What's the point of going out for ice cream if it's not homemade and interesting? Maroons Creamery…read moresatisfied our sweet tooth, offering tasty "handmade" soft serve and hard ice cream with not-your-standard flavors in various cups and cones. On a Saturday evening, we ventured in for a sweet treat and it was thankfully pretty quiet. They have a good selection of different flavors like guava cheesecake, black sesame and various teas. We enjoyed the saffron kulfi (almond, pistachio, cardamom) and cookies and cream (blue tinted which didn't seem necessary). The server gave us a nice big scoop for $5.99. In addition to ice cream cakes, they sell signature sundae type things that you can customize and likely friendly to the camera but not to your wallet. There's a good amount of seating towards the back, which is nice since most ice cream shops are small. There's also a location in Hoboken. Looking forward to returning!

Wowww, who remembers the self-serve frozen yogurt trend in the early 2010s? Froyo shops used to pop…read moreup left and right and now so many have closed down. I've always been a sucker for this frozen treat, so I'm glad Cups is still around. I visited the Fair Lawn location on a Friday evening. The store is bright and colorful with some seating in the back. They have about 8 self-serve machines with over 20 different flavors - fruity, nutty, chocolate, tart, decadent, etc. They have over 50 kinds of toppings ranging from candy to fresh fruit to syrups to cakes. You grab a cup, choose your flavor(s), grab the handle, and swirl away! Top off your froyo with as many toppings as you want, BUT just be aware that it's $0.78 per ounce. It's super easy to rack up $$$ AND calories on this treat. This location also sells ice cream and allows you to build your own ice cream sandwich. The store was very busy at the time and packed with families, kids, and teenagers. A little chaotic. There were two employees and they definitely could've used another hand with running the store. I asked one if I was able to sample some flavors and she told me "they ran out of sample cups". Something in me told me she was lying LOL. Probably my BS detector. So I asked the other employee for samples and what do ya know... She sweetly told me she was going to run to the back to get me some. I sampled two flavors that I usually get at all froyo stores: Eurotart and Salted Caramel. I have a huge sweet tooth, but these were sickeningly sweet. Wayyyyy too much sugar with artificial flavors. What really threw me off was the consistency and texture. They were SO ICY that I could see the individual ice crystals. It was nothing like what froyo should be - soft and creamy. I was really looking forward to getting a cup, but the service and mediocre froyo turned me off. So I walked out empty handed. I'm glad I sampled it before I bought anything because I would've been annoyed for dropping $$ on bad froyo. I might give them another try in the future, but I can see why their rating isn't so high.

They have dessert crepes, waffles, shakes, churros, cakes, sundaes, chocolate dips, etc. Whatever you're craving, they most likely have it. I ordered the S'mores crepe ($10.99) which included nutella, graham cookies, and marshmallows. The prices do seem high for a dessert, but the portion sizes are fairly large. You could easily split it between two people. I'm a big back at heart, so I can finish it all by myself ;) The crepe was heavennnnn sent omg. The employees are always friendly and work quickly. They make everything fresh on the spot, so depending on how busy it is, you may have a bit of a wait. This location doesn't have much seating and is pretty small, so it's more of a take out spot. It's also street parking on a very busy street in Paterson. Don't lose your mind, just think about the desserts.

Van Dyk's is one of those classic summer traditions for my family. We usually make a few trips here…read moreevery summer, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back. Their homemade ice cream is delicious, and they offer a huge variety of flavors. We stopped by on a Friday afternoon and lucked out--it wasn't crowded yet. If you've ever been here during peak summer hours, you know that's a rarity. This place is a local favorite, and long lines are pretty common later in the day. I was really hoping to get my favorite, Bailey's Cream, but they were sold out. That's one thing to keep in mind: while they have a ton of flavors, they aren't always all available. I ended up ordering the Black Raspberry Chip with free rainbow sprinkles (my go-to), and it definitely hit the spot. Someone in our group got a milkshake and absolutely loved it, while another ordered the Cappuccino Oreo and enjoyed it as well. Portion sizes: A single scoop (their small) is surprisingly large. With prices having increased over the years, I'd love to see a smaller, more affordable option for those times when I just want a little ice cream. I also wish they'd let you choose two flavors in a small cup instead of requiring a double scoop (medium) if you want to mix flavors. A few things to know before you go: Van Dyk's is cash only, although they do have an ATM inside if you need it. The shop itself is very small, with no indoor seating or restrooms. There are only a few places to sit outside, so most people end up standing around or grabbing a spot on the small wall. Parking can also be a bit of a headache. The lot gets hectic, especially when they're busy, and better signage would definitely help. We've found it's often easier to park on a nearby side street and walk over. Even when the line is long, the staff does a great job keeping things moving. One employee usually takes care of an entire group from start to finish, which helps keep the ordering process efficient. Everyone we've interacted with has always been friendly and helpful. Even with the cash-only policy, limited seating, and hectic parking, Van Dyk's is still one of our family's favorite summer traditions. The homemade ice cream keeps us coming back year after year, and hopefully next time they'll have my favorite ice cream, Bailey's Cream, in stock.
