And the cookies were ground into the ice cream instead of being chunks, my preference. The standout is the seating outdoor area. I came off-season but it's a covered space on the side of the shop. Ceiling fans blow a nice breeze and there are plenty of tables. The staff were efficient but nothing to write home about.

This feels like an old school ice cream shop in the best way. The kind of place that feels like it…read morehasn't changed much in decades, and they should probably spell it "shoppe" because I think that's how they did it back in the day. What do I mean by that? I'm not really sure. But the prices are right, they've got tons of flavors and options, you're served by some friendly teenagers, and there's an enormous outdoor seating area if you decide you don't want to walk the Asbury Park boardwalk with your cone (or cup or whatever). I love that they offer a small, medium, and large option for cups and cones, and that the large is only $7. There's also a "short shot" for $3.50, which is not just the size I want to give my kids so they don't overdose on sugar, but also the only size I want to eat myself as well. It's a single scoop of high quality ice cream, and it's perfect. I can also somehow get out of here with ice cream for my whole family for less than a single sundae in Brooklyn, and that's a beautiful thing. They've got dozens of flavors, but for me, it's all about the salted caramel pretzel. My wife is always trying to get me to split that and another flavor with her, but I don't need anything else. Keep your inferior chocolate whatever. Give me my short shot of salted caramel pretzel on a sunny summer day, and I'm a happy man.

The soft serve is delicious and I enjoyed that they have different flavors of the day in both soft serve and Italian Ice. Their Italian Ice is served through the same type of machine as their Italian Ice. It's a smooth treat with powerful flavor. I had their version of a blizzard with their Oreo soft serve and some PB cups which I would highly recommend.

Cash only (but there is an atm).

I choose a snickerdoodle cookie and a Nutella chocolate chip cookie. Both cookies were crispy and delicious. I then choose the Mud Pie ice cream -coffee and brownie.

It was outstanding! We were all in heaven - it was incredible! ( sorry couldn't wait to take a picture- I had to taste first!) I love that we could order a pint size besides regular cup sizes. I also saw some other flavors that sounded amazing. We will definitely be back again soon to try many more flavors when we can! Enjoy

Each flavor of ice cream was also divided where no touching of flavors was done, which was a great idea. The four flavors I had are below. Brown Sugar Cookie Dough - This was better than I remember, and I enjoyed the actual brown sugar ice cream better this time. Key Lime Pie - This was alright. The crumbs were too soft, and the actual lime ice cream overpowered that. Porta - This was a porta ricotta and virgin olive oil sweet cream ice cream. This was solid but could not really taste the olive oil and ricotta presence. It tasted ever so slightly, but the sweet cream flavor was good. Pistachio - This was my favorite flavor tried of the day. I liked the pistachio pieces and the actual cream, which was very fulfilling.

The GOAT spot for ice cream on the Jersey Shore. Their milkshakes are next level, like, nectar of…read morethe gods level. Besides using their high-quality homemade ice cream, they add their signature "milkshake milk" (yes, that is a thing here), and the results are creamy, rich goodness in every sip. My go-to is the Java Jolt--coffee ice cream with rich chocolate chunks. It's basically a meal for me, with the right balance of sugar, cream and coffee to rival my dessert dreams. Now, no matter when you go, there is typically a line because Cone Zone is in demand! But the staff are fast, friendly and know how to keep things moving. There are a few quarter machines inside, so bring some change, especially for the kiddos. And there is a freezer stocked with take-home treats for your loved ones (my mom MUST have a Cone Zone ice cream cake for her birthday), including doggy treats! Jersey Shore visitors--don't miss out.

The main selling point is their homemade Italian ice, but they also offer soft serve ice cream, shakes, hurricanes, root beer floats, and sundaes. What sets their product apart is the fact that they pioneered the concept of dispensing Italian ice through a soft-serve machine. This allows them to produce a consistent, quality product that could be made much faster compared to using the old scoop method. They have your classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry as well as a variety of fruity flavors like cherry and mango. They keep staple ones throughout the year, and rotate seasonal ones weekly. The Long Branch location is conveniently located right across from the Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park. The parking lot is tight. There's plenty of tables outside to enjoy your treats. They are CASH ONLY, but have an ATM machine. Lines can be long, but the employees work quickly and efficiently to keep things moving. We got the Pistachio Italian ice in a small cup ($4.75). Portion size was generous for a small! The flavor was nutty, earthy, and had a hint of sweetness. The texture of the ice was smooth and light. A refreshing treat to cool you down during a heat wave!
