“If you ever need a cake I highly recommend! Super accommodating and so talented!“

“Me and my family love this place. I get that fatboy excitement when I see a Nicholas Creamery text come in, telling about what new flavor is in. Italian rainbow cookie, cannoli, and pineapple cake being my favorites in that order. However, as of late my pints have been light. Last time it was my cannoli pint, nowhere near full. Ok, 1 time no big deal. Their scoops are almost always healthy. Then today again. My favorite, Italian rainbow cookie is back. So, I got 2 pints. They got them from the back. I didnt check just rushed home so it wouldn't melt and so me and my family could enjoy. Again, nowhere near full. 😑 I feel cheated. Check the pics. That said, I'll still be back“

However, you need to bring back the pistachio ice cream. I cant wait another year to have it again.

It was the best pistachio I've ever tasted. And i've tasted a lot of ice cream!!“

“Great customer service at the Red Bank location! Delicious flavors for all tastes.“

“I've been coming to this location for about a year and some change, and everytime I come here the staff is so cool. Today I came by and a new hire rung me up- who was pretty cool, by the way. She took my order and she made sure the details were right down to the letter, then got started. This location is my favourite only because everyone here is so cool. \m/“

“My family and I are obsessed with this place! All of the young workers are so kind and courteous. They are constantly cleaning up the yogurt machines and the topping stations and it looks super nice.
There's a wide variety of toppings and they're not basic either! My favorite is the sauce/ wet topping station. It's got everything from hot fudge to marshmallow drizzle and reese's peanut butter sauce!
I honestly can say I enjoy coming here more than getting an ice cream from an ice cream place. I'd highly recommend it for the topping selection and lots of variety.
Shoutout to the workers and owner for their great business! Also, the fish aquarium is so pretty and they're always playing something fun on TV for my kids to watch. 10/10!“

“We only love two ice cream places. Sundaes is one of them. Great product and service always.“

“Mr. Brainfreez Was a Hit!
Mr. Brainfreez had all the classics — soft serve, Italian ice, ice cream sandwiches, and bars — something for everyone to enjoy! He was incredibly polite and patient with the students, making the whole experience smooth and fun.

He helped turn a special occasion into an even more memorable one for our students, and you could tell he genuinely cared about creating a positive experience.

Highly recommend catching this ice cream truck if it rolls through your neighborhood — it’s a treat in every way!“

“Been a while since I've seen a Tom Carvel ad (I suspect he's dipping cones in hot fudge in the heaven location now), and maybe 15+ years since I've enjoyed the custard at Carvel. Have done lotsa DQing. It's okay. And I think the dense, dense thick custard at Rita's may be a richer take on the confection. But Tom's custard was great on a hot late summer day.“

“Very simply the ice cream is excellent. The atmosphere is great. The service is good although it does sometimes get very crowded and you have to wait online but it’s well worth the wait some of the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time and I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream.“

“This isn't the first time I went to Ralph's. It was in the summer right after I came from Jimmy Max With a bunch of People. 70 degrees, perfect weather and a good time to have a Frozen treat.??? Last time I had coconut flavored Italian ice, this time I had pina colada cream ice. In this location is like a little plaza and it had a spot which showed a whole menu. They even had ice cream, smoothies, cream iced and many more. I looked in the window where they prep the ice cream and it smelled like fun. ? I think I might want to come back some more flavors to try out.???“

“I was about to write a positive review praising the quality of this establishment when I noticed the recent reviews at the bottom. I visited the store around the same time the last two reviews were posted with my kids and was disheartened to see the negative feedback from grown adults, given the store's high volume of customers at the time of the review and the evident efforts of the staff, who are working diligently for minimum wage. Having been a frequent patron, I have consistently experienced exceptional service and care by the staff.“

“Like this page? No LOOOOOVE� been going since I’m a little girl!“

Keep up the good work.“

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!“

“Just recently found out about crumbl after my neighbor brought over a 6 pack. OH MY GOODNESS!! You have not lived until you have tried a cookie from crumbl! They are to die for! There is always at least one flavor per week that you will absolutely love and devour! The staff is very friendly, the store is so cute and clean, and have i mentioned the cookies are out of this world!?!? Do yourself a favor, go to crumbl!“

