22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Jackson

“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. 😉“

“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.“

“My kids & I luv the variety of tea drinks, shakes & wraps. We go there all the time since they’ve opened & never a complaint. The staff is awesome! Gina, Bella, Aggie & all of them are just great �“

“We love to go there.their service is super good and yummy Icecream 🍦“

“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.“

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

“I had a bad time today with one employee she was really rude i paid almost 2 box for more custard , and she gave me nothing, when I asked for more she said she needed charge me more, the other girl told her to give me more custard , but she spilled all over my cup, the girl with glasses fixed and said sorry, is not correct, Rita’s need more good employees like the girl with glasses“

“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 :) :) :) :) :)“
