50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Northvale

“Ice cream was very delicious and I plan to visit again“

“Try their smoothies for the first time today. So yummy!! nice consistency and good flavor. Very fast service too“

“This place is fantastic! Real quality gelato. My favorite flavor is the dark chocolate. Mariana and Selena working behind the counter are superstars! Very friendly and personable and they really get you excited about the gelato they are preparing for you. Excellent service! Thank you Mariana and Selena! We will be back!“

“Delicious Italian ice and very friendly young men behind the counter. Great to have Rita’s back in the area!“

“I’m so happy to have found this little gem. The staff was very friendly. The inside is super cute. The best part about this place is their soft serve ice cream. The Ube is my favorite & they give a generous amount. I also like the matcha & ube mix. They also offer various different flavored ice cream, boba teas, & desserts. I 10/10 recommend this place !!“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“Lost Borough is an incredibly special ice cream place located on a cute stream in downtown Yonkers. Its flavors include rare gems like brigadeiro and chinola. Its staff is welcoming and gracious. And the prices are gloriously affordable. Did I mention the free toppings? If you are passing anywhere near Yonkers, this is a must stop.“

“Best ice cream in New Jersey highly recommended .. try the Dubai chocolate its addicting 🥰“

“Best in NJ! The number one spot of choice to satisfy my sweet tooth and get my daily dose of caffeine with either an Espresso or Latte before starting my work day. Many ice cream flavors to choose from , high quality and tastes great! Best waffles I’ve ever had. Place is meticulously maintained ,which is crucial for me, I noticed how attentive the employee’s were to the tables, counter and floor. Spotless! Very warm and welcoming environment! Sal is the man!“

“The gelato, service, and atmosphere are excellent.“

“I was there for the first time a few weeks ago. Was so impressed! The vanilla soft serve actually had flavor. Most places I make them put a ton of toppings on just so it has some flavor. Also, the medium was so large my two nieces that normally want larges could barely finish it. So you definitely get your moneys worth. My only question is I want to bring a friend who’s allergic to eggs. I called the shop and they said they didn’t know if there was eggs in the ice cream (If it wasn’t for my friend, I would never know that many places like Carvel does use eggs to make it more creamier). So do you use eggs in your soft serve?“

“I recently ordered (and ENJOYED) a custom ice cream cake for my wife's birthday, and I can say with great certainty, that was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Absolutely fresh and fantastic...thank you! 🥳🎂🎉“

“They have the best lemon ice cream 🍦🍦“

“Taste just like it use to ( as it should ) Never disappointed.. I always know what I’m getting myself into.. so consistent !!! 👍 👌 🙏“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

“Exquisitely delicious, sumptuous and sized right!
A sensory experience you don’t want to miss!!
The “Aroma”upon entering Ceil’s dessert Patisserie is irresistible!
The “Visual appeal” is perfection!
The “Taste” doesn’t compare to other bakery’s due to the quality and
Pureness of ingredients used.
The “ Price point” is right on due to the quality of ingredients, creativity in design, variety in selection, kindness of staff, cleanliness of bakery, no artificial dyes used and low sugar content… all the purest of pure!
Treat yourself, family and friends for you won’t be disappointed!
Enjoy!
Thank You CIEL!!“

“The ice-creams are delicious. They have many egg-free/vegan options as well. And the staff members are very friendly. My son dropped his ice-cream on the floor, but they refused to charge us even after us insisting.“

“Just picked up our ice cream 🍦 we love it. it is so amazing and delicious“

“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. 😉“

“delicioso 🤤 buena atencion 🎉“

“First time there today at the Nyack store, chose my personal favorite black raspberry and it was awesome! I am kind of a connoisseur of this flavor, and this was super delicious! Staff was also very friendly and the store nice and clean.“

“My daughter loves it , she says music and all is amazing. She was Surprised thats the bubble gum ice scream had literally candy inside 😅“

“Hi 👋 This is the best Italian Ice you will find anywhere, and the NICEST family owned! XOX“

“The cookie butter bomb is so good! I enjoyed it so much I’d definitely recommend this ice cream place! Very tasty!“

“Excellent shave ice and ramen!“

“Absolutely delicious! The flavors I chose today on a waffle cone: Pistachio & Piña Colada. The shop also has a small & nice sitting area in the front, with 2 swing benches, umbrellas, 1 iron bistro table & chairs.“

