A La Mode Ice Cream in Ocean City

saw some reviews about the bad work environment. Its kids. Get over yourself. They are working hard at a summer job and offer amazing icecream and service.

Hostess was stressed (?) and abrupt. Maybe end of season blahs...

Great ice cream

Let me tell you about this ice cream store! My wife and I were craving some ice cream so we decided on A La Mode. The ice cream was outstanding! It was sugar free and tasted as good as regular or even better! I wish I lived in Ocean City so I could go all the time! Go here!

Poor service.

The best ice cream place on the South end by far! To be honest, I've read some of the reviews saying people are rude here and I just simply do not agree. Sure they may have young workers there, but here on the island the majority of small business workers are you doing highschoolers. Having a college-aged manager doesn't make her any worse at her job. I'm a local and I know you guys are just doing your best with the amount of rushes you guys get 9-11 on weekend nights. Some people say it may be pricey, but it's not much more than anywhere else. Some people also say the amount it cost to the actual amount of ice cream you get is too small, but again, I think the amount of ice cream you get is just right, and frankly it's too much for me. So to finish off, you guys have amazing ice cream, and you're doing just great.

Great ice cream! Love the cotton candy!

Great Ice cream!

Great south end spot...traditional ice cream shoppe (no soft serve, just scoop ice cream, sundaes and shakes). Gets very busy some evenings, but they move pretty quick, will come out with menus and take orders while you're waiting in line.... Heads up: cash only.

Very friendly employees! Met the manager and got to talk about how their ice cream is home made and their story behind the ice cream. The ice cream was absolutely delicious. We have been going here since I was a kid and it is a cherished memory of always going out to a la mode

It was ok. Just ok. The ice cream, although "homemade" was mediocre at best and it is extremely expensive. Expect to spend over $8 on a single dessert. They tried to charge someone $14 for 1 milkshake! Outrageous! Avoid this place.

Thanks to Joe's recommendation it was very good!

Unkind when taking our order, did not repeat back, got order wrong, ice cream took forever and all we got was 3 small cups (no toppings) and a milkshake. Really overpriced. Did not have appropriate to go containers despite only doing to go. Don’t go here. The place is a disaster and the ice cream is meh.

I used to come to a la mode all the time. I hadn’t been back to the beach in a couple years and I got a la mode and was very much disappointed. Ice cream was delicious but they have significantly decreased the size of the sundae to make it not even close to being worth the crazy price. A couple years ago I could split an FBI with my husband. Today I could finish my sundae by myself with room in my belly to spare. Just disappointing that the price is as high as it is and I’m barely getting ice cream. I will not be going back to a la mode. Too much of a rip off at this point. Mikes soft serve from here on out.

I drove 40 blocks to try this. Definitely worth it best ice cream on the island!

The ice cream was good. Wife does not think so. I know mistakes happens, but when I order and paid for 2 ice cream cones and only get 1.... Then ask for it and everyone did know what I was talking about. The employees ref to the invoice they wrote and seen it was a order for 2. I'm good, just un-necessary confusion.

I've been coming to this ice cream parlor for over 35 years. When I was a kid I came here with my grandparents. I came back again for the first time in a long time this past weekend and I was happy to see that not much had changed. I've read reports about unpleasant service but I did not experience that myself. I was very pleased and had a great time.

First time going to this business and I will never go back. I Felt very rushed with numerous high school student workers standing there clicking pens and having their arms crossed upon entering. It was not a welcoming atmosphere. The prices were outrageous I spent nearly $18 for 2 of their featured specialty sundaes. Ice cream was fine -no issues with the product at all. Aside from price the business could improve significantly if the workers seemed like they actually wanted to be there and didnt make the experience feel so rushed.

Don't trust places that don't take credit and don't have restrooms if there is waiter service. This always strikes me as suspicious. Ice cream was good but pricey. Won't be back.

Best ice cream on the island. They are taking outside orders and calling names when ready with a box of your order. They are working hard and doing the best they can. Menu is on outside walls. Expect a wait during summer.

Amazing Homemade Brownies to go with a scoop of coffee ice cream. Fast Service. Delicious homemade ice cream and shakes

Homemade ice cream great birthday cakes

Never in the history of teenagers have teenagers run a smoother operation. Well done, folks.

I got there and was immediately greeted by a small ginger boy working the register. He was very polite and had a really sweet smile. More impressive was his dealing with the two or three customers before me in line. Both were loudly complaining to him about things completely out of his control, and if I had my way I would've confiscated their wallets and asked them to leave, but he just smiled and listened to their nonsense. I ordered a cone with 8 scoops, which isn't even on their menu, but he took my order and had the scoop boys make it up. I left with a waffle cone with one scoop from every single flavor they had. I threw it on the windshield of the car of the woman who was being so difficult when I got there.

