    We were visiting and the kids wanted ice cream so we headed over after dinner. They had a decent amount of people coming and going at regular intervals. There's ample street parking and the store itself is small with a handful of tables that seat two inside with more outdoor seating via picnic tables. There were two people inside and they were really nice and helpful. It took me a while to figure out what to get - their menu is extensive and they also have off menu items - to the point I was getting impatient with myself, haha. (I was trying to get my husband to decide on something but he just "didn't care.") They serve a lot of what you might find at a boardwalk, which is ironic because we were at one just the day before. Ultimately, I got two kiddie cups with vanilla and chocolate soft serve for my kids. For my husband and I to share, I got us an off menu green tea with strawberry syrup milkshake the recommendation of the lady helping me. It all came out to be around $16, so not bad. I tried some of the vanilla soft serve and it was creamy and not too sweet. The milkshake was on the subtle side until I got halfway down and the amalgamation of matcha and strawberry - which didn't taste artificial - was more apparent. I liked it a lot! It wasn't mixed perfectly because I'd encounter the occasional tiny pocket of powdered matcha, but I didn't mind at all. I didn't find it too sweet either. Yay! I'm not sure if it would be the same if I got another flavor combination milkshake but this was a winner. Some notes: all their scoopable ice creams are egg-free EXCEPT for birthday cake... because of the birthday cake. Also, they don't have a restroom on site but we were pointed in the direction of the coffee house across the street, with whom they have a partnership with. The coffee shop was supposed to be closed but, luckily, a community meeting was being held there so it was open for longer. My youngest is allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, and kiwi and the soft serve was perfect for him. No issues at all. He usually goes for scoopable ice cream so I'm glad he finally thinks soft serve options are okay. A great place to visit for a treat and they have something for everyone! They also have non-dairy [they use oat milk], gluten free, and/or sugar free options... with how she's said all their ice creams are egg-free, I'd say the dairy-free ones should be vegan-friendly.

    Came to this place on a week day night, maybe a little over an hour before closing. I saw it on an instagram ad/reel. We met a very lively young lady who was very informative, attentive, and patient. I got the Sunday with 4 scoops of ice cream and just whip cream. I got the banana pudding ice cream, a blue ice cream, strawberry cheesecake, and a bourbon flavored ice cream. I also got a pupcup. Everything came to around 10/11$. Let me say, the place is cute and staff is wonderful, but i did not like the ice cream at all. It tasted so artificial. All the flavors tasted fake and artificial. I only ate less than half then through the rest away. I would recommended this place to people, but I wont be returning.

    4.5 Cute little Jersey shore vibe ice cream shop in Edison. Walk up from outside or go in store. Milkshakes, sundaes, soft serve, tons of flavors and toppings. Also offer flying saucers and Philly ices. Staff- Nice, patient with the kids as they select flavors Variety- lots of flavors and toppings for any combo Our purchases: Coffee ice cream waffle cone Milkshakes- Mint choc chip, chocolate pb, vanilla pb- all good flavor and medium consistency Two mint chocolate chip small dishes with toppings (peeps, marshmallows, chips) One soft serve twist with strawberries and pineapple (good, but pineapple was not great) Will come back when close by- good flavors overall. Also offer a few outside tables and a bench, more than enough room.

    Sugar free butter pecan two scoops

    We went to try this ice cream place in the Clara Barton area of Edison Township. I ordered sugar free butter pecan ice cream. They have several sugar free ice cream flavors, like chocolate, butter pecan and vanilla. Wifey ordered regular coffee flavor ice cream, three scoops. They opened in November 2021. Their ice cream is made by Hershey's Creamery from Harrisburg PA, not affiliated with Hershey Chocolate. The best, good quality, delicious ice cream on earth. Counter serving staff are friendly and helpful. Well lighted ice cream shop in the area. Menu price is fair much less than What's the Scoop in Metuchen, NJ. I should have given them 5 , but the place is quite small to have a public bathroom and inside dine-in area. You need to eat and hang-out outside. Good time to hangout outside on warmer days. Parking is only on curbside, you're not allowed to park in-front since it's reserved for public bus stop. I will return to try other ice cream flavors they have.

