good place to eat ice cream. and sit down and relax there is a lot of history in springers . ask the new owners about springers . i sure they will love to tell you about springers home made ice cream lance read more

I'd wait in a line that went all the way out to the beach if it meant I got to eat Blue One ice cream and scrape my blue-dyed tongue and feel completely sick! It's a canon experience and an important part of all my Stone Harbor visits. I love cookie dough and this ice cream is my cookie dream. Gobs of oreos and cookie dough and blue ass ice cream. I got a small cone and it was just SO much ice cream. They load you up and send you on your way. Don't be misled by the line. It moves very fast and they have like 10 folks scooping at any given time, on top of an ice cream hostess that answers questions before you approach the counter. Great process for this SH staple. Can't wait until I return next summer for more treats and blue food. Thanks Springers! read more

Springer's Homemade Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Definitely the best Ice Cream in Stone Harbor....but let me tell you I think this might be my favorite Ice Cream PERIOD. What do they do right?? Everything. Great staff that provides friendly and efficient service (despite the very long line that does move quickly). A long list of flavors including many inventive and unique ones. I like the classics so I went with a half chocolate marshmallow half chocolate overload ....it overloaded my tastebuds!! In a world where Ice cream shops are trying to get too fancy with their flavors (think many of the shops in Philly) it's refreshing and a treat to go to a classic ice cream parlors that really checks all the boxes. Some nice benches outside to enjoy your ice cream, or worth taking it to go and enjoying it as you walk around the town. read more

Springer's Homemade Ice Cream - Springers sign while waiting in line outside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Springer's is my favorite ice cream spot in NJ, hands down. I always make an effort to stop here while in Cape May County. The recipes for some of their ice cream flavors remain unchanged from the originals used over fifty years ago. My favorites are the Vanilla, Pistachio, and Coffee, always on a waffles cone. read more

Forced to try it again on Saturday- This time we got coffee chip - and AGAIN completely tasteless with a sawdust aftertaste. I would bet, on a blind test - tasters would not be able to tell you what flavor they are eating. Will someone please tell me what flavor would be worth a try ? read more

Been coming here for 45 years, which is how old I am you can't find better ice cream! Be prepared to wait in line! There is nothing like real ice cream! We recommend the chocolate peanut butter cup! read more

Prepare for a long line, regardless of day, unless you go super early. Fantastic ice cream and love Black Raspberry flavor, but WHEN are we going to see Orange -Pineapple again????? Arguably the best flavor. PLEASE BRING IT BACK! read more

Overall the ice cream was delicious. And the selection was plentiful. I would go back for that reason alone but i would temper my order. For the sugar cone choice, the ratio of ice cream to cone made it almost unbearable to enjoy. I had to rush licking it despite making a mess the ice cream running down my hand. No place to clean up or use the bathroom. I had to walk around the block to the water tower to find a restroom to clean and use the facilities. I would have posted a picture but my hands were too messy to pull my phone out. The line was long but it moved fast. Not a problem. read more

"Definitely the beat ice cream down the Shore" I've loved this place since I was a kid, and it is hasn't changed a bit. Fresh cream, sugar, flavor and love is all they add. This is the definition of homemade Americana ice cream What's good - Mint chocolate chip is one of the best flavors along with Moreo - So many choices of flavors including seasonal ones - A small is a big enough serving for two! - Still a bargain after inflation! What could be better - Wish it was open all year round You have to try it if you are anywhere near here. Just make sure you are prepared to stand in line or come during the day! read more

Ice cream was delicious and so nice to have homemade ice cream instead of a brand you can buy in the store. The ice cream was really creamy and good. I had the almond amaretto. It was great! You can sample anything before you choose. They have a good variety of ice cream. Only a couple of tables out front and the one we sat at needed to be cleaned pretty bad but that's the only negative. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Such good ice cream! My favorite thing to order is a kiddie double- you get to try two flavors and it's still a big portion. read more

This spot is simply the best of the best! Ice cream is homemade and just amazing! You will wait in line in the evening but it goes fast and it's well worth it. read more

Always amazing! Long line but moves quickly. Flavors are amazingly delicious and there are quite a bit to choose from!

