove this bake shop. Ever since I moved to the area, they are my go to for all celebrations . Best bakery hands down. If you are in doubt, I am here to tell you to go for it. Well worth it everytime

Kid-friendliness: Bright and airy shop to go in and order or pick up cake orders

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible via wheelchair“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“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 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.“

“love the bubble tea and general atmosphere“

“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“

“Amazing ice cream, staff is super friendly“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The ice cream-period! Whenever I’m on Route 18 and have a taste for ice cream, they’re the go to place for delicious cones and shakes.“

“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“

“DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS EVENT WAS 11/23/2022, but for some reason review wouldn’t post. And I can only choose does recommend…. But I do not Had a LAUGHABLE experience here this morning, over a misunderstanding about time. I came an about 9:20am to pick up a cake I ordered over the phone about two days ago. I thought she said 9am - 1pm. Clearly not because as I poked my head in I was greeted with extremely agitated aggressive woman who bombard with “why are you here?” Repeatedly. As I tried to explain why I was there. She continued to say she was busy. And in the middle of doing 75 order, she would have never told me to come this early and, why was I there over again. Yes, to a paying customer. When I didn’t even enter the store. I poked my head in. She could have said the pick up times to me again and to please come back later. Since it is too early for pick up. I would have gladly walk out the door and came back at the correct time. Needless to say the owner of this business is a horrendous woman. I will never use this business again and I will encourage everyone I know , to do the same.“

“Stopped in for lunch the food was delicious. They had a nice selection of soup and sandwiches. Next time I will have to try the ice cream!“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“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!“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“I tried to order through Uber Eats and my order got canceled due to out of stock. Then I edited it to get a new cake, and even though I was overseas, they tried to contact me. The replacement cake was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly nice. I can't thank them enough because this cake was so important to me.“

“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.“

“Yummy ice cream, the best ice cream cakes, and good crunchies!“
