“The most amazing experience ever. Can’t say enough. Both Mary and Philip are the sweetest and were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I had a Valentine’s event on feb15th which needed to be rescheduled to the 22nd and I canceled the order last minute for 30 boxes of chocolate covered strawberries. They didn’t charge me a single cent. I got the same order for the following week and they did an absolutely amazing job. The BEST CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES EVER!!!! I highly recommend them and they have loyal customer for life ❤️❤️“

“You know, I’m not the biggest fan of ice cream, but man, when I came into this Häagen-Dazs I was completely blown away. Particularly with this one worker Joselyn, as she showed me how to think about ice cream in a different way. She taught me that maybe if I tried mixing the flavors, or trying them with different toppings, I’d love the ice cream. And by god, I did! I’ll never be more thankful than for that worker Joselyn, she’ll teach you a thing or two about how to appreciate ice cream in a new way.“

“I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when upon entering this establishment. I haven't really had good experiences with trying new icecream places. But not only was this locations Dairy Queen clean the icecream was beyond my expectations 😋👍 I will post 2 pictures that I took while at the store. I ate a simple vanilla cone with Rainbow 🌈 sprinkles. My best friend and I loved it! We will definitely be back. Thank you for our great experience 👍“

“We stopped in to try this place out. The person working was very nice and friendly. He helped guide us a little. I really enjoyed my banana smoothie and my daughters got a strawberry slushy style drink that they keep asking for. We will return for sure. Place was spacious and clean!“

“I e cream is great, nice building and atmosphere, rude pretentious staff. I came with a 2 year old, she needed a diaper change, they told me the restrooms were closed to customers and only for staff. I got my little girl her ice cream and a guy who appeared to be a manager told us to get out because they dont allow indoor seating. it's a shame because the ice cream is great and it's a great location“

“This coffee place is lovely. They have the most delicious apple cider donuts not to mention they also have vegan yummy cookies. The Colombian lady is very nice. They also have a fireplace and good wifi. Nice place for a date or just to have a good time with friends.

Vegetarian options: Vegan cookies“

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

“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….“

“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.“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“Hi 👋 This is the best Italian Ice you will find anywhere, and the NICEST family owned! XOX“

“A++ Blueberry always steps up to support their community! Not to mention their delicious treats! Many thanks for your support of Suffern Soccer!“

“Awesome place! Went here for a scoop with a couple coworkers after a hard day at work. I really appreciated their prices, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal. The kiddie scoop was three bucks, whether you got hard scoop or soft serve. I got coffee hard scoop. Most places have a surcharge for hard scoop, but this place doesn’t. I appreciate that kind of honest pricing. There are tables to sit at that are shaded and service was good. Coworker got their version of a blizzard and said it was really good. This place keeps it simple and does ice cream well.“

“Malibu with cherry Italian Ice. May I saw the service is above & Beyond. Fast and very respected. Makes the customer feel good and its a guarantee of coming back with the entire family and share with others. Lots of different choices and there are little tables to eat outside the ice cream shop. I will say a family in front of me: the mama dropped her ice cream by mistake while carrying the others for her children and they literally gave her a brand new one with no charge! Other places they will charge 😆 but not Ralph's so go check them out this summer you wont regret it. 😉“

“Have a chat with Santa he is a treat ! 🥰“

“I absolutely love coming to this location.
Tricia, Crystal, and Jackie are ALWAYS hospitable and respectful every time I dine in with Friendly’s!
Tricia and Chrystal always greet me with a HUGE SMILE and are always SO SWEET to me- BRAVO!

“The absolute best ices and a great selection of water based and cream based ices.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Every detail from the warm welcome at the door to the unforgettable flavors shows passion and authenticity. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels both like home and a luxury treat at the same time. I love their coffee and I always try different desserts every single one has turned out delicious, especially after asking the lovely owner for recommendations! ❤️ You won’t just taste the difference here, you’ll feel it. A must visit spot that raises the bar for everyone else in the area!“

“Las hamburguesas 👍🏼 estaban riquísimos y las papas con tocino“

“I love the place. My son love the ice cream and the girls are very friendly“

“Great workers there tonight. It was very busy and they handled the rush very well! The two workers scheduled between 6:30 and 6:50 ,which was about the time frame we were there, worked really hard and did their best to handle the rush. Wanted to make sure to leave a review and ensure they get recognized. Sunday 4/6/2025“

“My four year old was adamant that he wanted a rocket ship ice cream cake for his birthday. I called a 11 ice cream cake shops in the area only to be told that it was impossible without the right mold. One place even asked me to order a mold for them and they would see if they could make the cake but wanted to charge double for the effort. I randomly found this Carvel in Hackensack and after explaining what I wanted, one of the staff members brainstormed ways to make the cake come to life. I sent them a picture and out came the best rocket ship ice cream cake that anyone had ever eaten! The cake looked beautiful, tasted delicious and most importantly, my child was super happy. I will always place cake orders with you guys!“

“We get all our birthday cakes here for years now. They have hard and soft serve. Also not just Vanilla or chocolate soft serve either. Today they had pistachio and another flavor.

Custom cakes as well as the regulars like fudgy the whale ready to go. Also UFOs and dipped cones.

Highly recommend.“

“Friendliest parlor around! Good prices, benches outside to sit and enjoy your ice cream.“

“The ice cream is great my great the place is clean but some of the prices are to high. Also I Think they should serve food like other Dairy Queen’s. The workers are very friendly and fast“
