Ice Cream Shops near Old Bridge

“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!“

“The woman was very nice and the ice cream was great. The "fresh" baked waffle cones were good but I could tell it was a little old. Not exactly surprised about that though. Later on I did end up throwing up all 3 scoops onto the rug of my room but I'm pretty sure it's just because of the fact that I was performing orally. Hardly stained!“

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

“If you ever need a cake I highly recommend! Super accommodating and so talented!“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff. Awesome ice cream flavors Delicious“

“Best ice cream flavors and assortment of items!“

“I have been a customer for a long time and I highly recommend you going to enjoy the experience of all the great choices. They have a great reward program. The woman Carly who works at this place is a hard worker kind and always avail to answer my silly questions. Try it!“

“Went there on New Year's Eve and the three ladies working shoulder be getting paid at least time and a half! They worked very hard and seeing the over 21s weren't there these girls should get more than an extra hour. Do your thing Cold Stone!“

“I love this place i beg my sister to drive me here. The froyo is soooo good i recommend the birthday cake. And 70 TOPPINGS you can get literally anything. Also the atmosphere is great like a fish tank yessss. And the people are always so nice and usually pretty empty so you don’t feel judge on getting sooo much fro you“

“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 love this place, the variety of flavors, the staff is so friendly and the prices are just right. I highly recommend this place if you love ice cream, shakes, or ice cream cakes this is the place to get them. AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++
Keep up the good work.“

“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.“

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

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

“Great items !!! Such a huge selection and so good !!“

“I take my sons there once a week. The staff are very thoughtful when it comes to my sons. My sons order their own choice and the staff is very attentive to what they order“

“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.“

“great service, always. yum“

“Had a catering order. Placed the order a week in advance. The morning if pickup, the order states that it was ready when it was not. Got to the store and told them i was there for a catering pickup. No one said anything and they started to scramble to package everything. We paid extra to get the cookies in individual boxes. Upon getting the order noticed that nothing was in individual boxes. Now I have to scramble before an event to package these things. Do not get a large order from here.

Edit: cookies were delicious and we still had to make the boxes and pack the cookies ourselves the morning of our event but the store did right by us and gave us a refund.“

“Good ice cream. Friendly service. What’s not to like.“

“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!“

“We came to the Englishtown location. So glad we did, my friend got a small banana ice cream in a cup she loved it!! I had a regular size Hot Fudge Sundae. It was perfection!! Wonderful server too. Fast friendly service and prices were very fair. We'll be back!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“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.“

“Updating my review based on the owner’s response. While our first visit on a Sunday morning was disappointing due to being overlooked while staff focused on prep, the management response was prompt, direct, and genuinely accountable. They acknowledged the mistake, explained the situation, and took full responsibility without making excuses. It’s clear they take hospitality and feedback seriously and want to make things right. We’re willing to give them another try based on how professionally this was handled.“

“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.“

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

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“Great Place“

“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!“

“Ask for the pumpkin latte ice cream . Not on the menu but available til late fall Sooo good!“

“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.“

“Best ices and the staff is so friendly They will always get my business.“

“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 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.“

“The ice cream here is superb“