Fantastic homemade ice cream! Be warned it is rather pricey, but sharing a two scoop will be well worth it!

May have the best ice cream at the shore.

workers treated me like i was below them and was dumb. ice cream was okay but service was bad

Great homemade ice cream! Portion size is generous. Great stop if you are in OCNJ.

Delicious homemade ice cream and really great service!

Place could use a lesson on customer service. When ordering ice cream, it's like you interrupted the social hour of all the middle & high school students gossip. Overpriced for the portion, but decent ice cream. First time coming here in a few years and we won't be back.

Horrible service. Owner is the nastiest person I’ve ever met. I will never return.

Very good ice cream. Waitress was so attentive. Our favorite ice cream place. Girl that scooped our ice cream did a great job too.

By far, the best ice cream on the island. Homemade. They actually have double chocolate chip. I dont usually like other flavors except chocolate, but i LOVE the other flavors they have...black raspberry is amazing!

My wife and I stopped in for some ice creamThe ice cream was good the attitude of employees was poor at Best.I wanted a glass of plain water (sink) was told you can buy a bottle. All I wanted was to clear the overly sweet taste.Was given a negative response we then told the employee to ask manager a conference was convened in back room than was told no Water cups. We asked again then begrudgingly we we shown a small ice cream cup we said ok.This is the second poor review in years.Moral give a customer Water

Honestly some of the worst service I've had at any restaurant. We both ordered off the rainy day special and weren't told til we had to pay that the rainy day special wasn't being offered today (even though it says every day 2-4:30). The only place a "sampler" is mentioned is on the rainy day special menu. Why did she not correct us when we ordered? We went many times the last few years and this experience was so bad, we won't be back.Having an immature college student as a manager is probably not the best idea, she just tried to talk down to us.This was our favorite place to get ice cream on the island, but honestly the prices and the service just aren't worth it. The two guys in front of us got milkshakes with one topping that were $8+ each. Our order was $15, instead of the combined $8 from the special menu (for two people!).There's too many other good ice cream places around to put up with service and prices like these.

Over priced, ice cream wasn’t that impressive. Ice cream cone..... was in a cup with cone stuck on top.Older women out front was rude...

Ice cream is important... and theirs was tasty, traditional, I got the peanut butter swirl which was very good, vanilla based. My partner got the same thing, because they were out of the brittle kind he wanted. Both in cones, brought out also in cups with spoons, you know... upside down. Okay. Thanks.🙄 I get it, it's hot out. Its summer. It's a pandemic. We had masks, we waited, we paid.. PRICEY FOR ICE CREAM 16$ for 2 Ice creams... tho, he had a waffle cone, a dollar more, I had a sugar cone. Still... PRICEY. And honestly, I know, it's a pandemic, but attitude still shows thru the masks, and the young woman was quick to cut me off when I asked my question about if it was vanilla based, and only because we are in the food industry did we tip.. for that money, we can go down the street where it's a bit more personable..

mean pony tail with bow ice cream lady. very pushy.

Never not busy but always worth it. Quick tip, they only accept cash.

Family favorite!!

We were greeted/scolded by the ice cream bouncer at the door who had to decide where we would sit even though there was only one other family in the place. Taste 2/5..portions 2/5...value 2/5 20 miserable kids behind the counter 1/5. Who puts salted pistachios in ice cream?

Delicious ice cream! Price is a bit high for two scoops.

Very small portions for the price. I know your at the beach but when you weigh your ice cream before serving to make sure you didn't scoop too much, that's a problem..no thanks. Not all that.

Ice cream is ice cream, you can't really mess it up. So while yes it tasted good, it wasn't worth the $6 for the 1/4 of a waffle and tiny scoop they put on top... And an extra $2 for whipped cream a topping? No. Not worth it at all. Then you have the customer service. This place was empty and I went to sit down at one of their tables to eat and within 30 seconds a lady told me to leave because they're for waitress service only... but as I said there was no one else in there. Let me sit and eat! I was interested in trying this place, and I will never go back. Choose a different ice cream place

Great icecream and very friendly service, lots of smiles

To start: The ice cream tastes mediocre. The price was $23+ for 3 ice creams. There were multiple people running the place. It was well run, but the one female employee was rude. She told us to move over when we clearly didn’t have anywhere else to move. As for the ordering system (due to COVID-19), it was very smooth! I appreciated the precautions and order they kept despite the unusual situation. The main points are-Mediocre ice cream that is overpriced. Staff is pretty much friendly. It wouldn’t be my number one choice but it does the trick if you are near 55th street and don’t want to go far for dessert.

The specialty sundaes are overwhelmingly delicious

Great ice-cream at the expected high resort prices

Great homemade icecream, wide selection of flavors plus sugarfree, friendly and welcoming
