Is there anything better than treating the kids (and yourself?!) to an ice cream cone on a hot summer day? We can't think of one.
We have a lot of great locally-owned ice cream shops in the Summit/Short Hills/SOMA area where we can indulge in yummy goodness. Here are 5 of our favorite places for ice cream in and around Union, Essex, and Morris counties.
Zita's Homemade Ice Cream
1790 Springfield Ave, New Providence NJ
What we love: Homemade ice cream with a changing, seasonal menu - this is our go-to for a treat night!
Magic Fountain
1081 Stuyvesant Ave, Union NJ
498 Morris Ave, Summit NJ
What we love: With locations in both Union and Summit, you can't go wrong with a stop at Magic Fountain. Everyone loves the Magic Blends - I'm partial to the milkshakes! Make sure you order online before you go.
ZRolls
452 Springfield Ave, Summit NJ
What we love: The most unique on this list, ZRolls takes their homemade ice creams, "irons" them out, and then rolls them up to make neat little bundles with super creative topping options. Definitely an experience!
Churned
Millburn NJ
What we love: OK, so this one isn't an actual ice cream "shop," but I'm including it here because they offer homemade, small batch ice creams for local pickup! So instead of an ice cream outing, make it a sundae night at home!
Mark and Julie's Homemade Ice Cream
476 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange NJ
What we love: Over 52 flavors of homemade ice cream at this West Orange classic.
