OK...walking arond campus..need a break....walk down memory lane for one in our crowd.... kids enjoyed...ice cream was good.... but not "knock your socks off".... Lots of chatter behind the counter...but maybe that's the style of the place??? I know it's a memory...and memories are tough to compete with...but if you're really looking for ice cream...perhaps you can keep your eyes... More

Fabulous ice cream... Always a line out of the door, even in the dead of winter and it isn't just University students either. People there are always nice and the ice cream is typical American and good. Cash Only Establishment so hit the ATM before going here.

Adorable and welcoming small ice cream store on Nassau Street in Princeton. The staff are helpful and encourage tasting and choices. The ice cream flavors range from standard chocolate and vanilla to more interesting choices. Serving sizes are large. Enjoy!!

In the winter months they offer two for the price of one....it is a nice deal. Even without the winter special, it is our go-to ice-cream store.

I could only drink a little of the shake that we bought for my poor mom who was unable to eat solid foods but it was one incredible sip. My husband loved his shake too and he comes from upstate NY where it is the land of all things dairy. This place has been a landmark ice cream and real... More

I can't even read the word Thomas Sweet without wanting to run over there and get SOMETHING. I've been going to Thomas Sweet since I was a little girl so I've had a little bit of everything and it's all GREAT. Their soft serve frozen yogurt is the best I've had anywhere and they usually have something 'different' to offer... More

After trying both the this place and the bent spoon, this is definitely my favorite place. Besides a nice variety of flavors, you can make "blends" which are like DQ blizzards, but there are more and better options. The atmosphere was also better--more quaint and cleaner. They also have a fun mirror that the kids enjoyed. Both my kids asked... More

Best ice cream in NJ! I've been going here for 20 years (since college). Since I've graduated, I've traveled 1/2 hour for the ice cream. Order a blend-in. My favorite is cookies and cream with reeses peanut butter cups.

Can't say much more. Best ice cream. Great little place in beautiful downtown Princeton. The kids that work there are hard working... and courteous. Often a long line. Be prepared to wait.
