North Wildwood, New Jersey

Ice cream meets museum.

A real 1950s parlor on the Jersey Shore. 35 flavors, vintage car booths, and neon until late.

The booths here have tail fins.

Cool Scoops is half parlor, half museum: real car booths, a Rockola jukebox, vintage pinball, and walls of doo wop memorabilia.

Pick your ride

A 1959 Cadillac, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and a 1957 Ford Fairlane all retired here as booths. Order a malt, slide in, and drop a quarter on the Rockola.

35 flavors, one impossible choice.

Hand dipped hard ice cream, soft serve, and everything a proper soda fountain should pour.

Flavors include Vanilla Bean, Dutch Chocolate, Black Raspberry, Mint Chocolate Chip, Butter Pecan, Cookies and Cream, Teaberry, Strawberry, Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter Swirl, Rocky Road, Birthday Cake, Coffee, Cherry Vanilla, Pistachio, Orange Sherbet, Maple Walnut, Cotton Candy, and more on the seasonal board.

Sundaes

House builds like the ScoopDeVille and the Lil' Deuce Scoops, piled high and finished with a cherry.

Shakes & Malts

Thick, hand spun, and served the way the fifties intended. Soft serve and hand dipped both welcome.

From the Fountain

Slushies, smoothies, and old fashioned fountain sodas for the boardwalk walk home.

Hot Dogs in a Hot Rod

The house snack special, served in its own hot rod. Ask for it by name.
