(My rating is more of a 3.5) ** CASH ONLY ** My brother and SIL took my family and I here during a visit. They raved to us about the local creamery that made all of their own homemade ice cream, and had a very dynamic and rotating menu of flavors. As ice cream lovers, we were excited to give it a try! The inside is very eclectic with wall to ceiling DIY murals, and what appears to be thrifted seating inside. The women at the counter were nice but not very welcoming, just kept to themselves and tried to keep the long line moving as fast as they could. Important to note - they're CASH ONLY. Despite all of the unique flavors, I felt a bit limited (to be honest). Very little topping options as the ice creams are designed to have the toppings inside. This makes it hard to get any degree of customization if there's a flavor you like but has one or two no-go ingredients (which was the issue I had most.) The temporary flavor I had was fine, but didn't blow me away or seem any more special than my local spots back home. I think this is an interesting place but I think if I was local, this wouldn't be my usual spot. They truly cater to people who have an adventurous palette and like trying new things, which limits the kind of guests you can attract, or friends you can bring along. (I personally find something I love and tend to stick with it for ice cream, which would be difficult here. And most in my family don't seem to be as adventurous.) Having said that, I noticed they have affogato on the menu so will have to come back and give it a shot next time I'm in town. read more

Staff is always welcoming and friendly. You can tell a lot of love has gone into all these homemade ice cream. Each flavor combination is creamy and well balanced. Nothing overpowers the overall flavor. Go give them a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Latteria - Cheesecake ice cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Swedesboro, New Jersey

okay pop off laterria this stuff slaps holy moly. i met a woman who would not let her son get a basic flavor of ice cream because she was here. and i quote: "no son of mine gets mint chocolate chip at laterria" read more

This is the best ice cream i have ever had and the service is great. Lots of seating if you want to eat it there.

BLUF: Very good ice cream, in a decent sized space with a very "Mad Hatters Tea Party" Vibe. I've read other reviews that mention that the "line is always out the door here," but on a Wednesday, around 6pm, me and my daughter were the only people there. Speaking of that, I'll touch on this: I get that not everyone is going to find my daughter as adorable as I do. I fully understand this. BUT, my daughter runs in, super excited to be getting her drug of choice, and loudly announces to the woman behind the counter: "CAN I HAVE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM WITH CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES AND M&MS PLEASE!" She's 4, so this was like a direct dopamine injection for ME, but the woman responded with "whoa." And not like a "woah little lady! Look at YOU!," it was more like, "whoa.....settle down kid." NOW....I chalked it up to MY interpretation of the situation, and just let it go, but then I read a review that said that the woman told a table of children that "this is not a playground," during her visit, so maybe there's a little fire with that smoke. I didn't use that against them in my rating, but it was definitely something that pinged my radar. Maybe this place isn't as kid friendly as you might typically expect an ice cream shoppe to be. This is fancy ice cream for the grown ups. Which is where the loss of star actually comes in. One, it's adult prices. For 2 childrens single scoops of, admitedly very good ice cream, it was about $9. It's not highway robbery, but it isn't cheap either. Honestly, I didn't mind the price when compared against the quality. They also have approximately a bazillion flavors, that apparently change weekly, so that's a plus as well. Aside from the price, they don't have sprinkles, or any toppings really, other than fudge, which also lends credence to the "this isn't a playground" accusation. I would say this place really doesn't cater to kids, or rather, just much more caters to adults. Still, the proof is in the pudding, or ice cream as it were, and this place delivers. It's fantastic ice cream, and that's what matters most. I'll definitely come back, and do the ordering for my daughter. read more

Amazing ice cream and lots of great flavors. We actually worried that Covid would kill this business but they survived and we were thrilled.

I've had ice cream from all over the place...I'm like a little kid when it comes to this stuff...or maybe even an addict! I can easily say Latteria is thee best ice cream I've ever had! The flavors are rotating, and always made fresh. The service is also great. Everyone is always ready to serve you with an incredible smile. What's good here? EVERYTHING!!! They also do have "adult" ice cream (there's alcohol in it!). If you're looking for some of the best ice cream our country has to offer, check out Latteria! read more

What amazing ice cream. Very cool spot in a shopping center. The interior seating area has a hipster vibe with mix-matched tables and chairs and a painted mural on one wall. The back of the place is where the goodies are located. There are giant chalkboard walls that lists the many ice creams. There are no toppings, but lots of the flavors incorporate toppings, which is unique but cool. I ordered the small with coffee and black cherry chip. The ice cream was perfect. It was creamy and not too sweet. There were plenty of chocolate chips and actual cherries in that scoop. I was blown away. Prices are super affordable too. Get here fast. Cash only. read more

I don't know how Latteria gets their ice cream to be so fresh, delicious, and sweet. From first bite, you can tell it doesn't taste like any other ice cream joint. The type of ice cream they give out is so much more fresh from other ice cream shops and brands. I've gotten Latteria for a while now and each and every time I do it's great. 100/100. If you haven't been here yet, your missing out. This place is easily the best ice cream joint around town. Keep doing the great work!! (P.S, love the artsy vibe the whole place has!) read more

An amazing adventure in ice cream. The flavors are so delicious and varied, you become addicted very easily! Always a must family outing.

