Amazing variety of flavors and the portion is large! I ordered carrot cake and rum raisin in a waffle cone while my mom got their huge nutty bar! My goodness this did not disappoint - so affordable - so yummy - I'm waiting for my next cheat day ;) one thing to note is they only take cash. Service was alright - she's a no nonsense lady but helpful and informative. Ambiance - it gives vintage ice cream creamery vibes. read more

Dairy Deluxe is a local icon of delicious ice cream. We're always excited when it reopens in the spring. They have fantastic, chocolate, peanut butter, ice cream, cream, and fantastic banana ice cream. Those are my two favorites. They have really good soft serve as well. My wife and sister-in-law at the soft serve of vanilla all the time giving some of it to our French bulldogs. read more

I was surprised and glad to see that this location has dole soft serve. I had picked the strawberry flavor, while my partner picked the big cookie sandwich with chocolate chips. The service was quick, and the lady was sweet. We visited at night time, so the ambiance was of crickets chirping. read more

We stopped by on a warm Sunday afternoon and was happy to see that there is a small lot associated with the spot! There was a line stretching outside of Dairy Deluxe and it moved slower than I expected. However, we didn't have to wait long before I got my small mango ice cream on a waffle cone and my boyfriend got a small butter pecan ice cream on a waffle cone. Together, it was approximately $11, which seemed reasonable. I thought that my mango ice cream was slightly bland and only had a very faint mango flavor. However, there were chunks of mango which were a nice surprise in the ice cream and my boyfriend enjoyed his butter pecan ice cream. I would definitely return on a nice day! read more

The ice cream here is OUTSTANDING!!! I want to just write that over and over 100x for this review. Amazing. I've only had the hard ice creams here so far in the 2x I've been here. Chocolate is on POINT! Chocolate peanut butter WOWWWW, Coffee! Rum Raisin! Blueberry!!!! They obviously let you mix it up, if it fits in the cup they will sell it to you. Toppings were greatly enjoyed by my kid, but for me, the ice cream is more than enough carbs for the week. So creamy, so naturally perfect. This asian run business really has the homemade crafted ice cream thing down, it's nothing short of perfect. It's five minutes from home, I'm doomed. read more

On a hot Sunday evening, my girlfriend and I were in search of something sweet to cool off, and Dairy Deluxe caught our eye. Upon arriving the sight of a line outside the place was expected because of the hot weather. We got the mango and butter pecan ice creams on waffle cones. My girlfriend and I both agreed that the ice cream was satisfying, and the experience overall was pleasant. Dairy Deluxe proved to be a good spot for a quick and satisfying ice cream on a hot summer day. read more

My last review stands but let me now add that this spot is family friendly. We are within walking distance and every visit we are greeted like old family friends. The ice cream sandwiches are totally worth bringing home. Cash only so be prepared in this card carrying society. We have now ordered two of their ice cream cakes. Excellent price point and lots of customization options. read more

Delicious ice cream, be it hard or soft. Not much ambience, but what are you here for? To be seen or eat ice cream.

Got their butter pecan, pistachio, cookies n cream, and coffee ice creams. You can tell from the first bite that these ice creams are diff than anything you can get at the grocery store. Especially the pistachio and coffee ones were excellent. Doesn't get too much better than these 2 flavors. Would highly recommend this ice cream joint to others, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Nice place to come on a summer day! Their soft and hard ice cream is stellar. The dairy free ice cream was not on the same level, it tasted a bit too watery for my liking. read more

I'm SO happy that Dairy Deluxe is back open for the season! I love that they're local and the ice cream is all homemade. They have fun flavors like blueberry ice cream and carrot carrot cake ice cream. It's hard to choose, but my favorites are probably the coffee, green tea and cookies & cream. We'll usually take home a couple of the hard ice cream flavors in a pint/quart and it stores well in the freezer! read more

Amazing. Showstopping. In love with their blueberry ice cream. Wish I had cash on me more often.

