8 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wantage

“Cow Patty’s in Vernon, NJ is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I’ve been to plenty of burger spots, but this place really stands out.

The burgers are hands-down amazing. I love that they offer Certified Angus Flame Grilled Burgers, and the “Build a Burger” option is perfect for customizing exactly how you like it. The toppings and sauces are fresh and flavorful—chipotle mayo, hickory BBQ, and mango habanero are just a few of my favorites.

Their signature burgers are just as incredible. The Pineapple Jalapeño Burger is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, and the BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger is loaded with flavor and the perfect comfort food. The sides are great too—I highly recommend the sweet potato fries and fried pickles.

The location is clean and modern, making it a great spot to grab a casual meal or just hang out with friends. The food always comes out hot and fresh, and the portions are generous.

I’ve been coming here for a while now, and it never disappoints. If you’re in Vernon or just passing through, Cow Patty’s is a must-visit for anyone who loves high-quality, delicious burgers. I’ll definitely be back again and again!“

““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!

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!).