Fresh and never stringy with their exotic, rich, and amazing flavors. Close your eye point to the chalk board and don't worry whatever you choose will be outstanding. read more

Unbelievable. I guess your employees aren't competent enough to know it's illegal to ask what disability a service animal is providing. It's also rude to be racist to customers. There's better places in the area to get ice cream from that actually respect their customers. I am never coming here again. Also want to add that we saw cockroaches in their store. read more

Lattiria is one of the best hard serve ice cream places I've ever been to. last summer me and my family went at least two times a week and they always have delicious flavors. The service is amazing the employees are very kind and quick. they have music playing a great place to meet up with friends. It is pricey but TOTALLY worth it. read more

The most amazing homemade ice cream. Reasonably priced and big portions. We drive 30 minutes to get there and it's worth it!

Delicious ice cream! The flavors of ice cream here are amazing! If you like to try different flavors and seasonal flavors, then this is the place to go. They are a cash only business so just make sure to have the cash! read more

The best ice cream ever. Nothing more to say! It really is the best - it's apparent the ingredients are high quality.

Went here on a recommendation of a stranger I met at a festival.... My friend if you read this review, thank you for the recommendation! This is the best gem in Jersey! I'm still searching for the words, it's beyond words. Just go experience the best ice cream of your life! read more

Not happy with how they handle peanut/tree nut allergy. Most ice cream places will accommodate by scraping top off and using fresh scooper. Not here, sadly. read more

The employees and management are prejudice. They served us LAST because we're Asian. When it was finally our turn there were no manners or a friendly "hello". AFTER we paid they used my service dog as an excuse to kick us out. The manager had the audacity to ask what service my dog does for me which is highly illegal and not appropriate to ask. When I didn't give an answer (as I am not obligated to) she continued to be rude to get us to leave. I will never spend my money here. If you want a nice, friendly, homemade, delicious ice cream go to Hilltop Creamery in Blackwood. read more

This place is ice cream Heaven! The atmosphere is adorable, welcoming & eclectic. I've even bought jewelry there before. Every time I go I get a different flavor of ice cream & it's beyond outstanding! My favorite ice cream shop Ever! Just go already & get your double scoop :))) read more

Homemade ice cream with unique flavors! I tell everyone to go here when they visit and I bring everyone here. The inside is so cool! Very artsy. They play religious music which is odd but to each their own. The employees are very nice and quick at what they do. Cash only! read more

They literally do everything wrong (no internet? Random hours? Closed when I need them the most? Softly playing Christian rock in the background?) But they make the best darn ice cream I have every had- and I have traveled the country and world. read more

I like ice cream, ok I love ice cream! I have traveled all over the country, and there is nothing comparable to Latteria! I can't even explain it! The different variety of flavors keeps you coming back to try something new every time and they are all something to write home about! It's not all about the ice cream though! The kids that serve the ice cream are friendly and hard workers they deserve a lot of credit for the great experience! read more

Latteria - DECK OF CARDS- Vanilla ice cream, red velvet cake and Oreos! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Swedesboro, New Jersey

10/10 some of the best icecream I have ever had. My favorite so far is Sunny Day : Vanilla ice cream with a raspberry swirl and pieces of lemon cupcake. Reminds me of a lemon poppyseed cake with a raspberry filling my sister once made for me. Eating their icecream pretty much spoils all others, so be prepared to now think of ice cream as an extravagance...but it completely deserves it. I keep hoping they will take flavor requests since I have a love for Strawberry Rhubarb ice cream with pieces of pie crust, and that flavor is very hard to find. But, I will just keep hoping and enjoy all the other wonderful flavors meanwhile. read more

This eclectic and brightly-lit coffee-and-ice cream-shop is a rare find in the Swedesboro area. Quality products, free samples galore, and sweet staff set this place apart and make it shine in an otherwise mostly bland shopping center. On a somewhat recent visit, I ordered a root beer float. While it was made with A&W (nothing spectacular, but not bad either), I was surprised when they handed over the can along with the float. It's not every day that a place gives you the extra root beer! I thought that was a nice touch. Good luck, Latteria! I hope you stick around for a long while. read more

World's best ice cream. This is a local favorite that got some national attention for its quality.

