Lucy’s Creamery, Glassboro

Over the summer, this South Jersey creamery moved into a brand new spot just around the corner from Rowan University. Serving up all your favorite flavors, Lucy’s is home to some of the most creative sundaes in the area. Topped with candies, syrups, sprinkles, etc., their unique sundaes include The Funfetti (vanilla soft serve, blue raspberry hard shell, funfetti cereal, with pink marshmallow around the rim of the cup). Their most recent creation is the Spooktacular Sundae, your choice of any ice cream topped with Halloween candy favorites like Nerds, Snickers and Kit-Kats.

Willow & Whisk, Wyckoff

This new North Jersey brunch spot opened mid-summer, putting new twists on breakfast and lunch classics. Putting “thought and soul” into every bite, Willow & Whisk’s extensive menu includes Mini Brioche French Toast Bites (with a whipped cream cheese topping), a Poached Kale Caesar Salad (tossed in a lemon-Parmesan dressing) and a creative list of coffee drinks (like the Lemon Cold Brew Tonic and Nutella Latte). W&W is BYO, but they also offer mocktails like the Willijito—their spin on a classic mojito with lemon and basil. Open daily from 8 am–3 pm.
