50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wood Ridge

“My boyfriend and I are love this ice cream 😍😍 5 star🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Love this location!! I'm not a big coffee drinker but this has become a frequently visited location for short breaks taken. This D&D is very clean, staff is friendly & there is not a lot of movement (customers). I think because of the location within Avalon at Westmont Station, traffic is very minimal and it is a peaceful place to enjoy coffee, food items. I particularly enjoy sitting on the comfortable sofa chairs.“

“Small little corner store on lower level of short hills mall. Can’t help but see the 20+ flavors available of chocolates. Plus fresh made gelato must of been about 15 flavors. I got the mango & strawberry in a cup. Lined with chocolate and nuts. Was awesome. Got to sample the milk chocolate as well. VERY GOOD…..“

“Todo lo que halla jajajaja muy rico“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“I had a fantastic experience! The store manager, was so attentive and cordial. I had no intention of buying anything and i ended up with a bunch of gelato and chocolate. Thank you, Devin!!

Parking: Easy to park. Its at the mall.“

“The place was impeccable and the staff were the most genuine I've encountered in NYC (Hard to find kind and genuine staff) Laura Fabian and Henry were incredible attentive and detailed in their service. Thank you for such a lovely experience for something as simple as an ice cream. Will visit that location again!“

“This spot is definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for some high-quality gelato. While the prices are on the higher side — we paid around $30 for two servings — the flavors and quality help justify the splurge. What really stood out were their unique and creative options, like pistachio, rosemary olive oil and rich hazelnut-based varieties, which you don't find everywhere. If you're a gelato lover looking to try something a little different and indulgent, this place is a solid choice. Just be prepared for boutique pricing.“

“Often local fruit sorbet from the union square greenmarket, such as Grape (fall), Strawberry, Berry Fruiti Di Bosco, and Apricot, seems more fresh and more natural. The traditional Italian Pistachio and Hazelnut are also very good, and all seem lower in sugar than other gelato and ice cream shops.“

“This place deserves five stars. The ice cream is delicious. The flavors are inventive (recommend the Thai iced tea, kaya, ube, Melona, sweet corn, blueberries and cream, banana milk, and passion fruit). The shop is generous about sampling. The staff is allergy-aware. And the service is always friendly...that is, until you ask for a cover for your cup. Please, please, please, PLEASE Sundae's Best owners - buy covers for cup sizes other than the large, and/or tell your staff that it's OK to plop the smaller cup into a large cup and throw a cover on there. We are your neighbors; we have been to the shop dozens of times; and we plan to visit dozens of times more - but we have small kids and small appetites, and we want to cover our ice cream to take home and put in the freezer. There is no reason for your staff to slam cups, make faces, or flat out refuse to cover ice cream that costs $23+ dollars for three servings. Every time - EVERY TIME - they have an issue just when we ask for a cover. For Pete's sake, this is a basic part of running an ice cream shop and ruins an otherwise wonderful experience EVERY TIME.“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“Excellent ice cream in a wide array flavors from the most conventional to surprising new ideas. Sparkling clean shop with professionally servers. Couldn’t have been more delighted with our visit.“

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!“

“We stopped in out of curiosity—just to see what they had—and ended up splitting two flavors of absolutely superb gelato! I started with a taste of walnut & fig (excellent), then we asked the server what his favorite flavors are. He said raspberry, which a lot of people pair with ferrero rocher. We chose raspberry as well as salted caramel, and loved every delicious taste of both flavors. It’s a tiny place, but well worth seeking it out.“

“delicioso helado para adultos, el local, muy bueno.“

“Love it the area is so welcoming and we didn’t have to wait long they recommended items and helped us pick our options scratchatela was very good. Would definitely recommend“

“All of the soft serve is amazing but i hella enjoyed their Woodside today! Ube with mochi and toasted coconut flakes was perfection!“

“A great ice cream shop open late to satisfy your munchies and late night sweet tooth cravings. I could not be happier with what i got, i think it was the strawberry cheesecake of some sort. It was really nice though, and they definitely do not skimp on the toppings!!“

“Finally went & was not disappointed. Just the treat I needed 😋😛“

“I'll definitely be back. The three non-dairy flavors i tried were all great, but I went with the P.O.G and another that was similar to almond joy. The owner was friendly and the seating area was comfortable. There's also outdoor seating available!“

“great variety... loved the ice cream“

“You don’t have to travel to Italy 🇮🇹 to taste the best and authentic Italian gelato in the city. Venchi is my favorite place if I’m craving for something sweet. Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Pleasant employees. Doesn't rush you out close to closing. Delicious Ice Cream. Prices reasonable.“

