Made a quick stop at this parlor to get some ice cream. Plenty of parking spots in front of the store. A lot of people were hanging out outside the store while having their ice cream. Inside the store, it was mainly the counter to order ice creams. They had 24 different flavors in the menu, with options for cups, waffles and cones. There were plenty of toppings available as well. We got the cotton candy flavor with chocolate sprinkles on top. There were multiple associates behind the counter. So we got order right away. The price was decent for the small cup, only $6. It was a lot of ice cream in the cup. We liked the taste of the ice cream. Sprinkles were good too. I just wish the store was little bit more interesting inside with better decor and some sitting space.
Cute local ice cream shop at Ridgewood NJ. The pained the building pink which is very appealing to kids. Parking lot in the front, convenient for quick stop by. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Fast service. We got a cotton candy ice cream with chocolate sprinkles ($6). It’s a big scoop. Flavor is good. Too sweet for me. No tables or seats inside. But I see many people just chatting and hanging out in the front and enjoying the ice cream.
What can I say - been coming here since I was young and the quality has not changed...in fact I think it's a bit better. I legit come once a week during the season. Yes there is a wait (sometimes the line is very long)...yes it is annoying BUT trust me - it's so worth the wait! Blueberry Pie is hands down my fav flavor! I'm adding a pic so you can see how good it is! Who ever i'm going with knows i'm going to have to try whatever they get and it's all so good but I always go with the blueberry pie for myself! WARNING - It is cash ONLY so make sure to bring your money - and they do have an ATM if you need to get cash but wanted to remind you all no credit cards. Now that I am writing this I want to go over and get some but it's closed for the season. I'm going to be stalking their website and social media page to see when it's opening. Seriously...THE BEST EVER!!!
