50 Best Ice Cream Shops near South River

“Causeway is hands-down our favorite ice cream spot!
They offer an incredible variety of flavors and toppings, so there’s always something new to try. The convenience of the drive-thru is a huge plus, especially on hot days or when you’re in a hurry.

Today, I tried their special Dubai Sundae—and wow, it was unbelievably good! Rich, flavorful, and totally unique. If you’re an ice cream lover, this place is a must-visit.

(Used their social media photo as we ate it too quickly!)“

“Very nice,friendly. Tasty flavors and many choices to choose from.“

“Today was our second time getting take out, ordered two different dishes and both were excellent as were the two we got a week ago. 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.“

“If you ever need a cake I highly recommend! Super accommodating and so talented!“

“could not recommend more. excellent variety of flavors, including vegan / dairy free. Idk how they make it but this is truly the best ice cream I've ever had in my 30 years of life. Sizes are generous and they have been careful with allergies while serving my family.“

“Delicious ice cream and wonderful service!“

“Superior quality ingredients result in an amazing Italian Ice. Couple that with the greatest staff (and owner!) and you’ve got a winner! If you haven’t tried it, get over to Metuchen and experience this amazing ice!“

“Urooj made my first visit to Cold Stone a great one. She explained the different ice cream flavors in detail and helped me choose something I’d really enjoy. You can tell she genuinely cares about making customers happy! her smile is very welcoming and kind ! Cold stone is lucky to have her“

“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!!“

“I have been a customer for a long time and I highly recommend you going to enjoy the experience of all the great choices. They have a great reward program. The woman Carly who works at this place is a hard worker kind and always avail to answer my silly questions. Try it!“

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

“Great service, awesome choices, large portions.“

“100000/10 the only crepe place I will ever go to no matter how far I have to drive!!! Perfect place for ice cream and crepes!! Have tried a few of their crepes and they’re all always so amazing! Ice cream is super creamy and such a good combo with the hot crepe. Also tried their Dubai strawberry cup and honestly it’s one of the best ones I’ve gotten and fairly priced for the cup they give! Everybody else makes it so expensive and such a small cup but this place is reasonably and affordable priced in my opinion. The workers are extremely kind and patient no matter how busy they are!“

“The best in town!! Great staff, great prices. My favorite is the cherry vanilla gelati!!😋🍒“

“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.“

“Yum for the whole family!!! They’ll blow you away with the flavors and large array of selections. Lexie crafted the tastiest most well balanced coke float I’ve had in a long while.👏🙌🙌👏 Be back soon!!“

“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“

“I was happy to discover KOKO LOKO when searching for an alternative to the downtown cafés in New Brunswick. The pistachio latte is delicious- it’s smooth but still flavorful and has crushed pistachios mixed in. And for a good-sized latte with plant milk, the price was affordable. I loved chatting with the barista, too. The place has a laid-back and quiet but still creative vibe, plenty of outlets and plants! It would be great to linger and write or craft there on a cooler day.“

“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!“

“I ordered a #Cinderellacake custom made #perfect for my granddaughter’s’ 1st birthday and the employees are very polite the young lady that took my order was very nice.“

“This place has amazing fro yo and is a very safe place to go during this pandemic. You order online and within minutes they deliver your yogurt to your car, taking proper precautions. They give your toppings and yogurt seperatly so you could mix and match anything!“

“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.“

“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/“

“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!“

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

The service was also amazing, I don't usually tend to leave reviews but this place had nothing but positive vibes, I really recommend everyone to check it out and I will for sure stop by this place again.“

“The ice cream and Italian ice taste the same at this location as every other location, which is good. The problem is the selection. I was just at a Ritas in Pennsylvania and they had at least 8 different soft serve ice cream flavors, including cake batter and pistachio among others. This location always only has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Pistachio is my favorite and I got that when I was in Pennsylvania. I also noticed the other Pennsylvania location had more Italian ice flavors as well.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The brownie barge was amazing! We got the apple pie ice cream with it and it was so good! Can't wait to go back“

“I just wanted to share this amazing and beautiful cake custom made by one of the professional and friendly workers at Carvel in Old Bridge. I wanted this Taylor Swift inspired custom cake for my daughter’s 15th Birthday, and they knocked it out of the park!! Highly recommend this location for all of your custom ice cream cake requests.“

“Went to this Dunkin’ donuts and Baskin Robbin’s establishment late at night and had an amazing experience which made my day. The kindest worker, Atif (or Aatif, i am unsure of the spelling), provided the best service and was so kind to talk to. What a hardworking employee, and wonderful man! Highly recommend!“

“I have called and placed an order a few times this year..every call the people were happy and professional. my orders were always on time and correct!. the Italian ices are exactly from my childhood. I'm really happy this business is still around!. thank you to Mike and everyone else who makes this business what it is!!..“
