“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.“

“I love all the flavors I’ve tried so far, but the Graham Central Station is incredible!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“friendly staff, delicious ice cream and beautiful Christmas trees!“

“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!!“

“This ice is great! And the family service is amazing! Thanks for your help in getting me started with my cart.“

“My husband and I stopped for Ice Cream today for the very first time. I had the peanut butter vanilla it was amazing loaded with peanut butter premium ice cream. So many flavors to choose from Owner is so pleasant the store is immaculate. The Speak Freezy also offers sugar free options. I would give this business 10 stars!!! Guarantee we will be back.“

“Always had great service and italian ice.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Big portions and super fresh ice cream! Service staff rocks!“

“Love the place Great selection Great service“

“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“

“Stopped by ZRolls Ice Cream in downtown Summit on a sunny Saturday afternoon—perfect timing for a cool treat after strolling Springfield Avenue. Tucked at 452 Springfield Ave., the shop has a vibrant, modern vibe with colorful signage and a window where you can watch the magic happen. It's a fun spot for families or anyone craving something Instagram-worthy, and the outdoor seating is a nice touch on good days.
Their specialty is Thai-style rolled ice cream, made fresh to order with customizable bases like vanilla or mango, plus mix-ins (think Oreos, fresh fruits, or mochi) and toppings. I built my own roll with a strawberry base, mixed in brownie chunks and strawberries, then topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle—$9 well spent. It was creamy, not too sweet, and the rolling process added that cool, theatrical element. My kiddo loved their Cookie Monster roll (blue vanilla with cookies), which was a hit for the vibrant color and fun texture. The staff was super friendly and efficient, explaining options patiently even during the lunch rush.
A couple of small gripes kept it from a perfect score: The wait was about 15 minutes since everything's made fresh, which is understandable but a bit long if you're in a hurry. Portions are generous but the price adds up if you're getting extras—could feel pricey for a quick dessert. Also, it was a tad sticky inside from the summer heat, though the AC was blasting.
Overall, ZRolls brings a fresh twist to ice cream in Summit—delicious, customizable, and entertaining. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby, especially for the unique rolls you won't find at your standard scoop shop. Planning to go back for their seasonal flavors!“

“I visited Icy Melon in Edison for the first time a few weeks ago, and it was a pleasant surprise. The environment is quiet and low key, which makes it easy to relax but the seating could definitely use an upgrade. It’s not the coziest spot to linger, but the food more than makes up for it.

I had one of their signature crepes, and my friend tried the matcha crepe cake. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

We didn’t wait long for our order, which was a nice bonus. You can tell they put care into both flavor and aesthetics in their food.

While the vibe is more functional than cozy, Icy Melon is perfect for a quick dessert run or a casual catch up with friends. If you’re craving something sweet and photogenic, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Swirl is still my favorite but cakes did look amazing“

“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“

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

“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“

“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!!“

“Great place, with a great variety! My dad is allergic to dairy, and they had a few options for him. I loved that the staff was so accommodating and still tasted amazing.
cash only so make sure to bring cash! Had places to sit and Parking“

“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 have been eating tofutti cream cheese and sour cream for years. They are the closest and most delicious plant based options for both. I also use them in cooking and they melt well and still retain their flavors and consistency. Absolute power houses of versatility. They made going vegan so much easier.“

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

“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 enjoy the mango Italian ice 💕💕 Loved the music and ambiance’s Great for families“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This place is just amazing! There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different. Everything we got was delicious- we all tried each other's dishes. There's a little bit of everything to satisfy even the pickiest eater. I would just drive her (over a 2 hour drive for me) just to come eat here. I need this place closer to home, lol.“

“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.“

“I have called and placed an order a few times this year..every call the people were happy and professional. my orders were always on time and correct!. the Italian ices are exactly from my childhood. I'm really happy this business is still around!. thank you to Mike and everyone else who makes this business what it is!!..“

“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.“

“I highly recommend this store location. Keith was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with my order. I had it sent as a gift and it was a big hit!“

“Haagen-Dazs is good place for ice cream. Always like their ice cream. Good thing is you can try flavors before You buy some place don’t want to do that . Employees are friendly. Reason I gave 4 star because some items are overpriced. You can get their products cheaper in other store like shop rite , stop & shop .“

“Not sure what all the bad comments are about - I've been here twice and both the ice cream and service has been great every time. I have a slight suspicion of why there's so much hate but I won't go there - instead, I'll speak on my experience.

Not only do they have classic flavors (chocolate, vanilla, double chocolate), but they have exotic flavors (lychee, a few spices) that are done extremely well, and some classic Baskin Robbins-like flavors (rainbow, cookie monster) that don't taste synthetic like Baskin Robbins. In terms of texture, the ice cream and even the sorbets are creamy. There was maybe one bite where I felt some ice flake but that's about it.

Also, they let you try as many samples as you want! The prices are also very fair - two scoops, medium size, for $5.“

“I am writing this review for the Baskin Robbins located within the Dunkin Donuts.I recently contacted this location to order an ice-cream cake for my brother's graduation from college.The woman I texted with to place the order was extremely accommodating and responsive.Further, the cake was not only delicious, but it was beautifully decorated, far beyond my expectations. The woman carried the colors I had requested for the wording throughout the entire cake, from the flowers to the icing bordering the cake.I would absolutely recommend this Baskin Robbins!“

“gelatis!! ☺️ are the best thing!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“
