I found this place last year. It's open all year around and the ice cream is very good. I have only been here twice (to go orders) but both time I had pleasant experiences. The service was good, the ice cream flavor options were plenty, and the overall quality/taste delicious! Homemade cute little. The shop it's self is small but the parking lot is big and they have a lot of outdoor seating. No indoor seating. I will definitely be coming back and will recommend this place? Love the design of the building too! Reminds me of a farm. Cute place! read more

Came here last night right before it started getting packed. Their AC seemed to not be working so you had to close the door immediately since their ice cream was starting to melt. I ordered a waffle cone with coffee and cookies and cream - it hit the spot. Even though the place is tiny and only a certain amount of people can come in at a time, I still highly recommend this place. Staff is also super nice. read more

A friend and I took our kids here after a local dinner. The ice cream was very fresh and there was lots of great flavor choices. I really enjoyed the dulce de leche sundae, nice mix of ice cream, caramel, and banana. My daughter really liked the strawberry cheesecake flavor. My friend was very happy with the chocolate peanut butter. Definitely worthy of a return. read more

Really big parking area and cute picnic tables. Small space inside for ordering but they get through the orders quickly Plenty of flavors all homemade!! The owner even checked in with us and said if there's flavor combos we wanted he could make us custom flavors! GF and V options too for anyone who needs. Kosher and halal too. Check in offer! Also they pack IT IN with the ice cream. I mean a small or medium should me large and extra large. Very generous and did I mention the ice cream and milkshakes are bomb?

Better last summer. Previous owners used to give you a decent amount of ice cream. Enough to have to put the rest back in the freezer for tomorrow or later. All previous summers the ice cream had some weight to it like a half finished bottle of Snapple in the new plastic bottles. This year it was so light I was thinking to myself "what even is in here? It feels like the weight of a crumpled ball of printer paper, and how is this $5.50?" Today I asked for banana pudding and the berry crunch, two scoops (next up from the smallest size). When the lady, who was super sweet, handed me my cup, I thought she only put 1 scoop in. When I asked where the berry crunch was, she said "underneath!" Then I asked if they were Sureeee This Was $5.50, and the guy stepped in and said the cost was high because they "use natural flavors." (Yikes what were they previously using was my first thought). I questioned it a few more times and he kept saying the same answer different ways each time. Then that game got boring And I knew now that this was a debate I was losing, fast. I asked if these were the same owners as last year and he paused to think and then said yes and then paused again and told me they're in the same family. Okay so they are completely different owners. Fine! That's cool, I know it's a recession but this was not even close to two scoops, visibly. my heart broke today. I ended with "this is just my opinion though." Because that's all it is! And he said he appreciated it, good sport. (P.S. first thing I asked when I got to the counter was for a flavors list . They redid the inside and it's super cute but I'm wondering where the flip the flavors are listed. I asked the guy and he said it's bc they change their flavors so often that they don't have a sign now. But it's August and I guess I'm the only one who cares about visibly seeing the flavors this entire summer? So it's Saturday and hella crowded and I'm side stepping lots of people to read the tiny stickers on the glass case. No fun to walk over people like that and they think you're cutting in front of them and you get lots of side eyes. Last owners had multiple signs with the flavors. Some even hand written and that's fine by me!Even if you change your flavors daily, nothing a chalk board or dry erase board can't fix! Restaurants use those and change the Specials multiple times a day, so that to me was a thumbs down.) I guess I just feel like it wasn't really a bang for my buck like previously, and I was disappointed bc it feels like it's just super whipped, pumped with air, and expensive and I feel like I got one scoop, not two. Also the ice cream wasn't like squished into the cup, there was loads of space between the scoops. It's good though, Just not the ice cream I was expecting that I used to love. Pic below of todays treat. If you scroll back a year and take a look at pics, you can compare my cup to cups from years of yore. Don't confuse it with the tiniest size they have because they both come in the same color cup. read more

Haven't had a great cup of vanilla ... yes I said it, vanilla ice cream in years. Creamy. Delicious. Felt like nostalgia in a cup. On top of that plain ol', yet traditional scoop, I also chose to add some chocolate peanut butter. First off: any time I visit a new ice cream spot, I always go for the vanilla or strawberry. If you can somehow manage to mess up a classic flavor, then you're a no in my book. The vanilla checked off in my book. The chocolate PB was a standout - at first, I was skeptical because oftentimes you'll go for the PB flavor, and alas there's barely any taste of PB. Perhaps remnants of quasi-PB, but mainly chocolate overpowering the whole combo. Not here, the PB stood out...and I mean you could taste it with each bite swirled into chocolate. A+! I'm glad I am only a three minute drive up the street to Cranberry. Perfect summer treat. Will return! P.s. Please consider changing the sign behind the counter that reads "All products are Gluten Free" - not verbatim, but it really stinks as a Celiac to see this sign, and realize that only the base of each ice cream is GF, and not the toppings mixed in. I am still hunting for gluten free cookies and cream and cookie dough ice cream flavors - so don't tease me! Haha, unless you'll consider making one for us Celiacs ;) read more

