Jabal Creamery — Attraction in Paterson

I recently visited Jabal Creamery, a family owned café, and was thoroughly impressed by both the desserts and the warm, inviting atmosphere. The café features eye catching wall art that blends Middle Eastern themes with bright, contemporary design, creating a unique and cozy environment.

I tried their tres leches cake and mini pancakes with fresh fruits and handmade ice cream, and both exceeded my expectations. The tres leches was beautifully presented, with a caramel glaze that added a rich layer of sweetness to the moist cake beneath. It was the perfect balance of creamy and decadent.

As for the mini pancakes, they were delightfully fluffy and served with fresh fruits like bananas, which paired excellently with the handmade ice cream. The ice cream itself was clearly a standout creamy, flavorful, and made inhouse, it brought a homemade touch that made the dessert extra special.

The family’s craftsmanship is clear in both the presentation and the flavor of the desserts. Whether you’re looking for a quick sweet fix or a place to sit back and enjoy a leisurely treat, Jabal Creamery delivers a delicious and heartwarming experience.

Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth looking for a family owned cafe with a fresh twist and a cool, welcoming atmosphere!

---- Edited Felt obligated to leave another review I came back and its even better than before. Make sure you try their Acai Bowl its to die for really healthy...

This place is a hidden gem! My wife and I walked into Jabal Creamery and immediately loved the ambiance -- clean, modern, and welcoming. It was fast-paced, but the young man working was super kind and attentive.

When we asked for a recommendation, he pointed to a chocolate flavor -- we said yes without even knowing what it was. At the end, he casually told us it was Nutella, and we were shocked! It was rich, creamy, and way better than we expected. No artificial taste -- just indulgent and satisfying.

We got lucky finding a parking spot, but even if it takes a few extra minutes, this place is totally worth it.

We sat at one of the tables and took our time enjoying the music, the art on the walls, and the happy energy of other families around us enjoying their time and ice cream. It felt joyful and relaxed -- a place where you can slow down for a moment and just enjoy.

We'll definitely be back to try...

What you see in the picture is a lump of something that couldn't get soft like ice cream until even after 12 hours. I ordered one scoop each of Kunafa, Dulce De Leche, and their viral Dubai flavor in a medium size cup. It cost me whopping 16 dollars. Excellent service by the sweet talking server, but, it's not worth 16 dollars by any stretch of imagination. Their online menu doesn't show prices. Their in-store shoes only 8 dollars for 3-scoop ice cream. There is no mention of 16 dollar anywhere in store or online. Great ambience and great service, but sneaky pricing. We have been to the best of the best ice cream places. None so expensive even in upscale areas. And this Paterson. Three was no way I could add 18% tip he flipped the card reader towards me for. The maximum worth for this cup...
