Hub's Bubble Waffle was perfectly crispy and soft in all the right places, and my brown sugar Earl Grey boba tasted freshly brewed with nice bouncy pearls.

NOTES/TIPS: **Parking lots are limited but doable and free on the weekends. **5 or so tables for 2 inside. **They're on DoorDash. **If you want other flavors and larger sizes of their crepe cakes like matcha, black sesame, strawberry, etc., you need to call and order at least 2 days ahead.

They have multiple coffee options, and I really appreciated that the coffee actually had a strong, bold coffee flavor. I only wish I could've tried more of their desserts because so many of them looked amazing! Unfortunately, they were already almost sold out by around 3 PM (and this was on a weekday!) so definitely come earlier if you want the full selection! We tried a few desserts and really enjoyed everything. The éclair was a tiny bit on the sweeter side for me, but still good. The pistachio macaron was probably one of my favorites because it had such a strong pistachio flavor, which I love. It was soft with a great texture while still holding its shape perfectly. I also really enjoyed the Black Forest cake - the sponge was soft and moist with plenty of chocolate shavings and wasn't overly heavy. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was so lovely, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They were super proactive with cleaning and helping and made us feel very welcome. I had such a good time here and will definitely be back! Maybe earlier next time so I can try even more of the desserts!

I've been to a lot of Dunkin' locations and the only difference from location to location is the attitude and effort of the folks behind the counter. It's obvious to me that some people aren't cut out for jobs that require customer service skills and they all seem to work at this Dunkin' location on Columbia Turnpike in Florham Park. I visit this location every so often when I'm in Florham Park and my usual dining companion's mother wants ice cream. It seems I'm always standing awkwardly at the counter waiting to order for several minutes while the staff argues with each other before one of them takes my order and makes me feel like an inconvenience to them. The dining area is typically filthy with tables that haven't been cleaned from previous diners and a single garbage receptacle in the restaurant that's overflowing. I'll be back but probably not by my choice.

They serve Hershey's ice cream and it is not a mom and pop shop as other reviewers noted. They have a large selection of ice cream flavors and cakes but the taste is okay, nothing memorable. There are usually long lines after school and on hot days. The employees can have attitudes depending on who you get! read more

I love Beenie's ice cream! I have been visiting the ice cream shop for several years now…read more Beenie's is located near the Deloitte office building in downtown Morristown. Parking is tricky but there is a paid public lot across the street. Inside, there is a cute little seating area with picnic benches and some Adirondack chairs. Near the seating, there is a water cooler and plastic cups. Being located in the heart of Morristown, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the ice cream is 100% homemade and sourced with local, seasonal ingredients. I love seeing all of the creative flavors and there are always so many different options to choose from. In the refrigerated section, there are pints and cakes available to take to-go. Monthly/seasonal flavors are offered as well. You can even create a custom ice cream flavor for a special occasion. Service is also very friendly and happy to help, even when they are very busy. They are very involved in the local community and source ingredients from surrounding local businesses. I am part of a local running club in town and each year they collaborate on a special flavor called "Neon Swirl". I can't wait for my next trip back to Beenie's to try more amazing flavor creations.

I went for the vanilla ice cream with cherries. It was a generous portion for a single scoop and more than enough. I assume that their ice cream is homemade, it tastes that good!

Overall, this is a very well-run and welcoming ice cream establishment owned and operated by caring small business owners. I highly recommend it!

There is plenty of parking behind the store. In case you are hungry, the Dover Grill next door is also open. They have awesome burgers, fries and amazing comfort food. The owners have been there forever and their ice cream is the best in Morris County. They train the most professional servers who scoop with a smile. The lines may get long at times, but people are super patient because the reward is worth it. Stop in for a bit of joy, you deserve it!
