50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Maplewood

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“Great ice cream spot with plenty of eggless options, which is a huge plus! Almost all the flavors are eggless, only the cookie and cake flavor contains egg. So there’s a lot to choose from.

The strawberry ice cream was super refreshing and perfect if you’re looking for something light and fruity. The chocolate was rich and satisfying, and the salted caramel truffle was easily one of the highlights; creamy with a great balance of sweet and salty.

Overall, a solid place for ice cream lovers, especially if you’re looking for eggless choices. Definitely worth a visit!“

“it is really good I definitely recommend“

“I stop by this beautiful coffee shop where I’m able to sit with my pet, and I ca tell… the food is elegant presented, the coffee amazing and I took the chance to try the matcha absolutely recommended! Adding that is difficult to find a place where I can share time with my pet sitting down!!!“

“This spot's got it all - creamy dairy, dreamy non-dairy, and flavors that'll make your taste buds dance! Brownie ice cream is the real MVP, and the owner's friendliness is the cherry on top . We will definitely be back here! Highly recommended!“

“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

“Best ice cream and cookies in Westfield!“

“I first found this place through their stall at the Bergen Town Center, and I've been a customer ever since. They have so much sweets-wise from fruity drinks, sundays and so many fresh baked ube treats that are worth picking up. Personal favorite is their ube tres leches but anyone visiting should come back and work their way through their menu.“

“Caputo’s is hands down one of the best ice cream spots around. The ice cream is insanely creamy, super flavorful, and you can tell it’s made with real quality ingredients. Every flavor hits, whether you’re sticking with a classic or trying something new. The shop has such a friendly, welcoming vibe, and the staff is always great.“

“Thank you for sharing your delicious ice cream with our Staff for Teacher appreciation!“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“What a treasure of a find and right in town! Excellent customer service and so quick and efficient! Delicious gelato and we are looking forward to enjoying the heath bar ice cream cake for my son’s birthday 😊 We will continue to be repeat customers for sure!“

“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 👍

“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.“

Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity, and we hope to continue working together in the future to support our students and their education.“

“Just a little too overly cautious with the covid-19 for me but the ice 🧊 cream 🍦 was good prices and service pretty decent“

“friendly people serve you sweet treats. it can't get any better.“

“The ice cream was delicious but two people in my party got huge sundaes and they took about ten minutes to make. I felt horrible for the people behind us. I think a queue would be more appropriate than going and hoping you don’t behind the wrong people. Servings are more than generous but they’re packed into the container so tightly that on a hot day, it spills over the sides as soon as someone digs in. There’s also nowhere to sit A few small tables or benches would be nice.“

“el helado de chocolate con oreo“

“Caught a hot day for a ride and decided to track down some gelato. Bienvenue totally delivered. The staff is super helpful, and the prices are pretty reasonable.
The best part was sitting out on Church Street to eat it. It was kind of a vibe. Great experience all around; highly recommend if you're out exploring on two wheels or two feet.“

“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!!!!“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

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

“it was good“

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

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at SOMA Sweets, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience!

From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. The space itself is charming and perfect for a kids’ celebration - bright, fun, and full of sweet details that made the day feel extra special.

What truly stood out, though, was the owner and her team. Their kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. They went above and beyond to make sure every child felt included and had a great time. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

The activities were engaging and age-appropriate, keeping a group of excited 10-year-olds happily entertained (no small feat!). And of course, the sweets and ice cream were absolutely delicious - beautifully made and a huge hit with both kids and adults.

SOMA Sweets made everything feel easy and seamless. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the celebration alongside my daughter, which is the greatest gift.

If you’re looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized place to host a birthday party, I wholeheartedly recommend SOMA Sweets. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you, Monica and team, for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable!“

“Great place! I stopped by for some ice cream and had a really good experience. The girl at the register was very polite, friendly, and helped me choose — she suggested some flavors and made the decision much easier.

The ice cream itself was delicious, you can really taste the quality and freshness. There’s a wide variety of flavors and good portion sizes.

I’ll definitely come back again and highly recommend this place 👍“

“Ralph's Famous Italian Ices lives up to its name! Delicious, refreshing, and packed with flavor — a true classic that never gets old. Great variety of flavors and a fun nostalgic vibe. Minor things keep it from 5 stars but it's an absolute must-visit, especially in the summer!“

“Excellent service and outdoor seating“

“The young lady who took my order today was wonderful. Polite and didn't rush me and my granddaughter. Thank you.“

“Love Frozen Flamingo!! Great options for anyone!! Sarah even accommodates those who want all natural options!!!!! Highly recommend her unsweet tea and lemonade!!!! So refreshing!!!“

“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!(:“

“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“

“I absolutely love this shop, my go-to spot no matter the mood! The staff are always friendly and provide great service.

Best value for quality and quantity. My favorites are Monkey Madness and Moody Mango, and their bubble teas are perfectly balanced not too sweet.

Everything here is consistently delicious and never disappoints!“
