50 Best Ice Cream Shops near West Caldwell

“Always delicious. I would highly recommend ordering a freshly made ice cream cake. Totally a different experience than picking up a frozen cake @ supermarket for not that much more. They need minimum 24 hrs notice 4 ice cream to set. Can also customize. I prefer no whip cream & instead get fudge & crunchies. Always fresh & delicious 😋“

“Ok so we ordered this on our lunch break and we just wanted to see what it would be like and OMG ! Amazing ! The KRONUT 10/10!!!!!!!!! This is the best donuts we ever had and not trying to be funny ! Also the strawberry shortcake is amazing as well!“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!! Made the experience that much better. Nice to see the spot were the final episode was filmed but if we lived closer we would come back for the food!! So glad David Chase picked Holsten’s!!“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Amazing and delicious - you need to go here as soon as possible!!! Best ice cream!!“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Everything we have had has been an A+ The UBE ice cream is my family’s favorite. My 4 year old has been obsessed with it since she was 2. It’s a great family experience and the owner Chona couldn’t be a nicer person. She goes above and beyond for me every time I go in there. I wish every owner had the same energy, respect, and friendliness that Chona has. All the workers are extremely helpful and friendly as well. I strongly suggest to give Kubo a try you won’t be sorry.“

“I came here because I love the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream brand that you buy at the store so I decided to come here they have a wide variety of flavors and I got the strawberry since that’s my favorite Haagen Dazs flavor the ice cream tasted good but it was really hard and did not taste as good as the pint it was still really good but it’s expensive so I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“Delicious ice cream with terrific service. The swirl cone was large and had a perfect mix of vanilla and chocolate taste. I chose rainbow sprinkles as a topping and it was a great choice. I have to bring my husband next time to try his favorite treat of all time chocolate milk shakes.“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“I stopped by after reading the reviews for the places' sweet treats. I wasn't feeling like having anything sweet, I ordered an iced americano with honey. Although I was skeptical that would be a good combination, it was refreshing on a hot day. The americano has a nice fruity and chocolaty flavor that the honey enhanced with a pleasant light sweetness. The cups they used are also a fun change of pace with yellow lids. The baristas were pleasant with friendly and quick service; they even offered me a soft serve sample with mango and vanilla flavors. If you need something light refreshing on a summer day, you'll be treated by the honey-infused selections.

If I were to come back here, I would try their Yemeni coffee selections and items that more prominently have Yemeni honey. Both items are staples in Yemeni cuisine, so please try it out here.“

“The best ice cream in the area. I would place some chairs and some sort of umbrella in the front or a bench simple, so people can seat, that could add a better atmosphere to the business. But the food is incredible delicious.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in NJ – Salaam Ice Cream Parlor is a Must-Visit
it’s a full experience. The place is vibrant, clean, and welcoming, with a unique cultural charm that sets it apart from your typical ice cream shop .
The ice cream in question? rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classic vanilla bean or want to try something new . every scoop is crafted with care and creativity. The waffle cones are crisp and honestly addictive.
What truly makes Salaam stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the community and the people who walk up to get icecream.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Salaam Ice Cream Parlor deserves a spot at the top of your list. It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a place that brings people together.“

“Delicious ice cream and great staff!“

“It's the bomb....great flavors and service...yeahhh“

“The lady working days here made my birthday! I wish I had gotten her name, but she was so sweet and so helpful. She made just what I wanted for my retro throwback birthday. I love Carvel, and this woman made me remember why I loved them as a kid.“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“Great ice cream and soup!“

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

Dietary restrictions: Hey Yogurt is very healthy conscious and uses all natural ingredients!

Kid-friendliness: The owner and staff are very kind friendly!!“

“Las hamburguesas 👍🏼 estaban riquísimos y las papas con tocino“

“The ice cream is delicious. You can tell that it's store made, and made fresh. Unlike most ice cream shops today that just buy their ice cream, you can tell the freshness in all of their ingredients.

It's especially a great place to go with the kids. They have a fenced-in area where the kids can play on the giant rocking chair or on the basketball court that they have in the fenced in patio.“

“We love this Carvel! The ice cream is always a hit — perfect treat for both kids and adults. The staff is consistently kind and welcoming, which makes every visit feel special. You can tell they care about their customers.

The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that the shop could really use a little facelift. A refreshed interior would make the experience even better, especially since the service and product are already great. Still, we keep coming back — and will continue to!“

“I have not physically been to their store, but have watched their TikToks and live stream.( J did an absolutely stunning job with the cakes she was making today. She did happy birthday cakes, to streamers, to a gory unicorn cake that represented a Halloween theme. She is very fast handed and very detail oriented when it comes to making those cakes come to life! She also went over how she makes roses on cakes as well which as her least favorite part, was my favorite part. It was pretty fascinating and captivating learning more about the art of cakes! We also were able to see her role from cake making, to her customer service abilities. In my opinion she was pretty kickass! She is very spunky and very funny. Mike has cultivated a very positive workplace where they have fun with the job, which is what it should be about. My strongest advise is don’t knock it till you try it for yourself! Don’t listen to others opinions until you have witnessed them, their cakes, and other goodies for yourself. Not everything online is what is seems! Go check them out!(:“
