50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Tenafly

“I recently visited BYY, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The variety of flavors was impressive, catering to every taste, from classic options to creative seasonal specials. The yogurt itself was creamy, refreshing, and had just the right balance of sweetness.

The toppings bar was a dream come true! Fresh fruits, crunchy nuts, indulgent candies, and syrups — everything was so fresh and well-stocked. It made customizing my yogurt both fun and delicious.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were patient in answering my questions and made sure I had the best experience possible. The cleanliness and inviting atmosphere of the store also stood out, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a treat.

I highly recommend BYY to anyone looking for a delightful frozen yogurt experience. It’s perfect for a quick snack, a family outing, or even just a treat-yourself moment. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“I had a fantastic experience! The store manager, was so attentive and cordial. I had no intention of buying anything and i ended up with a bunch of gelato and chocolate. Thank you, Devin!!

Parking: Easy to park. Its at the mall.“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“Delicious Italian ice and very friendly young men behind the counter. Great to have Rita’s back in the area!“

“My daughter loved the cupcakes, and i loved their price as well as the decor and feel of the bakery. Home has changed lots since ive moved. The only thing that could be better was the person at the register, he was highly engaged in his phone so his responses/interaction was quick short, kind of like he didnt want to be bothered. Overall the place the is 😍“

“The first time I tried them was at the Rockefeller center which I saw it on TikTok and wanted to see if it was worth the hype. I got the s’mores hot chocolate back in December 2024 and omg the best hot chocolate ever don’t go to any of the hot chocolate spots except this one because this was truly worth the hype. Now I went to go to their actual store (Sep 2025) they had a S’mores frozen hot chocolate which I got that, the customer service was amazing! The guy & girl were really nice. Now on to my drink which was the first time I had frozen hot chocolate and it was amazing!! I had an overall great experience and definitely will be coming back again. 🤎☕️ (I’m also picky when it comes to food & drinks so when I tell you it’s worth it! It’s definitely worth it!)“

“The ice cream is great and although parking is hard it’s worth the visit at least once! Their ice cream flavor selections are pretty unique. I will say their hot chocolate didn’t hit. There was no piece of marshmallow it was a tiny dollop with a squirt of whipped cream.“

“Best ice cream in New Jersey highly recommended .. try the Dubai chocolate its addicting 🥰“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“We really enjoyed the ice cream — the flavors were delicious and super fresh. The guy working there was very friendly and helped us choose the right flavors, which made the experience even better. There’s also plenty of space inside, with tables where you can sit and enjoy your treat. A cozy spot for a sweet break! 🍦✨“

“Best Grapefruit ice cream ♥️“

“Wow! I have never had a better ice cream experience. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly by Linda. Linda went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect gelato experience. At other gelato/ice cream spots, trying different flavors is usually met with annoyance by the employees, but Linda was happy to recommend flavors to us and let us try them to make sure we made the right choice. I love that Amorino lets you put as many flavors as you want in your chosen size. I was absolutely amazed by the richness of the flavors and textures of the gelato. And the service from Linda and Blu truly made it an EXPERIENCE. Will be back!!! I also love the seating area in the back.“

“So pretty and so delicious!!! Too bad I forgot to take a picture of my dad’s birthday cake.. I made an online order(it was easy!) of chocolate lava cake and it was one of the most delicious Choco lava I have ever had!! I have a picture of some other ones….“

“Fresh enjoyable used for business meeting“

“Always wanted to try this ice cream spot since the mall opened and glad I did. Well worth the wait and found it to taste like the name. Creamy and delicious.

The guy helping us out was super nice and let me try as many samples as I wanted. Would come back every time I visit American Dream.“

“They have the best lemon ice cream 🍦🍦“

“� � loved it so did my kids great experience and fun .“

“We stopped off at NoiDue Gelato, and wow… every flavor was a hit. We basically did a full tasting session (for the sake of research, of course).

The Stracciatella was smooth with those perfect little chocolate bits.

Lotus Crunch was like cookie butter dreams come true.

Pistachio had that deep, real flavor, not the fake green stuff.

Madagascar Vanilla was so rich and creamy, it deserves its own fan club.

But two flavors totally stole the show:
The Halva Nagila… insane. Creamy, nutty, just the right sweet sesame vibe.
And the Crème Brûlée, seriously wow. It tasted like dessert at a 5-star restaurant… only colder and better.

And here’s the best part: it just happens to be kosher, Cholov Yisrael, and Pas Yisrael. So yes, you can enjoy every spoonful guilt-free and maybe even come back tomorrow.

