it has amazing ice cream flavors with many different options to choose from! The workers are super nice and work very hard all day. Penguins ice cream is truly an incredible place with all of the kids artwork! read more

I have tried nearly every ice creamery within a 10-15 minute drive of Morristown and Penguin's Ice Cream is my absolute favorite! They have incredible homemade ice cream that is velvety and full of flavor, delicious homemade Italian ice and sherbets, and many different take home options including edible cookie dough. I always get a milkshake with cookies and cream ice cream and hot fudge mixed in. My husband loves their Swedish fish Italian ice. And I love that they top their creations with a Swedish fish. read more

Since we are in the area often we decided to stop by for some after dinner ice cream. Lots of flavor selections. Small eat in area (bar stool-ish seating). Super friendly staff. They even have a challenge - ask for it when you go in. Worth the calories and the stop in! read more

The absolute best strawberry ice cream around!!! Penguin is the best and an absolute staple

10/10 cotton candy ice cream is genuinely the best thing I've ever had. The workers were super sweet however, there were some five year olds unattended which disturbed my visit a tad bit. So I kicked them. Hard. read more

The service was great so no complaints there. The ice cream tasted way too artificial and also too sugary. We didn't finish and threw half of it out. We were excited and tried 4 flavors but it was a consistent theme for us. read more

Amazing and really cute place. I had the oatmeal raisin. Lots of different flavors. Very original!

Adorable ice cream parlor in downtown Bernardsville. Each ice cream comes with a Swedish fish -- because what penguin doesn't love their fish! Love that touch and the cute theme. read more

The ice cream shop is located in a lovely area which is great to walk around while you enjoy. The shop is small and the staff is a bit slow (young people and not 100% paying attention to who is on line or who is next), but the quality of the ice cream is great and the prices are reasonable. They have refrigerators with cakes, cupcakes, and to go options, too. I liked that they're open until 10pm on weekends. read more

From cow to cone in 4 days! That's what they claim at Penguin Ice Cream where they use fresh New Jersey dairy to make their own ice cream. While I can not attest for the "four day" claim, what I can tell you is that Penguin Ice Cream is simply the best in the area and why there is always a line. read more

I came here when i was looking for an ice cream shop while house sitting for my sister in bedminster. This place had some good icecream. The worst part about this place is parking but you can find a spot on the street. The lot next to the building is for the apartments behind and there are signs saying they will tow. They had a good selection of flavors and the staff was really friendly. If you live local and haven't check out this spot you should stop by. read more

Excellent ice cream shop! The staff is always friendly and the ice cream is absolutely amazing! My son has life threatening food allergies and Penguin made him a wonderful allergy safe ice cream cake for his birthday. My guests said it was the best ice cream cake they've ever had. Thank you Penguin! read more

Simply unbelievable ice cream. I'm very particular about my ice cream and this is about the best I have ever had. It is a small, unassuming place a block off the beaten path so you have to look for it a bit. First off, we were waited on by two exceedingly pleasant young men (High School if I had to guess). They have a large variety of very good looking flavors and none of that fru-fru stuff you sometimes get at places trying to be too fancy for their own good. It's ice cream; you don't need to complicate matters. The ice cream is extraordinarily rich and creamy. We got two scoops in a cup, which was pretty small but once we got into it we realized it was an optical illusion. Plenty of ice cream. And as it is so rich, two scoops is plenty. I can't say enough about it. I would run out of adjectives long before I could do it justice. Just make sure you make the drive and try it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Luke bubnowski is bad at ice cream and it didn't taste that good.but overall the ice cream war bussin

The ice cream was good, light and creamy but not much chunk. I wouldn't not regularly drive the 1/2 hour down to Bernardville but if I was in the area I wouldn't be upset about coming back. Just needs more chunk read more

I got the coffee oreo ice cream and it was delicious! It tasted very creamy and I liked that the oreo chunks were soft. I also thought the Swedish fish topping was awesome. I've never seen that at other ice cream places! There's limited seating which isn't an issue during the colder seasons and off peak hours. But I can imagine during the warmer months you'd have to eat your ice cream outside. There's very limited street parking near the store. Definitely try to grab a spot if you can outside the train station. read more

Delicious ice cream! Great flavor selection. Awesome board that shows all the allergens in particular flavors. The boys that work there - Andrew, Leo and a Jack were so sweet, helpful and friendly. Even the music is good! If we lived closer, we would be here every day. Nothing even remotely negative to say about Penguin Ice Cream... Keep it up! read more

Many times you can go somewhere and the draw to it being a great place to go is dulled by the people working there. this is one of those places. My wife was made fun of and for the most part the employees just stood laughing and talking to each other. Great ice cream but I would never go back nor would I recommend it. read more

I had the chocolate peanut butter in a waffle cone 2 scoops and it was good down to the last bite.

