    Our family loves going to Celtic Creamery when we come down to Surf City! The service is always wonderful, and the staff works fast at getting us our order. Everyone always love the flavor of ice cream they get! The place is clean and has a wide variety of ice cream choices to choose from.

    The Celtic Special

    By far the BEST ice cream on the island! The staff is super friendly and the service is always great. A trip to Surf City is not complete without a visit to the Celtic Creamery!

    Delicious fresh local ice cream. I've tried all the ice cream shops on the island and this is hands down the best.

    On an island full of half-rate Hershey's and Blue Bell ice cream, we found an incredible, homemade ice cream place.

    The banana pudding ice cream flavor will have me coming back every day of our vacation!…read more We stopped here our first night for an easy dinner. We immediately were enthralled by the antiques adorning the walls. Yes, things are a little dusty but an antique collector knows that you sparingly clean these treasures to avoid destroying the authenticity. We ordered standard diner fare - burgers, fries, steak & cheeses, milk shakes - topping everything off with ice cream! The teenaged staff were attentive and polite, even eager to share their favorite flavors to help us decide. Everyone enjoyed their meals but my oldest said his steak & cheese was the best he'd had though it was smaller portion than he would have liked. All in all, this is a great little spot when you're looking for a quick bite.

I REALLY hope this was a one off but I am worried it was not. What changed? The ground beef. Not sure if they got a different supplier or they are trying to cut costs but neither scenario is good because the meat is horrible. I will try it one more time to be sure but IF this is the new norm- I will not be back, like ever. If it's a cost savings plan- this never works. You end up alienating your core customer base to save a few pennies. It's not like this place is cheap. I'm paying a decent price but I expect a decent burger. Please Island Delights- don't do us like that.

I had looked up the business and reviews before we came and was lured in by the flavor list and great feedback. I'd give this place 5 stars if they actually let customers sample the ice cream before you purchase the scoops/cups/cones. This is the first place I've encountered that doesn't allow you to try samples, and it might be that they used to allow it but because people abused the system they quit doing it. Either way, it's a frustrating result. My ice cream was great and the employee was nice, but if samples were allowed and if there was any indoor seating so you could enjoy the AC I'd have given 5 stars without a second thought.

We got caught in the rain so when we walked in we were cold. I got an Americana which they make with 2 Espresso shots. It was strong and fabulous.

Best icecream I've had in a while. They also.have a little shop with a few Turkish lamps and lots of things with the evil eye on it. I learned today it translates to evil wye, but it wards off evil. Learned something new! The folks in there were great. Friendly and super helpful. Definitely willbe back!
