Have ordered a bunch of ice cream cakes for birthdays after having one at a daughter’s friends bday. They have all been delicious! After 36 years of Carvel cakes, we have officially made the switch.
Reasonably priced cakes and haven’t had any issues.
One nitpick: They definitely need to figure out how to write better on the cakes, but there are high school students working there, I blame the curriculum not teaching script for years. So if you are particular about that…just get the cake with no writing. :-)

My last 3 visits: coconut almond chip and pumpkin, butter pecan and banana chunk, Devil Dog and apple pie. Great homemade ice cream never disappoints. Awesome friendly local spot in Rutherford.

Scouting for the Golden Cone App based upon a lot of recommendations. Cash only. Parking is on the street. Had the home-made coconut almond. Took a while to get the melt factor going, but once that kicked in the flavor hot a new level. Something in every spoonful. Excellent ice cream. Would go back.

I’ve been here a bunch of times through the years and overall it’s a costly event each time for just ok ice cream.
Last week while the girl was putting the ice cream in the container my wife noticed a hair. She agreed and threw it out and started over again.
A week later we gave them another chance and this time two hairs. Seemingly only in the almond coconut ice cream. Just like the week before. Only thing was this time we were back at home trying to enjoy it. Short lived. We called them and whoever answered could only say that they would tell the girls. Not even an apology or offer to make it right. Hence the review and a warning for you that you might get things in your ice cream that you don’t want and no one cares to make it right. But make sure you bring cash. Well, I’ll keep my cash and move on.
Enjoy your hairs with some ice cream. Ugh

If you have a seasonal ice cream flovor like pumpkin and it is not there every day in September and October, your doing it wrong.
They ARE doing it wrong.

Ice Cream Charlie’s is the best homemade ice cream. I have ever had. Thank you to the owner for opening this ice cream parlor. And the ice cream’s are amazingly delicious.
Kid-friendliness: It’s a very nice and homing place to get ice cream with your family.

Went here on the way back from Metlife. One of the employees seemed so bothered by my group. They were open til 1030, we got there at 10pm so not sure why they were trying to rush us out. Half of the kids were sitting and eating their ice creams while the rest of us were still ordering and the employee asked the kids to get up so she could clean the tables and put the chair up. I had to ask if they could sit while we were still ordering otherwise they were gonna be a group of kids standing struggling to eat their ice cream. (Obviously planned to leave once everyone got their ice creams) the worker had to add toppings to my sons ice cream and the rude worker went over to her and made some comment. The whole environment was rude, and unwelcoming. Disappointed considering the other reviews

So, I went into Ice Cream Charlie’s years ago and for whatever reason I never went back, (keep reading I promise this is a positive review), & Mike's Ice Cream in Secaucus closing was basically the end of an era for my ice cream addiction. When I was pregnant I was there at LEAST four times a week, no wonder I gained so much weight ?. AND that craving never went away after I gave birth. It could be 10am or 3am or any time in between and I’d be craving an Oreo ice cream from Mikes. I always stocked up on their pints to make sure I had it easily available. Sadly when they closed my craving was still here, I ran out of pints, and I had to find a place to fill that void in my stomach & heart. I went through an ice cream identity crisis—Carvel, Dairy Queen, Cake & Cone, Ben & Jerry's... it was like a bad blind date after another. Nothing quite hit the spot like Mike's Oreo goodness.
But then, like a dairy-filled miracle, I rediscovered Ice Cream Charlie's, (still unsure as to why I never went back in the first place) and it was like reuniting with an old friend who never judged my late-night cravings. And to find out they're in cahoots with Mike's? The owner of this place and Mike were really close friends. It's like ice cream conspiracy theory, but tastier! Now I’m back in the game, stocked up on a pint and ready to conquer those cravings like a true dessert warrior. The chocolate peanut butter also got a huge thumbs up from my friend. I can’t wait to add this place to my weekly routine. Who knew ice cream could have such a plot twist?
Only downside is it’s Cash only, but that just means have your cash ready. ??
