21 Best Ice Cream Shops near Jefferson

“Great ice cream shop. Homemade ice cream with nice variety of flavors. Staff was incredibly friendly. They were very helpful and knowledgeable in serving my son who has a nut allergy. Establishment was very clean and appealing. Portions generous. I would definitely bring the family back for more.“

“This place is adorable inside and the ice cream rolls are one of a kind! It's fun to watch the staff create these works of art. They really put in a lot of effort and it's appreciated. My kids were beside themselves. Can't wait to go again! ?“

“Saw an advertisement on Facebook today showing the S’mores shake and couldn’t stop thinking about it. So off we went and to say we were pleasantly pleased is an understatement!!!Received awesome service from Bode who was very kind and made our dream dinner come to life!!! The shake was a picture of excellence and delicious as well as the waffle sundae-with the waffle being made fresh. We just found ourselves a new ice cream place!!!Keep up the good work Bode-you’re going places!!!“

“It's cool that DD (no, not the donut place, this place) has been around for many years and remains independent and hires local kids. All of these facts are worthy of praise. However, the ice cream is just average. I mean, if you are comparing it the grocery store weekly sale ice cream, sure, it's amazing. But for local ice cream parlor, real-deal ice cream, I think Scoops in Boonton is much better.“

“Had a craving for ice cream/gelato, which for me is rare because I don't have a sweet tooth and had been here once before and really enjoyed it. Went back last night and ordered the Ferrero Rocher flavor gelato and oh my gosh it was delicious. The quality is amazing and I will be back this week for more. I also wanted to mention that I don't review places very often so when I do, it is because it really stood out to me. The store is very clean and I highly recommend to everyone, no matter where you are coming from to get it.“

“Saw this when driving down 15 the other day I knew I had to stop by. Food: the police has an amazing assortment of cakes, churros, and unique flavors of seasonal ice cream and seasonal lattes. I am not a coffee drinker, however, some of the flavors did sound very good. I ended up getting a caramel apple pie ice cream, which had small apple pieces in it, and my wife got Cookie Monster ice cream, which tasted just like you were biting into a cookie. Aesthetic: very cute, small shop with a bakery-esque feel. A lot of self-serve fridges which were stocked. Definitely a cute spot to go in the summer! Service: very polite and nice haha“

“I stopped in here for coffee and just had to try a beignet. They smelled amazing, and the one I got was hot, soft, and not overly sweet, despite the glaze. Good stuff! The shop itself has a good amount of seating, and the employee was nice. I'd try more beignets if I wasn't trying to lose weight, LOL.“

“My sister ordered a birthday cake. She would do it again. Friendly staff. The cake was made as requested. My niece loved it. It was a layer of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate crunchies, topped with a yummy chocolate syrup or hot fudge, topped with chocolate ice cream and a delicious frosting. It was sooo good. Thank you!“

“I went there recently and I got the Hot Fudge sundae, OMG, it was really delicious. It actually tasted like homemade soft serve ice cream that had a lot of chocolate flavoring to it. It’s definitely one of the best ice cream places I’ve ever been to in my life. I’ll definitely be going back there in the future. They even have different flavors of soft serve ice cream tree am, most places only have chocolate, twist and vanilla, but this place doesn’t just have that. I rated my sundae a 10/10“

“Absolutely worth the price! I am OBSESSED with their hard chocolate ice cream and regularly spend $30-$50 every time I come here. The employees are very friendly and any requests you have they make it happen! Cliffs in the BEST HOMEMADE ICE CREAM IN NEW JERSEY!!“

“I had a green tea with boba and it was tasty! I'm not sure if it's standard practice with boba tea shops to select the amount of sugar based on a percentage, but that seemed like a great and consistent way to do it. It would be great for this space to include tables and chairs and be more of a cafe setting. The only other suggestion would be a better gift card/certificate system. I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for a friend and I had to pick a drink off the menu for the drink price (instead of buying a cert. for $10 or $20), and it printed a receipt that said "GIFT RECEIPT" on the bottom and it expires in one month! Not a problem for her, but could be for others if your gift expires in one month. Anyway, overall, I like this spot and I'll be back!“

“Love the Lucuma and Passion Fruit flavors, they are my go to from Llama Ice Cream. The server Gaby was friendly and helpful and pretty quick in taking my order.I do think there should be more than one person working in the early afternoon on a Saturday because there was a line which made me order less so that other people could order in a timely fashion.“

