First time he's said this for any ice cream parlor. You can choose any hard ice cream flavor, add toppings like various cereals, fresh baked cookies, other cakes like Twinkie's or candy bars and make it into a personalized soft serve. They also offer milkshakes or the standard hard ice cream scoops. The personalized ice cream customizations, cleanliness, friendly service and decor makes this place a great place for kids and adults!

It's a…read moregreat, classic NJ fall experience with fresh apple cider (sooooooo delicious out of the spigot) & donuts. I don't think there was a petting zoo though, if that is part of your childhood memories (I used to go to Tice's & Van Riper's). Our intent was to get a pumpkin to carve (they are a bit pricey!) and some cider. We were blown away, though, by the market, which has everything, including a lot of "gifty" items (chocolate lollipops, coffee, fudge, coffee, etc.) and farm stand produce. We also indulged in the apple fritters, sold in a food truck outside. They were amazing! They somehow combined the best of a healthy, fresh apple treat with fried, funnel cake decadence. We decided that we will be coming here every fall from now on!

I was visiting a flea market in the vicinity and saw that Delicious Orchards was nearby- so thought…read moreit would be fun to stop. Grabbed some organic produce which was all excellent- didn't love that the conventional section was much much bigger and there were less organic options. The bakery though is what brings it up to 5 stars- first of all, wish I had my kids with me because they would have enjoyed the experience. There's a burger window outside, a little cafe inside, a truck 'play structure' outside for little ones with a little slide.. beautiful plants and trees for sale .. the most delicious smelling jasmine plant I wish I took home.. a plethora of truffle cheeses (and other interesting cheeses)... and best of all the bakery. The raspberry cream puff was off the charts amazing. So good that I took a picture of it after slicing to post here. There are things I'd skip (really expensive organic eggs for instance.. rather go to Whole Foods for those and pay less) but otherwise - worth a visit if you're in the vicinity !

The bent spoon always commands that kind of line and is always worth the wait. In addition to their rotating flavors, they also have pints for sale, some baked goods, and even some hot chocolate (in the colder months)! The ice cream itself is perfectly rich and creamy, with a great consistency. The flavors are always unique, but not unwelcome. I always make a point of trying to stop in whenever I'm in the area. Just don't be deterred by the line: It's worth it.

10 stars! This place has consistently been one of the best ice cream shops I've ever been to. Even…read moreon a relatively cold spring evening there was a line that stretched halfway down the block. The shop itself is very small with extremely limited seats (if any) so plan to walk around town while you enjoy your ice cream. They have their usual standard flavors, and several seasonal ones that rotate. They allow samples so I'd recommend trying out their rotating flavors even if it sounds like something you normally wouldn't go for. They can make just about anything taste good!

It's not a complete beach day without getting an Italian ice! Strollo's Lighthouse has been a…read moreJersey Shore staple for over four decades. The main selling point is their homemade Italian ice, but they also offer soft serve ice cream, shakes, hurricanes, root beer floats, and sundaes. What sets their product apart is the fact that they pioneered the concept of dispensing Italian ice through a soft-serve machine. This allows them to produce a consistent, quality product that could be made much faster compared to using the old scoop method. They have your classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry as well as a variety of fruity flavors like cherry and mango. They keep staple ones throughout the year, and rotate seasonal ones weekly. The Long Branch location is conveniently located right across from the Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park. The parking lot is tight. There's plenty of tables outside to enjoy your treats. They are CASH ONLY, but have an ATM machine. Lines can be long, but the employees work quickly and efficiently to keep things moving. We got the Pistachio Italian ice in a small cup ($4.75). Portion size was generous for a small! The flavor was nutty, earthy, and had a hint of sweetness. The texture of the ice was smooth and light. A refreshing treat to cool you down during a heat wave!

I had the coffee and instead of getting it in a cup, like I usually do, I got a cake cone. It was a great decision! When was the last time you had your ice cream on a cake cone?
