Popular spot in Spring Lake just outside the main downtown. Loved the selection - something for everyone here. We had - Cookie Monster, Oreo, Coffee, Chocolate Obsession, and Jersey Monkey. No one wasted a lick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating inside on a Saturday afternoon was limited, though managed to get a few seats for our 4 person family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Careful in the parking lot! Lots of kids and teenage drivers - saw a few close calls! read more

My mom recommended this ice cream joint as we were leaving our fun 4th of July weekend in Bayhead. I wasn't originally going to eat any ice cream but after seeing the cookie monster flavor, I knew that I needed to try it. I ordered a small and they gave me what looked like a pint which was pretty awesome. Let me tell you, I'm not normally a fan of ice cream because dessert isn't my all-time favorite thing and ice cream is too cold but oh my god! This was the best ice cream that I've EVER had. I live in the city and I've never experienced ice cream, store bought or homemade that was as good as this. The flavor was creamy, not too sweet, and there was SO MANY cookie and cookie dough chunks. Sure my mouth was blue for a while but it was SOOO worth it. I would love to come back again the next time I happen to be in Bayhead. Unfortunately that might just have to be another year on the 4th. read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Very good, rich, creamy, flavorful ice cream + Lots .... I mean LOTS of flavors to choose from + They let you try the flavors (like many ice cream parlors). Major plus! + Ordered the Cherry Vanilla, Salted Shipwreck, Black Raspberry, Strawberry, Espresso Mocha Chunk, Jersey Monkey on cones and cups. All were excellent! + Small cone with 2 scoops was MASSIVE and actually had 4 scoops on it, so kudos to the employees for not skimping + They also sell [[HIGHLIGHT]]saucers and ice cream [[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]cakes + Very spacious interior + Big enough private parking lot THE NOT SO GOOD -[[HIGHLIGHT]]--------------------------- - Only 1 table inside with 7 chairs. There's a counter to stan[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]d at to eat your ice cream too - Some employees (like the one who served us) were kind of "blah" and not very enthusiastic read more

Ice cream is delicious. Great place to bring your kids. Ice cream is so creamy and the staff is super friendly

Oh my freaking goodness this ice cream is dreamy. We had the lavender honey, chocolate explosion and cookie butter but honestly all the flavors looked delicious. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you're in the area!! YUMMMM. The staff was really kind and there was no line so that's a miracle read more

Hoffmans Ice Cream - Mint - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Great ice cream and ginormous servings! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My kids loved this place during our beach getaway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So many flavors to choose from and the good old fashioned ice cream. You can order ahead and pick up to go and avoid the 30-50 ppl line but it moved fast. read more

If you want a no frills "home made" ice cream parlor this is your place! This is the best home made ice cream down the shore. However is lacks any atmosphere. Especially what you would want from a small beach town. Expect large scoops, a nice variety of classic flavors. Reasonable prices, but always very busy. Take a ticket when you walk in and you will be served when your number is called. Be aware the parking lot will be busy after dinner hours! read more

One of The Best Ice Cream Shops according to NJ.com. Just a 10 minute walk from the train, it's off the beaten path and NOT near the raucous beach so that right there is a plus for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is large but only houses one table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of flavors to choose from. Even vegan selections and a variety of soft serve. I got a small (which was huge to me) Salty Shipwreck in a waffle cone. It was really good. I especially liked the bits of chocolate covered waffle cone in it. My scooper was sweet, no pun intended. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean except for the bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the price was moderate... for the shore, I guess it's decent. read more

Fun spot to stop. Simple but clean establishment. Plenty of friendly helpful counter staff. There are three cases of ice cream flavors. One case has some sugar free and vegan options which is a nice twist. Our flavors today were amazing and we're looking forward to trying some new ones again this week while on vacation. read more

Killer ice cream! I've tried a few of their locations and the ice cream was delicious as usual. Usually a line but that just means it good!!

Coconut joy! Say no more. When my daughter went to U of Delaware, we would send her a Care package with coconut joy. When she's back in Jersey, her first stop is Hoffmans. As for me... coconut joy is my favorite although I've been known to have Coffee Oreo once in a while. read more

another really delicious homemade ice cream spot. I got the chocolate explosion flavor, definitely will be back for other flavors read more

Hoffmans Ice Cream - chocolate explosion - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Stopped in late November for an ice cream fix. A young man helped us out and was great, offering samples and it helped my indecisive wife choose :) My wife got the "small" which was huge! 2 scoops, 1 of jersey monkey (her all time fave) and 1 of smores. It was a great serving for $5. I went with a milkshake and it was a good one. I hadn't had one in a bit and this hit the spot. It did take about 3 mins to make, there appeared to be some trouble with the mixer but we were in no rush. We had not been to Hoffman's since they closed their locations a bit closer to home but it is still delicious! read more

I loved everything about this ice cream place and would recommend anytime you are visiting Point Pleasant! Firstly, they have so many flavors to choose from - I highly recommend the espresso mocha crunch- which has actual delicious coffee crunches in it! My favorite was the toasted coconut, probably one of the best coconut ice creams I had! I got the small- which was essentially a large by any other standards! There is a huge line but it goes by so quickly and the service is incredible! read more

