I visited Clinton for a short Sunday afternoon day trip and visited JJ Scoops on my stroll. The employee was very kind and let me sample a few different things. I was impressed with every single flavor I tried but settled on the coconut ice cream. It was probably the best ice cream flavor I've ever tried- I wish it came in pints! It had bits of coconut and chocolate and wasn't too rich either. Definitely a must try if you're in the area! read more

Stopped in over the weekend to cap a day exploring the area. Nothing not to love! -Decent variety of flavors -Cuteeee little shop on the corner -Delicious scoops! I got a scoop of blueberry cheesecake and a scoop of coffee. A pairing I highly recommend. Both delicious, creamy, sweet and oh so good. They have a couple tables outside but nothing inside. This is more of a grab and walk kind of place. Somehow, even on the hottest day in a long time & a Saturday, we got there with no line, but I am sure that is not the regular. Worth the wait, I am sure! Clinton is an adorable & small town. Grab a scoop here and explore a bit, walk to the bridge, check out the red mill house. Enjoy! read more

I think this is now called Sweet Scoops or just Scoops. They have a nice variety of ice cream flavors. The girls working there were energetic and friendly, great with the kids and being patient while my son read every flavor or ice cream available. It's a small place but there is seating outside, the room felt a little too hot for my liking, I was sweating in there while ordering, but that would be my only complaint (and some may have liked the temperature, I just run very hot) read more

I was driving back to New York with a craving for ice cream, and came across this place. Initially I was skeptical as the rating score wasn't great and there weren't any pics of cookies 'n cream. Well, I'm here to change all that. This place checked all the boxes. Their Cookies 'n Cream that had that silvery gray consistency with healthy helpings of Oreo. The scoop size was generous, the prices were not outrageous, and the location was picturesque. For any travelers, it's not too far off the highway so you can get back on track pretty quickly. I'll definitely return here on my next trip to/from PA. read more

It's a cute little ice cream shop in downtown Clinton, NJ. Their ice cream is creamy and good. If I revisited the town of Clinton, I would return. I like the vibe of this ice cream shop and Clinton Town. The service was good; I have no complaints here. I was looking for Rocky Road, but they were not serving that ice cream today, so I got a maple walnut ice cream instead. It was good. read more

Cute local ice cream shop. Polite young lady behind the counter. Some of the best mint chocolate chip I've ever had. Unfortunately they were out of the chocolate peanut butter but their plain chocolate was an acceptable replacement. Btw....cash only. read more

Tasteless ice cream. Tried 3 different flavors. Blah. Hard to mess up ice cream, but I'd never waste my calories on this.

Simply delicious. Plenty of great flavor and topping options. If anything, it can get a little overwhelming with all of the possibilities all over the place in different formats but it's what you can expect from an ice cream shop. The staff was courteous and I would recommend this place. Just be prepared for some street parking and have cash available (or a debit card for the ATM). read more

Cute little shop on Main Street in Clinton. Lots of interesting flavors, the young lady at the counter was very pleasant, and the prices are very reasonable for the area. Everyone liked the flavors they selected, so we will definitely be repeat customers! read more

As a non native to New Jersey - we heard good things about JJ Scoops and wanted to check it out. A MUST STOP BY IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA! The staff there were all super friendly and went ABOVE and BEYOND as a team effort to see if their dairy free flavor was also gluten free (like calling their boss for me!). Thank you for the delicious ice cream that was also safe for me to eat! read more

Serving nothing but commercially made ice cream (Jack & Jill out of Philadelphia) and charging a super premium price. What a joke! $10.80 for a banana split Don't waste your time or money Support a real store made ice cream parlor.... read more

Pretty good ice cream! The place was adorable and conveniently located near the middle of town. The girls inside were so sweet and gave a lot of helpful recommendations. I decided to try the cone of butter pecan & bourbon. Very good, but the ice cream was very melty and I prefer mine to be a bit harder. This place is cash only also, which always annoys me because I hardly ever carry cash. The ice cream did have a great, unique flavor and I definitely liked it. I will come here again. read more

