Picture this. You have a 2 year old that for the last 2 months every day you are telling her that…read moremr. Softee is going to come to her birthday party. Then the day of her party, themed all around ice cream none the less, the time the truck was scheduled to be at your home, the truck never shows up. I called our contact who I confirmed with 1 week prior to our event and all of our MANY calls and emails and texts went unanswered. It ruined all the hard work and dedication that went in to planning this party. To not even give a courtesy call that they were not going to show is a disgrace. Hearing your baby ask where the ice cream man you promised her for the last 2 months was could just break your heart into a million pieces. Fair warning to all of Monmouth county; NEVER BOOK A PARTY WITH MISTER SOFTEE OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTY. They will just no show and not answer any calls or texts. Mistersoftee Softee

This Mister Softee truck has come to the same corner at Newkirk and Coney Island Avenues next to…read morethe PS 217 playground for over 25 years. In fact many of the current customers who bring their children literally grew up on his ices, milk shakes, slush and soft serve ice cream. In recent years he has added hard ice cream in such favors as pistachio, coffee, rum raisin and cookies & cream. Ever mindful of his customers'wallets, he has kept his prices very reasonable. Soft serve is $2/cone, Mariano ices are $1.00, slush $1.25 and hard ice cream is $2 for one scoop and $2.75 for two scoops. And he has done so without cutting costs by reducing the quality of what he sells! For those who observe, his soft serve is Kosher... Actually it's also Kosher for those who don't observe! But what makes this truck special is that Ali takes the time to learn the neighborhood kids' names and politely addresses the ones he does not know by name as "young lady" and "young man." His is a truck that offers a lot more than ice cream in good will and honesty!

It's not something I will get ALL the time, for some reason when they make the cone it's very slanted/crooked and it's not as much icecream as you would get from a truck in my opinion. The bowls of icecream are crazy expensive, when you build your own waffle bowl. They also sell fresh popcorn and nachos. It also gets VERY crowded and it's almost impossible to move around in there, they have kiosks that you can order from so you don't have to wait in line, which is nice.

There were throngs of customers of varying ages (children, middle-aged people, seniors, etc.) on both a weekday afternoon and evening. I was really surprised. Thankfully, the line moved really quickly. It helps that the staff is very efficient and friendly. Instead of playing it safe, I tried three new things during my recent trips: Strawberry and cream sundae - They had four sundae options, but I went with this flavor because strawberry (duh). It was a nice little treat, but it would've been definitely too much for just one person. They went heavy on the whipped cream, so much so that it took me a while to clear a path to get to the actual ice cream. The ice cream flavor wasn't very memorable, but no complaints about it. Overall, I think this is a relatively plain sundae, but if you like things very simple, you'll like it. Mango sticky rice ice cream on a sugar cone - I love that mango sticky rice is gaining traction across beverage and dessert shops. So glad that Van Leeuwen hopped on the bandwagon. While I don't think the taste screams mango sticky rice, it definitely isn't any regular old mango ice cream. If they wanted to amp up the mango sticky rice-ness, I think adding bits of sticky rice would've helped. I wasn't very satisfied at first lick, but it really grew on me, and I quite enjoyed it. Strawberry cheesecake yuzu ice cream - The strawberry cheesecake aspect was really good. I don't tend to go for cheesecake ice cream because I never liked the Baskin Robbins' cheesecake flavor growing up. But the cheesecake chunks weren't sickening or too big in this ice cream. The flavor didn't overpower the strawberry. However, the yuzu was another story. It was very overwhelming in flavor and strongly reminded me of Chinese chen pi (sun-dried mandarin orange peel), which has a slightly bitter aftertaste. I think incorporating yuzu into this flavor would still be nice, but they have to find a way to tone it down or make the yuzu a bit sweeter.
