Straight talk for the Bayshore: our Hazlet shop on Route 36, the Ryan's practically around the corner from Matawan, is temporarily closed. The good news is that the same family runs the same small-batch operation in Tinton Falls, about twenty minutes away at 462 Shrewsbury Ave.
For a town that sets its clocks by the Matawan train station, twenty minutes is nothing. Make it the payoff after a Main Street errand run or a lap around Lake Lefferts, and let the board of two dozen homemade flavors argue for itself.
Why Matawan makes the trip
Everything Bayshore regulars remember from Hazlet is on the board in Tinton Falls: homemade small-batch flavors, hand-spun milkshakes, Italian ice, and 100% dairy-free Dole soft serve.
Make the trip count: order a custom ice cream cake online ahead of time (48 hours' notice) and carry home hand-packed quarts, so the freezer holds you over between visits.
