Here's the secret Ocean Township doesn't have to keep: Ryan's isn't near your town — it's in it. Our shop sits in the Oakhurst section on Route 35, which makes homemade ice cream a neighborhood errand for Wanamassa, Wayside, and every street in between.
That's why Ryan's ends up woven into Ocean Township routines — the after-dinner walk-in, the post-practice reward after a game at Joe Palaia Park, the Friday tradition that nobody remembers starting but nobody's willing to end.
Why Ocean Township makes the trip
Since 1988, the promise has stayed the same: ice cream made fresh in small batches, plus custom cakes, milkshakes, Italian ice, and 100% dairy-free Dole soft serve — so every kid, grandparent, and picky eater in the car finds something.
Being the hometown shop is a responsibility we take seriously: when the scoop counter is five minutes from your door, it had better be worth walking to.
