This cute ice cream shop has delicious ice cream but leaves some room for improvement. I think the ice cream here is actually really good! I got the Elvis and midnight jersey and both were delicious mixed together! The service here was definitely lacking. Not sure if it was because it was midweek but the people working the counters didn't seem to really want to be there. Usually ice cream shops would at least offer one free sample but no such case here. Also, I had to come back up to get a bowl for my overly melted ice cream and they just kept looking at me and going away from the line to "help" others when other staff were already helping them. If you are okay with just getting ice cream and not caring about service, this is not a bad spot! read more

Crazees - Elvis midnight jersey - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rumson, New Jersey

We wanted to treat the kids after a day at Sandy Hook beach and decided to go for a new spot. Glad we did! I went off the recommendation of other Yelpers and can confirm, yes the Elvis ice cream is incredible. My family members enjoyed all of their picks too. The line moved pretty quickly, so I am confident that I can come back anytime during the beach season for more. read more

Wanted ice cream and we were in the area. The place was super cute. Plenty of flavors and they let us try some. We got the graham slam and a soft serve. Both very good. I'd come back if I was in the area. read more

Legendary .. delicious ice cream flavors , very generous with the serving sizes and they know how to load up the chocolate syrup

All the ice cream was delicious. We had the chocolate peanutbutter, mint chip, pistacchio all feast. Fast service.

Elvis ice cream was delicious and once again I am a regular visitor to my favorite ice cream parlor.

I've been going here for years...and I'll continue to go for years... Their regular flavors are always on point and amazing and their specials, featured flavors and rotating flavors are all beyond description. They're the nicest people, and they hire really good people to work there... I'm always happy to support a place like this. P.S. My recommendations are to try the peanut butter swirl and the Jersey shore read more

A cute storefront located at a convenient location, with its own parking lot and plenty of seating. They have a larger set up, meaning they can fit a lot of people inside of their establishment and they even advertised that they host parties! They have outdoor benches and when I stopped in, there were festive autumn decor outside and gave it a nice touch. So for the service and ice cream itself- service is good, ran by younger staff who try to move the line quick with making the orders. Soft serve moves fastest, shakes and banana splits take more time, makes sense. Their ice cream is under the brand Thomas Sweets and I have had that brand before in New Brunswick years ago and they are good, but a little too sweet on some flavors in my opinion. They have the usual flavors one can find in a shop ( I.e chocolate, vanilla, coffee, cookies n cream, mint chocolate chip) and they do have a sign that will list what's available that day. I have seen their beautiful cakes on display and they do look amazing and I will try one in the future. There seems to be a way to customize your order and they make a for an awesome statement! read more

Fun spot, good quality ice cream, pleasant service-and a priceless view of the Navesink. Great spot for dessert after a burger at Barnacle Bill's. read more

Always solid ice cream with a variety of options, kids cups and toppings. They used to be cash only but now they take cards which is great. I love that it's just a block from the park and just a great way to spend a summer afternoon here. I am really dying to try their ice cream cakes but I think they are a little pricey but they look delicious. It's always teenage kids working here and they're always friendly and do a great job. The place is always clean and there are plenty of places to sit inside and out. I love all the variety of options on top of having sherbet and water ice. read more

Great spot to grab a sweet treat! They have a ton of icecream flavors and you can also get milkshakes. Great prices too.

The ice cream was pretty fucking good. Ion know bout the workers place kind of a mess but its coo. Good ice cream 4 stars read more

Good ice cream overall - coffee tasted very strongly like coffee, but was incredibly hard/cold to eat. The cookies & oreo were good. Added M&M toppings, which was a bit too much (gave me probably 100!). There's seating for 4 tables for a quick bite. Roughly costs $8-10/ice cream. read more

Stopped by for little nice town and grab some ice cream ..... Service so rushed by the man who seems annoyed us. The sign on the wall it not flavored in the refrigerator which is made us disappointed. Last thing for ice cream is melting so fast and almost watery in couple minutes. read more

The ice cream was just alright but the derogatory signs around the shop were much more concerning. The shop follows its "Crazee" theme, calling menu items "manic" and "bipolar," plus the door's tagline: "institute for fine ice cream and nuts." I'm disappointed that an establishment meant to be joyful and safe would use these tasteless puns to poke fun at mental health issues. read more