“This is the only reason I visit Chelsea Market when I am in town.“

“Place is awesome, and love their gelatos and sorbets. My mom loves the Fuji Apple flavored sorbet“

“Stopped by and had a strawberry green tea. Best of luck, guys.“

“Always a must whenever visiting the city! A person with a peanut allergies dream! Today we stopped by but the shop was closed for a private event, no worries tho because they served us our ice cream right outside in our car!! Felt so special and the kids were super excited!“

“The ice cream at Tipsy Scoop is amazing. Great flavors. I bought a flight and got to try 4 flavors all delicious. my favorite was the mango margarita sorbet. I definitely plan to go back.“

“Ice cream made with true passion and with a pinoy twist.“

“Had some cravings to eat something cold, Was here to get icecream. The quantity and quality of the ice cream stands out. Pretty much satisfied with the delicacy and flavors of the ice creams. Ambience was good and service was so impressive the guy handled the crowd in a subtle way.“

“Well located and easy to spot dessert place, making it a convenient stop while exploring the city. Despite its popularity, the service was impressively quick, allowing us to get our treats without a long wait. A pleasant surprise was the vegan ice cream selection—not a huge variety, but certainly more than the usual sorbet-only options found elsewhere. We opted for a single scoop of hazelnut chocolate chip in a cup, which was really tasty, though it had a slightly synthetic aftertaste. Prices were on the higher side, but given the tourist-heavy location, that was somewhat expected. Overall, provided a solid experience, and we’d happily return to try more of their offerings.“

“This place has long lines on sunny weekends, so I decided to try it on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors. I tried the coconut and the pineapple. Both were good.“

“Thanks for the yelp elite invite. In little part of town is a hidden gem. Must have past it numerous times. What a great experience! It was my first visit at New Territories, a Hong Kong inspired ice cream and dessert shop. When I walked in, I was greeted by nuz one of the workers there. Warm welcome & big smile.She was super informative about the menu and so much fun to talk to. Then I met the owner , Pete. Explained to me to story of the store pretty amazing. They are famous for their bubble waffles. Was hot and fresh with along with vanilla ice cream & sprinkles. I had the double lemon float with lemonade and lemon sherbet as well. Store was very clean. There was about 15 flavors of ice cream to choose from. Definitely will be going back. Was able to snap a photo with Pete as well… “”OFF THE RECORD… he made another waffle no charge. for me before I left… let’s say didn’t make it home. :) oh almost forgot they have amazing fresh cut fruit açaí bowls… sorry pete… the waffles got to me….“

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

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“This store is sooo cute and the chocolate is amazing. I like chocolate with nocciolo and it is very good there. Easy to get gifts, and staff super friendly and helpful.“

“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.“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“This visit may have been the highlight of my entire life to date. I ordered the cowabunga cream sundae and this young gentleman provided not only the sweetest treat but the friendliest and most delightful service I've received at any place of business. Would come here every day if I could ⏸️“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“Saw this on grubhub and since it was close by, decided to visit. Both burger and milkshake were excellent and done perfectly for my taste. Total cost was pretty good value and the space was clean and comfortable. Only drawback was that it was pretty busy, so order took a while and also I can see it might be difficult to get a seat during peak hours. Good thing most people are in and out pretty quickly. Also, there was a credit card processing fee if you choose to pay by card, which I thought was a bit uncommon in NY..“

“Great gelato! The flavors were very good and the gelato was delicious. The service was a little strange and not too welcoming, and they hesitantly gave me a sample. Other than that, great place and definitely recommend it.

Vegetarian options: Most all vegetarian

Parking: Parking garage of the mall, about $1/hour

Kid-friendliness: Kids love ice cream

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“I haven’t had Thai rolled ice cream in years, so this was a welcome surprise when we walked through the area. It was perfect for a reprieve from a hot and sunny day. We tried #7 (Crispy Mango) and #9 (Thai Lychee) and both were good, though I preferred the Thai Lychee.“

“What a wonderful nightcap to an evening in the city. Annie was awesome. Had a scoop of the limited edition latkes and apples. So rich, delicious, and clever. Had such a great experience we b grabbed a pint of the limited edition dill pickle ice cream to bring home. Can’t wait to try it“

“The Nasto's tartuffo is the best in the world!“

“I visited in June and tried the fish-shaped cones - absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend this place.“

“Best Grapefruit ice cream ♥️“
