BERKELEY, NJ — In the middle of July, when the sun is blazingly hot, there's nothing better than a sweet, refreshing ice cream cone.

National Ice Cream Day falls on July 16, and Patch has all the info you need to find the perfect scoop.

Though relatively new to the game, Patch readers recommend The Sweet Shack for anyone seeking a delicious treat.

Not only is their ice cream great, the owners are incredibly friendly and helpful.

If you haven't checked them out, visit them at 1035 Atlantic City Blvd.

Not only does their extensive menu have a variety of unique flavors like "barking pretzel" and "chocolate ecstasy," they also serve Dole Whip, vegan flavors, Italian ice and no sugar added ice cream.

The menu also includes coffee, lattes, refreshers and tons of add-ins.
