Ice Cream Shops near Watchung

“Had a very lovely trip to the store. Was attended to by Micheal and he really took the time talk with us and show us the merchandise. Took time to get our full order with no rushing and even enrolled us in the rewards program for a free chocolate. Chocolate is very tasty and worth the cost, great for gifts and they also sell mini chocolate that is very well priced.“

“Icy Melon is a dessert lover's paradise, and our recent visit was nothing short of delightful.

He effortlessly guided us through the menu, sharing his personal recommendations and ensuring we found the perfect treat to satisfy our cravings.But what truly impressed us was Surya's attentiveness to all customers. Despite the bustling atmosphere, he effortlessly managed to engage with each person, offering suggestions, answering questions, and ensuring everyone felt valued and appreciated.The desserts themselves were a symphony of flavors and textures, each bite bursting with freshness and creativity.But beyond the delectable treats, it was Surya's genuine warmth and dedication that left a lasting impression.

“Quick stop here for ice cream, on a week night. Great variety of flavors and lots of seating. I got the strawberry buttermilk: roasted strawberries, buttermilk and house sweet strawberry honey balsamic jam...so good, love the jam running through it and not stingy with it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back.“

“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!“

“Ice cream was amazing! Peanut butter pie! The young girl who helped me was a different experience. I don't know if her house just burned down or some terrible tragedy because she didn't smile, didn't even look at me, nor speak and abruptly walked away right after I paid. No spoons. She looked very upset and something was obviously very wrong. Very very bad customer service but it was that bad I can only assume something horrible happened to the staff person because otherwise there's no way someone acts like that.“

“The Stirling Fountain is a great new addition to the neighborhood. When we drove up there were a lot of people sitting outside enjoying their ice cream and the line inside was out the door. We initially hesitated whether we had the time to wait and luckily decided to go in. The line moved so fast, and everyone working behind the counter was incredibly friendly. The portion sizes are better than most ice cream shops and they have a great selection of flavors. I highly recommend visiting. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Let’s start off with how clever the name of this place is. I wish that the mochi doughnuts were a lil more gummy texture (that’s just my preference) it didn’t taste fresh. Other than that the flavor on top was very delicious. The flavors were strawberry cheesecake, matcha, milk&cookies, tiramisu; blueberry & taro. The Kdogs were amazing especially the sauces they have out by the entrance.. top tier! Definitely coming back for the Kdogs!“

“Today, I had the BEST Italian ice in my life. It was the best blend of flavors and each bite made me want more. The strawberry-guava was delicious and a great way to end my lunch date. I cannot wait to try the other flavors. One of my friends had the chocolate flavor and was blown away by the flavor. I loved everything about this business(Italian ice, store setup, seating area). The pictures on the wall and the floor tiles reminded me of home and growing up. Summer was tough for me with the loss of my mom and this flavor (plus shop) made me smile. Flavor reminded me of her. Thank you to owners. I will be back. To anyone reading this, just go.“

“I'm lactose intolerant...This place is worth the stomachache. Their Hershey ice cream is to die for. They serve sundaes and cakes and an apple pie cake? Like I've never heard of that, and it's killer. The owners of the place are such kind people and the workers are extremely patient and helpful. I would go here again 100%.“

“Cozy shop with really cute aesthetics. They do soft serve on tea and have ice cream! The teas are reasonably priced. The matcha was very good. Toppings choices aren't as numerous as other places but that's ok because they have ice cream.Parking: It's a little tight since it's the strip malls part of Edison. There's a light to make a left out of it so it's not very hard to get out. Just not very many spots. Unknown if there's parking in the rear“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

“Super good! Me and my siblings went during the night a few weeks back when it was really nice out and the place was packed!!! The workers were super attentive and very apologetic about the wait time (which we understood since it was INSANE) the ice cream was absolutely delicious. I got the baileys flavor and was blown away by it! I will be coming back as much as my bank account and doctor will allow ? I highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to have great service and amazing ice cream.“

“I've been in here a twice since they opened and this place is great. They have a wide selection of bubble tea options as well as ice cream (rolled) and other snacks. The first time I came, I got the lychee slushie with tapioca boba, which was really good. Next I got the chocolate chip rolled ice cream with m&m's, which was pretty good too. The owner is very friendly and actually remembered me when I came in the second time (maybe a month in between visits). They have a loyalty punch card for ice cream and drinks and several games in their retro seating area. There are some old school games and a little plastic axe throwing area which would be fun for kids. If you're looking for a yummy treat, give this place a try. It's their second location and the owner is very friendly, serving up tasty treats.“

“Love the tomato pie and the funghi pie. Add hot honey and it elevates them even further. I never used to be much of a pizza person. This place has me craving it. The freshness and quality of products are noticeable. Owner and staff are also very kind!“

“On the way home, I accidentally saw the crowd in front of his door and entered. I waited a while for the queue to come, but since the number of employees was high, the turn came quickly. I ate cookie, vanilla and lemon ice cream. Afterwards, the ice cream was delicious among the chocolate biscuits. the employees are friendly and very friendly. I'll be back soon to try other flavors. (masculine)“

