25 Best Ice Cream Shops near Howell

“my four year old says " This has the best ice cream EVER" ALWAYS clean and greeted.“

“Thank you so much Kelly and Chrissy for a delicious cake! Not one piece is left! Creamy ice cream and awesome crunchies!!!“

“Just visited this ice cream shop and I’m obsessed. The service was friendly and fast, the shop was spotless, and the vibe was super welcoming. I got the cotton candy flavor and it was incredible—ultra-creamy, not overly sweet, and packed with nostalgic cotton candy goodness. Generous portions, and plenty of fun toppings, too. From the staff to the scoop, everything was perfect. Can’t wait to come back! 🍦💙

Would add a photo but it’s long gone :) :) :) :) :)“

“I have always gone to Rita's in Howell. I stopped by today and had to return the custard. It taste terrible. I was told the owner changed to a different product. The owner needs to to stop wanting to save money on a different product. Bring back the correct Rita's custard recipe. you are going to lose business.“

“Last night my friends and I stopped by really late night going back home from an event and there was only 2 gentlemen working. We had to make multiple separate orders at once and the man working the register was being very nice to us despite the fact that it was busy. The food was also correct and good. Thank you.“

“best ice cream in Freehold. Been coming here for 60 years“

“Amazing ice cream and employees are extremely helpful and friendly. I enjoy the inside designs of the place. Reminds me of old times and well decorated. The ice cream is excellent. Fresh and smooth. Nothing artificial about any of their flavors. Love it“

“Now this is a way better and more AWESOME!!! ice cream truck service, safety updated with an electric swing arm stop sign like on school buses which is extremely AWESOME , safe, clear, and recognizable because octagon means STOP whereas sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end means SLOW unlike some other ice cream truck services that still have the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is confusing.“

“Love stopping by this Haagen-Dazs. Their selections of flavors are delicious! My husband likes getting the affogato and I recommend the midnight cookies and cream for chocolate lovers!
Rigo attended my husband and I so nicely. Super attentive and does an amazing job every time.“

“Avery & Jay’s Handcrafted Ice Cream in Liberty Commons is basically a mitzvah and a nisayon in one place. You walk in “just to look,” and two minutes later you’re holding a towering sundae like you just got a shtikel nachas from Shamayim.
First of all, the place is mamash classy—clean, bright, and everything looks fresh and made b’kavod. You can tell they take the “handcrafted” part seriously, not just a nice word they put on the sign. The ice cream is smooth, rich, and legit “wow” from the first bite. And if you’re into Italian ice / soft serve / sundaes / waffles—they’ve got the whole sugya, with plenty of options to make you rethink your entire diet plan.
Now here’s the best part: you start simple—“one scoop, a regular cup.” Then you see toppings. Then you see the sundaes. Then your yetzer hara puts on a bekishe and starts giving you svaros:
“Take whipped cream—It’s basically air.”
“Sprinkles? That’s just simcha.”
“Waffle cone? That’s a kli, not a ta’ava.” 😄
And the staff? Sweet, patient, and helpful, even when you’re standing there like you’re choosing a shidduch: “Is this one more creamy? How’s this one? What’s the difference between these two?” They don’t rush you—very menschlich.
Perfect stop after errands in Liberty Commons, a family outing, or when you just need a quick pick-me-up that turns into a full-on “okay, we’re celebrating something now” moment.
Bottom line: If you’re anywhere near Jackson, do yourself a favor and go. Just don’t tell yourself “I’m only getting a small.” That’s not how this place works. 😉“

“Best ice cream flavors and assortment of items!“

“Took a trip today! The Mexican corn in a cup was amazing! My kids enjoyed the ice cream!!! Will definitely come back!“

“Absolutely love Mrs. Walker’s Ice Cream Parlor in the Lakehurst area of New Jersey. The ice cream is incredibly delicious and surprisingly filling, with rich flavors that hit the spot every time. We’ve actually gone two days in a row because it’s just that good. The staff is friendly and the seating is very accommodating both inside and outside. Whether you’re looking to cool off or just treat yourself, this place is a must-visit. It’s got a great local vibe and you can tell they care about making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Can’t wait to go back again.“

“Great place, I especially like the coffee coladas, but everything there is good best ice cream in lakewood for cheap. Shout out to hermenez“

“Used to drive one of the trucks. Still love and miss this place. Always on the lookout for Weasers in the summer! ��“

“We came to the Englishtown location. So glad we did, my friend got a small banana ice cream in a cup she loved it!! I had a regular size Hot Fudge Sundae. It was perfection!! Wonderful server too. Fast friendly service and prices were very fair. We'll be back!!“

“Great place, Amazing Ice Cream, Staff is super friendly! You can tell they know what they are doing!!! Can’t wait to go back again!!!“

“Sprinkles – Lakewood North: The Only Place Where You Come for Ice Cream and Leave Questioning Every Middah You Ever Thought You Had

Let me tell you, walking into Sprinkles after a long day is mamash like entering Gan Eden — if Gan Eden had neon signs, kids running around with sprinkle-covered faces, and bochurim debating which flavor is “yeshivish enough.”

I came in thinking I’d be normal and get a small cone. Cute idea. Adorable.
Two minutes in, I’m standing there like a lost sheep while the guy behind the counter goes, “Nu, so what are you getting?”
And suddenly I’m ordering a double scoop, extra toppings, full send, like I didn’t promise myself last Chol Hamoed I’d “cut down.”

THE ICE CREAM:
Next level.
Creamy, smooth, geshmak — the kind of ice cream where after the first bite you’re like, “Okay, maybe the world is a good place.”
The flavors slap. The toppings are fresh. The presentation is so nice it almost makes you feel guilty eating it. Almost.

THE VIBE:
Peak Lakewood energy.
Mothers with strollers, bochurim pretending they’re only here because “the chevra wanted,” and that one guy who definitely came for a shake but is pretending to browse like he’s making life decisions.

It’s loud, it’s lively, it’s lebedig — mamash a taste of Klal Yisroel coming together for one purpose: frozen sugar and happiness.

THE SERVICE:
Quick, friendly, and zero judgment when I changed my order three times.
“Can I get a chocolate shake? No wait, vanilla. Actually, do you have mocha? No? Okay fine, chocolate again.”
They handled it like pros.
Not once did they give me the classic “bochur please” look. Respect.

PERSONAL MOMENT:
I took my first sip of the shake and immediately understood why people come here even in the middle of winter wrapped in a coat like it’s Antarctica.
It hits the spot, fills the neshamah, and for a solid 6 minutes you forget about life responsibilities like laundry, rent, or that you still haven’t called your mother back.

OVERALL:
If you’re in Lakewood and in the mood for something cold, sweet, and spiritually uplifting, Sprinkles North is a MUST.
It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s fresh, and it’s the perfect place to reward yourself for absolutely anything — finishing a seder, surviving a siyum, or just because “why not?”

Highly recommend.
Just don’t meditate on how many calories are in that shake. That’s bittul simcha.“

“They only had one guy behind the counter, but he was flying, as fast as 3 workers. Was pretty amazing to see. Could have been in a video of fastest workers on YouTube. This guy wasn't just fast.... HE WAS FAST! Oh. And they had a lady doing checkout.Don't know his name, but as long as this dude is there, you never really have to worry how long the line is as it'll only be a few minutes either way.“