There are only two ice cream stores in the country that I rate 5 stars: Izzy's in Minneapolis/St Cloud and Latteria in Swedesboro. Latteria makes their own stuff, and it's really the best I've had in the northeast. There must be cows out back for every flavor. Do the coconut cows chew coconut cuds? Flavor, consistency, and balance are the hallmarks of this ice cream. The toasted coconut and peanut butter are excellent. Good latte and espresso here as well. Go out of your way to visit Latteria. read more

This place is truly a must enjoy :) The Flavors are so many and so delicious! Real stuff! Real ice cream! Highly recommend!! Don't miss out read more

Quaint, homey ice cream shop with homemade ice cream each week. Each flavor is made in small batches for optimal freshness. They offer unique flavors like Hershey white chocolate, dark roasted coffee, Oreo cheesecake, and much more-flavors change daily. Ice cream comes from organic cream and there are no additives or preservatives. The owner is a gem too. Jackie is truly dedicated to providing incredible service and an unforgettable experience. The store itself is unique as it has hand painted walls and furniture. Note: this establishment is cash only but so worth going to the ATM for! Don't miss out on this delicious experience. read more

Absolutely best homemade ice cream we have ever had. My child and their friends only request this ice cream. Service is always great as well. Line gets long but you will understand why once you get a scoop or two read more

I consider myself an ice cream snob and this ice cream is the 2nd best in NJ. The customer service is the best in NJ! I love the eclectic flavors and the lines move quickly! This is a must visit ice cream shop!! read more

Great flavors! Cute interior. The whole family loves it! Cash only so be prepared though.

Best ice cream in south jersey. Great fresh flavors and choices. Would definitely go back

For my money the absolute best in New Jersey. Freshly made flavors daily. Might not catch the same flavor twice in a week some time. Made from scratch and the taste proves it. Plenty of room for kids with a real family vibe. Flavors you can't imagine. Plenty of parking. Long lines that move quickly. read more

This place..... You can't write a review about this place and capture the love, the flavor, the all around magnificence that this place is. The staff is great, the ambiance is entertaining, and the flavors/ice cream in general is all around PHENOMENAL. It is cash only, BUT i would walk 100 miles to the nearest ATM just to withdraw my last $1 to get a mini-cone. The mini-cones are great for those who can't decide on one flavor. The waffle cones are amazingly scrumptious. And the little gumdrop at the bottom of all the cones just put a finishing smile on one and all. An amazing surprise to an already satisfying experience. read more

Awesome spot. We now come a few times per week. $1 cones for my 1 and 2 year old are awesome. New flavors constantly. If I go by ice cream and service alone 5 stars. 4 stars because I wish they offered a few more items and toppings to pick from aside from just ice cream read more

Simply the BEST! A gourmet homemade ice cream with unique flavors that will suit everyones taste. Worth the drive!

Awesome awesome place. We came here for our son's birthday, and the ice cream at Latteria is absolutely amazing! The staff is friendly and patient, and the atmosphere is cool. Yes cash only, which isn't convenient, but once you know, you can plan ahead. Lots of dietary options for those with allergies. It does tend to get crowded, but great minds think alike! read more

The best ice cream I've ever had. Everything is fresh and imaginative and delicious. Just had a blarney stone hot fudge sundae, which was amazing. Don't let a long line deter you, it moves fast and is so worth it. read more

Latteria deserves more than five stars. We have been coming here for years and have never ever been less than more than satisfied. To start, the atmosphere is beautiful. We always love looking at the paintings on the wall and all the seasonal decorations. Christian music is always playing in the background, and it adds to the soft and homey feel. All the workers there are always in a good mood and super kind and helpful. Whenever we come, Jenny always smiles and helps us out. The owner Jaclyn, always recognizes us, and says hello with a huge smile on her face. You can tell Jaclyn truly loves what she does, and it really shows in a number of ways. The biggest being her ice cream. Both my dad and I have tried ice cream all over the country, and Latteria is by far the best. Some say it is the best in South Jersey, but I believe Latteria is the best ice cream in the country. Not only is the ice cream super creamy, but it is filled with flavor. The flavors are always changing and are always unique. My favorites include any variation of peanut butter, toasted coconut, and pumpkin. Pumpkin is seasonal to the fall, but it is so worth the year long wait. Even if you don't like extravagant flavors, just their vanilla and chocolate ice creams alone will be the best you have ever had. It is impossible to go wrong with a flavor at Latteria, as every flavor is made with the same creaminess, flavor, love, and care. Latteria is a true gem in South Jersey, and we are beyond lucky to be able to have the best ice cream made right here. read more
