“The best ice cream, the apple pie sundae is my favorite.🍦“

“best ice cream in Freehold. Been coming here for 60 years“

“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.“

“Delicious ice cream and wonderful service!“

“Love stopping by this Haagen-Dazs. Their selections of flavors are delicious! My husband likes getting the affogato and I recommend the midnight cookies and cream for chocolate lovers!
Rigo attended my husband and I so nicely. Super attentive and does an amazing job every time.“

“I have been a customer for a long time and I highly recommend you going to enjoy the experience of all the great choices. They have a great reward program. The woman Carly who works at this place is a hard worker kind and always avail to answer my silly questions. Try it!“

“Went there on New Year's Eve and the three ladies working shoulder be getting paid at least time and a half! They worked very hard and seeing the over 21s weren't there these girls should get more than an extra hour. Do your thing Cold Stone!“

“I used to come there for some ice cream cravings. After trying like 4 different places around, this one blew my mind with pistachio ice cream, which is my personal favorite. Not only that the ice cream itself is properly flavored, it also has nicely sized pieces of pistachios inside. Their waffle cones are a solid finish to the ice cream. I miss this place a lot.“

“Finding ice cream that I truly enjoy isn't always easy, but Cold Stone never disappoints. They offer a great variety of flavors, and their signature mixing technique really sets them apart from other ice cream shops.

If you're looking to try something different, I highly recommend my go-to mix: cheesecake, Oreo, and coffee ice cream blended with extra Oreos, chocolate chip brownie, and waffle cone. It's rich, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious every time.“

“We love getting ice cream here, be it summer, winter, or any day in between. Just happened to stop by on the first day of spring, when this location participates in a free vanilla code giveaway (no purchase needed). The only crazy part was the number of folks in line ahead of us. Fortunately, we got the ice cream in 25 minutes. Other times I have tried the Oreo Blizzard ice cream. Simple irresistible. Highly recommend this place.“

“Had a catering order. Placed the order a week in advance. The morning if pickup, the order states that it was ready when it was not. Got to the store and told them i was there for a catering pickup. No one said anything and they started to scramble to package everything. We paid extra to get the cookies in individual boxes. Upon getting the order noticed that nothing was in individual boxes. Now I have to scramble before an event to package these things. Do not get a large order from here.

Edit: cookies were delicious and we still had to make the boxes and pack the cookies ourselves the morning of our event but the store did right by us and gave us a refund.“

“One of the best places for dessert. Great people, great ices, great service“

“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.“

“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.“

“We came to the Englishtown location. So glad we did, my friend got a small banana ice cream in a cup she loved it!! I had a regular size Hot Fudge Sundae. It was perfection!! Wonderful server too. Fast friendly service and prices were very fair. We'll be back!!“

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

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!“

“The pani puri is exceptionally crispy, and they offer an impressive variety of flavored waters to choose from. To finish the meal, the sweet paan is a must-try. The staff is incredibly kind and well-mannered, making for a very welcoming experience.“

“I've been a Carvel fan my whole life, but the Old Bridge location is truly something special. Every visit feels like a trip down memory lane, but with the added bonus of friendly faces and consistently perfect ice cream.

The staff here are fantastic—always patient, smiling, and happy to help you find the perfect flavor or cake. You can tell they take pride in their work, and it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.

And the ice cream? Oh, the ice cream. It's always fresh, creamy, and exactly what you'd expect from Carvel. Whether it's a classic soft-serve cone with sprinkles, a rich sundae, or one of their famous ice cream cakes, the quality is always top-notch.
This is more than just an ice cream shop; it's a community staple. It's the perfect spot to grab a treat after a long day, celebrate a special occasion, or just enjoy a sweet moment. If you're in Old Bridge and craving ice cream, this is the only place to go. Five stars, without a doubt!“

“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“

“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.“
