OUR HISTORY

Over the years…

1997

Denae started out working at the sweet shop on the Point Pleasant Boardwalk in High School. She loved the business so much she managed the store while attending college.

2004

Denae opened her own Candy & Ice Cream store in Toms River, NJ which thrived for 14 years! Denae and her staff watched their loyal family’s children grow up and made lifetime friends and memories. Denae’s was the “go to” Sweet Shop.

2018

Sadly, after 14 years most of their beloved families fled the area due to demographic changes. Denae made the heartbreaking decision to close the shop’s doors.

2022

Denae launches Denae’s Sweet Shop online! Denae still makes the treats, and we are here to build ourselves back up so that we can bring the memories of Denae’s back to our loyal customers.

Brought home ice cream tonight for 1st time from Denae's for Valentine's Day for my family. I have been to some of the best places this ranked the highest for me so far. The peanut overload was amazing and my daughter loved the Oreo. Pretty shop, spotless, nice staff, delicious. What else more can you ask for?

- Mary Hille

Denae’s Ice Cream & Sweet Shop in Toms River is the best ice cream and candy in New Jersey! I have been to Hoffman’s and Sundae’s and they are ok but Denae’s is by far the best! The cleanliness of the shop is also worth mentioning. I assure you you will become a regular once you try it!
