The Lighthouse

The employs are always nice. The ice cream is really good. Most of the ices are really good. I gave it 4 stars because a few of the ice flavors aren’t very good. Blueberry is my favorite ice flavor and theirs isn’t good.

A delicious summer treat. I got chocolate and peanut butter in a cup and it was just what the doctor ordered! The line seemed long, but the staff is great and it goes by really quickly.

Good tasting ice for the area (although Diane’s in south jersey is way better); and the soft serve is good. You can get both in a cone, which is perfect for a warm day treat!

Lighthouse is a summer must-​have. Trademark of the real jersey shore ! Great variety of Italian ices and cream. Recommend pistachio ice or the Reese’s hurricane !!

Amazing Italian ice, which comes in so many flavors and the ice cream is always perfectly creamy.

I have been going to the Belmar and Long Branch Lighthouses for years, and the soft vanilla ice cream is soooo good that I am afraid to order any other delights… I was there a few evenings ago and ordered my usual soft vanilla with rainbow sprinkles… and the girl had started making it in a cup instead of a cone. I had stopped her and requested a cone (NO BIG DEAL). She was very very nice… One of her co-​workers who had nothing to do with my transaction very rudely and loudly for that matter said, ‘Really?” Customer service is as important as wonderful ice cream.. I was very put off by her comment. I left with my CUP of ice cream, it was delicious as usual, and have a bad taste in my mouth left by some smart ass teenager. I am positive that I was not even a blip on the radar of crappy customers that you will have to deal with .I wasn’t even YOUR customer..

Great Italian ices and ice cream! Really cheap. Really tasty — the ices and ice cream have a nice quality to them (not too rich, but still pretty solid) — all in the $ 3 – 6 range.
Just stopped by here really fast for a dessert after visiting the beach. The staff was really friendly and super fast; didn’t have to wait more than 30 seconds even with a crowd around. Cute little tables with umbrellas around to sit and nom if you like as well.

The ice is better than the national chains. The peanut butter ice is a favorite.

I can’t wait to go home to visit my family so I can make a trip to the Lighthouse this summer.
I always get a cup with soft serve vanilla with blue ices. With every spoonful, I ask myself «Which is better, the vanilla or the ices?» and I just can’t decide. It is the creamiest soft serve you will ever taste. The ices are far superior to any others and others taste terrible to me in comparison.
on a side note: don’t ever come here late on a saturday night — -the place will be a mob scene

Hands down the best italian ice anywhere!

This is a great place to experience the real taste of summer. I love the original ice flavors more than the newer ones and their soft ice cream is wonderful. I tried their new light ice cream tonight and it was also fantastic. There is a terrific playground across the street for young families or grandchildren. It makes a complete summer outing.
