Small shop right on the mall being hit hard by people looking for ice cream. One guy behind the counter but he was super efficient. Small seating area out front. We were here on Saturday 9.20.25. I am not the hugest fan of ice cream. I get it out maybe 1-2 times a year if that. I had a big chocolate craving (as per the usual) so I ordered two scoops of Death By Chocolate in a waffle cone. My friend ordered Chocolate Marshmallow in a cup. Mine was to die for. I loved every second of it. It was scrumptious and fresh. I will definitely return. read more

Uncle Charley's Ice Cream - Death By Chocolate In A Waffle Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Has anyone ever given a bad review to an ice cream shop???? Don't count on me to give one now. There are 48 flavors of hand dipped ice cream plus sundaes and soft serve in this small shop within a small strip mall on Washington Street. No, we didn't try every single one, although we would have loveeeeed too, but there were quite a few that were intriguing. We sampled a few flavors before settling on a scoop of the Blueberry & Cream and Black Raspberry Blast on a sugar cone. Not sure if it was 5 star ice cream, although I'm sure our kids would say so, but it was good ice cream. Fruity, flavorful and refreshing. On a warm summer day, it's just what the doctor ordered. We did have one observation though on our day there - the 2 gentlemen working behind the counter didn't seem like the most enthusiastic ice cream shop employees ever, not to say you need to be, but they were quite stoic in handing out ice cream to happy customers. At the end of the day, they were doing their jobs still, but maybe a smile would have helped considering the line of work. read more

I give it four stars, my husband gives it 5. Can't give 4.5 so 5 it is! I thought their moose tracks was great! We both did. You could tell there weren't a bunch of additives etc. it was very melty. We had some other ice creams in town as well and they just weren't this "real". It's a cute little place in the alley. The guys weren't rude but weren't necessarily as friendly as some of the other shops. That's why I wanted to give 4. He'd likely go back, I wouldn't as they didn't have enough flavors that I could have (gluten free). read more

Been here a couple of times and it's a staple at Washington street mall. I got the vanilla peanut butter swirl and my mom got vanilla. Both were very good. It's cool they make so many flavors since it's homemade ice cream read more

5/19/24 This is a go to Icecream business my friend has enjoyed for a long time. She checked to make sure they were open and- tadaaaaa- they were!! I've been to Washington Street many times and never stopped by for Icecream here. My experienced friend recommended the homemade waffle cone/ if u get two scoops you get to try two flavors. This Icecream was huge as it should be for 9$. I opted for monster cookie and s'mores. Monster cookie was a vanilla type base that seemed to have a lot of peanut butter stuff. I normally don't like peanut butter in Icecream but this was really good. The s'mores was delicious and I enjoyed the chocolate pieces. This Icecream is smooth, thick, creamy, dense and has a great mouth feel. I recommend Uncle Charlie's. Enjoy in season, I believe this place is closed off season. There are a couple chairs too and a cool Icecream bench you can sit in too. Service was friendly and quick. Icecream was our breakfast that day- mmmm!! read more

After dinner me and my family stopped into uncle Charlie's for ice cream and they did not disappoint. the ice cream was delicious and were met with amazing and friendly customer service.

If I could give them a zero I would. Service sucks. They seem to only service who they like. My 9 yr old asked for a sample of the Cinnabon flavor and the girl working today 8/26/25 at 1:40 pm ignored him. Also kept giving him a dirty look like he wasn't meant to be there. The older gentleman there also ignored us as well. I'll never visit your establishment nor recommend it. read more

Of course it's homemade ice cream. This is a popular spot for the cream. The staff here are quick on their feet. There were 6 staff members behind the counter. Making it do what it do. They make sure you get what you ask for. The ice cream tastes fresh. The shop was clean and the aroma will put a smile on your face. If you're ever in the neighborhood. GET SOME!!!!! read more

you have to come here. you. have. to. come. here. We've been at cape may for 2 days. We've been at this ice cream shop 3 times. We've had the root beer italian ice, the pistachio + apple swirl + m&m cone combination and the java chip + coconut almond joy + m&m cone combination. The price has always been surprisingly well priced and the taste has always been out of this world. read more