Chocolate overload , banana fudge, chocolate chip , peanut butter banana.... All absolutely fabulous! I have been here in the past and remember being unimpressed, tried to visit a few times over the years but didn't feel like waiting in the long lines ... I wish I had waited! This ice cream is as good as it gets anywhere... super creamy , interesting flavors and a-lot of hype . Springers definitely lived up to its reputation as it was difficult to chose a flavor but they were all amazing. I would say the chocolate overload was the best and banana fudge was a close second. Do yourself a favor and wait in the long line , you will be happy! read more

Springer's Homemade Ice Cream - a woman and a man behind the counter - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Classic | Creamy | Options Classic - Springer's is a staple of life on the 7-mile island. There are effectively two institutions when it comes to ice cream, and this is the one in Stone Harbor. It is the quintessential old-school ice cream spot. You show up and when you get into the building you will be called to the front and will order from the big board. You have to go whether you have little ones, you are a teenager, or you are visiting family - you have to check out Springers. Traditional - They have traditional scoop ice cream here. Springer's has a set of staple flavors and a few seasonal flavors. Take your time whenever you consume because you will have a STRONG brain freeze if you rush. You can look up their flavors online. So, while you are in line definitely look them over because there are typically 25+ flavors on the menu. Options - You have a variety of options for toppings at the Springer's. You can add jimmies (sprinkles - for people not from the northeast), M & Ms, Oreos, gummy worms, etc. Pro Tip - There is limited parking. Therefore plan on walking over. You have to go during the day in the summer. If you go after 6 pm, there will be a line of 50+ people. Pro Tip - When in doubt - Get the BLUE THING. IT'S a calorie overload but well worth it. read more

Best ice cream I've ever had!! Great flavor selections, some of them unique to the shop. The line was long but moved quickly. Will return daily during our trip :) read more

A 50 year tradition if in Stone Harbor, they don't have table service any more which is sad... our favorite thing to do with Grandkids and our friends read more

This place has a line out the door every day and for good reason! They have so many flavors to choose from and everything tastes so good! They absolutely deserve all the hype! Blueberry cheesecake is my favorite, but drunken cherry and coffee are up there too! read more

~Monica's T.A.S.T.E. Test~ Taste: I've had countless Springer's flavors and each one has been amazing. They give you samples when you are deciding which one is perfect for you which only enhances the experience. This day we got a split cup of milk and cookies and peppermint which was the most amazing combination. Sweet cookies with a minty finish, so great! Atmosphere: The inside has a small seating area in the back, but I wouldn't count on being able to sit down unless its winter. Summers can have 30 minute lines that wrap around the block, but in Stone Harbor its a must to check off the box. Service: Super fast and friendly, these servers are efficient. They know the flavors well. Tab: Kind of a hefty price tag, but considering its homemade hard scoop ice cream in a tourist town, its worth the splurge. Just remember its cash only. Extra wow factor: They have so many flavors. Something for everyone! Does it pass the T.A.S.T.E test? Yes! I am a lifetime patron and just converted Nathan as well! read more

I hadn't been to Springer's in about 7 years. Yet when I went the other night it ran as smoothly as always. There is always a line, but they keep the line moving. We had the chocolate marshmallow and cotton candy ice cream. Both were delicious. There was plenty of space outside to eat it on a bench. read more

Great tasting and lots of varieties! Great for the whole family! Even have dairy free options for me!

Loved the vibes and delicious ice cream! They run a smooth operation on busy summer nights :)

The line was pretty crazy long at nearly 10pm on a Saturday night. But it moved fast. Really fast. We had just hit it wrong, when we left it was half that length. The place is run like a well-oiled machine. They have a system to get you in and out quickly. And it's cash only. Despite the assembly line process, i took time to taste many flavors before deciding on banana peanut butter in a kiddy cup with a sugar cone. The ice cream was amazing and the cone crisp and fresh. Everything I read about this place being the best ice cream is true. read more

Springer's Homemade Ice Cream - The line is long but moves fast! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

This business is closed until sometime in 2024. Their hours on Yelp are not updated, says they're open! This is unfortunate as many of us end up driving all the way to the business, only to find out they're shut down. read more

I couldn't wait to go to Springer's Ice Cream after seeing them make a few best of NJ ice cream lists. My expectations were very high and I LOVE ice cream. After pulling up the flavors from a posted QR code I was disappointed that the only coffee related flavor was sugar free. So I picked chocolate Oreo. Boy was I disappointed. It had an odd or off taste with very little Oreos. I almost forgot there was supposed to be Oreos in it. Springers had an outdoor window to place your order where everyone kept their proper social distance but the pick up window could potentially be crowded. I paid $4.50 for the fairly small cup with no toppings. I'd chose to go somewhere else. read more

I enjoy the delicious ice-cream here at Springer's but hate hate HATE cash only. I don't see them changing that ever. Why should they?! They have lines out the wazoo at night & for that very reason I go in the afternoon or early evening. I always get The Blue One- it used to be called Cookie Monster but they got in trouble for using that name. I get a single dip in a cookie cone. Only on vacation am I crazy enough to spend nearly 6$ on just one ice-cream cone. It's WORTH IT!! The kids at the counter are very helpful. To me, I'm 50-so everyone is a "kid". . They have to be doing something right, they've have been around since prohibition! We asked where the ice-cream is made and were told on site. I was very curious due to the high volume and abundant flavors. I don't know how they do it- but they do!! read more