Cute spot in Rumson for some good ice cream. Their waffle cone is fresh and not overly sweet. The girls are very friendly and truly a family spot. Nice outdoor area to enjoy your favorite flavor. read more

We ate dinner nearby and since my girlfriend loves ice cream, ended up here on a Monday night. We had never been despite being in Red Bank for years. It was pretty quiet and we got some basic stuff but we enjoyed it. The girls working there were attentive and quick. My girlfriend got a cup of the hard vanilla ice cream w peanut butter pieces in it (I forget the name) and I went with soft serve vanilla with chocolate sprinkles. I think we paid about $7.50 so reasonable prices and a good product. We will we back and maybe take a walk down to the nearby river on a nice summer day. read more

The rudest teenage staff. The ice cream is either all the way to the bottom, half melted, or just mixed up together. Not worth it. Go to Nicholas creamery instead. The reason why this place is called Crazees is because people walk in there in a good mood looking forward to a yummy treat and leaving ready to check into the nearest psych hospital. You go crazy at Crazees, but not in a good way. NEXT... read more

If you're looking for that classic , hard ice cream . This is the spot. They also serve soft serve here as well. All the flavors we tried were very good. Highly recommend the cake batter flavor. read more

Honestly this ice cream flat out sucked. It tasted artificial, and wasn't creamy at all. I tried three flavors and none of them were good. I had the moose tracks, chocolate peanut butter, and the peanut butter swirl. One I had topped with hot fudge, and the other peanut butter. Even the peanut butter swirls in the ice cream didn't blend well, and it flat out tasted bad. There are much better ice cream places to go to. On the positives of this ice cream shop there is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, and the servers are nice. read more

Rude service and no one else was there when we went and all these young workers were just standing around doing nothing. I ordered a cone with 1 scoop and the girl gave it to me with the bottom missing. Wth??? I asked for.a cup after holding up the broken cone and she looked at me like I was crazy. Who gives out broken cones? It's just going to drip through. Never going back. Ice cream was bland too. read more

I'm so glad I took the advice of the young man who served us this evening and ordered the caramel pretzel ice cream. It was fantastic! I paired it with the key lime pie ice cream, which was also very good. They didn't exactly complement each other, but I liked it. Crazees has lots of parking and seating, so it's perfect for a summer evening. read more

Great Place to get an ice cream and enjoy a summer evening. Grab an ice cream and walk across the Oceanic Bridge Crazees is always crowded in the summer but it is well staffed and the wait is never long. read more

Ice cream is mediocre and expensive and servers were rude. Their ice cream isn't creamy at all and has ice crystals in it. Their large waffle cones are $7 and you'd think they would have a better quality product. Go to Nicholas Creamery in Fair Haven or Atlantic Highlands. Much better quality and so worth it. The only good thing about this place is the location and outside seating. read more

This ice cream is great, BUT. It's 2020. It's time to rebrand and make the theme NOT "mental illness." With ice cream this good, it deserves a better (non-offensive) theme. read more

Wow worst customer service ever! Served a cone with one scoop hanging off the side about to fall off. Asked if they could redo and pack on right. They acted like I asked for the keys to the register! Said no they couldn't. Sourly looking manager came out and we went round and round over a $5 cone. Did they not make a million dollars this summer??!! Finally agreed to redo and guess what..Ice cream had chunks of ice in it just like the last couple times I was in there! Too many better ice cream places around to deal with that crap! I won't be back! #polarbear #nicholascreamery #hinlickitys read more

Still my favorite ice cream shoppe anywhere in this area! My go to flavor is the Jersey Shore. Vanilla ice cream with salted caramel. OH yeah!!!!!!!!! One of the things I love about places is whether or not they've maintained their original charm. Crazees seems like it stepped right out of the 70's when I'm in there. Be warned, no credit cards. Cash or local checks only read more

We feel that naming an ice cream dish "Bi Polar" is insensitive to the many people who are struggling with this condition and unnecessary.

The ice cream here is bussin bussin. So good lol. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something local. It's a must if you're in Rumson. read more

Horrible service. Gave a medium in a small cup. Doesn't except cards and is so overpriced.

