Amici is an absolute gem. If you're looking for incredible coffee and authentic gelato just steps from the beach, this is the place. The espresso is smooth, rich, and perfectly pulled every time -- whether you're grabbing a quick cappuccino or lingering over a latte. You can tell they care about quality. And the gelato? Unreal. Creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with real ingredients. Every flavor tastes vibrant and fresh -- from classic pistachio and stracciatella to whatever seasonal specials they're featuring. The vibe is cozy, relaxed, and welcoming -- perfect for a morning coffee run, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a sweet treat after dinner. The staff is always friendly and efficient, even when it's busy. Amici has officially become my go-to in Asbury Park. Five stars without hesitation. read more

Stopped by Amici, again, and had another wonderful experience. The service is amazing, there is plenty of seating, and the gelateria is super clean...including the restroom. I cannot commend the quality of their gelato, enough. The creaminess and texture is exquisite and their portions are fulfilling. Please, stop into Amici Caffe. You will, most definitely, enjoy all of their items and feel very welcomed. read more

Amici Gelato is a craft gelato shop. They ship the majority of their ingredients in from Italy and the gelato is made fresh in house daily. Staff is very friendly and they enjoy sharing information about their products. The gelato itself is wonderful! The Italian ingredients and freshness come through in the first bite. They have all the classic flavors and some other, interesting flavors that keep things exciting. This place is a must stop in Asbury. read more

Found this place to be overpriced. The gelato was bland. I had the dark chocolate and it had no taste. Skip it. There are better places in town. read more

Do yourself a favor and skip on dessert and whatever local restaurant you are having dinner and come for gelato at Amici's instead. That's what my friend and I did after dinner and it was the best decision we could've made The service was amazing. The woman who worked there was very helpful and offered us as many tastings as we needed in order to choose our flavors We decided to share 4 flavors in total, pistachio, hazelnut, chocolate banana sorbet, and the Italian cherry cheesecake. The employee who helped us suggested the cherry cheesecake and she was not wrong. That had to be the best gelato I've ever had. Every flavor was truly very special and the texture was so smooth and luxurious. Unfortunately, we were too anxious to eat our sweet treats so I didn't get a photo but if I am ever in the area again I will absolutely be stopping by for a couple of scoops. And perhaps trying some of their homemade cookies that looked super tempting as well! read more

I am not lying when I say this: I have come back 3 years in a row from across the country with eating this gelato being a major goal of my travels. It's game changing every time. The service is great: they've always been so kind to me and my loved ones and I often leave a bit giddy because I've never tasted anything so rich and delicious. The mascarpone and nutella was my favorite this year. Plus, the ambiance of the location is super cute, there's nice places to sit inside or outside. read more

Visited in the summer. The gelato was nothing special and pricey. I got a sfogliatella and it was small and not crispy. There are other spots in Asbury Park that knock it out of the park every single time and Amici did not. read more

Gelato is delicious. Flavor and consistency are spot on. However, portions were ridiculous. Myself & my two kids each ordered 2 flavors. My kids got cups and each scoop was a half scoop. Barely even filled half the cup. I got mine in a waffle cone and again didn't even come close to filling the cone. I basically ate cone with a taste of gelato. And paid $30!!!! Not worth the price! read more

Bottom line: Amici has some delicious selections, my cookie and latte hit the spot. Be aware that at the time of my visit, prices are not displayed on menus. The Deets: I found out about Amici on a recent visit in Asbury Park and decided to give them a go for a coffee break. I stopped in and liked the look/atmosphere, very clean with mostly stark black/white cafe look that was very charming. Lots of delicious looking treats to consider looking through the glass with gelato, baked goods, etc. and then coffee drinks as well. I opted for the chocolate chip cookie to accompany my latte. Note that they have a few milk alternatives available for coffee beverages but alas, no skim milk offering for a skim latte...I went with whole milk then. The latte was great and the cookie was wonderful, nice and chewy, not crumbly and hard so it tasted fresh. I did notice when ordering and also looking at their printed menu (and I see others have mentioned) that there are no prices displayed currently at the time of this visit, see pics. It did throw me off a bit, thinking when the prices looked erased that maybe they could not offer the latte drinks etc. until I asked for my choices at the register. I do feel that if you are going to charge a price, then stand by it and display the price to the customer so they can be informed about their purchase (unlike some type of exclusive or expensive restaurants I have seen). Otherwise, a nice cafe environment with tasty cookie/latte break...delicious selections on my visit. read more

I hop into this little gem when I can. They always have great flavors. I'm more of a sorbet girl but went with the lasted gelato flavor "Apple Pie" and oh my, it did not disappoint. After a sample I grab a scoop to go. I also picked up a classic cannoli because, why not. I love that they fill the shell to order AND it wasn't one of those no filling makes it to the center type of cannoli. It was soo delicious. Can't wait to go back. read more

The BEST gelato anywhere! So creamy and flavorful! Def a must try! Indoor and outdoor seating! You will love it!

