    Water down Americano with a side of attitude
    Carmiña C.

    We came on a Sunday Afternoon and I ordered an Americano and the water to espresso proportion was completely off. It was basically coffee tea. When we politely mentioned it, the girl told us with an attitude that, "that's what an Americano is, expresó and water" and did nothing about it. The scone was doughy... very dissatisfied with the service, drink and food.

    Cookies and cream blended with peanut m&ms.

    Thomas Sweet, to put it lightly, is the greatest ice cream place on this planet, and we are blessed to live in NJ and be within 15 minutes of two locations. I don't want to tell you how to order, but if you order anything other than cookies and cream ice cream blended with peanut M&Ms, you are not achieving your own potential in life.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie

    The service here is amazing. The person at the counter gave the best recommendations and let us try so many flavours (and even encouraged it!!! We love an ice cream place that isn't stingy) I'd 100% recommend the chocolate chip cookie ice cream. As the worker there put it--it's like the dough parts of cookie dough ice cream, but the flavor is entirety of the ice cream itself. Definitely hard to find a flavor like this elsewhere. I wouldn't really recommend Jersey Shore (vanilla with caramel) though, it was definitely too sweet and I couldn't get through that scoop.

    Chocolate chip cookie on bottom, birthday cake in the middle, and Nutella on top

    I love how large the space is and how much seating there is. A+ for space and ambiance. Much nicer vibe than a normal ice cream place, and it was so refreshing not to have to fight for a table (cough cough like at the nearby Bent Spoon where you feel like a burden to everyone for just being there). Also, ice cream places are often freezing inside but I was quite comfortable, so my friend and I were able to stay and chat for about an hour before we realized how much time had passed. The ice cream flavors I got were chocolate chip cookie (which is the best ice cream flavor ever to be invented anywhere), birthday cake (which was phenomenal), and Nutella (which was great, except that the lady gave me about one bites worth so I really didn't get to experience this flavor at all...) The ice cream quality is awesome, the flavors unique (though not as many fun flavors as other Thomas Sweet locations), and the setting is chill. My one complaint was that the server gave me such a minuscule amount of the Nutella flavor that it truly was only one bite's worth. Also, they don't have waffle cones, just cake and sugar. Overall, good experience. Definitely better than the Bent Spoon in Princeton (whose serving sizes are all child sized despite the high prices, and where you will never sit because they have one single table), but I think I might still prefer Thomas Sweets in New Brunswick.

    The Bent Spoon in Princeton is such a fun spot for ice cream! They have so many different flavors,…read moreincluding both classic favorites and more unique options, so it's definitely hard to choose. I got the cookies and cream and milk chocolate ice cream, and both were delicious. We also tried the vanilla and raspberry sorbet, which were creamy, refreshing, and had great flavor. I love that they have both ice cream and sorbet options, so there's something for everyone. Another thing I really liked is that each cup comes with two scoops, so you can easily mix and match flavors without having to commit to just one. It's perfect if you're indecisive like me and want to try a couple of flavors! Everything we tried was delicious, and the variety of flavors makes this a place I'd definitely come back to. If you're in Princeton and looking for a sweet treat, The Bent Spoon is definitely worth a stop!

    We were in the area for a hockey showcase and this ice cream shop came highly recommended. Lots of…read morevery unique flavors which made it hard to decode for an indecisive person like me. They do let you sample flavors. The ice cream was delicious, my only regret was not tasting more flavors! You can get 2 flavors in your order. So many too choose from, it's a hard call. When we arrived the line was down the block and my kid didn't want to wait but the line moved rather quickly (they have a good process in place) keeping things moving! Cute cozy little ice cream shop serving high quality ice cream. If you are an ice cream lover and like original out of the box creations don't sleep on this spot!

    On a late-night drive home from Maryland, we still had over an hour left before getting home and…read morewere craving some ice cream. A quick search for places that were still open led us to US Mr. Ice Cream. It was a little out of our way, but we were grateful to find an ice cream spot open until 11:30 PM on a Saturday night. I didn't realize before arriving that it's a walk-up window serving soft serve only, but they offer plenty of ways to customize your order. Between cones, cups, hard-shell dips, sprinkles, candy toppings, milkshakes, and more, there are lots of options to choose from. The service was friendly and efficient, and we had our treats in hand within just a few minutes. Since I needed a gluten-free option and still had a long drive ahead, I kept it simple with a cup of vanilla soft serve topped with rainbow sprinkles. Sometimes simple is exactly what you need, and it definitely hit the spot. The portions were generous for the price, which is especially appreciated these days. There isn't any outdoor seating, and the parking lot is quite small, so I could see it getting crowded during busier times. I also would have loved to see hard ice cream offered in addition to soft serve. Overall, this was exactly what we needed: a quick, affordable late-night ice cream stop with friendly service and plenty of topping choices. While I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, I'd happily stop again if I were passing through and looking for a sweet treat after hours.

Not too sweet either which I like. The staff that greeted me, I think the owner maybe(?) was super friendly and just outright amazing customer service. The milkshake had the perfect consistency. If you had a picture of a milkshake in a dictionary, this would be the best example of it because of how amazing it looked.
