15 Best Ice Cream Shops in Hoboken

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!“

“I’m not trying to be dramatic but I have had gelato and ice cream across the world (all across italy, turkey, France, Japan) and the pistachio, coconut, and strawberry gelato at KikiLu is still unmatched. I know…dramatic. But truly 10/10 for me.“

“Just ordered delivery from here and the gelato is delicious. Recommend the Pistachio, Mexican Cinnamon, and Dark Chocolate. Thank you. Best of luck.“

“Absolutely amazing! Thomas Ice Cream Cafe is hands down the best ice cream spot in Hoboken. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely top-notch. The staff clearly care about the customer experience and take pride in what they do.

Now, the ice cream—wow. You can really taste the quality in every scoop. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, it’s clear they use premium ingredients. I tried a couple of unique flavors I haven’t seen anywhere else, and each one was better than the last.

Whether you're a local or just passing through, Thomas Ice Cream Cafe is a must-visit. Incredible service, outstanding ice cream, and a cozy vibe that makes you want to come back again and again.

Highly recommend! 🍦👏“

“Amazing options for Italian ice and frozen custard. We have eaten here several times and brought many friends and family over too. Everyone was very impressed with the ice and custard combination. My favorite flavors are bubblegum, mango and coconut for the ice and the chocolate vanilla combination for the custard.“

“They served us free ice cream to all the staff at montamy golf club the staff member working the food truck was extremely nice the regular flavored banana flavored ice cream was the best and delicious and amazing and incredible ice cream you ever had you can really taste the banna I definitely recommend it and I definitely recommend using them for your event the food is gluten-free and celiac safe they serve a lot of costumers with celiac and there is no cross coonnamunation with the juicer and they use a brand new spoon for safety upon request but some of the options are not gluten free and celiac safe since they manually add gluten after the juicer but not closer to juicer to not have any cross contamination“

“Delicious donuts and love the crepes ice cream and the variety of flavors 😋“

“So glad that what was formerly It’s Pinsa did not close and instead exists here in Hoboken as Ovale! It was so depressing to see my favorite spots disappear since the pandemic. My favorite pizza! Definitely artisanal and well-crafted. The unique dough blend and lengthy time for fermentation makes the mouth feel and experience a stand-out and crave-worthy! So light and tasty with just the right amounts of each ingredient for a satisfying, balanced and crusty bite. I always get the red funghi pie as I don’t eat mammals. Everyone I’ve brought loves it too and selects different options. It never disappoints! I’m a big eater and I often take home a slice or two. It’s a smaller joint than the earlier location with just a few indoor seats and some outdoor seating depending on the season. I love to bring my dog here after we play in the big dog park a few blocks away. Highly recommended!“

“5 Stars – Mango Mayhem, But Worth Every Drop!
Icy Mellon - Hoboken

If you’re in Hoboken and even thinking about a mango drink, just stop what you’re doing and go to Icy Mellon. These folks don’t just make smoothies—they craft frozen perfection. I got the mango, and I swear it was so rich, fresh, and vibrant it deserved a seatbelt of its own.

Unfortunately, I had to stop short while driving and—well—mango mayhem ensued. All over me. All over the console. But you know what? I couldn’t even be mad. It’s that good. If anything, it was a reminder I should’ve finished the cup before pulling out.

Super flavorful, super refreshing, and absolutely worth the mess. Pro tip: maybe sip this one while parked. You won’t want to waste a single drop.“

“Definitely a fan of Ben & Jerry’s ;) Cherry Garcia Strawberry Cheesecake“

“Best cookies in nj hands down!“

“We went on a Sunday morning so it was astronomically busy, but the food was worth it. We waited 30 minutes for our to-go order, but it was expected when we saw how many people were inside. We also assumed if all those people were willing to wait then the food would speak for itself. It definitely did. I ordered a gluten free breakfast wrap and it was easily the best gluten free wrap I’ve ever had out. My husband had the Hoboken girl sandwich on sourdough. His smelled impeccable. If we were Hoboken natives we’d eat here far too often lol. I think we’ll be making the trip back for sure though. We might just order ahead.“

“We had two Black Truffle 'Shroom Burgers, French Fries and a Coke. The burgers were delicious. Well presented too. Average pricing. Nice ambiance for a fast food joint. Good service. Friendly staff.

Vegetarian options: Black Truffle 'Shroom Burger“

“Really liked the yogurt flavor selection and loved my creation. I got tahini vanilla and salted carmel with cheesecake pieces and strawberries and it was SOOO GOOD.
Our price was $15 for 2 people which is competitive for the area.
The topping options could’ve been better.
As someone with a peanut allergy I would’ve appreciated some separation of allergenic ingredients with the rest. Maybe this is why I didn’t like the topping options- because I wont select anything near a peanut.

Responding to some other negative reviews I saw: They also gave us a spoon and let us sample as many as we wanted; I didn’t notice the place being messy, I was there on a Saturday afternoon; The yogurt was a little watery but I didn’t mind; The workers were helpful and even gave us a free bottled water from the back when we asked if they had tap water. ; all of the yogurt machines were open and functional“
