The cutest sweetest ice cream shop in the area, even comparing to the ones in Princeton. The staff is always so pleasant and cheerful, the ice cream is creamy and wholesome, with a great list of flavors. Prices have crept up over the years, but that goes for everything. Love everything about this place and I'm not even upset that they have seasonal hours only. Part of the charm is standing on line with other ice cream lovers of all ages-- with kids drawing with sidewalk chalk, dogs hanging around, hearing chatter in the air, and enjoying your treats on one of the benches. read more

A hidden gem! But a really cute ice cream spot, with lots of flavor options. Really enjoyed the coffee truffle fudge swirl, which had a strong coffee flavor and the perfect ratio of chocolate to cut through. Also got the cookie monster, which was also not too sweet but lived up to its name. The portions are very generous, so if you're looking for a small scoop, I would go with kiddie sized. read more

What's better than the feeling of grabbing ice cream from a charming ice cream parlor nestled in a small town? Something about it just seems like you're romanticizing your life by coming here and grabbing some delicious ice cream. Our favorite is between the sea salt caramel truffle or the cookie monster. Prices are fair and portion sizes are generous. One of the best ice cream shops around. read more

Fresh, local, quality ice cream. They've got so many fun and delicious flavors. I'd highly recommend the s'mores! Service can be slow at times, but they are dealing with lots of customers and are working hard. There's some outdoor seating, but taking out and taking a nice walk around Cranbury is probably best. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! read more

Adorable little ice cream shop in an adorable little town. There are benches right outside or you can stroll around the town and check out the lake views. The staff were friendly and the portions were generous. The ice cream was yummy, but not any better than a good store bought variety. Overall, solid option in this area. read more

Gil and Bert's is a cute and quaint "order at the window" ice cream shop in Cranbury. The ice cream is home made, rich and creamy; and the flavors rotate throughout the season. They have 3 sizes; kids, regular and large. On this particular visit, I ordered a kid size and it was the most generous serving of a kid sizes I have ever seen. I ordered the Chocolate Lovers Chocolate this week. It was good; creamy and rich, but I'm a chocolate fanatic! My sister had the Flying Fish Fudge. It was vanilla ice cream with fudge pieces, cookie dough and M&Ms. She loved it. The sugar cones were especially tasty for some reason, real crisp. Perhaps, it was a brand new package they had just opened. I've been here about several times now. The service is always very polite and super friendly. They let you try the various flavors before committing, so thats always a plus. In the summer time (weekends and evenings) the lines can be long, but they move along. read more

It must have been the timing because there was no line. Service was great and you can get samples if you're indecisive. Ice Cream Sunday: Comes in regular or large only. This option includes your choice of ice cream, two toppings, whipped cream, and a cherry. It's big enough to share but why would you want to. Kid cones: For big kids like me too! A generous portion. read more

Gil & Bert's Ice Cream - 07.23 menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cranbury, New Jersey

Located on Main Street as a walk up shop in the heart of Cranbury, Gil & Bert's Ice Cream is worthy of its high ratings. I love hole in the wall type shops that produce good product and provide friendly service at reasonable prices, and that's exactly what you'll find here. We went with the Viking Vanilla and Strawberry Fields. Both were rich and creamy, and were a delicious treat. While the Viking Vanilla was more of your typical vanilla ice cream, the Strawberry Fields really stood out as high quality as it contained pieces of actual strawberry inside...probably the best strawberry ice cream in the area. Although it's cash only, the prices are reasonable with generous portions, with a kids or regular size more than ample size to satisfy any sweet tooth craving. I'm happy to support small businesses like Gil & Bert's, and recommend them to others. read more

The ice creams are okay, like a decent brand ice cream from the grocery. We still visit the place because its close to home and it feels good to have ice cream on the bench in the shade of the trees. However, today we found out they made a new rule to allow tasting only three flavors per "order". We were ordering two cups with two scoops each. It's a strange rule to allow tasting only three flavors when we are buying four. I would understand if the limit was per cup, even then three seems to be a harsh limit. read more

