Causeway Ice Cream

This review only gets 4 stars because I have yet to try their hard ice cream. Also this will be short and sweet (no pun intended). I have never had better soft serve anywhere in my life. I believe it is made in house. Do not let the surrounding area deter you from going. It was all but wiped out following Hurricane Sandy. The prices are awesome and the service is good as well. Bonus: there is a chick that works there who is built like a Hooters girl. Even my girlfriend enjoys the view.

Not sure how this place gets four stars. The other reviewers must have never had good quality homemade ice cream. Ordered a small cup with butter pecan and peanut butter and a sundae with choc choc chip. Can’t go wrong with that right? WRONG! The small definitely was just that. Smallest scoops I’ve ever seen! But thats not the main reason it gets one star. A good place can pull off small servings if they have good ice cream, such as the bent spoon in Princeton. They get one star because of the chunks of ice throughout both flavors and the tasteless poor quality of what was served to me. I was shocked at how bad it was, especially after reading previous reviews. The sundae was ok because it was covered in hot fudge and whipped cream which masked the ice cream horror. I brought my small cup back to the counter and asked for plain chocolate instead, hoping the popularity of the flavor might ensure it would be fresh and not freezer burned. Nope! Chunks of ice in that too. When I walked away I swear I heard the girl inside exclaim that the butter pecan was sugar free and that’s why there’s ice in it but I could be wrong. Wouldn’t be surprised though sure tastes like it! It would be nice if they let their customers know what they were being served! Bottom line… the ice cream was absolutely terrible! Stay far away. If you want amazing homemade I’ve cream go to one of the Hoffman’s locations down the shore. It’s worth the drive!

Tucked away in the Hurricane-​Sandy ravaged hamlet of South River, this is the classic, traditional Jersey ice cream place that is a slice of Americana.
Homemade, real ice cream, fresh tasty flavors, a wide variety and served with a big smile, what more do ya need!

Great Local Gem
Home made ice cream, delicious!

Frozen bananas is all I got to say. Friendly service great treats make a great combination. There milk shakes aren’t bad either. Nice local joint to support.

Causeway ice cream is fantastic. They have a huge selection of hard ice cream that is all homemade. I’m not a big fan of ice-​cream cones, but their homemade waffle cones are to die for. They always serve them fresh and it shows. On top of the delicious treats, the owner is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He’s always there and always wanting to talk to customers and get feedback on how he can improve things. He recognizes his regulars and treats them well. Overall, this is a great ice cream place and a total hidden gem as far as I’m concerned!
