50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Highland Park

“Nice family owned ice cream parlor. The owners are very nice people, and I am glad to support them.
I usually go for the soft serve, which is quite good. There can be a wait during peak hours, but the line moves fast. Outdoor seating only.
Closed off season“

“Today was our second time getting take out, ordered two different dishes and both were excellent as were the two we got a week ago. They "get it" when it comes to balanced flavor, variety of veggies and even the way they cut them with a special slicer was perfect. Truly Thai is now our go-to Thai food destination. I hope it doesn't change and they keep up this quality.“

“Cones & Crepes is a beautiful dessert spot in East Brunswick. My kids love this place.They can’t get enough of it.
Their crêpes are made fresh to order, with a great selection of toppings and fillings, from classic Nutella and strawberries to more decadent options. The ice cream and milkshakes are also a hit—rich, creamy, and full of flavor.
There are also other shops and restaurants in the campus.Whenever we come in this area to eat this has to be the dessert place.“

“Jason is honestly one of the main reasons going to Rita’s Ice is such a good experience. From the second you walk up, he’s friendly in a way that doesn’t feel forced or fake—he actually seems like he enjoys being there and talking to customers. It makes a big difference, especially compared to places where workers just rush you through the line.

What really stands out is how helpful he is. If you’re not sure what flavor to get, he’ll give suggestions or let you try samples without making you feel like you’re being annoying. He knows the menu really well and can recommend combinations that actually end up being really good. You can tell he cares about people leaving happy with what they ordered.

He’s also super efficient. Even when there’s a long line, he keeps things moving without making anyone feel rushed. He balances speed with good service, which isn’t easy to do. Plus, he pays attention to small details, like getting orders right the first time and making sure everything looks good before handing it over.

Overall, Jason just makes Rita’s a better place to go. It’s not just about getting ice—it’s about the experience, and he definitely improves that. People remember service like that, and it’s the kind of thing that makes you want to come back.“

“I frequent this Cold Stone when we’re on the way home from visiting family. It’s become the kids favorite ice cream stop. The staff is friendly but we always seek out Michael when he is working. Michael is great with the kids and they look forward to seeing him when we stop in. He makes the best milkshake recommendations, too.“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“I had a great experience at Pineberry Juice Bar in Plainfield! The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and full of positive energy from the moment I walked in. The smoothies and juices tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Everything was flavorful, refreshing, and made with care.

The staff was friendly, patient, and helpful when recommending drinks, which made the visit even better. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for healthy options that still taste amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!“

I love you Lilly“

“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.“

“Visited Kwality Ice Cream and had a really great experience! The Badshahi Kulfi Falooda was the standout — rich, creamy, refreshing, and full of authentic flavors. The pani puri was also super tasty with crispy puris and a perfect spicy-tangy pani. The paan was fresh and made for a nice finish.

Special mention to Madhuram, the owner, for the warm hospitality and friendly service that made the visit even better.

Tip: ask them to mix Pudina and Khata Meetha pani with a little black salt — it takes the taste to another level! Also, if you prefer better flavor, request room temperature pani instead of very cold :)

Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic Indian desserts and street food!“

“Went to get my husband's birthday cake last minute, they we're so nice and understanding and didn't complain about the rush. They even put a note on the cake for me and also was able to get a number candle too! The woman on register was really knowledgeable about the selections and exactly where to find what I needed!! Thanks Carvel,!!“
