“Good place to bring your kids and family“

“Long line, worth the wait. Friendly servers despite the onslaught of customers!“

“Very good experience. Me and my family love to go there all the time. Today we met the owner she was very friendly and also offered to try new flavours. My personal favourite is strawberry cheesecake which i get all the time. Must try driving 30 minutes was worth. Will be back soon.“

“We were pleasantly surprised! Both the location and the ice cream won our hearts. The flavors were excellent—we tried a few, and the Lavender flavor was our absolute favorite.

We also loved the small outdoor seating area, which added to the charm of the place. One thing that really stood out was how easy they made it to check for dietary restrictions. Every flavor was clearly marked for allergens and preferences, including egg-free, nut-free, gluten-free, and vegan options. Such a thoughtful touch that made choosing flavors simple and stress-free.

Definitely a place we'd love to visit again! 🍦✨“

“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!“

“i was at dq last night and there was a young male working there and he went above and beyond for my order and I really appreciate that ! His name might’ve been Brian, I’m not sure though sorry! i got a Cinnamon toast, crunch dip and a quart of vanilla ice cream with a cherry dip. he was helpful and was able to do exactly what i wanted. it was so good !“

“ice cream cake is so good here“

“The Gelatis are the best! Usually there’s a wide variety of ice flavors, lemon being my favorite!👍“

“🍦 Five Stars for a Sunday Sweet Spot!
We dropped by this Cold Stone late Sunday evening, and it was the perfect, low-key end to our family weekend. Since it wasn't crowded, the staff was incredibly patient with my kids as they picked out their favorite mix-ins.
The store was spotless, the service was friendly, and the ice cream was as rich and creamy as ever—nothing beats a fresh waffle bowl when you have the place almost to yourself. It was a great, stress-free treat for the whole crew. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I had the Oreo cookies and cream ice and it was ahhhmazing!!!“

“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!“

“Best Italian ice and gelatos , the kids love them“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I enjoyed spendinding a few hour here on Sunday morning sipping espresso and using complimentary wifi. I was looking for a place like this near Rutgers university. Other options did not have free parking, so this was an easy choice, which I don't regret!“

“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 their custard but they really need to give the customer what they pay for. $5 for a large and they fill it like it's a small. My second issue with this place; consistency is key.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere! We enjoyed listening to the live music tonight as well!“

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!“

“Great, friendly place! Best coffee in area! No known alien abductions, but definitely a possibility!“

“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!“

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“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“
