McCools Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

Don’t listen to the negative reviews. This is our families’ favorite summer treat in Summit. Staff is extremely accommodating even to our indecisive preschooler. Great selection, portions and service.

The ice cream is just ok — run of the mill ice cream (not like homemade Zita’s in New Providence). Lots of variety though and always great service. And location is in downtown summit near the train station so very convenient.

Terrible. Staff was as friendly as a concentration camp guard. Went in at 8 (they close at 9) and they acted like I kicked their puppy. Sorry you cleaned up an hour before you close. Not my fault.
Had a milk shake. Medium is the size of a small. Paid 6 dollars. Little pricy seeing that it was basically chocolate milk not a shake when it came out of the blender.
Other than that. The place is clean and they do have a great selection. I think if I went and someone friendly was there I would have had a better experience.

Amazing icecream and decent service, clean bathroom, cute store, seating

Very disappointed with this place. We came in with high expectations, however, these sadly were not at all met. The ice cream is not homemade, it is Hershey’s ice cream and quite frankly it didn’t taste like it. It tasted like store brand ice cream from a carton-​basically frozen water with color. We both ordered a shake, the size small which on the sign is 12 ounces, and were served that. Our «shake» was ice cream melted into a cup. However, we were charged double what we should have been, the staff insisting they were correct. Apparently, the small 12 ounce is now a medium which was not at all indicated on the sign, as the sign specifically shows the price for each size cup. Never have I seen a staff act so disrespectfully towards a customer, and we were polite, calm, and just wanted the matter to be resolved. Will never return to this place, and will make sure to mention them on my list of «places not to go to» on my blog. Definitely a place to pass on.

An abundance of Hershey’s brand ice creams from which to choose.
The staff is hit and miss. Some of them are super friendly and attentive. Some are completely disinterested. Typical high school /​college kids.
The ice cream itself is quite good. They’re doing a high volume business here, so the ice cream turns over pretty quickly and while it’s not made in-​house, it is usually quite fresh.
One issue I have is the hours. Why close a dessert shop at 9 –9:30 PM? With so many surrounding restaurants, why not give us until 10 – 10:30? I’d love to dine at a local restaurant and then stop by afterwards. Unfortunately, all too often I just miss that 9 PM close time. Fri/​Sat/​Sun in the summertime especially. Step it up and give us that extra hour!

McCool’s on beechwood rd in summit, nj. I ordered a sundae, person put chocolate sauce on it even though i didn’t ask for it. No longer carry dulce de leche ice cream.
Then, much to my dismay, there was mold on the banana. I threw it out. I’ll go somewhere else.

Perhaps one of the best flavors of ice cream I’ve ever had — Cappuccino Crunch. A fantastic concoction of coffee ice cream, dark chocolate fudge swirls, and toffee chunks.
I was blown away the minute this hit the lips, and I knew it was a ⁵⁄₅. The service was very good — she even made a recommendation to avoid adding a syrup topping to my ice cream because it would «take away from the flavor.» She was spot-​on, because having the ice cream alone was a heavenly experience.

Best ice-​cream parlor around, without question. 30+ flavor to choose from, sundaes, milkshakes, etc, and they also have «yo-​blends,» which are basically cups of froyo with added ingredients of your choice fully blended into it.
Don’t waste your time going anywhere else if your in Madison and in the mood for dessert.

An independently run ice cream shop is a rare find these days, especially one with Hershey’s ice cream (and great service)! Yum. I’ve tried both the Orange Blossom (think creamsicle) and Peanut Butter Swirl/​Chunk flavor, and they were both superb. My fiancé always goes for the shakes, which he says are fantastic. All the toppings are super tempting, so maybe next time we’re in town we’ll get crazy.

A little pricey, but they have a large amount of options. I had the cappuccino crunch and thee strawberry cheesecake. Both were good, but I was not especially blown away by any particular aspect of the ice cream.

Some of the yummiest ice cream concoctions around! I don’t keep a lot of sweets in the house but ice cream/​gelato is the exception. My husband has a rule which dictates his flavor selections: the base flavor must be chocolate, mint, coffee or peanut butter. And this place has no shortage of options. The Cappucino Crunch may be the single best flavor in the shop. I love the yogurt blends. Low fat frozen yogurt in vanilla, chocolate or coffee with so many options… my fave is a double dose of peppermint patties in the vanilla yogurt. This place has something for everyone. Whether you like sorbet, good olé fashion plain ice cream, crazy flavors chock full of stuff, yogurt etc… you will find some delicious here. Choices are endless. Flavors are fresh. Service is super friendly. Prices are just like every other specialty ice cream shop… you get what you pay for fresh ice cream!
We love the new Summit location. Worth every ounce of fat and every extra minute of cardio to work off the calories. Now if they could just open one in Livingston!
PS Withheld the fifth star because gelato is our favorite and they don’t have it here. Angelato in Florham Park is still number one our local fave (but this a very very close second, maybe even equal) and there are a few select places in the city and of course in Italy that would garner the five star review!

Delicious soft serve ice cream and so child friendly (that’s a big deal for me). They even have child size tables and chairs.
We’re trying an ice cream cake next week for my daughter’s 3^rd birthday. They’re custom-​making it. Very cool.
My only complaint is the décor. It needs some more energy,

Recently stopped in here after dinner. Got a yo-​blend (yogurt blend) that was delicious! Nice store with lots of flavors and options to choose from. Staff was nice. Guess this is a new location. I would definitely go back!
