1168 Boardwalk, Ocean City, NJ 08226


Overview

JiLLy's Ice Cream Factory sits at 1168 Boardwalk near 12th Street, one of nine storefronts the Levchuk family runs on the Ocean City boards; Jill Kreisberg and Paul Levchuk opened JiLLy's Arcade in 1976 and added the ice cream parlor in 1984. The counter turns out 16 hand-dipped flavors, eight soft-serve flavors and more than 50 toppings, plus old-fashioned milkshakes, ice cream sodas, fresh-squeezed lemonade and the ChiLLy JiLLy, soft serve blended with candy or fruit. Regulars swear by the peanut butter vanilla sundae. Unlike most boardwalk stands it opens through winter when weather allows, so a cone after skee-ball works in any season.
