17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Surf City

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

“We were in walking distance of pelicans and went almost every night. We really enjoyed the wide variety of flavors. The order gentleman could be more personable, but the other staff was wonderful. We tended to look in the windows to prepare our selves for him. My children were always excited try a new flavor. We cannot wait to come back next year!“

“They don't make their own ice cream, but what makes them special is what they do with it. Their sundaes are excellent. My favorite is the Drownie Brownie. When I ant unique or innovative ice cream flavors, I will go somewhere else. But when I want to have the best and most satisfying sundae, this is where I go. The quality is excellent and it' just a fun place to visit.“

“Highly recommend. some of the best ice cream I’ve had. Really friendly service overall great experience. We ordered the truck for my daughter’s signing for a softball scholarship. Thank you Mister Softee“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went here yesterday for the first time to try the ice cream and it was great! There were a lot of people inside when we got there, but their system of taking a number as well as the multiple employees made the line move quickly. They offered 28 ice cream flavors to choose from. Their prices were extremely cheap for the amount of ice cream they give you! I ordered a small which was 2 scoops and it was huge. I got mint chocolate cookie and peanut butter Oreo. Both of the flavors were delicious!“

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

“Super nice employees, out of all the pizza on LBI this takes the cake. This pizza tastes and is on par with NYC styles. I’m from Long Island and honestly just as good! They have Dr Pepper and also tons of nice sauces like Valentina and tajin which are the best toppings for pizza if you love spice like me. Give this man your business, I will be back every time I’m on LBI! Such a great vibe, true beach town feel place without sacrificing quality or being fake. Nice view outside of the restaurant of the bay. Unlike the other pizza places on LBI this place has slices! Every other place gave me a face if I ask if they did buffalo slices! Go check this place out tasty and classic slices!“

“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.“
