Excellent delicious homemade icecream!! Friendly college kids always in a good mood when serving me there. Free samples if you're unsure of a flavor, just ask! I only wish you made more flavors sugar free for the diabetes community read more

First time here and the last time. Nothing compared to my fave down the shore ice cream - Cookman Creamery. I had the rocky road and sea salt caramel chunk which was caramel with chocolate chunks and it was ok, I've had better store ice cream. I'm somewhat of an ice cream snob and compare it to my fave ice cream shop I go to every summer (although they are open year round). Rocky road was the better of the 2 flavors I tried here (& my personal favorite flavor) but I had tasted 2 mini marshmallows in the 2 scoops they gave me at the bottom of the subpar caramel chunk ice cream. Service was fine, there was a short line but in the beginning of April it wasn't as bad as I could imagine it could get at other times of the year. read more

Ordered: Cider Donut Sundae (~$15): Dutch Apple ice cream layered with fresh apple cider donut crumbles and caramel, topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a homemade cider donut, served in a keepsake Applegate glass Aya's take: Is it even Autumn if you haven't had an apple cider donut!? Applegate Farms will do you one better with their Cider Donut Sundae. It's exactly what it sounds like - sweet, spiced, and creamy. It was actually super satisfying especially with the layers of apple cider donut crumbles throughout. I love that it comes with a whole apple cider donut too that you can munch on while enjoying the sundae. The caramel was a bit too thick and made it harder to eat but other than that, it was a good try. It's massive so I definitely suggest sharing among 2-3 people and don't forget to take that keepsake glass home with you! The line situation was inefficient and the staff is generally slow so keep in mind that there are multiple lines all serving the full menu and know what you want when you get up to order. Worth a try if you're in the area! read more

I went there the other day. Got a medium sized cup of rocky road. Last year it was very good. This time not. The price went up! 9 something came to about 10$. Expensive. It had some ice crystals in it. Then like 2 mini marshmallows! In the whole cup! Then the nuts were so tiny. Not alot. Didn't satisfy me. I can get Edys overload and it's loaded and creamy. For $4 for a half gallon. read more

do not trust their "No sugar added" ice cream. I wear a sensor to track my glucose. I went from 120 to 355 from a half a scoop of their "diabetic friendly" ice cream. Plus it made me so sick to my stomach. There are 2 possibilities as to how this happened: 1. Applegate lied about their product being diabetic friendly. Or 2. Their teenaged/ child workforce thinks it's funny to give the people who order sugar free ice cream the sugar version as a joke. Neither is acceptable and I hold Applegate Farms responsible. read more

Don't cheat yourself treat yourself! This is great hot chocolate you will not regret coming here. It's super tasty. I tried the gingerbread and the cookies and cream, hot chocolate and was not disappointed. It's very filling, however, so you could probably share one drink with somebody else. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. The presentation of the hot chocolate made it Insta worthy. Be mindful seating is outdoors. You might want to sit inside the car. read more

Came here on a Sunday night and it was absolutely packed, but the lines moved fairly quickly and we were there for a total of 30 minutes (a long time fir ice cream, I know). There's a lot of parking in the back, as well as on the street. They don't have a place for you to eat the ice cream so most people I saw would just go back to their cars. I got their Graham Central and it was definitely better than others I have tried. It was like biting into a graham cracker! Their junior cup was huge and fairly priced (5.50 I believe). It was definitely good, but considering it has been named one of the best in New Jersey, it didn't fully live up to par with other ice cream places I've tried in Montclair. read more

Applegate Farm Ice Cream - Graham Central - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

What a cute and charming ice cream spot! I love that it's open all year round, perfect for whenever you're craving a sweet treat, even in the colder months. They have a wide variety of flavors, so there's something for everyone. I did a one scoop sundae with the cookies and cream and everything was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. There isn't any indoor or outdoor seating, but there's plenty of parking available. Most people just enjoy their ice cream in their cars, which actually adds to the laid-back, local vibe of the place. It's simple, no-frills, and all about great ice cream. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors! read more

