“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

She also mentioned the loyalty program that no one had previously mentioned so I was able to join! Looking forward to coming back !“

“Best ice cream ever!!!! My family always went to the original one on rt 23. So glad it's in my town!“

“Very good service..fairly priced and good ice cream..worth a 22 minute drive down Rt 80“

“Family Friendly and Delicious!

We were driving through main street during this epic heat wave and spotted Scoops so we swung in for a cool treat! The staff was friendly and welcoming, they had great choices and prices. My 4yo wanted to try lots of flavors and they were super accommodating. The owner Natalie even came out to say hello to my daughter, and my daughter even gave her a hug lol. The soft serve here was exactly how we like, we have stopped at the other place in town and the soft serve was overly creamy. A few places have weird soft serve but this is great. Also our total was much more there than at scoop house!! We have found a new place to stop in when we pass through!

Dietary restrictions: they have gluten free and vegan options!

Kid-friendliness: Our 4yo wanted to try a lot of flavors and they were very helpful and patient.“

“McCool's is my family's go to for a wonderful cold treat and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The flavors are absolutely delicious and consistently exciting, sure to please all taste buds. They are always coming up with innovative and delicious drinks, toppings and flavors! I would like to thank Paul the manager for always going above and beyond for my family. His service and kindness makes all the difference. He truly cares about each customers experience and ensures all leave happy! Thank you McCool's for making us feel like family.“

“He’s a big fan of Rita’s We go every night since it opened ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️“

“Ordered an all vanilla ice cream cake for my sons birthday. It was excellent!!“

“This business is top notch and made my experience ordering a cake for my mom's birthday so easy and pick up was very smooth. Highly recommended, even if you are just stopping through town!“

“I’ve got to say, the best FroYo place around. They have so many flavor options, and so many toppings. Their boba is pretty good. It’s your average boba. I have never tried one of their smoothies, or rolled ice cream. It’s such a popular place with the kids, and it’s also walking distance from the green! I highly recommend.“

“I came here because I love the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream brand that you buy at the store so I decided to come here they have a wide variety of flavors and I got the strawberry since that’s my favorite Haagen Dazs flavor the ice cream tasted good but it was really hard and did not taste as good as the pint it was still really good but it’s expensive so I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here“

“They did amazing for the custom cakes I ordered for my son’s baptism. We did one with a cross and one with his picture. Everyone not only raves about how great they looked be also how great they tasted! Service and the product were beyond 5 stars! I continue to order from there. My favorite is the Coffee Milkshake!“

“Every friday my son, husband and I go for burgers to this location. The staff members are all very friendly and welcoming. Patrick is always asking if he can get us anything else, also cleaning the tables right away, everyone is always smiling. The long beard guy is always making sure everyone is being served. Thank you Shake Shack wayne you guys make our meals more pleasant.

“I have not physically been to their store, but have watched their TikToks and live stream.( J did an absolutely stunning job with the cakes she was making today. She did happy birthday cakes, to streamers, to a gory unicorn cake that represented a Halloween theme. She is very fast handed and very detail oriented when it comes to making those cakes come to life! She also went over how she makes roses on cakes as well which as her least favorite part, was my favorite part. It was pretty fascinating and captivating learning more about the art of cakes! We also were able to see her role from cake making, to her customer service abilities. In my opinion she was pretty kickass! She is very spunky and very funny. Mike has cultivated a very positive workplace where they have fun with the job, which is what it should be about. My strongest advise is don’t knock it till you try it for yourself! Don’t listen to others opinions until you have witnessed them, their cakes, and other goodies for yourself. Not everything online is what is seems! Go check them out!(:“

“This is not a luxury store, but it has top customer service quality and reasonable prices. We felt very welcomed when first step in the store, staffs patiently awaiting for us to settle down and get familiar with menu, answer questions with smile. It has a lot of options to choose from, flavors, sizes, standardized or bespoke etc.“

