50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Stone Harbor

“Pretty awesome spot. Would recommend!“

“We had the most amazing experience here tonight. The quick story is the soft serve dipped in chocolate was delicious. The longer version is our daughter has Celiac’s Disease and when we asked if they could do hers gluten free, Annalise was amazing and took it very seriously. She was actually training a new employee and used the opportunity to go through the process step by step with him. She honestly reminded me of the people they discover on the show Undercover Boss. It was obvious not only how much she cared about ensuring our daughter had a safe experience, but also to properly train her employee, and overall just the pride she had in her work. She was amazing and we will definitely return.“

“The new Owners Rob & Kim who took over Salty Paws in Stone Harbor are simply the BEST ! They are extremely friendly, have a sincere love for all animals and are the kindest people you will ever meet ! My PepperGirl enjoys roaming around the store, getting extra love and attention. Our favorite pet treats are the Peanut Butter cannoli’s and of course their doggie ice cream ! If you haven’t visited Salty Paws in Stone Harbor, you must ! You will NOT be disappointed… They also hold Special Events for our 4 legged friends ! You guys rock ! You are definitely PepperGirl Approved !“

“Always fast and friendly service and the ice cream is delicious“

“Phenomenal dole whip, it may not be for everyone but I highly recommend the 5 mile cake.“

“Been going here since they opened and we make it a point to stop every year. Owners are amazing people, food, ice cream and treats are delicious! Keep up the great work, we love everything about this place!“

“I spend some time in Wildwood every year for a family vacation and we always look for new places to try. We had ice cream the other night, along with some milkshakes, and everything was fantastic (especially the chocolate milkshakes). We decided to go back the next morning for breakfast and once again, everything was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the food was great and we can’t wait to go back again. You can’t ask for much more! It’s definitely on the list of places I’ll have to visit every time I vacation here.“

“We mostly go for the ice cream!! Large portions And lots of toppings, friendly staff And most of all yummy“

“Where do I start … at the beginning … Mr softee has always held a special place in my heart since childhood memories recall the days when my friends and I would get so excited to hear music coming from the truck as it made its way down our street … to my visit tonight at the brick and mortar location in CMCH NJ. This location is clean on the inside and has a drive thru.

The other thing I love is that while I enjoy soft serve I also enjoy hard ice cream and this location offers both. Although their hard ice cream flavor offering is limited but covers your basic chocolate strawberry vanilla along with a couple of other flavors.

Tonight we wanted milkshakes and they were delicious!

But what really stood out was the young boy who served me at the drive thru window. His customer service was EXEMPLARY. He was articulate, helpful, patient and sociable. I hope his parents see this review so that they know that they are knocking the parenting thing out of the park!

My only regret is that I didn’t get his name!

We will certainly return and hope that the “boss” gives that boy a generous bonus or raise.

Ps I always beep and wave at your Mr softee mascot when I see them on Main Street.“

“It's very small but nice icecream shop
Just the one lady been there lat least ,10 times one lady she's always the the same she don't seem happy to be there at all not very friendly rushes to do things other then that is good but it makes the experience not so happy“

“The coconut and egg nog ice cream and rain sherbet were excellent. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, management failed to provide adequate signage that table service began at 7 pm. Our visit was at 430 pm and we were disappointed by this. I advise the management to improve their signage and online information.“

“Portions are huge! Waffle sundae is my favorite Love the staff; everyone is friendly and courteous“

“Highly recommend Cone Crazy for customized ice cream cakes! I needed a Beach themed cake for my cousin’s 50th birthday and they were so easy to work with. The owner Steve provided his cell# for easier communication which I really appreciated. Not only was the ice cream cake absolutely delicious, they did an amazing job with the design. My cousin was so thrilled to have a beach themed cake with her favorite ice cream flavors for her milestone birthday! If you are local to the area or visiting Wildwood ( like us) do not miss out and try their ice cream. It’s amazing!! Thank you so much Steve and staff!!! The cake was a HUGE Hit!!“

“truly outstanding. as a lactose (very) intolerant person, i just cant resist☺️☺️☺️!! got my tonsils out and this healed it in a jiffy!! this place jumpin every night since it is the hottest ice cream place in avalon ( un ironicly 😙) toppings galore and extraordinarily amazing customer service. as a 64 year old local myself i watched this place grow in popularity from the ground up!! they make the line go speedy quick despite business. overall 9.37393974747383/10 and its pretty splendid. until next time!!!!🥲🥲🥲“

“Long line, but the wait wasn't bad at all. They had about 5 or 6 people working, so the service moved pretty quickly. The staff didn't seem very friendly, but they were efficient. There were plenty of flavors to choose from, and the Butter Pecan was absolutely delicious, definitely my favorite. If you're in the area and craving ice cream, I'd recommend stopping by and giving it a try!“

“The Ice Cream is Great and the Owners really care that the customers are happy!!“

“I love this place! I bought a smoothie from this place while on my bike and off the boardwalk crashed I didn’t think I would get another but is was worth a shot and he did! I got a whole another smoothie for free! Another time and was riding looking for my brother and went up to multiple places for water but I didn’t have money and the gave me a free water nobody else did. This place has very generous staff and Greta customer service!“

“Awesome family owned and operated business“

“We went to visit this weekend and the ice cream was delicious👍“

“The food was amazing! The girl there was so friendly and had a really nice conversation with my friend and I! The ice cream itself was amazing too! I love that they had homemade ice cream and it was fantastic! I got three scoops with lemon bar, vanillia with chocolate chip, and chocolate prezel and salted caramel with vanillia ice cream!“

