This is some solid Ice Cream. When Kilwins in Westfield closed, we needed find a new spot. This place nailed it. We have never actually been there, but we do delivery and we have never been disappointed. I don't think they actually make the ice cream there. I think its just Hershey's, but we don't care. Its good and they have unique flavors. read more

Yum! Ice cream. I got the strawberry fields one and it was so good. Service was quick because not a lot of people eat ice cream in the winter! read more

A great selection. Great customer service! Hidden gem for sure! Every-time I go I enjoy trying a new flavor. It's a Friday evening treat. read more

Great place to all year. They carry Hershey brand ice cream with tons of flavors. The frozen yogurt mix ins are always fun. Be prepared to wait on a line in the summer especially on the weekends. read more

Great service and yummy ice cream! not sure what else there is to add. They have done a good job being socially distant within the ice cream area. It is harder now with no free samples, but all the flavors are really good. read more

The kids that work here are so friendly. Ice cream is delicious. So many options. Everyone in the family gets their favorite.

Some of the yummiest ice cream concoctions around! I don't keep a lot of sweets in the house but ice cream/gelato is the exception. My husband has a rule which dictates his flavor selections: the base flavor must be chocolate, mint, coffee or peanut butter. And this place has no shortage of options. The Cappucino Crunch may be the single best flavor in the shop. I love the yogurt blends. Low fat frozen yogurt in vanilla, chocolate or coffee with so many options....my fave is a double dose of peppermint patties in the vanilla yogurt. This place has something for everyone. Whether you like sorbet, good ole fashion plain ice cream, crazy flavors chock full of stuff, yogurt etc....you will find some delicious here. Choices are endless. Flavors are fresh. Service is super friendly. Prices are just like every other specialty ice cream shop...you get what you pay for fresh ice cream! We love the new Summit location. Worth every ounce of fat and every extra minute of cardio to work off the calories. Now if they could just open one in Livingston! PS Withheld the fifth star because gelato is our favorite and they don't have it here. Angelato in Florham Park is still number one our local fave (but this a very very close second, maybe even equal) and there are a few select places in the city and of course in Italy that would garner the five star review! read more

The service was fast, the ice cream was delicious, although it was missing that homemade taste.. Nice seating area outside the parlor and inside the parlor! Highly recommended the mint moose tracks and coffee ice creams! read more

If you are looking to cool down and beat the heat, while having a sweet treat, this is the place for you. This establishment has so many flavors! The only catch is that they get all of it from Hershey. I want my ice cream made in house, not out of house. I have to give McCools four out of five stars because my peanut butter cookies and cream ice cream was absolutely delicious! They also have a few tables outside, for an outdoor seating option. Conveniently, there is also a pizza place next door if you want to grab a slice before you stop by! read more

The pretty sunset picture one reviewer posted is actually the facade of the shop in Madison, NJ, not Summit. This review is for the former. On summer nights, many can be found sitting at outdoor tables, facing Main Street, enjoying their cool treat. The interior is small, but the ice cream is delicious and the service has always been respectful and steadily moving (sometimes the lines are long). Once outside, it's a great spot to people-watch too. read more

Perhaps one of the best flavors of ice cream I've ever had - Cappuccino Crunch. A fantastic concoction of coffee ice cream, dark chocolate fudge swirls, and toffee chunks. I was blown away the minute this hit the lips, and I knew it was a 5/5. The service was very good - she even made a recommendation to avoid adding a syrup topping to my ice cream because it would "take away from the flavor." She was spot-on, because having the ice cream alone was a heavenly experience. read more

See all

An abundance of Hershey's brand ice creams from which to choose. The staff is hit and miss. Some of them are super friendly and attentive. Some are completely disinterested. Typical high school / college kids. The ice cream itself is quite good. They're doing a high volume business here, so the ice cream turns over pretty quickly and while it's not made in-house, it is usually quite fresh. One issue I have is the hours. Why close a dessert shop at 9 -9:30 PM? With so many surrounding restaurants, why not give us until 10-10:30? I'd love to dine at a local restaurant and then stop by afterwards. Unfortunately, all too often I just miss that 9 PM close time. Fri/Sat/Sun in the summertime especially. Step it up and give us that extra hour! read more

Terrible. Staff was as friendly as a concentration camp guard. Went in at 8 (they close at 9) and they acted like I kicked their puppy. Sorry you cleaned up an hour before you close. Not my fault.. Had a milk shake. Medium is the size of a small. Paid 6 dollars. Little pricy seeing that it was basically chocolate milk not a shake when it came out of the blender. Other than that. The place is clean and they do have a great selection. I think if I went and someone friendly was there I would have had a better experience. read more

Delicious soft serve ice cream and so child friendly (that's a big deal for me). They even have child size tables and chairs. We're trying an ice cream cake next week for my daughter's 3rd birthday. They're custom-making it. Very cool. My only complaint is the decor. It needs some more energy, read more

Best ice-cream parlor around, without question. 30+ flavor to choose from, sundaes, milkshakes, etc, and they also have "yo-blends," which are basically cups of froyo with added ingredients of your choice fully blended into it. Don't waste your time going anywhere else if your in Madison and in the mood for dessert. read more

