“The self-serve concept makes it quick and convenient, and the staff is friendly and helpful when needed. It’s a perfect spot for a quick dessert, especially with family or kids. If you’re looking for something lighter, this yogurt is a great option—honestly, better than traditional ice cream in terms of taste and how it feels after.“

“This isn't the first time I went to Ralph's. It was in the summer right after I came from Jimmy Max With a bunch of People. 70 degrees, perfect weather and a good time to have a Frozen treat.??? Last time I had coconut flavored Italian ice, this time I had pina colada cream ice. In this location is like a little plaza and it had a spot which showed a whole menu. They even had ice cream, smoothies, cream iced and many more. I looked in the window where they prep the ice cream and it smelled like fun. ? I think I might want to come back some more flavors to try out.???“

“Went there on New Year's Eve and the three ladies working shoulder be getting paid at least time and a half! They worked very hard and seeing the over 21s weren't there these girls should get more than an extra hour. Do your thing Cold Stone!“

“Loved this place back in the day!!! Brother used to buy WAYY TOO MUCH 🙃 BUT WE LOVED IT!!!!! My Boy would love this town… New jersey… Radbank… Very good place… Lots of music?? Love to hear it!!!

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“great service, always. yum“

“This ice is great! And the family service is amazing! Thanks for your help in getting me started with my cart.“

“Best homemade ice cream ever! I had the coffee flavor and was not disappointed 🤤“

“Been a while since I've seen a Tom Carvel ad (I suspect he's dipping cones in hot fudge in the heaven location now), and maybe 15+ years since I've enjoyed the custard at Carvel. Have done lotsa DQing. It's okay. And I think the dense, dense thick custard at Rita's may be a richer take on the confection. But Tom's custard was great on a hot late summer day.“

“Good ice cream. Friendly service. What’s not to like.“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“Updating my review based on the owner’s response. While our first visit on a Sunday morning was disappointing due to being overlooked while staff focused on prep, the management response was prompt, direct, and genuinely accountable. They acknowledged the mistake, explained the situation, and took full responsibility without making excuses. It’s clear they take hospitality and feedback seriously and want to make things right. We’re willing to give them another try based on how professionally this was handled.“

“Ralph’s Ices is hands-down one of my favorite spots when the weather warms up. Every visit is a hit, and their flavor selection is wild—in the best way possible. My usual order? Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. It’s the perfect combo of rich, chocolatey goodness and sweet, nutty comfort. The texture is always smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Even when there’s a line, the service is fast and friendly. The vibe is chill, nostalgic, and feels like a proper summer tradition. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular like me, Ralph’s never lets you down.

If you’re looking for a frozen treat that actually lives up to the hype, this is it.

Helwa Approved ✅“

“Before walking into carvel, I had hurt my finger and was in need of a bandaid. I ended up asking the worker and he looked very concerned for me. He ended up taking out a first aid kit and put the bandaid on me with a healing jelly thingy. He didn’t have too, but he did. I think that shows how much he cares about his customers. The sundae was 10/10 as well! 🍨😋“

“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“

“We took it to go!! Product is so fresh & 😋“
