21 Best Ice Cream Shops near Surf City

“Tried this for the first time and got my son and I some fruit smoothies. They were amazing! Portions were large and we were greeted with a friendly smile that was so genuine. Looking forward to going back and trying more goodies!“

“The best! Generous sized ice cream. Always busy, worth the wait. Can even get something for the dog.“

“Love this place for Italian Ice on LBI. My personal favorite, Shark Attack!! . It combines the flavors of Sour Tsunami and Tiger's Blood, and is topped with a shark gummy.
For parents the kids size is at a reasonable cost, and the good for Littles or a light guilt mid day to cool down.“

“Never a bad experience. Always great service. Can’t wait for you guys to reopen!“

“Great place-Many flavors to choose from and very reasonable in price too.“

“Jeffreeze always has been our go to ice cream place for years and it will without a doubt remain that way. Prices have certainly gone up like everywhere else, but the owners have never cut back on generous portions or product quality. The place is outstanding plain and simple....“

“Great ice cream it's pumpkin ice cream season“

“Hail to the King, Baby. Hail to the King! Our family has been regular customers at the Dairy King for 40+ years. There are soft ice cream options (cones and sundaes) as well as hard ice cream. Both are delicious. During the season, they are usually open on afternoons and evenings. In the September/October shoulder season, they tend to be open more for late afternoons and evenings until 9pm. The Dairy King is popular, especially with families with kids and they will draw a crowd in the evening. They have been known to stay open past their published closing time, to make sure that all customers in line are taken care when of, before closing for the night.“

“We stopped by last night after a round of mini golf next door. You can't go wrong with Kohr's ice cream. I'm not supposed to be indulging, but I gave in. A little crowded, but the line moved super quick. The associates were quick and very friendly. A great atmosphere all around. I believe it's the only one on the island. I couldn't decide between the orange cream or the mint. I usually just do chocolate when in Ocean City. This time, I got the mint swirl and say it with me....Chocolate JIMMIES !!!!!! Do not say the S word.“

“Kudos to Show Place for following the CDC guidelines to keep patrons safe during this pandemic. As a mother of toddlers, I appreciate the level of seriousness the staff took for: wellness checks, wearing masks, sanitizing shared objects (menus) and keeping everyone socially distanced. None of the precautions felt invasive either. The staff was energetic, kind, and knowledgeable. Their enthusiasm for their job was palpable. Thank you for the show! My girls loved it! We will 100% be back in the future.“

“Old family favorite, been eating here since 1970. A better endorsement can’t be had.“

“We just had my littles birthday party here and it was amazing. It was so easy to set up with Sandy and crew. They were helpful abd made it simple. Maddie was the one who helped up and she was fabulous. I would recommend over and over again! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much!“

“delicious ice cream clean area friendly staff fast service.try their soft serve ice cream and specialty cones“

“Ordered a cheesesteak, meatball parm, and Italian sub yesterday. Sandwich’s were delicious and outstanding. Definitely recommend this place.“

“The employees really need to be trained in customer service. The ice cream is decent BUT the service is HORRIBLE. We bought ice cream for our 3 kids ($20ish dollars). My daughter ordered the cookie ice cream and it came bright blue with not a single cookie chunk. Didn’t taste great. If it was even decent, she would have ate it (she literally eats anything), but it was really not good. When I so politely told them she didn’t like it (hoping either we could get a new kind or a discount on a new one), the staff was so rude! Immediately telling me it was my fault because I didn’t ask for a sample. The manager came out and said “do you want to purchase a new one or not?” I ended up paying for a full replacement - which honestly would have been ok from the beginning if their response was kind instead of defensive and accusatory. I have never had treatment like that from an ice real shop. There are so many choices for ice cream on the island - from now on, we’ll choose one with kind workers that appreciate the business.“

“Great little breakfast spot on LBi. Looking for bagels, sandwiches or just coffee,hot or cold this is your spot. Lots of parking and a young friendly staff.“

“The best ice cream! Highly recommend“

“So delicious! What a treat for our family when we come to LBI. Great service as well.“

“We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. The food is amazing, the service is great and the owner is wonderful. We will continue to enjoy our weekly visits and will always recommend to our friends and family.“

“The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming! (: They were very knowledgeable about the LBI area as well. The spinach pizza was fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious! Generous amount of spinach, and the crust was crispy without being too thin or too thick. Pleasantly surprised by the portion of chicken tenders and fries. Great value for the price.The food was served quickly but didn’t feel rushed. We would definitely come back when in the area, and recommend to friends and family. The atmosphere of the pizza shop was very inviting, and has a hometown beach vibe to it. Sunset pizza went above and beyond to satisfy our needs!“

“Fun atmosphere, great desserts, wide variety. Highly recommended!“
