50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hawthorne

“My son and I had such a great visit. The owners are so friendly and nice. On top of that, it’s the best ice cream I have ever had! I live 20 minutes away and I will definitely be visiting again soon“

“Delicious and great customer service“

“I had a fantastic experience! The store manager, was so attentive and cordial. I had no intention of buying anything and i ended up with a bunch of gelato and chocolate. Thank you, Devin!!

Parking: Easy to park. Its at the mall.“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!! Made the experience that much better. Nice to see the spot were the final episode was filmed but if we lived closer we would come back for the food!! So glad David Chase picked Holsten’s!!“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“Thanks for the yelp elite invite. In little part of town is a hidden gem. Must have past it numerous times. What a great experience! It was my first visit at New Territories, a Hong Kong inspired ice cream and dessert shop. When I walked in, I was greeted by nuz one of the workers there. Warm welcome & big smile.She was super informative about the menu and so much fun to talk to. Then I met the owner , Pete. Explained to me to story of the store pretty amazing. They are famous for their bubble waffles. Was hot and fresh with along with vanilla ice cream & sprinkles. I had the double lemon float with lemonade and lemon sherbet as well. Store was very clean. There was about 15 flavors of ice cream to choose from. Definitely will be going back. Was able to snap a photo with Pete as well… “”OFF THE RECORD… he made another waffle no charge. for me before I left… let’s say didn’t make it home. :) oh almost forgot they have amazing fresh cut fruit açaí bowls… sorry pete… the waffles got to me….“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“We really enjoyed the ice cream — the flavors were delicious and super fresh. The guy working there was very friendly and helped us choose the right flavors, which made the experience even better.

“How many licks does it take to get to the end of the 2025 Lick Your Way Through NJ Ice Cream Tour? 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅! Finished at Randy’s so we could personally hand our completed cards to the man who had the idea and started it. Thank you, Randy, and thanks to all the other shops along the way for participating!“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“I own my own Ice Cream shop but after dining at this fine establishment, I might have to close my shop down because my ice cream can NEVER compete with this. I got the Low Fat Triple chocolate yogurt because I got to watch my figure and it was so good, it had me hitting my happy dance like that tiktoker John Loves Food in the middle of the whole store. Thing was so good it was practically orgasmic, Atmosphere? Great! Service? Great! The managers at this establishment were so good I wanted to hire them for my place. This is the perfect place for a date or if you're just single like me and craving Ice Cream.“

“Always wanted to try this ice cream spot since the mall opened and glad I did. Well worth the wait and found it to taste like the name. Creamy and delicious.

The guy helping us out was super nice and let me try as many samples as I wanted. Would come back every time I visit American Dream.“

“SO GOOD !!

I had the charcoal mocha w pb and Reese’s - the ice cream was more coffee than chocolate in flavor; I should have sampled beforehand

Great summer evening to sit outside and ENJOY“

“We were visiting from San Antonio Texas and this is the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Every detail from the warm welcome at the door to the unforgettable flavors shows passion and authenticity. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels both like home and a luxury treat at the same time. I love their coffee and I always try different desserts every single one has turned out delicious, especially after asking the lovely owner for recommendations! ❤️ You won’t just taste the difference here, you’ll feel it. A must visit spot that raises the bar for everyone else in the area!“

“My daughter had a play date and her new best friend lives near by this ice cream place, it's a hidden gem they prepared the rolled ice cream and the bubble crepes fresh right in front of you, you got to be a little patience as sometimes there is a line and the 2 servers is doing their very best to prepared all orders according to what received, we ordered Nutella rolled and strawberry banana crepes and both devoured by our kids and both loves it so much, my daughter already asking me to comeback so we can try a different ice cream menu, inside the place is organized and clean, both server is really helpful, I have no complaint with service and everything is delicious, we will definitely coming back soonest.“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“Gelato Rice balls calzoni“

“Every time the door opens the owners are always smiling and very welcoming. A warm wanted feeling is nice for a customer to feel. Especially these days. The ice cream is ALWAYS fresh. The place is always clean as well.“

“what do I recommend? The ice cream....“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

“This business is top notch and made my experience ordering a cake for my mom's birthday so easy and pick up was very smooth. Highly recommended, even if you are just stopping through town!“

“delicioso 🤤 buena atencion 🎉“

“Awesome Gelato and Outstanding Service every time! I had the Affogato paired with the Hazelnut Gelato, and it was absolutely amazing. The Sorbetto Was Delicious!! The Cookies are also Good and make a great treat on the side. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!“

“The first time I stopped recently, on a 85 degree day, the service was great!
I ordered a vanilla ice cream soda; vanilla soda with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The next time I went last Saturday at night the girl didn't have the faintest idea of what vanilla soda was. Finally I got what I wanted but it was annoying. I understand if she was new
But teach her. Otherwise I love their ice cream!“

“Thank you for your support of Eastbrook’s class of 2021!“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“The most amazing experience ever. Can’t say enough. Both Mary and Philip are the sweetest and were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I had a Valentine’s event on feb15th which needed to be rescheduled to the 22nd and I canceled the order last minute for 30 boxes of chocolate covered strawberries. They didn’t charge me a single cent. I got the same order for the following week and they did an absolutely amazing job. The BEST CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES EVER!!!! I highly recommend them and they have loyal customer for life ❤️❤️“

“Excellent shave ice and ramen!“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“Amazing tasting ice cream at great prices accompanied by great service“

“The kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

“I’ve been to this franchise only twice and love everything from the flavors to the toppings! Just so yummy, highly recommend“

“Really nice, polite and courteous staff members. Very well recommended!“

“We used to walk there from the house over 50 years ago. Pick up a dozen Dilly Bars (I think they call them Buster bars now). I always knew the staff because we grew up together. So much more than memories !“

“Have a chat with Santa he is a treat ! 🥰“

“I have not physically been to their store, but have watched their TikToks and live stream.( J did an absolutely stunning job with the cakes she was making today. She did happy birthday cakes, to streamers, to a gory unicorn cake that represented a Halloween theme. She is very fast handed and very detail oriented when it comes to making those cakes come to life! She also went over how she makes roses on cakes as well which as her least favorite part, was my favorite part. It was pretty fascinating and captivating learning more about the art of cakes! We also were able to see her role from cake making, to her customer service abilities. In my opinion she was pretty kickass! She is very spunky and very funny. Mike has cultivated a very positive workplace where they have fun with the job, which is what it should be about. My strongest advise is don’t knock it till you try it for yourself! Don’t listen to others opinions until you have witnessed them, their cakes, and other goodies for yourself. Not everything online is what is seems! Go check them out!(:“

“Great people, great customer service, and great ice cream.“

“Awesome place! Went here for a scoop with a couple coworkers after a hard day at work. I really appreciated their prices, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal. The kiddie scoop was three bucks, whether you got hard scoop or soft serve. I got coffee hard scoop. Most places have a surcharge for hard scoop, but this place doesn’t. I appreciate that kind of honest pricing. There are tables to sit at that are shaded and service was good. Coworker got their version of a blizzard and said it was really good. This place keeps it simple and does ice cream well.“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“We were looking for a frozen yogurt place close to us and found one! You can select from the variety of flavors and toppings they offer and there’s even space for you and your family to sit down and enjoy your yogurt. The staff was also wonderful, we were greeted immediately and he gave us sample cups to try out a couple of flavors! If you’re looking for some delicious froyo close to home, this is the spot!! 😊 we will definitely be coming back soon!“

“Friendliest parlor around! Good prices, benches outside to sit and enjoy your ice cream.“
