    Vegan options!
    Bunny L.

    As soon as my BF and I came in we were greeted by a sweet worker, along with a really chill relaxing vibe. We got the 6 scoop float to try a whole bunch of flavors between pretty in pink, mint monster cookie, mocha, baileys, Irish whiskey, and blueberry cheesecake Every flavor was fresh and not overwhelming. I'm so glad we stopped and we will definitely be coming again next time with my vegan mother so she can try the vegan options!

    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.

    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

    Black raspberry and white chocolate raspberry swirl / fluffer nutter
    Yasmine G.

    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.

    String/hair we found in our ice cream.

    Ice cream is delicious, but finding a hair/string in our ice cream definitely put a bad taste in our mouth, no pun intended.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    2 scoops of butter pecan with no sugar added
    Tony P.

    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.

    Chocolate and vanilla fudge crunch

    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.

    Do they have any vegan ice cream (or vegan pizza)?

    My first review still stands since it's only been a few months and I've been back a few more times…read more Each visit was great with no complaints. My kids love going here even though they aren't adventurous with flavors. BUT I finally tried their ice cream cake. You can order online if you want specific flavors and they usually have premade ones if you just walk in. I walked in and just ordered in person. It was a Just-Because-I-Want-It cake disguised as a belated birthday cake (which it was, but I got it because I wanted to try it). I got a 6" cake with taro and milk tea flavors inside and it came with two small cones of ice cream on top (I chose soursop and red bean for those). It is not what I expected. It is almost all ice cream with a very thin whipped cream type "frosting" on the outside - and sprinkles! - that made it look like a normal cake until you cut into it. No layer of actual flour-based cake inside. It's solid ice cream. Since it's perfectly sweet, it worked great! Also excellent for those who may have a wheat allergy (unless you get the cookie flavors) so now I'm considering one for my kid with food allergies (but not to milk). And that's the update to my review. Still a stellar place to get ice cream.

    I am obsessed with this ice cream shop because:…read more The flavors are amazing! (Black sesame, Thai iced tea, etc). The owner is soooo sweet It's next to some of my favorite Asian food spots so it's a great place to end a meal with friends or to have a date night The only thing I don't love is it's not a picturesque location on route one and minimal seating but that doesn't stop me from coming here!

    The ice cream here was delicious. Really creamy. They had a bunch of interesting flavors…read more.. guessing some of them were Indian, but they also had some "western" flavors like Ferroro Rocher. I tried both the Ferrero Rocher and also Fig & Walnut. Both were really good. Its a little on the pricey side at $4.5 for a small cup. I'll return occasionally though. Customer service was a bit weird. Was a little hard to flag someone down, even though it wasn't busy when we arrived. Note that the google maps was a little confusing... I ended up missing the entrance of the strip mall parking lot, and had to pull into the adjacent lot, which was extremely packed and chaotic.

    It's disappointing for me to leave this review because our family has been coming to this location…read moresince 2006. We genuinely love their eggless ice cream cakes and have ordered them for birthdays, Indian festivals, American holidays, and many other family celebrations over the years. My parents especially enjoy their cakes and can only have certain flavors, which is why we have continued coming back for so long. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, our experience with the customer service has changed. The staff has often come across as unfriendly, and ordering a cake has sometimes been unnecessarily difficult. We live about 20 minutes away, and we've been asked to come into the store just to place an order, making it a 40-minute round trip before having to return again for pickup. I wish there were an easier way to handle confirmed orders over the phone. This most recent experience, however, was especially disappointing. I reserved a cake three days in advance for my mom's birthday. I clearly mentioned that I would be picking it up in the evening and provided my credit card information to hold the cake. On the day of her birthday, I called about 30 minutes before leaving home to pick it up. I was then told that my reserved cake had been sold to someone else because I hadn't picked it up earlier. I understand that misunderstandings and mistakes can happen. What I had a harder time understanding was why the cake was sold when I had specifically said I would be coming in the evening and had provided my credit card information to secure the reservation. What disappointed me even more was how the situation was handled. When I tried to explain what I had been told at the time of ordering, the conversation became argumentative rather than focused on finding a solution. When I mentioned that our family had been customers since 2006, the response was, "All our customers are old customers." I found that response dismissive and unnecessary. I wasn't asking for special treatment because we've been customers for so many years. I was simply expecting the cake that had been reserved for my mom's birthday--or, if a mistake had been made, an apology and some effort to make things right. Unfortunately, neither happened, and the conversation became frustrating enough that I eventually ended the call. What made this particularly upsetting was that the cake was for my mom's birthday. She specifically enjoys their eggless ice cream cakes, which is why I made sure to reserve the right flavor three days ahead of time. Being left without the cake we had planned for put a damper on an important family occasion. I also remember when the owner/founder was more present at the store, and our experience with the service was much better. I genuinely wish the customer service today reflected the positive experiences that kept our family coming back all these years. The cakes themselves have been a family favorite for a long time, and I want to be fair about that. But good products also need to be backed by reliable and respectful customer service. After being a customer since 2006, this experience was unfortunately the point where I decided it was time for us to go elsewhere.