24 dollars for 2 small scoops of ice cream and 1 regular size! (I guess the 5 m&ms and 4 gummy bears add up to an extra ten dollars?!) Absolutely insane! There was nothing special about the ice cream. I've had way better homemade ice cream that I would have actually felt okay paying that price. Complete rip off for small scoops of bland ice cream. I would never return. read more

Such delicious creamy ice cream! We just moved into the neighborhood and had to check this place out since ice cream is our favorite treat. It's a no frills shop with a humble setup but mighty flavors. Shared a small (two scoops, ~$6) between the two of us and it was more than enough. We were so impressed with the young gentleman (he looked to be in his teens) working there on the evening of Labor Day 9/4/23! We walked in around 8pm and he kindly provided a few requested samples with stellar customer service. It was clear to us he took great pride in the product/biz as he explained that no food coloring is added to the ice cream, whatsoever! We'll definitely be back and only wish the young man the best. read more

Great customer service. Been here twice, owner was so friendly and welcoming. Quick service too for being the only one there both times. So generous with serving sizes with great prices compared to your chain ice cream stores. Even more reason to support this small business! The texture of the ice cream is perfect. Variety of flavors makes me want to try something new every time. Chocolate pretzel caramel is my favorite. Love that this place is so close to my boyfriend's house. Makes for a perfect dessert trip during the summer. Picnic tables set aside to dine there in groups. And very considerate precautions set in place during the pandemic - use masks, 1 group to be served at a time to encourage social distancing. This place has definitely earned some loyal customers this season! read more

They only have four tables, so it's better for grab-and-go. They have a grass wall backdrop for some photo ops. They have an open kitchen concept, so you can see them prepare the drinks and food with fresh fruits and vegetables. I've been here multiple times and my favorite items to order are the smoothies, raw juices, energy protein balls, and vegan donuts. They offer a large variety of fruits, vegetables, and superfoods for their drinks. So whether you want something spicy, sweet, tangy, tropical, or herbal... they have it all! The juices have concentrated, intense, and bold flavors. The smoothies are thick and creamy with well-balanced flavors. Both are incredibly refreshing and you can't go wrong with ordering any on the menu. The energy protein balls are a great snack - it's almost like eating raw cookie dough, but a much healthier version. The vegan donuts are a must try! I've tried both the pitaya and matcha flavors. I was disappointed that the flavors weren't strong, BUT the icing and texture made up for it. They use delicious almond and rum frosting glazed over the top. The texture is completely different from a regular donut. It's a lot more fluffy and moist, similar to a muffin or cake. Service is really a hit or miss depending on what day and time you go. Every time I come, they are busy. I guess they're so busy that they don't have time to acknowledge or greet customers. There's not much interaction except for when you place your order. You may also have to wait awhile for your order to come out. I recommend ordering ahead if you want to save time. If you sign up for their emails/texts/rewards program, they send you $5 coupons every Friday! GO RAW!!!

They sell smoothies, meal replacement shakes, cold-pressed juices, and wellness shots. There's a large variety of fruits, vegetables, and superfood add-ons. In addition to drinks, they also have a limited food/snack menu - smoothie bowls, salad, soup, protein bites, overnight oats, impossible burger, etc. They even sell sea moss! Everything is fresh. There's plenty of vegan options. Service was standard and quick. I wish the employee was more interactive and enthusiastic. I told her it was my first visit, and she didn't really give me too many recommendations or explain the menu/products very well. I ordered a small McKay Madness smoothie (~$9) and berry chia seed pudding (~$5). The smoothie had mango, pineapple, banana, kiwi, and coconut water. The consistency was smooth and not too thick. It was refreshing and not sweet. Not the best smoothie I've had, but it did the job. The chia seed pudding was a satisfying snack, but I wish it had more flavor and sweetness to it. The texture was perfect, but it just tasted bland. I added a bit of honey on my own to enhance the flavor. I would come back to try more smoothies and juices if I'm craving one.

Ginger already has a potent taste. Less should have been put into the mix. However, since it was just a shot I was able to finish it. The protein honey and banana smoothie was good. If you are in the area and want a smoothie, stop in!

She was notifying everyone that bubbles would take about 30 minutes to be available. We got the strawberry banana smoothie and honey lemon green tea. Both drinks were good. I got lychee jelly with the green tea which was fresh and crunchy. Smoothie was light, had mixed flavor of the fruits.