My friend and I had just left Frenchtown looking for dessert as a reward for a good morning's work. I cranked up YELP and found this tiny corner ice cream parlor - fortunately, right on our route home. We were surprised that, in February, a small town ice cream parlor would be open but, happily it was. They have lots of tempting flavors - I think the brand served is Turkey Hill. Not what I consider "premium" (my wife is a fan) but certainly quite acceptable. My friend had one of their exotic flavors - mocha chip but I went for my stand-by, vanilla. Both were good and fresh - no ice crystals! That means they know what they are doing - bravo. The main reason to visit is probably their wall menu of interesting sounding shakes, sodas and sundaes. They boast: if you can think of it, they can make it. I guess this sort of thing is more of a temptation for a younger ice cream fan and I'm sure quite popular in the warmer months. For me, I'm more of a simple flavor ice cream guy - chocolate, vanilla and coffee being my downfall. In a sugar cone, of course. By the way, the size of my "single scoop" was generous. A double scoop may have been too big for a cone - more of a cup thing or a cone in a cup (I've see that to.) The shop was clean. The server was very friendly and she had good 1960s music playing in the background. Overall, a fine place to pop in and rest after working up a hunger for a cone or shake. Recommended read more

J J Scoops is the perfect example of a traditional small town ice cream shop. It's cash only, so be sure to hit the ATM. Inside you will find every combination your heart desires. The service was quick and the treat was delicious. Clinton has beautiful sidewalks and a bridge to stroll while you enjoy. I loved every minute of my time at J J's! read more

We came here after having lunch at Designer Dawgs next door. The line was long and slow but there was only one guy working and was covering the front and back so we felt bad for the guy and I won't knock a star for that because perhaps someone called out and also the guy was hustling. I ordered a soft serve vanilla which was really good, our oldest loved the strawberry Italian ice, our youngest throughly enjoying eating (and wearing) the Cookie Monster, and my fiancé really enjoyed the blueberry Maine. The serving sizes were a little funky (my small was smaller than our kid's small lol) but they have a wide variety of flavors and it's a cute shop on Main Street. We would try it out again. read more

Well, I won't be returning here. I have never felt more unwelcome. I get that this is a small shop and crowds can form, but to tell me to order or get out (by the owner too) is quite rude. I'm not a young kid loitering. I was with a group and a friend was ordering while I looked for what I wanted. Don't have ice cream on display if I'm not supposed to look. It's a shame this happened because it's a cute location and shop, but I felt insulted and would rather go to Just Chill right down the street for friendly staff and great froyo. read more

Cutest ice cream shop ever!! Staff was friendly, ice cream was delish, And there were so many options to choose from!! Highly recommend

I stop in here all the time after taking my dog hiking nearby because they're the only place within miles that makes dog ice-cream. They make it there themselves from all natural, harmless dog ingredients like peanut butter, bananas, and ice. My dog, Nikya love it and whenever we pass the shop she starts begging for it. Super friendly staff and they have a seating area in the front and out back in a fenced in patio area. The quintessential small town local ice cream shop. I recommend the "doggie ice-cream" for your furry friends and you can never go wrong with their vanilla soft serve. Note: you can't bring your dog inside but the staff is more than happy to bring the icecream out to you if need be and the locals are always friendly enough to either buy it for you or hold your dog for you if you're going there alone. They are cash only. read more

After gorging ourselves with heavy weight "dawgs" at the shop next door, we spy the ice cream shop. We stroll up and down down main street for 15 minutes to walk off the dawgs, and return to J J Scoops for desert. Small, clean, and friendly. Walls covered with recipes for some great sounding sundaes and other goodies. Large selection in the L-shaped cases, plus a list of additional flavors available "in the back". Wide variety of unusual blends, not so much vanilla-strawberry-chocolate. Available in 1, 1-1/2, and 2-scoop servings, cup or cone. Mrs. I said her waffle cone was very good, unfortunately, "cones" and "mustaches" ate not mutually complimentary, so I had a cup. IC is not homemade. According to the person who waited on us, it is a wide array of premium flavors, from various makers, selected annually at an IC convention. We both chose the "Jolted Cow".... sweet cream ice cream with brownie crumbles and a couple other great ingredients. Excellent. read more

It's a small shop, but with friendly service. We got a scoop of pumpkin hard ice cream and a chocolate peanut butter Sunday. There was a good amount of peanut butter swirl in the ice cream. There are no seats in side, there are a few out side. Most people stand eating their ice cream or you can head back to your car. A restaurant would easily run us 50% more for the same dessert. Note cash only, patio in rear. read more

