Here’s a concise, positive Google Maps–style review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic ice cream shop with both amazing local Dominican flavors—like mango, pineapple, and Dominican Cake—and all the classics like strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and natural. The mango burst into my mouth, and I instantly felt like I was lounging on a Caribbean country. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and really knowledgeable about the ingredients. The space is cute, clean, and perfect for an IG moment, or family time. Highly recommend. 3 giant scoops was $10.

Simply delicious, and the customer service is top tier! I’m pregnant and was craving these, but my ETA was past closing time. My husband called to ask if they could wait for us, and they did with smiles on their faces. My favorite are the Icees because they remind me of my summers in the Dominican Republic. All flavors are great but I just went back after two days to stock up on the coconut ones. The gelatos are also tasty!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Palmas Ice Cream is one of the best ice cream spots in New Jersey! 🍦🔥 The place is super clean, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I tried the strawberry and coconut ice cream — both were amazing! 😋 You can really taste the freshness and quality in every scoop. They also have great Latin flavors you don’t find everywhere. Definitely a place worth visiting with family or friends! 🙌

★★★★★ 5.0 Kimberly Beghyn · Oct 2025

Was super excited for this place to finally open and tried it tonight for mini soft opening and really enjoyed it. All the ice cream was delicious and fresh. The inside was super cute. It just brings you a different vibe and flavors in our town. Super excited that it’s officially open. Highly recommend thank you ladies. They were also sweet and patient with me.

Wow!! We walked in (not realizing, sorry!) they had just closed. They were so welcoming, uncovered all the flavors, and gave us samples. They use fresh ingredients and make everything on premise. We got raspberry, passion fruit guava, and guanabana and every flavor was delicious! Best ice cream spot around. We will be back again and again! Thank you!!
