50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Palisades Park

“This is my favorite Hey Yogurt location in the area. The yogurt is always yum. They make the drinks fast and the fruits are always fresh. They give you a LOT of fruit in the drinks as compared to the drinks I've gotten from other Hey Yogurt locations (cough Montclair cough). The staff is very friendly and always greet us when we come in and leave. The space is clean and well lit.

I highly recommend the pineapple, original, and purple rice with low sugar. I really like that this place includes fruit juice in the yogurt drinks. The other Hey Yogurt locations just tend to add a thin layer of fruit and call it a day.

This is a must stop every time we eat in Pal Park.“

“Best churros ever...!!!😋 😋“

“Small little corner store on lower level of short hills mall. Can’t help but see the 20+ flavors available of chocolates. Plus fresh made gelato must of been about 15 flavors. I got the mango & strawberry in a cup. Lined with chocolate and nuts. Was awesome. Got to sample the milk chocolate as well. VERY GOOD…..“

“You don’t have to travel to Italy 🇮🇹 to taste the best and authentic Italian gelato in the city. Venchi is my favorite place if I’m craving for something sweet. Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Todo lo que halla jajajaja muy rico“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“Excellent ice cream in a wide array flavors from the most conventional to surprising new ideas. Sparkling clean shop with professionally servers. Couldn’t have been more delighted with our visit.“

“I stopped by Venchi Chocolate Place and had an amazing experience. I want to give a special shoutout to Gina — she was super helpful, super sweet, and incredibly patient. I didn’t know what to choose, and she guided me through everything with such a friendly attitude.

She recommended a few chocolates, including the pistachio one, and wow… I absolutely loved it.
The chocolates here are top-quality, but Gina’s service made the visit even better.

Thank you, Gina, for the great recommendation and for being so kind.
This place is officially one of my favorites now.“

“Place is awesome, and love their gelatos and sorbets. My mom loves the Fuji Apple flavored sorbet“

“I had a fantastic experience! The store manager, was so attentive and cordial. I had no intention of buying anything and i ended up with a bunch of gelato and chocolate. Thank you, Devin!!

Parking: Easy to park. Its at the mall.“

“The place was impeccable and the staff were the most genuine I've encountered in NYC (Hard to find kind and genuine staff) Laura Fabian and Henry were incredible attentive and detailed in their service. Thank you for such a lovely experience for something as simple as an ice cream. Will visit that location again!“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“One of the highly recommended place to hangout and enjoy delicious stuffs. Special mention to Bibek such a well behaved well spoken person, he adds on such a great vibe to the place.“

“delicioso helado para adultos, el local, muy bueno.“

“I'll definitely be back. The three non-dairy flavors i tried were all great, but I went with the P.O.G and another that was similar to almond joy. The owner was friendly and the seating area was comfortable. There's also outdoor seating available!“

“All of the soft serve is amazing but i hella enjoyed their Woodside today! Ube with mochi and toasted coconut flakes was perfection!“

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!“

“Finally went & was not disappointed. Just the treat I needed 😋😛“

“This place offers around nine types of vegan gelati, including water-based (sorbets) and almond milk-based gelati. The gelati is excellent and very tasty. My one complaint is that they don't allow you to have just one scoop: two scoops is the minimum (for around $9); since the gelato was very filling, one scoop would actually do fine.“

“Love it the area is so welcoming and we didn’t have to wait long they recommended items and helped us pick our options scratchatela was very good. Would definitely recommend“

“It was a pleasure to work with Benjah Raphael. He was responsive to all questions, dependable and reliable in accomplishing the task at hand. I was most impressed with the turnaround and how quickly the settlement. I highly recommend him.

“Excellent quality Italian gelato, rich flavors and smooth texture rarely found outside of Italy. Place is very cute like eating in a story book hut. Got the large size ($12) very disappointed finding a sizable air pocket at bottom of the gelato cup. 1 star taken off because feeling ripped off.“

“The first time I tried them was at the Rockefeller center which I saw it on TikTok and wanted to see if it was worth the hype. I got the s’mores hot chocolate back in December 2024 and omg the best hot chocolate ever don’t go to any of the hot chocolate spots except this one because this was truly worth the hype. Now I went to go to their actual store (Sep 2025) they had a S’mores frozen hot chocolate which I got that, the customer service was amazing! The guy & girl were really nice. Now on to my drink which was the first time I had frozen hot chocolate and it was amazing!! I had an overall great experience and definitely will be coming back again. 🤎☕️ (I’m also picky when it comes to food & drinks so when I tell you it’s worth it! It’s definitely worth it!)“

“A great ice cream shop open late to satisfy your munchies and late night sweet tooth cravings. I could not be happier with what i got, i think it was the strawberry cheesecake of some sort. It was really nice though, and they definitely do not skimp on the toppings!!“

“Ice cream is so good. Smooth and sweet. The Falcons are super fresh and not artifical at all.mango is so accurate and the Ube is sweet but not too sweet with an aftertaste that is really similar to the real thing. Store is clean and cool. Staff is really nice. The yogurt is pretty basic but it isnt bad.I think the focal point is the ice cream.“

