They "get it" when it comes to balanced flavor, variety of veggies and even the way they cut them with a special slicer was perfect. Truly Thai is now our go-to Thai food destination. I hope it doesn't change and they keep up this quality.“

“Hello everyone, this is a little hidden gem and it’s called CAUSEWAY ICE CREAM the best. I’ve tried different ice cream parlors already and the season hasn’t started. I tell you I keep coming back to this ice cream parlor the sizes are great. The prices are good. The service is excellent. It’s clean. It’s well worth the trip. It’s a little hidden gem you would never know they were there because it looks like it’s on a dead end street with industrial around it take a trip there you won’t be sorry. I come all away from Monroe Township to South River with the gas prices the traffic I still go it’s worth it and I can’t wait until it’s time to open. I tried as early as 11 o’clock in the morning but I guess that’s too early but take a trip I give it over five star reading that’s how good they are. Have a great day.“

“Great items !!! Such a huge selection and so good !!“

“I visited Icy Melon in Edison for the first time a few weeks ago, and it was a pleasant surprise. The environment is quiet and low key, which makes it easy to relax but the seating could definitely use an upgrade. It’s not the coziest spot to linger, but the food more than makes up for it.

I had one of their signature crepes, and my friend tried the matcha crepe cake. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

We didn’t wait long for our order, which was a nice bonus. You can tell they put care into both flavor and aesthetics in their food.

While the vibe is more functional than cozy, Icy Melon is perfect for a quick dessert run or a casual catch up with friends. If you’re craving something sweet and photogenic, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Ask for the pumpkin latte ice cream . Not on the menu but available til late fall Sooo good!“

“great service, always. yum“

“pumkin, Key Lime Pie & Peach are my favs.“

“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“

“Great place, with a great variety! My dad is allergic to dairy, and they had a few options for him. I loved that the staff was so accommodating and still tasted amazing.

“Good ice cream. Friendly service. What’s not to like.“

“Saffron in Piscataway offers an exceptional Indian dining experience, blending authentic flavors with an elegant ambiance. The diverse menu, welcoming staff, and beautifully crafted dishes make it a must-visit for food lovers!“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“This ice is great! And the family service is amazing! Thanks for your help in getting me started with my cart.“

“Best homemade ice cream ever! I had the coffee flavor and was not disappointed 🤤“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“Excellent contribution to my backyard party!!!“

“Ralph’s Ices is hands-down one of my favorite spots when the weather warms up. Every visit is a hit, and their flavor selection is wild—in the best way possible. My usual order? Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. It’s the perfect combo of rich, chocolatey goodness and sweet, nutty comfort. The texture is always smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Even when there’s a line, the service is fast and friendly. The vibe is chill, nostalgic, and feels like a proper summer tradition. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular like me, Ralph’s never lets you down.

If you’re looking for a frozen treat that actually lives up to the hype, this is it.

Helwa Approved ✅“

“Updating my review based on the owner’s response. While our first visit on a Sunday morning was disappointing due to being overlooked while staff focused on prep, the management response was prompt, direct, and genuinely accountable. They acknowledged the mistake, explained the situation, and took full responsibility without making excuses. It’s clear they take hospitality and feedback seriously and want to make things right. We’re willing to give them another try based on how professionally this was handled.“

“Undeniably the finest ice cream in the entire state. Their vanilla soft serve is on another level, richer, smoother, and more flavorful than anything I’ve ever had. It’s clear why this place has been a beloved landmark since 1981. The secret? A product that speaks for itself, simply unmatched in quality.“