Saturdays are usually when my husband cooks, but we both wanted something different, so I stopped in for takeout. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with smiles. That first impression matters, and they got it right. While waiting for my order, they offered me a Peruvian ginger shot. It was strong, bold, and definitely woke up my entire system. I ordered the Rasta pasta with mushrooms and a jerk plantain patty. The food was very good, flavorful, and satisfying. The jerk plantain patty was interesting and different from what I'm used to. I might try it again, but I appreciated the creativity. Overall, the service was kind, the atmosphere felt welcoming, and the food delivered.

Paris Baguette

I've been to various Paris Baguette locations around Central Jersey, and honestly, I wasn't a huge…read morefan... until recently. Let me explain. At one location I frequented, the coffee had really disappointed me. Once upon a time, their coffee was delicious, with rich, chocolatey notes, but the last few visits left me with bitter, almost burnt-tasting drinks, and no amount of milk could fix it. This was surprising, since they supposedly use LavAzza beans. I also never loved their cakes; I often found them too heavy on icing and light on actual cake. However, on a recent trip while shopping at 99 Ranch Market (which is conveniently right next door), we decided to give Paris Baguette another try and treat ourselves to pastries. I was immediately impressed by their selection and how frequently the display was refilled. Every item was behind a glass case, which felt very clean and hygienic. The cashiers were great at making the hot beverages, and they asked if we had a rewards program with them. We gave them our phone numbers, and it turned out none of us had signed up or that they expired. Here's what we purchased: - Cafe Mocha - 5/5 stars. Perfect balance of espresso and chocolate. The barista even made a heart on top. Although the lid covered it, the gesture was appreciated. - Cold Brew - 5/5 stars. Smooth and refreshing. - Chausson aux Pommes - 4/5 stars. A French apple turnover with a perfectly crisp crust and tender, flavorful apples that weren't mushy. - Croissant Donut - 5/5 stars. Flaky, buttery croissant-like in shape of a donut, filled with custard that was bright due to the citrus, and well-balanced between sweet and savory. - Blueberry & Cream Brioche - 5/5 stars. Their crust was crispy and light. It was an indulgent treat that was well balanced as the custard was rich, soft, and just sweet enough without being heavy. Patrons can help themselves to cream, milk, utensils, and napkins, which is convenient. The seating is roomy and relaxing, perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries. It's located in the Home Depot strip mall. Parking is usually easy on weekdays, but weekends can get a little hectic. Overall, this visit completely changed my opinion of Paris Baguette. The coffee and pastries were impeccable, and the environment made for a pleasant, stress-free experience. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby.

While driving around our neighborhood, we caught sight of this new yogurt spot and ducked in to…read moregive it a try. The space is small but cheerful, and the menu has a lot going for it. The namesake yogurt drinks are front and center, but there are bingsoo versions (based on the Korean shaved ice dessert) and delectable looking desserts on the menu. For those new to yogurt drinks or the Hey Yogurt chain, I can approximate descriptions of the taste by comparing it to kefir or fruity yogurt, but this is truly its own thing - tart, tangy, and luscious. After my first sip (and the four more that I compulsively took after that, because it's pretty addictive), I found myself telling my husband, "It's such a happy tasting drink." There's some level of customization available. For instance, the strawberry yogurt drink we got was at half sweetness and there was an option to add more strawberries for an added surcharge. The half sweetness level was best for us, but the hardest part about coming here for the first time is trying to figure out what your version of a perfect drink might be. There are a few narrow benches around the perimeter of the lobby space, which are probably a better fit for waiting and/or having a beverage than for having a full on dessert. A posted sign recommended bingsoo customers eating their desserts immediately for optimal flavor, but there aren't any tables to comfortably sit and enjoy. That said, the people are incredibly nice. While my husband and I enjoyed our drink, the guy at the counter overheard us chatting about the desserts and offered to show us some of their selections. This is Main Street on Hackensack, so the ease of finding parking will be subject to however many (paid) street parking spots are available (and I usually have to drive around at least a few minutes before finding one).

They specialize in yogurt drinks with fruit, matcha, and grain flavors. Yogurt offers many nutritional benefits; it's a great source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. As a bonus, it's also delicious, making it the ideal guilt-free treat. They also sell cheesecake, croffles, and Boston pies. After hearing so much hype, I had to try them out. I visited the Hackensack location on Main Street on a weeknight. Street parking only! It's a small, modern, and clean shop with a few benches for seating. There aren't any tables or chairs, so it's better for grab-and-go. The employee was a pleasure to speak with. I told him that it was my first time and he explained the menu and some of their most popular drinks. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I ended up ordering the Passion Fruit Yogurt drink ($6.50). The plain yogurt was so refreshing on a hot summer day. It wasn't overly sweet - it was the right mix of tangy, sour, and creamy with a subtle sweetness. It was easy to drink because the consistency wasn't too thick. The passion fruit flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked it to be, but the drink was delicious regardless. They even used real passion fruit seeds, which I loved. I would come back to try more flavors! Give them a try :') It's a nice switch up from milkshakes and boba.
