50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Warren

“My wife and I had our wedding here a few weeks ago. We worked with Nicole throughout the entire process from touring the venue to the night of our event. Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was helpful, thorough and prompt in communication, and overall made the entire process easy and stress-free (rare when planning a wedding!).

The venue itself was perfect (we were on the Grand Ballroom side). The ceremony area outside was great because it was fully covered and sheltered from the weather. Even though it was pouring right before our ceremony, all the chairs that were set up were totally dry. The venue was able to provide a contingency in case the rain continued (which luckily it didn’t). They were proactive in preparing this and notifying us rather than us having to ask them for a rain plan, which we appreciated. The cocktail hour and reception ballroom areas were beautiful on their own and did not require much additional decoration. One thing our guests specifically highlighted on multiple occasions was that they appreciated being able to go outside and enjoy the patio area while still being able to watch and enjoy the reception program through the floor-to-ceiling windows. This is great for guests who have kids because the music can still be heard outside but at a much more comfortable level for children.

Amalia (bridal attendant) and Frank (maitre d’) were incredibly attentive and helpful on the day of the event. They made sure vendors got their questions answered, brought us food, checked in on us, and overall ensured that the event flowed well.

Overall, we highly recommend Stone House and had a very positive experience. We got numerous compliments from our guests on the venue as well.“

“I went to Rita's in Warren NJ May 29 2025. There was a group of about 12 people that had just been served and they all were enjoying their treats! The 2 young ladies that were working (it was around 7 pm)were so helpful and sweet to me after serving so many people. I live in Virginia so I don't visit one except when I go there. I will certainly return!!“

“Very nice,friendly. Tasty flavors and many choices to choose from.“

“could not recommend more. excellent variety of flavors, including vegan / dairy free. Idk how they make it but this is truly the best ice cream I've ever had in my 30 years of life. Sizes are generous and they have been careful with allergies while serving my family.“

“Superior quality ingredients result in an amazing Italian Ice. Couple that with the greatest staff (and owner!) and you’ve got a winner! If you haven’t tried it, get over to Metuchen and experience this amazing ice!“

“Just a little too overly cautious with the covid-19 for me but the ice 🧊 cream 🍦 was good prices and service pretty decent“

“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

“Today is Chocolate Milkshake Day! Wishing you a great day filled with sweet moments. 😊🥳😋“

“Fresh Tiki bar is, by far, the BEST ice cream shop around town! The facility is always “fresh” and clean and the owners are warm and welcoming! The decor is top notch-when you walk into the door you immediately feel like you are on a tropical vacation! Highly recommend Fresh Tiki Bar if you are ever on Main Street and are in need of a sweet treat!“

“Love their desserts and iced drinks. Sticky rice with coconut cream and mango is my comfort dish. I have ordered enough to be a little embarrassed. It’s that good.

Over all , great place for sweets and hours are perfect for late evening snack.“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“great ice cream so worth the wait“

“First of all, yum, secondly-they are so nice! The staff is super helpful and nice! Third of all-they have dog treats! Anytime I'm walking a dog by there and it's open I stop in to get the doggie a treat. Always, always, wonderful. Love this place!“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

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

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“An old fashioned ice cream spot with tables to sit at and enjoy a nice treat. They have an excellent small vanilla shake and they don't skimp on the whipped cream. It costs about $5 and the sizing is more equivalent to a medium. All of the ice cream tastes fresh. Although prices are higher than we are used to, the quality is worth the cost. They have parking on each side and if you want to sit and rest on a bench near a tree nearby they have that option. They could benefit from some nice planters in the front. I will be back for their excellent shakes during the summer.“

“The take out process is brilliant. Nothing better than a couple of quarts of McCools ice cream to have on hand! Order online and pick up at the curb.“

“The best in town!! Great staff, great prices. My favorite is the cherry vanilla gelati!!😋🍒“

“My daughter's birthday cake was delicious and beautiful. We received non stop compliments on the taste and how gorgeous it was. Karen went above and beyond to make sure all the details were correct and we had the cake in time. I can't wait to use Blue Sheep again for my next event.“

“I used to come here with my little girl. She’d consistently get a vanilla cone with cherry dip. That was her favorite. She’d always let me have a bite (in exchange for a bite of whatever I had, of course).

I love you Lilly“

“Yum for the whole family!!! They’ll blow you away with the flavors and large array of selections. Lexie crafted the tastiest most well balanced coke float I’ve had in a long while.👏🙌🙌👏 Be back soon!!“

“Been there couple of times already. Love the small-town cash-only hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cash-only could be inconvenience for some, but once you know the game, you’ll be ready with cash next time! Love both soft serve and hard ice creams. Friendly staff too.“

“love the bubble tea and general atmosphere“

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

“This place has amazing fro yo and is a very safe place to go during this pandemic. You order online and within minutes they deliver your yogurt to your car, taking proper precautions. They give your toppings and yogurt seperatly so you could mix and match anything!“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“Friendly environment, clean and delicious ice cream... What more could you ask for?“

“Saffron in Piscataway offers an exceptional Indian dining experience, blending authentic flavors with an elegant ambiance. The diverse menu, welcoming staff, and beautifully crafted dishes make it a must-visit for food lovers!“

“So my family ordered sundaes. We didn't realize how generous the portions were. The quality of the ingredients was very good. We took home what we couldn't finish. The young lady that took care of us was very quick and efficient. She definitely needs a raise.“