The staff was kind, the ice cream is great, and the store is so cute! I know it gets busy but they are always so kind and patient with people. Highly recommend! read more

I stop for a sugar cone every once in a while and have each year since it opened. They give a nice valid, fair serving and the ice cream is always good. The only reason I held back from giving the 5th star is because they never seem to have some flavors I want when I stop. They do a have a good number of flavors but some are varieties of common flavors with a minor tweak to twist to them. I typically like simple and basic coffee ice cream or cherry vanilla. This place is still great and I'll still take what they have and enjoy. read more

Lovely window shop with lots of tasty options and an excellent staff. Had a scoop or their German Chocolate Cake and another of their Wicked Chocolate. Both were very good. There are a few benches where you can sit an enjoy your frozen treat. Ample street parking. read more

Gil & Berts is an ice cream shop on the side of a house. It's very homey and fits the vibes of the surrounding area. They have lots of different flavors and they are homemade too! :) I like to change it up from time to time, but I think their strawberry fields is one of my favorite flavors. It's dog and family friendly. There's chalk for kids to play with & use on the sidewalks. There's pup cones for the cute pups that visit. Nearby is also a lake & park so u can also take a nice stroll while having your dessert. :) read more

Some of the best ice cream in the area. Very rich and creamy. As many flavors as Halo, as many toppings as Cold Stone, better atmosphere than Four Boys. Warning: long waits on the weekend and no seating. read more

I love this place!!! This is one of the best ice cream places I've been to. It's a small family-owned shop but has some of the best flavor varieties and the most creative names. It operates from what used to be their formal living room (which I think is so cool; they have their entire business in a room and a window). You have to wait in a line outside and when I went, the line was beyond their ropes, even when it was raining. I got the gimme smores, and I loved the crunchy bits. My friend had the Better Batter Cake Batter, and that was also so good. The ice cream has so many cool fun flavors that I wanted to try them all. In fact, you can try them. You can ask them for samples of flavors, which is amazing!. read more

First time here can't believe I didn't know about this place before. Very cute location and benches out in the front. The prices are very reasonable, and for a small scoop it was a lot for me. Loved the options and very friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone who is near the area. Will definitely try more flavors as well as other options. read more

Labor Day is past but Summer Flavors and fun are still in Full swing in Historic Cranberry. Good portion size. More than Fair prices. Cheaper than Jersey Freeze, Jake's, and DQ Big Mike says they will be open through Halloween so make tracks and memories at Gil & Bert's read more

Maybe it's early in the season but the 2 times we have gone here they were out of half the flavors. Also, the lines were so long - 15-20 minutes (maybe lack of help or training new staff - only 2 on one window). Was always a great local ice cream spot and hope it gets back to normal. BTW the fudge ice cream sundae was very good. read more

Did a side-by-side comparison of Gil & Bert's in the same afternoon as Princeton favorites, Bent Spoon and Halo Pub. Gil & Bert win by a distance. Really excellent ice cream! Creamy but not gooey creamy. Right amount of sugar, fresh quality ingredients, flavors are spot on. Loved it. The window service was prompt and efficient. Lines and COVID distancing spaces indicated on the sidewalk. Easy credit card pay. The town of Cranbury is really pretty, and it was a quick and easy 10-min detour on my trip up to Rutgers. So glad I stopped to discover Gil & Bert's!!! Next time I'm in Princeton, I'll head here for dessert! read more

One of my favorite local ice cream spots. First of all, the location couldn't be any better. Tucked away in the quaint village of Cranbury, it's in the perfect little corner to wind down and enjoy a scoop on a warm day. Shady trees, cute benches to relax on, historical homes lining the sidewalks and a quiet Main Street make for a perfect setting. Always a ton of delicious flavors to try, many homemade as well. I tend to go for their s'mores ice cream when it's available. Really reasonable prices, too. Also, adults with smaller appetites--don't be afraid to order the kids cone! They'll serve it to you judgement free every time! Enjoy your cone on one of their benches (they usually have a tent that covers some of their benches during the summer months) or take a walk down Main Street and relax with your ice cream by the lake. There's always tons of chalk on the sidewalk outside the shop for the kids to make chalk art. I also always see people bringing their dogs for a scoop. Gil & Bert's is truly for everyone! read more

I love this place! The icecream here is so creamy and packed with so much flavor. The workers were super sweet and let us try as many flavors as we wanted!

