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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

My favorite ice cream parlor in the area! A wide array of flavors. My favorites are the cheesecake and black cherry ice cream. Sometimes there is a line, but it's very quick service. They have a nice outdoor seating space perfect for those warm summer days. Highly recommend. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Blizzard Island - Ice cream flavor menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Middlesex, New Jersey

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 . read more

The icy here are always a go to on a hot summer day. Me and my daughter enjoy spending time here service is quick and friendly no complaints. read more

This is a good place usually. I have one issue right now. I had hard ice cream Vanilla peanut yesterday from another place. Decided to try it here. And not even close to the peanut butter taste. Was no chuncks of real peanut butter. The Cheesecake ice cream was really good though. The soft ice cream is really smooth and rich. And the ice cream sandwiches are good for take out. read more

This is a "mom and pop" place that's doing it right! I'm so happy I discovered it this summer, just a little upset that I didn't know about it the last 9 years I've been leaving in the area! First and most importantly, they are making all their ice cream on site, according to a convo with the owner. Secondly, the prices are awesome. I don't know how they compare to other ice cream parlors bc I never really frequented any in the past, but a half gallon is under $8. I have one in the freezer right now. I highly recommend cappuccino crunch. You're welcome, in advance. read more

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!

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!!! read more

The ice cream was great and delicious. A little too sweet for my taste but still enjoyable

I went on Thursday. 3 girls came into the store without mask went behind the counter and made their own icecream without washing their hands. The were taking scoops from the containers. Supervision is needed read more

Soft ice cream has a decent flavor, but sadly it was ruined by my most recent experience. I ordered a pint to take home and found mold growing in the ice cream. Disgusting and a clear indicator that the employees are not properly cleaning the soft serve machines. read more

Our go to place for ice cream since we moved and live down the block. Nice local place with good vibe and sitting area outside is good too.

BREAKING THE LAW by charging a 4% surcharge for debit or credit. On top of that I brought my family there for ice cream. I asked for 4 small cones with sprinkles. As I handed one to my 5 year old it was a little lopsided, so I asked for a cup and a spoon so he wouldnt make a mess. When they rang me up they charged me for 3 cones, one dish, 4 sprinkles and $1 for an extra cone. SERIOUSLY YOURE CHARGINF ME FOR THE CONE/BOWL WHEN THEY MADE IT LOPSIDED??? I complained about that and was told its their policy that the owner counts everything. I paid with my debit visa and was told there is an automatic 4% surcharge for all credit transactions. I told the server that the 4% surcharge was against the law, she said "A Lot of customers say this, but theres nothing I can do its in the computer that way" I told her that she was breaking the law by enforcing it and she said, "yeah I know I hear that all the time - Ha ha" Notifying the BBB, Visa, MC and everyone I know to stay away form this crap-hole. Obviously customer service ans satisfaction is at the bottom of their list, and making a buck is the only thing they care about. read more

All the ice cream here is homemade by Chris, one of the owners. She and her husband own the place. They also do great ice cream cakes. The kids that work here are all pretty friendly, and they have a lot of flavors and toppings to choose from. They'll make a shake out of any ice cream you want. I think my favorite is the chocolate. read more

Delicious ice cream and flavors!! Staff is very kind and fast. They have a huge selection on milkshakes, soft serve, Sundaes... And cones read more

I got the soft strawberry ice cream last night. They have two different machines you can choose from. One harder then the other. When I asked for sprinkles I guess the lady behind the counter didn't do it right. So she made me another one to get it right! Definitely a satisfied customer! :) They are super friendly here! I love the fact that they have so many different soft ice creams to choose from. NOT JUST VANILLA AND CHOCOLATE! Definitely coming back before the summer is over! Love the colors of the store on the inside. read more

Ice cream delicious. First time trying it...I got ice cream cake with some nice crunchy toppings. I would give it 5 stars but I was there just 10 mins ago and the guy that served me was professional and wonderful (Sunday 6:40 pm July 30) but some person behind the counter with him said "Then this really fat ass guy came in..." Inappropriate. If you wanna talk about other customers do it when you aren't in front of actual customers. Maybe they can find a job where they can learn not to talk negatively and make others feel uncomfortable. The young man that served me was great and ignored the other guys comments. If he doesn't like his job then don't work at a job with customer service or maybe keep your dumb mouth shut around around groups of customers. Otherwise great place but he sure did leave a nasty taste in my mouth. I used to do customer service and I would never get caught talking so negatively. Idk if I will be back. Sadly. read more

Definitely way better when the staff was all those colleges girls. Courtney and Shannon were my favorite and always made the customers happy. When Those two stopped working there it starting worse. Those two girls were definitely keeping business for blizzard sad to see them go blizzard isn't the same or even as good without them. Now it's all high schoolers who are managers don't think that is the right way to run a store or even legal. read more

Hate this place. Over priced and not even worth the money. Went at 9:15 one night (not knowing that they close at 9), the door wasn't locked and as I almost walked in, I got 3 teenage brats yell at me "we're closed!" Oh really? Is that why the door was unlocked? Whatever. I'd rather get boxed ice cream at quick chek across the street. Maybe then I won't get yelled at. The only reason they have a chance of staying in business is because there are no other ice cream places real close by. So I guess the owner lucked out there! read more

Friendly place to get good ice cream w/ the kids! Fun to eat ice cream & talk to friends on their patio!

