    Hinlickity's is located in the Highlands next to one of my favorite local Italian restaurants. The shop normally closes at 9 on Saturday night but we lucked out as they had a crowd and were open past 10. The shop looks like it is only offering outdoor seating at this point, I saw through the window that the inside is well furnished like an ice cream shop from the 1950's would look. The selection of ice cream is solid and they offer some unusual flavors like creamed corn. I tasted their coffee and rocky road, both very good. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. If you are in the area I recommend them. I would advise that you call first to confirm that they are open, we have dropped by a few times during their business hours and they have been closed. Good luck and enjoy!

    A beautiful 50's setting adorns this newly opened creamery right in downtown Highlands. Check it out. A variety of different flavors are available at reasonable prices. This ice cream has a full-bodied fat content, definitely not ice-milk. I delved into a vanilla cone and scarfed it down quickly. Excellent. There are counter seats and tables to eat inside and listen to "oldies" on their jukebox. It's very upbeat here. The owners are very cordial ( husband & wife). They even have a gift area to purchase Knick knacks, candy's al all in a 50's vein. They also have an ice cream truck which I have seen in town selling ice cream. There's a nice vibe here.

    Highlands clings to it's past and that's a good thing. Here wedged between the bluffs and the sea you'll find a town that hasn't sold it's soul to the north of the Driscoll bridge crowd. At least not yet. Real stores, bars and restaurants catering to real people. Al H. junior and I were looking to kill a few hours being beached out. The day was as hot and humid as a dog's breath. So the closer to the water the better. Walking Henry Hudson's trail north of town was great if still a bit hot at waters edge. After, we decided on ice cream. Hinlickity's is a bright cheerful gem on the main drag. We ordered outside not realizing there even was an inside and enjoyed our ice cream alfresco. Al H. Jr went for Cherry Vanilla and gave it high marks. I had a root beer float that was fantastic and they gave me the can of root beer to top it off. Nice touch. Service was super and prices seemed reasonable. So next time you're in Highlands save room for ice cream and make it Hinlickity's. I scream for Ice cream. Hinlickities....go!

    Very cute place with great ice cream. We got the brownie sundae which was delicious. Just wish they had a little more of a selection.

    THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ OK ice cream texture, but lots of delicious flavors. - Ice cream in the tubs didn't look solid enough, so freezer power probably could use a boost. + Tried Chocolate Cherry Explosion, Swiss Chocolate Orange, Blueberry Crumb Cake, Black Raspberry, Banana Chip and Cappuccino Chunk flavors - Allllll were very good flavors and delicious, but melted a littttle too quickly for my liking. + They have a sprinkle machine where you can add your own sprinkles. There is a sign on it that tells customers to pay before you add your sprinkles, but everyone was just using it anyway without paying. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Girls working here were friendly and quick with their service. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Plenty of tables and seats inside. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Cash only, so make sure to come prepared. However, there is an ATM machine inside if you don't have any mula with you. There is about a $3 - $4 fee to use it.

    Vegan pineapple and strawberry soft serve and can do combo swirl!…read more Toasted vegan coconut ice cream. Good prices. Friendly service. Cash only. Great place to stop after Sandy Hook.

    Solid, solid ice cream located RIGHT ON the highway…read more After hitting up the beach on a Saturday afternoon, the sweltering, hot temps called for us to go grab some sweeeet ol' ice cream and, fortunately, Polar Bear was only a few minutes from the beach that we were coming from. We arrived at around 3:30 PM and there was barely a soul here, although there were customers puling off the highway every once in a while to make a purchase. Polar Bear is a strictly outdoor ice cream establishment, meaning they have a few benches to their side, but there is no indoor seating area for customers. The ice cream shop has pictures of ice cream and multiple menus plastered everywhere on their windows, so it's a bit overwhelming when you walk up to them, but they basically serve hard ice cream, soft serve, sundaes, shakes and Italian ices. If you're lost and not sure of what to order, feel free to ask them what their best selling flavors are (LIKE THE DEER IN HEADLIGHTS THAT WE WERE). They told us that their most popular ice creams were the hard Black Raspberry and Banana soft serve, so we ordered each on a small cone to themselves. Verdict??? Personally, I liked the Banana soft serve more. It DEFINITELY was banana, based on the taste, and it was very refreshing. Honestly, I'm not a huge banana ice cream fan, but this was really good. As for the Black Raspberry, it was solid, but I felt that it needed to be jussssst a tad sweeter because I didn't think I could taste it all that well. I will say that the serving sizes of the ice creams were huuuuuge, so it was nice to feel like we got our money's worth on the small cones. Also, if you've got kids with you (like us), you can ask for a free cone to split some of the ice cream onto multiple cones, which we do alll of the time everywhere. Definitely a nice little ice cream shop and I love that it's located right off the highway on State Route 36, so if you're traveling in the area, you don't have to go far because all you have to do is literally pull over and park.