“I really like the ice cream here and the new orange flavor gelato is fantastic! The service is great and I was able to try several different flavors before making my final choice. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Wanted to the Scoop Station owner, Jen, for helping us out with discounted gift cards as part of the giveaway for the Morris Plains 8th graders at the end of their dance last night!! It was so kind!“

“On behalf of the Mount Pleasant PTA, We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Guerriero Gelato for their incredibly generous contribution to our recent schoolwide event. Your support played a significant role in making the event a resounding success, and we are truly grateful for your contribution to our school community. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity, and we hope to continue working together in the future to support our students and their education.“

Her cakes are unbelievable she is so gifted ?❤️“

“I just had to stop at Curly's Ice Cream and pick up a yummy vanilla frozen yogurt flurry with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Pieces all mixed in. So good! Always a great stop! #icecream #frozenyogurt“

“Very good service..fairly priced and good ice cream..worth a 22 minute drive down Rt 80“

“Such a unique spin on ice cream!! Fun to watch it made with my favorite additions and it’s the BEST!!! I need to order every flavor throughout my visits and I’ll probably find a new favorite.“

“owner is so nice!!! they make their own soy sauce. wasn't salty“

“The ice cream is delicious. You can tell that it's store made, and made fresh. Unlike most ice cream shops today that just buy their ice cream, you can tell the freshness in all of their ingredients.

It's especially a great place to go with the kids. They have a fenced-in area where the kids can play on the giant rocking chair or on the basketball court that they have in the fenced in patio.“

“It's an adorable little spot to get ice cream. Good selection of items and great flavors.Also fun little fact is in the winter, they trun into The Soup Coop.Do note there is no publicly accessible interior. It's only a walk up window.Just a nice spot all around.“

“The frozen yogurt was very good. The toppings were an excellent selection and all was fresh. Some people like the fruit the best. But the atmosphere was lacking and there weren't many people there to service stuff and to keep it clean.“

“Great price, nice size, clean & friendly.“

“Pretty good ! I’ve gone to many dessert places that specialize in mango, but when i ate their mango sago, my experience fell short of my expectations. The sago flavor wasn’t very strong, and the mango pieces didn’t taste to be very fresh. Other than that, service was wonderful and quick, and the drinks are impeccable!“

“Absolutely! They made a wonderful dessert table for my daughters 6th birthday. We had a donut cake, and additional donuts on trays for desserts. All different flavors, and they seperated any containing nuts for my guests. They delivered it locally for us! THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD! THANK YOU!“

“Have had pints before. but the walk up window gave us great options of how to spruce up this incredible ice cream. we will be back.“

“Nice clean shop with a friendly staff. Terrific soft serve and a wide variety of options. Their ice cream cakes are fresh and delicious, and are offered in a good selection of sizes and styles. You can buy cups of extra crunchies, and as any crunchies aficionado knows, Carvel has the best. Speaking of which, Carvel offers a Crazy for Crunchies Cake that is fantastic. Just be sure to order that (and any custom cakes) at least two days in advance. Buy One - Get One Free Sundays on Wednesdays.“

“This place have some Amazing verity of flavors . They have so many verity of toppings also. Service is good . Price is average . They have some seating inside and outside of the store too. They also have a handful number of frozen yogurt too.“

“I decided to come to today to try the fall flavors, I had the sea salted caramel apple spoon shake and I would definitely recommend it! Definitely a good fall shake! Gaby was who helped me out tonight and she was great! I would for sure rush to Shakeman to try these new flavors!“

“This was the best blizzard I've ever had. All other dairy queens I've been to have made me either wrong blizzards or liquidy blizzards and God forbid they ever flip it as the dairy queen motto says. They brought us the blizzards, flipped it in front of us and they were better tasting than any blizzards I've ever had. The food was fantastic, better than any fast food place I've ever been to. I am astonished by the quality of this place. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that it isn't closer to my house.“
