    Regular cup of coffee
    Nicole A.

    Have been meaning to try Cliff's since I LOVE ice cream and was finally nearby. I was in a rush and ordered my usual, coffee ice cream in a regular cup. Would have loved to try some of the other flavors. $8.15 for ONE regular cup of ice cream, no cone. However, it was very good, but I don't see myself making it a point to come here often. If I brought my family, it would be $30 for ice cream I'm sure due to my husbands epic love of sprinkles and/or banana splits. Ample parking and picnic tables.

    Very mom and pop vibe at this cute little ice cream hut on this random side of the road in Jersey . A bunch of flavors to choose from . The ice cream is rich/creamy . It's not cheap . There are a handful of windows to order from but there's no one regulating . Line looks long but when you walk up you realize that each line is independent of the other . You can ask to taste a sample before making your final decision . Try it if you're in the area !

    Not the best in New Jersey like they claim but good. But again, that's just my opinion. Honestly, I have to go again to see if maybe the homemade hard ice cream is the draw because my vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles didn't slap. The best part about this cone was the price. NO WHERE else can you get a cone with sprinkles for $2 and change. What a steal! The cone was more air than I'm used to but the flavor was good. I expected the ice cream to be thicker, creamier, and bordering on custard. A plus and it sounds weird, the sprinkles seemed fresh. Nice and crunchy not waxy. Gonna come back to try one of MANY flavors of hard ice cream (BeTwixed & Coffee Fudge caught my eye), hopefully eat crow, and take back this mediocre review. In the meantime, I said what I said.

    Cliff's homemade Ice Cream feels like a Roxbury township staple. The taste is a deliciously homemade flavor. Doesn't matter what time of the year, there are always customers from either a couple ordering to 4 full lines waiting for yummy goodness. YES, they are opened all year round!! Stating the obvious, the ambiance of cliff's can be enjoyed in the summer months, or shall I say warmer months at the picnic tables they have. Gives that old school vibe that I grew up too. They have soft served ice cream, homemade flavor hard ice cream, they make sundaes, floats and more! They also have Cakes for special occasions. They also do private events from what I've heard, I've never inquired about it. If you're ever in our town, it's a definite must try! Make sure when you stop by tip the kids tending the windows, they handle a lot of orders, maybe it will put a smile on their faces. Enjoy!

    Great place! So many interesting flavors and high quality ice cream Nice clean tables outside and plenty of parking Workers were very nice and helpful

    Long lines during the summertime always means ice cream session is here and with our first visit to Cliff's for a post dinner treat I can fully embrace this delicious time of year! Grabbed some green tea ice cream, mint oreo, coconut mound and your tried and true chocolate brownie. Each were sweet and delicious! The service was pretty quick with the team taking care of multiple orders in their five or six windows open ready to serve an ice cold treat either hard or soft serve along with sorbet too.

    Haven't been here in ages. Hasn't changed much. Same made fresh daily ice cream. Many flavors to choose from. I tried the maple walnut and the double PeanutButter Fudge Cup. Was amazing. Fast friendly service. Definitely be back again soon.

What I love about their flurries, (besides the best soft serve vanilla anywhere) is that they blend your flavor choices very well so there's toppings all throughout, then top it off with ice cream and more toppings. Of course they have awesome homemade hard ice cream flavors, cakes, slushies, novelties and more. Be aware that they are a cash only establishment, so grab $$ before you head over. There is plenty of parking behind the store. In case you are hungry, the Dover Grill next door is also open. They have awesome burgers, fries and amazing comfort food. The owners have been there forever and their ice cream is the best in Morris County. They train the most professional servers who scoop with a smile. The lines may get long at times, but people are super patient because the reward is worth it. Stop in for a bit of joy, you deserve it!

    I recommend their rum raisin hard ice cream! The raisins…read moretaste like they were soaked in the rum for a good amount of time before going to the ice cream. I ordered three scoops, and each scoop was quite small. Besides rum raisin, I also ordered butter pecan and orange sherbet. They made good ice creams, and they have been in business for almost 50 years. They must do something right ;)

Fries were all super crispy , kids had chicken tenders and fries , everything was a large portion and came with coleslaw pickles and French fries. Fast friendly service and lots of seating indoor or outdoor , lots of parking. Will be back to try other menu items.

There wasnt any pumpkin left in the field to pick and the apples were not event there on the trees. I would definitely have to say hand down to the cute little store - there was a bakery side and oh my gosh the donuts , the cookies and the Tik Tok famous drink was out of this world. So the 2 hour trip was definitely worth the drive. The service was okay the individuals behind the counter to order the Tik Tok drink had a bit of a attitude when I was asking about questions. Just stay patient. Other then that I would highly recommend coming here and trying a piece of all of there different donuts and cookies are soo soo good. They even had a pumpkin cider donut which I never had before. Don't forget to stop by and check them out.

