Jersey Freeze — The Story
Jersey Freeze was founded in 1952 by the Blackmore family in Freehold, New Jersey — making it one of the longest-running ice cream and food stands in Monmouth County. In the 1970s it became a local go-to destination for both fast food and ice cream. Current owners Katie DiNonno and Matt Cangialosi purchased Jersey Freeze from Bruce Blackmore in 2014 and have expanded it from one to four locations across Central New Jersey.
The Bruce Springsteen connection is the most famous aspect of Jersey Freeze’s lore. Springsteen, who grew up in Freehold, has been a regular customer for decades. In 2022, Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi arrived together at the Freehold location — the Instagram photo went viral, cementing Jersey Freeze’s status as a pilgrimage destination for Springsteen fans visiting the area. Tripadvisor explicitly lists a Jersey Shore Springsteen itinerary that includes Jersey Freeze alongside Federici’s Restaurant and L & J Cafe.

Jersey Freeze — The Bruce Springsteen Connection
For Springsteen fans planning a Freehold pilgrimage, Jersey Freeze is one of three stops on the unofficial Bruce Springsteen Freehold itinerary:
- Jersey Freeze (120 Manalapan Ave) — Springsteen’s known ice cream stop. He appeared here with Jon Bon Jovi in 2022; owners Katie DiNonno and Matt Cangialosi were photographed with both rock stars.
- Federici’s Restaurant — Springsteen’s known pizza spot in downtown Freehold
- The Stone Pony (Asbury Park) — 20 miles east; the music venue where Springsteen got his start
Tripadvisor reviewers specifically mention driving from significant distances to combine a Springsteen historical tour with a stop at Jersey Freeze: “My girlfriend and I were on an unofficial tour of Bruce Springsteen’s childhood homes, bars/music venues where he got his start, and restaurants that he frequents hoping to bump into him — so of course we had to stop at his favorite ice cream spot!”

Jersey Freeze 2026 — Final Take
Jersey Freeze in 2026 is exactly what New Jersey wants it to be — a no-pretense, generous-portions, made-fresh-daily ice cream institution that has outlasted every trend in food retail for over 70 years. The chocolate milkshake is the reason people drive from three counties away. The hard ice cream flavors — Cappuccino Crunch, Black Raspberry — are the reason regulars can’t commit to just one visit. The Jersey Giant (beef burger + pork roll + cheese on a hard roll) is the reason New Jersey is New Jersey.
If you’re visiting on a Springsteen pilgrimage, get the chocolate shake. Get the Churzee Freeze boat. Get the Jersey Giant while you’re at it.
