“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.“

There are tables inside and outside to sit at. I look forward to coming back to try other flavors and treats on the menu.“

“Great gelato with awesome flavors. Blueberry pie and Cherry Pistachio but my fav is the Graham Cracker is so good and original. Unique desserts like tiramisu cups and truffles are delicious“

“The first time here is the best in Staten Island. Lines to buy the icee's. You can eat the icee made with water or milk. I recommend the maracuya, coconut, cherry, and strawberry, all made with real fruit and have pieces of fruit in it. People from other places come to buy in pint sizes to take home. I wish I lived there. I would have bought several pints, but I was visiting.“

“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.“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. 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.“

“everything was perfect! I ordered a gelati which is custard vanilla ice cream with italian ice I paired it with lemon ice and cherry ice which had pieces of cherry in it . It was a minute wait because the girls were cleaning the ice cream machine but it was not for long . I have not had this in a long time and it was still delicious.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in NJ – Salaam Ice Cream Parlor is a Must-Visit
it’s a full experience. The place is vibrant, clean, and welcoming, with a unique cultural charm that sets it apart from your typical ice cream shop .
The ice cream in question? rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classic vanilla bean or want to try something new . every scoop is crafted with care and creativity. The waffle cones are crisp and honestly addictive.
What truly makes Salaam stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the community and the people who walk up to get icecream.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Salaam Ice Cream Parlor deserves a spot at the top of your list. It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a place that brings people together.“

“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.“

“This drink spot is absolutely adorable!! The owner is super sweet, the yogurt drinks are very tasty, and the interior is absolutely adorable!!

Kid-friendliness: The owner and staff are very kind friendly!!“

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

“awesome. nice people. great food.“

“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 😋“

“Stopped here super quickly due to my other half being in the surgery center next door. Not from the Clifton area at all. I wanted to grab a little treat for him. I got the banana pudding. Omg!! To die for. The girl (assuming owner) was super sweet! Very cute place! A little hidden gem for sure!!“

“It's the bomb....great flavors and service...yeahhh“

“Perfect for kids, Plus the food is great!!“

“Great ice cream, even while waiting on line there’s a great vibe. By the way, I had the cherry vanilla!“

“I don't know why but I haven't been to Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard in such a long time; it's in my town too. Everything I've had over the years has always tasted fantastic. I'll come around a lot more, it is great.“

“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“

“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.“

“This place has amazing Protein Shakes, delicious/healthy food, and healthy fast working Energy drinks. From The Food to The Drinks she makes everything from scratch, all the ingredients she uses is vegan base and nothing harmful towards the body“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“
