41 Best Ice Cream Shops near New Brunswick

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

“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 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.“

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

“Delicious ice cream and wonderful service!“

“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.“

“The ice cream at What’s the Scoop is some of the best we’ve ever had. This local fav is not to be missed. So many flavors, excellent quality ingredients and super helpful staff. They also make custom cakes that are fantastic. You can pick your ice cream flavors, frosting, message and sprinkles. This cake made our special event extra delicious and memorable.“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

“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!!“

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

“My husband and I stopped for Ice Cream today for the very first time. I had the peanut butter vanilla it was amazing loaded with peanut butter premium ice cream. So many flavors to choose from Owner is so pleasant the store is immaculate. The Speak Freezy also offers sugar free options. I would give this business 10 stars!!! Guarantee we will be back.“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Such a nice little Carvel shop — clean and welcoming! The owner is very warm and friendly, and the staff are all super nice. The ice cream tastes great and my kids absolutely love it! We’ll definitely be coming back for an ice cream birthday cake soon!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Not sure what all the bad comments are about - I've been here twice and both the ice cream and service has been great every time. I have a slight suspicion of why there's so much hate but I won't go there - instead, I'll speak on my experience.

Not only do they have classic flavors (chocolate, vanilla, double chocolate), but they have exotic flavors (lychee, a few spices) that are done extremely well, and some classic Baskin Robbins-like flavors (rainbow, cookie monster) that don't taste synthetic like Baskin Robbins. In terms of texture, the ice cream and even the sorbets are creamy. There was maybe one bite where I felt some ice flake but that's about it.

Also, they let you try as many samples as you want! The prices are also very fair - two scoops, medium size, for $5.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Loved It!

I stopped in for a quick bite and ended up having some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The barbacoa tacos were incredible—super tender, flavorful, and packed with just the right amount of spice. You can tell the meat was slow-cooked with care. The tortillas were fresh and warm, and everything was topped off with fresh cilantro and onions, just how I like it.

The service was friendly and fast, and the whole place had a great vibe—laid-back but clean and welcoming. If you’re anywhere near this spot and love tacos, do yourself a favor and try the barbacoa. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this ice cream was next-level. The moment I took the first bite, I knew it was worth every penny. The flavors are rich without being overwhelming, the caramel is perfectly smooth, and the whipped cream on top just takes it to another level. You can actually taste the quality—nothing about it feels cheap or rushed.

What surprised me most is how satisfying it is. It’s one of those treats that instantly boosts your mood and makes you feel like you’re indulging in something truly special. If you’re debating whether to try it, honestly… just go for it.

This is the kind of dessert that you end up thinking about later.

Highly recommend.“

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