Uncle Charlie's rarely disappoints. Tom's of flavors and many unique to try. Not enough space to. Are Them all but they works fast to get through a large crowd so do not be discord there is a long line as... It's long for a good reason. It moves very fast. Much better than the supporting libtard Ben and Jerry's. Only knock is prices are high but that's just Bidenomics at work. read more

You got me with "sugar free ice cream" because I really wanted some dessert but I'm on a keto diet and sugar is bad. Two choices in sugar free and I liked both options but I went with Butter Pecan instead of Moose Tracks. Sure they have all sorts of "regular" ice cream - nearly 40 other flavors and also sorbet and sherbet and low fat yogurt. But this was me. Friendly service from a young lady who scooped my ice cream and took my money. Yes, this is sugar free ice cream. It has a slightly different texture but it's still delicious. There are some seats outside and of course plenty of seats along the Washington Street pedestrian mall. [Review 18223 overall - 99 in New Jersey - 1745 of 2022.] read more

It's raining and cold, but I wanted ice cream. There was a crowd at Uncle Charley's so I figured it must be good. Ordered the chocolate peanut butter and salted caramel coffee. Both were excellent. Absolutely recommend this shop. And they take credit cards, thank goodness. There's open metered parking all over on this ugly night. I paid through ParkMobile, but I doubt they are enforcing. Glad I found this highlight to finish my day! read more

The maple walnut ice cream was delish! As was the chocolate chip cookie dough - the vanilla was so creamy! Didn't love however that there was a customer directed line that some other customers and the ice cream scoopers didn't exactly follow so I got cut off twice. It's a large space and can get crowded so would love to see and appreciate for the business to create cones or floor signs to help direct and follow a line. read more

Stopped by here after strolling on the beach. Cash only. Line was short and good service. Variety of ice cream flavors to choose from. I got the moose track ice cream on a waffle cone and it was delicious! Plenty of mini Reese's cup in the ice cream. Very nice treat on a hot summer day! read more

After a 15 min wait, and after my ice cream is scooped and handed to me, I learn it's "cash only". C'mon! I barely use credit cards anymore, let alone cash. (Apple Pay or electronic chip is my preferred payment, and most honest merchants in 2021 now do it that way). Note to the management: Cash only!?! You are broadcasting to the public that you are a TAX CHEAT. I hope the IRS nabs you. read more

I gave my Uncle Charley a Charley Horse. It was the least I could do. You don't want to know what the most I could do would be. I'm not really a fan. The line was too long in season and when I was in Cape May off-season they only had three freezer-hardened flavors left. Pretty expensive. I tried a couple of them and neither one was particularly good. She told me that all the best flavours are available in the summer and that's why they sold out sooner. Funny that they keep the ice cream shop open into Fall just to sell the batches they already made, even when they're not fresh at all, but without making more batches of the popular stuff. These ones they were selling at normal high prices did not taste fresh at all. Leftovers from quite a while ago I think. So I can't give them a 3 because of this business practice. However their Egg Waffle Shop next door is excellent, as is your mother. read more

This review and the three stars has less to do with the ice cream product than with their lack of COVID-safety in the experience getting ice cream. We wanted to get ice cream after our delicious dinner at Taco Caballito Tequileria and our waitress recommended we head over to the Washington Mall for Uncle Charley's Ice Cream. We miraculously found easy parking and headed over to the little alley in chi Uncle Charley's is located. Despite the sign on the outside to the store which says "we serve one family at a time, all other please wait outside" - it was clear there were many unrelated families inside the ice cream store, not socially distanced, ordering their ice cream cones. It didn't feel safe frankly for us to go in (although we did - and tried to get three ice creams for the kids as quickly as possible). The ice cream was very good, but the lack of COVID safety at Uncle Charley's made the experience much less sweet. read more

My wife and I are here on vacation and we stopped in since we'd never tried this place before. I had rum raisin and my wife had mint chocolate chip. Both were delicious. The counter people are friendly and their "single scoop" is big. Highly recommend. read more