Very good authentic Italian gelatos. My fav were hazelnut and stracciatella. Their pumpkin spice was so good too. They even make gelato cakes! read more

Amici Gelato & Caffe - Two small gelatos. It was perfect sizes but we wanted more. Pumpkin spice and pistachio. Hazelnut and stracciatella. Loved all these flavors - Gelato Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

This place is amazing! I feel like I stepped into another time and place coming here. It's like what I imagine a gelato cafe in an Italian city is like. When picking up your order in the caffe, your eyes will be pleased by the cute black and white checkered tiles and the overall theme of the place. Their gelato is creamy, rich and full of love. I got a scoop of the dark chocolate and a scoop of the s'mores. It's as close to heaven as you can get. Though slightly pricey, it's definitely worth it. They play great music from artists like Frank Sinatra and lots of other great music from his time. All they're missing is a Nutella gelato and this place will be complete! read more

Fantastic gelato and cannolis! The best mobile service. Came to my home for an outside party. Outstanding presentation. The hit of the night! read more

Entering this caffe felt like entering a little shell or time capsule that shields you from the outside world. The gelato is smooth and delivers full flavors without feeling too heavy or creamy (it is, but not in a bad way).... as they're supposed to be. Tried some cannoli with killer crunchy shells and fillings, and just one pistachio in choco dip biscotti as an afternoon snack. Umbrellas shade the tables outside. Maybe we were lucky, but on a Sunday afternoon, we were able to find parking right across the street and walk around the block and enjoy the cool breeze. Pricewise it may be on the higher spectrum, but the quality is worth it! read more

I love this gelateria!!! Every time my boyfriend and I are in Asbury, we can't wait to check out Amici. My boyfriend is from Italy and says the tiramisu tastes authentic and enjoys getting it each time we go. I personally love the cookies and gelato. Today I ordered the pistachio raspberry ricotta and coconut cookie gelato and they were both amazing. They truly taste homemade and with high quality ingredients. I also love that they have ample vegan options. If you are looking for a sweet treat after a walk around Asbury, go here!!! read more

10/10 for this place. Their gelato is amazing. Not only that, but I called to double check they had this one flavor since they switch them every so often. I called when they opened and the gentleman I spoke to let me know he was making a bother flavor today but then said he could make the coffee chip (non dairy). He was kind enough to offer , and im pleased with my experience every time I come here! Very much worth the half hour drive. Looking forward to coming back read more

We love Amici! As soon as you walk in, it's like walking being in a classic Italian Cafe with the black and white color theme and beautiful tile. Their coffee is the best in Asbury Park and the Gelato is always fresh with a perfect variety of flavors. We actually pass on coffee and dessert when we are having dinner in Asbury so that we can go to Amici afterward and have some gelato and lattes. Can't wait to try their egg sandwiches soon. They look delicious. Highly recommended!!! read more

Just had the gelato from here but it is very good but not as soft as Lola's. The dark chocolate was very smooth and chocolatey but was kind of more like eating ice cream than gelato that I'm used to! Still will be returning for the sandwiches or salads which looked good. read more

The gelato here is amazing but Joe who crafted "The Anthony" for me is even better!! The service he gave to us was outstanding from the patience he had when picking my flavors and making sure the sundae looked perfect. We will be coming back every time we are in the area. Thanks Joe! read more

Great service! Super quick and efficient. Delivery was great! Ferrero Rocher gelato is to die for!!!!

So I was in Asbury with my girlfriend and dogs because it was a beautiful April day. We decided to grab dinner and went to a spot on Mattison Ave. While waiting for our table we were standing in front of Amici's. It was a Tuesday so they were closed but the owner passed us and went inside. He came out with a cookie and a gelato pop and gave it to us. The cookie was awesome but the gelato pop was even better. It was a chocolate gelato pop which was delicious because it was not overly sweet. Awesome! Can't wait to try this spot again. When summer rolls around we go to asbury frequently and I plan on stopping in each and every time. read more

Starting summer 2020, my friend and I became frequent flyers to Amici's! They serve the best, top quality food, ans their employees are beyond compare. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is on point. From my first ever experience (he offered to carry my gelato cake to my car!) and every one since, everything has been stellar. read more
