Shrewsbury may be one of the Shore's most historic little towns, but its taste in dessert is timeless: homemade ice cream, close to home. Ryan's is about five minutes away at 462 Shrewsbury Ave in neighboring Tinton Falls — the road practically delivers you there.
That kind of proximity turns errands into traditions. A stop after shopping along Broad Street, a treat after practice, a Sunday-night cone that ends the weekend right — for Shrewsbury families, Ryan's is effectively the shop around the corner.
Why Shrewsbury makes the trip
Small batches are the whole point: two dozen homemade flavors made fresh, plus milkshakes, Italian ice, and 100% dairy-free Dole soft serve so nobody in the family is left holding an empty cone.
Birthdays sorted too — custom ice cream cakes with 48 hours' notice, five minutes from home. There are harder ways to become the favorite parent.
