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!“

“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!☺️👏“

“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!!

“I went to ritas & I had the pleasure of being served by Joey and abby . They are the absolute best . Joey let's me know which flavors are new & what I should try . If your ever in the are stop by and be greeted by one of these beautiful people while receiving great service !“

“This is a beautiful, refreshing place with warm and friendly service. In short, a little sweet gem of Upper Manhattan. Definitely the best banana pudding I’ve ever had. I recommend that all sweet-tooths visit this lovely spot, as they have a wide variety of colorful desserts where you can’t decide which one is better than the other.“

“Ice cream made with true passion and with a pinoy twist.“

“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.“

“Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. The Grape Nuts ice cream is genuinely great and the Coquito ice cream turned my girlfriend feral. Special shout-out to the VEGETARIAN MARSHMALLOWS. My girl loves marshmallows but usually can’t eat them because of the gelatin. We were extremely pleased to hear the toasted marshmallow topping doesn’t contain gelatin, especially because it tastes much better than most store-bought marshmallows.“

“My favorite sweet spot in town. They’ve added cookies to the menu and I’m so happy because I love a great cookie and they definitely deliver that. My favorite is the red velvet and I also love the chocolate chip. They make a speciality cookie monthly which always piques my interest. Their cookies are thick and delicious so definitely worth the price. I love their crepes as well and appreciate the fact that it comes with icecream. Friendly and fun here!“

“Great gelato! The flavors were very good and the gelato was delicious. The service was a little strange and not too welcoming, and they hesitantly gave me a sample. Other than that, great place and definitely recommend it.

“Edited to add: Yes, of course! I was in the city this week for a short trip and was looking for a new hot chocolate spot. The Italian hot chocolate I ordered had the consistency of chocolate pudding and was divine! The gelato macarons were delicious too!“

“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 recently visited Aida’s Parkside in New York, and it was a wonderful experience! The gelato was rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavors. Each scoop was a treat.
The best part was the service. Omar, the worker who helped me, was perfect—so friendly and welcoming. He explained the different flavors, offered samples with a smile, and gave great recommendations.
The shop had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your gelato. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, I highly recommend Aida’s parkside. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors!
Overall, a 5-star experience with fantastic gelato and amazing service.“

“It’s small but it’s very nice and clean. It was my 1st time there and the young man at the counter took his time and suggested many options. He was very patient. This was about two weeks ago almost. Today I came back but he wasn’t there, a young lady was and she was very sweet. Great desserts and customer service. Highly recommend!“

I tried the 3 Leches Bubba Waffles, and they were incredible. The rest of the family had the pleasure of having the Oreos and strawberries. Mmm perfectly moist with just the right amount of sweetness. I’ll definitely be back for more treats!”“

“SOOO GOOOD!

I am really happy this new burger spot is in town versus the greasy overpriced one down the street. Just my personal preference~ I need fresh veggies with my meats!

This burger had fresh veggies and nice big brioche bun. Cooked well, sauce was YUM!! Great little treat when in the mood for a fresh burger!!“

“Absolutely delicious! The flavors I chose today on a waffle cone: Pistachio & Piña Colada. The shop also has a small & nice sitting area in the front, with 2 swing benches, umbrellas, 1 iron bistro table & chairs.“

“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. 😃“

“It’s so fun and delicious“

“Ciel Dessert is in a league of its own. I have a massive sweet-tooth, so i've had more than my fair share of dessert, and without a doubt this place takes the cake as the finest.

No artificial flavors or colorings, and everything is made on location. The articulate care and passion that Chef Jane puts into her craft is well-apparent, each pastry in the shop presents as a piece of art, and a master-piece at that. Check her resume on their website. She is legit.“

“Hi 👋 This is the best Italian Ice you will find anywhere, and the NICEST family owned! XOX“

“I’ve been to this franchise only twice and love everything from the flavors to the toppings! Just so yummy, highly recommend“

“Have a chat with Santa he is a treat ! 🥰“

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

“Once inside, I find myself tasting all the treats in this veritable abbondanza of pastries, cookies, cakes and, of course, Teresa’s special Italian Ices. I’m especially partial to the Lilly with Nuts. It a uniquely New York flavor that Teresa captures so well. Although I’m not from the neighborhood, it certainly worth the trip. During one visit, I was fortunately confronted by a warm tray of freshly baked miniature sfogliatella sitting in parchment paper. I can still relish the experience. Whether it’s ices or baked goods, one is never overwhelmed by the note of sweetness, it rather the distinct flavor of the treat that shines through. You can’t go wrong here.“

“The best around by far! Lots of flavors, but the simple swirl always hits the spot.“

“A wide variety of Ice cream especially the Caribbean flavors“

“Excellent Carvel store, they offer so many options for ice cream cakes - all readily available. They also take custom orders if you want a special design or specific image printed on the cake. Service is fast and seating area is clean. Also has a small outdoor area right up front. Seems to be a popular spot as there is usually a line the times I have gone but the line moves quickly. Highly recommend for a quick scoop or ready made cake“

“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 !“
