Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert.

This DQ is THE best Dairy Queen in the state! There is hardly ever a line due to the awesome managers and staff that work there! Customers come first! There is ample parking and the most amazing thing happens in late November....the entire parking lot turns into a Winter Wonderland with the most amazing Christmas tree selection you will ever see!

But, let's start with the good: This ice cream shop is a bit hard to find - it's on the second floor right above the Cheesecake Factory (you're welcome). It's a very small shop, with a handful of small tables to eat at. They do have a fairly large variety of ice cream flavors, which you can choose from on the sign in the wall. They offer scoops, shakes, and drinks blended with ice cream. The staff is pretty nice and accommodating - they showed love with extra napkins. The Dazzler (basically a big plastic cup of ice cream with different toppings mixed inside) was pretty good and a good size, like a grande coffee, for the price. Now to the not so great part of the experience. My group ordered ice cream scoops and a shake. I went all in for the $10 option with 3 scoops. And what I got looked like one big half melted scoop in a cup. It was a sad sight to see - I posted the picture with this review for reference. Yes, the ice cream tastes good. But, it's the exactly same that you get from the containers at the store. Since 3 scoops at this shop is equivalent to almost half a pint, you can barely share it. S So, scoops are like sample sizes and just a waste of money when you can buy two pints at the market for the same price. This is the first time I've ever been to an ice cream shop that skimped on the serving sizes like this. So, I'll be taking my ice cream money elsewhere, like Torico where they are more generous.

Milkshake lovers, this one is for you!…read more Any chance I get to try a new milkshake spot, I'm taking it, so a visit to The Milk Shake Factory was a no-brainer. We ordered the Bananas Foster milkshake , the Peanut Butter Cookie Brownie milkshake , and another person in our group went with the two-scoop special featuring green tea and vanilla ice cream . The milkshakes were rich, creamy, and generously sized without being overwhelmingly sweet. The ice cream was also smooth and flavorful. Beyond milkshakes, they offer ice cream scoops and an impressive selection of chocolate bark bars . One of the highlights of our visit was the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcomed us to sample the different bark flavors before deciding what to purchase. That level of hospitality always makes a difference. The shop itself is cute and quaint with a small seating area if you'd like to enjoy your treats inside. It's not a huge space, but it feels cozy and inviting. I also loved seeing local teenagers working summer jobs, and they all provided friendly, attentive customer service. Another big plus is the value. For Jersey City, the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Most milkshakes are $11 or less, and the two-scoop special was only $4.50. Considering the portion sizes, it's a great deal and noticeably more affordable than some of the larger ice cream chains nearby. If you're craving a sweet treat, a loaded milkshake, or just want to satisfy your ice cream fix, this spot is definitely worth checking out.
