Some things just scream summer in New Jersey. Late nights on the boardwalk, that first ocean dip, and of course, grabbing a cone (or two) of ice cream.

If you’ve ever spent time down the shore, you know how important those ice cream stops are. It’s part of the tradition. Sun, sand, and a scoop in hand.

When it comes to iconic New Jersey ice cream spots, few are as legendary as Hoffman’s.
