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

Maroons is the former surreal creamery location in Ridgewood and have to say it did not disappoint…read morewhen we went. There was a bit of a line to order as the two girls in front of us were asking to try every flavor and you could even tell the staff helping them was getting frustrated. I would recommend a limit to how many flavors you can try and posted signage. I shouted over them asking if we could order because there was a long line and those girls were just being extremely rude and difficult to the staff and other customers waiting. Have to say the flavors at maroons are very impressive whether you get soft serve or hard ice cream you will not be disappointed. We got the pistachio and butter pecan. You can tell the genuine homemade ice cream consistency by the ice cream and most if not all flavors are gluten free and have no food coloring which is so hard to find nowadays. It definitely gets crazy on weekends now that the warmer weather is out and the portions a bit oversized but you will love whatever you end up ordering! The inside has tables and high top seating and in the warmer seasons they usually put a few tables outside as well.

I was in the Ridgewood area around 9PM and I was craving some ice cream. Van Dyk's would normally…read morebe my go-to in the neighborhood but they were closed. Yelp led me to Maroons. My friends and I perused the menu before we went and they certainly have some unique offerings. The Asian-inspired flavors really piqued my interest (kulfi, masala chai, ube, etc.). Given how late it was the store wasn't too packed. Service was very friendly and the staff offered to have us sample the ice cream flavors. My friend and I opted for ice cream served in bubble waffles and the staff member informed me it would take a while because since it was so close to closing they only had 1 waffle maker going. They have such a wide variety of flavors so I'm sure you'll find something you like. I got a kulfi sundae and was very pleased with the how creamy it was. The bubble waffle was nice and fresh too. I tried my friends' ice creams and they were just as good. The place is spacious and clean. I could see myself coming back. Bonus points for having a clean bathroom.

They have dessert crepes, waffles, shakes, churros, cakes, sundaes, chocolate dips, etc. Whatever you're craving, they most likely have it. I ordered the S'mores crepe ($10.99) which included nutella, graham cookies, and marshmallows. The prices do seem high for a dessert, but the portion sizes are fairly large. You could easily split it between two people. I'm a big back at heart, so I can finish it all by myself ;) The crepe was heavennnnn sent omg. The employees are always friendly and work quickly. They make everything fresh on the spot, so depending on how busy it is, you may have a bit of a wait. This location doesn't have much seating and is pretty small, so it's more of a take out spot. It's also street parking on a very busy street in Paterson. Don't lose your mind, just think about the desserts.

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.

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.

I know everything is expensive these days but it is not 3 times better than McDonald's. For the similar price, I think Rita's is so much better. I think I'll stick with the Cinnabon next time.
