50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Maywood

“Thank you for your support of Eastbrook’s class of 2021!“

“Stopped in for some gelato, Leonardo was helpful in making our decisions, patient and pleasant. We will definitely go back when we come back to Bologna.“

“I stopped by Venchi Chocolate Place and had an amazing experience. I want to give a special shoutout to Gina — she was super helpful, super sweet, and incredibly patient. I didn’t know what to choose, and she guided me through everything with such a friendly attitude.

She recommended a few chocolates, including the pistachio one, and wow… I absolutely loved it.
The chocolates here are top-quality, but Gina’s service made the visit even better.

Thank you, Gina, for the great recommendation and for being so kind.
This place is officially one of my favorites now.“

“I had a fantastic experience! The store manager, was so attentive and cordial. I had no intention of buying anything and i ended up with a bunch of gelato and chocolate. Thank you, Devin!!

Parking: Easy to park. Its at the mall.“

“Everything about Venchi is amazing. The staff could not have been nicer. The person helping us knew exactly what was vegan and the chocolate gelati was delicious. The raspberry and strawberry were yummy too - just nothing compared to the chocolate. Even the coffee had vegan options. If you’re in the area, must stop!“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“My daughter loved the cupcakes, and i loved their price as well as the decor and feel of the bakery. Home has changed lots since ive moved. The only thing that could be better was the person at the register, he was highly engaged in his phone so his responses/interaction was quick short, kind of like he didnt want to be bothered. Overall the place the is 😍“

“The first time I tried them was at the Rockefeller center which I saw it on TikTok and wanted to see if it was worth the hype. I got the s’mores hot chocolate back in December 2024 and omg the best hot chocolate ever don’t go to any of the hot chocolate spots except this one because this was truly worth the hype. Now I went to go to their actual store (Sep 2025) they had a S’mores frozen hot chocolate which I got that, the customer service was amazing! The guy & girl were really nice. Now on to my drink which was the first time I had frozen hot chocolate and it was amazing!! I had an overall great experience and definitely will be coming back again. 🤎☕️ (I’m also picky when it comes to food & drinks so when I tell you it’s worth it! It’s definitely worth it!)“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!! Made the experience that much better. Nice to see the spot were the final episode was filmed but if we lived closer we would come back for the food!! So glad David Chase picked Holsten’s!!“

“It’s Carvel - been eating their soft serve since I was a kid. It’s always on point. This Carvel is clean and the staff is super nice (been there twice this week, don’t judge). The lack of the 5th star is there is only outdoor seating and because of location, someone is always sitting there,“

“Loved trying this new hot chocolate with gelato! Nicky helped me and my bestie and was super fun and welcoming to me and everyone that came in! Definitely coming back to visit and to get more gelato. 5/5 for sure!! She suggested pistacho with hot chocolate and it was THE BEST!!!! Go try it now even in this cold weather. Thank you Nicky 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽✨✨“

“Best ice cream in New Jersey highly recommended .. try the Dubai chocolate its addicting 🥰“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“I’ve been to Van Leeuwen a few times during my stay in New York, and I keep going back—it’s that good! The ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. My favorites are the honeycomb and coffee—both perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.
What really sets it apart is the homemade waffle cone. It’s warm, crisp, and buttery, adding the perfect texture and aroma to every scoop. You can tell they care about quality and craft.
Whether you're a local or just visiting, Van Leeuwen is a must-try. It’s comfort in a cone but not three scopes at once. Probably should get the cone in a bowl. 🤣“

