39 Best Ice Cream Shops near Madison

“The take out process is brilliant. Nothing better than a couple of quarts of McCools ice cream to have on hand! Order online and pick up at the curb.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Lots of flavor variety. Wish the sugar free/ NSA flavors were listed on the menu .“

“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“

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

“The ice cream here is excellent! The boba however needs some improvement. I’ve had it a few times months apart thinking it would be different, but unfortunately that hasn’t been the case. The tapioca isn’t soft enough meaning it’s not chewy throughout, so it has a bit of a bite to it. Also, the boba is always mostly ice.“

“Swirl is still my favorite but cakes did look amazing“

“Great people inside the counter with great service Thank you“

“I finally got the chance to try Crumbl Cookies and I’m so glad I was able to try the lineup for this week. The cookies were delicious, Kentucky butter cake and sticky bun were my favorite. The pink velvet and Banana upside down cake were tasty as well. The staff was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order even ordering ahead. One of selections ended up being sold out and the workers decided to give me a free cookie. I’ll definitely be back, I can’t wait for next’s week lineup.“

“great cookie“

“Humble establishment... she made my kids feel so welcomed... can't wait to go back... please visit 💛“

“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.“

“Special shout-out and thank you to Erick and Kona Ice of Paramus who allowed us to roll up on him as he was closed and parked on the side of the road, preparing for an event, and was kind enough to allow us to make a purchase and make this hot summer night that much better. Customer service at its finest….YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!“

“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 😋“

“The lady working days here made my birthday! I wish I had gotten her name, but she was so sweet and so helpful. She made just what I wanted for my retro throwback birthday. I love Carvel, and this woman made me remember why I loved them as a kid.“

“Hands down probably the best ice scream I've tried in New Jersey. I was visiting from New York with a group of friends and we found this place on a whim just driving by and decided to check it out. I got the Honey Lavender ice cream, which was to die for. HIGHLY recommend!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Haagen-Dazs is good place for ice cream. Always like their ice cream. Good thing is you can try flavors before You buy some place don’t want to do that . Employees are friendly. Reason I gave 4 star because some items are overpriced. You can get their products cheaper in other store like shop rite , stop & shop .“

“Good donuts, great staff, wasn’t sure what to get and they were able to walk me through getting something a little custom just for my taste. It’s always so bright and cheerful inside. Oh and the donuts are made fresh??? Amazing!!! (Try the cinnamon sugar donuts trust me)“

“awesome. nice people. great food.“

“This place is just amazing! There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different. Everything we got was delicious- we all tried each other's dishes. There's a little bit of everything to satisfy even the pickiest eater. I would just drive her (over a 2 hour drive for me) just to come eat here. I need this place closer to home, lol.“

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