The Guide: Ice Cream Shops in Allentown, NJ
Part of the Monmouth County ice cream guide
How We Selected These Ice Cream Shops
To appear on this guide, a business sells ice cream to eat on the spot — scooped, soft serve, gelato, sundae, float or an ice cream shake — regardless of what else it sells, with premises in Upper Freehold Township, Millstone Township (Monmouth), Allentown or Roosevelt, NJ. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Ice cream shops, gelaterias, dessert cafés and other businesses selling ice cream appear here because they meet the criteria described above — a published item for sale, and a location in Upper Freehold Township, Millstone Township (Monmouth), Allentown or Roosevelt, NJ. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No business can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the table says about it.
Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says. Where a row carries a verification date, that is when we last checked that business’s record ourselves. A row without one has not been checked recently — that is a fact about our work, not about the business. Ingredients, preparation and allergen handling change, and we record what each business publishes rather than inspecting kitchens. If you have a food allergy, confirm directly with the business before you order. Hours, menus and alcohol policy change often. Every detail here was verified on the date shown above.
Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Monmouth County. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

When was this list last checked?
The Record checked column shows the month each business’s details were last read. If something here is wrong or has changed, the correction note at the end of this guide says how to tell us.
