42 Best Ice Cream Shops near Riverdale

“I just had to stop at Curly's Ice Cream and pick up a yummy vanilla frozen yogurt flurry with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Pieces all mixed in. So good! Always a great stop! #icecream #frozenyogurt“

“This is perhaps the benchmark for a hotdog stand! The food is fantastic, he has everything you want including a delicious chili and onion hot dog sauce! The helpful cool guy who owns it has a great regular following, and I go there quite often, I highly recommend this place, it's inexpensive, clean, the food is great and it's so gratifying to go to a place where the owner cares so much. It's an example of how a business is well run?“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“I’m Soo in love with this place“

“Family Friendly and Delicious!

We were driving through main street during this epic heat wave and spotted Scoops so we swung in for a cool treat! The staff was friendly and welcoming, they had great choices and prices. My 4yo wanted to try lots of flavors and they were super accommodating. The owner Natalie even came out to say hello to my daughter, and my daughter even gave her a hug lol. The soft serve here was exactly how we like, we have stopped at the other place in town and the soft serve was overly creamy. A few places have weird soft serve but this is great. Also our total was much more there than at scoop house!! We have found a new place to stop in when we pass through!

Dietary restrictions: they have gluten free and vegan options!

Kid-friendliness: Our 4yo wanted to try a lot of flavors and they were very helpful and patient.“

“Update: I don’t remember the time or day of previous visit but recently went back, last weekend and it was much better!!
Thank you for your response

Original post: The ice cream is good but service is wildly slow. Took nearly 30 minutes to get a soft serve and only one person ahead of us.. no drama just real slow. Like I thought I was being pranked“

“ricos los helados también él trató al cliente“

“This is not a luxury store, but it has top customer service quality and reasonable prices. We felt very welcomed when first step in the store, staffs patiently awaiting for us to settle down and get familiar with menu, answer questions with smile. It has a lot of options to choose from, flavors, sizes, standardized or bespoke etc.“

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

“Stopped by today my first time and i must say EVERYTHING was amazing the food, ice cream & the service was top notch we had her home made chicken rice soup ,Italian combo and chicken salad sandwich made by Song she took such good care of us through her busy shift and made us feel so welcomed ! Her cakes are unbelievable she is so gifted ?❤️“

“The ice cream is delicious. You can tell that it's store made, and made fresh. Unlike most ice cream shops today that just buy their ice cream, you can tell the freshness in all of their ingredients.

It's especially a great place to go with the kids. They have a fenced-in area where the kids can play on the giant rocking chair or on the basketball court that they have in the fenced in patio.“

“This Place is awesome. I went and asked if they would make a special blizzard my daughter say on TikTok. They said sure. Do you know what’s in it? We looked it up and they made it. They always go above and beyond Thank you for being awesome people.“

“Have had pints before. but the walk up window gave us great options of how to spruce up this incredible ice cream. we will be back.“

“This was the best blizzard I've ever had. All other dairy queens I've been to have made me either wrong blizzards or liquidy blizzards and God forbid they ever flip it as the dairy queen motto says. They brought us the blizzards, flipped it in front of us and they were better tasting than any blizzards I've ever had. The food was fantastic, better than any fast food place I've ever been to. I am astonished by the quality of this place. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that it isn't closer to my house.“

“Baskin-Robbins is really good cuz it has like 31 Flavors and you get free samples for example I want to try rocky road but I didn't know if I was going to like so I said can I please have a sample and they said yeah sure and then they didn't charge me“

“Love that this place is in Lincoln Park, the quality is good and they’re aiming for a cool vibe. BUT it’s a little expensive, it’s too cold inside, smells a little funny, and the front door handle gives an icky feeling because it’s covered in sticky peeling paint.“

“Best chipwiches around! Try them!“

“This is one of my favorite DQs in NJ. It has a cool vibe of a local shop where eating out by your car seems natural, even though NO outdoor seating is available.The service by the girls behind the counter is top notch and they check all the boxes with selection of DQ products. There is a bigger DQ on rt 23, but for me this is the best one in the area.“

“I love Dairy Queen and so does my husband ... we don’t have any around our area so we take the ride“

“Have had pints before. but the walk up window gave us great options of how to spruce up this incredible ice cream. we will be back.“

“Always fast and friendly service! And that chicken sandwich omg....“

“Loved the treats. Peanut butter sauce on their peanut butter sundaes was the right amount(some in the cup before adding the ice cream). The staff were friendly and helpful. Loved it when a little boy walked in and recognized one of the girls at the counter. “You work here?!” The banter that ensued was the best. Thanks for a great treat.“

“Great ice cream wonderful service very clean too“

“Place is very convenient and the Staff is great. It is Constantly under staffed though. The owner should hang in the back less (in between prepping) and take some orders. 25 min line on a Tuesday and you are in the back. Work smarter not harder“

“I stopped here for a new oreo drink that I saw they promoted, will attach the picture, when I ordered the lady that took care of me, (didn't ask her name but she was indian I believe) did a terrible job making my shake, she gave me something that didn't looked like like the flyer at all, I will attach a picture of the shake she made, well I decided to give them a second chance but this time I complained about what happened to me last time and the lady that took care of me this time she was she sweetest,I even asked her name this time, I think it was nickauri, she made sure my shake looked just like the picture in the flyer and it was delicious too.. I already went for the 3rd time and asked for her to make my shake. I will attach photos of how cute it came out. This company needs to make sure their staff knows what they are doing. I just hope they are considering nikauri's effort and kindness.“
