50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Middlesex

“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!!“

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“The ice cream and Italian ice taste the same at this location as every other location, which is good. The problem is the selection. I was just at a Ritas in Pennsylvania and they had at least 8 different soft serve ice cream flavors, including cake batter and pistachio among others. This location always only has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Pistachio is my favorite and I got that when I was in Pennsylvania. I also noticed the other Pennsylvania location had more Italian ice flavors as well.“

“Very nice,friendly. Tasty flavors and many choices to choose from.“

“Today was our second time getting take out, ordered two different dishes and both were excellent as were the two we got a week ago. They "get it" when it comes to balanced flavor, variety of veggies and even the way they cut them with a special slicer was perfect. Truly Thai is now our go-to Thai food destination. I hope it doesn't change and they keep up this quality.“

“could not recommend more. excellent variety of flavors, including vegan / dairy free. Idk how they make it but this is truly the best ice cream I've ever had in my 30 years of life. Sizes are generous and they have been careful with allergies while serving my family.“

“Fresh Tiki bar is, by far, the BEST ice cream shop around town! The facility is always “fresh” and clean and the owners are warm and welcoming! The decor is top notch-when you walk into the door you immediately feel like you are on a tropical vacation! Highly recommend Fresh Tiki Bar if you are ever on Main Street and are in need of a sweet treat!“

“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!“

“Superior quality ingredients result in an amazing Italian Ice. Couple that with the greatest staff (and owner!) and you’ve got a winner! If you haven’t tried it, get over to Metuchen and experience this amazing ice!“

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

“friendly staff, delicious ice cream and beautiful Christmas trees!“

“great ice cream so worth the wait“

“The best in town!! Great staff, great prices. My favorite is the cherry vanilla gelati!!😋🍒“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

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

“I visited Icy Melon in Edison for the first time a few weeks ago, and it was a pleasant surprise. The environment is quiet and low key, which makes it easy to relax but the seating could definitely use an upgrade. It’s not the coziest spot to linger, but the food more than makes up for it.

I had one of their signature crepes, and my friend tried the matcha crepe cake. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

We didn’t wait long for our order, which was a nice bonus. You can tell they put care into both flavor and aesthetics in their food.

While the vibe is more functional than cozy, Icy Melon is perfect for a quick dessert run or a casual catch up with friends. If you’re craving something sweet and photogenic, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“10/10! Ordered a custom cake for my daughter’s confirmation. It was gorgeous ! And it tasted amazing ! The buttercream was so fluffy, the cake was perfect texture and the Oreo filling was delish ! The design detail was amazing. I would definitely order again for other occasions. Thanks for making it special for her.“

“I used to come here with my little girl. She’d consistently get a vanilla cone with cherry dip. That was her favorite. She’d always let me have a bite (in exchange for a bite of whatever I had, of course).

I love you Lilly“

“Love love love love love love this place and their customer service wouldn't get ice cream anywhere else. Super family orientated.

“Just left there and met the owner. Everytime I stop there the Vibes are 💯💯💯. Service is ❤️❤️❤️. Seems like she cares or they care about heir employees. 😎😎😎😎😎Love“

“Saffron in Piscataway offers an exceptional Indian dining experience, blending authentic flavors with an elegant ambiance. The diverse menu, welcoming staff, and beautifully crafted dishes make it a must-visit for food lovers!“

“Koko Loko Coffee is such a calm little escape.
I had the pistachio latte and it was fantastic balanced, nutty, and not overly sweet.
The barista was warm and welcoming, which really adds to the overall vibe. Inside, it’s bright, minimal, and quietly buzzing, perfect for reading, working, or chatting without yelling over noise.
Loved the long communal tables and clean, modern décor. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, this place absolutely deserves a 5-star stop.“

“Great place, with a great variety! My dad is allergic to dairy, and they had a few options for him. I loved that the staff was so accommodating and still tasted amazing.
cash only so make sure to bring cash! Had places to sit and Parking“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“Un yogurt delicioso 😋Con mucha fruta y lo que quieras ponerle pues lo preparas a tu gusto me encanta ir a ese lugar“