“I've always loved Carvel. This location everybody is pretty cool. Always great times when I go there. My only problem with Carvel is that they STILL DON'T HAVE rewards points. Everybody wants rewards points, COME ON ALREADY CARVEL!! WE WANT REWARDS!!“

“Have a chat with Santa he is a treat ! 🥰“

“Stopped by this location as we visited Jersey and did not disappoint! Arya answered every question of ours as we did have a lot (lol) but definitely made suggestions and assured us the cookies were all very good and we believed him! Thank you for the customer service!“

“End of an era. I used to love going to this Carvel as it’s right in the neighborhood. I tried going today 2/16/2026, only to find out it’s another ice cream shop and Carvel, no longer. This Carvel had been in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. It will be missed.“

“A group of us were rucking 10 miles following the Washington Retreat route and we went to stop here for some ice cream to cool off. They weren’t open yet (we were an hour early), but one of the owners came out with a pack of ice cream sandwiches for us! What a treat, that was very kind, and we were so grateful, thank you!“

“This place is everything you need on a hot summers day! You have got to try their fresas con crema (strawberries with cream) it's so good! I also enjoyed their takilocos which made me want more after finishing it. You won't be disappointed by their ice creams either they are all natural and have an amazing taste! 10/10 recommend!!!“

“The best around by far! Lots of flavors, but the simple swirl always hits the spot.“

“Had brownie sundaes with chocolate ice cream and they were amazing! Rich, fresh, and super satisfying. It’s a little on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the quality and portion size. The place is clean, staff is friendly, and the desserts are next level. Definitely coming back soon!“

“The first time I stopped recently, on a 85 degree day, the service was great!
I ordered a vanilla ice cream soda; vanilla soda with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The next time I went last Saturday at night the girl didn't have the faintest idea of what vanilla soda was. Finally I got what I wanted but it was annoying. I understand if she was new
But teach her. Otherwise I love their ice cream!“

“I came to this place, and a girl named flora attended me and her services exceeded more than I expected she is so sweet. Her customer service is amazing. You guys need to come to this place and ask for her. She was helpful with helping me choose the flavors. 5 star love love“

“My four year old was adamant that he wanted a rocket ship ice cream cake for his birthday. I called a 11 ice cream cake shops in the area only to be told that it was impossible without the right mold. One place even asked me to order a mold for them and they would see if they could make the cake but wanted to charge double for the effort. I randomly found this Carvel in Hackensack and after explaining what I wanted, one of the staff members brainstormed ways to make the cake come to life. I sent them a picture and out came the best rocket ship ice cream cake that anyone had ever eaten! The cake looked beautiful, tasted delicious and most importantly, my child was super happy. I will always place cake orders with you guys!“

“A community fixture in Pearl River. I always try and make up some sort of excuse to get their frozen custard vanilla.

One cannot consider themselves a complete human being until they get soft serve (or a variant thereof) from King Kone.“

“the owner is always there. the place is spotless and it is the best tasting carvel around!“

“A wide variety of Ice cream especially the Caribbean flavors“

“Glacé 👍🏽 Milkshakes 😋 Hot Fudge Sundaes 🤗“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“100% recomiendo los helados y paletas“

“Great, took little cousins and it was fun as well as delicious. Pricey but good“

“Wish you could order food from grub hub or DoorDash“

“Great service!! Exceptional taste. Immaculate store.“

“The food is very delicious, the attention is the best. Delivery is fast and if you need your food at a specific time. You just have to call ahead so your food is on time and in shape. Basically that's what I do and I haven't had any problems.
Have the beautiful experience of living their seasoning and the comfort in which they make you feel.

Let's have empathy with everyone.

Infinite blessings. ✨“

“First time trying 16 handles EVER I’m an indecisive person especially when they’re so many flavor options- Josue was kind enough to share his favorite flavors, his recommendations, etc. I was able to try a few samples before deciding on which option to go with. This location has plenty of seating as well and clean. I’ll definitely be back!“

“As always, this Carvel location is always my go to. Their staff is phenomenal, honestly the best out of all carvels I’ve gone to. I only order cakes from this location because their decorator is always on point when it comes to designing. My son loved his cake and so did everyone else. I’ve learned to just give a theme to the decorator because they always do an amazing job and I have come to trust and appreciate their creativity. And while the Icecream is delicious, this post is to mainly reflect the greatness of the staff and especially the decorators.“
