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

“Delicious ice cream! Courteous and helpful staff. Best malted milkshake I've had in a long time. Black raspberry ice cream was also on point! Cute candy counter too. Free street parking and a small parking lot behind the building (a bit dangerous on foot in the parking lot FYI if you have little kids).“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“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….“

“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.“

“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.“

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Everything we have had has been an A+ The UBE ice cream is my family’s favorite. My 4 year old has been obsessed with it since she was 2. It’s a great family experience and the owner Chona couldn’t be a nicer person. She goes above and beyond for me every time I go in there. I wish every owner had the same energy, respect, and friendliness that Chona has. All the workers are extremely helpful and friendly as well. I strongly suggest to give Kubo a try you won’t be sorry.“

“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!“

“I had the Baileys Irish Cream flavor. So good. Nice place. Nice owners. Can taste any flavor before you decide what you want.“

“This visit may have been the highlight of my entire life to date. I ordered the cowabunga cream sundae and this young gentleman provided not only the sweetest treat but the friendliest and most delightful service I've received at any place of business. Would come here every day if I could ⏸️“

Very popular among Ridgewood residents. But I am also a big fan and have been coming here for years. I give them 100 stars for there creative flavors and ambiance. The value is so worth the trip. You will love it. Wonderful place👍 😋 will be back.“

“Hi 👋 This is the best Italian Ice you will find anywhere, and the NICEST family owned! XOX“

“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.“

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“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.“

“Malibu with cherry Italian Ice. May I saw the service is above & Beyond. Fast and very respected. Makes the customer feel good and its a guarantee of coming back with the entire family and share with others. Lots of different choices and there are little tables to eat outside the ice cream shop. I will say a family in front of me: the mama dropped her ice cream by mistake while carrying the others for her children and they literally gave her a brand new one with no charge! Other places they will charge 😆 but not Ralph's so go check them out this summer you wont regret it. 😉“

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

“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!“

“I stopped by the Ice Cream Station today to speak with the owners Greg and Song about their ice cream business. They are both so nice and we spoke to great lengths about the different types of ice cream and quality along with their business in general. They are both so warm and friendly and know the ice cream business well! What a great experience! 😀 Their ice cream tastes great and they have awesome flavors, toppings, and options! Go and see Greg and Song for some fantastic ice cream in a warm and friendly atmosphere! You won't regret it! 🍦🍦🍦HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!🍦🍦🍦“

“The chocolate soft serve ice cream was smooth, rich and creamy. It was very fulfilling, even for a kiddie size. You may have your ice cream in a cup, sugar cone, or wafer cone.

Be sure to have cash on hand because they do not accept credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay or any other electronic form of payment.“

“The owners and the staff at this little joint are truly a delight to be around and their creative (and affordable) menu really worth trying. A truly welcoming place!“

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

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.

If you’re looking for some delicious froyo close to home, this is the spot!! 😊 we will definitely be coming back soon!“
