    Baby size and small soft vanilla!
    Cara S.

    Polar Cub is hands-down my favorite ice cream shop. I used to come here often as a kid with my family, after dinner, on a hot summer night. Their soft vanilla and soft chocolate are must-tries, and taste even better when topped with some of polar cub's classic peanut crunch. I'm not usually a basic vanilla or chocolate kind of person when it comes to ice cream, but polar cub does these two exceptionally well with their soft serve. Polar cub also has seasonal feature flavors which include new and unique soft ice cream flavors. The hard ice cream is also great, and I definitely recommend the black raspberry. There is no indoor space in polar cub, so it is counter service only. Although there is always a line out the front, polar cub is always very fast. Once you grab your cone you can sit outside on one of their many park benches.

    My family and I have been coming here for years. The ice cream and service never disappoints. The place is small and doesn't have a lot of parking, but it's still a nice spot.

    Recommended by a friend, today brought me to Polar Cub. Famous in the area for having the best ice cream. Actually witnessed a debate over whether this place or Cliff's is the best. I couldn't chime in since I'd never been to Polar Cub. But I have now and I'm HANDS DOWN siding with Polar Cub. It's thick, holds it's own on a hot Summer day, the sprinkles were good and the cone wasn't stale. The service is quick and friendly and there's sufficient seating.

    This is a great local gem! I got the flurry of vanilla soft serve with Heath bar mixed in. Portions were bigger than i expected and prices fair. Staff was attentive and quick. Loved the outdoor seating around the corner, and will definitely be coming back.

    Best ice cream place. Cash only. Parking is hit or miss. Good pricing and good sizing

    This place is a summertime staple. The ice cream is delicious. The line can be long at busy times of day, but it's worth it. Cash only.

    I never really understood the hype around polar cub but once they reopened this year, I gave it another shot, and became completely converted. Their soft serve is SO creamy and smooth that it feels unreal in your mouth. You also can't beat their prices -- a small cup of small serve is already super generous and only about $3. I also love how they do featured flavors every month! I tried the pistachio soft serve last month and it was super unique. It wasn't my favorite flavor but the texture was creamy and amazing. I recently tried their salted caramel soft serve and peanut butter soft serve (both featured flavors in August 2020), and they were delicious! The peanut butter soft serve is seriously something I could eat everyday. I've been converting the rest of my family to Polar Cub and can't wait to go back

    How can you make soft-serve ice cream something special? You'll have to ask them. Amazing every time. And what you see in the picture is a medium. It is Americana incarnate. Lots of families hanging out eating ice cream at a walk up ice cream stand. What could be more fun and wholesome than that. We moved away for a while and this is one of the things we are looking forward to the most when we are back.

Not only do they offer hard ice cream flavors (a pretty big selection) but they offer soft serve. This place also has frozen yogurt that they can make from their multiple soft serve flavors. I really like how they accept Venmo as well. I also like how they had a bench you could sit at. Not sure how many people actually sit outside this place to eat ice cream but the gesture felt welcoming. I ended up getting the birthday cake and the chocolate hazelnut in a cup. They gave a pretty big quantity which I was very happy about. However, I did feel like the flavors were basic. I didn't feel like it came straight from the farm or whatever. I was definitely slightly disappointed. Maybe I'll give their frozen yogurt a try next time and it won't disappoint.

Service was a touch slow but it was worth the wait. Can't wait to come back.

    Just Chill is such a gem in downtown Clinton! If you're looking for frozen yogurt or ice cream in…read moreClinton, NJ, this is so much more than your typical ice cream stop. It feels like a little boutique frozen dessert shop, with plenty of rotating flavors, fun toppings, seasonal specials, and tons of options beyond a basic scoop or cone. There's a huge selection of both soft serve frozen yogurt and hard ice cream. The classic chocolate and vanilla soft serve twist was so yummy, and the pumpkin soft serve was to die for! I can't wait to come back and try the coconut and cake batter soft serve. I also have my eye on some of their hard ice cream flavors, like Strawberry Cheesecake, S'Mores, Sea Salt Caramel Truffle, and Carrot Cake...the list goes on. And then there are the toppings! Cookie dough, brownies, Nutella, hot fudge, popping boba, candies, sauces, and so much more. You can keep it simple or basically turn your cup into an entire dessert creation. Definitely try their milkshakes, too! The Pumpkin S'mores Cheesecake Milkshake is out of this world. It's made with pumpkin ice cream, marshmallow, chocolate sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and whipped cream, and basically tastes like every good fall dessert rolled into one. It's rich, creamy, decadent, and absolutely worth trying while it's in season. It's also a great spot if you're looking for a lighter or dietary-friendly sweet treat, with plenty of nonfat frozen yogurt and gluten-free choices alongside all the more indulgent desserts. The space itself is one of the highlights. It's SO cute inside. Mint green walls, exposed brick, a Just Chill neon sign against the greenery wall, and such a bright, cheerful, modern feel. It feels trendy and thoughtfully designed while still being incredibly family-friendly. There's plenty of indoor seating, a bathroom, a cozy window seating area, and even a little kids' corner with books and games. There's outdoor seating as well, which makes it such a nice stop while walking around historic downtown Clinton. The owners are also incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell how enthusiastic they are about the shop and how much they genuinely care about creating a place people want to come back to. That makes such a difference with a local, family-owned business. Another thing I didn't realize until recently is that Just Chill makes custom ice cream cakes and pies! You can choose your flavors and customize them with different toppings, sauces, candies, and more. Such a fun option for birthdays and celebrations. Between the frozen yogurt, hard ice cream, seasonal flavors, toppings, specialty milkshakes, custom cakes, and adorable atmosphere, Just Chill feels like a destination for dessert rather than somewhere you just stop for a scoop. Such a fun spot on Main Street and definitely one of my new favorite places for something sweet in Clinton and Hunterdon County. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more!

Due to circumstances beyond my control, we arrived at noon on Thursday, breakfast ended at 11am and so we pivoted to lunch items that included a Boars Head cheesesteak, chips and pickle plus a really tasty cheeseburger . As we were leaving, my husband decided on a large chocolate peanut butter milkshake which he deemed awesome. (Thanks Todd for stepping in and making one) We stopped at our pre planned list of farm stands and headed home. Very next day, Friday, up at dawn to get a few chores out of the way so we could head out to Gronsky's for the day #2 breakfast deadline! I prefer sitting at the counter and watching their magician, Tyler, assemble the food for orders, crack open the eggs, drop the pancake batter in the proper corner and keep all meats aligned for the plates. He's the king of that kitchen and each one of those servers is the queen doing the hustle, bustle, slide to the left, back up and move forward like square dancers on the move. From the Taylor ham, provolone and fried egg sandwich on that FRESH Kaiser roll to the omelette with those delicious home fries and my PEACH PANCAKE . . . . all of it was their special take on breakfast served their way. Almost 50 years, folks! Prices are absolutely reasonable for how the food is prepared and presented, quality ingredients cooked according to diners' specifications. What more can you ask for? We'll be back for September POTM!!

I usually check their website ahead of time to see what seasonal cupcakes they have before visiting, I saw those and rush over here. P.s. please bring back the Versailles Cupcake from Summer '25! That raspberry filling is heaven sent, and part of the reason why I came by to try the Lemon raspberry flavor! Even with the rush, the staff was just as friendly as always.