“Such a cute and nostalgic shoppe. I got the fancy truffles in the display in front of the door and they were magnificent. Totally worth the price, they were BIG, decadent and very beautiful. Will definitely be back when I get another craving.“

“They make all their ice cream on-site, what's not to love? Went there yesterday with my son, we each got a two-scoop. Prices are decent, if a bit higher than Stewart's ($4 for a single, $5 for a double, $6 for a triple), but you're getting boutique-batch stuff, not factory/mass-made stuff, so that seems reasonable. My son and I both got the Cake Batter (pretty excellent, though I would have left out the sprinkles they mix in); his second scoop was something called Milk N' Cookies (a kinda take on Cookies and Cream - it wasn't bad, but I personally prefer my CaC to have a very rich vanilla substrate, and this vanilla was very light, almost milk-flavored, which actually, I suppose, might have been the point, but my kid liked it fine). My second scoop was their Cheesecake & Graham Cracker which was MAGNIFICENT - decadent, rich, luscious, and very cheesecake-y. That all gets them 4* out of 5.Bonus 5th star to Alpine for good allergen control procedures, rare in a small ice-cream shop where nuts are commonplace (my son has severe nut allergies) and for the proprietor/ice-cream chef being a pretty laid back and down to earth dude and coming out and talking to us about their process before we ordered so we could be secure with the allergy issues.WATCH OUT - they are cash only, and the quaint little hamlet of Sparta has a dearth of nearby ATM machines - a couple of nearby cafes have machines in their lobby, with fees of course.“

“I ordered an ice cream cake on Sunday for Tuesday. Anya was very helpful. She came up with an idea that she needed to run by her boss. She called me back within 15 minutes and was able to implement her plan. The cake was fabulous delicious!“

“Very cute and adorable setup at Cafe e Dolci in Franklin, NJ. Love the ambience and attention to detail in the decor. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. No other coffee shop in Sussex County could hold a candle next to them, as they have the broadest variety of beverages, food, pastries, and desserts. It’s not just coffee and breakfast sandwiches, it’s Cafe e Dolci.“

“Who doesn't love a good hot dog? This former Stewart's location in Denville, now known as Denville Dog & Grill, brings back some welcome nostalgia with its outside ordering, outside tables, and delicious hot dogs! I ordered one dog with onions and sauerkraut, and the other a chill cheese dog. The chili cheese dog was the better choice...delicious and the chili had a real kick to it. To top it off, they still serve Stewart's root beer! It was a beautiful day so it was fun sitting outside. Service was very friendly. Big parking lot. Fun choice!“

“I LOVE dairy queen! I remember the day when I finished a whole large cookie dough blizzard in one sitting.. now they have extra large and eating that thing is on my bucket list for sure!This Dairy Queen makes great ice cream, but sitting inside kind of makes me feel yucky, in some sense. It's not dirty or anything, it just kind of gives grimy family restaurant vibes, but I'm probably just imagining that.The actual food itself it's alright, it's what you would expect from a primarily ice cream place. But the main focus, being the actual ice cream is obviously great. So many different options, from blizzard to sundae, to hard ice cream in a cone. Always amazing!“

“My sister and I went to this location for lunch and while the food is good, the chairs are absolutely HORRIBLE if you’re dining in.We had ordered our food on an iPad, took a number and sat at a table. The food took about 10 minutes and a “server” took it to our table. About 15 minutes later she actually came back to check in and ask how everything was which was surprising but really a nice touch.The cheese fries are so good and were crispy. The single burger was a bit salty but honestly very flavorful and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. My sister said her cookies and cream shake was really good too - overall our meal was good but expensive, $40 for 2 cheese fries, 2 single burgers, a coke, and a milkshake.My only complaint was the chairs - absolutely horrendous. Prepare for your back to hurt (just look at the angle of the seat, who designed those?) it’s almost like they were designed so you eat quick and get out.Parking: Plenty of parking around the building and handicap parking off to the side“

“Cute place, cute name, yummy noodles. On this trip tried the beef ramen and daily special which was chicken with coconut curry broth. Soup has the right mix of salty and brightness. Decent portions of meat and noodles for a satisfying experience. Both ramen and lo mein noodles have a great balance of softness and chew, perfect texture. need to come back and check out some of the other items.“
