50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lincoln Park

“Love that this place is in Lincoln Park, the quality is good and they’re aiming for a cool vibe. BUT it’s a little expensive, it’s too cold inside, smells a little funny, and the front door handle gives an icky feeling because it’s covered in sticky peeling paint.“

“I would like to thank Camille for making sure she acknowledged me for Father's Day, I hope the owner sees this review and acknowledges her as well for being such a good employee.

I was there to get my daughter some ice cream and she made sure to ask me if Dad wants ice cream as well.“

“Delicious ice cream! Courteous and helpful staff. Best malted milkshake I've had in a long time. Black raspberry ice cream was also on point! Cute candy counter too. Free street parking and a small parking lot behind the building (a bit dangerous on foot in the parking lot FYI if you have little kids).“

“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!“

“Amazing and delicious - you need to go here as soon as possible!!! Best ice cream!!“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Everything we have had has been an A+ The UBE ice cream is my family’s favorite. My 4 year old has been obsessed with it since she was 2. It’s a great family experience and the owner Chona couldn’t be a nicer person. She goes above and beyond for me every time I go in there. I wish every owner had the same energy, respect, and friendliness that Chona has. All the workers are extremely helpful and friendly as well. I strongly suggest to give Kubo a try you won’t be sorry.“

We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“I stopped by the Ice Cream Station today to speak with the owners Greg and Song about their ice cream business. They are both so nice and we spoke to great lengths about the different types of ice cream and quality along with their business in general. They are both so warm and friendly and know the ice cream business well! What a great experience! 😀 Their ice cream tastes great and they have awesome flavors, toppings, and options! Go and see Greg and Song for some fantastic ice cream in a warm and friendly atmosphere! You won't regret it! 🍦🍦🍦HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!🍦🍦🍦“

“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“

“Delicious ice cream with terrific service. The swirl cone was large and had a perfect mix of vanilla and chocolate taste. I chose rainbow sprinkles as a topping and it was a great choice. I have to bring my husband next time to try his favorite treat of all time chocolate milk shakes.“

“Always delicious. I would highly recommend ordering a freshly made ice cream cake. Totally a different experience than picking up a frozen cake @ supermarket for not that much more. They need minimum 24 hrs notice 4 ice cream to set. Can also customize. I prefer no whip cream & instead get fudge & crunchies. Always fresh & delicious 😋“

“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 Place is awesome. I went and asked if they would make a special blizzard my daughter say on TikTok. They said sure. Do you know what’s in it? We looked it up and they made it. They always go above and beyond Thank you for being awesome people.“

“We love this Carvel! The ice cream is always a hit — perfect treat for both kids and adults. The staff is consistently kind and welcoming, which makes every visit feel special. You can tell they care about their customers.

The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that the shop could really use a little facelift. A refreshed interior would make the experience even better, especially since the service and product are already great. Still, we keep coming back — and will continue to!“

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

“ricos los helados también él trató al cliente“

“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 a really great place to go get some really nice gelato. That’s very tasty. They have many different flavors.“

“So awesome they are now in Livingston - I used to travel 35 miles to get to it till they closed, and no other option but to go to NYC! Now they’re in my neck of the woods 🌎“

“I’d like to personally thank the ladies working last night at the Dairy Inn. It started to rain out of nowhere while I was placing my order. They quickly wrapped my order up for to go perfectly. Couldn’t wait to go and enjoy my ice cream!“

“Baskin-Robbins is really good cuz it has like 31 Flavors and you get free samples for example I want to try rocky road but I didn't know if I was going to like so I said can I please have a sample and they said yeah sure and then they didn't charge me“

“Very tasty treats and is very good priced the only thing is the waffle bowl price is on the waffle cone spot which to be fair it did say “waffle bowl” which I did not see but the price tag should be moved. But besides that it is a great place“

“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!“

“Best chipwiches around! Try them!“

“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!“
