How bout Thomas Sweet on Easton Av in New Brunswick? I can remember long long lines of people though they were mostly college kids. Many times we went there and left empty handed because the line was 50 people deep. They had few fancy toppings, it was all in the great ice cream!

I think that if you went to Thomas Sweet nowadays, you might change your mind.
I used to be a customer of theirs, and I considered the ice cream to be very good.
However, on my last visit there a couple of years ago, the pecans in my Butter Pecan ice cream were so obviously rancid that the management would have to have been aware of their deteriorated condition.
The odor of those pecans was a dead giveaway that they were many months past their prime, and I wound up throwing the nasty stuff away. After that incident, I resolved to go elsewhere for my ice cream.
Ryan's in Tinton Falls. Not a fancy place, just a small building. Cash only, many flavors of ice cream. This week they will begin having peach ice cream made with peaches from a local orchard (Eastmont Orchards in Colts Neck, where you can also pick your own).
Ice cream there is SOOO good. I took today off. Might have to stop there.
It was owned for years by my friends grandparents, I wonder if they still do. Worth checking out and getting an ice cream.

Ryan's is amazing.
And peach ice cream made from local peaches? My Shrewsbury born lady love has been informed. She is not unhappy about this!
Cliff's on Rte 46 in Ledgewood, NJ. My wife and I went there last night.
The management company for our office building hires Cliff's for free ice cream as part of tenant appreciation. That was yesterday. Man, they do ice cream right!
Otherwise, my favorite ice cream "shop" is the Haagen Dazs section in the local grocery store, especially when on sale.

But Hoffmans wins hands down.
I'll have to try that someday. But Ryan's will win for me because I don't have to drive half an hour to get to it! As a matter of fact, I've stopped there on the way home from the train station a couple of times.
I can remember getting lime sherbet at Van Dyke's when I was a kid, and it was the best thing I'd ever tasted. Haven't been there in years.
I remember T&W, too. Just had a flashback of my father pulling up there in the red Chevy station wagon with all of us kids in the back.
