“Lighthouse is known for their various Italian ice and soft ice cream flavors. I love this place—they have a new soft-serve ice cream flavor every day! Flavors in the past have included: Oreos, Nutella, S’mores, Cannoli, and so much more! Looking for a nice cold treat on a warm summer day? Look no further than Lighthouse!” @eats_by_lex_

Jersey Freeze is the best! The ice cream is outstanding. You will never make it through the entire menu because they are constantly changing things up, inventing new flavors and each month there is a new outrageous shake of the month. Everything from pistachio soft serve to unicorn ice cream to cookie dough sandwiches—you cannot beat it!” — @Jersey_Foodie