“I first discovered Van Leeuwen Ice Cream while exploring Hudson Yards 🍦✨ — one taste and I was instantly hooked. Creamy, indulgent, and creative with flavors that balance classic comfort and playful twists. It quickly became one of my favorite sweet stops in the city. 🌆💖

Their recent pink ice cream collab with Ed Sheeran was such a fun touch 🎶🍓💗 — proof that they’re not afraid to innovate while keeping quality top-notch. For anyone with a sweet tooth, Van Leeuwen is a must-try New York treat that never disappoints. 🙌🌸“

“great variety... loved the ice cream“

“Stopped by and had a strawberry green tea. Best of luck, guys.“

“I got to try your Earl Grey tea ice cream over the summer, and recently tried your London Fog ice cream bars, and they're both awesome!! Thank you for creating these!!“

“The gelato is very good. I cannot recommend the hot chocolate - it's flavorless and doesn't taste like chocolate at all. (I got the signature dark hot chocolate). The biscuit and macaroon that came with the hot chocolate were both good.“

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

“This is the only reason I visit Chelsea Market when I am in town.“

“I’ve been to Van Leeuwen a few times during my stay in New York, and I keep going back—it’s that good! The ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. My favorites are the honeycomb and coffee—both perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.
What really sets it apart is the homemade waffle cone. It’s warm, crisp, and buttery, adding the perfect texture and aroma to every scoop. You can tell they care about quality and craft.
Whether you're a local or just visiting, Van Leeuwen is a must-try. It’s comfort in a cone but not three scopes at once. Probably should get the cone in a bowl. 🤣“

“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.“

“Stack Creamery is definitely the best in flavors!! I fell in love with my ice cream with chocolate chip topping!! And their cookies are so delicious and fresh. Thank you so much for Gigi's service; it was the perfect complement to this sweet experience.“

“The ice cream at Tipsy Scoop is amazing. Great flavors. I bought a flight and got to try 4 flavors all delicious. my favorite was the mango margarita sorbet. I definitely plan to go back.“

“I went with a friend for the first time and we had a really good experience. They let us try a few of their flavors and I have to say, that made the decision even harder, they were all delicious! The place is small but we were able to sit inside, I love the mural they have in the ceiling of some Yonkers iconic places.“

“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….“

“This store is sooo cute and the chocolate is amazing. I like chocolate with nocciolo and it is very good there. Easy to get gifts, and staff super friendly and helpful.“

“Always a must whenever visiting the city! A person with a peanut allergies dream! Today we stopped by but the shop was closed for a private event, no worries tho because they served us our ice cream right outside in our car!! Felt so special and the kids were super excited!“

“I have went to many froyo store but this one takes the cake the store is always very clean and organized, the best thing about this store is the staff they are all very welcoming, one of the girl helped me open the door when I was having difficulty and they are very sweet to little kids always assisting them with amazing manners they are the sweetest and I can see that all the staff focus on cleanliness of their toppings and the way they deal with their products I definitely recommend this place

Kid-friendliness: The girls always help out my kids with the toppings and they are so well spoken to the kids they ask various types of questions. My kids loved them

Wheelchair accessibility: The height on the tables can be changed“

“This is my new favorite ice cream shop! My girlfriend and I were looking for a vegan-friendly place to grab dessert and Noona’s popped up on the map. I’m sooo glad it did! Shantelle and Chinesa were both so sweet, helpful, and fun to chat with. My gf and I loved the flavor options, with unique flavors like black sesame and ube vietnamese coffee and multiple vegan flavors for my girlfriend. I ended up going with the black and white sesame cookie flavor — I’d HIGHLY recommend it. The prices are a bit higher than other ice cream shops, but not that much more than most specialty shops these days, but the topping and drizzle of your choice that come with the scoop made it feel worth the cost, especially since there’s lots of yummy and unique options for that as well. I got mochi topping and red bean drizzle, both of which were perfect additions. Give Noona’s a try for delicious, out-of-the-ordinary ice cream and super cool staff!“

“I love Luciano’s gelato, I go here everytime I’m at American Dream and it never disappoints, the wide variety of flavors is amazing and the staff is super friendly and accommodating, especially Sam, Adrian, Amanda and Sameer, they are all great servers“

“Great ice cream and a great eating experience“

“Everything about this place was amazing!! The food was phenomenal, some of the best we’ve ever eaten! Our server Andi took care of us like we were in his home—he was so kind and really made the experience amazing. The platter with the different dips is a MUST, but also is the Caesar Salad, Lamb, and Pita. Wine and cocktails were so tasty and really paired well with everything we ordered. Honestly, order everything because you really can’t go wrong! Stunning spot and will tell everyone that visits the area that they must come to this spot!! Thank you again!!“

“Recently visited the city for a long weekend and stayed at the hotel next door. The gelato here was excellent. Loved being able to order on the tablets, which let us take time making choices (family of 5) and no worries about any orders being misunderstood. Service was quick and the cones both looked and tasted excellent!“

“Always a Sunday treat for me. A nice addition having the kiosks. Friend team and environment.“

“It’s a must try, taste is great, different flavors of awesomeness“
