13 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wantage

“We had a great experience for our first time here. Love that they use local beef, it truly makes all of the difference in freshness and taste. Fantastic burgers, really good fries, great service! The waitress brought my two little kids a couple of cups of ice cream (no charge) which was really nice and much appreciated. Can’t wait to go back and explore more of the menu!“

“The gem of Vernon ice cream. Hands down the best texture and flavor options for ice cream that you can find in the area. Definitely worth a visit. They also have great ice cream sandwich options. When you visit remember this place is Cash Only.“

“Visited today for their BBQ. The brisket ($8) was delicious. My husband had a burger ($7) and said it was good. The views are incredible. After we ate, we paid $5 for a sheers deposit and picked some sunflowers and zinnias. We then bought a few veggies and fruits from the roadside stand. The deposit was taken off the total. I'm sad we didn't get any ice cream, but we are definitely going to come back for the rodeo next year so we will have to try it then!“

“Every meal we have eaten at Stewie’s we absolutely loved, well done to all.You will enjoy healthy portions of soups, salads, sandwiches, and full platters, and even an incredible gluten-free pizza will hit their daily specials list throughout the month, so ask to see what may be available that day.Plenty of seating for a group of eight, great ambiance, and a very considerate menu to satisfy those selective eaters.“

“I have lived here for about 8 years now. This is by far the best place for deserts and ice cream, locally, better than all ice cream places around. If you want to eat food, bugers , etc, this place is great, too. This is great treat. All the ice creams are fresh, homemade, good stuff for ice cream. Clean and cute place to sit and eat or to hang outside in beautiful weather. The is young, but respectful and do thier best, even when it gets crowded and sometimes they run out of items, but there is alwys other options to chose from. My favorites are too many to mention, but my go to is peanut butter sundae. I coud go on and on. Check it out , just know , there will be lines most weekends, especially in summer. 5 stars!Wheelchair accessibility: They should work on this , but when I can't walk it is always nice to spend time in the car having ice cream with husband , and enjoying the view. I know this is a tough one to tackle, I understand, it's an old house.“

“The Raspberry ice-cream I had was the best I had in a long time and everything and every flavor we tried is amazing, if you are in the area you must stop here and see for your self. Did I mention that is home made ice-cream from the cows on their farm!!!“

“Stopped for ice I had banana cream pie ice cream and my companion had plain old vanilla. Both were good and reasonable priced. We both had size small that were huge. It's an old type ice cream stand that has been in Matamoras forever. My parents used to bring us when we were kids and I'm old as dirt. Would definitely recommend a visit.“

“Very cute and adorable setup at Cafe e Dolci in Franklin, NJ. Love the ambience and attention to detail in the decor. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. No other coffee shop in Sussex County could hold a candle next to them, as they have the broadest variety of beverages, food, pastries, and desserts. It’s not just coffee and breakfast sandwiches, it’s Cafe e Dolci.“

“Crystal Cafe has fresh delicious tasting salads. The staff are very friendly and there's never a long wait for food to come out! My only con is when i ordered breakfast a couple times some of my food was cold. It's still very delicious and i'll continue to eat here!“

“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.“

“Ordered Panini's, wraps and pastries for a celebration with my family. Rave reviews. Had many great lunches there also.Always have had great service, very friendly waitresses. I'm going to try breakfast next. Gio's is just a great place to go.“

“FRESH!! That's our takeaway!! The menu is extensive and tastefully imaginative. The service and staff were polite, professional, and efficient. The customer flow never stopped, and at times, the line went to the doors, whether to go or dine in. And despite this steady flow, the staff never missed a beat. They were clearly accustomed to this and worked well together. From the front end to the kitchen. They have it together. We sat and noticed how clean everything was. The floor, restrooms, counter, and what I could see behind it. Most tables were full, but empty were all clean. In less than 10 minutes, we had our shakes and burgers. They look wonderful. Just looking at it was a good thing. Nice presentation. But that first bite said it all! FRESH! And it clearly shows and tastes. What a great burger! Fresh vegetables, fresh bun, and fresh meat. What a great burger! Did I say that again? Well....Because it was! The fries were equally fresh and enjoyable. The shakes are nice and creamy as well. I'm 64 and retired with my background in fast food and restaurant management. It is apparent to me both from a customers point of view and understanding the other side of the counter and all it entails to run a successful food establishment that much time, though, and effort has gone into providing an above average, enjoyable meal, at a reasonable and affordable price that doesn't break the customer or the owners wallet. A very enjoyable experience in every way. Nice Job !!!!“

“After a long day of fun at the water park coming here after was the highlight of the trip. Sitting outside watching other families you saw around the water park drive in to get some ice cream to end their day. Just had such a nice nostalgic feel to it I can't properly explain. Anyway, great ice cream.“
