I'm not the biggest fan of strollo's because they don't serve hard ice-cream. But they have alot of great toppings for your soft ice-cream. I never tried their Italian ice, so I can't comment on that. The place is always packed though.
Quick pointers: Cash only! No more than a dozen parking spaces. Super friendly staff. Must visit if you're visiting the beaches in Long Branch.
Refreshing dessert spot for soft-serve ice cream and Italian ice. A stone's throw from Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, this is the perfect cap to a long day at the beach.
The soft-served ice cream is flavorful, and not overly sweet. The Italian ice maintains itself in a rich, creamy slush that is less watery compared to a lot of other Italian ice places. Additionally, there is a variety of unique flavors of the Italian Ice (the peanut butter is a must!) to try.
There is an ATM on-site if your stranded with just cards. The prices are what you would expect for frozen treats, averaging around $5.25.
Outside speakers offer some mild rock and roll and oldies as you sit at the round picnic tables on the premises, ultimately contributing to the beach vibes and making the Jersey Shore experience simply unforgettable.
This place is so good. It’s not the italian ice youd get at Rita’s. It’s thicker and tastier in my opinion. Cash only and there is an ATM to the right of the building. Line wasn’t too long for us but it was annoying with people taste testing. Multiple flavors and they allow you to get multiple flavors of ice and soft serve in a single cup. They also have toppings and sundaes!! No restroom but there’s one across the street. Staff was friendly. There is outdoor seating available also.
I love this place. Whenever I'm in Jersey, I have to stop. The Long Branch location is my favorite. Out here on the island, we have a place that starts with an M that everyone raves about. It doesn't come close to the Lighthouse.
Classic ice cream place in Long Branch (and a few other locations). Their (soft) vanilla is heavenly and not too sweet. Nice outdoor seating.
Amazing home made Ice cream, I've been coming to this place for 30 years and besides the location nothing has changed. The Ice cream is still delicious and amazing. The employees are friendly and welcoming.
Definitely not Italian, but very good especially if your American from Nj. It’s cash only affordable and they have no restroom.
Really cute place, the prices and ice cream are good! It's also open a little later in night so it's a really nice late night spot when the weather permits!
I've been eating Italian ice from the lighthouse since I was a kid. It's always amazing no matter the flavor. We did lemon, cherry, root beer, peanut butter and pistachio. And we always go for the squeeze cups. Everyone working there is always nice. I live in Philly now and this ain't got nothing on "wooder ice" here in the city of brotherly love. Jersey Italian ice for life!
The soft serve ice cream is very tasty and so is their sundae. They have a big selection of ice-cream flavors. Vanilla softserve ice-cream is superb. Took one star out because they don't have dark chocolate.
Based on my visit, it seems that their soft serve ice cream and sundaes are the most popular.
Docked one star because it's cash-only.
