“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“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.“

“Awesome Gelato and Outstanding Service every time! I had the Affogato paired with the Hazelnut Gelato, and it was absolutely amazing. The Sorbetto Was Delicious!! The Cookies are also Good and make a great treat on the side. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!“

“It’s a really great place to go get some really nice gelato. That’s very tasty. They have many different flavors.“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“One of my favorite locations to get me some Cold Stone Creamery treats. My mother and I had a ice cream date to try their new “Cinna Roll Bliss”……OMG, Defreakinglicious. It was a beautiful night, we found parking right near the store and it was empty. It got packed as soon as we made our purchase. This location is clean, has a cute vibe and the staff are the sweetest. Looking forward to trying their pumpkin flavor.

Kid-friendliness: It’s an ice cream parlor for anyone, kids included.

Wheelchair accessibility: There’s enough room and some accommodations to assist anyone that’s wheelchair bound. Love that“

“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.“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“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!!“

“7 scoops has the best ice cream and it is reasonably priced! The staff is so friendly and helpful as well. Orla is fantastic! I highly recommend 7 scoops!“

“Awesome ice cream all flavors never disappointed always so good“

“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….“

“Always delicious and part of our every special celebration. Thank you for your amazing deserts.“

“I love Luciano’s gelato, I go here everytime I’m at American Dream and it never disappoints, the wide variety of flavors is amazing and the staff is super friendly and accommodating, especially Sam, Adrian, Amanda and Sameer, they are all great servers“

“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 🥰“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“Great homemade taste! Rotating flavors plus the classics. Tried a few: mango graham was surprising, matcha was so rich with a toasted flavor. Chose the chocolate covered cookies and cream and it was delicious in a wafer cone. I’m usually a sugar cone person but these gourmet wafer cones are crispy and didn’t end up soggy. The scooper generously jammed gelato down into the cone, not just a scoop on top. Btw every cup serving gets a micro sized sugar cone garnish on top!“

“Always wanted to try this ice cream spot since the mall opened and glad I did. Well worth the wait and found it to taste like the name. Creamy and delicious.

The guy helping us out was super nice and let me try as many samples as I wanted. Would come back every time I visit American Dream.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“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.“

“Gelato Rice balls calzoni“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“On behalf of the Mount Pleasant PTA, We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Guerriero Gelato for their incredibly generous contribution to our recent schoolwide event. Your support played a significant role in making the event a resounding success, and we are truly grateful for your contribution to our school community. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity, and we hope to continue working together in the future to support our students and their education.“

“Myself and my family have been coming here for over 25 years. We really never get ice cream any where else. It’s the best homemade ice cream around. And yes service is great, very nice and friendly. We just love it. It’s worth the 15 min ride. I’d even drive longer if I had to: 10 stars ⭐️ from us“

“friendly people serve you sweet treats. it can't get any better.“

“Excellent service and outdoor seating“

“This business is top notch and made my experience ordering a cake for my mom's birthday so easy and pick up was very smooth. Highly recommended, even if you are just stopping through town!“

“wow. after practicing long hours, creating music and bringing joy to world, tirelessly slaving over our instruments, ear drums blown, hands and body cramping fully, we need a place to relax. thus, we visit roll taid creamery, an environment so relaxing and so tranquil we instantly feel healed by the ambience alone. now the ice cream. the ice cream is absolutely delectable, hand curated by the amazing workers, or shall i say artists. such care and tenderness put into their work, you can truly taste the love and passion that they exude. it’s safe to say roll taid is the place to go.“

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“It's the bomb....great flavors and service...yeahhh“

“Malibu with cherry Italian Ice. May I saw the service is above & Beyond. Fast and very respected. Makes the customer feel good and its a guarantee of coming back with the entire family and share with others. Lots of different choices and there are little tables to eat outside the ice cream shop. I will say a family in front of me: the mama dropped her ice cream by mistake while carrying the others for her children and they literally gave her a brand new one with no charge! Other places they will charge 😆 but not Ralph's so go check them out this summer you wont regret it. 😉“

“Great workers there tonight. It was very busy and they handled the rush very well! The two workers scheduled between 6:30 and 6:50 ,which was about the time frame we were there, worked really hard and did their best to handle the rush. Wanted to make sure to leave a review and ensure they get recognized. Sunday 4/6/2025“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“delicioso 🤤 buena atencion 🎉“

“I finally got the chance to try Crumbl Cookies and I’m so glad I was able to try the lineup for this week. The cookies were delicious, Kentucky butter cake and sticky bun were my favorite. The pink velvet and Banana upside down cake were tasty as well. The staff was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order even ordering ahead. One of selections ended up being sold out and the workers decided to give me a free cookie. I’ll definitely be back, I can’t wait for next’s week lineup.“

“Amazing tasting ice cream at great prices accompanied by great service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in NJ – Salaam Ice Cream Parlor is a Must-Visit
it’s a full experience. The place is vibrant, clean, and welcoming, with a unique cultural charm that sets it apart from your typical ice cream shop .
The ice cream in question? rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classic vanilla bean or want to try something new . every scoop is crafted with care and creativity. The waffle cones are crisp and honestly addictive.
What truly makes Salaam stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the community and the people who walk up to get icecream.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Salaam Ice Cream Parlor deserves a spot at the top of your list. It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a place that brings people together.“

“Really nice, polite and courteous staff members. Very well recommended!“

“Great customer service every time I visit. My banana boat be xtra sloppy like I asked them to make it. DELICIOUS ����������������������....the flavor slushies ������“

“I came here because I love the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream brand that you buy at the store so I decided to come here they have a wide variety of flavors and I got the strawberry since that’s my favorite Haagen Dazs flavor the ice cream tasted good but it was really hard and did not taste as good as the pint it was still really good but it’s expensive so I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“The ice cream is delicious. You can tell that it's store made, and made fresh. Unlike most ice cream shops today that just buy their ice cream, you can tell the freshness in all of their ingredients.

It's especially a great place to go with the kids. They have a fenced-in area where the kids can play on the giant rocking chair or on the basketball court that they have in the fenced in patio.“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“The kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“We were first timer’s today… the girl that help us was so sweet and kind! The service was excellent! My son loved the brown sugar milk with bubbles!“