Highly recommend. Grab a scoop, take a walk, and thank me later.“

“Great homemade ice cream.Great assorted flavors.You won't be disappointed.“

“Salt & Straw has some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The monthly flavors are always something interesting. Theres some amazing classics too. Theres a flavor for everyone. My favorites are pistachios, strawberry balsamic, and coffee & love nuts. The staff is amazing, kind and knowledgeable. When the store is packed with guest they do the best they can to provide exceptional service to each customer.“

“My daughter had a play date and her new best friend lives near by this ice cream place, it's a hidden gem they prepared the rolled ice cream and the bubble crepes fresh right in front of you, you got to be a little patience as sometimes there is a line and the 2 servers is doing their very best to prepared all orders according to what received, we ordered Nutella rolled and strawberry banana crepes and both devoured by our kids and both loves it so much, my daughter already asking me to comeback so we can try a different ice cream menu, inside the place is organized and clean, both server is really helpful, I have no complaint with service and everything is delicious, we will definitely coming back soonest.“

“They have a 5.0 rating as of this writing. And I can see why. They make their own gelato in house. And it’s oddly good. Way better than it should be for this little out of the way place. I’m not sure this is a destination kind of place. But if you’re in the neighborhood, it’s perfect. Kid friendly and kid approved.“

“Ok, so photo don't look good because I had to dig in quick during a hot summer day. I don't like sweets in general, but DAMN!!!, the blueberry lemon basil is really good. The Oreo, chocolate and nocciola flavors are on point. Will be coming back for sure.“

“The ice-creams are delicious. They have many egg-free/vegan options as well. And the staff members are very friendly. My son dropped his ice-cream on the floor, but they refused to charge us even after us insisting.“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

“Every time the door opens the owners are always smiling and very welcoming. A warm wanted feeling is nice for a customer to feel. Especially these days. The ice cream is ALWAYS fresh. The place is always clean as well.“

“My daughter loves it , she says music and all is amazing. She was Surprised thats the bubble gum ice scream had literally candy inside 😅“

“delicioso 🤤 buena atencion 🎉“

“Great workers there tonight. It was very busy and they handled the rush very well! The two workers scheduled between 6:30 and 6:50 ,which was about the time frame we were there, worked really hard and did their best to handle the rush. Wanted to make sure to leave a review and ensure they get recognized. Sunday 4/6/2025“

“Such a beautiful little spot, with delicious home made ice cream at affordable prices, and really kind staff. I got the chocolate cherry and mango flavours twice already.
Importantly, also pet friendly with delicious ice cream for doggies. It seems that, judging from the reaction of a couple of them, even some doggies are regular customers! :-)
I love the atmosphere and colours of this little gem, which has a long bench and quite a few spots to sit down and enjoy your ice cream, as well as the colourful metal tables outside at a vibrant and friendly neighbourhood, so close to Central Park and in the wider Columbia University lively neighbourhood.
If I lived in the area long term, I would visit it every day!“

“Thank you for your support of Eastbrook’s class of 2021!“

“Malibu with cherry Italian Ice. May I saw the service is above & Beyond. Fast and very respected. Makes the customer feel good and its a guarantee of coming back with the entire family and share with others. Lots of different choices and there are little tables to eat outside the ice cream shop. I will say a family in front of me: the mama dropped her ice cream by mistake while carrying the others for her children and they literally gave her a brand new one with no charge! Other places they will charge 😆 but not Ralph's so go check them out this summer you wont regret it. 😉“

“Excellent gelato! Very nice staff! Lovely outdoor patio.“

“Excellent shave ice and ramen!“

“We used to walk there from the house over 50 years ago. Pick up a dozen Dilly Bars (I think they call them Buster bars now). I always knew the staff because we grew up together. So much more than memories !“

“The cookie butter bomb is so good! I enjoyed it so much I’d definitely recommend this ice cream place! Very tasty!“

“Amazing tasting ice cream at great prices accompanied by great service“

“I've always loved Carvel. This location everybody is pretty cool. Always great times when I go there. My only problem with Carvel is that they STILL DON'T HAVE rewards points. Everybody wants rewards points, COME ON ALREADY CARVEL!! WE WANT REWARDS!!“

“The new ressee ice cream thing (forgot the name) it’s like a sundae/blizzard combo sorta, you eat with spoon… it’s shown as brown ice cream (not vanilla) which it is, just vanilla soft serve with peanut butter syrup.. I thought that it was peanut butter ice cream (which would have been better) it was still pretty good though but pretty expensive for a small cup of averaged ice cream.. $8 an some change ?‍♀️?‍♀️“

“I stopped in with an order for 14 different bowls/toppings, and Jalise went above and beyond for me! She created each bowl with a smile, even labeling each person's order with a sharpie. I can't say enough about her positive attitude and delightful demeanor. She is a pleasure, and I will return to this store just because of her!“

“amazing place. Want to tae my friends here! awesome!!!!!“
