“My family and I went to Rita's in Rio Grande this past Sunday for Sundae Sunday Night were all Sundae's were half price. Nearly all of the parking lot was full and there were about 7-8 people ahead of us, but we got to the cashier to place our orders in about 10 minutes. The cashier was very friendly while taking our orders and ringing us up. We each had sundaes and as always, the custard was absolutely delicious. All of the toppings were great as well with the exception of the gummy bears which were pretty rock hard. They were almost the consistency of JuJuBees. We will definitely be back for another round of Sundaes on Sunday in the future.“

“We found this place by happy accident on our way to the ferry. Friendly service and delicious pancakes. Wish we lived closer!“

“Visited Johnny Scoops for ice cream with my sister and little ones yesterday 08/27/25. We were greeted by such an amazing man who had such a happy demeanor and he was so sweet to my little ones. We were able to choose from so many flavors and he had just released new flavors. Everything that we had was very delicious but what made it better was the excellent service that we received throughout the whole transaction. There was a smile on his face the whole time and honestly, not many vendors on the boardwalk are nearly as personable as he is. We 100% will go back there again. I hope that many people come here for their ice cream bc of the great service and ice cream at excellent prices…compared to many other places on the boardwalk. The size of the scoops are big too. Definitely stop by if you’re on the boardwalk bc you will not be disappointed. It definitely feels like a small business and I’m so happy to support that.“

“Portions are huge! Waffle sundae is my favorite Love the staff; everyone is friendly and courteous“

“Prices and choices are really good! 😊“

“speedy, great service with no complaints! ben and jerry’s has a wide variety of flavors posted up on their wall before you come in as a little menu, which are all kosher and any dietary restrictions are clarified under the flavor — where non-dairy is separated under the color geeen and sorbet is separated in pink. the ice cream here is highly delicious and is hard to melt but it still doesn’t feel rock solid when you’re eating. the staff here are very polite and the introductory board for the employees is really cute :) i love the message that ben and jerry’s spreads with classic flavors that we all love!“

“Wonderful family friendly ice cream parlor. Sundaes, milkshakes, cones, soft serve, and my favorite…Root beer float . Inside and outside seating. Highly recommend“

“Thanks for going the extra mile on my order. It was beyond delicious! 😋“

“These are the best things ever!! In the summer you can’t get near the place because it’s so busy. The like is worth the wait! They have mail order and we have ordered three times! The more u order the better the price. This last time we ordered 24! The owner of this store is super nice and treats his employees so good! Def MUST HAVE!!“

“Buddys is Located inside of woodland village. What a super cute little place. Unfortunately we came after the rest of the village closed at 5pm. But buddys is open until 10pm. We were met by a cheerful young lady. Lots of delicious flavors to choose from, in ice cream and sorbet. I had brownie cookie dough and moose tracks. I wanted hot fudge but they only had chocolate syrup. My husband had raspberry sorbet. Both were delicious and reasonably priced! We will be back again when the village is open and for more ice cream. YUM“

“We ordered the Moowich. It was SO good! It's a donut cut in half, they drizzle your choice of topping on one side, a generous scoop of ice cream on the other, squish it together and pop it in some kind of waffle maker looking device to seal the deal. Then they roll the whole thing in sugar. Honestly, they're a little pricy at $10 a piece, considering what it is. But it was a unique treat. The woman at the counter was friendly, we were there in the off season and they weren't busy so we chatted with her for a bit. The atmosphere could have been improved with some music, it felt oddly quiet without any. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place.“

“BEST ICECREAM! I'll choose this place over any other place, glad to see you guys back from over a year. only thing I'm confused about is why no one answers calls, and it would be super cool to have a working live truck tracker in 2024 near cape may area nj :) love the milkshakes sooo much ^_^ keeping 5 stars because I want ya guys to stay“

“Great as always love it here“

“I'm a big fan of boba tea, so I've tried it from several places on the Wildwood boardwalk. In my opinion, theirs has the best taste and is actually served cold unlike a lot of other places on the boards. I asked for a medium and was literally $0.50 short. Most places would have told me not to worry about 50 cents, but it's a business, so I understand.“

“Awesome family owned and operated business“

“When you go to Kohr Brothers you know what you are getting! If you are looking for that good ol' fashion sprinkles on a soft serve this is your place. I mean what is a trip to the beach without an ice cream cone to start or end your day? It's fun. It's family. It's frozen. Need I say more? I can't wait to stop back again soon!“

“Phenomenal dole whip, it may not be for everyone but I highly recommend the 5 mile cake.“

