Riverdale, NJ - it's spring and almost summer which means it's time for ice cream!…read more Located just off the northbound side of route NJ-23, next to a car wash and a Shell gas station, Curly's is a family-owned ice cream shop (three generations an counting) that exudes old school nostalgia and vintage quaintness. I can picture Richie Cunningham, the Fonz and the gang roll up in a Chevy Bel Air after class, their friends working the counter. The ice cream is homemade, and in addition to the classic flavors, there are more interesting creations such as Aztec chocolate, banana Oreo, raspberry cheesecake, cannoli cream, coconut, maple walnut, and seasonal flavors such as apple pie, pumpkin, candy cane, etc. While the ice cream is creamy, the flavor is not as strong or distinctive as I like. It gets busy in the summer, and even in nice weather like an unusually warm last March weekend, the parking lot was filling up, to my surprise. It's not obvious from the front, but there are some picnic tables behind the ice cream shack for seating.

What I love about their flurries, (besides the best soft serve vanilla anywhere) is that they blend your flavor choices very well so there's toppings all throughout, then top it off with ice cream and more toppings. Of course they have awesome homemade hard ice cream flavors, cakes, slushies, novelties and more. Be aware that they are a cash only establishment, so grab $$ before you head over. There is plenty of parking behind the store. In case you are hungry, the Dover Grill next door is also open. They have awesome burgers, fries and amazing comfort food. The owners have been there forever and their ice cream is the best in Morris County. They train the most professional servers who scoop with a smile. The lines may get long at times, but people are super patient because the reward is worth it. Stop in for a bit of joy, you deserve it!

My wife and I have frequented this location twice this summer as an alternative to the "treat" chains. The first time, we thought it was "okay." Staff was friendly and service was prompt. Our ice cream (cotton candy and choc. chip mint) was subpar, but again, a good alternative. The second time (last sunday night) was most likely the last time we will visit. It was about a half hour before close and the counter girl had an attitude. I got a large cotton candy shake and wife got moose tracks ice cream. The shake, I shall refer to as "cotton candy flavored milk" was extremely diluted and not worth the price. The moose tracks ice cream lacked flavor, and the only texture was provided by the chunks of ingredients which had already sunk to the bottom. read more

When we arrived, the line was out to the highway. The long line bought me some time to decide which flavor to select out of the 60+ different options. I decided to go with the Graham Central Station after reading some other Yelp reviews and articles about their most popular flavors. It was an excellent choice. The texture was amazing and the cinnamon flavor was so delicious. For a "small" cup, the portion was huge. There's a few picnic benches behind the storefront to sit and eat your ice cream. Parking looks like it can be tough on busier nights. I wish it was closer to home but I'm sure I will be back if I am in the area again. Graham Central Station: 5/5

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!

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.
