Great local ice cream parlor! Lots of original flavors, and the crowd tells you it's worth the trip. Highly recommend!
Exceptional flavors both standard and inventive. As with the Gingered Peach, the customer service was warm and attentive. The peach cobbler flavor was my favorite. I look forward to trying out other selections!
Best ice cream in the Princeton area! So delicious. We tried pistachio, strawberry, lemon and purple cow. Each flavor was fresh with high quality ingredients you can taste. Will definitely be back.

This delightful ice cream shop has been described as unexpectedly good, featuring all homemade, original, and unique flavors. There are typically 16 to 20 flavors available, including options like vegan chocolate ice cream and a delicious 4 scoop sampler with honey lavender, peach cobbler, guava cheesecake, and chocolate chip. The service is friendly and quick, with patient and kind staff that make customers feel welcome. Visitors appreciate the creamy texture and real ingredients used in the ice cream, which does not contain artificial flavorings.
There is ample seating available both indoors, which is beautiful and has good AC, and outdoors, providing a nice space to enjoy ice cream. The atmosphere is relaxing and clean, and the decor is adorable. Water is readily available, and many recommend Melba Ice Creamery as a must-visit treat, particularly for its creative and frequently changing options. While it is only open during the warm seasons of late spring to early fall, customers note that the wait, even if there is a line, is well worth it. Special attention is given to those with allergies, and prices are in line for premium ice cream, reflecting the quality and portion sizes. However, it is important to note that this location is not handicapped accessible and parking may be challenging for those with mobility concerns.
