I chose the small cone with watermelon whip and a small cone with mango whip. This looks just like soft serve icecream but it isn't. It is frozen fruit like an icy smoothie. It is all natural so it isnt all that sweet. Its basically pureed frozen fruit. A small cone or dish of just whip is $6. You can select protein extras and other health conscious add ins for extra cost. There are also combinations of all kinds. I basically thought of Tropical Smoothie in a cone or dish. It was very refreshing with a bit of brain freeze thrown in for good measure. Not sure how well it will do in this location with soft serve a few storefronts down, and water ice at the other end, but business seemed steady and best of all, the one employee seemed able to get everyone served without long lines. Will definately stop in again for that refreshing something different on a hot day.

They have this stuff I'm kind of obsessed with called Banana Whip. It's frozen bananas pulverized to an ice creamy texture. Only it's better than ice cream because it tastes like bananas and it's actually healthy. If you don't want to be tooooo healthy you can get it with hot fudge and whipped cream. Best ever. Good treat for dogs too when it's hot out (minus the hot fudge and whipped cream). They also have great coffee and espresso which is hard to come by at the jersey shore (yep, I'm a spoiled New Yorker). The owners, Bill and Cookie are great. Go git some Banana Whip.

Sundae Best is seriously one of my favorite places in Avalon! They have two locations in town and both are absolutely amazing. We stop by every time we're there, sometimes more than once in a day! Their ice cream is hands-down the best. So creamy, so fresh, and they have such a great variety of flavors. I love that they're always mixing it up with new combos, but still keep the classics around. There's always something exciting to try. And I have to say their coffee is just as good as their ice cream. Their lattes are delicious, smooth, strong, and made with love. It's become my go-to coffee stop in town. Chris, the owner, and his family are the sweetest. You can tell they really care about their customers and put so much heart into what they do. It just feels good to support a place like this. If you're in Avalon, go to Sundae Best. You won't regret it! read more

Also, a reminder - cash only! Every time I've walked by here, there were always plenty of people waiting in line, even 10 at night. Sometimes out the door and near the parking area.

Listen, I get it, everything is more expensive now, but wow, these guys are next level with the fleecing of the unsuspecting folks spending a week at the shore. Maybe the owner is real bad at purchasing milk and chocolate and sprinkles and all, so their lack of business sense gets passed on to the consumer. Or maybe they think their ice cream is just that good. Or perhaps, they just think that their version of a DQ Blizzard should cost $8.75 for a small, which is more, much more than an actual Blizzard at DQ. Either way, this is a one and done for me. By the way, the ice cream wasn't bad but the high prices surely are. One other thing. The parking lot is crazy small. And everyone backs their cars into the spots. I think people who back in are nuts and deserve to overpay for ice cream.
