They have a good number of flavors and options, including a new strawberry patch one. More importantly, they offer pistachio and cherry vanilla, my benchmark for deciding if a place's ice cream is good. Diane's Dairy hits the mark on all spots. The treats are also reasonably priced and competitive for the serving size you get. I noticed during my last visit that they also have some separate boxed gluten-free items for sale like ice cream sandwiches. Diane's Dairy gets five cones out of five from this ice cream lover.

We ordered a banana split, even though it wasn't on the menu. They had the ingredients, so they made it for us in an açaí bowl. The bananas were all at the bottom. I wanted to ask them to put some on top of the ice cream as well, but didn't. Reminder to self...always inquire. They ran out of caramel, and only had chocolate syrup, not the strawberry, so we just took the chocolate syrup. They had quite a few toppings to choose from, and allowed us to try various flavors. We only tried one each. We also ordered a milkshake asked to be made thin, a glass of milk, which they don't sell in the fridge, but poured some since the kid wanted it, and one of their soda's. We then took one home to go. The young man in there was so sweet, genuine, has excellent customer service, friendly, the kind of guy you want working/running your establishment. You rarely see that in a teen, but they're lucky to have him working there. The games were such a nice touch like: tic tac toe, chess, a few we didn't know. It felt like a country home. The ambiance was perfect with the sliding barn doors and decor. Check this place out in Pine Brook, NJ.

They have ice cream, coffees, and cookies for sale. We tried the chocolate ice cream and a biscoff cookie shake. The flavors are very deep and rich.

Riverdale, NJ - it's spring and almost summer which means it's time for ice cream!…read more Located just off the northbound side of route NJ-23, next to a car wash and a Shell gas station, Curly's is a family-owned ice cream shop (three generations an counting) that exudes old school nostalgia and vintage quaintness. I can picture Richie Cunningham, the Fonz and the gang roll up in a Chevy Bel Air after class, their friends working the counter. The ice cream is homemade, and in addition to the classic flavors, there are more interesting creations such as Aztec chocolate, banana Oreo, raspberry cheesecake, cannoli cream, coconut, maple walnut, and seasonal flavors such as apple pie, pumpkin, candy cane, etc. While the ice cream is creamy, the flavor is not as strong or distinctive as I like. It gets busy in the summer, and even in nice weather like an unusually warm last March weekend, the parking lot was filling up, to my surprise. It's not obvious from the front, but there are some picnic tables behind the ice cream shack for seating.

Dear Yelp, How have…read moreI never reviewed Curly's before!? Mind blown. Curly's is not our nearest ice cream shop, but we make it a point to come here often - the ice cream is that good. My favorite is a small cup of coffee royale and graham slam. Dear husband is newly dairy free. He knew he was ordering dole whip today but really wanted it on a waffle cone. He was pleasantly surprised when the counter person went in the back to check the box. And excellent news- the plain waffle cones are dairy free! He said the orange dole whip was very good! There is street parking or they have a lot. Tables inside to eat or benches outside. Love, Nicole

And wow, what a combination - the smooth peanut butter brought almost caramel overtones to the vanilla, while the Oreo cookies gave a softened crunch. They do offer samples, which is great since there are plenty of house flavors to choose from. Vibes-wise I definitely got that The Dairy is a family-run business. On an only mildly warm late spring day in April, there was still a steady trickle of to-go and dine-in customers. The Dairy feels like Americana.

And even though the summer heat is starting to set in the soft serve held-up and melted very slowly. Service: The friendly staff was very quick with our orders and with all the different ice cream flavors that enticed me, I will definitely make many return trips. Atmosphere: This place has the energy of a local staple. It's easy to imagine coming here with your basketball team after a game or after some finals. The seating area is also a big plus if you want to just sit, eat your ice cream, and chat.

Gym, Tan, Creamatory!!!!!…read more Summer time in Jersey is all about GTC, and not Gym, Tan, Laundry (GTL)... How can a summer be complete without indulging in a sinfully, decadent, velvety, creamy- ice cream... and this ice cream shop did not disappoint on ALL those levels. The owner, Joe, is a diabolical ice cream genius with the concoctions he has come up with. I have never in my life seen an ice cream menu to this extent ever before. When I heard about this spot I had to come and check it out for myself, AND I was blown away... hard ice cream, soft serve, coffee, floats, sundaes, milkshakes- your imagination can run wild here, and this place will still amaze you. Go big AND Go home... I had to "GO BIG" and get a 3 scoop waffle cone (Nutella, Funky Monkey and Cannoli). These were the flavors my tastebuds craved! The best part was the ingredients that went into each ice cream flavor. You can actually see the ingredients packed into each scoop... every bite bursted in robust flavor. With that said, I had to "GO HOME" with 3 different flavored pints. And, since then I've been eating ice cream everyday- SMH! I am sooo amazed by the Cookies-n-Cream. It's filled with soooo many cookies that it's not your average vanilla based cream... so come to the dark side. This is the first time I have fallen in love with a place that makes it by packing that much flavor. Needless to say, winter is coming and these pints will be perfect for a cozy indoor indulgence. MOST importantly... NO freezer burn OR brain freeze! The last thing you want to have is a headache/toothache as you bite down or lick an ice cream cone. In order to compete with the big players in this league, you have to know how to make it from scratch and not cheap out on the ingredients. Having a creamy consistency is HUGE, and tasting ice chips is a BIG no-no for me. Creamatory lives up to the name- which is the icing on the cake... and by the way, they also make their own ice cream cakes. PARTY TIME... This place is built with a huge dining area and party room in the back for some child friendly fun-time. You can either grab some cones or a cake to make your party a memorable one, because with this vast space you can make any kid happy here. FYI: --This is located right off of Rt. 46 in a small shopping center with a large parking lot.

We told the staff. They were not concerned in cleaning it up. We had to because we were stepping all in it. They seemed not trained in dealing with customers or maybe they just didn't care. Again the ice cream was quite good. But was definitely a weird experience. They also rung us up and walked back from the screen so was confusing. Will try again since it's local and was tasty

I decided to get their Dulce de Leche milkshake without the whipped cream on top. The milkshake was OK, it didn't really taste like Dulce de Leche, but that was to be expected since I haven't been able to find a place in New Jersey that is accurate with that taste. I do have to point out that the ice cream they sell here, from looking at the containers, is "Gifford's Famous ice cream," so it'll match other ice cream places who use the same supplier. The prices were reasonable and there was a fair variety of ice cream, but it not being "homemade" (though they don't claim to be) is what isn't great for me. I believe they have a couple tables inside that you can sit on which is nice, and it seems like they also sell crêpes, but I didn't see them on the menu, though I did see the machine.
