21 Best Ice Cream Shops near Skillman

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“The portions are great and atmosphere is relaxed!“

“We had 3 sets of 3 scoops. 3 different people with 3 very different tastes in ice cream. 9 different flavors. They were all wonderful and exciting. This is not your ordinary ice cream shop but please do not let that deter you from trying them out. Just expect to be a bit adventurous and go for it. They are a small batch artisan style shop with many unique flavors to try. We also grabbed 4 pints of other flavors to take home and try. The owner was awesome, explained all of the flavors and offered samples. The inside was very cute with a good amount of seating for an ice cream shop. Please go and try them out because this is the type of place that would be truly missed by anyone that has visited.“

“Hot chocolate reminds me of Paris, just twice the size as Americans are used to....but amazing and rich. Toasted marshmallows are totally worth the cost so definitely get them if hot chocolate is your order. Most of the ice creams are great though I found the dark chocolate to be far less worthwhile than other flavors.

“I’ve never been much of a sweets person at all, but I’ve been hearing so many good things about this place, the whole town has been raving about it. Today I decided to stop in and I couldn’t control myself everything looked so delicious, the Cinnabons, cookies, and cupcakes are so fresh and tasty. Pretty busy business, which is a good sign, the staff was so friendly, Lilly helped me out & the owner Joanne is amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back & try more delicious baked goods :)“

“Honestly one of yummiest ice creams I have had in a long time ! I had the Belgian chocolate and being a discerning choc lover I was surprised at how much this exceeded my expectations. I liked the texture of the ice cream and it was just enough chocolate for my sweet tooth . Best part was the very friendly service . Sachin was very kind and warm. Always nice to get service with a warm smile . Keep it up ! I will definitely be back on my next visit to New Jersey“

“Great family shop; clean, friendly, my grandkids love it. Good quality ice cream in a lot of flavors and they make custom ice cream cakes too.“

“Great local spot for fresh ice cream and chocolates. They have a variety of interesting flavors to choose from- I’d most highly recommend Ed’s Special, which features chocolate covered pretzels with a pb & fudge swirl. Service is friendly and timely. Definitely stop by sometime if you’re in the area!“

“Went recently during a cooler evening and only 2 other people there. Excited to see an ice cream place with orange and cream soft serve. Got to taste their black raspberry hard ice cream and it was creamy and delicious.

The orange and cream soft serve was good but not the best I've had. The orange was more like a sorbet and tangy which I thought would have balanced nicely with the vanilla but it was too watery in comparison. It was icy while the vanilla was soft and creamy. The tang from the orange was pretty overpowering.

I think I'd opt for the hard ice cream next time instead. Some other reviewers mentioned being asked for a tip but that didn't happen to me when i was being served by an older lady.“

“The mini cookies are definitely my favorite.

Kid-friendliness: I recently ordered a 12 pack of mini cookies and they were perfect for my little sisters. It’s the right amount for them and they also get to try more then one flavor.“

“I recently ordered 2 birthday cakes from here. Our go to ice cream shop where we religiously bought cakes from recently switched hands. We definitely found our new spot here at the Thee Ice Cream Parlor for ice cream birthday cakes. They were ready promptly for pick up on Father's Day when they opened with a long line and one employee working. Not only that but also dietary restrictions of no dairy for the one cake were followed so the birthday girl could enjoy her cake as well! Thank you, I highly recommend and we will be ordering more cakes in the future!“

“Great pastry and wonderful black tea. The person behind the counter was very hospitable and friendly. I definitely recommend the cream puffs.“

“After many friends telling how good AMA is I decided to grab a pie and meatball parm sub to give them a go. My words will not give their food justice but it is delicious. Napoletan done the right way. Not to mention the owner is beyond good people. Greeted me outside while I was waiting for them to open and then offered me an espresso while my food was being prepared. We will most certainly be back.“

“I always default to Carvel because it’s so yummy and they write my name on my cake! I definitely recommend! People there are so nice, and they have a wide variety of cakes and ice cream!

Kid-friendliness: Its very warm and welcoming for all ages, including children!“

“love the bubble tea and general atmosphere“

“First time going to this location since it just opened up. I went with my family in the afternoon. The lady who worked there/assisted us was extremely helpful and super nice. It was a pleasant experience. We all got vanilla & chocolate custard in a waffle cone. So yummy!! Will definitely be coming back to this location.“

“I have had several frozen yogurt flavors. They were all delicious. On occasion, I order a smoothie which also is terrific. The staff at Fruity Yogurt are friendly, courteous, and professional. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and the store is always meticulously clean. A great place to go in Princeton.“

“I arrived after 9:00pm on a Tuesday night and we live like 1 mile away and have been coming to this Rita's for years. The staff is always amazing, but tonight I was served by Abby (Abbie?), who after the transaction was completed asked "what is your name? It was very thoughtful coming from a young girl. She was so sweet. I wanted someone to know. We will continue to come back for the wonderful ice and custard.“

“DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS EVENT WAS 11/23/2022, but for some reason review wouldn’t post. And I can only choose does recommend…. But I do not Had a LAUGHABLE experience here this morning, over a misunderstanding about time. I came an about 9:20am to pick up a cake I ordered over the phone about two days ago. I thought she said 9am - 1pm. Clearly not because as I poked my head in I was greeted with extremely agitated aggressive woman who bombard with “why are you here?” Repeatedly. As I tried to explain why I was there. She continued to say she was busy. And in the middle of doing 75 order, she would have never told me to come this early and, why was I there over again. Yes, to a paying customer. When I didn’t even enter the store. I poked my head in. She could have said the pick up times to me again and to please come back later. Since it is too early for pick up. I would have gladly walk out the door and came back at the correct time. Needless to say the owner of this business is a horrendous woman. I will never use this business again and I will encourage everyone I know , to do the same.“

“Great, friendly place! Best coffee in area! No known alien abductions, but definitely a possibility!“