“The new Owners Rob & Kim who took over Salty Paws in Stone Harbor are simply the BEST ! They are extremely friendly, have a sincere love for all animals and are the kindest people you will ever meet ! My PepperGirl enjoys roaming around the store, getting extra love and attention. Our favorite pet treats are the Peanut Butter cannoli’s and of course their doggie ice cream ! If you haven’t visited Salty Paws in Stone Harbor, you must ! You will NOT be disappointed… They also hold Special Events for our 4 legged friends ! You guys rock ! You are definitely PepperGirl Approved !“

“Delicious, organic, most reasonably priced on the island. Definitely my favorite“

“Our family LOVES going to the Hershey's Ice Cream Wildwood shop! They not only serve the BEST ice cream treats but their crepes and funnel cakes are out of this world! They also serve up smiles with a friendly staff! Our children love going there every day! well and night, too! Enjoy!“

“Great homemade ice cream!“

“If you haven't been to this place, the Mister softee music plays on a continual loop. The employees there are true warriors, or suffering from Stockholm syndrome.My friend and I decided to order the easiest things possible. Those employees were holding it together like that music wasn't even playing.Friend accidentally ordered me vanilla instead of chocolate, but I wasn't about to start a fuss at this place, yet despite not being much of a vanilla gal, I quite enjoyed my delicious ice cream cone.“

“Tremendous, never had a bad bowl from this place. Great service too. It’s not a fast food junk hut so you’ll wait a few extra minutes but well worth it.“

“So husband bought a banana flavored one...it was like a banana flavored icee coupled with soft serve vanilla ice cream. I didn't get one at first...mistake. I tried my husband's and my God, I had to turn back and get one for myself. I had the orange flavored icee coupled with vanilla soft serve. It was delicious. I have no regrets.“

“Amazing atmosphere, this ice cream store has framed pictures of customers and celebrities displayed on every wall throughout the store. Adults and kids are featured on there wall of fame next to other celebrities. The vanilla ice cream was the best I’ve ever had. Was a great stop during the Irish Fall Festival.“

“My pup loved her special treat :)“

“amazing ice cream i personally love the peanut butter sundae“

“When I was on the Wildwood Boardwalk I was surprised when I came across something called “Polish Water Ice” I’ve heard of Italian ice but never Polish ice so I decided to give it a try. It is much smoother and almost creamy like it was also sweeter. I would recommend you stop for some Polish Water Ice on a hot day.“

“Delicious gelato! It made me feel as if I were visiting Italy again!“

“Place is immaculately clean, frozen yogurt was delicious and staff was friendly. You can tell the owner cares about the business. Prices are comparable to other ice cream shoppes in the area. My only regret is that after visiting wildwood for years - we didn’t find them sooner !“

“Fresh homemade Açaí drinks, rolled ice cream, bubble cones all the best I’ve had Great customer service! Would recommend everyone to try!!!“

“Pizza is always awesome 😋“

“Love the ice cream cakes! It's all the kids want for their birthdays now!“

“My favorite spot on the boardwalk to get ice cream!! Nothing beats DQ (especially this location!)! Staff is always very friendly, and they all work hard and efficiently to get through the long line that’s always out front! My son had dropped his blizzard, and without even asking, the young girl working kindly offered to make him a new one :) Would 100% recommend to anyone staying in the area who wants some good ole DQ ice cream for a treat!!“

“Great place!! We went on a hot day, they have fans running and even bug spray available (we didn’t need it) Very fun for my 14yo son and i, clean and staff super friendly! The water ice at the end was amazing and refreshing Thank you!“

“Kings is my go-to spot for ice cream in Cape May! This time I tried the Lavender Bliss, Vanilla ice cream infused with lavender, topped with granola and a honey drizzle. It was absolutely sublime! The portion was generous too, so big I couldn’t finish it and ended up sharing with my group. There were seven of us plus a baby, and everyone gave Kings a solid five stars!“

“Food was amazing and service was outstanding... Death by Chocolate Brownie Sundae was out of this world!!“

“Great ice cream! Kids had a blast. On certain days they have a balloon entertainer (free! tips welcomed). Staff super friendly.“

“Phenomenal dole whip, it may not be for everyone but I highly recommend the 5 mile cake.“

“Had the pleasure of coming here with a good friend today. I am a cappuccino snob, this was one of the best I’ve had stateside in a LONG time. The Ricotta jam toast was the perfect combination of sweet (blueberries were just perfect) and creamy. Adorable location with a beautiful view that just cant be beat. Kind staff, quick service too. Great prices for the incredible quality of food and beverage they provide as well. I can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu!“

“excellent food we had 2 chicken pizza steaks and fries delivered they were delicious and the delivery guy was very polite definitely ordering again so worth it“