There is a very good selection of ice cream. My favorites are strawberry and black cherry in a sugar cone. There is a bulletin board for local business to put up flyers and cards. Service is always friendly. In the downtown area with outdoor seating. There is also a McCools in Madison which is just as good. read more

Had an vanilla ice cream with oreos. I found it absolutely great as person who does not like oreos. It was my first time at the shop, so I didn't know what to have. But the employee was very friendly and explanatory. read more

Not Kid-Friendly. Will never go back! Don't let the fact that its an ice cream shop and has a kids table fool you. I brought my 5 year old son and 8 other kids to the McCool's in Summit on a Wednesday afternoon after school for a scoop of ice cream on his birthday. The woman working there said next time you bring a group of kids here call ahead because I have lots of other work to do. Weird, but okay. There were 3 other customers there for the 40 minutes we were there. She was visibly annoyed with us the entire time, even when the kids couldn't decide on the kind of ice cream they wanted. The kids were playing with the line stanchions and the line sign and spilled some ice cream on the floor . As I walked outside the woman working there handed me the store phone for the owner to talk to me. The owner was angry and said "This is not a place for a birthday party, its a restaurant ! I watched you on the security camera and I saw the kids playing with the signs." A birthday party? I didn't have gifts, food or sing happy birthday. But got it!--Will stick with Red Mango right across the street. read more

The lady was so patient with my co-worker and I. We literally tried every flavor and she was making jokes and friendly conversation with us. There were so many people, but it was worth it. I opted for the play dough flavor and the heavenly hazelnut which tasted like cake batter on a brownie except all in ice cream form. It was delicious. No toppings necessary! I got the Junior Double scoop and it was the perfect amount. $4.25 for the entire thing, which was a little much, but eh. It's ice cream. Live a little! read more

An independently run ice cream shop is a rare find these days, especially one with Hershey's ice cream (and great service)! Yum. I've tried both the Orange Blossom (think creamsicle) and Peanut Butter Swirl/Chunk flavor, and they were both superb. My fiance always goes for the shakes, which he says are fantastic. All the toppings are super tempting, so maybe next time we're in town we'll get crazy. read more

A little pricey, but they have a large amount of options. I had the cappuccino crunch and thee strawberry cheesecake. Both were good, but I was not especially blown away by any particular aspect of the ice cream. read more

Me and my family love this place! The staff is super friendly, and the service is quick. We have gone to others in town, but this one is the best. read more

Don't listen to the negative reviews. This is our families' favorite summer treat in Summit. Staff is extremely accommodating even to our indecisive preschooler. Great selection, portions and service. read more

McCool's on beechwood rd in summit, nj. I ordered a sundae, person put chocolate sauce on it even though i didn't ask for it. No longer carry dulce de leche ice cream. Then, much to my dismay, there was mold on the banana. I threw it out. I'll go somewhere else. read more

Good ice cream - not good service. Three girls standing around talking and drinking sodas while only one girl worked. Maybe it'll get better when it gets busier this summer. read more

Recently stopped in here after dinner. Got a yo-blend (yogurt blend) that was delicious! Nice store with lots of flavors and options to choose from. Staff was nice. Guess this is a new location. I would definitely go back! read more

First visit last night found really tasty ice cream and toppings. Right in the center of Summit's busy restaurant area, just down the street from the train station. Yay, finally found Hershey's ice cream again there. I've missed it for years since it is no longre found in Westfield. Walk-friendly town and great ice cream...can't go wrong. Saw some nice looking ice cream cakes, large variety of ice cream AND frozen yogurt flavors. Easy to find after dinner in one of the area's good restaurants or after doing some shopping in downtuwn Summit. read more

The ice cream is just ok - run of the mill ice cream (not like homemade Zita's in New Providence). Lots of variety though and always great service. And location is in downtown summit near the train station so very convenient. read more

I've been to McCools many times since they first opened their Summit location and I have to say that I was very impressed with their selection of ice cream. Their milkshakes are extremely delicious and their location right by the Summit train station is very convenient. I will say though that their milkshakes are a little pricey and because of that I wouldn't give them five stars. Overall, I would definitely recommend going to McCools if you're looking for some delicious ice cream and shakes in Summit! read more

Very disappointed with this place. We came in with high expectations, however, these sadly were not at all met. The ice cream is not homemade, it is Hershey's ice cream and quite frankly it didn't taste like it. It tasted like store brand ice cream from a carton-basically frozen water with color. We both ordered a shake, the size small which on the sign is 12 ounces, and were served that. Our "shake" was ice cream melted into a cup. However, we were charged double what we should have been, the staff insisting they were correct. Apparently, the small 12 ounce is now a medium which was not at all indicated on the sign, as the sign specifically shows the price for each size cup. Never have I seen a staff act so disrespectfully towards a customer, and we were polite, calm, and just wanted the matter to be resolved. Will never return to this place, and will make sure to mention them on my list of "places not to go to" on my blog. Definitely a place to pass on. read more
