29 Best Ice Cream Shops near Pennington

“Great selection of treats here, not just ice cream! There are booths inside, along with stand alone tables and chairs, and some outside. Even up until closing they are quite busy, I believe hours may shift between summer and fall/winter so make sure you double check. They have a wide selection of ice cream flavors and Italian ice flavors. The Ed Special is particularly delicious (vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, fudge, and pretzels). Definitely will be coming here when it's warm again in the spring and summer!“

“A staple in this area. Always worth the wait. Yes, there is no seating and there is always a long line. And yes, it's cash only. But it is well worth it! The staff is friendly, the store is very quaint. But the ice cream is absolutely one of the best out there. It's the perfect spot to cap off your evening. They close at 10 pm, which is a huge bonus. I never miss a chance to pass by here whenever I'm in Princeton.“

“We came here because we kept seeing photos on instagram of the sundaes and it was well worth it! The man serving us was so friendly and engaging and while the menu seems overwhelming because there are so many flavors - he was super patient and even snuck surprises into each of our choices like rainbow sprinkles at the bottom of my cone and a chocolate cookie for decoration. It was so good honestly! It’s primarily chocolate and vanilla soft serve but the types of sundaes seem endless!!!“

“The person who assisted me was very friendly and informative. I wasn't hungry, but I stapled 2 gelato flavors to see if I could fit a little in. I didn't care for the 2 flavors, so I checked out the pastries. None of those were tempting me, so I decided to try the hot chocolate. It was so thick and rich that the tiny "shot" cup was the perfect amount. I added the marshmallow meringue and I was so glad because it was delicious! I would like to go back and try more items when I am actually hungry.“

“Crumbl Cookies is an absolute delight for anyone with a sweet tooth! From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly baked cookies envelops you, setting the stage for a delectable experience. Their rotating menu ensures there's always something new to try, but no matter the flavor, each cookie is baked to perfection--crispy on the edges, gooey in the middle, and bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a treat. Crumbl Cookies is a must-visit for dessert lovers!“

“The best. Their milk and iced tea is excellent and very well priced. I've had too much great ice cream in my time, and this place always will be my favorite. It never fails to bring a smile to my face. The ambiance of the store itself is classic. Recommend ?“

“Best carvel ever they have never disappointed me and my family. The cakes are always amazing and perfect.Their staff are very friendly. The shop is also very clean, which is why I have been here for so many years. The owner is an Asian lady .she is always super nice and welcoming! And who doesn’t want their ice cream asap? ?“

“I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Food was absolutely fabulous I got two Burgers an order Of onion rings, and an order of fries with cheese on the side. They read the comments that I put on each order of special requests, and not a single thing was missing. Looked like a husband and wife was working there, and although it was late at night, I was shocked they were practically dead. So glad to have found this place and got to enjoy it for the first night in my new home. Got the style sauce on the side because I wasn’t sure if I would like it and it was great. Will absolutely be back!Dietary restrictions: They had so many options for buns including gluten free!“

“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“

“This was a really fun place to visit, it's very family friendly with a nice little playground for the kids. The ice cream was really good. They have unique flavors to try. There was a festival or some kind going on while we were visiting. All in all this was a great experience and I will return to try some more delicious ice cream.“

“Stopped here randomly and so glad we did. Guy could see we were struggling making a decision and offered some guidance. He gave really great advice on what to try. The seasonal pumpkin pie was definitely delicious and such a good recommendation. The Royal Blizzard was also an awesome choice. He put so much topping in. I was so happy. Highly recommend.“

“Fantastic offering and great staff! I ordered 12 cases of novelty ice creams for a party and they were a HIT! The staff is so helpful and provided extra dry ice to ensure it didn't melt while driving and also made sure I knew to drive with my windows cracked slightly.“

“It's heavy nostalgia for me, I grew up in Yardley and always loved Yardley Ice House. Their water ice is soooooo much better than any chain (looking at you Ritas). They have great flavors, all using real fruit. The price is perfect and nothing here is over priced, it's all worth it. I wish they had one where I live now, cause I miss real water ice. I follow them on insta and it always makes me want more. Whenever I'm here in the summer I will always stop in. They are cash only, so be aware.“

