Most depressing soft serve I've ever seen in my life. It was genuinely a centimeter tall. If I get a soft serve in a cone shouldn't it be towering ???? But noooooooooo. The workers are sweet btw. Cash only makes me mad though. read more

FYI. Warning. If using Maps to automatically give you directions, it's way off. Better off entering it in Waze or Google Maps. Plus the address given for this little location on Yelp is entirely wrong. read more

Such a cute spot. Had a vanilla soft serve with chocolate crunchies and rainbow sprinkles on a sugar cone. There's plenty of outdoor seating. I definitely want to go back and try the ices! read more

The Lighthouse - Vanilla soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

Good soft serve and very fast service. The cup sizes have a large variation for people who don't want too much ice cream. Does not take cards read more

So disappointing that they only accept cash. Being that the area is a summer destination it's uncommon for an ice cream spot to only accept cash, especially being right across the street from the beach. I can only imagine how much business they loose because of this. I only had $5 cash on me and had to disappoint my daughter by not being able to get her a milkshake. I couldn't even enjoy having icrecream with my daughter after a day at the beach because I was only able to get her a small cup of ice cream. If it hadn't been for her I would haven't even given this place my money. I will never visit this place again. read more

Wow!! What a classic New Jersey shore town staple. The lighthouse has been a prominent part of all of my childhood beach days. Their famous dessert is truly the perfect way to end a day in the sun. Cold and refreshing, delicious and unique, the lighthouse truly captures the essence of perfection in a cup. Any flavor is great depending on your mood!!! Such friendly staff and enjoyable outdoor eating space. Will probably make a stop later today!! read more

The Lighthouse - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

See all

The reason why this is getting three stars instead of five is because at 2 locations, long branch and red bank, I went in to get flavors that were advertised on Instagram (cantaloupe and pumpkin). Day one I went to this establishment for cantaloupe as it was just advertised on Instagram about 20 minutes before. I got there and they didn't have it. A few days later I went to lighthouse and asked for pumpkin, again they didn't have it. The ice cream is good but don't say you have flavors that you don't have. read more

Great hot dog and cheese fries. There should be more places like this in the world (or at least in ny). We got our food quickly and had a lovely time eating on the roof deck looking over ocean Ave and the beach. Saw kids and senior citizens both enjoying their grub. I'd go back. read more

Great Italian ices and ice cream! Really cheap. Really tasty -- the ices and ice cream have a nice quality to them (not too rich, but still pretty solid) -- all in the $3-6 range. Just stopped by here really fast for a dessert after visiting the beach. The staff was really friendly and super fast; didn't have to wait more than 30 seconds even with a crowd around. Cute little tables with umbrellas around to sit and nom if you like as well. read more

I can't wait to go home to visit my family so I can make a trip to the Lighthouse this summer. I always get a cup with soft serve vanilla with blue ices. With every spoonful, I ask myself "Which is better, the vanilla or the ices?" and I just can't decide. It is the creamiest soft serve you will ever taste. The ices are far superior to any others and others taste terrible to me in comparison. on a side note: don't ever come here late on a saturday night----the place will be a mob scene read more

Great ice cream and Italian ice. Giving them 1 star because I went there with my 3 year old who really needed to go #1 and the manager said no. I understand for adults or older teens/ kids.. it's not a public restroom.. I wouldn't have asked for it for myself.. but he is three. They saw him doing the legs crossed pee dance. An exception wouldn't have caused anyone any harm, especially when we were buying ice cream and not just using the rest room and leaving. read more

The ices are phenomenal, perfect for those who don't do milk!! They have tons of flavors, my favorite being peanut butter or Oreo!! This location is directly across from a small playground and amphitheater, perfect for being children to or hanging out as a teen!! Would always recommend, even craving in the middle of winter!! read more

The best ice cream and ices on the jersey shore. Delicious ices flavors from creamy to fruity. Soft serve is my favorite. And the sprinkles oh my god the sprinkles. They are so fresh and by far the best sprinkles anywhere lol read more

This is a great place to experience the real taste of summer. I love the original ice flavors more than the newer ones and their soft ice cream is wonderful. I tried their new light ice cream tonight and it was also fantastic. There is a terrific playground across the street for young families or grandchildren. It makes a complete summer outing. read more

Waited 15 minutes in line with only 2 people in front of us. Counter was covered with at least 50 bugs. Milkshake tasted like straight up plastic. Will never go back. read more

The ice is better than the national chains. The peanut butter ice is a favorite.

A delicious summer treat. I got chocolate and peanut butter in a cup and it was just what the doctor ordered! The line seemed long, but the staff is great and it goes by really quickly. read more

Lighthouse is a summer must-have. Trademark of the real jersey shore ! Great variety of Italian ices and cream. Recommend pistachio ice or the Reese's hurricane !! read more

I love the chocolate swirl and peanut butter ice. It does not get better than that after a loooong day on the beach. This is a summer must- have and delicious treat. I can't wait for them to open for the season! read more

Love love LOVE this place. As someone who's allergic to dairy, it's amazing to find a place that serves not only traditional Italian ice favors like cherry, lemon, and blue raspberry, but also favors like peanut butter, chocolate, and cookies and cream. There's also a Lighthouse in Point Pleasant Beach that's amazing too. The Lighthouse is consistently a summer highlight for my friends, family, and I. read more

I have been going to the Belmar and Long Branch Lighthouses for years, and the soft vanilla ice cream is soooo good that I am afraid to order any other delights...I was there a few evenings ago and ordered my usual soft vanilla with rainbow sprinkles... and the girl had started making it in a cup instead of a cone. I had stopped her and requested a cone ( NO BIG DEAL) .. She was very very nice... One of her co-workers who had nothing to do with my transaction very rudely and loudly for that matter said, 'Really?" Customer service is as important as wonderful ice cream. . I was very put off by her comment. I left with my CUP of ice cream, it was delicious as usual, and have a bad taste in my mouth left by some smart ass teenager. I am positive that I was not even a blip on the radar of crappy customers that you will have to deal with ..I wasn't even YOUR customer. .. read more

Amazing Italian ice, which comes in so many flavors and the ice cream is always perfectly creamy.

The employs are always nice. The ice cream is really good. Most of the ices are really good. I gave it 4 stars because a few of the ice flavors aren't very good. Blueberry is my favorite ice flavor and theirs isn't good. read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream and Italian ice! I got the Oreo soft ice cream and t literally tasted like someone took Oreo crumbs and stuff them into ice cream! Absolutely wonderful! read more
