“Came for a late night snack and was not disappointed. Gelato tasted great, authentic. I also like how they have a cafe. For non coffee drinkers, they have a tasty hot chocolate. The ambience is very nice, the decor was modern and tasteful, the space is very big and seems like a good spot to hang out. They sell merch too, if youre interested.“

“I love coming here whenever I find that I'm craving ice cream! Their homemade ice cream is amazing! ❤️

They have a ton of flavor options and it's always really fun getting to see what seasonal flavors they have available. No matter what you choose, it's bound to be delicious.

Our most recent visit, I had Fudge Brownie Sundae and it's definitely a new favorite. I could eat an entire tub of it.

The staff is always friendly, attentive and patient.

There are also ice cream cakes available for purchase, as well as candles and napkins if you need to grab some for a party.

Definitely recommend if you're looking for ice cream in the area.“

“We only love two ice cream places. Sundaes is one of them. Great product and service always.“

“Super friendly staff. Awesome ice cream flavors Delicious“

“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

“Today is Chocolate Milkshake Day! Wishing you a great day filled with sweet moments. 😊🥳😋“

“Had ice cream pie dessert at LouCas, Edison, NJ years ago. Was excellent and asked if they made it in house and they gave me Piece of Cake Frozen Specialties card. Since then a huge fan. Have purchased the Sampler Pie as well as many gourmet novelties. Each one is better than the next. My friends have all become customers as well after having it at my house. At my last visit The owner Jim took care of me. N(e had me sample a new product. Vanilla with only a few ingredients with no additives. Delicious. Bought a pint for my husband who loved it. I have gone dairy free the last few months and will go back to try his vegan ice cream. Everyone has to become a customer!“

“I've been coming to this location for about a year and some change, and everytime I come here the staff is so cool. Today I came by and a new hire rung me up- who was pretty cool, by the way. She took my order and she made sure the details were right down to the letter, then got started. This location is my favourite only because everyone here is so cool. \m/“

“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!“

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“We came past 10:30pm and they close at 10:30, they were super sweet, nice and attentive. They let us in and order everything we wanted, food was amazing, we had the mango crepe cake and drinks 10/10. Packaging is beautiful, reusable and well presented. Loved it, would recommend and will come back ???“

“This ice is great! And the family service is amazing! Thanks for your help in getting me started with my cart.“

“My family and I are obsessed with this place! All of the young workers are so kind and courteous. They are constantly cleaning up the yogurt machines and the topping stations and it looks super nice.
There's a wide variety of toppings and they're not basic either! My favorite is the sauce/ wet topping station. It's got everything from hot fudge to marshmallow drizzle and reese's peanut butter sauce!
I honestly can say I enjoy coming here more than getting an ice cream from an ice cream place. I'd highly recommend it for the topping selection and lots of variety.
Shoutout to the workers and owner for their great business! Also, the fish aquarium is so pretty and they're always playing something fun on TV for my kids to watch. 10/10!“

“I visited this cafe on Wednesday, and I was blown away by both the delicious crepes and the phenomenal customer service. It was my first time there, and I can confidently say that I'll be returning. The staff that day made the experience truly enjoyable and welcoming, the food was definitely top notch. I was happy to know they offer their services on all 3 food platforms: DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub. 10/10 would recommend!

Kid-friendliness: They're very friendly with kids my daughter loved it! Will be going there for a girls day out.“

“It's not really summer until you get your dairy quick fix. If you like Magic Fountain however you want to negate the ridiculously long lines then here is your chance. I'm actually surprised this hasn't become a popular hot-spot among the summer ice cream devotees. Only a matter of time before the word gets out...“

“gelatis!! ☺️ are the best thing!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Causeway. The new owner, Brad, is great! And every time I go it’s better than the time before! I got an ice cream cake made custom for my husband’s birthday and it was the BEST ice cream cake we have ever had! The entire party wanted a second piece! Can’t recommend it enough!!“

“Cash only.

Good flavors and plenty of topping options. The line is long, but it's worth the wait.

Ordered the cookie monster with kit kat toppings. I usually get the double chocolate brownie but felt like switching it up. There could be more chunks of cookie dough, but I'm still content“

“Great place! Friendly staff“

“Big portions and super fresh ice cream! Service staff rocks!“

Keep up the good work.“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“They have the best lemon italian ice. Perfect balance between frozen and creamy texture. I make sure to come here whenever I am in town. Better than anything else I've tried on the east coast! **Cash Only!**

Dietary restrictions: Italian ices are dairy free.

Wheelchair accessibility: 100% accessible although YMMV for counter service height.“

“awesome. nice people. great food.“

“Best Mochi Donuts in New Jersey! Owners and Staff are amazing! Great spot to try all kinds of mochi donuts and smoothies. They are expanding their menu to items like sushi, freshly made and other homemade goods.
If you’re looking for some really tasty mochi delights, look no further… Go to MochiMoly!

Kid-friendliness: The place is bright, colorful and vibrant. Owners and staff keep their business very clean for their customers. It’s a must try! ??“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“

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

“Cute, dainty shop with your standard boba drinks. The workers were extremely friendly and patient! I got two refreshing fruity drinks. I like the star shaped chewy toppings — made the drink fun to consume. Perfect for a hot day!

Plenty of free parking out front.“

“Ice cream - both hard & soft-serve, ice pops, and other frozen treats with all the trimmings and toppings. They also have an eclectic mix of candies and toys, plus a few trinkets and gift items. Prices are comparably reasonable. Located right on Hamilton Street with plenty of on site parking. The service is outside (thru windows), so they're not always open on the colder days. But it's a great place to hang out on one of the benches when the sun is warm. It feels good supporting local business, too.“

“Delicious frozen treats-Italian ice, ice cream, custard The store is spotless and the staff is attentive and friendly Mask up and head on over“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

“Amazing ice cream, staff is super friendly“

“I just wanted to share this amazing and beautiful cake custom made by one of the professional and friendly workers at Carvel in Old Bridge. I wanted this Taylor Swift inspired custom cake for my daughter’s 15th Birthday, and they knocked it out of the park!! Highly recommend this location for all of your custom ice cream cake requests.“

“Been going to Ralf’s for years since original location in Staten Island great family I know them well as for this rt 34 location product still is the same excellent but for what you get according to size you order seems to be skimpy or a bit shy depending who’s filling your cup ,for the price you pay you should feel like you’re getting your moneys worth but that’s not the feeling you get your order the cup should be filled no matter the size“

“Freddy's is awesome. Best burgers in NJ.“

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

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“There were 4 vegan flavors when I went (watermelon sorbet, mango sorbet, oatly vanilla, and oatly latte). I enjoyed all of them. For toppings, I got wet walnuts, which were very delicious, and oreo pieces. There used to be vegan cookie dough bites that I really enjoyed, but I didn't see them this time (there were cookie dough bites, but not labeled as vegan). I would like some more vegan flavors and toppings to make this place even better.“