“Thanks for the yelp elite invite. In little part of town is a hidden gem. Must have past it numerous times. What a great experience! It was my first visit at New Territories, a Hong Kong inspired ice cream and dessert shop. When I walked in, I was greeted by nuz one of the workers there. Warm welcome & big smile.She was super informative about the menu and so much fun to talk to. Then I met the owner , Pete. Explained to me to story of the store pretty amazing. They are famous for their bubble waffles. Was hot and fresh with along with vanilla ice cream & sprinkles. I had the double lemon float with lemonade and lemon sherbet as well. Store was very clean. There was about 15 flavors of ice cream to choose from. Definitely will be going back. Was able to snap a photo with Pete as well… “”OFF THE RECORD… he made another waffle no charge. for me before I left… let’s say didn’t make it home. :) oh almost forgot they have amazing fresh cut fruit açaí bowls… sorry pete… the waffles got to me….“

“We really enjoyed the ice cream — the flavors were delicious and super fresh. The guy working there was very friendly and helped us choose the right flavors, which made the experience even better. There’s also plenty of space inside, with tables where you can sit and enjoy your treat. A cozy spot for a sweet break! 🍦✨“

“Recently visited the city for a long weekend and stayed at the hotel next door. The gelato here was excellent. Loved being able to order on the tablets, which let us take time making choices (family of 5) and no worries about any orders being misunderstood. Service was quick and the cones both looked and tasted excellent!“

“Cute cozy place in Nutley. They have GREAT menu, the Earl Grey tea self served Ice cream was GOOD 😍👍 👍👍
The owner, Kristine was very Friendly, kind and warm welcome. We also got a complementary UBE Mochi [So DELICIOUS...😍].
Definitely RECOMMENDED this spot for great bubble tea, Ice cream & Dessert.
We'll be back to try a different flavors 🥰“

“Had a delicious hot chocolate affogato here today and an absolutely wonderful experience overall! Linda and Blu were incredibly welcoming and patient while we decided what to order which made the visit even more enjoyable. It was such a fun stop—great treat with genuinely kind, helpful people. The outstanding service alone makes me want to keep coming back, and the gelato and hot chocolate were the perfect bonus!“

“They will be closing Thanksgiving weekend“

“Best Grapefruit ice cream ♥️“

“I own my own Ice Cream shop but after dining at this fine establishment, I might have to close my shop down because my ice cream can NEVER compete with this. I got the Low Fat Triple chocolate yogurt because I got to watch my figure and it was so good, it had me hitting my happy dance like that tiktoker John Loves Food in the middle of the whole store. Thing was so good it was practically orgasmic, Atmosphere? Great! Service? Great! The managers at this establishment were so good I wanted to hire them for my place. This is the perfect place for a date or if you're just single like me and craving Ice Cream.“

“Fresh enjoyable used for business meeting“

“So pretty and so delicious!!! Too bad I forgot to take a picture of my dad’s birthday cake.. I made an online order(it was easy!) of chocolate lava cake and it was one of the most delicious Choco lava I have ever had!! I have a picture of some other ones….“

“Peppermint ice cream. Yummy!“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“Service was warm and friendly, always a huge plus. The Toffee Caramel, I believe it was, was phenomenal, very creamy and wonderful flavor. The Straciatella not so great, not very creamy or flavorful, wouldn’t recommend. I tried the Crème Brûlée after the fact and that was lovely as well.“

“We were visiting from San Antonio Texas and this is the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted!“

“Must try if you are in the area for a delicious burger. Soft buns, meat patty cooked to perfection, always fresh veggies: tomato, onions, salad leaves, and their signature sauces are to die for. The space is cute and staff is friendly. The owner is always welcoming too.“

“� � loved it so did my kids great experience and fun .“

“SO GOOD !!
Expensive :/ but worth the treat
Nice Mr Moo
Cute cows and Despicable Me
Loved the sticker
Packed w goodies !!

