    Good flavors!! This place has been in business since I was a kid and I've always wanted to try it. Really nice to see it's still here and thriving. Def will be back if in the area

    This is a very cute ice cream shop in Metuchen. They have a ton of flavors! I had banana Oreo and cookie dough. I can not say I'm a fan. I felt like my ice cream was lacking in flavor but I'd try out other flavors from the shop. My son really enjoyed his ice cream. The staff were very patient and kind.

    The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Some of the best ice cream in the area- we got cones with the black raspberry, fluffer nutter, and white chocolate raspberry swirl. The fluffer nutter- marshmallow ice cream with peanut butter was our favorite. And very reasonably priced compared to other ice cream shops. Will definitely be back soon!

    Great experience here. Tons of ice cream flavors to choose from and very reasonably priced. The young servers were very friendly and efficient...kudos to them. Conveniently located right on Main Street with lots of street parking in the immediate area. Lots of food options in the area as well...this is a great post-dinner dessert option.

    What's the Scoop is the local ice cream spot in Metuchen. They have over 70 flavors of ice cream made in small batches plus soft serve. The amount of flavors can be overwhelming but the staff is knowledgeable. They can also make milkshakes, floats, and a much of other things. I tried the chocolate peanut butter ice cream which was great. Creamy chocolate ice cream paired with frozen peanut butter is almost always a homerun.

    Delicious ice cream!! Truly that homemade taste and quality. Friendly service and a splendid assortment of flavors. Their ice cream cake prices are also very reasonable and a perfect addition to the any party. I called a few weeks in advance for the cake and it was a hit with everyone. Definitely a gem in the neighborhood.

    Cute shop on main street. LOTS of flavors to choose from all made in house. A good variety of vegan ice creams as well. Anything from Mexican Chocolate to Banana Oreo. I got the Lemon Blueberry Shortbread. It was good. The right amount of tang and big pieces of shortbread cookies. Lots of seating. Polite, friendly service.

    One of my loves is ice cream, it's like my kryptonite! I love mom and pop style ice cream joints because they are usually tastier! I got their blend in with chocolate ice cream and reeces pieces & peanut butter cup!! It was as delicious as it looked! I will definitely be back!!

    Ice cream is my favorite thing to have for dessert, (well, actually it's my favorite lunch too) and I am picky about quality. The ice cream here is top tier! I've been here a bunch of times and try different flavors every time. I love their classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla, and their more unusual and creative combinations too. The staff here has good energy! They're always friendly and helpful. It's small and clean and comfortable inside and there's outdoor sidewalk seating too. It's on the pricy side but totally worth it for the high quality.

    Amazing service. Cake was the highlight of my son's 10th birthday. Thank you so much for everything . Ordering online and pickup was so easy.

    I dropped by on a weekday afternoon. This place was not busy at all. I ordered 2 scoops of coffee espresso and 2 scoops of butter pecan with no sugar added. Very small containers, counter guy gave me kids size which I didn't ask for. I just noticed it when I got home and saw my bill. But still pricey for $3.28 each kid's cup before tax. Next time, I will go to Ice Cream House instead.

    This was EVERYTHING that I wanted. Due to timing, my partner and I got ice cream before dinner... maybe you could call it a cold appetizer I just completed Phase 2 of 75Hard, and I was on a keto/paleo food plan. To have non keto ice cream... can't beat it. I had a scoop of s'mores and moose tracks (vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups). My partner had a scoop of strawberry cheesecake- very very generous scoop (basically two scoops!).

    I lovee walking around the Metuchen area and have walked past this place multiple times and have always wanted to try it! I'm so glad that I finally got the chance to stop by. I got two scoops of ice cream (coffee chip and raspberry chip). The black raspberry ice cream is really refreshing and the chocolate chips add a nice crunch. It's perfect for a hot, summer day! I can definitely say that this place is one of my favorite spots for ice cream. I love that its homemade and sooo super creamy. The outdoor seating is plentiful and honestly just a perfect summer vibe. I can't wait to introduce this place to more of my friends!

    This restaurant came highly recommended by a great friend, so when I was thinking of a place to…read moretake my amazing daughter for her birthday, this was my first choice and I'm happy to report it did not disappoint. Service was tied with the food for first place! Starting with the friendly and helpful hostess, every single employee offered a greeting and a smile. Our server was Elijah, he was wonderful! Warm, friendly and professional. He was attentive and perceptive. He didn't hover but anytime we needed he re-appeared. We were greeted by two out of the three managers, 10 out of 10. Now for the food! We ordered the rice balls, maple wings a Pepper pig pizza and for my cocktail I had the blue Hawaiian. Every thing was delicious hot and freshly made. The outside and inside are visually appealing. I would describe it as modern meets industrial with a nice dose or rustic, very nice.

    Very excited about my visit here while staying in Woodbridge at the Residence Inn…read more Arrived just past happy hour (darn!) which ended at 5pm. Impressive discounts on food and beverages....next time! It wasn't busy so I was quickly seated. Fresh house made sourdough bread was delivered and delicious. The red sangria was a yummy blend and was a nice touch with my vegan pie. I ordered the pizza sans cheese and really enjoyed the eggplant, garlic, basil toppings. The house salad was a nice size and the fried onion topping added a flavorful crunch. I didn't care for the dressing though. Service was prompt and friendly, my water glass was never empty. Deducted a star as my cocktail, salad , and pizza all arrived at the same time which is a pet peeve. The server took the salad back but it was not refrigerated so she redelivery a room temp salad, blah. Sweet server just needs more training on timing. Or maybe that is the norm there. Next time, I will order 1 step at a time to avoid that issue. Private parking with an upper and lower area which was a bit confusing, will know for my next visit. Bread was so good that I purchased a loaf to bring home for my hubby in Atlanta!

The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the place is always clean which makes the experience even better. My favorite is their margherita pizza -- it's perfectly cheesy with just the right amount of sauce. I also love that the crust is thin and holds up nicely with no flop. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great slice!

Reconfirmed with my daughter that ordered "The Lucky Seven Sub." which she confirmed I did say it. Anyhow, the quality of the sub my chicken cheesesteak was nothing like Philadelphia chicken cheesesteak. Taste was bland had to add salt and pepper to give it flavoring. As for my daughters sub (Lucky Seven) it comes with grilled chicken. I've never seen grilled chicken so difficult when she bit into it. It was like fake grilled chicken not the real chicken it was like school cafeteria cheap chicken. A piece of frozen chicken defrosted in the microwave. Was hoping it would be chicken when you bite into it just melts in your mouth. Not the case for this place. Dining area was very clean bathroom needed cleaning. I went there and it looked nasty. For the price I paid for lunch and this is lunch no specials you are being charged extra if using your credit card, If you do not use cash on top of that I tipped. Honestly, It was not worth the money that was paid for the quality. But hands-down to the dessert which was cannoli that was the best thing throughout anything else.
