38 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!!“

“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.“

“Great experience here.

Tons of ice cream flavors to choose from and very reasonably priced.

The young servers were very friendly and efficient...kudos to them.

Conveniently located right on Main Street with lots of street parking in the immediate area.

Lots of food options in the area as well...this is a great post-dinner dessert option.“

“I have prided my night life going to Zitas for well over 25 years. Intoxicated nights driving to get the world's best ice cream... You're closed omg I'm suffering eating a nasty Mc Fluffy craving your infamous flavors... I'll see yall soon love your ice cream all the way from Ocean County “

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

“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 ???“

“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!“

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

“great ice cream so worth the wait“

“Do you really live in a small east coast or Midwest town if you’re not eagerly awaiting the seasonal opening of the local ice cream shop? Closer to Edison than HP proper, this no-frills ice cream shop in a barn-shaped building serves up some excellent ice cream. They offer everything from soft serve to dole whip.

Some notes for when you go. There’s a limited amount of parking spaces, a small amount of picnic benches for seating, they only take cash, and there’s always a line. It goes pretty quickly though! I highly recommend walking there if you can!

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free and sugar free options.“

“Looooove this bake shop. Ever since I moved to the area, they are my go to for all celebrations . Best bakery hands down. If you are in doubt, I am here to tell you to go for it. Well worth it everytime

Kid-friendliness: Bright and airy shop to go in and order or pick up cake orders

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible via wheelchair“

“Great food. Great service“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went here on a whim and really enjoyed it. They have a bunch of unique and tasty flavors. I saw cakes for sale, and they sell take-out pints/gallons of ice cream in addition to cones/cups.

The staff was really friendly and helpful in navigating all the flavor choices. Your group can sample up to 5 flavors.

Eight of us agreed this was a great choice and a delicious dessert option.

Vegetarian options: 100% vegetarian“

“Dining at Stonehouse was easily one of the best experiences I have ever had. From the
moment we walked in, the elegant decor and serene atmosphere set the perfect backdrop for
our evening. The interior design strikes a wonderful balance between sophistication and
comfort, creating a welcoming space that encourages conversation and relaxation. The live
piano player added a delightful touch, enhancing the ambiance with soft melodies that created a
cocktail lounge feel throughout our meal.
Our server, Courtney, was truly exceptional and made our dining experience even more
memorable. Full of energy and charisma, she attended to our needs with a warm smile and
genuine enthusiasm. Someone in our party even remarked,
"She's the best server we've ever
had,
" which was beyond true. Courtney's recommendations were spot on, and her attention to
detail ensured that our experience was seamless from start to finish.
We began our meal with perfectly cooked and flavorful calamari, which was tender and
seasoned just right. It was a fantastic way to kick off our dining experience. We also decided to
share a Caesar salad as our first course, which was fresh and crisp, featuring generous portions
of romaine lettuce and a delicious dressing that perfectly complemented the dish.
For our main courses, we were all thrilled with our choices. The duck breast was presented
beautifully, with a rich sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. I opted for the salmon, which
sat atop a bed of fingerling potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The salmon was cooked to
perfection, flaky and flavorful, making every bite a delight. The cocktails were high quality, and I
want to try more on my next visit. The Boozy Bee was such a nice drink—refreshing and
perfectly balanced.
To round off our meal, we indulged in the desserts, which were nothing short of amazing. Each
dessert was beautifully crafted and offered a sweet ending to a perfect night.
As a special touch, Joshua Weissbard, the general manager, stopped by our table to check in
and presented us with a small keepsake to commemorate the evening. This thoughtful gesture
truly exemplified the outstanding service we received throughout our dining experience.
We cannot wait to return to Stonehouse and request Courtney again. Thank you for an unforgettable evening.“

“Amazing ice cream, staff is super friendly“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“it's clean, has nice people working there, the food tastes real not that frozen bs, easy to order, they aren't cheap when you ask for extra toppings like once I asked for pickles and they gave me nicely cut pickle slices like a whole container“

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

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

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“I tried to order through Uber Eats and my order got canceled due to out of stock. Then I edited it to get a new cake, and even though I was overseas, they tried to contact me. The replacement cake was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly nice. I can't thank them enough because this cake was so important to me.“

“S.O. TO THE CAKE DECORATOR FOR PASSING THE VIBE CHECK and actually giving me an all white cake that no other location would give me. Girl you a queen keep it up we’re getting more from you for sure 10/10 job. P.S. it was for my wedding cake lollll“

“The brownie barge was amazing! We got the apple pie ice cream with it and it was so good! Can't wait to go back“

“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.“

“BEST MATCHA ICE CREAM EVER 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I'll just suffer to offer a mini size with 1 or no topics.
The kids size is still so big!
This place is definitely for ice cream exotic flavors lovers!“
