“Been wanting to try this spot and so happy that I got the chance today. Cute interior and nice staff. Tried the signature pistachio latte and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Cannot wait to try out other items on the menu next time!

Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating. Open parking out front.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

“John is great and always has a smile on his face and is super nice and friendly , highly recommend for party’s or a just to go hang out place!“

“I recently visited this place, and as usual, it was quite busy. They offer a much wider variety of ice cream flavors compared to other places. We tried the Toasted Coconut and Almond Coconut flavors, and both were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The staff was very kind, helpful, and provided excellent customer service. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious ice cream. 🍦🥥“

“delish!! perfect for a hot, summer day“

“Me and my neighbor decided to try Crispý Cones in Conroe, TX and it was really good!! The staff was friendly, especially Taylor who gave us the whole run down of the menu. Definitely will go back again. I want to try the hot cones now!!!“

“Such a good place! Everything was delicious and they have a very unique menu. They make these bubble waffle cones fresh per order that are delicious and the prices are great. Staff was super super friendly. My family of 5 was very pleased. I live in NYC and will definitely be back. Thank you speakfreezy ❤“

“Jason is honestly one of the main reasons going to Rita’s Ice is such a good experience. From the second you walk up, he’s friendly in a way that doesn’t feel forced or fake—he actually seems like he enjoys being there and talking to customers. It makes a big difference, especially compared to places where workers just rush you through the line.

What really stands out is how helpful he is. If you’re not sure what flavor to get, he’ll give suggestions or let you try samples without making you feel like you’re being annoying. He knows the menu really well and can recommend combinations that actually end up being really good. You can tell he cares about people leaving happy with what they ordered.

He’s also super efficient. Even when there’s a long line, he keeps things moving without making anyone feel rushed. He balances speed with good service, which isn’t easy to do. Plus, he pays attention to small details, like getting orders right the first time and making sure everything looks good before handing it over.

Overall, Jason just makes Rita’s a better place to go. It’s not just about getting ice—it’s about the experience, and he definitely improves that. People remember service like that, and it’s the kind of thing that makes you want to come back.“

“Cones & Crepes is a beautiful dessert spot in East Brunswick. My kids love this place.They can’t get enough of it.
Their crêpes are made fresh to order, with a great selection of toppings and fillings, from classic Nutella and strawberries to more decadent options. The ice cream and milkshakes are also a hit—rich, creamy, and full of flavor.
There are also other shops and restaurants in the campus.Whenever we come in this area to eat this has to be the dessert place.“

“🍦 Five Stars for a Sunday Sweet Spot!
We dropped by this Cold Stone late Sunday evening, and it was the perfect, low-key end to our family weekend. Since it wasn't crowded, the staff was incredibly patient with my kids as they picked out their favorite mix-ins.
The store was spotless, the service was friendly, and the ice cream was as rich and creamy as ever—nothing beats a fresh waffle bowl when you have the place almost to yourself. It was a great, stress-free treat for the whole crew. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“I came here yesterday walking around after the mall was closed and the kind gentleman running this little car scooped me and my daughter up one last time even though he was closing up and could’ve told me to come back tomorrow. Can’t forget to add it was absolutely delicious. Didn’t catch his name but he dread locs I think. What a class act! You guys have the right people under your wing. Thank you.“

“Water ice and custard is the best“

“Yum for the whole family!!! They’ll blow you away with the flavors and large array of selections. Lexie crafted the tastiest most well balanced coke float I’ve had in a long while.👏🙌🙌👏 Be back soon!!“

“I got the Dubai sundae . It was the best ice cream sundae I’ve ever had. The ice cream was fresh with different textures . Nice flavor and not too sweet. Madison made a great sundae . Highly recommend !!!! I’d add a photo but I ate it so fast!!!!! 😀“

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“The Gelatis are the best! Usually there’s a wide variety of ice flavors, lemon being my favorite!👍“

“The mango sticky rice here is phenomenal! I love Icy Melon sm! There’s always less people than Mango Mango and the food always comes out so quick and good. My bf and I come here at least once a week and everything is always so delicious.“

“Went to get my husband's birthday cake last minute, they we're so nice and understanding and didn't complain about the rush. They even put a note on the cake for me and also was able to get a number candle too! The woman on register was really knowledgeable about the selections and exactly where to find what I needed!! Thanks Carvel,!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Visited Kwality Ice Cream and had a really great experience! The Badshahi Kulfi Falooda was the standout — rich, creamy, refreshing, and full of authentic flavors. The pani puri was also super tasty with crispy puris and a perfect spicy-tangy pani. The paan was fresh and made for a nice finish.

Special mention to Madhuram, the owner, for the warm hospitality and friendly service that made the visit even better.

Tip: ask them to mix Pudina and Khata Meetha pani with a little black salt — it takes the taste to another level! Also, if you prefer better flavor, request room temperature pani instead of very cold :)

Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic Indian desserts and street food!“

“Honestly, this place is a complete gem. I've lived in the area for close to a decade and finally made the trip on over. The ice cream was delicious and well priced with very friendly and attentive staff. It's time for me to make up for lost time and make this a monthly excursion.“

“Went there for the first time ever n met Ava an employee there n I gotta say she has the most AMAZING energy n attitude!! Her customer service by far was best Ive ever had ☺,great smiley employee, great ice cream n shakes I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place n stop by n see her for great service!!! Comin back sooon 👍“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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