Monmouth County Ice Cream Shop Named Best In New Jersey
The top honor goes to Nicholas Creamery with locations in Fair Haven, Atlantic Highlands, Tinton Falls, Long Branch, Middletown, and Wall.
Remember when they had the crumb cake ice cream and used real pieces of crumb cake from Mueller’s Bakery in Bay Head.
I know a lot of people are hoping that comes back!
Here’s what Eat This, Not That had to say about their top pick:
“After conquering the local restaurant world, earning acclaim for their restaurant Nicholas Barrel & Roost, Nicholas and Melissa Harary spun off their success with Nicholas Creamery, a shop dedicated to America’s favorite chilly dessert. While working in restaurants, Nicholas honed his recipes and techniques for small-batch ice cream made from local ingredients at their seasonal peak. Some of their always-available flavors include Tahitian Vanilla, Mint Chocolate Chunk, and Brown Sugar Cookie Dough, while rotators include Strawberry Nutella, Mango Sticky Rice, and Devil’s Food Cake.”