I hear it can…read moreget crowded on the weekends, but on Thursday when we arrived a little before noon, it wasn't bad. They had a steady stream of newcomers but not too crowded. It was fairly easy to find though going there, my map told me to go down a treacherous gravel road which I wasn't terribly fond of. They have a moderately sized parking lot and you'll see this large, red barn. That's where you get your goodies (there's often a line) and where their store is. We stopped by for a treat first. They sell ice cream, cider floats, and what is a "TikTok famous" coffee float with donut. We got: Cider ($4) - I didn't actually drink this. I got it for my kid with food allergies. He wanted ice cream but they do not know if the ice cream they use contains eggs or not so we played it safe. My kid thought it was okay but finally finished it later. He typically prefers regular apple juice. Cider float with donut - you have a choice of no donut for $2 less. It's like a root beer float but with cider instead of root beer, black and orange sprinkles around the time of the cup, whipped cream, and a powdered cider donut over it all. I shared this with my daughter. That donut was delicious! Warm, tender, and crisp on the outside. The drink was great! I do wish it came with a spoon because it got difficult finishing the last of it. Warning: if you have one of these, the bees are coming for you. They use some sort of caramel-like sauce to get the sprinkles to stick. Overall, quite good. Maple cider donut ($3): my sister got this and she said it was amazing, but she said she thought $3 was a bit much (the unglazed donuts are $1.25 each). She's vegan, so didn't partake in the float, but she also wasn't going to ask if there's milk in the donut. If you're getting only donuts, they are purchased in the store. They have tables and chairs nearby for you to picnic and enjoy your treats. Going through the gates, there was a table but they were busy with other people so we walked right in. There is no entrance fee, which was nice. You go through the apple orchard first. It seems like most of the apples have been picked through, though there are a lot of developing apples. Some of the nicer ones were way too tall for us; they don't provide ladders. We only managed to find one that looked nice. At the end, there used to be a sunflower field and the corn maze. It's epic but you don't know how formidable until you're past the point of return and realize it's not a kids maze. We were in there for a while! Even met other kids that thought they'd be lost forever. The corn stalks are taller than a human and they're pretty dense so you can't look over or through them. It's a true maze and I was impressed. I wish they would provide a paper maze puzzle of the corn maze because I'm so curious how it is from above. Lots of dead ends. What I can say is don't lose hope. You'll get there! (When we finally found the exit, it was almost like a dream because we had been staring at corn for so long.) In hindsight, it was good we ate something first. Once done, we explored the sunflowers and saw the pumpkin patch. As we headed out, we went to pay for our lone apple and we discovered THE CORN MAZE IS NOT FREE. It's $10 per adult and $5 per kid. They charged us $1 for the single apple. I guess they work on the honor system? I didn't mind much because that maze clearly took planning. Before we left, we visited the store full of baked goodies. I got a few cider donuts, a dumpling, and a piece of crumb cake because they just brought out a fresh tray. Plus a lattice harvest pie. The pies with crumble aren't vegan, but the lattice pies are made of vegetable shortening. Restrooms! They have a row of port-a-potties by the parking lot. They're actually the cleanest ones I've been to before. No sinks but they do have a dispenser of antibacterial hand gel. The openings are a bit large so if your kid needs to use the toilets, hold onto them. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I definitely think everyone should go through a corn maze of this caliber at least once in their life. The apple pickings were sparse but at least you get delicious floats and donuts! Note: they have gluten free goodies in the store but they are nut based (almond flour). They also had one gluten free-vegan item.

This looks like a good old fashioned ice cream parlor so the name is certainly fitting. Maybe 3 tables with chairs inside and a few more outside. They sell a lot of flavors of ice cream from unicorn (berry ice cream based!) to seasonal flavors like apple pie. They also have sundaes, milkshakes, soft serves, ice cream cookies sandwiches, and maybe even more that I completely missed. Oh yes! And a vegan selection which was a pleasant surprise for my sister who is vegan. We ended up getting: Cookies and Cream (1 scoop) in a wafer cone - this was for one of my kids. A classic flavor and it was full of cookie chunks. Also, I just add that "one scoop" was HUGE and could have easily been 2 scoops. My kid wanted whipped cream on top and the server said it would be too high and we got a small cup full of whipped cream on the side. Soft serve (vanilla) in a cup - got this for my kid with the food allergies. Soft serve tends to be safe as long as you're not allergic to milk. He originally wanted a twist, but they only had soft serve at the time. He liked it fine and ate half (it's quite a lot of it for a 4 year old). Cookie Butter (1 scoop) in a cup [vegan] - my vegan sister got this to share with her husband. It's actually not listed on the board but the flavor she wanted was out (something about raspberry chocolate chunk). They said it was good but it did have a more crumbly texture and they said there was the flavor of banana in it. I wonder what the base is for their vegan ice cream! I didn't get anything for myself because I ended up eating half of the cookies and cream and finishing the soft serve. If I did? I'd probably try a seasonal flavor in a waffle cone. With the exceptional service and great value and taste of the ice cream, this is definitely the place to go if you're nearby. I'd definitely go again if I had the chance. And if you're vegan, you have a decent amount of fun flavors to choose from! They don't have public restrooms and there's only street parking, but it's free.