“This place has amazing fro yo and is a very safe place to go during this pandemic. You order online and within minutes they deliver your yogurt to your car, taking proper precautions. They give your toppings and yogurt seperatly so you could mix and match anything!“

“The ice and gelato are terrific“

“An old fashioned ice cream spot with tables to sit at and enjoy a nice treat. They have an excellent small vanilla shake and they don't skimp on the whipped cream. It costs about $5 and the sizing is more equivalent to a medium. All of the ice cream tastes fresh. Although prices are higher than we are used to, the quality is worth the cost. They have parking on each side and if you want to sit and rest on a bench near a tree nearby they have that option. They could benefit from some nice planters in the front. I will be back for their excellent shakes during the summer.“

“Undeniably the finest ice cream in the entire state. Their vanilla soft serve is on another level, richer, smoother, and more flavorful than anything I’ve ever had. It’s clear why this place has been a beloved landmark since 1981. The secret? A product that speaks for itself, simply unmatched in quality.“

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

“The food is good I like the oreo drink,but the order took long because people kept interrupting and this family kept on interrupting the lady that kept doing the hard work and she was doing the hard work and atleast put a extra worker to help her“

“Really fun little spot at Berkeley Heights for a sweet treat on a hot day! The frozen custard is creamy and delicious, and the variety of Italian ice flavors is impressive. Service is quick and friendly — great for a casual stop with kids or friends. Just one heads-up: the Italian ice melts very quickly — mine turned into sugary water in no time. Still, overall a nice experience — just eat fast.“

“So my family ordered sundaes. We didn't realize how generous the portions were. The quality of the ingredients was very good. We took home what we couldn't finish. The young lady that took care of us was very quick and efficient. She definitely needs a raise.“

“I've tried a couple of mochi donuts here and they are all amazing! Not too sweet and the flavors all hit the mark. I've recently stopped by and noticed they had Christmas themed donuts, which is think is so cute, they would be great to bring to a party or to gift to someone.“

“You’ll find flavors you didn’t know existed and your tastebuds will thank you. The ice cream is egg-free, GMO-free, and without preservatives. These are not words that I associate with ice cream. But I can’t deny that the end result was surprisingly good.

There are cakes for sale and take-out pints/gallons of ice cream in addition to cones/cups. Decent prices for decent decadence. Parking is adequate, and be on the lookout for pedestrians.

The staff was pleasant and helpful with our large group. A group can sample up to 5 flavors. The store is minimalistic, but it serves its purpose.“

“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!“

“I highly recommend this store location. Keith was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with my order. I had it sent as a gift and it was a big hit!“

“I have been eating tofutti cream cheese and sour cream for years. They are the closest and most delicious plant based options for both. I also use them in cooking and they melt well and still retain their flavors and consistency. Absolute power houses of versatility. They made going vegan so much easier.“

“Love their custard but they really need to give the customer what they pay for. $5 for a large and they fill it like it's a small. My second issue with this place; consistency is key.“

“Went here this afternoon and the gentleman at the window was so nice, patient and accommodating. He even has dog biscuits at the window for your pup! I don’t have a dog but I appreciate the gesture. I’m thinking he might be the owner but I’m not sure. Definitely 10/10 Will return!“

“gelatis!! ☺️ are the best thing!“

“Place is very clean, food is absolutely delicious and their smoothies are amazing. I get this around 3-4 times per week and have only good things to say about this place. Food comes out fast and their delivery prep through Ubereats is very good as nothing is ever spilled

Parking: Parking is a bit tough as it is on a very busy street. If you go around the block towards supremo supermarket you’ll be able to find a wider variety of parking.“

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

“Just stopped in at Land Mark Tavern for a weeknight pizza. By no means is this eloquent Tavern just a pizza place. We did have an amazing pizza, great salad and some of the best East Coast oysters of the season. The menu was outstanding. The atmosphere first class the drinks done perfectly. The entire dining experience was a pleasure. We will soon return.“

“We had a great experience for our son’s birthday party! Responsive, reliable, and affordable!“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“
