Stopped by ZRolls Ice Cream in downtown Summit on a sunny Saturday afternoon—perfect timing for a cool treat after strolling Springfield Avenue. Tucked at 452 Springfield Ave., the shop has a vibrant, modern vibe with colorful signage and a window where you can watch the magic happen. It's a fun spot for families or anyone craving something Instagram-worthy, and the outdoor seating is a nice touch on good days. Their specialty is Thai-style rolled ice cream, made fresh to order with customizable bases like vanilla or mango, plus mix-ins (think Oreos, fresh fruits, or mochi) and toppings. I built my own roll with a strawberry base, mixed in brownie chunks and strawberries, then topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle—$9 well spent. It was creamy, not too sweet, and the rolling process added that cool, theatrical element. My kiddo loved their Cookie Monster roll (blue vanilla with cookies), which was a hit for the vibrant color and fun texture. The staff was super friendly and efficient, explaining options patiently even during the lunch rush. A couple of small gripes kept it from a perfect score: The wait was about 15 minutes since everything's made fresh, which is understandable but a bit long if you're in a hurry. Portions are generous but the price adds up if you're getting extras—could feel pricey for a quick dessert. Also, it was a tad sticky inside from the summer heat, though the AC was blasting. Overall, ZRolls brings a fresh twist to ice cream in Summit—delicious, customizable, and entertaining. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby, especially for the unique rolls you won't find at your standard scoop shop. Planning to go back for their...
Read moreIf I could give them zero stars, I would. The customer service is terrible! I ordered two strawberry teas and waited 20 minutes while the woman and man made two ice cream creations for the two girls in front of me and then proceeded to fill an order for the woman that came 10 minutes after me. When I told the man that I had to leave because my meter had expired and my children were now late for their appointments, he ignored me. I then told him I would need to get my money back so I could leave and didn't have time to wait until they started to make my teas. He continued to ignore me. I then raised my voice to let them know I had to leave and really needed my money back because I was now late for my meter and appts. The man finally said that my teas were almost ready as the woman just started to make my teas and wouldn't give me my money back. Unbelievable!!! The teas hadn't even been made and he was saying I needed to just wait and refused to give me my money back! Wow! I can honestly say I have never, ever dealt with such rudeness and blatant disrespect. When the man finally decided to return my money, he used one hand to give me 4 bills back very slowly, obviously to just be a complete jerk. It wasn't enough that he blatantly ignored me when I told him about my limited time and spoke nicely and explained that I was in a bind. He had to wait until I got loud to even agree to return my money and then had the nerve to act that way?! I think a place like this should not be in business. Their ice cream is nothing special and then to not have poor, but terrible customer service, how can they possibly expect to stay...
Read moreMy recent visit to Z Rolls Ice Cream Shop left me utterly disappointed. Despite the enticing promise of delicious ice cream, my experience was marred by an excruciating 45-minute wait for a simple order. As if that weren't frustrating enough, when I expressed my dissatisfaction and requested a refund, the staff's response was shockingly dismissive. Instead of acknowledging their failure to meet reasonable service expectations, they offered a paltry $5 refund for a $30 order.
Not only was the wait time excessive, but the lack of accountability and inadequate compensation for such poor service reflects poorly on the establishment's commitment to customer satisfaction. It's disheartening to see a business prioritize profit over providing a positive experience for its patrons.
I strongly advise potential customers to think twice before patronizing Z Rolls Ice Cream Shop. With subpar service and a disregard for customer concerns, there are plenty of other establishments deserving of your...