“Great homemade ice cream!“

“Our family LOVES going to the Hershey's Ice Cream Wildwood shop! They not only serve the BEST ice cream treats but their crepes and funnel cakes are out of this world! They also serve up smiles with a friendly staff! Our children love going there every day! well and night, too! Enjoy!“

“Was very hot but fun!! Staff is awesome too“

“Delicious, organic, most reasonably priced on the island. Definitely my favorite“

“The name says it all…very good ice cream!! Had 2 scoops of cannoli in a waffle cone which was huge! Best waffle cone I’ve had to date!! Parking is difficult but we had a driver and she had Baby Rasharda to keep her company!! I would have drove but I was day drinking Garage Beer all day, then we went for a boat ride and Captain Billy had me shook!! This place does get packed but it is worth the wait! Only thing that could make this place better while you wait would be to have Bieber continuously singing Yummy!!!“

“Best ice cream store in town! Family owned and operated. They make their own waffle cones- so good. Love the vibe there❤️“

“Service is always outstanding and the bananas are the best!!“

“Had the pleasure of coming here with a good friend today. I am a cappuccino snob, this was one of the best I’ve had stateside in a LONG time. The Ricotta jam toast was the perfect combination of sweet (blueberries were just perfect) and creamy. Adorable location with a beautiful view that just cant be beat. Kind staff, quick service too. Great prices for the incredible quality of food and beverage they provide as well. I can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu!“

“My family and I went to Rita's in Rio Grande this past Sunday for Sundae Sunday Night were all Sundae's were half price. Nearly all of the parking lot was full and there were about 7-8 people ahead of us, but we got to the cashier to place our orders in about 10 minutes. The cashier was very friendly while taking our orders and ringing us up. We each had sundaes and as always, the custard was absolutely delicious. All of the toppings were great as well with the exception of the gummy bears which were pretty rock hard. They were almost the consistency of JuJuBees. We will definitely be back for another round of Sundaes on Sunday in the future.“

“Let me first start with a compliment to Joe here ! I called in a day before to make sure that I could get a cake for my niece , and he confirmed the opening time was 11 am , I was early the next day for 10 minutes and surprisingly he opened the door at 1050 am and welcomed me in to sort me out ! He was way cool and patient about the questions I had and explained well , I got a few ice creams for my staff back in the office and he made all of them with a smile . When the cake was ready he was all smiles and ring me up , and of coz because of his exceptional service I got more ice cream ! DQ ! you have a winner here that represent your establishment well !“

“So husband bought a banana flavored one...it was like a banana flavored icee coupled with soft serve vanilla ice cream. I didn't get one at first...mistake. I tried my husband's and my God, I had to turn back and get one for myself. I had the orange flavored icee coupled with vanilla soft serve. It was delicious. I have no regrets.“

“Great GLUTEN FREE ice cream options!“

“Awesome ice cream 🍦 Will be going back.👍👍👍“

“great prices, quick service“

“Always a fan of diary queen ice creams and it was good to see DQ on the boardwalk . Fantastic location right on the heart of wildwood . It just gets crazy in peak times and then the service degrades .

Parking is also a bit crazy here . Everything is paid parking. And sometimes tough to get . Kids had fun with ice creams . Vanilla scoops are good . It’s a little pricey but ok for boardwalk style outlets . Good experience overall .“

“The place is cute and simple, and very clean! The owners were very welcoming towards me and my partner, and guided us on where the entrance is! 💕 She as well asked how everything was and the frozen yogurt while we gave our feedback of what flavors we ended up picking! Coming from Pennsylvania, we will definitely be coming back for next Summer 💗😊“

“Cash only. I really like their variety of ice cream flavors offered, especially the brookie dough. The line does get long and it does not move quickly. Service is slow, as they have limited employees working and limited space for those employees. Even with the wait, I still visit a couple of times each year. There is sufficient street parking - we usually drive there and have never had a problem finding parking within a two minute or less walk.

Parking: Plenty of parking available within a 2 minutes or less walk.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: The waiting line is wide enough for a wheelchair“

“Great experience here! Would go again! Best soft serve in Wildwood“

“Let me start by saying the owner Steph is truly all about making sure her customers are completely satisfied. I love that she changes her menu up with many different great tasting flavors. She has completely earned my Rita's business all the time. See you guys next year for some more great falvors. I must say the marshmallow and peanut butter ice and strawberry and peanut butter ice are my favorites.“

“Tremendous, never had a bad bowl from this place. Great service too. It’s not a fast food junk hut so you’ll wait a few extra minutes but well worth it.“

“Great ice cream and reasonable prices 🥰“

“Fresh homemade Açaí drinks, rolled ice cream, bubble cones all the best I’ve had Great customer service! Would recommend everyone to try!!!“

“Fast and friendly good ice cream“

“Going to Bandanas is a must every year we visit Wildwood. It’s always a family favorite.“

“Great ice cream! Kids had a blast. On certain days they have a balloon entertainer (free! tips welcomed). Staff super friendly.“

“Phenomenal dole whip, it may not be for everyone but I highly recommend the 5 mile cake.“

“I stopped with my grandchildren and they loved the ice cream served in Phillies hats! Ice cream was good and staff was very friendly!“

“Amazing atmosphere, this ice cream store has framed pictures of customers and celebrities displayed on every wall throughout the store. Adults and kids are featured on there wall of fame next to other celebrities. The vanilla ice cream was the best I’ve ever had. Was a great stop during the Irish Fall Festival.“

“Awesome ice cream 🍦 Will be going back.👍👍👍“

“Love the ice cream cakes! It's all the kids want for their birthdays now!“
