Nicholas Creamery

Absolutely delicious. The Millennial Chum and I stopped by this past Saturday afternoon on her recommendation after a nearby lunch. This is my kind of ice cream place - verging on hipster, with unique flavors that require an extra few minutes of hemming and hawing because there are tons of legit options. This was a rare instance where I was completely okay with there being a few customers in line ahead of us to give me more time to make a decision.

There were a few strong contenders but I ultimately ordered one of their small batch options, Taliercio's Italian Cookie. I'd...make that a flavor year-round. I'm a big fan of Italian cookies in general (my favorite is probably the anisettes), and one of the main reasons is their emphasis on almond extract. I didn't notice or confirm any anisette cookies in there, but I'm pretty sure I spied and/or tasted a few rainbows and butter cookies. It's a great flavor, and the cookies tasted fresh. In my experience from getting, say, a cookie dough-type flavor, the only potential problem that can arise is if the cookies are stale or the consistency is off from the ice cream. Not here. Perfect and tasty. The Millennial Chum went with one of their "normal" flavors, coincidentally their version of the cookie dough with brown sugar, and was enormously pleased.

One big caveat here - they ARE cash only and have an ATM on the premises. In fact, the initial reason we stopped here was because we planned to go to an estate sale and the Millennial Chum needed to use said ATM to ensure we had some viable legal tender for that event. We didn't end up even going to do that, but I'd say plan B was a lot better and more scrumptious.

Terrific creamy texture, nice dairy flavor-it should, it's ice CREAM! (Not all does). Wide selection of choices, the line moves fast, and i love to visit Atlantic Highlands anyway,

Very good ice cream, creamy and delicious. Not too sweat and a lot of unique flavors. My friend got corn, and I got a goat cheese ice cream. The waffle cone looked super home made and was still warm. The one thing is there was a long hair baked into it so I didn't eat a whole part of the cone, other wise everything was great :)
They are also cash only. Which is a little odd because they seem pretty legit and have other locations...

Was in the Atlantic highlands area and decided to stop for some ice cream.... so happy we did. The ice cream was to die for. Nicholas's creamy had so many options and you could definitely tell that the quality of the ice cream was top notch. The service was excellent and the location couldn't have been better. They even had some seating available, cute little ice cream shop.
Thanks for making this night one to remember.

This place just draws and looks like it makes good ice cream. I don't know if its the branding but it works. The ice cream is on point with it being nice and creamy without being too sweet. I also like that it was clean especially the topping area. They do a nice job here and you can taste that it is homemade. I forgot which ice cream I got but they were all good. We came after eating at Strada across the street. Try this out.

My sister's, friend and I stumbled upon this cute shop while driving around Atlantic Highlands. So glad we did because their ice cream is delicious! We tried Strawberry shortcake, Jersey Berry, Hudson Cafe coffee crunch and Ooey Goey peanut butter shake.. so yummy! Will definitely come back to try the other flavors. FYI, this shop is CASH ONLY!

I have tried their Goat cheese ice cream * seasonal, the great pumpkin * seasonal,
the horchata, * seasonal
the brown sugar cookie dough,
the sweet cream and corn * seasonal
Chocolate bourbon peacan
Hudson cafe coffee crunch
Cookies n cream
Good ole fashioned chocolate

So I like this place because the ice cream is made in small batches, but it's not a ton of sugar and an artificial after taste that I have experienced in my days of trying ice cream.

The service is great, they generously serve the scoops!

They have a super cute storefront, located in Atlantic Highlands. We have sat inside and outside on a bench with our dog. This place is cash only and offers and ATM.

Tried the buttermilk lemon blueberry flavor last weekend, and I'm back here again this Saturday (I live 30 mins away and I like being lazy on weekends). It is that good.
Also tried the Strawberries and Cream today and was equally amazed. Come eat here.

No samples, cash only.

Very good ice cream in a very cute town. I'm not from the area so this icecream shop was recommended. The prices are reasonable and there was seating inside and out. I wish we had this on Long Island. I definitely recommended this charming shop

Hands down some of the best ice cream you'll find in NJ. All of their options are homemade and flavors seem to always change. I haven't had a flavor I didn't like however my favorite was the watermelon chunk...wish that was a flavor all year round. They're cash only but they have an atm inside.
