Wonderfully tasty ice cream and satisfying chocolate milkshake. In addition, staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming to the point of persuading me to accept a punch card which entails a free cup/cone of ice cream after 12 purchases. Big thumbs to this ice cream shop.
Wanted to get my mom out of the house, and decided to take her out for some ice cream, and she was not disappointed. We were immediately greeted by the friendly, masked staff. The shop was very clean, and cutely decorated. Tables were being disinfected and cleaned by one of the employees. The store was offering a special variety of flavors of hard ice cream for Christmas in July, hot cocoa, egg nog, grasshopper, etc. They also had a sign indicating their banana fosters flavor won Best in NJ for some category. My mother chose this as her ice cream selection, and was extremely pleased. She had a generously sized medium in a cup, and ate it all!! I had a medium ice cream soda made with hard ice cream. Yum!! I chose a flavor I have not seen before, chocolate cookies and cream! It was perfectly delicious! I love that they offered me the option of using just plain seltzer as one of my choices of soda. There is plenty of indoor seating, and some outdoor seating. From start to finish every moment of our interaction was friendly, professional, clean, and delicious!! I highly recommend adding this establishment to your ice cream stops. Ive already told the rest of my family to get there and check them out!
Great ice cream! Has a variety of classic and unique flavors, with good portions. A local favorite for sure.
Absolutely top tier, I went with some friends and didnt have high hopes because I have never had decent sugar free ice cream. Im honestly blown away, I was concerned they had mislabeled the bucket and I was going to have issues. They dont have a big selection of sugar free options but it doesnt matter when they do it this well. Hats off to whoever develops their flavors.
Trying to find some new soft serve places.... this place had good reviews... service was good...however the ice cream was just not up to par... I got a medium cup without topping for $5... the ice cream was too watery and not creamy... taste was kind of off too... I would recommend Carvel over this place..
First time here. Good selection. They don’t allow flavor tasting, but the flavors my group had were all great.
Love it. Always friendly staff great ice cream my daughter loves it as well
Ice cream is legit I loved it especially this nice lady with a cute personality hands down bet customer service
My favorite ice cream store, they have multiple flavors so you wont get bored eating the same limited flavors.They also have seasonal flavors which are delicious too.
Outdoor seating on the sidewalk and in the green across the street. Hard and soft ice cream.. Something for everyone!
Not good, not bad. The ice cream is a little icy and the ice cream to topping ratio is wack.
The staff was incredibly nice. The place is clean and ice cream is excellent. I needed to get an ice cream bday cake and didnt want to get the dull pre-made ones from carvel. I googled this place and the pre-made ice cream cakes there are superb and definitely gourmet, not dull. My new go to spot.
This is the definition of icecream for me. We are so lucky to have such a great family business in Cranford.
We love this place! We first came for the Dole Whip, the yummy, vegan soft serve sold in Disney World, because one of my kids is allergic to dairy and nuts and the other is allergic to just nuts. This was their first soft serve “ice cream” experience. The pineapple is so refreshing and the raspberry is perfectly tart. Go for a swirl of the two! My daughter also loves the lemon sorbet and the staff doesn’t think twice about changing gloves or getting a fresh scooper or sprinkles from the back. Lifelong customers, here!
Good ice cream everytime!
Excellent as always .. great ice cream :)
Nice staff great ice cream
December 2020: great selection and interesting flavors (e.g. gingerbread man flavor). A little pricey for ice cream but youll soon learn it was money well-spent on flavorful homemade ice cream. I once saw George Clooney in a baseball cap eating a tequila flavored vanilla bean ice cream.
Been going here forever. Hey Ralph, add some Vegan ice cream!!!
Awesome ice cream, clean an great customer service
Delicious homemade ice cream and incredible service!!!
This place was just awesome! Very clean and neat.. staff was polite and ice cream was yummy.. pretty decent prices too! Would definitely recommend them!
I wasn’t sure whether to give this a three or four stars, but I’ll go with four for now. Three stars because the ice cream actually gave me a headache right after - probably from all the sugar inside it. Four stars because the flavours were pretty good and calling to order and pickup was very efficient. Steer clear if you’re trying to be healthy because it does feel like you’re being hit with a giant sugar truck.
Cannoli ice cream is delicious!
Great ice cream
Choice of flavors, great service
Always top notch wish they were in Vegas as I just moved.
The best icecream in Union County! The owner is also really nice and so is his staff.
Good ice-cream
Amazing service and ice cream it has been doing well in this pandemic they have good preventive protection procedures and precautions for the covid-19 pandemic that is so much better than the other ice cream places Ive been to they have a award winning bananas foster ice cream flavour
Ralphs has the best homemade ice cream. We love going here!
When visiting downtown Cranford, this is the spot where you go for a sweet treat. The options here are plentiful. Everything from soft serve to your hard ice cream and everything in between. Many different flavors of hard ice cream to choose from. Service is friendly and quick. A must go!
Best hand made you can get. As for service, YOU GOT IT, the best.
This is a great local ice cream shop.Nice rotation of seasonal flavors.Has both soft and hard ice cream plus a bunch of cones and toppings.Generous serving size for the price.The Cookie Monster is a best bet.Also have ice cream cakes for any occasion.
Recently moved from cranford and we re really going to miss this place. High school/ college kids serving ice cream seemed genuine, very kind and eager to help, like many of the youth in this town. Great variety of flavors and killer ice cream cakes. That s ice cream cake, not a 3/4” ice cream topping over a birthday cake like most other places.
This place is worth the visit!!
When I am visiting in Cranford, and I want Ice Cream, this is where I go. While ice cream is OK, I would not call this the best ice cream place in NJ nor my favorite. I didnt find their banana ice cream that great, and I wish they had a dark chocolate peanut butter flavor.
