“I brought a cake for my son birthday. On 3/7/26 my husband went to pick it up box was taped up. It was a lion king theme cake with oreo inside. I opened the box no lion king no oreo. I called the store multiple times no answer. I even went to the store was told manager Jimmy would call me today 3/11/26. Still nothing. As much as I paid for this cake it should of been the way I ordered. Never again because someone should of told my husband the cake is not exactly as we purchased and the price should of been adjusted and refund issued. Edit 3/12/26 Jimmy the manager called me and explained the situation and it was a miscommunication. He apologized and rectified the situation. I would definetly buy another cake from coldstone. Thank you Jimmy.“

“Blue raspberry Misty was awesome on a hot day!“

“it is really good I definitely recommend“

“I went to an ice cream shop in Staten Island and it was absolutely excellent. The taste was really special, but what stood out even more was the person working there.

He is a Latino Spanish man, very polite, patient, and treats customers with great respect, kindness, and generosity. He has a wonderful personality and a really positive energy.

Honestly, if I ever go back to that place, it will be because of him as much as the ice cream itself. His attitude makes the experience even better.

I truly wish him all the best.“

“Soooo many amazing flavors“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!! Made the experience that much better. Nice to see the spot were the final episode was filmed but if we lived closer we would come back for the food!! So glad David Chase picked Holsten’s!!“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“Amazing place. They have all types of ice cream flavors, including non-dairy and sugar free ice cream, they have a large variety of Italian ices flavors, and to make it even better they can make smoothies and slushies and floats based off of any flavors you want. The worker that helped us out today was amazing, helpful and kind. She was holding down the fort by herself, I believe her name was Thaliana“

Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

“Caputo’s is hands down one of the best ice cream spots around. The ice cream is insanely creamy, super flavorful, and you can tell it’s made with real quality ingredients. Every flavor hits, whether you’re sticking with a classic or trying something new. The shop has such a friendly, welcoming vibe, and the staff is always great.“

“it was good“

“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.“

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“el helado de chocolate con oreo“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“One of the best gelatos I’ve tried in the US! This makes all the other gelatos I’ve tried seem unauthentic. The hazelnut and pistachio were amazing. I don’t like pistachio ice cream but their pistachio flavor tasted nutty and delicious. I see why so it’s bustling with people going in and out!“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“Ralph's Famous Italian Ices lives up to its name! Delicious, refreshing, and packed with flavor — a true classic that never gets old. Great variety of flavors and a fun nostalgic vibe. Minor things keep it from 5 stars but it's an absolute must-visit, especially in the summer!“

“Great ice cream, even while waiting on line there’s a great vibe. By the way, I had the cherry vanilla!“

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.“

“Excellent service and outdoor seating“

“Hands down one of the best spots to get Italian ice!! So many flavors! And bonus for our allergy fam, they had dairy free and vegan options! Instantly became our family’s new fav icecream spot! Thanks for all the options and for helping with our allergy needs! Shout out to Aisha who took care of us today! We’ll be back! Also shout out to them for their excellent customer service on social media and in person! Oh and don’t forget the cute swing for photo ops! Love love love! Thanks again!“

“No contest. DQ and Last Licks are good, sometimes necessary in the pinch. But, Scoop Coop? Legendary. They just know how to nuance the nuance of soft serve...and the homemade hard flavors are consistently delicious. A sweet balance and perfect mouth feel. Service is of same high, joyful standard.“

“Lots of flavor variety. Wish the sugar free/ NSA flavors were listed on the menu .“
