Any ice cream desire you have will likely be met here. They have sundaes, soft serve, over 25 flavors of hard ice cream, italian ice, ice cream sandwiches and even ice cream cakes. I ordered a small soft serve and let's just say I can't imagine what a large would've looked like. The prices seemed fair and I would love to try out their hard ice cream next time. The workers were friendly and prompt. There is plenty of seating outside on the patio and some seating inside as well. The only odd thing was the 40" TV displaying four security camera angles. Not sure what they were going for with that.

This is a cite place. Didn't know about it. You can be served inside or out. There is a decent size seating area to eat. They have a great selection of ice cream and toppings. I'm usually a sprinkle guy but decided to try the cotton candy and simple soft serve vanilla. It was really good. I do plan on going back for the hard serve ice cream, seeing as there are flavors there I have not seen and would like to try.

TLDR - huge variety of flavors! Large portions! Sit outdoors on a nice day, friendly staff I love summer nights because I can enjoy my evening outside with a large scoop of ice cream. This place is a cute neighborhood shop that has all of your classic ice cream and Italian ice flavors and a few surprise flavors as well. You can also choose to pick up ice cream cakes, milk shakes, sundaes, banana splits and top them with any topping you could imagine. I got the small scoop and they really load up on their scoops! I picked 2 flavors, dunken cookie because I love coffee and s'mores because I love a graham cracker crunch. Dunken cookie had a good medium bodied coffee flavor and S'mores had plenty of graham cracker crumbles and chocolate chips throughout. I'll be coming back to try out more flavors! Their ice cream sandwiches look so good too! Today I really wished I had multiple stomachs!

My boyfriend suggested this place when we went out for ice cream recently. The shop was really busy when we went which is expected on a nice day. They had a variety of flavors but I kept it simple and went with vanilla soft served with rainbow sprinkles. The ice cream was good. I'll try something different during my next visit. They had plenty of tables and seating outside.

I have been here a few times for ice cream and it is usually really good. I enjoy the soft serve from here because it's a really nice creamy texture. When I've tried the hard scoop ice creams, most of them have been good. I had one that felt like it was a little freezer burned with some ice chunks in it, although it tasted fine. There are a ton of flavors to choose from which is nice. Pretty much something for everyone. If you are coming here on a weekend when it's hot, expect to wait for a bit to order and get your ice cream. There is a good amount of outdoor seating and parking on the premise. It is located on a busier road though so it's not always the best place to stay and hang out due to passing cars.

Mango Italian ice

First time trying this place and definitely my last . Although the girls working were friendly I can't say much for the ice cream . I ordered a scoop of cappuccino crunch and toffee neither of them tasted like it. Absolutely no coffee taste at all for the cappuccino and the toffee I only tasted the chocolate pieces inside . I don't know if I was given the wrong scoops of ice cream but the flavor factors weren't there and I could taste that freezer burn taste in the ice cream which made us less appealing to eat. My daughter ordered the mango ice which was decent .

Vanilla soft serve. Sooo smooth !

I have been wanting to try this place since moving down to Piscataway. It just looks like your unpretentious neighborhood ice cream shoppe. It's nothing fancy inside but the ice cream is the star! So many different flavors of "hard" and "soft" ice cream. They also have sorbets/ices. My husband ordered the espresso soft serve and I opted for your good old fashioned vanilla soft serve. The texture was sooo smooth and the ice cream itself was thick and creamy. It's not like other soft serves that melt as soon as you start holding it. I was really impressed with their soft ice cream. I need to come back and try more stuff. They have home made ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes in the freezer. Gotta give those a shot some time this summer. Pricing is totally reasonable. They accept cash or credit. They have a private parking lot. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, great local spot!!!

I ordered a small cone of vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. Pretty good ice cream. Minimum cc transaction of 5$ or else you must pay cash. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for something cool on a hot day

Good ice cream, but LONG line that takes forever. Don't come in a rush, but if you have time to wait it's worth it!

Very happy I came across this location as they have vegan options and well as standard frozen…read moreyogurt. The staff kept the location clean and were helpful. There are 3 cup sizes w/ waffle bowl (extra $1) and waffle cones available. As advertised, there are 16 flavors available and plenty of toppings. Everything you would expect and need. For those wondering, the two vegan flavor options available at the moment are Oatly brand (Chai Tea & Black Raspberry). Per the website, the flavors rotate during the seasons so it could change but there are always two options. Frozen Yogurt Review: - Vegan Oatly Chai Tea (9/10) - Cookies & Cream (9/10) - Cookie Dough (9/10)

They also have a pretty extensive topping bar. My go-to is the toasted coconut, which is usually in stock. My only complaint is that at some point they changed the cheesecake bites, which were not as good as the original ones. The atmosphere of this place is pretty fun -- they have cute seating. Sometimes it can be hard to get seating on busy nights, but there's also places to sit outside. One thing I appreciate about this location is that they always honor app promotions and coupons. Solid place for frozen yogurt!
