11 Unique Ice Cream Flavors To Try In Bergen
When chocolate and vanilla are just too basic, try one of these unusual options at Bergen’s local ice creameries.
We all love the tried-and-true when it comes to ice cream; you can’t go wrong with a chocolate or vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. But sometimes, your summer sweet tooth craves just a little bit more.
In honor of National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day on July 1, treat yourself to any of these out-of-the-box flavors, available at some of Bergen’s hottest (er, coldest?) ice cream shops. A few of our favorites include:
- All-American Two-Berry Pie from Kilwins, Ridgewood, for when the pie cravings strike in July
- Apricot Pistachio at Daniela’s, Closter, for those who want the flavor of both fruit and nuts
- Banana Pudding at Cranberry Junction, Hackensack, for when a banana loaf or bread is just too much work
- Cocoa Mocha at Conrad’s Confectionery, Westwood, for when you want the mocha taste without the caffeine
- Froot Loops at Ice Cream Charlie’s, Rutherford, for the kids at heart (note that this flavor isn’t available every day; check their Facebook page for daily updates)
- Matcha (Green Tea) at Ice Cream on Grand, Englewood, for when you prefer to lick your matcha rather than sip it
- Peanut Butter Caramel Cookie Dough at Ernie’s, Mahwah, for when you want all the bells and whistles
- Peppermint Stick at Van Dyk’s, Ridgewood, for when you just can’t wait until December for holiday treats
- Ricotta Fig Walnut at Francy’s, Bergenfield, for those who have a very sophisticated palette (note this one is available while supplies last!)
- Thai Tea at New Territories, Fair Lawn, for when your summer vacation plans don’t include a flight to Asia
- Spumoni at Uncle Louie G’s, Maywood, for when you can’t decide (this one is chocolate, pistachio and maraschino cherry all in one!)