“The world's best ice cream! [1] When I use to live in the area this was always the best place for the freshest ice cream and cakes. Fast-forward 20 years and my work brought be back to the area for the week. I was happy to find that my favorite ice cream place survived! I walked in to find the freezers full of fresh colorful cakes as well as other packaged desserts to take home. You can't find cakes as fresh as these at the supermarket! The employees were friendly and the service was quick. The only words to describe the feeling of eating fresh soft serve is heavenly. This Carvel is locally owned and is focused on making the experience of going for ice cream its top priority for its customers. I am sad I can't get ice cream this fresh where I live.[1] Me eating a soft serve cone- March 31, 2023“

“This place RULES!! Friendly service, no line and delicious ice’s. Met Cayla who made an outstanding choice of Black Cherry Gelato (when I couldn’t make up my mind).Cayla was engaging, fun and def has passion for her job.Free parking and lots of discount shops in the immediate area.Spend your money here… this place ROCKS!!“

“Love the custard and mango water ice.But, the serving sizes keep getting smaller and smaller ! Why?The large is now similar to the small for the same cost.If it’s a cost saving measure , keep the size and raise the price.It’s a drastic difference.Not happy.“

“Ok this place has the greatest ice in america! Everything tastes great! The employees I swear to god have some great manners and now how to get the job done. The make the ice cream fast but no mistakes what so ever! So when you come here to visit make sure you enjoy while it lasts cause it sure is a treat!“

“I enjoy the Oreo blizzard every time just wish they wouldn't rush to make it sometimes because the cookie doesn't crush as well and I get stuck with huge chunks... Other than that, they have a pretty good system going that allows for social distancing but because of it, they use one window for ordering and one for pick up so you may have a longer wait than usual (but with everything lifting, that may change)“

“My 3 year old w/ severe dairy, egg, nut allergies fully enjoyed her first froyo experience today! We felt extremely safe with the way the employees & owner took care of us as, and are thoroughly impressed with the precautions they took to prevent cross contamination.The entire place is clean, atmosphere is friendly, and the flavors + toppings are top notch!!!Thank you for offering yummy allergy-friendly & vegan options. We are extremely grateful and will always come back!“

“I love Rita's Italian water ices. They are amazing. Every chance I get to go, I go. They taste incredible. I try to get flavors I have not tried before. I tried the green apple and wasn't disappointed at all. This particular day, their ices were free for a small size because of the first day of spring. I grabbed one. The place was not packed at all. The service was nice and on point meaning it was fast. Their establishment was clean. Had nothing blocking the view nor entrance. I enjoyed and will be back over and over again.“

“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?“

“Ice Cream with premium ingredients with a unique taste. Every flavor makes you savor every spoonful or lick you take. Being in the Quakerbridge Mall gives most people easy access to one of the most distinguished premium ice cream anywhere. The Hagen Daz Kiosk is in the Center of the Mall along side of the escalators . There is yogurt and sorbet and even gluten free or non dairy if you want. The servers behind the counter where very knowledgeable on the Haagen Daz flavors and the different products available. I chose the Chocolate Peanut Butter and Chocolate al Mode. The prices are above middle range but your palate will tell you it is all worth it.“

“My friends and I went on March 23rd right before closing. The two employees, Brandon and the other ones whose name we didn’t catch were amazing. They were so helpful and kind even though we came obnoxiously close to closing. So much so we all felt the need to leave reviews. THANKS BRANDON AND FRIEND!!!“

“The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is really cute. We ordered all chocolate chip cookie, a matcha cookie, and a brownie. They were all pretty good, although we wish they could've been warm. But when eaten with some milk, it's the perfect pairing!“

“First time going to this location since it just opened up. I went with my family in the afternoon. The lady who worked there/assisted us was extremely helpful and super nice. It was a pleasant experience. We all got vanilla & chocolate custard in a waffle cone. So yummy!! Will definitely be coming back to this location.“

“Sydney was such a kind hearted helpful staff member who even helped me to make my Cookie Monster yogurt truly out of this world by adding delicious toppings to my treat including but not limited to chocolate syrup and perfectly crushed Oreos the quality of the yogurt was mediocre but the great service from Sydney made it all worth it. I will be returning for more delicious delightful yogurt perhaps next time I will try strawberry“

“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.“