As the summer was coming to an end, we simply had to stop at Applegate Farms for our last licks of ice cream. As you're driving, you'll quickly spot a ginormous, fake cow, and you'll know you have arrived. During the summer, this place is packed, and the lines move fairly quickly. This time, during the fall, the lines were minimal. You can scan or just take a photo of their offered flavors prior to ordering. The last time I was here, I ordered their famous peach ice cream. It was good but a bit too sweet for me. My husband loved it. This time around, I ordered a Cappuccino Crunch ice cream, my husband ordered Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie ice cream, and our kid ordered a "root beer" float. Upon tasting the "root beer," we noted it didn't taste like root beer. The server explained it wasn't, as they were very low on root beer, so he substituted it with Coke instead. He also explained he's a new hire and didn't think to ask if it was okay for him to switch. The drink was okay, but we wish we had been given a heads-up. The serving size is interesting. Most of the time, their junior size is huge, so I ordered a junior, as did my husband. Oddly, when we received them, they both looked vastly different. When the server charged us, he had me as a regular cone and my husband as a junior, and the kid's drink as a regular root beer float. When we brought it to his attention, he stated he made a mistake, and he's new and had already rung it up. Oy. The place, when it's crazy busy, can obviously be a hard place to keep clean, but most of the people are very good at cleaning up after themselves. There are no chairs or tables where you can sit and enjoy, but there are barrels where you can put your drinks or cups down as you stand by, or makeshift benches by the wooden planks. There are no bathrooms, so be prepared to bring plenty of wipes, as the ice cream melts fairly quickly. The servers are very nice and patient as you decide what to get. Regarding new hires, hopefully, the managers will either train their new employees more or be nearby should the new employees run into any trouble, and not feel scared to ask their manager for help when they make mistakes. We chose not to say anything, as we all were once new hires. I give it 3 1/2 stars, but I've rounded it up to 4. read more

NEVER MISSES!!!! generally my go too after church or for random celebratory activities with my tweenager!! But really it's the decor the freshness and the friendly that keeps me coming back time after time. Also it's adorable- lines can be long but the flavors are so authentic and unique- literally always a good time read more

Okay the only reason this isn't a five stars is because I'm pretty sure I was given the wrong ice cream scoops lol BUT it was all still fabulousssss. Now ten bucks will get you FOUR HUUUUGE SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM and they have a million flavors. I really wish they did half scoops because I would've loved to have tried more. They do allow a maximum of three flavor samplings and they give you a hefty spoonful to taste. I ordered yellow cake batter, graham central station, maple walnut and salted caramel. I can tell you for sure I could tell what graham central was and maple walnut but the other two flavors in my cup, no idea because neither tasted like what I ordered. For one, there were chocolate chips in one of them??? No clue. Graham central was insaneeee though by far my favorite with HUGEEEE pieces of fudgey chocolate. I would get a quart of that next time. I would skip toppings because I got marshmallow sauce and there was barely any on there and it was like a dollar fifty. I will say though I was such a glutton to get four scoops so that's probably my own fault why they probably couldn't put so much on but even my friend who got two scoops barely anything on it. (I shared my ice cream with someone else I promise I'm not that gluttonous) Also we had no wait and we were there on a Sunday a bit past noon, so maybe that's the best time to go. I do also realize I went in November so maybe that's why there weren't any lines lol read more

PROS: ice cream was great, prices were decent, staff was friendly, menu variety was plentiful, and atmosphere was farm-like CONS: the workers moved so slow that I thought they were gonna stop. Didn't seem like they cared. A line of 20 people took 45-60 minutes OVERALL: I think this is a nice place, they have parking and seating. Along with great ice cream. But they need to speed up the process without sacrificing quality read more

Applegate Farm Ice Cream - Pistachio with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

This was my first time trying this place. I follow them on Instagram and have been wanting to stop by for a while now. We waited about 20 minutes in line. Boy they were packed! At least 4 other lines. We were able to sample some ice cream to see what we wanted. We got rum raisin, mint chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate and vanilla. All of them were absolutely delicious minus the mint chocolate chip. Not sure if we got a bad batch or it had too much flavoring but it definitely was not mint. It was spearmint. Every other flavor was delicious. Over all the ice cream is very smooth and creamy. Would definitely be back to try more flavors! Just beware of the mint chocolate chip. read more

