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!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“great variety... loved the ice cream“

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

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

“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. 🙌🌸“

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

“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. 🤣“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Must try if you are in the area for a delicious burger. Soft buns, meat patty cooked to perfection, always fresh veggies: tomato, onions, salad leaves, and their signature sauces are to die for. The space is cute and staff is friendly. The owner is always welcoming too.“

“The ice cream cookie was absolutely delicious — the perfect balance of chewy and creamy! What really made the experience even better was Jill. She was so sweet, attentive, and amazing throughout my visit. She made sure everything was just right and her kindness really stood out. Definitely coming back!“

“Had some cravings to eat something cold, Was here to get icecream. The quantity and quality of the ice cream stands out. Pretty much satisfied with the delicacy and flavors of the ice creams. Ambience was good and service was so impressive the guy handled the crowd in a subtle way.“

“Great ice cream and a great eating experience“

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

“Went to Van Leeuwen today and had such a great experience. The girl working there was so friendly and patient while I decided what to get. I ended up trying the Earl Grey and Pistachio flavors. The pistachio was soo good but both were great. Will be coming back!“

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

“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!!“

“This place has long lines on sunny weekends, so I decided to try it on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors. I tried the coconut and the pineapple. Both were good.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and gotta say I’ve loved everything I’ve tried there! If you’re coming I’d highly recommend the peach refresher, they make the peach jam in house and it’s delicious with tea or sparkling water. it’s a family run business, and the people are the nicest!! Please go and support them!“

“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.“

“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….“

“Peppermint ice cream. Yummy!“
