Days Ice Cream

Don't miss getting your sweet tooth polished off at this delightful but best of all, THEE place to enjoy the best ice cream in the Northeast. You'll never forget how much fun it is to eat your favorite dessert, my pic, get the black cow. See you there, warm days are around the corner. (I used to dish it out back in 1971, we aimed to serve then, it's still the best today.)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Day’s Ice Cream – Ocean Grove, NJ This place is an absolute gem! The vibe is super nostalgic with its cute porch and old-school charm. The ice cream? Creamy, delicious, and packed with flavor—so many options to choose from! Staff was friendly and the whole experience just screams classic Jersey Shore summer. Be ready for a line on busy days, but it’s totally worth the wait. Definitely a must-visit! 🍦🌞

Ice cream is premium and delicious. I like caramel and had the Sea Salt Caramel Truffle. The caramel ice cream was smooth, tasty and not too sweet. The 'Truffle' was chucks of chocolate. Delicious. The 'Small' size in a dish which was a bit more than I wanted - but none went to waist. It was about the size of most places 'medium'. The 3 other people in our party all enjoyed their ice cream too. At popular times, there will be a line. The ice cream is worth the wait. Tables with chairs are available to sit and enjoy the experience. Nice beach-town atmosphere.

I’ve been coming to Day’s for many years and the ice cream is always amazing. Their current flavor of the moment was Lemon Bar, and it was truly one of the best flavors of ice cream I’ve ever had! This review is my plea for them to make Lemon Bar a permanent flavor it was that good, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it!

This is such a great little spot right next to The Starving Artist. I came here after my long beach day to get a nice ice cream cone and I was amazed on how many different flavors they have to choose from. I went with my OG which is just a scoop of chocolate and butter pecan on a cone and it tasted great. Plus, you get a lot for your monies worth. I really liked the ambiance as it was warm, vibrant and friendly. The prices here are extremely reasonable and they can accommodate people with certain dietary restrictions (i.e., non dairy, non dairy sorbet, low fat and sugar free). They also have sundaes, shakes, banana splits and brownie sundaes. So basically, they have a little something for everyone. In my opinion, this spot along with The Starving Artist are definitely worth checking out and I will be back!

This is the ice cream experience that belongs in Ocean Grove. Amazing selection of flavors and options- beyond the cone or cup. I had a scoop of salted caramel pretzel with a scoop of black raspberry chip. WOW! Then to sit at the many tables and relax? Perfect relaxing moment after a long day at the beach.

This is my all time favorite place to enjoy home made dairy free ice cream! My friends and family love their regular ice cream too. They have a lot of flavors to try. I’m allergic to dairy so this is a really special treat for me to go here a few times a year. I was there yesterday after the street fair and had a cup of oat milk peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream. OMG it was so delicious! They just opened for the season and they close early October I believe. So great on a summer night to grab an ice cream and listen to some music from the great auditorium. They also have beautiful gardens outside on the side with tables and chairs . Give it a try, I’m sure you’ll love their ice cream.

Really good ice cream place and amazing outside seating area.

I had a small cookies & cream in a cup, my standard ice cream order everywhere. This place is highly rated but for me it was average. The ice cream wasn't rich and creamy. And the cookies were ground into the ice cream instead of being chunks, my preference. The standout is the seating outdoor area. I came off-season but it's a covered space on the side of the shop. Ceiling fans blow a nice breeze and there are plenty of tables. The staff were efficient but nothing to write home about.

This feels like an old school ice cream shop in the best way. The kind of place that feels like it hasn't changed much in decades, and they should probably spell it "shoppe" because I think that's how they did it back in the day. What do I mean by that? I'm not really sure. But the prices are right, they've got tons of flavors and options, you're served by some friendly teenagers, and there's an enormous outdoor seating area if you decide you don't want to walk the Asbury Park boardwalk with your cone (or cup or whatever). I love that they offer a small, medium, and large option for cups and cones, and that the large is only $7. There's also a "short shot" for $3.50, which is not just the size I want to give my kids so they don't overdose on sugar, but also the only size I want to eat myself as well. It's a single scoop of high quality ice cream, and it's perfect. I can also somehow get out of here with ice cream for my whole family for less than a single sundae in Brooklyn, and that's a beautiful thing. They've got dozens of flavors, but for me, it's all about the salted caramel pretzel. My wife is always trying to get me to split that and another flavor with her, but I don't need anything else. Keep your inferior chocolate whatever. Give me my short shot of salted caramel pretzel on a sunny summer day, and I'm a happy man.

