Cream Ridge NJ’s hidden gem retro ice cream shop closed for season
We're definitely suckers for ice cream in this state (as I'm sure many other states are as well). So it can be hard to determine which places are the best. With so many scattered throughout all 21 New Jersey counties, how do we decide which are the best?
Well, if you're a soft-serve fan then TK's in Cream Ridge will be your go-to, but you'll have to wait until next season to get your fix.
The shop closed down Sunday, October 13th for the season. They had incredibly long lines for their last two days open.
There is no inside seating at TK's so that's why they close down for the late fall and all of winter.
They will reopen in the spring.
Flavors like strawberry banana (my personal favorite), orange creamsicle, orange creamsicle vanilla twist and chocolate vanilla twist just to name a few.

Their name "TK's" according to their website comes from:
"Taffy and Kenny Horner. Being lifelong residence of the area we decided to open a retro ice cream stand. TK's is a family run and family friendly establishment. So we would love for you to bring your family to meet ours!"
It's located at 331 Route 539 in Cream Ridge, which is unincorporated community located within Upper Freehold Township in Monmouth County.

Speaking from experience I'd highly recommend the strawberry banana soft serve twist with chocolate sprinkles in a cone. It's probably my favorite ice cream that I've had anywhere, although every soft serve here is good so you really can't do any wrong.
