50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Woodland Park

“Made a phone order for a custom photo cake this past weekend. The manager who, both at phone call and while I was picking up, always prioritizes the service of the customers in front of her. She called back to take the order less rushed and she really made me feel like whomever she is helping she is giving her full attention to provide a good service. It was easy working with her to customize the perfect cake for my sisters birthday. We were blown away! She loved her cake and our family loved the extra crunchies! We haven’t really bought Carvel cakes since our childhood years and we might start doing it again more often and with this shop specifically! Thank you!“

“This place is fantastic! Real quality gelato. My favorite flavor is the dark chocolate. Mariana and Selena working behind the counter are superstars! Very friendly and personable and they really get you excited about the gelato they are preparing for you. Excellent service! Thank you Mariana and Selena! We will be back!“

“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!“

“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!!“

There’s also plenty of space inside, with tables where you can sit and enjoy your treat. A cozy spot for a sweet break! 🍦✨“

“I first found this place through their stall at the Bergen Town Center, and I've been a customer ever since. They have so much sweets-wise from fruity drinks, sundays and so many fresh baked ube treats that are worth picking up. Personal favorite is their ube tres leches but anyone visiting should come back and work their way through their menu.“

“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….“

“This is an outstanding place to get ice cream. Not only do they have a large variety of delicious ice creams, but they also offer a number of really high quality dairy free ice creams AND toppings! We had a very nice time. I had the brown sugar cookie dough, which was very good, and he had a dairy free sundae with dairy free chocolate sauce. We can't wait to get back!“

“Try their Milk Teas served hot! They also have alternative milk options, oat/almond, etc so be sure to ask for your dietary needs. The red velvet cookie was amazing, their was an Oreo baked inside?!

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“Gelato Rice balls calzoni“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“Awesome Gelato and Outstanding Service every time! I had the Affogato paired with the Hazelnut Gelato, and it was absolutely amazing. The Sorbetto Was Delicious!! The Cookies are also Good and make a great treat on the side. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!“

“The ice cream was delicious but two people in my party got huge sundaes and they took about ten minutes to make. I felt horrible for the people behind us. I think a queue would be more appropriate than going and hoping you don’t behind the wrong people. Servings are more than generous but they’re packed into the container so tightly that on a hot day, it spills over the sides as soon as someone digs in. There’s also nowhere to sit A few small tables or benches would be nice.“

“Great coffees and nice staff“

“The most amazing experience ever. Can’t say enough. Both Mary and Philip are the sweetest and were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I had a Valentine’s event on feb15th which needed to be rescheduled to the 22nd and I canceled the order last minute for 30 boxes of chocolate covered strawberries. They didn’t charge me a single cent. I got the same order for the following week and they did an absolutely amazing job. The BEST CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES EVER!!!! I highly recommend them and they have loyal customer for life ❤️❤️“

“This business is top notch and made my experience ordering a cake for my mom's birthday so easy and pick up was very smooth. Highly recommended, even if you are just stopping through town!“

“delicioso 🤤 buena atencion 🎉“

“Malibu with cherry Italian Ice. May I saw the service is above & Beyond. Fast and very respected. Makes the customer feel good and its a guarantee of coming back with the entire family and share with others. Lots of different choices and there are little tables to eat outside the ice cream shop. I will say a family in front of me: the mama dropped her ice cream by mistake while carrying the others for her children and they literally gave her a brand new one with no charge! Other places they will charge 😆 but not Ralph's so go check them out this summer you wont regret it. 😉“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at SOMA Sweets, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience!

From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. The space itself is charming and perfect for a kids’ celebration - bright, fun, and full of sweet details that made the day feel extra special.

What truly stood out, though, was the owner and her team. Their kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. They went above and beyond to make sure every child felt included and had a great time. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

The activities were engaging and age-appropriate, keeping a group of excited 10-year-olds happily entertained (no small feat!). And of course, the sweets and ice cream were absolutely delicious - beautifully made and a huge hit with both kids and adults.

SOMA Sweets made everything feel easy and seamless. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the celebration alongside my daughter, which is the greatest gift.

If you’re looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized place to host a birthday party, I wholeheartedly recommend SOMA Sweets. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you, Monica and team, for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable!“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“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!(:“

“I love going to Curly’s Ice Cream! The ice cream there is amazing! I like the vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. 👍👍👍“

“Really nice, polite and courteous staff members. Very well recommended!“

“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.“

“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“
