38 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lawrenceville

“A great stop for a perfectly refreshing summer treat! The service is quick, even when in the presence of a crowd. They have a pretty small selection of the classic Rita’s Ice flavors. There is not much seating available, so I’d recommend taking it to go.“

“This tiny little shop can always be seen with a massive line. In an area that has no shortage of eateries and ice cream offerings I always wondered why their line was always down the street no matter the weather. Today I passed by and there was not a line out the door for the first time this summer and I knew I had to pop in. The menu is diverse in its simplicity. Simple ingredients, simple ordering configurations( all cups are the same size with the same price). I sampled the Creme fresh and blueberry marscarpone and they were both superb. The store also utilizes reusable tasting spoons and appears super environmentally conscious in their offerings. I probably won’t stand over an hour in line In the heat and rain for it but I get why people would. They even had allergy friendly and vegan options.“

“What an awesome place with the most awesome employee (possibly owner?) Such an upbeat, welcoming, kind guy. Soooo many options to choose from, and so delicious!“

“My family and I stopped here when we were looking for a bakery in the area. The food is delicious! I highly recommend Panna Gelateria and I would definitely come back.“

“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

“I’ve never been much of a sweets person at all, but I’ve been hearing so many good things about this place, the whole town has been raving about it. Today I decided to stop in and I couldn’t control myself everything looked so delicious, the Cinnabons, cookies, and cupcakes are so fresh and tasty. Pretty busy business, which is a good sign, the staff was so friendly, Lilly helped me out & the owner Joanne is amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back & try more delicious baked goods :)“

“Always fresh & delicious! Check them out!“

“Jojos is always the spot for my family and I. They have the best water ice flavor and texture, not to mention the dole whip is to die for and the hard ice cream is amazing as well. We just got a soft serve ice cream cake for the first time the 9” to be exact. It fed over 12 people and we still had some left absolutely delicious with the hot fudge center as well. Jojos is always a 10/10 and I would highly recommend to those who haven’t been before.“

“Stopped here randomly and so glad we did. Guy could see we were struggling making a decision and offered some guidance. He gave really great advice on what to try. The seasonal pumpkin pie was definitely delicious and such a good recommendation. The Royal Blizzard was also an awesome choice. He put so much topping in. I was so happy. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious ice cream (fresh milk makes the difference!) and Jammies cookies (I got the apricot). Fun relaxed atmosphere and friendly locals. What a gem.

Wish I'd bought more cookies after my short visit to the area, it's hard to find this homemade quality texture and flavor!

Parking: Can be tricky getting out on a busy weekend night, the lot is sort of small and old style with tight slots. People are understanding and patient though, don't stress or avoid going.“

“Ice cream fresh, delicious place is super clean and staff is friendly and helpful ❤️“

“Honestly one of yummiest ice creams I have had in a long time ! I had the Belgian chocolate and being a discerning choc lover I was surprised at how much this exceeded my expectations. I liked the texture of the ice cream and it was just enough chocolate for my sweet tooth . Best part was the very friendly service . Sachin was very kind and warm. Always nice to get service with a warm smile . Keep it up ! I will definitely be back on my next visit to New Jersey“

“one of the greatest ice creams I tasted in a long time and the environment never seen something so clean thought I was walking into a chapel the owner Dave on the best guys you ever want to meet his employees top shelf look forward to it opening again be there soon“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“Ice cream is delicious and portioned well at the price point but something about being asked if I “would like to leave a tip on the card” has left a bad taste in my mouth the past three times I’ve gone. I get that the servers are teenagers trying to make some summer money but a tip is for incredible service or doing something above and beyond to make my experience exceptional, not just for taking my order and asking “anything else?”“

“Went here for the first time today and they were locking the door but we're kind enough to let us in. We tried jersey shore flavor and it tasted homemade. The ice cream was soft and creamy, not at all icy. The Carmel tasted home made and not out of a jar. They are open even though it looks closed when you drive buy. Clean and neat. Much better Ice cream than the one by Trenton market“

“Laila was so sweet and stellar! Service was quick, she wished me a happy bday because she noticed I used my free small Italian ice deal, abd she was simply adorable! I appreciate when people greet me with a sincere smile and she really seemed happy to be at her job.If there are any kind of bonuses the employees receive for fantastic service, Laila should receive one. ?“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“Best spot on a hot day, quick service friendly staff worth every penny no matter what u buy.