“Ice cream - both hard & soft-serve, ice pops, and other frozen treats with all the trimmings and toppings. They also have an eclectic mix of candies and toys, plus a few trinkets and gift items. Prices are comparably reasonable. Located right on Hamilton Street with plenty of on site parking. The service is outside (thru windows), so they're not always open on the colder days. But it's a great place to hang out on one of the benches when the sun is warm. It feels good supporting local business, too.“

“Humble establishment... she made my kids feel so welcomed... can't wait to go back... please visit 💛“

“Went here this afternoon and the gentleman at the window was so nice, patient and accommodating. He even has dog biscuits at the window for your pup! I don’t have a dog but I appreciate the gesture. I’m thinking he might be the owner but I’m not sure. Definitely 10/10 Will return!“

“Hands down probably the best ice scream I've tried in New Jersey. I was visiting from New York with a group of friends and we found this place on a whim just driving by and decided to check it out. I got the Honey Lavender ice cream, which was to die for. HIGHLY recommend!!“

“If you're looking for some good rolled ice cream in the area, then this is a really solid option. You can do tons of customization with your ice cream. The atmosphere inside the ice cream shop was bright, clean, and welcoming. The good thing is that there's a parking lot just across the street if you can't find parking on the main.“

“Really fun little spot at Berkeley Heights for a sweet treat on a hot day! The frozen custard is creamy and delicious, and the variety of Italian ice flavors is impressive. Service is quick and friendly — great for a casual stop with kids or friends. Just one heads-up: the Italian ice melts very quickly — mine turned into sugary water in no time. Still, overall a nice experience — just eat fast.“

“Updated Review
Response after speaking with the owner:
I received a phone call from the New Owners and the gentleman was very nice and apologetic. I have returned to the store and so far so good. Christian especially has gone beyond what I consider excellent customer service. This young man I see nothing but success in which ever career he chooses in his life. The owners are very fortunate to have an employee like Christian. He definitely is management material. I give the owners and especially Christian 6 stars along with some of the new employees.

Original Review
I wish I was able to leave a review without having to press 1 star. I have spent a nice amount of money at this store including leaving decent tips. I have done nothing but give good advice to young kids that either it's their first job or never worked in the food industry. Asking an employee to wipe the ice cream container or please fill the triple pint up all the way since it's so expensive $21 plus including extra toppings. Tonight and this past weekend again I did not get what i ordered through door dash. So I had enough and i called the store to voice my complaint, Instead I am accused of harassing employees by Avery the young manager. Talk about bad customer service especially from the Manager. He did nothing but defend himself along with the young kids that work there. All I asked for is to give me what I paid for and I would bring the container in to show him the next day. Avery swore the order was correct and that his employees get nothing but complaints about me harassing the employees. This is new to me. Asking the employee to fill the container up and please just wipe the outside of the container before putting it in a bag that's harassment when the employees should know better. Many times I have been kind and tipped well. It's definitely hurtful to be accused of harassment. I would like a phone call from the manager which I requested Avery to have him call me. So let's see if Avery gives the owner the message. If not he lost a good customer. And to the owner I suggest u have random friends and family members randomly go place some orders and see how your employees interact with the customers and handle the product you sell. You may think differently and see for yourself.“

“Un yogurt delicioso 😋Con mucha fruta y lo que quieras ponerle pues lo preparas a tu gusto me encanta ir a ese lugar“

“The ice cream and Italian ice taste the same at this location as every other location, which is good. The problem is the selection. I was just at a Ritas in Pennsylvania and they had at least 8 different soft serve ice cream flavors, including cake batter and pistachio among others. This location always only has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Pistachio is my favorite and I got that when I was in Pennsylvania. I also noticed the other Pennsylvania location had more Italian ice flavors as well.“

“I recently visited this spot wanting some ice cream after a hot day. The ice cream was very delightful and nailed the spot for what I was craving. The service was also amazing, I don't usually tend to leave reviews but this place had nothing but positive vibes, I really recommend everyone to check it out and I will for sure stop by this place again.“

“Just left there and met the owner. Everytime I stop there the Vibes are 💯💯💯. Service is ❤️❤️❤️. Seems like she cares or they care about heir employees. 😎😎😎😎😎Love“

“This place have some Amazing verity of flavors . They have so many verity of toppings also. Service is good . Price is average . They have some seating inside and outside of the store too. They also have a handful number of frozen yogurt too.“

“Amazing! I just found my favorite pizza shop! If you’re looking for traditional jersey pie, you’re going to be disappointed.“

“Customer service is outstanding! Thank you! We love our Oreo Cookie Cake!“

“I was seen very quickly by the staff and they answered all of my questions about sizes and specials. Kyle happened to be the gentleman who helped me. He was quick and polite. A real pleasure. I felt really bad that I was unable to tip him or the great staff there using my card. Knowing that most don’t carry cash after Covid-19 (because let’s be honest, money was dirty before the pandemic) it seems unfair that the staff is unable to get tips via another method. People who work customer service jobs deserve to be able to receive tips for making sure the customers are taken care of. Thank you so much to the staff for always being polite and quick with every order we requested.“

“The ice and gelato are terrific“

“We had a great experience for our son’s birthday party! Responsive, reliable, and affordable!“