Absolutely the best ice cream and immaculate place at the jersey shore!!! And YES. IT IS POSTED EVERYWHERE THAT CASH OR CHECK ONLY!! Always the best service For everyone families, friends. Couples. Children seniors. Ice cream is for everyone!!! My happy place!! @crazees read more

This business, formerly owned by a local uber rich bi-polar man, markets certain specialties (Manic Mixins, Bi-Polar Ice) after psychiatric conditions which is kind of funny in an ignorant sort of way. Also, they use Thomas Sweet ice cream which tastes to me like it is partially made with sickly sweet corn syrup. Therefore the added ingredients within the ice cream get completely lost. This is not to say some won't enjoy this place as it is within strolling distance of a nice local playground/park alongside the beautiful Navesink River and offers its own parking lot and a plentitude of outdoor benches. You'll probably be able to find some serviceable treat here that does the trick but true ice cream lovers beware. For my money - especially if I am already in a car - I go the extra mile and a half to Gracie and the Dudes across from the beach in Sea Bright where the owner/manager uses fresh natural ingredients and where the distinctive chocolate ice cream is made in two gallon batches from divine cacao beans bought from a secret source often the very morning I show up to eat some = so good. Or if in the mood for mass produced goodies I go across the Oceanic Bridge into Middletown and get a Blizzard at Dairy Queen by Whole Foods. read more

Would have given 4 or 5 stars for the ice cream but the kids behind the counter pissed me off. Chocolate soft serve in a very fresh large waffle cone. Chocolate was rich and a great texture. The kids ignored myself and my group. Guess they don't like out of towners or minorities. Twice I asked why they called on others and both times they picked someone else to serve LOL 2nd best ice cream I have had in Cjerz read more

The past 4 times we have gone in about 25-30 minutes before closing, the waffle bowl machines are turned off and the kiddie staff won't make new ones or turn the machines on because then they'd have to clean it again which might make them stay past closing time. We get the Elvis and Moostrax all season when available and we are Rumson residents and I am sick and tired of going in then waiting in line and then being told after waiting they won't make anymore. Tip: Make extras and if you don't sell them bag them up and sell the pieces the next day. Tonight we just got back and they had no plain large waffle cones either. Owner/Manager needs to have the kids stop running that place-a-muck! read more

Just love the name. It's the institute for ice cream you know!!! Simple order: two scoops: oreo + cream and mochachino. Heavenly.....creamy....buttery sugar fat.....unbelievable how rich and creamy. I'm sad it's prob about two hours from me....but that might actually be a blessing in disguise. read more

Love this place. We stop here every weekend on our way home from the shore. Even if it's packed, it's still never a long wait. They have a lot of employees. I had a guy make my cone this last sunday and it seriously could've been photographed. Their portions are generous and they all know what they're doing behind the counter. I wish they had black raspberry more often, but they've had it the past two weeks so fingers are crossed for more times this summer. I have found that sometimes the ice cream isn't as cold as it could be- ie, melts too quick, but I feel like that is a common issue with every single ice cream place I've been to down there and in Bergen County! And it's not always. This past weekend it was perfection. And the taste is worth five stars. Black raspberry with chocolate sprinkles is my thing- not easy to find either! Very few places have black raspberry. They're open pretty late in the summer and have decent parking. They also have a lot of outside seating, which is key. No outside seating for ice cream and kids is the kiss of death- and why I don't frequent a place everyone seems to rave about that's near where I live! read more

Had a small Mint chip cup. Two small cups cost us ten bucks. Not a problem if the ice cream is good. It was not. Please! What is so difficult about serving good tasting ice cream if you have a good location. A smart business owner will make sure his customers return. This place is one and done. read more

Yummy. Delicious soft served frozen yogurt. They also have these chocolate chip cones, which are amazing as well. The place looks really cute on the outside. read more

Rich and creamy death by chocolate for the wife and I grabbed a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. Decent spot for dessert while in Rumson. The line moved quickly and the young staffers were fun and willing to help. read more

I was visiting a local and she told me this place was to die for- and she was so right! The chocolate chip cookie flavor is out of this world, it tastes exactly like cookie dough. They have plenty of people working so the line moves quickly. I have never seen so many unique flavors! It is on the pricier end, but it is definitely worth it. read more