It was recommended I stop by here on my first trip to Cape May to get the bubble waffle with ice cream. I was so sad that they don't sell the bubble waffles during the week (only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). I will have to return to Cape May someday, on a weekend, to update this review!! The mint chocolate chip was super fresh, creamy and flavorful. The death by chocolate was chocolate ice cream, chocolate chips and chocolate brownie bites - also very creamy and fresh but could have used more brownie. I missed the flavor a bit on that. FYI - this photo was taken moments before I spilt it all over my shirt hehe. GET NAPKINS, EAT QUICK & ENJOY !! read more

My friend and I decided to head down to Cape May to see the sunset and witness some cool shooting stars at night. My trip could not be completed without visiting an ice cream shop in lovely Cape May, ice cream is always a MUST for me. This was the first time I tried Uncle Charley's and I'm happy I did. Although parking could be a little tough sometimes, the yummy ice cream makes it worth it lol. This was during the week of Labor Day when we went, they were only taking 1-2 families at a time I believe, so it took a little longer to get to our ice cream. I got my usual chocolate and strawberry and sweet mother of hazelnuts! It was delicious! The strawberry taste was amazing and the chocolate flavor is making me want to drive down again at this very moment just to get a scoop lol. It was a great choice, I'm glad we stopped by and get to try another great ice cream shop. It sucks that I live 2+ hours away, otherwise, they'll be seeing me at least 3-4 times a week. read more

Uncle Charley's is the real deal. Don't waste your money on the other ice cream places on the 'mall' if you are looking for home made ice cream. Lots of flavors. I got Java Chip and Black Raspberry Blast (basically black raspberry with chocolate chunks in it). The ice cream was a bit soft, so you have to eat it relatively quickly. Others in our party got coconut (very good), death by chocolate (could have been even more chocolaty, but still good), maple nut (why would anyone bother to have walnuts in their ice cream, but this was not my choice), mint chocolate chip (excellent, although green, and true mint chocolate chip should not be green, that is just food coloring). read more

Homemade ice cream sign caught my eyes right after I finished 2 scoops of ice team from ocean front. Taste: Chocolate coffee is good. Maple walnuts needs more walnuts! Some of them are too colorful for me. Price: Pricier. Customer service: Ok. No smile:) Parking lot: Street. read more

Cheap, refreshing and a must in Cape May. The service is quick and welcoming. It might get a little crowded though! We got the pistachio; very creamy but had a lot of the nuts, which was lucky that I liked. The raspberry was sweet and cherry was sour. Nice! read more

Uncle Charley's Ice Cream - Pistachio, Raspberry, Cherry. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Great place to stop for ice cream after dinner. My family felt it was good enough and the price was right to come here TWICE during our trip to Cape May. They have a great selection of ice cream and can pretty much make almost any milkshake you want. Pricing, compared to some other ice cream shops is very favorable for what you get. A party of four ordering different ice creams will run just over $20 for good quality ice cream. First visit was not crowded, good spacing for Covid, etc. Second visit was a bit more chaotic, with a long line, but they moved through it fast and for the most part, patrons we're adhering to the mask rules & spacing. If you're feeling like an after dinner treat is in the cards, give this place a try!! read more

Tried this place in Cape May as it had the longest line (compared to Kohr's and Ben and Jerry's) and was homemade with 48 supposed hand dipped flavors. The line moved very quickly and they had a lot of servers behind the counter which was great. I ordered the Java Chip and Vanilla Peanut Butter in a waffle cone. The java chip was nothing special but the vanilla peanut butter was GREAT. HIGHLY recommend. Disappointed though because of the price ($8!) and the fact the server gave me a waffle cone with 2 significant cracks. Once I successfully ate the broken cone without any casualties the bottom half of the cone wasn't filled with ice cream! Very disappointing end as that's the best part. read more

What a huge range of ice creams! You have your classics, like vanilla, chocolate, and mint, and then you have your unique flavors. And not bad for the price of $4-6 for a small or large. I had three flavors: cold brew caramel, coconut almond joy, and maple walnut. The maple flavor was subtle with the crunch of the walnut. But the favorite to me was the coconut almond joy. Yum! The portions were big and not bad for the price. Enjoy having ice cream sitting on the bench on a warm, sunny day! read more