“I ordered a #Cinderellacake custom made #perfect for my granddaughter’s’ 1st birthday and the employees are very polite the young lady that took my order was very nice.“

“I usualy come ro this cold stone and never have any issues. Great staff and Amazing service. But today, Denise topped this experience even more! Coming to a place where someone makes your day even better just by genuinely showing kindness and wonderful attitude is truly magical. Keep up the great work!!!“

“Uncle Louie G's on Amboy Road is a must-visit! Their Italian ices and ice cream are top-notch, with a great variety of delicious flavors. The staff is friendly and always happy to let you sample before you decide. Perfect for a family treat or a casual hangout this place never disappoints!“

“Premium ice cream or cakes, which you should expect to pay premium prices. Everything is good, and I do love their cakes. The staff is helpful in ordering and has never made an error with us. It is not a matter of choosing the best versus other places. Sometimes you are in the mood for Coldstone, Carvel, fro-yo at Yogurt City, or some delicious homemade ice cream at Something Sweet. You make your choice and get what you expect to get. Coldstone is for big, tasty, and pricey.“

“Went to this Dunkin’ donuts and Baskin Robbin’s establishment late at night and had an amazing experience which made my day. The kindest worker, Atif (or Aatif, i am unsure of the spelling), provided the best service and was so kind to talk to. What a hardworking employee, and wonderful man! Highly recommend!“

“I ordered from Uber eats. They were out of the flavors we had requested but they had called me and fixed all the issues! For some reason Uber eats canceled the order, I called and spoke to the manager and she had no knowledge of the cancellation. She had my order still sitting ready to go! I picked it up and they were so sweet! So apologetic for something completely out of their control! She made sure I understood the price differences and I was perfectly fine with paying whatever the price was! (Huge Rita’s fan) I will absolutely make this my go to Rita’s spot! A great work environment starts with the higher ups! A perfect example was set tonight for her employees! Extremely happy with everything!!“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“We don't have too many froyo spots on the island. This place is close, convenient and usually not too busy. The froyo, is refreshing and the toppings are fresh. I recommend the nutella/peanut butter froyo with pretzels and recess pieces!“

“Best ices and the staff is so friendly They will always get my business.“

“specialty shakes. the fruit and milk teas are pretty good“

“We have a kid with a nut allergy, so we struggle finding safe ice cream options. Holy Cow has a completely allergy safe case of ice cream. They also have dairy and gluten free options. The ice cream was delicious and the family was AMAZING! We will back back every day. MUST see!!!“

“I have called and placed an order a few times this year..every call the people were happy and professional. my orders were always on time and correct!. the Italian ices are exactly from my childhood. I'm really happy this business is still around!. thank you to Mike and everyone else who makes this business what it is!!..“

“Before walking into carvel, I had hurt my finger and was in need of a bandaid. I ended up asking the worker and he looked very concerned for me. He ended up taking out a first aid kit and put the bandaid on me with a healing jelly thingy. He didn’t have too, but he did. I think that shows how much he cares about his customers. The sundae was 10/10 as well! 🍨😋“

“We were up from South Carolina visiting family in Tinton Falls and after a day walking the neighborhood, it was time for ice cream. We are repeat customers here at Ryan's, which has a very nice selection of ice cream, including soft serve. It's located on a main drag and should do great business, but we were there five minutes after opening (couldn't wait ?) so it was all ours.“

“The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a wide array of colorful and enticing flavors. The staff behind the counter were friendly and patient, allowing me to sample different flavors before making my decision. The ice cream cake was absolutely delicious, with a creamy and smooth texture that melted in my mouth. The shop had a wonderful selection of toppings and mix-ins, allowing me to customize my treat to perfection. The portions were generous, and the presentation was beautiful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this ice cream shop to all ice cream enthusiasts looking for a delectable and memorable experience.“