Hoffmans Ice Cream - Small ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

I've been to their location in spring lake years ago, and after having breakfast in the area, we noticed they had a location in point pleasant as well. As it was barely noon, there was no wait and service was accommodating and friendly. The man serving us was quite understanding when we had a miscommunication about the cones and the number of scoops and quickly remedied it. Everyone loved the ice cream--I got the vegan cookie and mint, which I didn't love. Compared to other vegan ice creams, it was a little icier and not as creamy. But we bought ice cream saucers to take home, which are circular ice cream sandwiches and I can't wait to try them! read more

Hoffman's has been a favorite for literally a lifetime when vacationing at the Jersey shore in the summer. When I found myself visiting nearby Belmar for a family obligation in November, I knew that Hoffman's would be sure to please! I enjoyed a scoop of vegan black raspberry chip, although the texture was a little different, as well as pumpkin. YUM!!! read more

We love Hoffmanns! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful ice cream, friendly staff and great location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We're down the shore every summer and this is a must stop. We ride our bikes, park and enjoy their yummy ice cream! Best in town. read more

I love ice cream. Ate here twice the week we were down. The ice cream is delicious. There's a ton of flavors and they give you so much even for a small. Prices are very fair. This is my favorite ice cream place down the shore. read more

Great ice cream! Friendly people behind the counter. Knowledgeable and patient with new customers was a definite plus.

After a delicious dinner with friends, dessert was on the mind and we stopped here! Great location, with seating, and I grabbed a Coconut Joy milkshake which literally tasted like a Mounds chocolate bar, in a milkshake. Absolutely fantastic! read more

Great ice cream. Many flavors. Staff could smile more. I will be very honest this is the second time I've gone in to Hoffman's and it smells horrific. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a month and it smells like it. I never remember it being like this before. I've been coming here for many many years. Others were commenting out on the sidewalk as we ate our ice cream. If your staff can't handle it then you need to hire a professional cleaner every night. Unacceptable. read more

This business offers delicious homemade ice cream. It is a favorite when visiting Point Pleasant. My family and I will definitely return when we are in town. The business is very cute, and the service is wonderful. It's refreshing to visit an old fashioned business. read more

If you're seeking good service, this is not your place to be. The employees here couldn't care less about the customers and won't even bother speaking with you. Forget them telling you your total when paying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a mess and no one seems to care about their jobs or the customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go to Sundaes or Point Creamery. The he employees actually acknowledge your existence and seem grateful to have your business. read more

To all locations. I highly suggest this shore staple. I have not been to Hoffmans in a few years and I used to go religiously to the spring lake location however this stop is just like the other and sooo good. They do have vegan options now. They also have the kindest staff. And takeout packages. Cakes, ice cream sandwiches, etc., Sooo gooooddd. read more

The tagalong hard ice cream was great! I'm usually not a hard ice cream person and I loved this hard ice cream. The soft chocolate and vanilla is little to be desired :/ It wasn't thick, creamy, or indulgent like I really wanted. The flavor was actually kind of hollow and watery. There are plenty of better places around town for soft serve. The employers are really nice, and the place is clean! read more

Went on a weekday afternoon for ice cream with my dad. The line was decent and I could only imagine the line on a weekend. The ice cream was pretty good with plenty of flavors to opt for. Always spoilt for choice here (milkshake vs ice cream vs flavors). Staff members were quick and friendly. Seating available indoors and outdoors. Gave a cabin ambiance. The location is good and has its own parking area. read more

When we do a weekend getaway to the Jersey Shore and do Point Pleasant a trip to Hoffmans is a must! It's one of those family style ice cream joints that is a nice change over the normal fro-yo and Pinkberry's that are all over. I'm all in for their seasonal flavors like the blueberry pie ice cream with fresh blueberries, and their popular Cookie Monster in a sugar cone. So good, and so are their soft serve flavors. Lines can be long so don't forget to take a number! read more

Great service, ice cream is delicious but really overpriced. I will always come back but you should make a family package.

How can you go wrong with ice cream near the beach? Hard, soft, shakes, they have it all. They have a proper COVID setup too. My only minor complaint was that...I've had better cookie monster ice cream elsewhere. It's a big deal for me ok!?! The cookie part was just right but the ice cream itself just did not hit the spot. My wife's shake was great though. All that being said, I would absolutely come back the next time I head to the shore. read more

I love this ice cream place! The chocolate chip cookie dough was great and they have so many flavors I really like that they have their own parking lot and there are not too many tables inside but a few places to sit outside. The staff was also very nice and all four or five of them that were working on Sunday were very nice! I just wish I lived closer read more

Really great homemade ice cream. The blueberry pie flavor is to die for! We also had the vanilla, butter pecan and something that was chocolate with chocolate covered almonds and caramel. The butter pecan didn't have a strong flavor it kind of tasted like vanilla ice cream with pecans in it. But I would definitely return and definitely get that blueberry pie again. They also had candles with the ice cream flavors that smelled so good. read more