Went here on a beautiful, sunny Mother's Day Sunday for some ice cream after brunch and botanical garden with 4 other people. The place was PACKED. We definitely had to divide and conquer with standing in separate lines. Speaking of lines...OOOOHHHMMMMMMMGGGGGG. We were in line for over an hour and 15 minutes!!!!! When one of us finally got to the front to order, we almost forgot about the wait,...almost. I got dulce de leche and rum raisin. My ice cream was smooth, creamy and ooh so yummy. The servers there did the best they could with the crowd and was friendly. read more

Applegate Farm Ice Cream - Very crowded Mother's Day - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Decent, typical flavors. Didn't love what I ordered--ice cream cake and birthday cake. They were on the sweeter side, and the blue frosting flavor overpowered everything else. Packed on the weekend, long lines, but we waited less than ten minutes. The parking was on gravel and not the best. read more

I've been coming here for years. It's one of my favorite ice cream spots in North Jersey. During warm months the lines can be quite lengthy and parking limited, but that's to be expected. The dulce de leche ice cream is absolutely worth the trip! Although it is open year round, there are no bathrooms or seating so be prepared if it's crowded. read more

I had been dying to try this place since we drive past it everytime we go to Montclair. since the weather was a little dreary it thankfully wasnt packed. i love the farm vibe; it's a very cute place to take kids! the portions are massive so be warned. i got the junior size and couldnt even finish my cone. my husband took it as a personal challenge to finish his medium cone haha. the ice cream was very rich and fresh. i got toasted almond and he got maple walnut. the nuts in both were fresh and crunchy. my only criticism is the prices are a little higher than other places nearby. We'll def be back but it will probably be only a once or twice a year trip for us! read more

I've been here twice, once in the summer and once in the winter. The lines here are ridiculous and the service is incredibly slow. On both occasions I noticed couples and families split between the lines to see which would move faster. The ice cream is definitely delicious and the hype is understandable but they need a better system. In regard to their hot chocolate in the winter. I waited 40 mins on line for something so underwhelming. I'm glad I got the one that comes with a scoop of oreo ice cream because it helped it a lot but without it, the chocolate itself is so mid. it's just whatever. I've definitely made better at home. It look authentic with the machines they use to make it but it tastes almost watered down and the marshmallow they use on top is so overpowering and all over, it kind of ruined for me. It was definitely too much marshmallow, it took up most of the top of my cup and then when i was drinking i realized there was more marshmallow on the bottom. I would recommend this place if you want some genuine ice cream, but you must have patience and be prepared to wait. read more

The hot chocolate was absolutely disappointing. When you try to get a sip of hot chocolate, it spills. Due to the heavy amount of melted marshmallows. Half of the cup was filled with creamy marshmallows. I had to get a spoon and throw it away. It's definitely not worth $15 read more

For Tasty and Creamy ICE CREAM, this is where you want to visit. Ice lasts half hour from this place in Montclair, NJ. My favorite is STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE, Place is well maintained, clean Friendly staff in this old farm scene. See them struggle to prove what you order. Tip is deserved. Can get full of people quick forming several lines and everyone is orderly all the time. The lines go fast. Worth time and money. ENJOY read more

The ice cream is very rich and fresh. I always get the peanut butter chocolate flavor ice cream. Portions are big that's why prices are a bit expensive. It's always busy they have. Parking lot behind the building that no one seems to know about. Everyone brings kids here plenty of space for them to roam around. read more

Great place to bring the family after dinner or before a show in Montclair. They have a giant cow out so you can't miss the place. All I have to say is, Graham Central Station!! The only flavor you ever need. But if your normal and not like me there are endless possibilities. From ice cream to Italian ice to sheet ice cream cakes to chipwhiches to sundays, fying Saucers, Bon Bons, milk shakes, and egg creams. What I've also enjoyed is their Cappuccino Crunch round ice cream cake. If you are a fan of coffee you need to try it. It's great for a birthday. You need to order 24 hours in advance. They have about 40 different flavors to choose from. Will always be a fan of Applegates. read more

