“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.”

“Yismach Yisroel is the kind of ice cream shop that makes you feel like you’re five years old again — in a good way, not the tantrum kind. If you’ve ever needed a foolproof way to bribe—ahem—encourage your kids to behave in Westgate, this is the place. One mention of “Maybe we’ll stop by Yismach Yisroel…” and suddenly everyone is holding hands and saying Tehillim. The store is bright, cheerful, and stocked like a dream: • Ice creams, toppings, slushies — basically everything your kids will ask for before you even finish reading the menu. • Tons of little toys and prizes on full display, expertly positioned at perfect “Tatty can we pleeeeease? 😇” height. • Clean tables, quick service, and a staff that actually seems happy to help, which already puts them above half the places in town. The portions are generous (Lakewood style — “small” means “don’t let it fall over”), the flavors hit the spot, and the whole vibe is just… geshmak. Great for families, great for bochurim looking to cool down after night seder, and great for parents who need five minutes of quiet while the kids focus on their soft serve like it’s a life mission. Westgate parking can sometimes be a matzav, but once you’re inside, it’s all smooth sailing — just smiles, sprinkles, and a sugar rush waiting to happen. Bottom line: If happiness came in a cup, it would look exactly like the ice cream at Yismach Yisroel. A top-tier Lakewood treat and a solid 5-star stop.”

“The ice cream is very good however the website hours are inaccurate so check before you go a group of us showed up there on a Saturday night at 20th 10:00 cuz the website said they were open until 10:00 p.m. we got there and there was a note on the door that said they closed at 9:30 After posting the review above, someone from the company reached out to me and explained that they had tried to change the times in Google but it has not worked. I just checked it and the hours have been changed so it's nice to have a reply to your complaint. I have since changed my review.”

All I said was that my son loves minions and how many people we have coming… I arrived today and found out that Selina ( possibly spelled wrong) absolutely knocked it out of the park. My son’s favorite ice cream flavor, filling, and character! I will never go anywhere else for a cake.”

“Now this is a way better and more AWESOME!!! ice cream truck service, safety updated with an electric swing arm stop sign like on school buses which is extremely AWESOME , safe, clear, and recognizable because octagon means STOP whereas sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end means SLOW unlike some other ice cream truck services that still have the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is confusing.”

“Best home made ice cream in NJ. Big portion sizes & great price! $5. Scoop of coffee ice cream and pastacio flavor for small size cup whenever i visit. I was hooked the 1st time i visited. Young staff are very pleasant also. So i brought my husband to try it. And he got hooked. Another time, we brought my daughter and she fell in love with the place. I brought 4 of my friends while celebrating, 1 of my friends birthday . They loved it also and they thought it was also fun to carpool and get sweet something for the memory lane. This is a family business owned operation. I love the couple who owns it. Mrs Walker's Ice Cream makes there own home made ice creams in the Toms River shop. Go visit it. It is wroth your time and money well spent and it will be your final ice cream destination.”

“I ordered a custom icecream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, icecream flavors, & toppings. Everyone enjoyed the cake and asked, where is the icecream cake from? If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, I highly recommend this peanut butter themed icecream cake. Aside from this custom order, we are regular customers. The icecream sundaes are our favorite. You always get good portions (scoops) served. The medium is almost too much for me. That's a good thing. Chocolate Chip Mint, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, and topped with M & Ms is my favorite. This review is for the Lanoka Harbor, NJ location.”

“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. 😉”

The portions, quality, cleanliness and most important the staff of kids in there are the friendliest. I’ve never seen a place where the staff at 9:30pm is so friendly, fun and upbeat to my fiancé and I. All of them need more tips and a raise. We’ll be back next time im down the shore and probably order another 4 flavors/cups to go.”

They have their famous giant “Sideshow” milkshakes, various sundaes, ice cream waffle creations, all types of cones from the classic wafer and sugar cones to their chocolate dipped waffle cones and even a RAINBOW waffle cone! They’ve even got Italian ice and they do fun collabs with other local small businesses. Like their “Livonia Pignoli Cannoli” flavor which is outta this world! It’s always clean, bright, and colorful! The tables are so cool with their rainbow drip patterns! Don’t forget to check out their big fridges stocked with ice cream cakes, ice cream slice samplers, classic and giant ice cream sandwiches, even a pull apart cake! The cherry on top of this ice cream heaven? The staff. They’re always cheerful, helpful, generous, and extra kind. We will be back often!

“The customer service in this place is beyond fantastic. They helped me out last week when I needed a print for a cake when the printer and Tom‘s River was down. And now today, I’m memorial day when I needed a cake last minute with no notice, The lady at the front desk,Jane,first hesitated saying they need some notice,and then said “sure I will do it.” They also came through for me last year when I was in a pinch. I would never go to any other ice cream franchise but these guys, Tom River and Manchester.”
Ice cream has always been a beloved treat, offering a wide array of flavors that cater to every taste. Lately, however, the spotlight has shifted to more unconventional flavors, making classic choices like vanilla and chocolate seem ordinary. From ketchup to oysters, here are ten of the most unusual ice cream flavors to try.
Rainbow Cone, a Chicago ice cream shop, is spreading its colorful layers across the country for the first time in its 98-year history. The shop is known for its unique five-flavor ice cream cone, which stacks chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet in colorful "slices." Since announcing franchising two years ago, Rainbow Cone has grown to 21 locations, mostly around Chicago, but they're not stopping there. They've also opened a store in Indiana and recently made a deal to open 10 spots in Texas.
