Morrone's Water Ice

This place was good when I was a kid and just as good as an adult. The water ice there is no comparison. And the pretzels were awesome. They come without salt so you easily add them since they have salt available. This is now a must stop every time I come to Philly. If you haven't stopped here I don't know what's holding you back. Just go, forget your diet and enjoy life.

Morrone's is that old school, neighborhood water ice spot that screams West Philly, when you think of West Philly you basically think of Morrone's water ice!I love that their prices are super reasonable you can definitely get you a water ice and a pretzel for under 5.00 They also sell milkshakes, banana splits gelatos and funnel cakes. My nephew enjoyed his vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.So if your ever in the West Philly area check this place out, perfect for the kids or if you just want to have some dessert or a snack. Come to Morrone's and get you a mango or piña colada water ice with a pretzel on the side!

What can I say about Marrones other than the fact that it is a hidden gem. It is a Philly staple and we are lucky to have it close by. The line can get long, but worth it!

This is a "around the way" spot, I've have been coming here since I was a child. Management has changed since then, but the product remains consistent. The employees are always kind and if the sun is shinning bright they are open. On hot days the line can be pretty long and there is a considerable wait. They have all the typical waterice flavors, soft served ice cream , pretzels and other carnival foods.

So glad that Morrone's was represented at the Red Ball and that I got to try a little bit of heaven. This was the best water ice that I have ever had - by far! I wasn't sure by their branding if it is called Mr D's or Morrone's but according to this it is Morrone's. I was looking them up since I need to know where I can get more of this delicious water ice. I was able to try several flavors at the Red Cross Red Ball and with a whole slew of deserts from several different vendors at the Red Ball this was the one and only that i kept coming back to. On top of it all of the employees there were super friendly. According to the business card that I just found they do catering, block parties and cook outs! I wish I was throwing a big summer party just so that I could hire them! They even have water ice with alcohol -what more can I say! Thank you Morrone's!

This is not the Morrone's of yesteryear. My father and his brothers all used to operate water ice trucks under the original John Morrone Sr. Me and my cousins used to run all up inside of the building: watching the water ice being made, helping out at the window and on our parent's trucks. The treats were wonderful!!Apparently, Mr. Morrone and his son decided to retire to Aruba and sell water ice there. These new people who own it have the made the water ice something else. You don't get what you pay for and the portions are smaller. There is NO way a banana boat should be $7. My dad and I visited on our way back to his. We stopped because I wanted a pretzel with cheese, spicy mustard and salt. It cost $1.75The kid behind the counter was going to put my pretzel in the microwave. I had to stop him from ruining the pretzel. The cheese to spicy mustard to salt ratio was way off. I had to reach behind the window to add more spicy mustard and salt. The prices are not what they used to be (I know EVERYTHING costs more), but you're not getting a lot for the high price. If I'm going to be paying through the nose, then the product should be just as quality.Also... please stop using those supermarket plastic cups for the water ice. Mr. Morrone actually had cups with the business name on it.I'm not sure if I would return. Maybe ‍

Cherry Water ice and Mango Water ice was horrible. Tasted like a bad syrup used for Cherry. Bad after taste ! Not The Old Morrone's from back in The Day !

Purchase: Small, fruit punch water ice Price: $1Opinions & comments: At first I did not know what to expect, but all I can say is this place is GREAT! The texture of the water ice was very smooth, almost like ice cream but not creamy. The fruit punch flavor was not overly sweet and the size small was only $1. That's at least 3 scoops. You can't go wrong!

They are extremely flavorful, and very well priced. They also sell a lot of extras like pretzels and hot dogs. It's definitely worth seeking out on a hot day.

I just got my gelato and a cheese pretzel and I love the there cheese pretzel and mango water ice