Old school ice cream parlor serves flavor ice cream and nostalgia!! The graham was addictive! I'll be back!! There's a huge outdoor seating area, bathrooms, amazing staff and service, delicious flavors!

It's like stepping back In time! The line was long but moved quickly. Plenty of flavors to choose from. I ordered a brownie sundae, the thing was huge, the brownie was a chefs kiss!! Really enough for 2 people. I struggled to finish it. So good!

After spending the day at Ocean Grove beach, we stopped at this ice cream shop for a sweet treat. We were a little intimidated by the long line at first, but it moved quickly--and it was absolutely worth the wait! The ice cream is delicious, and the freshly made waffles are to die for. The shop itself is adorable, and the staff is warm and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

The BEST ice cream I've ever had! I'm not really an ice cream person but we came here with the kids and it looked good. If you like creamy ice cream with smooth texture and with substance, not watery, not too sweet (but perfect) this is your place. I got the Nutella crunch flavor on a wafer cone and it was SO good, I'm still dreaming about it. I ate the whole thing. Because it's so creamy and has natural fats and sugars from the cream, they don't add too much sugar and it's just perfect. And it's not watery so it doesn't melt and run down your hand. They have so many delicious and unique flavors and their prices are reasonable. We had ice cream on the Asbury Park boardwalk a few nights prior and it was almost double the price for much less quantity and the quality was terrible. Definitely coming here from now on. Truly the best.

Great breakfast. Lovely being able to sit outdoors. Fresh made food. Service was friendly and inviting. Prices and quality very good

While staying in Ocean Grove after dinner one night we decided to go get ice cream. We found this place while walking one day and exploring the town. It looks like it came out of a movie. It is so cute with the lights outside and the overhang area where you can sit outside and enjoy your ice cream. The place gets busy. It is small sides so the line is normally outside. They have a whole bunch of different ice cream flavors for you to pick from. I had the small salted caramel pretzel and it was more than enough for me. I like the chucks of pretzel in it. For two small and one medium the bill was about $15 which I thought was pretty reasonable. We sat outside in the area, which was really great for families or people who just wanted to relax for a little. This place definitely adds to the charm of the town and we enjoyed getting ice cream here.

Stopped in to try my first egg cream since I'm visiting the area and had a delightful visit to Day's! I came in with a mission to try an egg cream and it was delicious. Their flavors of ice cream looked to be very unique. I will hopefully stop by again after dinner to try their ice cream. The employees were kind and helpful and the interior itself was colorful and filled with pictures and decor.

The line was very long... but we were recommended to try this ice cream place as I am non dairy and my family are not. We made the line..... it was worth it. Very very nice friendly ambiance. They have many seating outside with over head. I recommend this 100!!!!

We went on Fourth of July weekend. The line was pretty far out the door, but I don't think we waited more than 10 or 15 minutes. They kept it moving well maintaining a friendly atmosphere. Ice cream was delicious. Nobody was disciplined. We went back later in the week and there was no line. Highly recommend.

We went to a festival in the area today and we stopped in to this ice cream and breakfast spot. The line was long so I knew it was going to be good. I ordered a waffle sundae which I thought was going to be a waffle cone/bowl, but it was an actual homemade waffle with ice cream on it. The ice cream was real good and the waffle was fresh and warm. Really big dessert, and it was $9, not bad. The only very minor constructive feedback is that the butterfinger topping on it was more like dust instead of small pieces. Otherwise it was yummy and I would definitely go back again.

Delicious and lots of flavors. At the shore for a couple of days and loves this little ice cream place.

Nice location. Went during labor day week. Its a seasonal place. Outside dining. Ice-cream parlor is small and lines can get long but the service is amazing and the lines go by fast. Ordered the waffle sandwich and i was able to pick two flavors. I chose chocolate chip mint and cookie dough - amazing. The waffle was fresh and fluffy . I am so glad i came here. The waffle sandwiches on the board walk don't even compare.

Very busy and great place. The line is out the door to order but they have plenty of seating inside: they have soft serve and hard ice cream with all the flavors. I had vanilla with hot fudge Sunday and we ordered strawberry and hot fudge Sunday with fresh strawberries. Service was fast and delicious. Definitely would be back!

The service was ok but in the sitting area there was curse words and political opinion it's literally an ice cream store. The ice cream is good though with a variety of flavors.

Delicious ice cream and plenty of outside seating on a charming covered porch. Nice variety of ice cream. Friendly service

Ordered: Short Shot (~$3) on Sugar Cone: Cookies n Cream flavor Aya's take: Not the ice cream spot I wanted to try but the one I ended up at! Days has about 40 ice cream flavors to choose from, most of which are your typical flavors. I went with the Cookies n Cream which was pretty standard. It tasted good but nothing extraordinary. Nice outdoor seating area great for Summer time!