I think about their homemade blueberry ice cream ALL YEAR. I had it for the first time last summer and it's the only flavor I ever get now because it's so damn good. The employees are friendly and the service is really fast, even when it's crowded! Also, the servings are big and the prices are good as well, especially compared to similar ice cream joints! Definitely come here and try the blueberry ice cream! read more

Ice cream ... Absolutely a great place for delicious ice cream. They make homemade flavors such as banana, blueberry and one of my favorites, coconut If you like pineapple and coconut, you must treat yourself to a Hawaiian . It's pineapple and coconut ice creams with coconut and pineapple topping. Oh so The cake batter is delicious. Chunks of fresh cake blended in the ice cream. Dole ice cream is refreshing. Chocolate peanut butter is very good. Definitely worth the calories. Highly recommend this establishment!!! read more

Really good ice cream place located on route 27. They only accept cash. They have a variety of flavors and they all taste good so you really can't go wrong with them. They're also kosher! The lines are really long during the summer nights, but that just shows how good the ice cream tastes! I usually go for the brownie delight! They use little bites brownie lol but it still tastes good. read more

I am torn about this place...... the ice cream was great and the options were fantastic but.........the customer service was sad and upsetting. The guy was so rude and made my daughter feel anxious. She is autistic and takes slightly longer than most to make decisions but we gave her time to review the menu In Depth before getting to the window but last minute she decided to add a topping and the guy was just sooooo rude about it. I'd probably go one more time just to see if everyone is as rude but not a great experience this time. read more

They did not change gloves after cleaning some equipment in the shop once they came to take our order. I am pretty sure the gloves would not have been changed when he went to fill our order. Suffice it to say we did not continue with our order. God knows how many times this has happened. When dealing with food especially in this pandemic some more care should take place. Not only that but once we asked him to change his gloves we got an audible "oh my god" from him. It is sad because we spent a lot of money here over the years. Will not be coming back. To those that don't care as much have at it but they lost a stable group of customers. read more

Oh hell yeaaaa!!! When I first looked at the menu I was all like "whaaaaaaaaaaa?" (think Lil' Wayne pouring champagne on his phone) Vegan and dairy free ice cream?! Oh how my tummy is going to heart this place forever!!! My friend recommended chocolate dipped in a waffle cone and again I had to say "whaaaaaaaaaa?!" and Hell yea!!! Went with the dairy free mint chocolate chip and cookies and cream. The cookies and cream tasted more like a cream ice (think Ralph's) and the mint chip was creamier in texture like you would expect from a full dairy ice cream. The waffle cone gave the perfect additional crunch I wanted, and the chocolate dip was heaven!! My friend got their regular banana ice cream in a waffle cone (and chocolate dipped of course!) and that combo is bomb!! Can't wait to come back again for more frozen treats!!!! read more

**Cash Only!** They had a sign out front stating their banana ice cream was home made... Does this mean the rest of their ice cream is not home made? Or could it be that there's chunks of banana ice cream in their banana ice cream? Piqued my interest so of course I had to order the banana ice cream. Well folks, sorry to say but the banana ice cream was just your regular very banana-y tasting ice cream (the kind that's artificially flavored). A little sweeter than what I'm used to, but still good and enjoyable on my terms! On a side note: our friend who is dairy sensitive found lots of suitable options here! They offer dairy free ice cream as well as ice and sherbet. Win! The only two unenjoyable aspects about our stop here: #1 The man at the counter was very cranky and snickered at us when we requested napkins and an additional styrofoam bowl (and this is after we tipped him too!). #2 I was too absorbed with eating my ice cream and chatting before I realized I had gotten 6 mosquito bites while sitting out back! (blaming this one on my sweet blood) read more

Good ice cream, fast experience. I got pistachio because that's one of my favorites. The portion was really big and the ice cream was tasty - line moved along fast. I hate cash only but what can you do. It's close by so I'll definitely return. read more

