“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

Over all , great place for sweets and hours are perfect for late evening snack.“

“I've been coming to this location for about a year and some change, and everytime I come here the staff is so cool. Today I came by and a new hire rung me up- who was pretty cool, by the way. She took my order and she made sure the details were right down to the letter, then got started. This location is my favourite only because everyone here is so cool. \m/“

“I finally got the chance to try Crumbl Cookies and I’m so glad I was able to try the lineup for this week. The cookies were delicious, Kentucky butter cake and sticky bun were my favorite. The pink velvet and Banana upside down cake were tasty as well. The staff was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order even ordering ahead. One of selections ended up being sold out and the workers decided to give me a free cookie. I’ll definitely be back, I can’t wait for next’s week lineup.“

“I love this place, the variety of flavors, the staff is so friendly and the prices are just right. I highly recommend this place if you love ice cream, shakes, or ice cream cakes this is the place to get them. AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++
Keep up the good work.“

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“I used to come here with my little girl. She’d consistently get a vanilla cone with cherry dip. That was her favorite. She’d always let me have a bite (in exchange for a bite of whatever I had, of course).

I love you Lilly“

“This place is just amazing! There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different. Everything we got was delicious- we all tried each other's dishes. There's a little bit of everything to satisfy even the pickiest eater. I would just drive her (over a 2 hour drive for me) just to come eat here. I need this place closer to home, lol.“

“It's the bomb....great flavors and service...yeahhh“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“Great people inside the counter with great service Thank you“

“Been there couple of times already. Love the small-town cash-only hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cash-only could be inconvenience for some, but once you know the game, you’ll be ready with cash next time! Love both soft serve and hard ice creams. Friendly staff too.“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“Great ice cream, even while waiting on line there’s a great vibe. By the way, I had the cherry vanilla!“

“There were 4 vegan flavors when I went (watermelon sorbet, mango sorbet, oatly vanilla, and oatly latte). I enjoyed all of them. For toppings, I got wet walnuts, which were very delicious, and oreo pieces. There used to be vegan cookie dough bites that I really enjoyed, but I didn't see them this time (there were cookie dough bites, but not labeled as vegan). I would like some more vegan flavors and toppings to make this place even better.“

“Love this place!!! I come here all the time! I also wanted to give a big shoutout to the young hispanic man who served me. He gave me the best butter pecan ice cream ever and was very nice and friendly from start until checkout. My mother was very happy when he started speaking in Spanish to her. To say the least, I will be returning often ?“

“Went here this afternoon and the gentleman at the window was so nice, patient and accommodating. He even has dog biscuits at the window for your pup! I don’t have a dog but I appreciate the gesture. I’m thinking he might be the owner but I’m not sure. Definitely 10/10 Will return!“

“Amazing place, great Ice Cream, and lovely service, I highly suggest this place if you live in or near MapleWood! I can’t wait to come back here and try there Sundaes, oh, and if the owner of this place reads this, may God bless you and keep you, your Ice Cream is amazing! And big shout out to the very knowledgeable lady who helped me make my experience here great!

Kid-friendliness: For all kids and parents alike“

“Rita has always been my favorite spot to eat frozen custards and ice creams, but recently, I discovered this Rita here in Berkeley Heights, and it is such a good spot. There is plenty of parking right in front of it so that you sit in a car and enjoy it. Service is quick and efficient, and ice creams are amazing as always.“

“So my family ordered sundaes. We didn't realize how generous the portions were. The quality of the ingredients was very good. We took home what we couldn't finish. The young lady that took care of us was very quick and efficient. She definitely needs a raise.“
