Ice Cream Shops near Kinnelon

“Staff have always been friendly, helpful, and polite. I've always been helped in a timely manner here. The assortment of ice cream flavors are awesome and they are very fairly priced. They do have busy times that there can be a longer than usual wait. But the wait is worth it.“

“Absolutely a gem of a place! My daughter got a Cookie Monster milkshake and I got the most delicious mousse cake. Honestly there were so many choices we had to play Ennie Meenie Miney Mo to choose which one to get. Not pictured: the chocolate cupcake she devoured in 2 seconds. Run, don't walk, to Soulmate Cafe.“

“I love ice cream and believe me have gone to many places but Curly’s is one of the best. They have cannoli which is one of my favorites, and even use chocolate dip on part of my cone which makes for a blissful sloppy mess. lol They are really generous which is rare these days.“

“One of the best cookies n cream scoops I've ever had. I knew from the get-go that it was going to be great when I saw the super-gray appearance. Always a good sign. It had the perfect texture and the right amount of Oreo. Don't be fooled by the remote location and the signpost. This is top-notch ice cream.“

“My daughter randomly wanted ice cream after gymnastics today so I searched for the nearest spot and Diane’s came up. WOW. The ice cream itself was SO well done. I give the cold brew coffee chip an A+.We’ll definitely put this place on our list of ice cream spots.“

“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.“

“I feel compelled to comment on the one-star reviews regarding the accusations of racism, as I find it deeply unsettling. The criticism leveled against the staff, suggesting a lack of attention, strikes me as a misunderstanding, particularly in light of my personal experiences. My autistic son, who is an employee of Seven Scoops, often struggles with eye contact and can unintentionally say things that might be misinterpreted.The staff at Seven Scoops has been nothing short of remarkable in their interactions with my son. They have significantly boosted his self-esteem, patiently engaged with his frequent text messages, and consistently welcomed his presence and contributions. This level of support and acceptance is a testament to their character and dedication.I urge the authors of the negative reviews to reconsider their words and instead become aware of your surroundings before placing judgement on our children with special needs.“

“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.“

“Thank you to Sammy who handled customers with grace this evening (a Saturday evening in early April) where customers were lined up out the door! She was working alone and yet never stressed, lost her cool and worked tirelessly until everyone had their ice cream in hand. At a day and age where I wouldn't want my own daughter working alone, she was working tirelessly to ensure her customers were happy and didn't rush through despite the line behind her and anxiously awaiting customers. I was very impressed with her!!!“

“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 recently went to Lake Hiawatha Dairy and had the most AMAZING experience!!! They have so many great tasting, homemade, fresh ice cream flavors to pick from with some being very unique! Blueberry Pie For The Win! They also have plenty of to-go cup sizes to pick from! The toppings selection is plentiful and delicious! The owner, Karen, and staff, Amy and Bianca, are so nice, helpful, and wonderful to talk to. Make sure to visit ASAP!!! You won't be disappointed!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“

“After attending a performance by my spiritual daughter, we decided to go for ice cream to celebrate. First, kudos for opening until 11pm. Just enough time for some social time and good ice cream. Upon arrival, we were wowed by the number of cool ice cream flavors available to choose from. It's a small place with a counter top space and few bar stools. Clean and at 10pm if was fairly quiet. The staff greeted us and welcomed us to try flavors. After sampling, they quickly took our orders. There was a variety for everyone's taste. I end up getting vanilla peanut butter and chocolate covered strawberry ice cream on a cone. It totally got the spot!!! I highly recommend this place!“

“Toasted coconut was delicious, and the serving size was plenty for one scoop. The shop is cute, didn't realize there were vegan options, that's cool. Definitely stuffed my face and tried to eat the ice cream before it melted. Pup got a small vanilla cup and a photo shoot.“

“Same great ice cream as Boonton, same owners, pricing, everything. This one is open later into the year (December vs November). So why does Boonton get the extra star? Most of all: indoors. Shorter wait, faster service, and you wait in a conditioned space to avoid summer heat and winter cold. Also, you get to see each of the flavors before you order. Here, you just go by the list and hope you picked right. So call me spoiled, because I live next to the best ice cream in North Jersey and here is only second best. But the noise of Route 23 and nowhere to really sit and enjoy yourself - it gets to me. 5 star ice cream if you're taking out, but don't even think about eating in. Oh, and don't order Italian ice. My friend got lemon and it had a bunch of red bits in it and didn't taste like lemon. I'm biased on ice thanks to a certain lady in Elizabeth but thought I would pass on his words to you.“

“Amazing guest service. Delicious, hot food cooked to order. Clean store. Great experience overall. Jeffrey runs the store very well. Would definitely be back if ever in the area again. We had the chicken fingers, fries, backyard bacon ranch burger and of course a blizzard! “

“Randy’s Homemade Ice Cream is an amazing experience! Carefully crafted and unique flavors that are out of this world! You can’t leave with just one! So good! His Cookie Monster, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Cannoli flavors are just some of my favorites. A must visit! ??“

“This ice cream shop is a GEM! The variety of flavors is so impressive and each is delicious. We have LOVED Lavender Sky, Pistachio Rose, dairy free Pistachio, Rainbow Cookie, Cheesecake and a Rocky Road. Yummie :)Such a cute little spot for a quick drop in. I don’t see myself returning to a big chain ice cream shop again, this little spot tops them all by far. Enjoy!!“