Pretty decent small ice cream place in highland park. I have been satisfied with all the ice cream I have tried here and I have tried a lot because I usually come with a lot of friends so I can try more flavors and kinds of ice cream at one time. My favorite so far is still vanilla soft serve with pineapple. Their soft serve is super creamy! I also like chocolate dipped coconut hard serve ice cream. They have some tables outside so it can be a little chilly to hang out here after summertime. I was really cold last time i ate there. But def a great spot for summer! Only thing you need to watch out is that they only take CASH! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while, so I was pretty stoked to try the goodies here. Everyone talks about the banana ice cream, which was what I was going to order, but I went with the chocolate-covered banana instead. A couple of family members ordered a shake and a chocolate/vanilla soft serve twister. The latter was said to be creamy and perfect with regards to sweetness. The chocolate-covered banana was pretty normal, and did not look like the one I saw on Yelp. It's just a whole frozen banana on a stick with the tip chopped off (LOL), then dipped in chocolate. It wasn't too sweet, which was great, but it also tasted a bit sour. I have no clue why, but I didn't think too much into it. If you order this, give it a minute or two to soften a bit. It's wrapped in a plastic baggie when you first get it. I'm only giving a 3/5 for now, but I'll be back to see what the hype is all about when it comes to the banana-flavored ice cream next time. The overall menu is large; you can personalize almost everything they offer. read more

Great ice cream and the Sundays. Price is reasonable and only cash is accepted. Lot of regulars here

I arrived here with my friends and the first thing I noticed was the extensive list of option there. It ranges from milkshakes to sorbet to soft serve and has so much more. I've been going there for a while now, trying new flavors almost every time and am constantly shocked by its immaculate taste. The workers there are kind and fast. Best local ice cream location yet. read more

I stopped by this place on my way home from a birthday party. The younger kids loved the crazy flavors they offered however I wasn't really impressed. I tried the Green Tea ice cream and honestly it tasted like vanilla with barely a hint of Green Tea. I enjoy stronger flavors for ice cream, if I wanted vanilla I would order it. I settled on chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles---again a very light chocolate flavor and nothing like what I usually get at other places. I do want to come back here to try another flavor but I won't expect anything different. The owners were super friendly which makes up for it. As well as the small patio area in the back to soak up some of the sun. Please note: CASH ONLY read more

I felt like having dairy free ice cream and found this place via Yelp. It's a pretty old school looking ice cream shop; it's reminded me of Dairy Queen, haha. They have so many different cold treats and sweets on their menu, from frozen yogurt to coffee shakes. Ice cream serving was large; I finished the rest at home. My husband enjoyed his coffee shake. I'll have to try a "regular" ice cream cone because I wasn't that impressed with mine. But maybe I should have added sprinkles. They make ice cream much better! read more

Mediocre ice cream and remarkably dismissive service. I asked for ice cream in a waffle cup and it was brought to me in a cone. I said, 'Oh, I'd asked for this in a waffle cup.' 'No you didn't.' 'I'm sorry?' 'You never said that.' Well, alright then. Guess I'm having a cone. I asked for a cup to put it in because it was clear it wasn't going to be remade, and it was basically thrown in my general direction. To boot, the ice cream had a super gummy texture and tasted more like fake almond and vanilla flavorings than anything else. Even the Carvel in town is a step up. read more

Heard this is a very popular ice cream spot among rutgers students so decided to stop by one day while drive by jersey. It is right off the road which is not quite normal if you live in the city for a while. But there is a parking lot right next to it. There is a seating area/garden next to the icecream house for you to sit down and chat with friends while eating icecream. Great selections of ice cream and shakes and also reasonable price. read more

Just got back from Dairy Deluxe and I can't wait till I go again! $3.25 for a small vanilla soft serve with whip cream and cherry topping. Their soft serve is one of the best I've had- substantial and creamy. Additionally they use real whipping cream instead of Reddi Whip. Prices are very reasonable- kiddie sizes start around $2.50 and the most expensive item is about $5 for a deluxe sundae. They sell soft serve, hard ice cream, ices, shakes, and slushes. Cash only. There is a small parking lot on one side of the building. On the other side is a cute little brick patio area with two picnic tables and a bench that is fenced off from Raritan. Shrubbery also surrounds the fence so if you are facing the right direction and traffic's not too bad you can pretend you are somewhere else! Open late- I was there around 10:30pm on a sunday night. read more
