Stio's Water Ice & Ice Cream — Restaurant in Monroe Township

This was my first visit to Stio's, even though I live about 5 minutes away (and have for roughly a year and a half,) but I guarantee it won't be my last! I wish I had taken a photo of their menu, as it was so vast that I took a good 10 minutes to decide on what I wanted. Honestly, if I had the money and the stomach for it, I could have easily gotten quite a few things - they all looked and sounded so delicious. They have soft serve ice cream, hand dipped ice cream, water ice, shakes (with and without malt,) sundaes, and so many toppings that I can't even recall. The staff was friendly, helpful, and patient (like I said, I took awhile to decide on my order,) as well as really quick with preparing the order. It was a little on the pricey side, but nothing that you aren't used to seeing at big chains/corporate locations that sell the same products. (And honestly, as someone who used to work at one of those chain/corporate locations a long time ago, Stio's has a much wider variety of options, especially as far as ice cream goes, and therefore is worth paying a little extra in the long run.) My diet may not be too happy with me, but I feel like I may be spending a lot of time at Stio's...

AMAZING!!!! I’m from North Jersey....we have Italian ice up here which is VERY different than the Southwest NJ water ice. I had water ice for the very first time and it was AMAZING!!!!!!! This place has more than one location and I would imagine all are equally AWESOME!!!! Wherever you see a Stio’s please stop in and have a shot at any one of their delectable menu items. I can’t wait for my next visit!!! Also to top it all off...this little gem was so clean!!!! I hardly ever visit an establishment like Stio’s and find it clean but this one was immaculate!!!!! Even the outside...

Not what it looks like from the outside.. it looked so clean so well ran from the outside. They even had mouth watering pictures that weren't faded. Then once I order they had nothing ready or in stock and what I did get wasn't so amazing. I even tried to get a chocolate covered banana thinking they were fresh how they look on their sign...nope grossly frozen. I threw it out bc it was so frozen it wouldn't thaw out even in this heat after 10 mins. I wanted to try something new I will stay locally from now on and stick to what I know....
