Springer's Homemade Ice Cream Reviews
A 50 year tradition if in Stone Harbor, they don't have table service any more which is sad... our favorite thing to do with Grandkids and our friends
I hadn't been to Springer's in about 7 years. Yet when I went the other night it ran as smoothly as always. There is always a line, but they keep the line moving. We had the chocolate marshmallow and cotton candy ice cream. Both were delicious. There was plenty of space outside to eat it on a bench.
Loved the vibes and delicious ice cream! They run a smooth operation on busy summer nights :)
Ice cream was delicious and so nice to have homemade ice cream instead of a brand you can buy in the store. The ice cream was really creamy and good. I had the almond amaretto. It was great! You can sample anything before you choose. They have a good variety of ice cream. Only a couple of tables out front and the one we sat at needed to be cleaned pretty bad but that's the only negative. Definitely worth a visit!
Great tasting and lots of varieties! Great for the whole family! Even have dairy free options for me!
This place has a line out the door every day and for good reason! They have so many flavors to choose from and everything tastes so good! They absolutely deserve all the hype! Blueberry cheesecake is my favorite, but drunken cherry and coffee are up there too!
Chocolate overload , banana fudge, chocolate chip , peanut butter banana.... All absolutely fabulous! I have been here in the past and remember being unimpressed, tried to visit a few times over the years but didn't feel like waiting in the long lines ... I wish I had waited! This ice cream is as good as it gets anywhere... super creamy , interesting flavors and a-lot of hype . Springers definitely lived up to its reputation as it was difficult to chose a flavor but they were all amazing. I would say the chocolate overload was the best and banana fudge was a close second. Do yourself a favor and wait in the long line , you will be happy!
Classic | Creamy | Options Classic - Springer's is a staple of life on the 7-mile island. There are effectively two institutions when it comes to ice cream, and this is the one in Stone Harbor. It is the quintessential old-school ice cream spot. You show up and when you get into the building you will be called to the front and will order from the big board. You have to go whether you have little ones, you are a teenager, or you are visiting family - you have to check out Springers. Traditional - They have traditional scoop ice cream here. Springer's has a set of staple flavors and a few seasonal flavors. Take your time whenever you consume because you will have a STRONG brain freeze if you rush. You can look up their flavors online. So, while you are in line definitely look them over because there are typically 25+ flavors on the menu. Options - You have a variety of options for toppings at the Springer's. You can add jimmies (sprinkles - for people not from the northeast), M & Ms, Oreos, gummy worms, etc. Pro Tip - There is limited parking. Therefore plan on walking over. You have to go during the day in the summer. If you go after 6 pm, there will be a line of 50+ people. Pro Tip - When in doubt - Get the BLUE THING. IT'S a calorie overload but well worth it.

"Definitely the beat ice cream down the Shore" I've loved this place since I was a kid, and it is hasn't changed a bit. Fresh cream, sugar, flavor and love is all they add. This is the definition of homemade Americana ice cream What's good - Mint chocolate chip is one of the best flavors along with Moreo - So many choices of flavors including seasonal ones - A small is a big enough serving for two! - Still a bargain after inflation! What could be better - Wish it was open all year round You have to try it if you are anywhere near here. Just make sure you are prepared to stand in line or come during the day!
