    Sign/Parking lot

    My family and I have been coming here for years. The ice cream and service never disappoints. The place is small and doesn't have a lot of parking, but it's still a nice spot.

    Recommended by a friend, today brought me to Polar Cub. Famous in the area for having the best ice cream. Actually witnessed a debate over whether this place or Cliff's is the best. I couldn't chime in since I'd never been to Polar Cub. But I have now and I'm HANDS DOWN siding with Polar Cub. It's thick, holds it's own on a hot Summer day, the sprinkles were good and the cone wasn't stale. The service is quick and friendly and there's sufficient seating.

    This is a great local gem! I got the flurry of vanilla soft serve with Heath bar mixed in. Portions were bigger than i expected and prices fair. Staff was attentive and quick. Loved the outdoor seating around the corner, and will definitely be coming back.

    Best ice cream place. Cash only. Parking is hit or miss. Good pricing and good sizing

    This place is a summertime staple. The ice cream is delicious. The line can be long at busy times of day, but it's worth it. Cash only.

    I never really understood the hype around polar cub but once they reopened this year, I gave it another shot, and became completely converted. Their soft serve is SO creamy and smooth that it feels unreal in your mouth. You also can't beat their prices -- a small cup of small serve is already super generous and only about $3. I also love how they do featured flavors every month! I tried the pistachio soft serve last month and it was super unique. It wasn't my favorite flavor but the texture was creamy and amazing. I recently tried their salted caramel soft serve and peanut butter soft serve (both featured flavors in August 2020), and they were delicious! The peanut butter soft serve is seriously something I could eat everyday. I've been converting the rest of my family to Polar Cub and can't wait to go back

    How can you make soft-serve ice cream something special? You'll have to ask them. Amazing every time. And what you see in the picture is a medium. It is Americana incarnate. Lots of families hanging out eating ice cream at a walk up ice cream stand. What could be more fun and wholesome than that. We moved away for a while and this is one of the things we are looking forward to the most when we are back.

    Nestled within the Liberty Village (closed) footprint, Humdoo Ice Cream sits humbly amongst other…read morelocal businesses that share Stangl Road that parallels the Black River & Western Railroad line. We were enticed to come here through a Facebook event, and glad that we made the trip. I will be remiss if I did not mention the scenic relevance of Flemington, and the beauty of it in conjunction with this review. Aside from the railroad, Flemington appears to be a beautiful town, where agriculture and suburbia clash together to bring about a diverse display of these sub-cultures of Americana. This really set the stage for visitors coming into Flemington to Humdoo. Stangl road, itself, is set apart, almost like a secret nook. Coming off Main Street, the thoroughfare looks like it would lead to a residential area, but is in fact quite the contrary. Local businesses emerge and line either side of the road as you turn onto it, with roadside parking that you don't have to parallel park into. Humdoo Ice Cream nestles amongst these businesses that create an outdoor, walking mall of sorts. Age, amongst other factors, really make us suckers for punishment when it comes to fancying and enjoying ice cream. Perhaps it was an "one-off-day" for us, but the frozen treats at Humdoo were amazing and delicious without the complimentary side effects. The flavors of the frozen cream were just right - not too sweet, but also not too milky if that makes sense. I believe the ice cream were only available as hard ice-cream (no soft-serve) and held great together (did not melt away as quickly as other ice cream typically do; perhaps it was the season that play apart in this as well). The flavor, texture, and consistency made Humdoo's frozen delights incredibly enjoyable. There was a decent range of flavor selections which were all unique in their own way - I imagine that you cannot go wrong with any of the flavors (although I highly recommend the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle). There is an indoor restroom within the creamery, however seating is very limited. The business does accept credit card as a form of payment. It was delightfully surprising to find a local creamery open as early as February while still being in the winter season. We are definitely going to come back for more when the weather gets warmer to give it another go!

The service was great! The girl working was very nice and friendly. I had the campfire smores, cookies and cream & the coffee ice cream. Out of the three, I'd recommend the coffee ice cream! There were brownie chunks in it which made it taste extra good and the coffee flavor wasn't overpowering. The campfire flavor was very sweet, good if you have a sweet tooth. And the cookies & cream was light, not too much flavor. The tables could be a bit cleaner but all else is good. Overall, a very nice spot to have ice cream and relax outside!

I noticed that Jani was helping customers one at a time, whether they ordered smoothies or frozen yogurt with toppings. However, when it became my turn, that suddenly changed. After I paid for my smoothie, she did not start making my order and instead began helping several customers behind me in line. I ended up waiting while at least five other customers were served before my order was even started. Eventually, another employee who had been working on ice cream orders became available and helped me instead. I honestly felt singled out and uncomfortable by the situation. I do not know why I was treated differently, but the experience left a very negative impression on me. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

It's a short walk away, and they are now in Epic Cookies' old location. This new space is bigger and more front and center. A lot of people did not realize that their old location was even there on Division Street, until I took them there. They just opened this location about three days ago, so it was pretty busy when I visited today, and even Karin and her husband were in there helping out! Both very kind people! I came in for my favorite "Death by Chocolate" cupcake and was excited to try two new flavors, Coconut Guava and Lemon Raspberry. I usually check their website ahead of time to see what seasonal cupcakes they have before visiting, I saw those and rush over here. P.s. please bring back the Versailles Cupcake from Summer '25! That raspberry filling is heaven sent, and part of the reason why I came by to try the Lemon raspberry flavor! Even with the rush, the staff was just as friendly as always. I really love it here and always bring my family and friends when they are in town! I'll definitely miss the charm of the old location, but I'm excited for them in this new space and hope that it works out well for them!
