When summer arrived, the thing I looked forward to most was walking to get Lemon ice from the little “shack” down the ‘Berg. They were a perfect mixture of sweet and tart and hit the spot every single time. I would make many trips there throughout each summer, often bringing friends with me. In adulthood, I introduced MANY out of town friends and family, all of whom stated they had never had any better! Now, every time I have a spoonful, the taste brings me straight back to my childhood.

The texture is spot on: smooth, not gritty, and it melts just right on your tongue. You can tell this is a family-run spot with real love in every scoop. Friendly service, nostalgic vibes, and seriously the best Italian ice I’ve had in Jersey. Perfectly located in the heart of Metuchen - Beats going to Elizabeth 😬
Don’t walk — RUN. And bring a spoon (or...