Taste. Just good taste. Outside ice cream shop. Go to the window place order and enjoy

Ice cream gets 10 stars - I drive far out of my way to stop here. Counter staff are hard working, payient, friendly and helpful. Owners need to staff more than one person at the window especially on Sunday nights, or sell packed pints/quarts by call ahead only (or early hours). I just waited in line for over 45 minutes and saw 10 groups of customers leave the line without ordering. read more

Went today 10/15/24. Sign says we're closing at 4:15 due to staffing shortages. Called the phone. They are closed for the season. Their sign says they're closing for the season November 3. Save a trip! read more

A homely shop in the quaint downtown of Cranbury serving delicious ice cream. In the fall, you are REQUIRED to order the apple pie or pumpkin pie flavor. Seriously magnificent with crust pieces throughout. They don't give off an overly sweet, artificial flavor. Lines can get long in the summer, but move pretty quickly. read more

Love it There good ice cream my family loves it. All the flavors are What we Crave. Thanks read more

This ice cream was amazing! I recommend the summer peach! The service was 10/10! The place was really neat and organized!

Came here on a rainy Sunday and had a good time! First, parking was pretty easy to find because of the weather, although we still had to walk a little ways in the rain :) Unless I missed something, there's actually no seating area inside, so I was a little disappointed by that, especially considering the weather. I got the strawberry ice cream for myself, while my wife got the chocolate peanut butter. I actually really enjoyed my ice cream - I haven't had really good strawberry ice cream in a while, so it definitely hit the spot. On the other hand, my wife did NOT like her chocolate peanut butter ice cream. I tried some and completely agreed that it wasn't nearly as good as mine. It seems like some flavors are better than others, then. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Gil & Bert's and could imagine coming back to get some ice cream and walk around Cranbury on a nice spring day. Of course, if the weather was more pleasant, the line would probably be much longer, so pros and cons to both scenarios, I guess! read more

Their food truck was in Princeton and had a long line in front, so a friend and I decided to give it a try. The two girls working in the truck were so friendly and cheerful, even after standing there for hours! There was a board with a ten or so flavors listed, available in sizes kiddie ($2), small ($4), and large ($7) - weirdly buying a kiddie and a small was more ice cream than just getting a large, based on the ounces listed in the description. I got a kiddie cup of strawberry fields ($2), at the recommendation of one of the girls working there, and my friend got a small cup of wicked chocolate ($4). The ice cream was good but it honestly didn't seem very different from the higher end brands sold in grocery stores. The wicked chocolate was extremely dark and chocolatey, and not too sweet. My friend really liked it and thought it was 5/5; I thought it was good but not that amazing, though maybe because I didn't try very much of it. The chunks of strawberry in the strawberry fields were nice, but it really seemed like just standard strawberry ice cream but creamier :( If I ever see the truck around again or if I'm near Cranbury I'll definitely stop by and try more flavors, as the ones we tried were very standard and perhaps some other ones are more memorable. read more

This is one of my favorite ice cream spots! My sister and I were nearby and really wanted ice cream and searched "ice cream near us" when this gem of a place came up in the results. We both got the "hard yogurt" black raspberry chocolate chip and fell in love. We live pretty far but when we were in the area again, I made sure to buy a pint of the black raspberry chocolate chip for myself. I finished it and am already looking forward to the next time I'll be in Cranbury, which is such a cute town which makes you feel like you've stepped right into the 1800s. read more
