Rolled ice cream joint. The positives are that the ice cream tastes good, and is reasonable value for 8.5 People mention unlimited toppings but no one in front of us seemed to take advantage of this (people just stuck with the standards), so not sure if this is really a thing. My main issue with this place is that its Understaffed. They just had 2 employees, so each ice cream took forever to come out. There weren't a lot of people in front of us in line, and we still waited about 30min from arriving till we had the ice cream. For that reason alone I will not return. Note they were good about letting people know about wait times.

We were just looking to get out of the house for a few hours on Saturday and stopped in a few different ice cream shops around Montclair, but the menus weren't really what we were looking for before finding Absolute Zero. Even though the line was to the door, it went pretty quickly. We waited about 15 minutes for our ice cream. The staff is super friendly and prices are reasonable, especially for the effort they put in to make everything perfect. Definitely recommend and would return!

Very delicious ! Great options , a lot of variety . Very hospitable. Ingredients were fresh.

Really good ice cream! Not too sweet and it's perfect. I highly recommend to try. Very refreshing on a hot day.

First things first, the service was awesome! The lady who greeted us and offered recommendations was so helpful and nice. She was able to suggest some of her favorite flavors, including the ube and Vietnamese coffee. Second, all of the ice cream that we got was so delicious and creamy. I got the Oo-Bae-Bae (ube and coconut flakes), my boyfriend got the Camp & Chill (graham cracker and chocolate), and my friend got the Dream Team (strawberry, banana, and nutella). Finally, to top it all off (literally), the toppings were UNLIMITED. I really appreciated that they had such a wide variety of toppings, such as pocky, mochi, and condensed milk. Seating was also easy, since the shop was pretty spacious and had several open tables. I would definitely recommend, and I would come here again.

$8.50 for standard cup with unlimited toppings! I got the matcha strawberry, which was delightful although was hoping for more than just one strawberries to be mixed in... but taste and presentation wise it delivered! My mom enjoys rolled ice creams moreso and she was happy with the choice as well, not overtly sweet but incredibly creamy! The interior of shop is a little dated but workstations were clean, staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient. Looking forward to my next visit here!

The are not messing around here. All orders are customized and absolutely delicious. The wait can be a bit long but believe me it is worth it. The inside is also clean and has a cute vibe. This place is worth a trip. I have no notes.

Here I am, again...like always, and forever because I love them!!!! THE BEST ICE CREAM EEEEEVVVEERRRRR! The area is small, but families and couples fit. Service is very friendly and upfront. The ice cream is made from home made recipe that is unique. Also, you can add many other ingredients like berries, cereal, and marshmallows to Matcha. The final touch is the fresh freeze roll which makes it practical and enjoyable to eat! Enjoy!

A few days ago, my coworker recommended Absolute Zero to me. I'd passed by the storefront so many times, but never went in. While I was in Montclair this afternoon, I decided to stop in and check it out. This was my first time trying rolled ice I cream and *mind blown emoji* it was good! I ordered #3 (Camp and Chill). "Tastes just like a s'more" Plus, added bonus with the toasted marshmallow on top. Now I have to come back and try their other ice cream numbers, and treat my partner to the vegan ice cream they have there, too. If you haven't tried it, you should. Totally worth it!

This small rolled ice cream spot is not to be missed. They have a bunch of suggested combos or you can do your own. The bad news is that it is $8 (one size) yet it's a big portion to share. The ice cream tastes deliciously fresh and flavorful. There are a few tables so you can certainly enjoy your ice cream there or take it to go.

The staff here are extremely friendly and personable. If you ever have a question or are unsure what to order they take the time to help you and you will never get an attitude for asking questions. Every flavor is so unique and different, I was surprised how each order is made fresh right in front of you. Amazing quality and flavor. It's a small shoppe with a homey feel. It's great and tasty whether you are there to eat in the or takeout. No matter what flavor you get you will be amazed.

I never really liked rolled ice cream because I would find that it tasted like nothing or freezer burn BUT for some reason this place makes it taste sooo good. I always get the hulk smash (matcha) flavor and I love that you can select unlimited toppings for your ice cream. There is a good amount of seating and the staff is incredibly friendly as well! Definitely recommend!

Vivian L.

The rolled ice cream here is pretty good, and I appreciate the various options and toppings you can get for one order. They only have one size, so be aware! I got the Vietnamese Cofee with banana and condensed milk and I liked the texture of the ice cream - I've been to other places and the texture is too chewy and this place knows what they are doing. Overall, the 2 workers were really nice and patient with my indecisiveness and recommended toppings that would go well with my base ice cream flavor. Overall, I would come here again, for sure!

I went with the three-scoop option for $9. I've been here three times during the summer, and today…read morewas my fourth visit, now at the beginning of fall. After giving this place several chances, I keep having the same issue: the flavor selection just isn't very exciting. They do rotate a few seasonal flavors--I noticed a new pumpkin one today--but otherwise, it feels like I'm looking at the same limited choices every time I come in. Nothing really makes me say, "Wow, I have to try that." Today I went with the Cherry Vanilla and strawberry, Unfortunately, it was another disappointment. I was expecting actual pieces of cherry or some real fruit throughout the ice cream, like I've had at other ice cream parlors, but it was basically just flavored cream. Very plain. For around the same price, I've been to other places with much more creative flavors, better variety, and ice cream loaded with real fruit and ingredients you can actually see and taste. One thing I definitely appreciate is that they're open until around 10 p.m. on weeknights. These days, that's actually a big plus, especially for a local spot. I respect that they're willing to keep the staff there later because not everybody finishes work at 5 or 6 p.m. Sometimes you just want to stop somewhere after a long day, grab some ice cream, and relax without having to rush before closing time. That convenience deserves some credit. I really wanted to like this place, which is why I kept coming back and giving it another chance. Happy fall, everyone!

The bad: -The store is small and awkwardly arranged - the…read morefolks being served and waiting to pay block the view of the freezers so it's impossible to see the current flavors and decide what to order if you're waiting in line - they badly need a sign on the wall with the flavors (and they're constantly changing them) - this would speed up the whole flow of the store -It's not a great value for the portion size AND some trips, depending on who is working, you get a smaller portion - they need to work on portion consistency - also, you seem to get less in a cup then a cone -This summer every time I went, much of the product was droopy and semi-melted - the freezers couldn't keep up with the summer heat - they need to address that -Many of the flavors are experimental and not all are winners - make sure to ask for a taste if you're going into uncharted flavor territory The good: The gelato is the perfect texture (when at the proper temperature) and the flavors are strong and mostly excellent.

It does feel a bit unwelcoming. The 3 inside tables block the walkway to the start of the line, so…read moreI had to squeeze past two families to wait my turn. There's also a printed sign proclaiming a limit of 2 samples, which is not enough; they have like 20 flavors. That said, I felt my mint chocolate chip was perfect: creamy and minty. The small size was $8 for a cup (and would've been +$1 for a waffle cone). I fully agree with other posters about how the staff is not nearly excited enough to be working in a gelato shop. Are their managers that bad?
