The Towne Scoop

My boyfriend and I love coming here; there are so many great flavors to choose from and all at a good price. Adorable shop with lots of old memorabilia and that old timey feel. Great staff, too.

I thought this place was cute. It was deceivingly spacious on the inside. I thought they made their ice cream in house but they dont. No matter, some flavors they did make, like the pumpkin ice cream. It was not too sweet, just right. I enjoyed the fact that it wasn’t heavy. Had it on top of a sugar cone. Btw they put some serious healthy scoops atop my cone. And it was relatively inexpensive. I enjoyed my ice cream.

The icecream is good here! I saw this place on a web page for the best icecream in Nj. Even better was the nice service I received from the lady Lori behind the counter. Can’t wait to buy an icecream cake from them on my bday in Oct.
I would suggest that they learn about gluten free tho because there are many people who may come in looking for info and it seems some of the staff was unsure about the ingredients that make something gf or not.
Prices were pretty common for Nj icecream.

Small indoors and no seating inside.
Suggestion: make more varieties of icecream. Maybe something with peanut butter cups?

After taking a stroll in Verona Park, we were in the mood for ice cream. I am always trusting my good old Unilocal app to always direct me in the right direction. Thank goodness I did. I search for nearest ice cream shop and The Towne Scoop came up.
When you enter the small ice cream shop it feels as if you where transported into the past. The décor of the 1950’s all around. Fresh homemade ice cream selections. I had a hard dipped vanilla and fudge ice cream. It was totally out of this world. Although it was a hard dipped ice cream it was soft and creamy in your mouth. My girlfriend had a banana hard dipped ice cream which was also amazing. At one point I kept eating hers because it was so good. I thought that there was nothing better than Ben & Jerry’s but The Towne Scoop is far better!

Love the little hometown feel of this place. The ice cream is delicious!

Tonight after a wonderful yoga session, I decided I needed a treat. To steal Rachel Ray’s line, yum-​o! Cute little store with limited but yummy flavors. I sampled mint choc but went with a strawberry cone. Hit the spot! One scoop was huge! They also sell pre-​made cakes and ice cream sammys. Across the street from beautiful Verona Park and a municipal parking lot very close by with ample parking.

Came here after dinner one night looking for dessert and was it a nice treat! The service was really nice. The place was rather small and they didn’t have a huge selection of flavors… maybe because it was Winter? Anywoo, the lady behind the counter was courteous enough to let me know if they did or didn’t have certain flavors. She said she had a few more options in the back. I was looking for anything really, while my other half was interested in something nutty; almond, pistachio, something of that sort. They didn’t carry either but the lady said they would be able to add walnuts to any of the flavors; they did however had Butter Pecan.
In the end I had picked the Cookie Monster (blue dyed vanilla with fudge chunks) and the Salted Caramel. I got a junior cup of Cookie Dough for the other half. Less than $ 6 for a junior size and a small with two flavors is a thumbs up in my book, and everything tasted great! You get that it’s made locally. I guess my only deduction to this place that the selection of flavors is somewhat of a snooze.

My favorite ice cream place. It’s only a 20 min walk from my house. My favorites are Confetti Cake Batter and Cookie Monster (Yes, it’s blue, hence the name). Great birthday cakes. If you’re into 1950’s theme, this is for you! The only problem with this place is the parking.

The Towne Scoop won’t let you down. What it’s lacking in ambience* and flavor variety** is more than made up for when jamming your face full of their ice cream. This is a no nonsense place with room for maybe eight to comfortably wait and really the only thing that matters is that the ice cream is very good. The service is friendly, quick and attentive (as I would be if I could sample ice cream all day long) and the prices are good for the portions.
If you are not looking to run a mile or seven after you go to the Towne Scoop, order a kids size or share a small in a cup. As Americanized sizes go, the small is probably an extra large in another country, weighing in at more than two scoops. It’s my fault though that I am too embarrassed to order a kids size, even with my kids, so I tend to succumb to the small cup that leaves me immobile for a short time, but happy.

* Who needs ambience in an old time ice cream parlor anyway? I mean if the ice cream is really, really good and it comes out of the back of a random van or perhaps a tiny old shop that has not been changed much in ages, who cares? Not me, throw another scoop on there.
**I don’t require a rotating bonanza of thought provoking flavor combinations or a Top Chef inspired gastronomic experiment into bacon ice cream, however, all the flavors are the same every day. No wait, coconut and banana switch sometimes — all of the other flavors stay the same, every day. I liked rainbow sherbet when I was a kid, but really — every day? You can’t throw me something like a Cherry Garcia once in a while?

We have had multiple birthday cakes made by Towne Scoop, and they are THE BEST! The cakes always meet rave reviews, and is always fresh. They are the only local outfit that will customize cakes to not have chocolate, including the crunchies (one daughter is allergic), and is reasonably priced. The online order form is easy and straightforward, and the will put any picture on the cake that you send them. ABSOLUTELY the BEST!

Best kept secret in the area. Fresh homemade ice cream served with an old style feel. The ice cream cakes here are the best I’ve had.

No complaints here. A variety of flavored ice cream– confetti cake batter was good! (Real cake chunks).
They also had great lemon italian ice.
Frozen yogurt, haven’t tried the red velvet flavor yet but it sounds good.
They also make cakes etc.