“Great place to come eat with your family! The atmosphere is awesome and kind of gives you that boardwalk feel. I love getting ice cream and then walking across the street to walk along the rockaway river. The cheesesteaks are amazing and there is definitely something for everyone with the menu being so big. I always get a coke float with soft chocolate ice cream…but most go for the Stewart’s rootbeer float and soft vanilla. The ice cream is all welsh farms and they have so many hard flavors to choose from along with soft mint and dole whip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Kid-friendliness: Perfect place to take your kids for a quick lunch or dinner and then ice cream ?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“Where:269 Hamburg Tpk, Riverdale, NJWhat:Skinless Sabrett HotdogsComments:No idea what he does differently, but these are dirty-water-dogs at their best - great fresh toppings, great guy working the kitchen. This is a perfect quick stop in Riverdale, NJ. He's also got a vintage potato carving machine that he uses to made fresh curly fries, a bit pricey at $4.75 for an order but worth it. I stop here every chance I get.“

“Stopped by today my first time and i must say EVERYTHING was amazing the food, ice cream & the service was top notch we had her home made chicken rice soup ,Italian combo and chicken salad sandwich made by Song she took such good care of us through her busy shift and made us feel so welcomed ! Her cakes are unbelievable she is so gifted ?❤️“

“This is one of the best ice cream in the area. I went today though and was a little unhappy for the girl helping me out was a little rude also I asked for cones and she put them in a cup and chucked them really hard into the bag (while the other girl was filling my bag) like veryyy unnecessarily hard.Also I understand why they wear gloves but if they touch money/cards with the gloves they have on then touch your cone that you are going to eat then wearing gloves are kind of pointless.. but once again the ice cream is delicious (especially the caramel pretzel)“

“Rita's fan for many years. Unfortunately the few around us closed down. Glad we found this one which is a few minutes away from our son's school. We almost always get the mango gelati (mango water ice with soft serve custard. They taste the same no matter which one you go to. The custard is very rich and smooth and it may not sound like a good combo but it's great when combined with mango ice. It also became our 4 year old's favorite dessert. He actually doesn't care much about ice cream but he likes Rita's. Staff is always nice. They have benches in front of the parking spot which is pretty smart.“

“The ice cream is really good, probably the best I have had in the area. I had the vanilla on s sugar cone and my wife had the vanilla/chocolate soft serve swirl. Besides the ice cream being great the staff is really nice. Can't wait for the indoor part to open.“

“Service was quick and friendly, portions were small for about 10 dollars per person. The bathroom was a dirty mess, however staff cleaned it up promptly when notified.Parking: Large free parking lot right in front, connected to the mall plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, good atmosphere and menu options for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible with ramps and a flat sidewalk at the door.“

“Found this Dairy Queen by accident. Friendly service. Not too many customers, considering it feels like a summer day at the end of October! Got a pumpkin Blizzard. Pretty good. I would order it again. I would return and recommend this Dairy Queen.“

“This is one of my favorite DQs in NJ. It has a cool vibe of a local shop where eating out by your car seems natural, even though NO outdoor seating is available.The service by the girls behind the counter is top notch and they check all the boxes with selection of DQ products. There is a bigger DQ on rt 23, but for me this is the best one in the area.“

“Owner was a very interesting person, we talked the whole time, we were the only customers at the time, so it was very calm and relaxing and the conversation made it even better! Food was good too!Parking: Beautiful view of the Ramapo River, right below the back of parking lot too, nice chairs to sit in shade by river, and one can even fish if you wanna throw a line in, very peaceful and calm. Loved it!“

“Sip 'N Swirl makes the most delicious and fresh ice creams. I love their mini cones with vanilla ice cream and multi-colored sprinkles in a delicious mini cookie wafer cone. One of those is a perfect dessert after dinner. They have so many homemade delicious flavors; they are all amazing!! They do not use any artificial ingredients either. I especially love their lemon ice. I find little bits of lemon rind in it so you know the flavor is real. The lemon ice quenches my thirst, especially on a hot summer day. The staff is very warm and accommodating. They are happy to answer questions.“

“Top quality ice cream ... This was my first visit but we will for sure be back often and be a regular customerThe ice cream is very niceThey have also dairy free several which the family likedTheir milk shake is nice tooI had a junior soft ? which was also awesomeStaff is fast in serving and good in taking care of the customersPricing very fairLots of free parkingEnjoy“

“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!“

“I recently treated myself to a scoop of Brownie and Oreo ice cream, and it was nothing short of a heavenly experience for my taste buds. This delectable creation, which I sampled at a local ice cream parlor, perfectly blended the rich, chocolatey goodness of brownies with the delightful crunch of Oreo cookies.“

“Willowbrook Mall is usually a little bit out of my way when traveling in New Jersey, so I had never stopped here before. I should have not waited this long to visit, as this was an unexpectedly nice mall. Yes, it has some vacancy's and clearly work was being done during my visit externally, but that didn't affect my experience. Plenty of parking and multiple entrances are available. Interior of the mall is very nice and clean with the mall having two floors throughout a large portion. Store selection is also nice, with many mid-market options, and it doesn't feel stuffy or too high end. Other features that stood out was the large food court with many options. The Macy's is also one of the nicest I've seen. If you can't find what you are looking for at the mall, the area around it is heavily built up and offers options like an AMC Theater, Costco, Dick's, and JCPenney. Overall, Willowbrook fills a nice place among the New Jersey malls, as it's not too large like American Dream, not overly high end like Short Hills, and not in trouble/challenged like Livingston or Rockaway. Willowbrook Mall is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Clean and provides you with a disposable glove to handle the machines. Nice selection of fresh and candy toppings for the frozen yogurt. Small selection of flavors but they were very tasty. I like that they note the allergens in the flavors as I was picking some up for someone with a gluten allergy. I would definitely go back.“