Ooooh such good and creamy ice cream! I got the mocha chocolate crunch and a peanut butter - both were EXCELLENT. i also love how they can do two flavors in the kids cup. Classic old school ambiance, love the pride flags and the inclusivity. All the staff are wonderful. Great little post dinner spot.

Worth the wait (if there's a line)! So many flavors, including several sugar free and dairy free options.

my sea salt caramel truffle had neither sea salt nor caramel nor truffle. bad flavor. don't get this flavor. I want a new flavor

The ice cream was delicious. We ordered the raspberry chocolate chip and it was so fresh tasting! Would highly recommend!

You're going to have to wait in a long line, no matter what time you show up. But the ice cream (in the end) is WORTH IT. There's also a large seating area, right after you finish purchasing delicious ice cream, where you can sit and enjoy all that goodness.

First time here. Nice old timey classic homemade ice cream parlor. It's all outside, order at the window and pickup. Plenty of flavors to choose from, generous portions and plenty of outdoor seating (covered). Definitely a return visit is warranted.

A decent wait to get ice cream on a nice summer night but definitely worth it! The waffle sundae was ridiculous. So much food and tasty!

Best ice cream I have arguably ever had! We were looking for a place open after 9 and Days ice cream was one of the few open. They have a great vegan menu and creative normal ice cream too. The cherry chocolate chip was really goooooood and trash can was everything but trashy. The atmosphere is super cozy and brings you back in time. *10/10 totally recommend*

Some of the best ice cream at the Jersey Shore. Too bad the lines are always so long!

Man o man.... This place is now my all time favorite ice cream spot because they have a flavor I have never seen before ... PEANUT BUTTER MOOSE TRACKS!!!!! Now Moose Tracks was my favorite ice cream flavor and it's not always available at most ice cream shops and if it is- sometimes it's not the best. But this place has moose tracks that is good and it has this PB moose tracks and that now trumps Moose tracks for me lol. I was brought here by a friend after a beach day at Asbury Park . We drove over to Ocean Grove . Parking can be hellish. But if you can find one- you are set! We walked in and there were a few people in front of us on line but by the time we left- the line was down the block !!! There is a patio / outside seating- that you can sit down and thoroughly enjoy your ice cream:) I'm not really a ice cream person but this place has me dreaming of when I can come back to have another dose lol :)

The ice cream was super delicious! A must when driving through Ocean Grove! It was truly a wonderful experience

The ambience is adorable! If cream was very good. Staff super friendly. Definitely would go back!

Very quaint ice cream parlor in quaint OG. We stopped here following a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. There's a big porch with a decent amount of seating available. There's also a public restroom which was a huge plus. We all had different flavors and enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely recommend. Tip: don't enter on Olin. Enter on Pittman Ave.

Excellent! Stumbled upon this place searching for ice cream while eating dinner at the Black Swan. Walked here from Asbury. Pleasant walk. Long line but moved fast and worth the wait. I had cinnamon chocolate and my husband had cappuccino choco crunch.

Love this place. Great ice cream and great service. One of many attractions in Ocean Grove.

Service: Our orders were taken quickly. The communication between customers and workers was pretty flawless. I know this place gets busy during the 'rush hours' after dinner so it's not surprising that there can be a bit of a wait at times but totally worth it. Cost: For ice cream, it is towards the expensive end but they are all very well made! If you want some good homemade ice cream, this is definitely the place to go. Environment: The store seems to be run almost like a family business. It is nice and cozy, the interior and exterior of the store gives off a feeling of familiarity. Food: Homemade ice cream- you definitely cannot beat that! The special flavored ones are on point with the ice cream to topping ratio. I personally ordered the coconut ice cream and it is one of the best ones that I have eaten! Uniqueness: There is a nice patio area to sit and eat outside. During the summer, when the weather is nice and warm/cool, I would highly recommend grabbing some of days delicious ice cream, claiming a spot outside, and enjoy the company and ice cream!

Awesome location and ice cream , very friendly staff and owner. Every flavor will be delectable.

Love their butter pecan myself! Make sure you get a small at biggest a medium. This small is most places medium but their medium is most places extra large. Other family members have liked the moose tracks and Carmel pretzel flavors too and they are good but I don't like super sweet. The owners and serves are pleasant and always helpful/friendly. Also huge plus in the summer they are open late!!! Go support this local business whenever the ice cream crave hits you!

