New Territories Ice Cream — Restaurant in Fair Lawn

We've been coming to New Territories for years with the kids and they love these unique and decadent treats. When you're in the mood for a sweet snack, drop in - they'll have something for everyone.

New Territories is mainly known for its unique flavors of ice cream served atop Hong Kong style "bubble waffles". I'm very glad that some Asian-inspired flavors have become more accessible. Check these out: Thai Tea, matcha, ube crunch (a Filipino purple yam), "Like Tokyo Banana" (based on the Japanese banana cake), Vietnamese coffee, and "First Love" (with strawberry yakult). There's also more conventional flavors: vanilla and chocolate, as well as blueberry cheesecake and birthday cake. Since we went during the Fall, pumpkin was also on the roster. As a baseline, one scoop of ice cream is $4.95.

Of course, my kids like the more elaborate sundae-like options (as seen in the pics):

Build-your-own: waffle/croffle + choice of ice cream + 3 toppings ($8.95)

Prince Edward: waffle + vanilla ice cream + nutella + peanuts + gold sprinkles ($8.95)

Unicorn parade: milkshake with vanilla ice cream + fruity pebbles + marshmallow + pocky + caramel + glazed animal crackers ($11.95)

As for me, I found most of their ice creams overly sweet for my taste. I did not expect such sweetness from Thai tea or pumpkin, although ube seems more balanced. As mentioned, they do have other options which might suit the adult palate better. There are several coffee drinks - someday I'd like to try a latte made with hojicha (roasted green tea) or black sesame (has a peanutty flavor). Perhaps I'll try one of their various acai bowls. A "refresher" during the summer would be great: iced drinks made with lemonade, lychee, green tea or matcha.

Chips, water, soda and, thankfully, Lactaid pills are also available.

This little shop has a couple of tables towards the back. The service is always kind and prompt with orders.

New Territories is definitely worth a visit. Whether you drop by with the kids or on your own, you'll have a great time exploring these flavors and...

Known for their traditional, handcrafted Hong Kong bubble waffles, which are made with egg batter in a spherical shape and ice cream, New Territories, located off of a busy River Road in Fair Lawn, is definitely the spot for one’s sugar fix. My partner and I came this afternoon to attend Elite Event Summer of Sweet, thanks to Sara and the Yelp team. Greeted with a smile from the minute we stepped inside the sleek modern design interior as a repeat performance from a couple of years. The menu featured endless ice cream options and decided on Nutella Aça and Loco for Coco bowls and washed them down with the double lemon float (lemonade with lemon sorbet). The desserts and drinks were delicious, tasted authentic, fresh, true to their names, and photo-worthy. The staff working there, Abby, was friendly and the best part of the experience for us. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet the owner, Pete, but we know he is truly passionate about the business. Attention to detail and producing an excellent product, for which we can...

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! From the moment I walked into this cute little ice cream shop, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the owner is incredibly friendly, and the smell of freshly made bubble cones hits you in the best way possible.

Now, let’s talk about the ice cream, WOW. Creamy, rich, perfectly balanced flavors that clearly use high quality ingredients. I tried the [strawberry cheesecake and the biscoff cookie butter, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. You can tell everything is made with care and creativity. They also have a wide variety of unique and classic flavors, and even some fun seasonal specials.

Presentation was top-notch. Details matter! And he did not fail to deliver. He added pink sprinkles and an EDIBLE butterfly onto my ice cream . 😍😍😍🦋 was so dreamy. The portions are generous without being overwhelming. Its clear they love what they do here!

This place is a must for any dessert...