I had the charcoal mocha w pb and Reese’s - the ice cream was more coffee than chocolate in flavor; I should have sampled beforehand
My friend had everything but the cereal w Reese’s and marshmallow fluff

We loved ! Drove over from Paramus :)

Great summer evening to sit outside and ENJOY“

“Great homemade ice cream.Great assorted flavors.You won't be disappointed.“

“My son and I had such a great visit. The owners are so friendly and nice. On top of that, it’s the best ice cream I have ever had! I live 20 minutes away and I will definitely be visiting again soon“

“Highly recommend Sedutto ice cream, such good customer service!!“

“Salt & Straw has some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The monthly flavors are always something interesting. Theres some amazing classics too. Theres a flavor for everyone. My favorites are pistachios, strawberry balsamic, and coffee & love nuts. The staff is amazing, kind and knowledgeable. When the store is packed with guest they do the best they can to provide exceptional service to each customer.“

“A great spot for gelato, especially in the summer! The flavors we tried were all enjoyable — the pistachio was a bit on the sweeter side, while the coconut was light, creamy, and just perfect. The cookies and cream was also really good.

The quality of the gelato is definitely there, but the portion size is a bit small for the price, which might make some people think twice. Still, if you’re looking to treat yourself to some high-quality gelato, this place is worth a stop.“

“They have the best lemon ice cream 🍦🍦“

“This is an outstanding place to get ice cream. Not only do they have a large variety of delicious ice creams, but they also offer a number of really high quality dairy free ice creams AND toppings! We had a very nice time. I had the brown sugar cookie dough, which was very good, and he had a dairy free sundae with dairy free chocolate sauce. We can't wait to get back!“

“My daughter had a play date and her new best friend lives near by this ice cream place, it's a hidden gem they prepared the rolled ice cream and the bubble crepes fresh right in front of you, you got to be a little patience as sometimes there is a line and the 2 servers is doing their very best to prepared all orders according to what received, we ordered Nutella rolled and strawberry banana crepes and both devoured by our kids and both loves it so much, my daughter already asking me to comeback so we can try a different ice cream menu, inside the place is organized and clean, both server is really helpful, I have no complaint with service and everything is delicious, we will definitely coming back soonest.“

“First time coming here and the vibes are amazing. The customer service and the music is great for sure. Got a Daddy Yankee yo and my family got 2 Malumas. Both taste and look amazing. I also got a Elote with a Picada. The food was outstanding overall this place is a must come to for sure. I’ll be here again with the family.“

“Ok, so photo don't look good because I had to dig in quick during a hot summer day. I don't like sweets in general, but DAMN!!!, the blueberry lemon basil is really good. The Oreo, chocolate and nocciola flavors are on point. Will be coming back for sure.“

“They have a 5.0 rating as of this writing. And I can see why. They make their own gelato in house. And it’s oddly good. Way better than it should be for this little out of the way place. I’m not sure this is a destination kind of place. But if you’re in the neighborhood, it’s perfect. Kid friendly and kid approved.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Every detail from the warm welcome at the door to the unforgettable flavors shows passion and authenticity. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels both like home and a luxury treat at the same time. I love their coffee and I always try different desserts every single one has turned out delicious, especially after asking the lovely owner for recommendations! ❤️ You won’t just taste the difference here, you’ll feel it. A must visit spot that raises the bar for everyone else in the area!“

“what do I recommend? The ice cream....“

“Crumbl Cookie is an absolute treat every single time! From the moment you walk in, the smell alone is enough to make your day better. The rotating weekly menu keeps things exciting, and every cookie I’ve tried has been perfectly baked—crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. The flavors are creative, rich, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Even the classic chocolate chip is next-level. The staff is always friendly, service is fast, and the presentation is beautiful. Crumbl isn’t just cookies—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for satisfying any sweet craving! 🍪✨“

“Every time the door opens the owners are always smiling and very welcoming. A warm wanted feeling is nice for a customer to feel. Especially these days. The ice cream is ALWAYS fresh. The place is always clean as well.“

“Gelato Rice balls calzoni“

“The ice-creams are delicious. They have many egg-free/vegan options as well. And the staff members are very friendly. My son dropped his ice-cream on the floor, but they refused to charge us even after us insisting.“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“
