33 Best Ice Cream Shops near Surf City

“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!“

“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 the Surfboard art. Go there and take a picture then post it.“

“My family refuses icecream from anywhere other than Skipper Dipper! It’s our favorite!!! The workers are so sweet too!“

“What a great place for a frozen treat on a hot day! They make everything in house - all the syrups, ice cream and toppings. Macadamia ice cream is particularly fantastic! The flavor choices for the shaved ice are incredible and there are plenty of options. Great service! Highly recommend!“

“this ice cream is actually homemade and unbelievable. also was given a shake on the house when some doofus (me) dropped the original 2 doors down from my rental. salted caramel milkshake is extremely next level delicious.“

“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.“

“Fantastic! Best ice cream in town“

“I had the two scoops of ice cream with heath bar crunch topping. Best ice cream I’ve had since the Creamery at Penn State. Dairy King’s ice cream is so so good. I’m making several trips back while I’m here. You won’t find any better ice cream on LBI.“

“Yummy ice cream, large selection of flavors and toppings. Generous portions, and of course every order comes with a cookie!“

“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.“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“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.“

“very nice staff I would definitely go again“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“The best ice cream! Highly recommend“

“I have had many “boardwalk” style fries but these are simply the best . When you ask for cheese fries you kinda expect to have that store bought cheese sauce flavor. But here it was fantastic They are also very peanut allergen friendly as well“

“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.“

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