13 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wantage

“This place is delicious! Our server was kind and quick and gave us recommendations on the menu. The pickled chicken sandwich was perfection! Perfectly crispy, full of flavor, generous portion. The cheese steaks were also delicious. We didn't see cheese steaks on the menu photos on Google, but we called and asked because that's what we were searching for. They have a separate menu for cheese steaks and I forgot to take a photo to add to Google, hopefully they add one soon.

We also ordered milkshakes, and we appreciated that they used real strawberry ice cream in their shake instead of strawberry-flavored syrup.

The building is cute and seems freshly updated. I would come here again and again if it wasn't 2 hours away from me! Definitely a great stop on our trip.“

““A Must-Visit Classic Creamery!”

We absolutely adore this classic creamery! From the moment we first passed by, we knew it was a spot we had to try, and when we finally did, it completely lived up to the hype. Every bite was pure joy, and we left wishing we had discovered it sooner!

The Rum Raisin, Black Forest Cake, Brownie Butter, and graham central station flavors are highly recommended—each one is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. And don’t forget to add hot fudge and wet walnuts on top for that extra indulgence 🔥.

I only wish I lived closer so I could bring home quarts of this incredible ice cream. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t regret it!

“Excellent stop for a cold, summer treat! The young people working always seem like they are enjoying themselves, and the strawberry/peanut butter milskakes is The Bomb (my family says the other stuff is delicious, too!). If you're in the area, definitely stop for a treat. It's worth the wait if there's a line!!“

“So Many flavors all tasting delicious. Great service. Join the club and get a free ice cream.“

“Great service, we were greeted upon entry. There were two servers attending to us this afternoon. It was just the two of us at the table. We tried a new sundae and fried ice cream! Everything was delicious! When we finished eating we took a look at the Delaware River and sat on a bench for a few minutes. Definitely recommend a stop here if you are in the area. (It is worth the trip)“

“Best breakfast and service around“

“The young ladies operating this DQ today were wonderful. This has always been a nicely run establishment- even when the line of cars stretches around the store and into the road. They are always kind, patient, and exemplify what it means to provide a good service. Today, I just felt they needed the recognition that I feel is deserved.“

“This place is a hidden gem. It looks like any run of the mill casual dining place, but the food says otherwise. There are menu staples which obviously are great, but the seasonal and daily specials are phenomenal. I have never been disappointed by anything I have ever ordered from Ben's Fresh. You can tell that the head chef actually really has passion for what he does by the dishes he comes up with, and that the food isn't made to fit some cost analysis- but to be delicious. They never skimp, one meal is probably enough for 2 average adults and pricing is reasonable for the quantity and quality of food you are getting. Honestly you are only gonna spend maybe 2-3$ more on a burger and fries than you would at McDonald's for a meal. The girls ( maybe there's boys too, I just always see the girls) are always friendly and seem to enjoy being there as well. It says a lot when your staff doesn't seem miserable. Also, just to conclude- icecream nachos. Get them. You will not regret it.

Logistically, large parking lot, with handicapped spots right by the door. Plenty of outdoor seating set back from the road in nice weather. Bathrooms are clean. Not a ton of seating inside but I have never not been able to find a table. Cool local art. You can call in your order ahead to pick it up. Check it out.“

“It's a Dairy Queen so you know what you are getting. Felt that the service was good for the three visits I have made there in the last two months. Hot food was consistent and fresh. Milk shakes were what you would expect from them. I was able to play an arcade game while I waited for my food so that was cool. Place looked like it was clean. Freezer seemed stocked with an ample supply of DQ items.. I have nothing to complain about so a 5 star it is. If you like DQ this once is worth stopping at.“

“This is the best food in Vernon served by the friendliest stuff at the best prices , t The Place is Amazing ,if you are new in the area or just visiting Vernon just stop by because there is no better place for breakfast lunch and dinner at the writing of this post.
