Maroons is the former surreal creamery location in Ridgewood and have to say it did not disappoint…read morewhen we went. There was a bit of a line to order as the two girls in front of us were asking to try every flavor and you could even tell the staff helping them was getting frustrated. I would recommend a limit to how many flavors you can try and posted signage. I shouted over them asking if we could order because there was a long line and those girls were just being extremely rude and difficult to the staff and other customers waiting. Have to say the flavors at maroons are very impressive whether you get soft serve or hard ice cream you will not be disappointed. We got the pistachio and butter pecan. You can tell the genuine homemade ice cream consistency by the ice cream and most if not all flavors are gluten free and have no food coloring which is so hard to find nowadays. It definitely gets crazy on weekends now that the warmer weather is out and the portions a bit oversized but you will love whatever you end up ordering! The inside has tables and high top seating and in the warmer seasons they usually put a few tables outside as well.

I was in the Ridgewood area around 9PM and I was craving some ice cream. Van Dyk's would normally…read morebe my go-to in the neighborhood but they were closed. Yelp led me to Maroons. My friends and I perused the menu before we went and they certainly have some unique offerings. The Asian-inspired flavors really piqued my interest (kulfi, masala chai, ube, etc.). Given how late it was the store wasn't too packed. Service was very friendly and the staff offered to have us sample the ice cream flavors. My friend and I opted for ice cream served in bubble waffles and the staff member informed me it would take a while because since it was so close to closing they only had 1 waffle maker going. They have such a wide variety of flavors so I'm sure you'll find something you like. I got a kulfi sundae and was very pleased with the how creamy it was. The bubble waffle was nice and fresh too. I tried my friends' ice creams and they were just as good. The place is spacious and clean. I could see myself coming back. Bonus points for having a clean bathroom.

The ambiance, with some 60s music in the background, is relaxing as I watch people walking by this shop. Natural light is pouring in from the front of the shop.

These are a couple of the indulgences I explored. Dubai Chocolate Truffle: This chocolate is a combination of Kilwin's signature pistachio and crispy kataifi. It may be small in size, but it is plentiful in taste. You will definitely crave more than one! Peppermint Ice Cream: I knew this was definitely going to be a hit when I spotted the sign on the sidewalk billboard outside. Crushed pieces of candy cane flavored chocolate are blended in the vanilla ice cream. It was creamy and the mixed topping added a crunchy texture. When you choose your desired flavor, pick any size cup or cone; the choice is yours. All of your dessert cravings will be fulfilled and you are in for the win when you eat at Kilwin's. #Kilwins #KilwinsChocolate #pepperminticecream #dubaichocolatetruffle #ridgewoodnj

I'll be back to buy some more popcorn when I am in the area next time.

I liked the creativity of the dishes on the menu and I liked the milkshake I got (peanut butter, yogurt and banana). Decor was cute, simple and on theme (bees). There wasn't much room for sitting so it is best to take things to go. One thing to note - if you get a milkshake and ask for sprinkles, know that the sprinkles will be generously mixed into your drink and not just dusted on top. My daughter got that and ended up drinking my milkshake because she was overwhelmed by the amount of sprinkles she got. Overall, cute stop - recommended to try.

It possibly also could be the type of non dairy choice too. I also tried the vegan lemon olive oil cake slice and will definitely come back again for it; such a treat! (I wish it was less than $10 a slice!) I recommend for a quick stop and for coffee dates!
