Located in the "Village at Bedminster" - better known as the "King's Shopping Center" locally -…read moreCold Stone Creamery has been around at this location for at least a couple of years or so. Normally, I prefer to avoid chains, but I had heard good things about CSC so decided to give it a try. They sell a large assortment of items, including shakes, smoothies, yogurt, sorbet...up to elaborate ice cream cakes. We had individual cups this visit. The sizes (from their web site) are: Like It™ - approximately 5 oz. Love It™ - approximately 8 oz. Gotta Have It™ - approximately 12 oz. The server shovels (it's more like a shovel than a spoon) the ice cream onto what looks like a cold cutting board, then spoons in whatever add-ins (one is included in the above three choices, but you can add more) you order, and folds the add-in(s) into the ice cream like kneading bread. The whole process takes a minute or two, tops. The result is a very rich treat, and since the add-ins are folded in rather than mechanically blended, they seem to retain their properties better - in my case, the almonds stayed crunchier. Premium results come at a premium price - the Gotta Have It™ was $6 but I controlled myself and will get a 2nd dessert out of it. An outing for a family of four could easily break $20, so for us it's a special treat and not a regular stop. Fortunately, we're in the E-Club (you give your personal info and get some benefits) and with yesterday being National Ice Cream Day, we printed the special coupon from email and BOGO'd. Being in the E-Club also gets you a birthday treat (I don't recall what it is - probably a small for free?). It looks like they could have outdoor seating, but knowing Bedminster, it's banned (there were no tables out). Seating inside is limited - perhaps a dozen people, tops. I was gonna give it a 3, but it really is good stuff and the servers are nice.

Im so very upset !! I ordered a custom birthday cake from this particular store. I went through…read morestep-by-step. It took about 15 to 20 minutes just to answer all the questions. I paid in advance almost $70 for one cake. This was for my daughter's birthday on Sunday. However, when I went to pick it up, there was no cake, but they received the money. The girl behind the counter said they do not have the order for the cake so tell me how did they have the money? The girl gave me back the money, but I'm still have no birthday cake and people are arriving at my house. They had a cake in the freezer much smaller so I asked them for a discount for my inconvenience. They did nothing to rectify the situation of course I walked out of there very very upset now what now? I'm on the runaround to go get a birthday cake , I go to Baskin-Robbins. They have a cake, but they don't write on it. Happy birthday I wind up going to ShopRite and getting a stupid cake and they wrote happy birthday on it. This was an hour and a half out of my day while people arriving at my home and the kids are waiting for birthday cake. I will never ever buy anything from this store and if you don't want to be disappointed, you shouldn't either !!! one thing to make a mistake, but not to make good on , it is a new level of aggravation. I owned a restaurant for many years when something like this happens you have to make it better for the people you have to make good on this. I don't need anything for free, but it would've been nice for them to give me some kind of big discount on another cake which they did not The worst customer service I've ever seen !!

I tried the Chocolate Brownie and really liked the rich dark chocolate taste. We also tried the Amaretto Fig & Almond, which was different but really good. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have Key Lime Pie because I was looking forward to trying it. Maybe next time! The main downside for us is the seating. There's no outdoor seating, and every time we've gone this summer, the inside seating has been closed too. I really wish they had somewhere to sit and enjoy the ice cream, especially when you're there with family. On a hot summer day, it would be nice to just sit, relax, enjoy the ice cream and spend some family time instead of getting it and leaving. Good ice cream and we'll probably be back, but having seating available would make the experience so much better.

This has been my favorite local ice cream shop for as long as I can remember. AYLI has a very loyal…read morefan base (me included) and rightfully so. The whole experience is always nostalgic and 10/10. The staff is always so kind and more than willing to give you their thoughts about different ice creams, and provide you with samples. The shop was recently repainted and it looks so cute now! I do miss the old look a bit but I also really like the new one! The inside seating definitely needed a refresh and it's great now! The flavors are still just as good as ever, the brownie smores is a long time favorite of mine. Now the sizes- I get a kiddie because it is HUGE. I can never finish the small size. The size in the pictures is a kiddie for reference. I usually get brownie s'mores and another flavor to complement it, and top it off with sprinkles. On a warm day you'll see AYLI packed and even with a line out the door, but it moves quickly and it is worth the wait. TLDR: best ice cream around. get it!

There isn't a ton of space to sit but they do have benches outside. Definitely more of a grab and go shop if you're walking around in the area. I love the theme of this place and the Swedish fish added to each ice cream is so so cute. Would definitely come back to try other flavors, it's always nice to support a local shop when you can!

The most amazing place. The location is a bit inconvenient if it is a hot summer day at peak hours…read moresince it is right off the highway and there is limited parking. They rotate the soft serve flavors monthly and you can twist the seasonal flavors together. Pictured here is the coffee, birthday cake, and the twist of the two. Some other flavors they offer throughout the season include orange, pumpkin, graham cracker, and mint. Vanilla and chocolate are always available in addition to some non dairy flavors. The hard ice cream is tasty though I usually get soft when I come. Sizes are super generous and there is some outdoor seating as well. Bring cash!

Frozen Falls is my go-to froyo spot in the Basking Ridge area. As huge lover of froyo, I've scoped…read moreout my fair share of self-serve shops over the years. I gotta say, Frozen Falls ranks pretty highly among all of them and here's the reasons why... 1) So so sooo many toppings to choose from. Their selection is like nothing I've ever seen before. They literally have every last topping you could ever hope for. From fruits, to candy, to cereal, to chocolate covered almonds (say whaaaaat?!), they really do have it all. Try not to get overwhelmed because at Frozen Falls your wish really is their command. 2) Testers. In my opinion, every self serve froyo shop NEEDS to allow for people to test flavors. Frozen Falls does just that. You will have to ask an associate for tester cups (they'll do it for you), but my experience has always been that staff is super patient and willing to let you try as many flavors as you'd like. 3) Open late for when you have those 10pm froyo cravings. I absolutely love that they're open til 11pm on Fridays! 4) Clean, bright, and open floor plan. Staff kept the tables in tip top shape and the froyo dispensers were clean too. 5) Free and accessible water. These are the small details that Frozen Falls certainly hasn't overlooked. I can usually chug back a water after eating all the sweets so its nice that they keep a water dispenser right at your finger tips. 6) Pay by the weight so feel free to get as little (or as much) as you want!

The epic order though of Me Want Cookie was a hit with the kids, ice cream filled with all their likes - marshmallows and cookies and whipped cream.