Love their flurries and milks shakes. Favorite spot in town to get dessert. Owner is nice and sweet

We love this local spot! Even in quarantine, the service is amazing and the ice cream is delicious!

I love this local spot - it feels nice supporting a local business during these unprecedented times. I've grown up coming to Penguin after going to the movies, in the summer with friends, on the way home from work (it's right next to the train station!) and I even had my first date here when I was around 16. The servings are usually small - it's about 11 bucks for two medium-sized ice creams but it's a cute place with delicious flavors, so treat yourself! read more

4 1/2 s - Found this place on Pete Genovese's list of best ice cream places. I absolutely loved there ginger snap flavor! It was the perfect balance of creamy and dense to make a delicious ice cream! read more

Penguin Ice Cream - Ginger Snap Flavor - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bernardsville, New Jersey

Such a cute local shop. So many delicious flavors to choose from and you gotta love the Swedish Fish that comes on top of each treat!

I felt the need to update my review after another recent visit here the other day. I commend the ownership here for switching over to their own home made ice cream...but it does not come close to the quality and flavor they had been offering when they initially launched. I can't bring myself to visit here anymore which is sad, considering how great the customer service and ownership are. The ice cream is not flavorful or creamy at all. It's basically like buying from the grocery store but at a much higher price point. I would strongly encourage the ownership to take some time to invest into their product a bit more. I would love to give it another chance. read more

Really good homemade ice cream and hands down the best counter service anywhere! The owner does an excellent job training the high school and college kids on the art of excellent customer service which is rare experience these days from adults and teens. Even on a busy night, the service is fast and efficient. read more

Great little ice cream place with creamy goodness and friendly service. So glad to have stumbled upon this place especially since I love ice cream. It's been challenging having to be away from home so much lately, but as the sign in their shop says.. "Ice cream makes everything better". Indeed! Tried the coffee Oreo and cherry vanilla bean. Both were good but I ended up going with cherry since it was kinda late. I'll definitely be back again... even when winter comes. read more

Delicious ice cream particularly the vanilla chocolate chip and the cookie sandwiches!!

If you want homemade ice cream and cakes, and the best atmosphere for families, this little hidden gem is perfect for you! The owners take enormous pride in their business and it shows! read more

The ice cream at this place is homemade and really delicious! There is a variety of flavors such as double chocolate, espressos, sweet cream, orange sorbet, and other original flavors. I ordered the Annie's Apple Pie flavor and espresso with chocolate chips and neither were overly sweet! To top it off, there is a Swedish fish in every cup that they give you which is really adorable! There is a small parking lot at the back of the store and also street parking so stopping by is very easy. Overall, I highly recommend coming to this place for some yummy ice cream and try to go for the Sundae Challenger Challenge! read more

This ice cream place was delicious! They had a wide variety of flavors and their staff is super nice. It was $1 more for a larger size and their starting price was like $3.50 or a bit less. The place gets really crowded but definitely worth the wait! Parking in the area is a bit rough, but if you circle around long enough, hopefully you'll be in luck. They gave everyone a free swedish fish which was a great touch! read more

I assumed this place would be a generic small-town ice cream parlor. My friends told me it had great ice cream, but when it comes down to it, all ice cream is great. So when we entered the place, I wasn't expected the world. But you know what I got? A huge scoop of world on a fresh waffle cone. The ice cream at Penguin is amazing. I got "Maine Muddy Bean Boots," which was a delicate vanilla ice cream with soft, smooth caramel and chewy chunks of brownie. The whole thing was a dream come true, on a cone. The owner was extremely friendly and welcomed us all with a smile. Fun feature: they stick a swedish fish on the top of your ice cream (penguins eat fish, "Penguin Ice Cream," you get the idea). The lines are long in the summer, but the Maine-imported ice cream is 167% worth the wait. read more

Great new spot! Just what we needed in B'ville an old school ice cream shop. 2 adults 2 kids under 10 bucks, great value! Another local business that deserves our support.. read more

I'm an 11 year old, girl and i love the penguin!!!!!!!!!!!! The penguin is delightful, I just love their ice cream and who ever thought of having a sweetish fish on top. Their Ice cream is so yummy, like roll on the floor good. Delicious flavors like: Maine lobster tracks which is vanilla with a caramel swirl and peanut butter cups dyed red or muddy boots which is the same vanilla with a fudge swirl and brownie bites. They also have their Frogurt which is frozen yogurt hahaha frogurt I love that word. They have sundaes, shakes, and everything yummy. I RECOMMEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM... TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I work right around the corner from here and have had the opportunity to try their ice creams on a few occasions. I love their butter pecan, so creamy and delicious, as well as their plain vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. Both were outstanding. And the cutest part, on top of the small vanilla sundae, instead of a cherry in the whipped cream, it had a red swedish fish candy! read more
