Make sure to bring cash as this establishment is cash only. They do have an ATM on the side of the building so feel free to use that if you are comfortable. The soft serve is delicious and I enjoyed that they have different flavors of the day in both soft serve and Italian Ice. Their Italian Ice is served through the same type of machine as their Italian Ice. It's a smooth treat with powerful flavor. I had their version of a blizzard with their Oreo soft serve and some PB cups which I would highly recommend. read more

Lighthouse Italian Ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

Amazing custardy soft serve and delicious Italian ice! Got the strawberry-kiwi ice with vanilla soft serve and it was amazing together! Mango Italian ice is also delicious. They also give samples which is nice :) The place itself has a nice old-school vibe with a walk up counter, neon lights, and open-air seating. The price is good too, around $5 for a huge serving. Cash only (but there is an atm). read more

First time at the Red bank location and we enjoyed our ice cream after dinner. (they also have a Long Branch location which was seemed bigger but equally as good). Parking was easy with their lot plus plenty of their outdoor tables. We will visit again when in Red Bank again, read more

normally, I love coming here, especially when mint chocolate chip is a flavor but recently the ice cream portion sizes have gone down tremendously. I ordered a large and I got the smallest ice cream I've ever had in my life with barely any chocolate chips on it. I wish this was a better review because I love this place but maybe next time. read more

Lighthouse Italian Ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

Strawberry soft serve, rarely seen-but available here. I actually prefer their soft serve ice cream to their Italian ices, which taste (too sweet) for me. Kids'll be happy in any case. read more

I mean it's probably hard NOT to like this place. Had 3 flavor cup. $5 and CASH ONLY (atm on side) and it was huge and delicious. Cherry, Lemon and Blue Rasberry for me. Lots of different flavors and items you can get. It was cold out and still people there so I can only imagine this place gets packed in summer read more

Lighthouse Italian Ice - a cup of ice cream on a blue table - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

I bought a small ice cream cone with sprinkles for $5.50 at Red Bank light house. Wow that got expensive. No big deal, everything has gotten expensive. A week later I go with my wife I get the same small ice cream cone and she gets a kid cup with ice cream and sprinkles. The girl said $14. I think this place is just charging whatever they want. These girls are ripping people off. Since when is a kids cup of ice cream $8.50. I won't be going to Light house anymore. read more

This was a cute little ice cream place located in Red Bank. J called ahead to see if they had vegan flavors but no one answered the phone. I felt it was probably because they were super busy. We walked there from another restaurant down the street. I asked the girl at the window if they had vegan flavors and she was nice and friendly but she said they didn't. In today's modern society as well as being located in trendy Red Bank, they should have at least ONE vegan flavor. They did have Italian ice that is naturally vegan, which is not ice cream. Only one out of the group got something because we were looking forward to vegan ice cream. I am very disappointed in this establishment by not even having one vegan flavor. read more

Got the vanilla and orange ice cream. Tasted like an Orange creamsicle, it was very good. The vanilla ice cream was very smooth and creamy, and the orange ice cream was kind of like a sorbet. Overall it's pretty good ice cream for a decent price. There's some seating around and they're open late. read more

Lighthouse Italian Ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

It's 940 pm in colts neck not a person on the road as we venture toward our favorite after dinner treat. I'm concerned that perhaps it may be closed as there is zero traffic on a Monday night. Amazingly as I approached the long time landmark " The lighthouse" it's name serves it well Bright logo, and a populous of Italian ice fans there to assure us they are open! The young ladies who work there are just that... ladies. Great manners, big smiles are part of our American treat... ice cream. And boy do they have delicious ices and soft serve It may not be the absolute best I've had .. but it is the best experience one could have when diving into our guilty pleasure Go! It's fun, it's like being a kid again. Love it read more

I love Lighthouse Italian Ice! It is cash only but the prices are cheaper than most other ice cream places. They also have an ATM and seating on premises. All of the italian ices and ice creams are soft serve which is the best part! They have like 10+ italian ice flavors daily. My favorite thing to get is a mix of the mango Italian ice and vanilla ice cream. They also have vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry soft serve ice cream every day and usually a bonus flavor or two like oreo, cannoli, snickers, etc. It's definitely worth it when you need a sweet treat! read more

For that old soft serve custard crave. So reliable and tasty. Quite good always! Friendly down to earth service with a smile !

