I ordered a small soft serve and let's just say I can't imagine what a large would've looked like. The prices seemed fair and I would love to try out their hard ice cream next time. The workers were friendly and prompt. There is plenty of seating outside on the patio and some seating inside as well. The only odd thing was the 40" TV displaying four security camera angles. Not sure what they were going for with that.

Cilento on on MAY 18, 2026: Good news! I just got off the phone with our good friend Laszlo, owner of Dairy Quick, and he confirmed that they will be opening for the season, just a little later than expected. Hopefully this puts the rumors to rest, because Dairy Quick is a great annual Dunellen tradition and a valued local business! https://www.facebook.com/mayorcilento/posts/pfbid02QRUw778jF7W6aNzkaRhJjWdet1tUpB9ErwrLE4uPUhtLVwUv4SGZ5j59QQ3orTfrl

As a connoisseur of fine ice creams, I recently indulged in the Rum & Raisin flavor, a personal…read morefavorite. The experience was nothing short of impressive. The rich, creamy texture combined with the robust flavor of rum and the sweet, chewy raisins created a delightful symphony of taste and texture. My companion opted for a strawberry ice cream shake. While it was well-prepared, the flavor didn't quite resonate with me, as strawberry isn't my preferred choice. However, for those who enjoy a classic strawberry shake, it would likely be a satisfying option. I am eager to return for another serving of the Rum & Raisin ice cream. Next time, I plan to enhance the experience by adding a sprinkle of walnuts or hazelnuts, introducing a delightful crunch that would complement the smooth, rich base. Great service and they have few outdoor benches as well to enjoy your ice cream.

Best soft serve I have ever had!!!…read more Honestly... I can't say enough good things about this place. To say I was pleasantly surprised I'd an understatement. I got a soft serve swirl with cookie dough bites and it was delicious. The ice cream is perfectly creamy, and the vanilla had an almost marshmallow-y taste to it. It also sort of reminded me of the cream inside an Oreo. Perfectly balanced between creamy and cold- it didn't taste watered down or too "Icy". My mom and my 16 month old also agreed. (Ok, my mom agreed. My son was a fan but he doesn't quite understand just how good it was yet.) My son didn't finish his, so we brought it back with us to upstate NY. Yes, it was good enough to save in the freezer at our hotel and then to shlep back home so I could enjoy one more time. And also so my husband could try it since I couldn't stop raving about it. Also worth noting- I'm very impressed at their variety. They have lots of soft serve and hard ice cream flavors. I hope I have another work trip that brings me back, cause I will be dreaming of this ice cream until then!

A Sweet Surprise in Dunellen!…read more After living in the area for over 20 years, I finally stopped by this local ice cream shop--and I'm honestly blown away. I've visited twice now and each time has been better than the last. The shop is under new ownership, and Mike (the new owner) is awesome. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly passionate about making this place special. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in. I've never really been into Italian ice, but this place completely changed my mind. The flavors are bold and refreshing--Cappuccino and Mudslide are my personal favorites. Rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. And here's the cherry on top: they welcome your furry friends and even offer a complimentary pup cup to go. Both my dogs were very happy--and let's be honest, that made me even happier. I was too busy enjoying the Italian ice to snap a photo of it (it was that good), but I did grab a pic of the pup cups--because happy dogs deserve the spotlight too! If you're in or around Dunellen, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Great treats, great people, and a super welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

They also have a pretty extensive topping bar. My go-to is the toasted coconut, which is usually in stock. My only complaint is that at some point they changed the cheesecake bites, which were not as good as the original ones. The atmosphere of this place is pretty fun -- they have cute seating. Sometimes it can be hard to get seating on busy nights, but there's also places to sit outside. One thing I appreciate about this location is that they always honor app promotions and coupons. Solid place for frozen yogurt!

There is limited service as the frozen yogurt is a self serve situation. You're able to pick your flavors and toppings and then pay by weight. Seating is variable depending on when you go.

Whether you're looking for a solid salad, the Cobb with fried chicken and their house-made ranch is a must, or a gourmet burger, they always hit the mark. On my most recent visit, I tried the Double Smashed & Seared Angus Burger (a limited-time menu special). It was excellent, featuring a perfect blend of roasted garlic aioli, house-pickled onions, on a toasted brioche bun. It was huge. My friend opted for the Root Beer BBQ Burger, which was equally impressive. Don't skip the homemade ice cream! Their flavors are rich and unique. My favorites are the Black Raspberry Truffle (with huge chocolate chips) and the Coconut Almond Chip are my personal favorites. The atmosphere is lovely, with a comfortable dining room and a nice outdoor patio. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. There are handicapped spots in the front, and plenty of additional parking in the lots behind and in the additional lot next door to the restaurant. This place gets busy! If you have a large party, definitely call ahead for a reservation.

It was really fascinating how many flavor options they had available. The shop calls itself homemade so I assume it is, but it's impressive to offer so much. I ordered a Thai iced tea in a small size. It may have been their small but it was a large scoop in the cup. It was a welcomed surprise to end my night out, the ice cream end up being very good and tasted exactly how the namesaked drink tasted like. There was a bit of a wait to it even though there was maybe 3 people in front of me in line. I think it was a good 15 to 20 minutes of waiting before I was able to order. Almost seemed like they did one order at a time. I may have ordered ice cream in a cup but they were still doing milk shakes and other things for other people. I assume that's what took so long. They have wooden benches outside in the parking lot which is nice on a summer night to sit and enjoy a treat. Probably will come again when I stumble near it.

The soft serve- a classic with so many toppings. The hard serve and Italian ice is all homemade and the multiple flavors come from generations of family recipes.

Don't forget to grab some cookie wafer ice cream sandwiches to go for home, and for their winter off season! You can tell how good the ice cream is here, because usually there's a line down the sidewalk of people waiting! If it's not too busy, I'm always glad to stand and chat a bit with Rachel and catch up on the latest goings on in town, just like I did with Harry who ran the shop my entire childhood.