Went in to get soft serve vanilla ice cream. Tasted very good !! However within one hour's time I spent 45 minutes on the throne. May never return unless I need to lose 6 pounds fast....... read more

Blizzard Island is one of the few remaining "mom & pop" ice cream joints that I know of, and for good reason too. On any given summer night it is not uncommon for the line to be out the door. The ice cream is fresh and home made and oh so delicious. The staff are nice and helpful and the prices are reasonable.... and did I mention the ice cream was good? read more

Good atmosphere and reasonable pricing. Best Ice Cream shop in Piscataway. Only downside is 4% surcharge on cc

Don't bring a group of kids or you'll be asked to leave. We went today with a small group of cub scouts to have a little treat. The Ice cream wasn't bad, but the owner was extremely rude. Once you pay, he wants you to leave. Don't sit and talk. Don't play in the grassy area nearby. Just "take your ice cream and go." We won't be back... read more

I was so excited to learn that the hours on here were wrong. They're open until 10 on Sat and Sun.

Great outside seating with music to entertain the kids, however their ice cream is a bit on the expensive side, paid over $15 for 3 small ice creams! read more

Awesome ice cream! Can get a little crowded on hot nights, but they move the line quickly. Menu is similar to Dairy Queen, but the quality is much better as it is home made and very fresh! read more

Update- just went to Dairy Quick and it is so freaking delicious. I got one scoop of mint chocolate chip on a sugar done and it was HUGE and full of chocolate chips/ also it was super creamy which is what I look for in ice cream. The one scoop was so generous that I actually asked the guy is this one scoop and he said yes. So far I love uncle Loui G's and Dairy Quick.... Both have good ice cream, but I will give it to uncle Loui G's for having a beautiful place to sit inside and out that Dairy Quick doesn't have. Blizzard island has a lot of work to do. read more

Update: The owner wouldn't refund my money for the stale cake, but the manager who came in on Monday did. Thank you, manager! Because of the owner, who would not take responsibility for selling stale food, I am afraid to order another cake. (The cake smelled horrible the minute I cut into it! What a way to ruin a birthday party!) That's too bad, because even though I prefer small businesses to chains, I order my ice cream cakes from Baskin Robbins now. read more

I pre-purchased an ice cream cake and the order was written up. The next day I came in to pick it up and one of the owners was there( a women) and she told me it would be 4 $ extra. I said I have a receipt and agreed to pay the amount on the receipt. She said the boy who wrote this up got the price wrong he is too young. My response was why should that be my problem. Well to make a long story short she got the 4$ from me but lost a lifetime of repeated visits. When you sell someone a cake for an agreed on price by someone you put in charge of the store and have a written document complete with the price and ingredient's the right thing is to honored it. But no she decided to belittle me when during pick it up for which I never will forget. My response was to never return to Blizzard Island. This happened some time ago and probably lost several hundred dollars in sales from myself and the friends I influenced. Cake was Ok that is why I gave them 2 Stars. read more

Always enjoyable - the help is generally very good. When the lines are long, the employees do a pretty good job moving the people along. We also purchase ice cream cakes from time to time and they have always been top notch. They even were able to do an emergency rush order once which I was very appreciative of. read more

After being recommended to this place by a mom at my school for their "great" ice cream I was VERY disappointed. The soft serve was hood but the hard ice cream was gross. It tasted fake and freezer burnt. The staff are dirty looking and the entire place was dirty from the floors to the window seating where there was at least 100 dead bugs just mitering the window sills and tables. The prepackaged ice cream sandwiches are overpriced and you have to dig to the bottom just to get fresh ones. I have told everyone I know this place is a dump. The service is slow, product terrible. You would be better off going to Rita's... read more

I ordered the soft ice cream cake for a birthday party 5/14 from Blizzard Island because I read the ice cream is home made. How much difference could it make? ALOT! It was fresh and creamy!! The BEST ice cream cake I have ever had! Guests commented on it's deliciousness as well. The staff did a beautiful job decorating it. It was definitely worth driving out of my way. Tip: pay with cash. Thank you Blizzard Island! read more
