“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“Best Grapefruit ice cream ♥️“

“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.“

“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!“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“I liked the Ube gelato. It was pretty 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….“

“KikiLu Gelato Artigianale — Hoboken, NJ

While visiting Hoboken for the Italian Festival, my friend and I decided it was only right to celebrate with some really good Italian gelato. That’s how we ended up at KikiLu Gelato Artigianale, and I’m so glad we did!

KikiLu is a small, very clean and inviting artisanal gelato shop located on Garden Street in Hoboken. The name itself is a sweet tribute to the owner’s daughters, Chiara (Kiki) and Luna (Lu). The shop specializes in small-batch, Italian-style gelato made with clean, whole-food ingredients, without seed oils, artificial colors, or unnecessary chemical additives.

And the flavor selection? So good—and definitely not easy to choose from! When we visited, the case featured flavors like Coconut Stracciatella with Toasted Almonds, Polenta, Double-Roasted Sicilian Pistachio, Modena Wild Blueberry, Cantaloupe de Sud, Tuscan Salted Peanut with Burnt Caramel, Classic Stracciatella, Sicilian White Prickly Pear, Sicilian Extra Dark Chocolate, Fiore del Latte, Birthday Cake, Amarena, and more.

I went with the Polenta and Double-Roasted Sicilian Pistachio, while my friend chose Classic Stracciatella and Amarena. Everything was absolutely delicious. I especially loved the richness and creamy texture of the Polenta and Pistachio, and they paired surprisingly well together. My friend is a big cherry lover, so the Stracciatella and Amarena combination was definitely a winner for her.

The portions were generous, too. We paid about $8 for two scoops, which I thought was very reasonable for high-quality artisanal gelato. I also loved the presentation—each serving came with a little spoon and an adorable mini waffle cone.

We grabbed two of the stools by the window and spent some time people-watching, enjoying our gelato, and catching up before heading back to the Italian Festival. It was such a simple but enjoyable part of our day.

There’s actually much more to KikiLu than gelato. The shop also has a cannoli bar with allergy-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, a Lavazza espresso bar serving drinks like lattes and affogatos, and even an extra-virgin olive oil refill station. They also offer fun weekly specials and events, including Taco Tuesdays and W’Affogato Wednesdays. There’s even a second KikiLu location inside Choc O Pain at 1500 Hudson Street, offering a selection of gelato, pastries, and cannoli.

I really appreciated the quality, creativity, and attention to detail behind the shop. There were so many flavors I wanted to try that I already know one visit won’t be enough.

If you’re in Hoboken and looking for authentic, high-quality artisanal Italian gelato, KikiLu is definitely worth a stop. We came for a sweet treat during the Italian Festival and left already planning our next visit!“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“The milkshakes are not too sweet, which is great. Got some of their specialty shakes (chocolate and mint), both delicious.

But the real highlight is how kind, friendly, & helpful the staff is! They’ll also divide 1 regular shake into smaller cups for sharing.“

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

“Great coffees and nice staff“

“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

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

“I absolutely love rolled ice cream and have tried it at many different places, but this one is by far the best! They’re so generous with the ingredients, and you can really taste each one. The ice cream is also perfectly chewy and creamy. So delicious!“

“What a delightful ice cream parlor! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my visit, from the exceptional customer service to the delectable ice cream. It was my first time there, and I’m already planning my next visit. It was a perfect treat to end my Zumba class on a sweet note. 🤭“

“One of the best gelatos I’ve tried in the US! This makes all the other gelatos I’ve tried seem unauthentic. The hazelnut and pistachio were amazing. I don’t like pistachio ice cream but their pistachio flavor tasted nutty and delicious. I see why so it’s bustling with people going in and out!“

“The food, atmosphere, and staff was fantastic! For starters, the employees were super nice, helpful and patient. I ordered the Banana Split Dazzler Sundae and it was delicious and so worth the price. The atmosphere was wonderful and everything was so clean and organized. Since most businesses have a disheveled atmosphere, Häagen-Dazs did not disappoint at all! Overall, come here! It is amazing and you will not regret it.“

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

“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!“

“I recommend the Vanilla graham cracker cheesecake with mini crepe and Nutella banana 🍌 crepe! For kids its So yummy and healthy!“
