Most people like ice cream. I’m fairly confident stating that as a fact. The sweet treat is a dessert staple, especially when the weather gets warm. Delicious and refreshing, there’s a flavor for everyone. Lucky for us New Jerseyans, there’s no shortage of ice cream in the Garden State. We’ve got dozens of top-rated shops and that will be well worth the effort to check them out. This is why we’ve crafted an ice cream road trip that covers some of the best ice cream in New Jersey.
Road trips are designed to be manageable to drive, which is why this weekend trip doesn’t include the entire state. However, we’d be more than happy to cover Northern and Central New Jersey in a future road trip. Are you ready? Rev your engines and let’s go! Check out the map below or click here for directions.

Best Ice Cream In New Jersey May 09, 2020 Marisa Roman What is the most famous ice cream shop in New Jersey? There are so many wonderfully delicious ice cream shops in New Jersey, it’s hard to choose just one as the ultimate winner. Since the taste of ice cream can be subjective to the person eating, finding the best of the best can be hard. But, in terms of more popular, there may be a clear winner. Holsten’s Ice Cream in Bloomfield, New Jersey has a ton of high ratings from visitors who claim this shop to be the most popular in the state. Celebrating over 75 years in business, visiting this sweets shop isn’t to be missed. Where can I find the best desserts in New Jersey? Even if ice cream isn’t really your thing, there are still plenty of other desserts to try throughout the state. For instance, Palazzone 1960 in New Jersey has been around for half a century and serves up some truly delicious Italian sweets. It’s very likely that you haven’t had pastries quite like this before. Cakes, pastries, chocolate ganache—this is the place to indulge. Can I visit any drive-thru ice cream parlors in New Jersey? Looking for a way to satisfy your sweet tooth but not have to leave your car? If so, we recommend visiting BrainFreeze in Milford, which is celebrating its ninth year in business and offering takeout ice cream in New Jersey. Snag yourself a fresh ice cream cookie sandwich or a simple scoop on a cone for their drive-thru options.
