Hidden gem. Nice variety of flavors. Good value. Only downside is that its counter service/outside and the wait can be long

We love our graham cracker ice cream. It was quite good here. Very rich and delicious. Large portions. Interesting other flavors to try next time. No indoor seating. Benches outside and only street parking. Highly recommended.

Lovely window shop with lots of tasty options and an excellent staff. Had a scoop or their German Chocolate Cake and another of their Wicked Chocolate. Both were very good. There are a few benches where you can sit an enjoy your frozen treat. Ample...street parking.More

We read the reviews so it was off to taste the product. We were lucky to park in front of the shop and waiting line was short. However, it was early evening. Within a few minutes, the waiting line was down the Main Street of...Cranbury. The only other concern was the limited seating. We decided to take our ice cream home. The butter pecan and chocolate peanut butter were divine choices. So creamy and delicious. This was truly homemade. This certainly was worth the trip. Hooray for summertime.More

I ordered a large sundae with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce and whipped cream...this is the sloppiest presentation I’ve ever seen! I don’t care if you’re making sundaes or working for a Fortune 500, put in every ounce of your energy so you can be...proud of the work you did. This is just lazy. And PS- the ice cream didn’t knock my socks off eitherMore

On The Plus Side: Delicious Ice Cream. Go for it! On The Minus Side: Tell the neighbors right across the street from Gil and Bert's to ditch their GIGANTIC political signs supporting Donald Trump.

We decided we wanted some ice cream and found this place not to far off our route through Google maps. We were so glad we decided to stop! It's a nice little ice cream stand, with lots of flavors to choose from. We tried the...s'mores, chocolate peanut butter, and cookies and cream flavors. All three were excellent! The benches were roped off (coronavirus precaution probably) so we walked along the main street while we ate our ice cream. We'd definitely stop again if we're in the areaMore

This little spot packs a punch. The ice cream is fantastic. Hadn't been in a couple of years... still great. Came twice in 2 days. The first time, off peak and not many people... the second time around 7pm and it was packed. Loved the...cherry vanilla, regular vanilla, coffee w/toffee, cake batter, mint chip.

We stopped here on the way back to our truck after eating supper. I never pass up an ice cream. It was very good, I had chocolate with peanut butter and my husband had coffee toffee. The sizes were quite small but the taste made...up for it.More

After having dinner out in cranberry there’s no place better to go for ice cream. I had the Cherry Blossom with hot fudge. My husband had the coffee toffee and my mom had mint on main. If you want to treat yourself make no mistake,...go here for ice cream. There’s always a line but it goes fast.More

Just a super small and cute ice cream stand that serves literally some of the freshest and tastiest ice cream outside of Haagen Daz headquarters. Their sea salt caramel is to die for. What I especially love is that none of the ice cream tastes...artificial. All of it tastes homemade. They are our go to for great ice cream. Old fashioned paper cups and plastic spoons. No branding. Simple and good. You must go.More

Delicious ice cream with a kid friendly atmosphere. While everyone enjoys unique ice cream flavors like better batter cake batter or mint on main, kids grab chalk and let their inner artistic talents set free. Oh, if you haven’t tried fly fishing fudge, turn around,...don’t pass go and run back to Gil & Bert’s straight away!More

What's not to like about having fresh, home made ice cream. Friendly service. Loved the pistachio. Liked the "birthday cone" for my pooch.
