“If you want the best ice cream in all of New Jersey, this is the place. I'm not a fan of hard ice cream (I'm weird, I know), but Melba has changed my mind. New flavors every week, friendly staff, and you can try the overwhelming number of flavors before you buy. The parking is rough during the summer, but the location is beautiful if you sit outside. I'd park and walk a mile for this ice cream, though. They close during the winter months, leaving you longing for their ice cream for a third of the year. Get there now!”

“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!”

“My partner and I stopped by Crumbl for our first time and had a great experience! We got the S'mores and Chocolate Chip cookies plus a Diet Coke. The cookies were warm, perfectly chewy, and high quality. The store was really clean, and the cashier was friendly and super informative. It’s a bit pricey ($15 total including a $2 tip), but convenient when you’re craving a cookie.”

“Great tasting ice cream. The only reason for a 4 start is because they don’t offer tasting on their 20+ flavors and the customer has to pay hoping that their choice of ice cream will taste how they wanted it. Not a great practice for any ice cream shop.”

“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!”

“Visited Kwality Ice Cream and had a really great experience! The Badshahi Kulfi Falooda was the standout — rich, creamy, refreshing, and full of authentic flavors. The pani puri was also super tasty with crispy puris and a perfect spicy-tangy pani. The paan was fresh and made for a nice finish. Special mention to Madhuram, the owner, for the warm hospitality and friendly service that made the visit even better. Tip: ask them to mix Pudina and Khata Meetha pani with a little black salt — it takes the taste to another level! Also, if you prefer better flavor, request room temperature pani instead of very cold :) Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic Indian desserts and street food!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE!! The owner is so so kind. Two friends and I were running late one night, and we called to see if they could stay open for an extra few minutes. The owner responded with great kindness and kept the store open. Fruity Yogurt is also one of the only places open late in Princeton. The owner even offered us free frozen yogurt. She said to pour as much as we wanted after we had paid. So kind!! Also very funny and personable. She also told us that all of their flavors are natural, and you can tell from the color and taste! I highly recommend!”

He was incredibly patient, kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Jack did everything he could to make our experience a great one, and his customer service really stood out. It’s employees like him who make you want to come back. Thank you, Jack, for turning our visit into such a positive experience! Shake Shack is lucky to have you! ❤🍔”

“A store that’s literally, THE center of attraction in the North Brunswick Shoppes Boulevard. This compact ice cream place has a good collection of ice cream flavors and a modest seating space with limited chairs and couple of tables. The staff are friendly and they also sell celebration cakes. The reason I’m giving this place a star less is because I didn’t find the cream of couple of flavors sweet enough. I tried Pecan butter and Rum and Raisin and wished they hit a sweet spot but they didn’t. The parking is spacious as it’s attached to the shopping center.”

“The staff member was friendly and patient, especially while I asked questions about some of the menu items.The wait can be a bit long, especially if there's a delivery order(s) and there's only one person there, which is understandable, though.Be advised that the hours listed on their website aren't always updated (found that out the hard way, after checking the website, heading over there, all excited about ice cream -- yes, I need to get out more often lol -- only to find the door locked because they'd closed an hour before and, while the sign next to the door had their updated hours, those same hours weren't on their website ??).The ice and Concrete we bought were a bit on the sweet side so if you or anyone in your group have dietary restrictions, or simply prefer to go light on the sweets/aren't used to very sugary foods, try getting a smaller size (they also have sugar-free options; however, some sugar-free sweets can taste even sweeter than those made with actual sugar/other sweeteners).Their mango ice was quite good, with a very smooth texture (it actually tasted like mango, a very sweet mango, intensified, and the ice itself had a finely-grated texture, not chunky).Their Apple Pie Concrete was also good (custard ice cream with apple pie filling and pie crust pieces mixed in). I'd wanted to try the pumpkin pie one, but they were out of it, sadly.Again, both the ice and the Concrete were quite sweet so heads-up on that. Bought the mango ice for my mother, who's a huge fan of mango, and, while it tasted a lot like mango, she complained that it was too sweet for her taste (and she doesn't like custard/things that smell of eggs so I couldn't get her an ice and custard ice cream mix, to temper the ice's sweetness with the dairy from the ice cream, which was also quite sweet).If you've never had custard-style ice cream, it's basically a thicker/more dense version of ice cream, not as watered down, and is made with eggs (so, if you distinguish a bit of an egg-y smell, that's why).I look forward to trying some of their other flavors/varieties/toppings, but will definitely try a smaller size next time. Thankfully, they also offer a baby size (though not in the Concrete), which is also good because, as another reviewer mentioned, they can be pricey.Be aware that they melt *very* quickly. Both the Concrete and the mango ice started to drip on my way to the car and it wasn't even that hot outside (plus, it was nighttime). Part of the issue was that the ice/custard had gone onto the rim of the cups/lids, before (or as?) the plastic cover was put on, so it melted off the rims and onto the cardboard cupholder and, then, onto my hand. That part wasn't as pleasant.As someone else also mentioned, some of the ice creams have an open top lid and that ought to be re-thought, especially while still in the midst of a pandemic. Closed packaging is easier to disinfect. I'm already exercising the good will/faith to purchase something not made at home (and that can't be heated up, either) so it'd help to make the packaging a bit more sealed (perhaps, use taller cups that can handle the overflow that the raised plastic lids allow for right now and then have a sealed plastic lid, without any openings). The ice's lid was a raised, solid/sealed one; however, the Concrete's lid had the raised/domed, open top-type of lid (even though the spoon they serve it with isn't the one used to mix it, as at other places so it doesn't seem necessary to have it be open at the top). It'd also help if the spoons were individually wrapped.I hope they take these things into consideration because I'd like to go back and try some of their other flavors.”
Ice cream has always been a beloved treat, offering a wide array of flavors that cater to every taste. Lately, however, the spotlight has shifted to more unconventional flavors, making classic choices like vanilla and chocolate seem ordinary. From ketchup to oysters, here are ten of the most unusual ice cream flavors to try.
Rainbow Cone, a Chicago ice cream shop, is spreading its colorful layers across the country for the first time in its 98-year history. The shop is known for its unique five-flavor ice cream cone, which stacks chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet in colorful "slices." Since announcing franchising two years ago, Rainbow Cone has grown to 21 locations, mostly around Chicago, but they're not stopping there. They've also opened a store in Indiana and recently made a deal to open 10 spots in Texas.
