50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ocean Grove

“One of the best around. We come every year.“

“Found my new favorite beach spot! The Victorian Grill in Ocean Grove is this super cute, small corner restaurant with a chill seaside vibe. Loved the outdoor seating—it's way quieter than other beach areas.

Okay, but let's talk about the food. The Bacon Burger, medium, was literally one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. As a total burger fanatic, this is easily in my top 5. The patty was huge, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bacon was cooked to perfection. The seasoning was incredible and stayed with me every single bite. I was so full, but honestly debated getting another one. The fries portion was a bit small, but they were so well-seasoned I didn't even care. If you're in the area, you HAVE to stop here. So worth it!“

“The best vegan, gluten free ice cream and baked goods in NJ! It’s a safe space for a child or person with allergies to sit and eat a delicious treat. Every one will enjoy the ice cream!!! The owners are always friendly and welcoming.“

“My boyfriend picked up my ice cream cake last weekend (March 2nd) and the cake was AMaZINg! It came out better than expected. The cake decorator did an incredible job at making his idea come to life! It was vanilla, with chocolate peanut butter and chocolate drizzled on the side. It tasted delicious! We will be back for future cakes. Thank you!“

“It is a fun place for some frozen yogurt.“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“Now this is a way better and more AWESOME!!! ice cream truck service, safety updated with an electric swing arm stop sign like on school buses which is extremely AWESOME , safe, clear, and recognizable because octagon means STOP whereas sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end means SLOW unlike some other ice cream truck services that still have the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is confusing.“

“We loved our ice cream sandwiches! Everything was delicious, portions big and prices fair“

“We only love two ice cream places. Sundaes is one of them. Great product and service always.“

“Ice cream is fire. This feels like a crazy thing to say, but there are too many toppings/mix ins.

I was excited to try the ice cream but the two flavors I got are about 60-80% toppings so it kind of just feels like I’m taking bites of brownies.

It’s really hard to say that “bites of brownies” is a bad thing so 5 stars!“

“i loved this place! i got an extra small coffee w chocolate sprinkles in a waffle cone and it was the best treat after a long day at the beach. the sprinkles were my favorite part - they’re smaller and crunchier than regular sprinkles and they seemed tastier too. will 100% be back next time we’re at the beach!“

“Great experience! Ordered 2 ice cream cakes for my father's birthday. They were amazing and the customer service from start to finish was exceptional. Will be ordering my birthday cakes from these guys in the future. Thank you and awesome job!!!!!!!!“

“Thank you so much Kelly and Chrissy for a delicious cake! Not one piece is left! Creamy ice cream and awesome crunchies!!!“

“We were there on Monday of Labor Day Weekend and the staff and the place was amazing! You can imagine the rush when you go to a place like that on Labor Day weekend, add on top of that exhausted parents and over stimulated kids and it’s a recipe for disaster. But they were so patient and amazing and considerate and helpful when we were there. The portions are insane. The cookies are beyond amazing, still fresh 3 days later! And you’re on the beach. What more could you ask for? I’ll def be back!“

“Tonight I ran across the sweetest young lady with a heart full of compassion. My apple pay was failing me and I couldn’t pay for my child’s ice cream; then Cheinha (our server who helped us with such eagerness from start to finish) payed my balance. While I plan on going back and gifting this young lady; I wanted to shout her out for her act of kindness because in the world we live in that type of “love for your fellow man” isn’t seen to often anymore and it was definitely appreciated . Thank you SO MUCH again Ms. Cheinha! God Bless!“

“Amazing Espresso Martinis, friendly service, yummy gelato, and best of all, they're dog-friendly!🐶🩵“

“This girl is real hero, Claudia(?)….line through the door, and she is BYHERSELF!!! managed line to move pretty fast. No one even noticed that she is alone, smiled with real shine in her eyes… you can tell she is tired, but still glowing“

“The cookies and cream ice cream at this Carvel was incredibly creamy and had a perfectly balanced sweetness. The addition of the unique hot fudge topping was also loved. The staff was friendly and offered samples. The shop was clean and had a fun, vibrant atmosphere with comfortable seating. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a sweet treat any day. It is highly recommended! I love the lady rose that works at this location 😃❤️“

“I love the place, their service dedication and food was great. I love their Soft vanilla icecream with chocolate dip. Whenever I go there I get one of this. I'm really into it. Also with the oceanview beach on a sunny day, it makes a great combination.“

“Carvel NEVER disappoints!! The best soft serve you will ever have in your life. You gotta have it with the marshmallow sauce, hot fudge and crunchies!! Every time I’ve been to them I’ve never gotten bad ice cream. Go there you won’t regret! This is the best one I’ve been to out of all the ones I’ve gone!“

“This is my absolute favorite place in Asbury. The shaved ice texture and flavors are delicious as well as the ice pops. I usually bring a cooler and take some home as well. The flavors are so fruity and fresh, I always stop by when I’m in the area. Great fair prices too.“

“Best Carvel around!“

“Great for the entire family!! We love going to Freezing Point! 🍨“

“Crumbl Cookies is absolutely delicious! The cookies are always fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. I love that they rotate their menu with new and exciting flavors each week—it keeps things fun and tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store is clean and inviting. Perfect for a sweet treat or a gift for someone special. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Great little ice cream place (also some cookies) that has a load of flavor options (including vegan) and waffle cones and waffle bowls and shakes. Monster M&M ice cream was great - vanilla, cookie, peanut butter. Also the King ice cream was tasty and unique - banana ice cream! Staff very friendly.“