If you want a simple, nostalgic ice cream outing this is it. The Italian ice and soft serve is so good. read more

Cash only but really tasty soft serve. Their small is not the small I'm used to in VA so it's a huge portion and they hook it up with the sprinkles. They are quick and easy, have space for social distancing, and a few tables to sit at. read more

Visited Lighthouse at Oktoberfest in Fair Haven. Was disappointed to see that the we're offering limited flavors, but understandable, as it was a truck. Unfortunately, they had ran out of Cherry, but we were still able to try Lemon and Blue Raspberry. The consistency isn't like Italian ice you'd get at a Ralph's or Rita's as it is dispensed from a machine. I absolutely loved it, and was happy to try, as I'd never been to Strollo's. read more

Not bad, but not spectacularly great. Ralph's Ices are actually better with pieces of fruit in some of the flavors. They don't even have spumoni. Not a bad stop if you're in the area, but won't make a specific drive for their ices.. read more

Lighthouse Italian Ice - Lemon and cherry iced. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

Nice location, easy to park... Plenty of seats available Do they have the best ice cream and ices? Probably not but they were refreshing, reasonably priced and the portions are huge The kids cone is more than enough for most folks I sampled a few of their ices but elected to go with a small twist soft serve ice cream. Very good mix. Definitely will hit this location again when I am in red bank. read more

This place is so Jersey and they have so much to chose from! My daughter ordered the children's chocolate ice cream with sprinkles which I am not too fine of sweets but their ice cream is very pure and not too sweet. The ice cream does melt quickly because there are an additives out into the ice cream. We have been all over the world and this is by far one of my favorite ice cream stops. There aren't any bathrooms but luckily I was about to use the Laundromat facility with my daughter. She had an amazing time. Her uncle and aunt both ordered mixed flavors from the Italian ice menu and they were amazing as well! I absolutely love the outdoor seating as well. It's very intimate and friendly. On my next trip out here I will be back. Thank you guys!! read more

Limited flavors but makes it up in the quality of the ice cream/italian ices. Very smooth and flavorful read more

Love this place! When I'm in the area and craving Italian ice and soft serve. I've tried them both and think they are very awesome! The employees are pretty friendly. The one Italian ice I think stands out is the cantaloupe. You never think to order it but it is my fave and it's very refreshing on a hot day. There is parking but there aren't many spots. They are tight spaces. It's best to come from north, going south on Bridge avenue because the entrance is a one way. There are a couple of tables on the side of the store. Don't forget money - it's cash only! read more

The Belmar Strollo's ice location is my usual go-to when I'm down the shore. I was excited to see that Red Bank also had a place which was seemingly exactly the same as Strollo's. The Italian ice here is not like your typical ice. Instead of being scooped into a cup, it comes from a soft serve type machine and is swirled into a cup. It's a bit creamier then your traditional ice, which in my opinion, tastes much better! You can put up to a couple flavors in a small cup, so I usually go with 3 flavors in one cup. It's only $3.50 for a small cup - very reasonable, decent portion size. A pet peeve of mine about this location is they don't have the flavors listed anywhere. You have to wait until you get closer to the window to peer inside to see the flavors they have available that particular day. It doesn't help that the lines here seem to get insanely long with kids who all need to order separately. The parking lot here is SO AWFUL. It only fits about 4 cars, and is a really tight squeeze to get in and out. I would recommend parking on the street and just taking a short walk to get here. read more

Lighthouse Italian Ice - Lemon-Lime and Mango-Lemon - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

