“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at SOMA Sweets, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience!

From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. The space itself is charming and perfect for a kids’ celebration - bright, fun, and full of sweet details that made the day feel extra special.

What truly stood out, though, was the owner and her team. Their kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. They went above and beyond to make sure every child felt included and had a great time. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

The activities were engaging and age-appropriate, keeping a group of excited 10-year-olds happily entertained (no small feat!). And of course, the sweets and ice cream were absolutely delicious - beautifully made and a huge hit with both kids and adults.

SOMA Sweets made everything feel easy and seamless. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the celebration alongside my daughter, which is the greatest gift.

If you’re looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized place to host a birthday party, I wholeheartedly recommend SOMA Sweets. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you, Monica and team, for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable!“

“Great place! I stopped by for some ice cream and had a really good experience. The girl at the register was very polite, friendly, and helped me choose — she suggested some flavors and made the decision much easier.

The ice cream itself was delicious, you can really taste the quality and freshness. There’s a wide variety of flavors and good portion sizes.

I’ll definitely come back again and highly recommend this place 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“The take out process is brilliant. Nothing better than a couple of quarts of McCools ice cream to have on hand! Order online and pick up at the curb.“

“Great ice cream and soup!“

“I came here because I love the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream brand that you buy at the store so I decided to come here they have a wide variety of flavors and I got the strawberry since that’s my favorite Haagen Dazs flavor the ice cream tasted good but it was really hard and did not taste as good as the pint it was still really good but it’s expensive so I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here“

“The ice cream here is excellent! The boba however needs some improvement. I’ve had it a few times months apart thinking it would be different, but unfortunately that hasn’t been the case. The tapioca isn’t soft enough meaning it’s not chewy throughout, so it has a bit of a bite to it. Also, the boba is always mostly ice.“

“Amazing drinks and sweet treats!!! Also they have incredible customer service!!!“

“Swirl is still my favorite but cakes did look amazing“

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

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“I have not physically been to their store, but have watched their TikToks and live stream.( J did an absolutely stunning job with the cakes she was making today. She did happy birthday cakes, to streamers, to a gory unicorn cake that represented a Halloween theme. She is very fast handed and very detail oriented when it comes to making those cakes come to life! She also went over how she makes roses on cakes as well which as her least favorite part, was my favorite part. It was pretty fascinating and captivating learning more about the art of cakes! We also were able to see her role from cake making, to her customer service abilities. In my opinion she was pretty kickass! She is very spunky and very funny. Mike has cultivated a very positive workplace where they have fun with the job, which is what it should be about. My strongest advise is don’t knock it till you try it for yourself! Don’t listen to others opinions until you have witnessed them, their cakes, and other goodies for yourself. Not everything online is what is seems! Go check them out!(:“

“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.“

“The best ice cream in the area. I would place some chairs and some sort of umbrella in the front or a bench simple, so people can seat, that could add a better atmosphere to the business. But the food is incredible delicious.

Vegetarian options: Vegan

Dietary restrictions: All vegan and ? plant based.

Kid-friendliness: Small portions.“

“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 price, nice size, clean & friendly.“

“This place has amazing Protein Shakes, delicious/healthy food, and healthy fast working Energy drinks. From The Food to The Drinks she makes everything from scratch, all the ingredients she uses is vegan base and nothing harmful towards the body“

“Humble establishment... she made my kids feel so welcomed... can't wait to go back... please visit 💛“

“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.“

“Hands down probably the best ice scream I've tried in New Jersey. I was visiting from New York with a group of friends and we found this place on a whim just driving by and decided to check it out. I got the Honey Lavender ice cream, which was to die for. HIGHLY recommend!!“

“Very tasty treats and is very good priced the only thing is the waffle bowl price is on the waffle cone spot which to be fair it did say “waffle bowl” which I did not see but the price tag should be moved. But besides that it is a great place“