    What I love about The Ice Cream House is their broad menu which connects treat names to NJ shore towns, as well as the assortment of fresh fudge which I was able to sample while waiting for my ice cream dish. The strawberries and cream fudge and dark chocolate coffee beans were my favorite. The supplier for their fudge products is out of PA, and if you know anything about farm life and food artisans in PA, they are famous for delivering the freshest ingredients. The same rings true for the fudge and the ice cream at this establishment. On the night my family decided to visit, it started raining cats and digs on our drive over, but I was resolute that nothing would rain on my ice cream parade! Glad we weren't dissuaded and continued on our visit because it was well worth it. We were all stuffed on ice cream and the other sweet things - like crepes, waffles and cannolis- that accompanied our individual treats.

    I'm happy to review a local small business like The Ice Cream House. Pros: 1. The young lady who helped us was great and we even tried her recommendation of her personal favorite. (I think it's caramocha coffee. Something like that lol). 2. It's less then a mile from our house so I can walk. 3. I grew up on the shore so it was cool seeing the town names as signature products. 4. Nice looking shop. Gives you the feeling of being down on the shore. 5. The Ice cream is good. Con(s): 1. It's walking distance from our house. Lol How am I going to work on my summer body when I'm having ice cream that's so easily accessible every day?! Nothing but good things to say about this ice cream shop that is already a fan favorite in the area.

    Nice small ice cream, milkshake and Crepes place In Edison. They also have ice cream cakes. I felt the salted caramel was too sweet, but vanilla was ok. We got the warm lava cake which was average, huge portion size so plan to share. Even the kids scoop was two scoops! My 4 year old did not like the strawberry. Good customer service .

    Bubble waffle cone

    Don't let the melty photo discourage you from trying. Despite being messy, my ice cream was quite delicious! The bubble waffle cone is made fresh, but since it was hot, it definitely melted my ice cream faster. The staff was extremely friendly! The inside is very cute. There's tshirts and other items for purchase. I really loved the mural on the wall representing beaches in New Jersey! There's a bench to sit on inside. I utilized the outdoor seating with my pup who enjoyed her pup cup. We will be back. :)

    a cake with a slice taken out of it

    Super service! I should have called sooner to arrange for a cake and not only did they first calm me down they made me an awesome cake. Worked to incorporate the elements I needed. Delicious as ever! Only second to the outstanding service.

    Custom-made ice cream cake! With Oreos, cookies and cream ice cream, and strawberry ice cream, on a vanilla sponge cake.

    This place is small but super cute and cozy. It's perfect for a chill brunch, a date, or even just…read moreto relax for a bit. We ordered the Mediterranean Sunset and Dragonfruit Mule (non-alcoholic), and both drinks were refreshing. The White Cheddar Mac & Cheese and Smoked Gouda Arancini were really good, and everything looked great presentation-wise. The Seaside Cod was also a solid option, very balanced with potatoes and salad. The Biscoff Cinnamon Roll was the star--highly recommend it. Overall, a very aesthetic and peaceful spot. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

    I honestly don't think there was any espresso in my drink, it tasted like straight sugar and milk…read more I was really excited to try this place and had high hopes, but the experience was so disappointing I actually considered asking for a refund... and then decided I'd rather just get out of there. The space clearly isn't big enough for what they're trying to do, and you can tell the kitchen staff is struggling in a makeshift setup. Everyone working there was very sweet and seemed to have good intentions, but it also felt like they're not being set up for success. We waited almost 15 minutes just to order and not because there was a long line. The staff just seemed completely overwhelmed and backed up. We ordered tiramisu and cookie butter lattes, and it took another 15 minutes to get them. When they finally came, both drinks tasted like milk and sugar. I genuinely think they forgot to add espresso. At that point, the place was so packed and chaotic that we didn't even bother saying anything, we just left and went across the street for bagels and coffee instead. Overall, it felt like a huge waste of time, money, and gas.