Don't know what JJ Scoops ice cream tastes like, they only accept cash. If there's one thing that is beyond annoying, is local businesses stuck in the 60's and 70's, not accepting credit cards, or, having minimums. I recently moved to Clinton over the past year, and love supporting local businesses. Nonetheless, the counter help said cheerfully "we have an ATM!". Yes, because, after ATM fees, I want to pay $8 for an ice cream sundae. And no, credit card fees are not so extraordinary that it's worth losing business over. I know, I am in retail business. We accept credit cards no matter how little you spend. Its the price of doing business and bringing convenience to customers and driving volume, unless a business wants to selectively report income. You know what they say: One person leaves your business, multiply that by ten. I simply went somewhere else. read more

The employees that I believe are named Brian and Amanda, are just wonderful!! Brian, although a new hire, was very professional and knew how to do his job well. And Amanda, was such a great mentor for Brian and the collaboration and teamwork of the staff at jjs is amazing. The ice cream is great to, so come on down to jjs. read more

Works for me! Small town ice cream place with great service and a lot of options to order from. I only had some kind of Dippin' Dots like treat (forget what the name of it was) but I am sure you could find something to suit anyone's fancy here. read more

ICE cream is unique and decent and the staff was very nice and helpful. The best thing about the place is the flower garden in the back where customers can sit and enjoy their ice cream. read more

This was my first time visiting JJ Scoops. Absolutely delightful and oh so yummy. The coconut ice cream is creamy and reminded me of a good humor coconut bar of my youth. I also had the lemon cookie flavor, which was very refreshing. My husband throughly enjoyed Java chip and a scoop of Maine blueberry. I must say the Maine blueberry was bursting with blueberry flavor. You cannot go wrong with a stop here. As an added bonus they have a delightful patio that is overflowing with colorful flowers. You will feel like you are in a botanical garden. I will definitely return as there are many more flavors I wish to try. read more

Call me bias, but everything's pretty excellent. Good ice cream; good service. Never that long of a wait. We work super fast when there's a rush so be patient! Nice local business. read more

I highly recommend getting your next ice cream cake here. I got a 10inch (serves about 12-15) with chocolate/vanilla and hot fudge/crumbles. Everyone at the party raved about it. "Best cake ever!" I got calls after the party asking where did I get the delicious cake. The shop is staffed with local young people, who are very well-trained and polite. It's nice to see an owner/manager instilling a strong work-ethic in their employees. Small businesses like this deserve much praise and patronage. Go check it out! read more

I recently found myself passing through Clinton. I had never been before, I had no reason to go to this part of the state. The town itself is cute and clean. It's seldom that we take the kids out for ice cream, but since it was hot and we were exploring we decided to stop in. When you enter the building the first thing I noticed is how low the ceilings are. Yes, it's an older building, but it feels a little claustrophobic. It's not a spacious place. There really isn't anywhere to sit, 1 table outside I think is it. The choices were not as robust as I would have hoped for, but they were satisfactory. The service was friendly enough and quick. Prices were fair. I don't think this is the type of place that anyone goes out of their way to get to, but it serves it's purpose. If I could, I would give it 2.5 stars. read more

I loved the place Kinda small but the hot fudge Sunday was very good The price was not that bad but a little bit on the higher side for some things I would say they could be a competitor for Polar Cub read more

Took my grand kids there last night- was annoyed that the one kid working was giving her friends free ice cream in front of us. (She didn't think anyone noticed). I got a couple of sundaes for the kids and they really add up when you want to add any toppings. I got walnuts on mine....maybe I should have read the busy menu they have up to see that additional charge. Ice cream was average (one seemed like it had freezer burn). read more

Rude staff, enough said. I will never waste $1 more at this place. Go down the street to Just Chill for an all around better experience!

Great ice cream shop in downtown Clinton. Cash only...good ice cream, friendly people.

Stopped in real quick for their Bourbon Butter Pecan...freaking HEAVEN in ice cream form. Good thing I live in Florida or I'd suffer from regular cardiac arrests from eating here too much. read more

Very good ice cream. I stopped in here with a group after having some dinner in the area. They have a nice selection and they had salted caramel pretzel ice cream - it's easily become my favorite flavor. I must say that the ice cream I had here was some of the best I've had in a while. For some reason, I wasn't expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised. There was only one person working while I was there, but she did a good job of keeping the line moving. They don't accept credit cards but have an ATM for you to use. Prices are also pretty cheap. I can't see how you can go wrong with this place - I just wish I lived a little closer. read more