DELICIOUS!!! If you ever have the chance to come to Lighthouse, take it. Best place to go for a light and refreshing dessert, no matter what flavor you get. The texture of the ice is very smooth but not like soft serve. Flavors are phenomenal, I personally recommend getting the coconut ice. Pro tip get a smaller size they will stack up the ice very high! read more

This small, unassuming shack has the best Italian ice I have ever had. They somehow make it so that it comes out of a soft serve machine. The flavors are intense, and they give you a lot in the cup. They also have soft serve which is cool because you can get chocolate, sprinkles, or whatever on top. I think the soft serve is excellent, but not as life-changing as the Italian ice. Cash only with ATM on site (there is a fee). read more

Best ice cream along the shore. A shame parking can be tight sometimes, but you have to make sacrifices for quality ice cream. Good service too, which is not always a given at ice cream establishments in NJ. read more

I LOVE Lighthouse ! I came into town for 4 weeks and as soon as I discovered this gem I couldn't stop coming back! I had all my nieces and nephews loving this place too! We went all the time! This is a great place to hang around with family and friends and enjoy the weather. I made so many special memories with my nieces, nephews, and friends. Definitely a place where I will be coming back when I'm back in town. Also, if your in the area you have to try it!! You'll love it! Everyone working behind the counter are sweet and knowledgable of the products. I wish for a LightHouse in Miami!! (Only cash, by the way) read more

I love this place so much. I don't come to The red bank one often as I usually go the new one in Belford or the one in seabright but it's pretty much all the same anyway. I love their cappuccino soft the the best. I definitely recommend following them on instagram (the location of your choice) so keep up with their flavors of the week. The only reason they lose a star is because the red bank and Belford location has terrible parking. Not really anything they can change now but I really hate their parking lots read more

I'm leaving a similar review that I just left on the Long Branch location page. The reason why this is getting a three and not a five is because you advertise flavors that you don't have. You were advertising on Instagram that you had cantaloupe and pumpkin. On two separate days, I went and asked for those flavors and both days you didn't have them. Stop advertising flavors that you don't have. Ice cream is good though. read more

Great service, and really good dessert. If you can't have dairy and want something creamy, try the peanut ice. It tastes like peanut ice cream. It's amazing. read more

While Yelp and the website say open until 11 pm on Fridays they actually close at 10:00 pm. At least 15 people rolled up as we paused there.

Listen, I love going to the light house, but this past experience was not great. The worker that took our order was pre occupied with her friends rather than the customers. She got both my friend and my orders wrong, probably because her friends came to visit and she was paying attention to them, but for the price of light house, I want it to be correct. read more

It's not quite like the one in Long Branch but they still serve really good ices with decent, if not great ice cream. The parking lot is a little cramped. Wish it was closer to Front/Broad so we could walk over after dinner. Drove over but unless you put North Bridge Avenue instead of Bridge Ave into the GPS, you may not find it. read more

Read on Strollos site that they were open; yelp lists it as open right now, also. Went by there at 4:30pm today; they were CLOSED! No sign on windows indicating any emergency, all lights were off, including neon outside sign lights. Irresponsible. read more

Tons of flavors and the servers are the nicest people. A little on the sweet side. Easy parking. I would come here again.

this is definitely my go-to ice cream place in the summer. they have a great variety of soft serve options and a must try. it doesn't have a great parking situation but the food is worth it. read more

Great place and friendly people. Ice is top shelf. Staple of Red Bank.

The perfect way to end a night out in red bank. Great location with a parking lot and street parking. The lines look longer than they are and tend to move quickly. Lots of customer volume because the product is that good. Summer nights with friends and family along with with some lighthouse Italian ice is utopia. Cash only with an ATM on spot. read more

Best italian ever..... I had mango and chocolate medium cup combination... out of this world experience.... sooo good!!!

Yum! This place is really good. Their soft serve style Italian ice is really good! The peanut butter flavor and pistachio were delicious. Such a smart idea to do that! They always have a special flavor of the day too. Their sizes are generous. The small is a great size. The girls helping my friends and I were all very nice and offered samples for us to try since it was our first time there. I recommend checking this place out! read more
