When I think of soft serve, I immediately think of Kohr's.

Yes, it's technically custard, but I'm including it in the soft-serve family because I can.

There's something special about the combination of an orange vanilla cone on the boards while watching the ocean.

Kohr's has a history in the Garden State and has become a staple at the Shore.

We can't discuss ice cream without discussing The Bent Spoon in Princeton.

Many ice cream experts have ranked this parlor the best overall in the state.

That is a high honor, especially given the competition.

What makes them unique?

It comes down to their organic ingredients and wacky flavors.

Strawberry Horseradish, Buttered Popcorn, Garam Masala, Blueberry Mascarpone, and vegan Coffee Coconut are just a few examples.

Lifestyle website Cheapism crisscrossed the United States to find the best soft-serve ice cream parlors, and one New Jersey location was recognized.

I'll be honest: not only had I never heard of this soft-serve hotspot, but I had never even heard of the town.

Have you ever heard of Ledgewood?

It's a tiny town in Morris County with a population of just over 5,000.

After reading more about Ledgewood, I can see that it is a very tight-knit community, and this award-winning ice cream parlor is a popular hangout.

Congratulations to Cliff's Homemade Ice Cream for being named one of America's top soft-serve ice cream locations.
