39 Best Ice Cream Shops near Pennington

“Portion sizes seem to have increased (with prices). Regardless, pricing is fair.This is the best old-time ice cream (and food) stand around, bar none. You can even consume your order dining outdoors at covered picnic tables. Staff is friendly and helpful. I hope Cream King never goes away but hurry since it closes for the season mid-October.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this Carvel! The owner went above and beyond to make my day during a time when I really needed a little extra kindness. I had just had surgery, and his thoughtfulness truly meant so much to me.
It’s rare to come across this level of care and generosity. You can tell he genuinely values his customers and takes pride in what he does. I will absolutely be back—thank you again for your kindness!“

“Like a perfect slice of candy store history. Everything is clearly made with love by and it absolutely shows in the quality. I tried the truffles and they were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. My partner tried the ice cream and he promised we’d come back frequently“

“Honestly one of yummiest ice creams I have had in a long time ! I had the Belgian chocolate and being a discerning choc lover I was surprised at how much this exceeded my expectations. I liked the texture of the ice cream and it was just enough chocolate for my sweet tooth . Best part was the very friendly service . Sachin was very kind and warm. Always nice to get service with a warm smile . Keep it up ! I will definitely be back on my next visit to New Jersey“

“The ice cream is delicious, the staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Tonight we tried the S’mores hot chocolate which was a rich and yummy darker chocolate flavor with the top of the cup rimmed with toasted marshmallow. Highly recommend it on a cold night!“

“Ice cream fresh, delicious place is super clean and staff is friendly and helpful ❤️“

“The best water ice in the area! All of the flavors are homemade and delicious. The custard is also amazing. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“Dairy Queen continues to be one of my favorite go-to spots for both meals and sweet treats. Not only is the food consistently tasty, but the prices are also surprisingly affordable — especially compared to most fast food places these days. You can get a full meal (burger, fries, and drink) for less than what you'd spend at other chains, and the quality is just as good, if not better.

Their burgers are always hot and fresh, and I love the crispy chicken strips — they're flavorful, not overly greasy, and perfectly cooked every time. The portion sizes are generous too, which makes it a great value overall.

Of course, you can't talk about Dairy Queen without mentioning the ice cream. The Blizzards are legendary, with tons of mix-in options and seasonal flavors that keep things fun. The soft serve is creamy and smooth, and their sundaes and cones never disappoint.

The restaurants are clean, the service is fast and friendly, and I always leave satisfied without breaking the bank. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch or a frozen treat, Dairy Queen hits the spot. Highly recommend it for families, budget-conscious diners, or anyone who loves classic comfort food done right!“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“Went here for the first time today and they were locking the door but we're kind enough to let us in. We tried jersey shore flavor and it tasted homemade. The ice cream was soft and creamy, not at all icy. The Carmel tasted home made and not out of a jar. They are open even though it looks closed when you drive buy. Clean and neat. Much better Ice cream than the one by Trenton market“

“Last Dairy Queen in the area. Great icecream and other cold treats. Very friendly staff who have worked there for years! Hurry up and visit before they close for the winter.

Parking: Large free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the window and order.“

“I love Rita's.They have the best assortment of flavored ice. The gelatis are outstanding. And misto's that you can mix diff. ices together with the custard. Please bring back the icecream cakes. We had one & it was the best ever! Thank you very much. Oh yes, when will the be open til 10pm?“

“First off whoever hired to 2 gentlemen who served me today around 6:45, choose correctly. They were both professional, respectful, polite, and on TOP OF THEIR GAME!!! Haven't had Rita's in almost a decade since moving out west. These 2 gentlemen went above and beyond to make my experience rememberable. Thank you guys for taking your time to make my visit top notch. 1000% will be coming back to this location.“

“I frequent this Rita’s often. Today 6/15/22 I received my order total and I realized it was much more than usual. I asked was there a price change recently. I was told there was a $1 charge for sprinkles!!! This new pricing is not posted on their current menu. Patrons should not be charged for this until it’s visibly posted on the menu.“

“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.“

“Amazing customer service along with delicious froyo! I thought I left my bag at the outdoor benches next to the store and the manager, Lauren, checked the cameras and said I indeed did leave with my bag. It was such a relief that I didn’t lose it and I ended up tracking down my bag after that. Thanks so much for your help!“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“First time getting Crumbl and I was lucky to be able to try the dubai chocolate brownie so good. Can't say much about customer service since I placed the order in the screen they have there and picked up. It was really good I have to say.“

“good stuff and clean store“

“Nelson would be proud! Stopped in today and couldn’t be happier. Yardville Carvel is back to being the BEST! We will definitely be stopping in more often. 😊🍦“

“The best ice cream ever! Try a blend-in— my go to is vanilla with Butterfinger! They have a ton of different flavors and toppings. They even have dairy free if you are allergic like my son is!“

“Loved their selection of toppings. Their mochi was great! While their selection of flavors wasn’t big, I enjoyed their taro and ended up making a 26 oz bowl of cookie dough, chocolate, and cookies and cream. Definitely a great place to take a break from the ice cream on Nassau.“

“Awesome!!!!!! Thank you very much“

“Literally the only ice cream place we eat 🍦 My kids absolutely love it, and as a mom of a child with a peanut allergy, I was beyond grateful that one of the workers went above and beyond by thoroughly washing the scooper to avoid any potential peanut remnants. That level of care truly means everything. My personal favorite flavors are Amaretto and Toasted Almond — both AMAZING. Thank you for the delicious ice cream and the kindness“

“My kids love it here. Nice environment and friendly staff.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food is well worth a visit, and the positive energy you feel is a happy homecoming.(Original)Excelente servicio y la comida pues riquisima vale mucho la pena visitar lleva feliz a casa uno la energía positiva se siente.“

“Sinceramente, la mejor tortilla de harina que he comido en trenton, personal muy amable, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el sabor es grande, usualmente los tacos de azada son muy buenos ya que la calidad de la carne es muy buena, los helados y granizadas son muy buenos, todo a un buen precio. Sugiero siempre llamar para ordenar ya que tienen muy poco personal.“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“Team Shake Shack Princeton the best!“

“This pizza place is located in downtown Trenton. It's one of the few restaurants left there. They are pretty decent pizza and you can usually get a special of a soda and a slice. The service is really good and they will help you if you need assistance. The pizzeria is wheelchair-accessible they have a slight little bump in the front.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is pretty flat and wheelchair accessible. The counters are a tad bit high“

“Do yourself a favor and stop in for some of their delicious cookies!! You won't be disappointed!!“

“MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER! 😁“