“Great ice cream, friendly kids, working there this year, and willing to accommodate food allergies by changing their gloves, opening up a clean container of ice cream and using a clean scooper. We appreciate this very much and will patronize as often as possible.“

“Best soft serve I have ever had!!! Honestly... I can't say enough good things about this place. To say I was pleasantly surprised I'd an understatement. I got a soft serve swirl with cookie dough bites and it was delicious. The ice cream is perfectly creamy, and the vanilla had an almost marshmallow-y taste to it. It also sort of reminded me of the cream inside an Oreo. Perfectly balanced between creamy and cold- it didn't taste watered down or too "Icy". My mom and my 16 month old also agreed. (Ok, my mom agreed. My son was a fan but he doesn't quite understand just how good it was yet.) My son didn't finish his, so we brought it back with us to upstate NY. Yes, it was good enough to save in the freezer at our hotel and then to shlep back home so I could enjoy one more time. And also so my husband could try it since I couldn't stop raving about it. Also worth noting- I'm very impressed at their variety. They have lots of soft serve and hard ice cream flavors. I hope I have another work trip that brings me back, cause I will be dreaming of this ice cream until then!“

“This review is seriously overdue, I love coming here! If I could give them more stars I honestly would. I love supporting local businesses vs. corporate places when I can. They have soo many flavors, great service and always very clean. Its also in a really great part of town which is very convenient for me. My personal favorite menu items there are the CUTEST little home made chipwiches and the shakes (I always request Paul make the shake if he’s there) its soo good! Definitely recommend. The cakes are great as well, I got one for my friend’s birthday recently, everyone loved it!“

“We ordered the new Ultimate Cookie Blizzard and it was amazing! We even met the owner, Lou, and his daughter, Donna, and they were great to chat with. We sat outside, enjoying our Blizzards. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors as well as parking.“

“Stone house is a nice restaurant for cocktails and dinner. The ambiance is amazing, service was great. The food was portioned well and reasonably priced for a higher end restaurant. The food itself was good but nothing spectacular. Ordered the porterhouse which was slightly over cooked and the short rib which was a little dry. Would definitely recommend the restaurant, especially in the warmer weather when the patio will be open.“

“Place is very clean, food is absolutely delicious and their smoothies are amazing. I get this around 3-4 times per week and have only good things to say about this place. Food comes out fast and their delivery prep through Ubereats is very good as nothing is ever spilledParking: Parking is a bit tough as it is on a very busy street. If you go around the block towards supremo supermarket you’ll be able to find a wider variety of parking.“

“This place has got an amazing ice creams. I have tried chocolate blackout. It’s my absolute delight. I would definitely come back again though they have a many ice creams but I haven’t tried. definitely I would go back to try other flavours. I have visited on Saturday night. The place is little messy with flies around. It was not a pleasant experience but but sure their ice cream are.“

“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!“

“Multiple options of types, sizes and toppings for ice creams both soft serve and scoops. They handle the queue pretty well, the place is cash only. Soft serve was really good and the cookies and cream scoop was good as well. Nice for a post meal ice cream run..“

“What a great ice cream shop!! We live bringing our grandson here when we’re in town! We recently purchased an ice cream cake that was absolutely perfect!! No dry cake filler just ALL ice cream! You can pick two flavors. When ordering, she was very patient and helpful! This is definitely one of our “go to” places!!!“

“I messed up and never finished booking with them for the preschool that I run. I didn't realize until day of, and thought I was going to have over 100 disappointed children and 30 disappointed teachers. Rasheedah allowed me to book day of and showed up on less than 3 hours notice! She saved the day! Everyone was happy with their yummy ice cream treats! Thank you so much Rasheedah! I promise I will remember to book in advance for next summer!“

“I highly recommend Magliones Italian ice (makers of Little Jimmys) to any who want to start an Italian Ice business! Before we formed our own company (Sea Breeze Italian Ice), we were selling Little Jimmys, under their name and logo. We still use their ice to this day, and will continue to do so, as long as we starve Ice! They make the best Italian ice in the entire industry, and everyone living here in ** who grew up in the ** area, knows that name!“

“I’m giving 5 stars although I did not like what I saw tonight. I was in line with my kids and this man with his wife and kid were at a window. The man was yelling at the employee and from the beginning he had a very nasty attitude. Even if something was wrong he had no right to scream at this young girl who was trying to help him. Never in the years i’ve come to this rita’s have I seen someone act this way especially with the amazing workers they have. Props to the other girls inside who tried to laugh it off.“

“We have been enjoying this gem of an ice cream shop for decades. Nick and his family treat you like part of their family. The ice cream is homemade. The cones are homemade. The brownies are homemade. There is a theme here. You are in for a gastronomic desert delight! Get to Magic Fountain today! I promise you will want to come back again and again! So many flavors and so little time. Thank you Nick and family for keeping the tradition alive! God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!“

“This is a cite place. Didn't know about it. You can be served inside or out. There is a decent size seating area to eat. They have a great selection of ice cream and toppings. I'm usually a sprinkle guy but decided to try the cotton candy and simple soft serve vanilla. It was really good. I do plan on going back for the hard serve ice cream, seeing as there are flavors there I have not seen and would like to try.“