Good location to walk along the river if wanted aswell.

Definitely stop in next time I'm in the area tho !“

“This is a nice ice cream shop, there are seats and tables inside and outside. The shop also has a clean restroom. The parking is not an issue, since the shop is located in the mall. They sell soft ice cream, which is an absolute plus for me ?. Even though I visited the shop around closing time the personnel was very nice.Ever since I visited the store multiple times, and my experience still stands!“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“I got the parent trap it was so good. I love peanut butter and Oreos and couldn’t figure out what ice cream I wanted so the parent trap was the perfect fit for me. There were some cool over sized chairs that people can sit on and take pictures and some beautiful artificial trees I forgot to take a picture of my ice cream but these are some pictures from the big chairs“

“Ok this place has the greatest ice in america! Everything tastes great! The employees I swear to god have some great manners and now how to get the job done. The make the ice cream fast but no mistakes what so ever! So when you come here to visit make sure you enjoy while it lasts cause it sure is a treat!“

“First time going to this location since it just opened up. I went with my family in the afternoon. The lady who worked there/assisted us was extremely helpful and super nice. It was a pleasant experience. We all got vanilla & chocolate custard in a waffle cone. So yummy!! Will definitely be coming back to this location.“

“This place RULES!! Friendly service, no line and delicious ice’s. Met Cayla who made an outstanding choice of Black Cherry Gelato (when I couldn’t make up my mind).Cayla was engaging, fun and def has passion for her job.Free parking and lots of discount shops in the immediate area.Spend your money here… this place ROCKS!!“

“I love Rita's.They have the best assortment of flavored ice. The gelatis are outstanding. And misto's that you can mix diff. ices together with the custard. Please bring back the icecream cakes. We had one & it was the best ever! Thank you very much. Oh yes, when will the be open til 10pm?“

“the cookies are delicious i recommend they are worth the money and the service is so fast and comes almost as soon as you put your order in!! the atmosphere is amazing and as a great layout! the smell of the fresh cookies makes you want so many more in your life, and its worth it!!“

“The best water ice in the area! All of the flavors are homemade and delicious. The custard is also amazing. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Amazing customer service along with delicious froyo! I thought I left my bag at the outdoor benches next to the store and the manager, Lauren, checked the cameras and said I indeed did leave with my bag. It was such a relief that I didn’t lose it and I ended up tracking down my bag after that. Thanks so much for your help!“

“I frequent this Rita’s often. Today 6/15/22 I received my order total and I realized it was much more than usual. I asked was there a price change recently. I was told there was a $1 charge for sprinkles!!! This new pricing is not posted on their current menu. Patrons should not be charged for this until it’s visibly posted on the menu.“

“Great pastry and wonderful black tea. The person behind the counter was very hospitable and friendly. I definitely recommend the cream puffs.“

“Casual dining with a wide selection on their menu, including breakfast all day. Generous portions, in fact too much. I usually bring something home. I had an Open Faced Turkey Sandwich on this particular visit. It had a white gravy and I would have preferred a brown, but it was good. So much food!“

“Their frozen yogurt is delicious and the staff was super nice! I also got a mango strawberry tea with mango popping bubbles, and it was a tad too sweet, but I'm sure you could ask for half the amount of flavoring. Will be back for sure!“

“We just went here to try and the service was excellent as well as the delicious ice cream served! Very creamy, not super sweet, just very balanced. Highly recommend you go try for yourself!“

“I love the brownie chocolate cream ice. The owner is so helpful and kind“

“good stuff and clean store“

“No sugar added yogurts are amazing... Dairy free options also. Usually one of each but once in a while they will have 2 but many regular options to choose from. They are usually cleaning and changing out the toppings pans when the line isn't out the door. Very friendly and always greet you coming in. I highly recommend.
