36 Best Ice Cream Shops near South Brunswick

“🍦 Five Stars for a Sunday Sweet Spot!
We dropped by this Cold Stone late Sunday evening, and it was the perfect, low-key end to our family weekend. Since it wasn't crowded, the staff was incredibly patient with my kids as they picked out their favorite mix-ins.
The store was spotless, the service was friendly, and the ice cream was as rich and creamy as ever—nothing beats a fresh waffle bowl when you have the place almost to yourself. It was a great, stress-free treat for the whole crew. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Long line, worth the wait. Friendly servers despite the onslaught of customers!“

“Love that Olivia's has so many glowing reviews, because she deserves them! It's true - this is the best ice cream I've ever enjoyed. And not just the ice cream, but the chocolate sprinkles are top quality.
You never thought about cheap v. quality chocolate sprinkles before, have you? And right now, I bet you're greatly underestimating how much of an impact can good sprinkles really make to a cone? All the difference, my friend. Like comparing a lightening bug to a lightening bolt.
We are creatures of habit, and haven't ventured beyond the vanilla, or my favorite, the vanilla-chocolate swirl, soft serve with sprinkles, but man oh man, when it's this good, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. That said, after reading these reviews, I am very eager to expand my horizons! The chocolate is superb, you can taste it is distinct from the vanilla, unlike many other soft serve cones, let's be honest.
All this would not be as sweet, however, if the woman who works there wasn't the a lovely, down to earth person, but she truly is.
And clean! This place is immaculate! Peek inside, you'll see what I mean. Just top notch all around. I'm such an Olivia's fan!“

“Me and my neighbor decided to try Crispý Cones in Conroe, TX and it was really good!! The staff was friendly, especially Taylor who gave us the whole run down of the menu. Definitely will go back again. I want to try the hot cones now!!!“

“The most flavorful hard ice cream! The Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle? ::chef's kiss:: We mixed it with the cappuccino (great coffee flavor!) and my non-sweet-eating husband ate his half. The kids had a handful of very colorful chocolate dipped waffle cones to choose from and enjoyed their delicious colorbomb on the bench outside. They got the crazy vanilla (because rainbows are fun to eat!) and it was not only pretty but also had a really nice vanilla flavor. We'll definitely be going out of our way for this stop again! Also, special thanks to the counter staff for being extra patient with us.“

“Excellent ice cream, best quality“

“ice cream cake is so good here“

“The Gelatis are the best! Usually there’s a wide variety of ice flavors, lemon being my favorite!👍“

“One of the best places for dessert. Great people, great ices, great service“

“I had the Oreo cookies and cream ice and it was ahhhmazing!!!“

“Ice cream - both hard & soft-serve, ice pops, and other frozen treats with all the trimmings and toppings. They also have an eclectic mix of candies and toys, plus a few trinkets and gift items. Prices are comparably reasonable. Located right on Hamilton Street with plenty of on site parking. The service is outside (thru windows), so they're not always open on the colder days. But it's a great place to hang out on one of the benches when the sun is warm. It feels good supporting local business, too.“

“The ice and gelato are terrific“

“Love love love love love love this place and their customer service wouldn't get ice cream anywhere else. Super family orientated.

Latest creation
Eclair mixed with cookies and cream and hot fudge topped with cinnamon churro topped with cones crushed and cookie crumbles“

“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.“

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

“Went to get my husband's birthday cake last minute, they we're so nice and understanding and didn't complain about the rush. They even put a note on the cake for me and also was able to get a number candle too! The woman on register was really knowledgeable about the selections and exactly where to find what I needed!! Thanks Carvel,!!“

“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.
cash only so make sure to bring cash! Had places to sit and Parking“

“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.“

“I highly recommend this store location. Keith was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with my order. I had it sent as a gift and it was a big hit!“

“love the bubble tea and general atmosphere“

“Un yogurt delicioso 😋Con mucha fruta y lo que quieras ponerle pues lo preparas a tu gusto me encanta ir a ese lugar“

“The best ice cream ever! Try a blend-in— my go to is vanilla with Butterfinger! They have a ton of different flavors and toppings. They even have dairy free if you are allergic like my son is!“

“I enjoyed spendinding a few hour here on Sunday morning sipping espresso and using complimentary wifi. I was looking for a place like this near Rutgers university. Other options did not have free parking, so this was an easy choice, which I don't regret!“

“Visited Kwality Ice Cream and had a really great experience! The Badshahi Kulfi Falooda was the standout — rich, creamy, refreshing, and full of authentic flavors. The pani puri was also super tasty with crispy puris and a perfect spicy-tangy pani. The paan was fresh and made for a nice finish.

Special mention to Madhuram, the owner, for the warm hospitality and friendly service that made the visit even better.

Tip: ask them to mix Pudina and Khata Meetha pani with a little black salt — it takes the taste to another level! Also, if you prefer better flavor, request room temperature pani instead of very cold :)

Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic Indian desserts and street food!“

“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.“

“Love their custard but they really need to give the customer what they pay for. $5 for a large and they fill it like it's a small. My second issue with this place; consistency is key.“

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!“

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

“Yummy ice cream, the best ice cream cakes, and good crunchies!“

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“LOVE THIS PLACE!! The owner is so so kind. Two friends and I were running late one night, and we called to see if they could stay open for an extra few minutes. The owner responded with great kindness and kept the store open. Fruity Yogurt is also one of the only places open late in Princeton. The owner even offered us free frozen yogurt. She said to pour as much as we wanted after we had paid. So kind!! Also very funny and personable. She also told us that all of their flavors are natural, and you can tell from the color and taste! I highly recommend!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“Literally the only ice cream place we eat 🍦 My kids absolutely love it, and as a mom of a child with a peanut allergy, I was beyond grateful that one of the workers went above and beyond by thoroughly washing the scooper to avoid any potential peanut remnants. That level of care truly means everything. My personal favorite flavors are Amaretto and Toasted Almond — both AMAZING. Thank you for the delicious ice cream and the kindness“

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

“A store that’s literally, THE center of attraction in the North Brunswick Shoppes Boulevard.

This compact ice cream place has a good collection of ice cream flavors and a modest seating space with limited chairs and couple of tables.

The staff are friendly and they also sell celebration cakes. The reason I’m giving this place a star less is because I didn’t find the cream of couple of flavors sweet enough. I tried Pecan butter and Rum and Raisin and wished they hit a sweet spot but they didn’t.

The parking is spacious as it’s attached to the shopping center.“