Decided to stop by applegate farm since we were in the mood for ice cream. The place was packed and for good reason, the birthday cake was one of the best I've ever had and the quality of the ice cream was outstanding. It was rich and creamy and you could taste the freshness of the milk. Definitely one of my favorite ice cream places and I will be back! read more

They don't honor the $2 dollar off sundae yelp coupon you receive when you check in. This place has definitely gone down hill over the years. And what I mean by that is purely the icecream flavors. It's just not as great as I tried 10 years ago. The taste is okay. I tried the extreme cookies and cream and seasonal ginger bread. It's not as sweet or extreme as advertised. Don't expect Van Leeuwen sweetness. I'd much rather stop by a grocery store and buy a pint of Ben and Jerry's and be satisfied with that over a sundae of this. There's better homemade icecream places in NJ. read more

My wife and I are regular customers and we love the ice cream! Because of that we put up with the long lines but really wish they had a policy of limiting the number of "tastes" a customer(and all of their children/cousins/friends) can get before deciding what to order!! But the thing that really ticked me off the most this trip was that the new containers are markedly smaller than what we have been used to for years. I understand the economics of our times but I would prefer that they treat us like adults and just raise the prices. To hand me a smaller container and assume I'm too dumb to notice is offensive! Thank you for your attention to this matter! read more

Hands-down, the best ice cream in North Jersey. They have a seasonal cinnamon flavor that I'll put up against any ice cream anywhere at any time. I live in the Montclair Heights section of Clifton and I'm here often if you've never had it... there! read more

The hot chocolate was somewhat cold, and did not look like the picture whatsoever. When my cousin made a comment about how it appeared on the way out, the sales associate rudely commented "do you have a problem?". Could be better on other days but the high schoolish crew working today was a mess. The environment could 100% use more professionalism to deliver the expected product. read more

Love Applegate! All of their flavors are homemade and made on site. It can get a bit crazy during the summer time and warmer days. Service is usually pretty fast unless their is a long wait! Cute little red barn with cow statues all over the property. It's a new favorite and must stop for me whenever I'm in the Montclair area. Parking is a bit crazy as it's just a paved lot with no designated spots. And from time to time people drive through a bit too fast. read more

Applegates is such a staple in Montclair. We come here every spring and summer religiously. I'm glad they made the update of the ordering lines during COVID but they need better line managements.

During my initial visits to Applegate Farm, I really enjoyed the ice cream. However, after a few trips, I found that the quality/taste seemed comparable to what I could buy at the grocery store for a better price and bigger size. The service is always excellent; the students working there are friendly and generous with their portions. Keep in mind that during peak hours, finding parking and places to enjoy your ice cream can be challenging, so plan your visit accordingly. read more

Overpriced nonsense with long lines and nowhere to sit. The ice-cream was good but nothing amazing, certainly nothing that screams nearly $20 for two people (neither of whom got more than 2 scoops). read more

Came here after being recommended by multiple people. It was super busy on a Saturday evening (before 7pm) and the weather was not even that hot, so I can't imagine how busy this place must get on hot summer days (or nights). The was ample parking all over and it was a cute farm set up with many booths to order from. Service was swift and the ice cream was really good. My only issue is that I did not try more flavors. My husband had a milkshake, which was more milky than cream but it was still good. Overall this is a top ice cream place - rightfully so and I will be back to try some more flavors. Make the pit-stop here! read more

Just had a wonderful date at Applegate Farm. With plenty of seating and room to walk around outside, Applegate did not disappoint. There was a large variety of hard ice creams as well as soft serve flavors, with tons of toppings and choices of cups or cones. The ice cream was authentic, delicious, and creamy. They are very generous with their sizes and the amount of fillings they provide in each flavor. And while it took us a while to eat the ice cream because we took our time, the ice cream was frozen solid and smooth to eat and wasn't melting everywhere. Certainly recommend Applegate for your next ice cream spot, and it's year round too! read more