I think it's the only homemade ice cream store in stone harbor so the line is always insane during the summer hours. But the ice cream is just ok - would try the Avalon ice cream stores before returning to this one. read more

Springers has the best ice cream I've ever tasted in my entire life! They also have a variety of different flavors, that you can mix & match! Thank me later read more

Easy to find down from 98th Street, it's within reach of a parking lot and plenty of metered parking. There's an ATM on-site and one at Wawa to absolve the cash only debacle quickly. If a debate still brews, treat them to a dish of Emotionally Nuts, while you are busy sampling from the variety of other classic and unique dairy flavors. Ice and sorbet makes up the nondairy list, would be cool to see more than ice and sorbet. Maybe something with a coconut base? Or a non dairy lavender ice cream? K, back for the dairy readers... there's some flavors (like birthday cake) which are seemingly popular, but you're welcome to sample at your leisure until your big decision. Worried you'll tie up the line? They run like a well-oiled machine here. On a busy late Sunday evening, we watched as everyone was served timely and happily as the line kept moving smoothly even meandering around a few Instagrammers caught in That Moment. Sigh! read more

Bomb ice cream! Great friendly staff. Amazing assortment of flavors. Huge servings. The negative reviews are hilarious. Made by psychopaths for sure. So not listen to the nay sayers. This place is legit. read more

We've been going to Springer's for years. A lot of reviewers have noted that you can't come to Stone Harbor or Avalon without a trip to Springer's. That's it: It's obligatory, practically a local law. And you won't be disappointed, ever. I've had many flavors. Peach is a favorite. So is peanut butter cup, which I had today. Middle of the day seems like a good time to go. We were there the other night and the line was a block long. People getting their end of season fix. Of course, it was Sunday night on a Labor Day weekend. Anyway, great service from people who really know their stuff. A bit pricey, but you won't regret it. read more

I can never give Springers less than 5 stars. Being honest I only ever eat one flavor at Springers. I don't think I have ever had anything else but the Teaberry ice cream. Love it The lines are long in the evening and night. It's crowded and all the things you hear about the lines are true. It's a shore staple and I would have it no other way. They offer many different flavors and all seem to be a hit. I don't think you will be disappointed read more

OMG, this ice cream is amazing!!! I even had a banana split with three different scoops. Sugar overload for sure, but it was worth it!

Profit over Customers Would not allow a child to use bathroom. Good to know who you are and what you really are all about. Making the decision to be open in a beach town serving food to children and then after waiting in a long line not allowing the child to use the bathroom makes your customers have a terrible experience. This was supposed to be a memory with my child just like when I went. Instead we ran all over Stone Harbor trying to find a bathroom. His ice cream melted before he could eat it. Nice way to treat your customers. And your ice cream is overpriced and flavorless. It is un American to serve homemade ice cream to children and refuse to allow your paying families to use a bathroom. I mean really come on. How much money do you need to take from families on vacation while not treating them nicely? And my child knew it was wrong and mean. read more

We came here on here trip to Wildwood because I wanted to kind of get out of the area and try someplace new. Springer's homemade ice cream had a line at even 4 o'clock. However you can definitely tell that they take and care and making sure that there is covid regulations in place for their customers.You have to be 6 feet apart in the lines and you can only order one window and they drop it off in another one. They definitely have an assortment of flavors you look at the flavors when you get up there because there is no other signage that they had to display with having that day. I ordered the chocolate overload ice cream sundae and I thought it was just OK I think I need a little bit more seltzer because ice cream is pretty melted. You can definitely tell the ice cream is homemade but I think it needs to be a little bit harder. However, I would come back again. read more

Can't miss spot if you're in Stone Harbor or honestly any place on the Jersey Shore. Heard such good things about Springer's and it did not disappoint! Drove over half an hour just to try it and would drive those lengths to get it again. I ordered Moreo and Vanilla in a waffle cone and both were great and tasted amazing paired together. HIGHLY recommend Moreo!! The portions were great and the servers were all friendly. There's not really a clear line inside which was kind of confusing so just make eye contact with an available server and you'll be set! There is table seating inside and plenty of benches outside to enjoy your ice cream. Just a heads up there is no bathroom inside. The closest one is at their public bathrooms about a block around the corner near the water tower (the Wawa next door doesn't have a bathroom either) read more
