Now I'm almost ashamed to admit that although rolled ice cream has been a thing for quite some time now, this was my first time trying it. The shop itself was a decent size with a few tables and chairs. When I arrived, there was a bit of a line, but it moved pretty fast. They had a system going...they took a few orders and then made the orders. When it was my turn to order, I got the strawberry shortcake without the sauce on it. The ice cream was tasty and was just what I needed at the time.

Plenty of seating and great for hot summer days! I was pretty full and was happy they have a Junior Scoop option. I immediately gravitated to the Banana Oreo flavor which had real banana flavor (not the artificial Laffy Taffy type) along with the Oreos which meshed some rich, smooth, and slightly buttery flavors. I can tell it wasn't as fresh but overall, it was decent especially for the price. Good try; I would try their gelatos next time!

We are always so well taken care of by Jed, the Lead; Pat, the Manager; and Pupay, Owner and outstanding Chef! I am vegan and my partner is not, and we both love the tasty dishes we are served. We begin with a yummy papaya salad made vegan, with fish sauce on the side for Tom. Then we enjoy vegetable dumplings (last night deliciously fried!). Following that we both enjoy one of their their wonderful curries: Tom's red curry spicy, with vegetables and shrimp, and my red curry (vegan and less spicy) with vegetables and tofu (pictured below). In summer months, we always look forward to finishing our meal with their special mango and sticky rice! The restaurant also has a bakery open 6 mornings a week, serving a variety of specialty coffees and homemade pastries. I am so grateful to this restaurant for accommodating my vegan diet easily and happily. For the best in Thai cuisine when in Verona, NJ, be sure to enjoy a great meal at Arroyo D theThai Elephant!.

The fries were also okay, definitely more than enough to share! Though they were packed, the people were still incredibly nice and patient, so I have to say that their service was great. They have some tables inside and some outside, so you should be able to find a spot after around 10-15 minutes! I'm not sure if I'll give them another try, but I don't want this to discourage people from trying them! Definitely pick a time that is less crowded than I did (I went on a friday night)!

The olive oil didn't seem to pair super well with it though. Got the Adana kebab and mixed grill to go (sampled all the items at the restaurant while still hot). Chicken shish- fairly tender. Slightly charred. Good flavor Lamb shish- cooked ~ medium with a little pink. Good flavor but could be a bit more tender. I do prefer my meats medium rare so it could just be that. Adana kebab- Tender, good flavor. I think it could've been a bit juicier? Burger- super tender and full of flavor. Best meat by far. Veggies and rice- both very good. I appreciate the attention to the sides. Service - 10/10 Food- 8/10

Beautiful, Fresh, and Worth a Visit…read more I stopped by this cute, beautiful, and very clean restaurant a few nights ago, and I'm really glad I did. My wife tried the branzino, while I decided to go with the dorado. Both fish were fresh, perfectly cooked, and very well flavored. The ambiance is also fantastic--warm, inviting, and a place where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. The portions were generous, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other dishes, especially the shish kebabs and lamb kebabs. I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

So this must be one of the best IceCream places for miles, and IT IS! When we came in & got our ticket, we were # 56. The # they had served so far was 35! So it gave us a few min to walk up & down the streets to view all the cute stores. After about 10 min they called our #~ we felt like, holy cow! What fast service! I had the mint chocolate chip w hot fudge. But by the time I was able to sit down on their bench in the store, my hot fudge had mostly melted my IceCream quite fast. So I went to the counter to ask for half a scoop so I wasn't eating icecream soup. The girls behind the counter said to ask JOHN, an owner(his dad is also an owner) & when I showed him my melted icecream & that I would pay for an extra scoop, and you know what JOHN said? He said they can't add it to my existing cup & turned around (to my surprise & delight) scooped up a "healthy size scoop" into a sept cup, ON HIM, $0!!!!! I told my husband- omg, now he has a customer for life! So cool! That one act of kindness was sooo nice. And we chatted (even tho it was soo busy - he took the time to answer my questions about the how long it take to a big jug/gallon container and he said 15 min- from start to finish! And he said he loves his job bc he can make as many flavors/combos he can think of & it turns out to be a real creative process. I asked about catering & they don't do that, but you can order as many gallons as you want. He even shared how the NY Giants (I think that was the team-lol) ordered a BUNCH of gallons for an event they had! He & all his employees "the girls" were soooo nice. And the icecream? I've never tasted ice cream that was so creamy & the choc pieces/chip were to die for! Not like little tiny pieces and they weren't super hard, just the right size & melted in your mouth like a dream on a chocolate river! I'd be remiss to give Denville Dairy anything under 5 And bc they sell a superior product, they are super busy, the girls are super nice & good at what they do! On a weekend you should plan to have 8-10 min in line & as far as parking, you may need 15 min to find it. But bc they serve quickly - chances are parking will be available quicker than you think. But during the Summer days I think parking can be a challenge- on Sunday night- even w a full house. It was a breeze to order! Thank you John for a yummy superior product (ice scream) made w ALL NATURAL ingredients! Cheers- Ur Cust 4 Life I SCREAM FIR ICE CREAM

I love Beenie's ice cream! I have been visiting the ice cream shop for several years now…read more Beenie's is located near the Deloitte office building in downtown Morristown. Parking is tricky but there is a paid public lot across the street. Inside, there is a cute little seating area with picnic benches and some Adirondack chairs. Near the seating, there is a water cooler and plastic cups. Being located in the heart of Morristown, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the ice cream is 100% homemade and sourced with local, seasonal ingredients. I love seeing all of the creative flavors and there are always so many different options to choose from. In the refrigerated section, there are pints and cakes available to take to-go. Monthly/seasonal flavors are offered as well. You can even create a custom ice cream flavor for a special occasion. Service is also very friendly and happy to help, even when they are very busy. They are very involved in the local community and source ingredients from surrounding local businesses. I am part of a local running club in town and each year they collaborate on a special flavor called "Neon Swirl". I can't wait for my next trip back to Beenie's to try more amazing flavor creations.

Overall, this is a very well-run and welcoming ice cream establishment owned and operated by caring small business owners. I highly recommend it!
