    Strawberry cheesecake

    Ernie's is still so good! the small key-lime soft serve is still the best option here for me. I was hoping to get my dog a pup-cup but didn't see it on the menu so I didn't ask about it. When our server asked if my dog wanted a pup-cup it made our day!

    Two scoops: cannoli and s'mores

    This was my first time at Ernie's and I'll absolutely be back! Although the line was fairly long, it moved quickly. They have SO many flavors, all home made. I tried the cannoli and s'mores ice cream. The cannoli ice cream was delicious, loved the cannoli shell pieces in it. S'mores ice cream is my favorite and Ernie's is some of the best I've had. The ice cream had great graham cracker flavor and huge pieces of dark chocolate. I'm sure we'll be back again to try more flavors this summer!

    I've passed Ernie's Ice Cream many times but never actually stopped, until I found out that they have 32 flavors of soft serve ice cream available. I took a quick trip there on my bike, and ordered 3 soft serve flavors: amaretto, creamsicle, and hazelnut. They dont actually have 32 different soft serve machines. It looks like they take the vanilla soft serve, add a flavored syrup, and then push it through a machine that mixes and dispenses. The flavors were pretty good, but they had a vanilla undertone. Could just be me since i saw how they actually did it. They're super busy whenever i pass by, but the the line moves quick. Worth the trip if you wanna try different flavors of soft serve.

    Cute little local ice cream shop located in Mahwah. Parking can definitely get crazy and difficult to find once the warmer weather comes. They have great prices for the amount of ice cream you can get. My favorite is their strawberry because they put actual strawberry chunks into the ice cream. Their cake batter is also delicious. Highly recommend the black raspberry blast. Amazing flavor. A good stop after a long summer day for a quick treat.

    Yum yum I want some

    Go here for amazing homemade ice-cream, Italian ice and soft serve! I love the fall favs and apple pie is to die for! It tastes like cinnamon ice-cream with little chunks of apple pie filling. I really love it! THERE ARE SO MANY FLAVORS!!! They carry pumpkin, banana and coconut seasonally which are my favs and sometimes hard to find. They even have Pineapple Dole Whip for all you fans that want to Pretend you are in a tropical island instead of the concrete jersey Jungle. The lines are long but they are quick to serve if the people in front can decide in time. They have little picnic benches on the front and side and sometimes the parking is tight but just park next door if it's after hours. Glad this gem is close to home. It's like I found a little Curlys but closer xoxo thanks for keeping it real (the bananas) it's bananas!

    After ELEVEN check-ins, I've decided to update my review because of this one incident I had recently. I literally drive 30-35 minutes (each way) to Mahwah just for Ernie's ice cream. I will get to why I docked off 3 stars towards the end. My go-to flavors were Mississippi Mud Pie and Peanut Butter Caramel Cookie Dough. Ohhh noooo... BOTH flavors were replaced I ended up getting Peanut Butter Pie & Java Fudge Chip. Which is almost the same as my previous flavors. Boo got a coffee milkshake. My ice cream was really good, but Ernie's flavors never disappoint so I wasn't worried about that. All the 10 times that I've gone, the girls (employees) have always been friendly. I always gave them a tip because of their great customer service. Except the last time I was there which was 6/10/23 at night. When boo tasted his milkshake, he asked me to try it. It tasted like vanilla and the color was white. So I took another sip to make sure. He didn't want me to go back, but I went anyway because the girls are always so nice. I went back to the counter and I NICELY asked the girl who made it if it was coffee and before I could even finish my question, she said YEA ITS COFFEE. So I said that it tasted like Vanilla. Then she proceeds to say, "If you want, I can make you a new one." So I said, "Sure, please." Hoping not for her to get upset in any type of way. She took it and as she was throwing it in the garbage, she started cursing to her coworkers and getting an attitude. I get it you're tired (welcome to reality and dealing with customers). But if you were gonna get THIS nasty disgusting attitude, you shouldn't have offered to make me a new one. And after getting her attention, I told her JUST that. She ended up walking to the back room and her coworker made me a new one. The new one was beige and actually looked and tasted like a coffee milkshake.

    Sea salt caramel, peanut butter pie, and black raspberry. Great combo!

    Tried Ernie's for the first time earlier tonight. They have a huge selection of soft and hard ice cream. Creative flavors. They allow three different flavors in a large cup. They definitely have nice portions. There was a solid line but it moved quickly. The ice cream itself was high quality, very delicious! Four of us got dessert for under $20.

Despite the store being advertised as open until 10:00 PM, I was told that Blizzards were no longer available because the machines had already been cleaned. This was frustrating, as Blizzards are a core menu item, and there was no indication that they would stop being served an hour before closing. More concerning, however, was the attitude of the staff on duty. The explanation was delivered in a condescending and unwelcoming manner, which made it feel as though customers arriving during the final hour were an inconvenience rather than being served respectfully. I believe this reflects poorly on the store's customer service standards. If certain items are unavailable before closing, this should be clearly communicated to customers. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the conduct of the employees working that shift. EDIT: They served someone a blizzard 12 minutes before closing after denying us an HOUR before closing.

While our first experience was positive (tasty and had even given us a charitable discount), this year was incredibly disappointing. We booked the truck for 1.5 hours to support a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Due to lower-than-anticipated turnout, attendees stopped purchasing ice cream around the 45-minute mark. Despite us having booked the truck for the full 1.5 hours, the operator decided to leave early on his own accord without asking our input on it. When it came time to settle the payment, we had to pull funds directly from our charity collections to pay the full booking fee (which is fine except communication with this company grew increasingly difficult and we only had a check for the full time amount not knowing if his charity event fee would be lower then the listed price). We asked if we could pay at a later date since we were only at the half time mark, but the operator insisted on being paid immediately, telling us that he would 'remember' to give us a break next time. The day after the event, we reached out to see if he would honor that 'break' by applying the 45 minutes he didn't work toward a future Teacher Appreciation Luncheon (where he would still be making money from individual sales). He refused, insisting that because we booked two time blocks, we must pay for both, even though he chose to leave our event early. It is disheartening to see a vendor take funds directly out of a charity's pocket and then refuse to honor their word regarding a future credit. We will not be using this service again.

The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.
