Hoffman’s is a Jersey Shore institution. Based out of Point Pleasant (where their sweet treats are made), Hoffman’s also has locations in Little Silver, Spring Lake, and Long Brach. They got their start in 1955, as one of the original New Jersey Carvel Ice Cream stores. By 1976, the business evolved into Hoffman’s – an independent ice cream shop. They’ve gained national recognition over the years for their fantastic homemade flavors and friendly service.

Hoffman's is home to over 30 fun flavors including Cookie Monster (vanilla with Oreos AND cookie dough), Sea Salt Caramel Latte, Strawberry Bon-Bon, and Brownies A La Mode.
