Can't go to Princeton without getting Thomas Sweet…read more It was great in the 80s and is still great now. You come here for blend ins, the ice cream if freshly made and good on its own but get a blend in. It's why they are famous. Amaretto ice cream with Heath bars. Amazing. Blending Heath bars is so underrated. Chocolate cookies & cream with Reese's peanut butter cups was fantastic. Going Oreo is like getting a second blend in for free - don't tell anyone. There are two other very good ice cream spots in Princeton and a third new one that looks interesting but if you are getting just one don't miss out on Thomas Sweet. Small seating inside, fun carnival mirror that makes you look short and fat (not ideal before getting your ice cream) - plenty of benchs outside. Service always friendly.

Not quite as good as it was way back when, but still great ice cream and the blend ins are great…read more Wish they had more blendable flavors.

On a late-night drive home from Maryland, we still had over an hour left before getting home and…read morewere craving some ice cream. A quick search for places that were still open led us to US Mr. Ice Cream. It was a little out of our way, but we were grateful to find an ice cream spot open until 11:30 PM on a Saturday night. I didn't realize before arriving that it's a walk-up window serving soft serve only, but they offer plenty of ways to customize your order. Between cones, cups, hard-shell dips, sprinkles, candy toppings, milkshakes, and more, there are lots of options to choose from. The service was friendly and efficient, and we had our treats in hand within just a few minutes. Since I needed a gluten-free option and still had a long drive ahead, I kept it simple with a cup of vanilla soft serve topped with rainbow sprinkles. Sometimes simple is exactly what you need, and it definitely hit the spot. The portions were generous for the price, which is especially appreciated these days. There isn't any outdoor seating, and the parking lot is quite small, so I could see it getting crowded during busier times. I also would have loved to see hard ice cream offered in addition to soft serve. Overall, this was exactly what we needed: a quick, affordable late-night ice cream stop with friendly service and plenty of topping choices. While I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, I'd happily stop again if I were passing through and looking for a sweet treat after hours.

Each trip is a tug of war of between which flavors to bring home, but no matter which three make the trip with me, they're always welcomed with open arms and open mouth. I'd put this ice cream up in a taste test against any of the fancy (and often more expensive) brands available in your supermarket. It's that good. When we go to someone's house and they offer up a brand like Häagen-Daz, Tillamok, Breyer's, or Jeni's, it's always a disappointment. They're just not as good. The rest of the store is a useful mix of daily necessities like bread and the aforementioned milk, and junk food like chips and cookies. Lastly, why is called the Trenton Farmer's Market when the location is in Lawrence Township? I realize Trenton is literally across the street, but it bugs me.

I really like to go here. I could easily buy the ice cream at the Halo Farm location next to the…read moreTrenton Farmers Market (and I do!), but sometimes I just want to go to this place after dinner, wait through the inevitable line, and sit down and enjoy some ice cream that's honestly as good as or better than any of the fancy brands at the grocery store. They've an impressive range of flavors, and I try to always try a flavor that I've not had in a long time, however I need to have my chocolate cherry more often than not. It's also very common to see people walking along the counter to pick their flavors. If you haven't made a decision, and the people behind you in line know what they want, do the right thing and let them go first. They give healthy scoops, and one scoop, although it doesn't sound like much, might be enough for someone with less post-dinner space available in their belly. If it's your first time visiting, watch the scoops being given to the person in front of you before making your decision. As an added bonus, during Spring and Summer Saturday nights, they have live music in the room as well. It's a cheap, fun date.

We got the cherry blossom and the summer peach flavors. Both were delicious! Especially good because they weren't oversaturated with sugar. This makes it a great place to go either after dinner or a few hours before because it won't ruin your appetite but you'll still enjoy the ice cream immensely! There's also a bunch of stores around that we would love to visit especially the antique store across the street so we look forward to coming back here again. There's only a couple of benches outside to sit at so plan accordingly because you pick up your ice cream at the window outside only. Prices are very reasonable, especially for such quality Ice cream.

As we waiting for our ice cream sundaes to arrive, the servers came outside and gave us fresh popcorn. It was such a small but sweet (and tasty) gesture. The owner came out and gave us our ice cream sundaes and chatted with us for a while about the life of an entrepreneur. She was so kind to give us so much attention and information on her life starting businesses in the local area. The mission of this shop is so pure and you can tell that the ice cream parlor was built with so much love. The ice cream and mango italian ice were both fantastic.

I think in many of our cultures, getting ice cream was somewhat of a treat and possibly enjoyed while on summer vacations. In this environment it gets even better. That was my mindset when seeing TIP for the first time. Clean and brightly colored shop with very nice outdoor seating options. Going inside you encounter a clean, colorful and brightly lit space with a few more tables. The counter was plexiglassed ala Covid style. Cases held about 12 ice cream choices, with maybe 8 more ice choices. Several options looked appealing to me. I went with old faithful chocolate and paired it with something I've never had, banana split. While I liked the chocolate, I really liked the split. It did remind me of getting sundaes and such as a child. The flavors were clean in both, and not overly sweetened. A better than average creaminess, but not in the upper tier. I'd get either again, or maybe one of the rotating flavors. The ice cream is not made in house, I was informed that it is sourced from local makers. I have a few suspicions as to who they might be, but of course more research will be required;). I really enjoyed talking with the owner and his two sons. To say this is a family business and or a labor of love is just barely hitting the mark. I'm tempted to tell the whole story here but I think it's better for the curious to just visit themselves. This is a business I would love to see thrive for many years. And as they succeed it could offer hope to other businesses or even families. Trenton needed this.

The shop is lively, brightly lit, and built for entertainment. Mirrors, neon lighting, energetic music, and creative seating give the space an upbeat atmosphere that makes a simple trip for sweets feel like an actual excursion. The staff members are welcoming, and the underlying concept is sound: choose your base and toppings, watch ice cream hit a sub-zero metal griddle, and witness your dessert get scraped, curled, and rolled fresh to order. Humanity has certainly invented less amusing ways to spend half an hour. Unfortunately, the culinary execution lagged slightly behind the spectacle. My son ordered the signature Mint Oreo taco roll, which arrived encased in a vibrant, unnaturally green waffle taco shell. It looked promising on paper, but the shell was paper-thin and carried a strange flavor that felt entirely uninvited. Whatever dye created that shade of green clearly had some explaining to do. My own custom creation featured peanut butter ice cream mixed with Reese's Pieces and topped with whipped cream. It was good, though not quite good enough to justify the steep price. Rollitos is an imaginative, energetic addition to the local dessert scene, and the friendly service counts for a lot. But the pricing is ambitious for what ends up in the cup. Four stars for the atmosphere, the theater, and the people. The ice cream itself still has some practicing to do.
