Description

A beloved shore ice creamery known for silky Italian ice and creamy soft-serve, with standout lemon, blue-raspberry and chocolate-peanut butter pairings. Flavors are bright without being overly sweet, portions generous and prices affordable. Friendly staff, plentiful toppings like rainbow sprinkles, and a broad flavor selection make it family- and kid-friendly. Expect summer crowds and cash-only service, and note it operates seasonally — but loyal lines suggest the wait is worth it.

You cannot go wrong with Strollos!!! Best place if you want the Ice Cream and Italian Ice combo!! My go to will always be the Chocolate Ice Cream and Peanut Butter Ice!! Well worth the calories!!

Pretty nice ice cream in a typical NJ shore ice creamery. The prices are decent, and the 'regular ' size is 2x of the already substantial 'kiddie ' portion for 50 cts more. There goes the waist line!

One of the best ice cream spots in the area! The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. My only wish is that they were open year-round, but I guess that's just my selfish desire, haha!

All the flavors I tried were delicious. I appreciate that they aren't overly sweet. You can enjoy both vanilla and fruit flavors in a single cup, which is a nice bonus.

The soft serve chocolate ice cream topped with rainbow sprinkles is definitely the highlight here. Keep in mind that it's cash only. During the summer, it can get quite busy, but the wait is definitely worth it. There's a wide variety of refreshing treats to choose from!
