One of the most popular places in Bergen County, and Teaneck specifically, is Bischoff’s Ice Cream and Confectionary. Originally opened in the 1800’s in New York City, Bischoff’s moved to Cedar Lane in Teaneck in the 1930’s where is still stands today.
Sadly, due to the difficult state of the economy and rising costs throughout the supply chain, the 4th Generation owners of Bischoff’s have decided to permanently close the beloved shop at the end of this year.

The restaurant states that they have done more business over the last three weeks since they announced they were closing, then all of the summer combined. We as a society tend to take places like this for granted — they seemingly have stood the test of time, and assume they are always going to be there. Unfortunately time, and the economy, has caught up with Bischoffs. Follow them on facebook for daily updates regarding what flavors they have in stock that day, and for their operating hours. They recently needed to reduce hours in order to meet demand — the lines have been so long and the supply has been depleted earlier and earlier each day, forcing the ice cream shop to close by 6pm in order to make new batches for the next morning.
