50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ridgewood

“Mr. Moo's Ice Cream Cafe has such a hapoy vibe with many flavors of ice cream and sorbet. If you love coffee, the coffee ice cream is for you. The sweet cream flavor is also really nice. The man there was very nice and friendly and let you try flavors. Also, you get to choose toppings based on how many scoops you get. Any special thing about this place is that you get to mix flavors together. Overall, my family loved this place and will definitely come back. Really recommend to others.“

“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 ❤️❤️“

The flavor was robust and satisfying, capturing the essence of a perfect cup of coffee in a refreshingly cold treat. The service matched the quality of the ice cream—exceptional. The staff was warm and enthusiastic, contributing to an overall outstanding experience. This shop has certainly mastered the art of ice cream and customer care, and I can't wait to return for another scoop of that irresistible coffee flavor.“

“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“

“It is a must-visit. Located in the heart of Nanuet ,this gem serves up an array of delicious flavors that cater to all tastes. The shop boasts a cozy, inviting atmosphere with friendly staff who are always eager to help you find your perfect scoop. Matcha and Ube is the must try ..“

“Ice cream made with true passion and with a pinoy twist.“

“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.“

“First time visiting this ice cream shop! They have very good ice cream. A good place to go for different flavors. We were very excited to know they had ube flavor! We also ordered to go and they offered to hold the ice cream in the freezer so it didn’t melt.
Staff is so friendly and helpful also very nice to talk to.“

No artificial flavors or colorings, and everything is made on location. The articulate care and passion that Chef Jane puts into her craft is well-apparent, each pastry in the shop presents as a piece of art, and a master-piece at that. Check her resume on their website. She is legit.“

“Great Ice Cream & Service“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious.

I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“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.“

Service is fast and seating area is clean. Also has a small outdoor area right up front. Seems to be a popular spot as there is usually a line the times I have gone but the line moves quickly. Highly recommend for a quick scoop or ready made cake“
