Great product, but the atmosphere is the star! Friendly owners. It's a North Widwood "Don't miss"!

This place is dripping with atmosphere. I was on the hunt for a pistachio milkshake and Scoops delivered. Others in my party were equally satisfied with ice cream scoops and sundaes.
A great place for kids and ids-at-heart.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 29, 2023
What a great place! Adorable 50 style diner type ice cream shop. I don't have pictures of the ice cream, because I had to sit outside with my dog! It was dark. The inside is lovely, very kid friendly, and the ice cream was just delicious. I had a caramel sundae with peanuts and whip cream. The perfect ending to the day!

Very cute place. Lots of very old memorabilia throws you back in time but also very clean at the same time. I wish I would've taken pictures of the booths they have that are like 1950s cars. Definitely take some time and look around the entire place at everything. Very huge portions. In my opinion a small was too big for me. What seem to be the owner and her daughter were running the place and super super friendly.

My happy place. A must stop while in Wildwood. I adore every small detail and piece of history brought into this doo-wop joint. Every room filled with tons of authentic collectibles from the 1950s-60s. Music playing follows suit. Great ice cream selection and friendly service. I can't say enough nice things about this place. Come take a trip down memory lane enjoying your favorite treat. Cash only.

Kind and friendly staff! Always speedy service. You get what you're paying for! It's a bonus you get a "museum" experience on top of getting ice cream. The car booths are so cool like a drive In experience. Gluten free and dairy free options are awesome. Always get a cookie bowl!!! You won't regret it. I would go every single night if I could.

Cool Scoops is one of my favorite ice cream places. Obviously, the ice cream is great - but the atmosphere is even better.
There's plenty of seating inside the restaurant, but our favorite place to sit is the booths converted from old fashion cars. The rest of the restaurant is filled with old antiques and memorabilia which provides plenty to look out!
Back to the menu - there are options for everyone. They've got plenty of flavors and a menu full of options. Everything from milk shakes to specialty sundaes.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Cc C.Vineland, NJ0481Jul 1, 2023

My son, who has celiac disease, and I went here after reading about them on Find Me Gluten Free. They know the safety guidelines, have delicious gluten free cones that taste like regular ones, and even give you a spoon wrapped in a plastic pack. The place itself is adorable! Tables that are shaped like 1950s cars, tons of old memorabilia, and a working jukebox. Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. And the most important part? The ice cream is delicious!!! Omg I got a Dusty Road Sundae and switched out the vanilla ice cream for their caramel pretzel something ice cream. The woman there suggested I then put caramel on it rather than hot fudge. It was the yummiest sundae I think I've ever eaten! The caramel is not a runny sauce. It's thick and gooey - the real thing. I told my son they should make that one of their sundaes and call it the Dusted Pretzel or something like that haha. I won't be back to Wildwood probably till next year but I'm absolutely returning.

I love this place!
Every time we visit wildwood we come here for ice cream because the vibe is so nice
The entire place has a 50s/60s theming to it
There are separate rooms
One where you order the ice cream, the front room which is filled with old cars that you eat in
The room to the right is themed to be an old diner
While the room to the left of the entrance is filled with music of the time such as the Beatles and Elvis
The ice cream is good too! I got the salted caramel pretzel which was good!
I really do recommend you come here when in wildwood even if you don't like ice cream the vibe is greatHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