Fabulous. Even better on National Ice Cream Day. Highly recommend!
Delicious ! And great customer service. Thank you!
Excellent ice cream!Really, I could stop there. Their bananas foster is what we tried the first time we went and it hooked us on the place. Yum!We’ve been going to this location for years. They have great flavors and ones that they invent and develop.Really nice people work here and it’s fun to go and sit in front of the store and chat.
Awesome ice cream! Great for anytime you want a sweet treat! The make your own ice cream sandwiches are not to be missed!
Chocolate cookies and cream & banana 🍌..
Best creamery in downtown Cranford. Really friendly staff, and a wide variety of flavors.. must visit..
Absolutely delicious. No fake flavors here. I had coconut cream.
Best ice cream around. Lots of different flavors. Great ice cream cakes!
Decent ice cream, WAY overpriced. I couldnt believe I was charged over $5 for a small vanilla soft serve cone.The only redeeming factor was the bubbly girl working the night we went in. I forget her name, but she was super friendly and outgoing!But next time if I want ice cream, Im going to the colonia dairy maid.
My wife insists on getting a small cup every time were downtown... even in mid December. Its easy to understand why. Theyre the best ice cream in the area.
Cookie Monster ice cream is fantastic!
Love this place and think it’s the best in the area. Flavor selection is great, very innovative, and menu has lots to offer. Ice cream tastes like high-quality ingredients are used and service has always been friendly. They have ice cream sandwiches and cakes ready to take home, as well as pre-packed pints. They also have a punch card with rewards after you go a certain amount of times- which is easy to do!
Arguably the best ice cream in the area.
Their ice creams are more on the sweet than fruity side (Im used sorbet being really fruity not sugary).
Amazing ice cream - summer love. Thank you Frank for excellent customer service!
Over the top servings; good service; layout can be re-designed
Well i went craving chocolate ice cream and there was a minimum of 10 using my card so I had to leave to find cash and come back. I got 1 scoop on a cone for almost $4 and the ice cream wasnt bad but was a little disappointed because I expected something alittle more unique or flavorful from this place. Probably wont be going again. Other than that it was a cute place. Service wasnt bad but not the best either.
Apple cider flavored ice cream!! Yummy! You got to try it.
All flavors are delicious and the owner is very nice. Home made ice cream sure to please any pallet. The cannoli ice cream is my favorite!
The gave me a good memory of an ice cream shop that used to be in my town that I held dear to me... they had new flavors every week and they were sooo delicious, it was a tiny place that sold homemade ice cream that held on point to their name, I had a medium Cookie Monster, and it surely pleasure my appetite, so far no ice cream parlor had held up with the one I used to as a kid.
Pretty typical Ice cream place. Good selection of hard Ice cream. Has some tables to sit at both indoor and outdoor
Best ice cream in the area - all homemade, and a great assortment of flavors. They also have tons of seasonal favors.
Good ice cream but very stingy, I paid almost $12 for a small and a medium and it was hardly anything to it
The best ice cream around. All is made in house. The staff and owner are always nice. They make flavors with local school contests.
Great home made ice cream. Always a long line but service is quick
One of the few places you can get he made ice cream. Amazing flavors!
Not cheap, but if you want to spend the money, good service & great ice cream and sundaes.
Really great ice cream. Lots of interesting seasonal flavors. Try root beer float!
The best in Union County.... How did the star ledger make them #2? SMH
Wow, their ice cream flavors are incredible! If I wouldnt have felt so guilty, I would have tried every flavor before buying. Reasonably priced, too.
The ice cream here is excellent! Try the seasonal flavors.
Service excellent. Great selection of various flavors
Great homemade ice cream but the true stars are the incredibly friendly staff!
Ice Cream was great and the staff was very nice. Try the ricotta fig flavor. Wow!!!
Great home made ice creams with plenty of choice. They come with a price but good quality.
Best ice cream in town. They make awesome birthday cakes too. The staff is very nice.
Their ice cream flavors are unique and delicious.
Wow! This is my second favorite ice cream shop in northern NJ. And 2nd place aint bad! Try the cannoli ice cream, it will knock your socks off!
Delicious homemade ice cream! Cant go wrong here if you are looking for a yummy cold treat!
Pistachio is back, my favorite flavor. All other flavors are also fabulous, always something seasonal like cinnamon crumb, pumpkin spice, holy cannoli and others. Best ice cream in any driveable range of Cranford.Flavor of the year ---- Pistachio
Pumkin oreo ice cream is amazing as is the entire sore
Award winning ice cream with a staff of kind locals
Our new favorite ice cream chocolate vanilla Oreo and chocolate dipped mini pretzels. Sweet and salty
We found this place and have been back twice within two weeks. Great ice cream.
Great Ice cream but they never have rum raisin.
Friendly service, great ice cream, and youve gotta love the flavors. Loved the toasted coconut in particular.
Ice cream is GOOD. Prices continue to rise however.
Great flavors. TASTY, DELICIOUS ICE CREAM. HOMEMADE
Many varieties to choose from, Almond coconut ice cream was too sweet for my taste but liked coffee ice cream!
Ralph and his staff are amazing and the ice cream is the best
Best ice cream place in town. Lots of quality flavors.
Im diabetic, would like it if they had more sugar free ice cream flavors...
Great selection of homemade ice creams. Unique flavors.
We live really close to this place, we go there almost everday in summer. Icecreams are delicious and icecream cakes ( big one) are really really good that I cant stop eating, I recommend everyone to buy icecream cales for birthday or another special occassions
Good customer service love their icecream.
Tasty ice cream cakes for any occasion.
Delicious. Waffle bowls are yummy