Portions are very generous; the people are super nice and the ambiance is extremely welcoming. If you're looking for a great ice cream place with a variety for every pallet you'll love Days. I took a group of 20 youth from the church and everyone loved it.

We could see from the line outside that this is a pretty popular place in town. Don't get discouraged by the line, it goes by pretty quick. Day's has a vast variety of flavors, extremely organized, the outdoor seating is big, non congested and very clean. It seems like they send staff out frequently to check on the patio status. I came with my family 30 min to close and they was a long line. It went by super quickly. The staff is very friendly and quick and know how to be nice without rushing you. My group ordered, rum and raisin, dulce de leche, pistachio, trash can ( a bunch of flavors put together), and Midnight Chocolate Cookie. All of these flavors were DELICIOUS!!! Point blank. There's no argument and even the line that forms proves it. Every ice cream is spectacular on its own terms. If you're ever in the area, I would 1000000% recommend Day's Ice Cream.

Cute spot off the beaten path! Lots of flavors as well as non-milk choices. The minty lemon sorbet was fresh abd delicious!

This is one of the Ice Cream spots you visit after a Long Beach days! Because of covid-19 they had only outside seating which was perfect for me. I love have the fact they have so many toppings and flavor option however the flavors were no visible so you had to ask for all of it. I order a small Oreo cookies and creams and ice cream! This is great I love how they have me a cone in a cup always been a fan of this! My friend order a brownie fudge sundae with whip cream! She finished it in about 5 mins that's how you know that joint was banging. My ice cream was great! Great place to stop by if you are around the area after a beach day!!

This is an excellent ice cream spot in a perfect location right at the start of the Asbury Park Boardwalk. On a perfectly sunny summer day, there's no better way than starting a nice walk on the beach or boardwalk with a stop here for some of the excellent ice cream. I ordered a small, which gets you two different flavors if you wish for the low low price of just $3.75. I chose Chocolate Peanut Butter (my default as long as they have it) and Salty Caramel Pretzel. Both were really excellent. The ice cream here is nice and dense and has some good chew to it. It holds up well under the sun on the beach. If you are not a child like me and prefer to have real food before your ice cream, you can grab some tasty tacos from Mogo which is a few steps away, and then come here for dessert to cool down before heading over to the beach. Either way, make sure you stop by here for a nice treat.

I am so glad we found this place! And am a little upset with myself that I didn't know of it sooner. Super friendly service, great tasting ice cream. They have adjusted very well and intelligently to covid restrictions with clearly marked signs, plastic barriers for their staff and the use of trays if you have more than two items to bring to your party.

After spending late afternoon hours at the boardwalk and driving through what locals calls "tent city", we decided to stop for ice cream. Days Ice Cream is on the corner of Pitman Ave and is the oldest continuously operated business at one location in OG. It's sort of hidden as you drive on some of the streets so don't miss it! They have a covered canopy eating area and looked very charming, so we worked our way around the streets to find a parking spot. Days Ice Cream dates back to 1876 and looks much as it did in the 19th century with its ornate decor, original bentwood chairs and walnut tables. I love the old fashion stores so this lured me right in! Inside you'll find an array of ice cream flavors. To my surprise they even had non-dairy for lactose-intolerant folks! It's easy to see why Days Ice Cream is ranked #2 out of 16 restaurants in Ocean Grove. The staff are friendly and quick to serve each customer. As like most ice cream parlors, they allow you small samples of the old fashion hand dipped ice cream of your choice before you decide what "oh so smooth and creamy" ice cream will fill your cone or dish!

Ice cream and ambience are good, but they are very chintzy with the size of their scoops ice cream. we have tried every local ice cream shop, and they would be number one if their portions were more in line with other parlors.

My family and I have been getting ice cream here for over 25 years. It's a go to every time we come to the beach, the flavors and service never disappoint!

The best ice cream around, great flavors and large portions. The staff is great and very friendly. Try the ice tea it is refreshing and delicious.

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had! Can't wait for them to open for the summer. Beautiful location, really lovely outdoor space, and amazing flavor options. Well priced and so good!!

No mask? No worries! Although posted that customers must be wearing masks and be socially distant, they still serve people without masks, as well as those who do not follow social distancing. Very surprising and disappointing. Why post rules and then not require people to follow them? Either they ran out of cones or are not serving cones at this time. Unclear.

The food is amazing and the takeout cooks are lovely. The cashier was so rude. She exchanged nasty aggressive comments as I departed. I was astounded. If you don't mind a lot of unhappy cashier lady, the place is a gem. Ptown is much more welcoming.
