    Oreo milkshake large
    Jay L.

    You can tell Cranberry junction has retained it's charm and style over the years, standing tall as a staple of the town with a nice grassy sitting area out front and some picnic tables on the side to enjoy your ice cream. I tried their Nutella ferrero rocher flavor but ended up going with my typical, a large Oreo milkshake. It was 22oz so it was huge and I definitely enjoyed it. I'd have to say their ice cream is a bit less sweet comparatively than others but it's still good. Definitely a nice after dinner spot as the place got busy quick.

    What a cute little ice cream shop. They have all kinds of unique flavors and whats better is that they have vegan specials. I've dragged my husband couple of times and I'm surprised and delighted with their selection. Their special changed all the time so you don't get stuck with the same flavor. It's honestly refreshing to be able to try different options each time. My only issue is the vegan cone crumbled so easily. See you again soon.

    Cranberry Junction 19 Temple Ave. Hackensack, NJ 07601 Grape Nuts As I perused their ice cream flavors and saw they offered a fiber cereal mixed with ice cream, my initial reaction was, "What the heck are they thinking!" Thankfully, the owners allow customers to sample any of their unique flavors; all it took was one spoon tasting and I was in for a treat! The ice cream was really creamy and the grape nuts gave it a mild crunch. I couldn't believe how delicious the cereal tasted.

    All staff members were very friendly. They had a good variety of ice cream flavors including gluten free and vegan. The butter pecan ice cream was sweet and creamy. Also tried vanilla chocolate chip which was also really good. No inside seating but a bunch of picnic tables outside.

    Somebody wanted ice cream

    Took Bissy Elliott for a sweet treat at Cranberry Junction Ice Cream in Hackensack, NJ. Nothing beats enjoying ice cream together on a sunny day. Cranberry Junction offers homemade ice cream in a really cute (and historical) venue. Everyone there was super friendly and absolutely loved my puppy face. I will say that the prices are a little high for ice cream, but perfect for an every once in a while treat.

    Ube Biscoff

    Nice seating outside and a cute pink building. Ice cream is overall really good! The cookie monster is delicious and so is the nutella ferrero. The new flavor Ube Biscoff is so unique and delicious however I had something strange happen. After getting halfway with the Ube Biscoff, it started having a strange bitter after taste which was very off putting!

    Stopped by Cranberry Junction Ice Cream and had a good first visit! I got a cone with two scoops--one Oreo (playing it safe) and one Rum (going a little outside the box). The Oreo was everything you'd want--creamy, sweet, and packed with cookie chunks. Definitely a solid, classic flavor I'd get again. The Rum, on the other hand, wasn't for me. I'm not a big fan of rum or alcohol flavors in general, so that one didn't hit the mark--but that's more on me for taking the risk than on the ice cream itself. Lesson learned! There's plenty of parking right out front which made it super easy to pop in and out. Overall, a cute spot with a lot of flavors to choose from. I'm definitely planning to go back and try more--next time I'll explore new flavors but maybe skip anything with alcohol in the name

    Cookie Monster and Cherry Vanilla Double Scoop on a Waffle Cone

    How can one ever say anything bad about an ice cream shop? I'm not about to start now. Cranberry Junction is an interestingly located, local ice cream shop in Hackensack sitting (literally) right next to the NJ transit train tracks. If lucky, which you should be if you're slowly enjoying your delicious ice cream on a sweltering day, you'll get to witness an NJ transit train pass by within inches of you behind the shop, right next to the picnic tables outside. Let's just say the kids love it. As for the shop itself, the parking lot is spread across outside of the shop and when you arrive, you'll immediately find yourself in possibly one of the tightest spaces you've ever been in to get some ice cream. For those with a tight waistline, you'll be fine, but, for those like me, suck in those guts if you want to get around inside. Although the shop is somewhat long length-wise, it can barely fit 2 people across width-wise - as was the case when we showed up. Fortunately, we got super lucky and showed up around 6:45pm on the Sunday evening of Father's Day when there was yet to be a line. 10 minutes later though it was a much different story at 15 DEEP waiting to get in. YIKES. There are 2 menus on the wall - one for the ice cream flavors and toppings and the other for the different cone/cup sizes/smoothies/shakes. There were a plethora of flavors to choose from, and not too many crazy ones, which is sometimes a good thing. Since the shop is so tight, they clearly state that there is a limit of only 2 samples per customer to keep the line moving. We probably could have sampled a good 5-8 flavors, but, due to the restriction, we ended up getting the Cookie Monster and Cherry Vanilla double scoop waffle cone. Can never go wrong with a waffle cone as the vessel. To say that my kids loved the ice cream would be an understatement, although when do kids ever say they don't like ice cream???? For us, solid, solid flavors. Didn't knock my socks off in any way or make me want to eat it until I popped a pants button, but this was some good, delicious, refreshing ice cream. Also, it helped that they had a large picnic table area outside, so we could enjoy the ice cream on a beautiful evening. And, for the kids, there's a large grassy area as well so they (or yourselves) can run around to lose some of the weight after devouring your order. Overall, good, solid ice cream. There were definitely some flavors (e.g., rum raisin, dulce del leche, banana walnut) I wanted to try that we didn't get a chance to, so will absolutely be back again some time and I don't think I have to ask my kids twice :)

    Finally visited after passing by this place many times. Prices fair and probably on-par with most other ice cream places like this...maybe a bit higher. I thought the ice cream was good...not bad, not great...maybe 3/5. I did exect better given the prices. I was a bit disappointed in the icee...we were given once where the entire icee was the dark sugary part you tend to find on the bottom of icee bins. Noticed after leaving and didn't want to make the effort to return for an exchange. Given the price...I'd expect better. Staff was friendly. A bunch of picnic-benches on the outside and garbage bins. Adequate parking lot for most crowds.

    This little ice cream shop is as adorable as can be! Just cute! It's not all shiny chrome and bright inside- but the vibe is cute, quaint, and gives an old time feel nevertheless! I tried the Dulce de leche and it was delicious! The guy who helped us and was possibly the owner was super kind and really just down to earth! Still trying to get this body together for summer (haha! ) but I will return when I feel I deserve a treat!

    Such a cute cozy ice cream spot. Stopped by for an impromptu date night. Wish it was warmer so we could've sat outside on the tables they have. We ordered a waffle cone and medium cup to go. The caramel chocolate pretzel ice cream is delicious a must have! The cake batter is also a delicious flavor. Also tried the banana pudding flavor and it was different but nothing I'd love to get again. Cherry vanilla was pretty good too. We we definitely be back during the summer months!

The most alarming part of my visit was noticing roaches inside the establishment. Seeing pests in a place that serves food and drinks is completely unacceptable and immediately raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and safety of the business. I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disturbing. Management needs to make major improvements to sanitation, customer service, and food preparation. Until those issues are addressed, I would strongly advise others to avoid this coffee shop.