“I saw this place and wanted to try it out. I got the vanilla with peanut butter and caramel add in and graham cracker topping. You can have up to 5 toppings. The ice cream was pretty good. Once he was done it was pretty hard. I had to let it soften a little. I would recommend this place. I definitely want to go back.“

“I ordered a custom sheet cake for my daughter’s birthday and the store did a great job. We had a design and swapped one of the flavors out from their originals. The additional costs were very reasonable and the cake looked great! We live a bit far so I couldn’t come in person to order it but was able to communicate with the owner via email and phone. We were super happy with it and would definitely order from them again.“

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience! The fusion of bubble tea and coffee offerings here is a match made in heaven. From the moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me.Their bubble tea selection is extensive, offering a delightful range of flavors that cater to both traditionalists and adventurous taste buds. The tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy, providing that satisfying texture I always look for in a good bubble tea.“

“I stopped by on a Saturday and chatted with the lady at the counter for a while - super friendly and glad to have stumbled across this place.The ice cream was fairly standard, being so close to the theatre and center of Dunellen its in a good location“

“I was honestly quite surprised about this place. We were having a going away party for a coworker and planned on ordering pizza from another place but they had some issues with their equipment. So we decided to give this place a try. We ordered 2 large cheese pizzas, pepperoni and a veggie pizza. The pizza wasn't bad at all. The veggie and one cheese pizza were completely gone. There was only half left of pepperoni and other cheese. I tried the plain and pepperoni and quite honestly they weren't bad. Staff were very polite. It's quite a combination of being ice cream and pizza. And the only drawback is that they don't sell pizza by the slice. That would be better if they did.“

“As previously mentioned. Parking on the street just outside of the entrance before checking in. It’s best to show up just before your appointment. There is no parking on site or anywhere near. The employees were great to deal with and they unloaded me within 45 minutes.“

“I don't know if Mayberry had an ice cream shop in the Andy Griffith show, but if it did it would be called Hi-Tams ice cream. And just like in Mayberry you would get some of the creamiest ice cream, that would be the center of the town's sweet tooth heart. That little walkway out front holds so many memories from generations upon generations of Somerset County residents. And if you get to peek your head inside the little window and see some of the décor on the walls, the old posters, the little television in the corner playing some TV show that nobody can watch because they're always so darn busy... It's a slice of American life, The American ice cream shop.“

“I like visiting this location of 16 handles on the Rutgers livi campus. The place is always clean, and has friendly staff. There is limited service as the frozen yogurt is a self serve situation. You're able to pick your flavors and toppings and then pay by weight. Seating is variable depending on when you go. If it's during peak hours during the school year then it may be hard to find a spot to sit inside and eat. But overall great spot to satisfy your sweet tooth!“

“I love Rita's no matter which location, however I need to leave a review for the staff here. Two young ladies, one with a ponytail and a huge smile who was so good with everyone she served. Funny and charming and legitimately enjoys her job.“

“Great Italian ice with custard, many flavors and good quality. Friendly service. Nice milkshakes. The only problem was no seating at all, also the location is not super inviting but you can have a stroll to the nearby Whole Foods while eating the ice cream.“

“Ice cream was good, but that wasn’t what earned this 5 star review. The service was absolutely incredible and deserves far more than 5 stars. The attention to detail and performance from the worker who assisted me was outstanding. The care and thoughtful professionalism will keep me coming back for years to come! The worker named olivia is genuinely the best server I’ve had in my 42 years of life, truly amazing. THANKS CARLS CORNER!“

“1st time here and everything seems very good but they had run out of what seemed like half the menu (3 ice creams and the cups for the floteas) so we were limited to what we could get but the stuff we did wind up getting was very good! Will definitely be coming back again.Parking: On street parking only I believe so be wary.“

“The owner has always been so sweet. I started going there when I was younger. She was always so friendly. My favorite has always been cotton candy, gummy bears, hot fudge, and marshmallow sauce. The friendly face, ice cream options, and baked goods are always the best.“

“I think majority of children and parents alike are familiar with Rita's and itheir menu servings. This place is certainly a go to spot on hot day！So if you are not an ice cream fan, well try the custard! What refreshing and light taste! And of course their signature Italian ice, I love the mango! The price is fairly reasonable but when it comes to a hot ? day, this is a no brainer. Sorry Doc, I bent the rules a bit today ?“

“I went here to get icees because honestly, Rita's just doesn't do it for me. Let me tell you, this place has the BEST icees I've ever had! I ordered a few flavors because I wasn't sure which I'd like....they were all amazing!!!! The mango flavor had actual bits of mango in it! I wish they were closer to where I live, but if you live far, it's worth a trip!!!!“

“Incredibly patient customer service - which is necessary when you're petty much a kid in a candy store. The hot chocolate was delicious. Nice and rich. Their selection of products was just so vast. There's nothing like being confused about which of their chocolate covered pretzels to choose from. Their white chocolate items are a hit too, Go!“
