Dreams Ice Cream at Glenside

You might have the new local realtor on your side but your "ice cream scoop shop" is sketch. And that's going easy on this joint. During our visit we managed to get poor service and borderline acceptable ice cream. I feel lucky that I escaped without some kind of serious food borne illness. I would be very curious to view what the health board reports are on this place in the past few years. This place is a bodega. Repeat after me: BO-DE-GA. Many other scoop shops in the area to even entertain EVER going back to this dumpster fire of a business.

$17.00 dollars for a milkshake!!!! Never in all my life would I have ever expected to pay $17.00 dollars for an overspun, middle of the road, basic banana pudding milkshake. I made the mistake of placing the order without knowing the price. I think I looked at the board and convinced myself it was less because the actual price is beyond ridiculous. Imagine my shock. And on top of that, they have the audacity to ask for a tip but I guess if you're willing to pay a total of $16.91 you may as well round up to $20. Never again!!!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Dreams. The proprietors are probably the most welcoming and friendly people we've ever met. And their ice cream (especially the vegan flavors) are so delicious and creamy. It's without a doubt the best vegan ice cream I've ever had and, being lactose intolerant, I've sampled plenty in my day. I had vanilla and chocolate peanut butter. I couldn't tell the difference from dairy ice cream. Surprisingly it was not overly sweet and had no aftertaste like the majority of vegan ice creams I've had. My husband had the rum raisin and chocolatefudge brownie. It was so good he considered going back for another double scoop cup. If you live in the area or happen to be going to the Keswick, bypass the place next to the theater and head over to Dreams. You won't be disappointed. We'll probably do a road trip from Bristol in a few week. Yes, it's that good!

Came here again today and ice cream was still freezer burnt and it was $15 for 3 scoops of ice cream with whipped cream. Won't be back. Too expensive and quality not good. Shame because the staff are nice, and it's a cute location.

My family and I came here because a few of them already tried their ice cream, and enjoyed it. It was my first time. Parking: street or a lot down the street. This location is very small so be prepared to wait outside. Ice cream: I chose the vanilla ice cream sundae with wet walnuts, cherry, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. It was rich and good. My Mom had blackberry vegan ice cream and I tasted it and it was pretty good. They also sell other snacks and offer a few vegan options. I felt the prices were a little too high. Enjoy.

Small inside but ice cream is great! Family owned business worth visiting. Student discounts and home made food!

This is the best ice cream I've had since moving to Wyncote. It's a small shop but there are so many flavor choices and the woman running it is absolutely the sweetest person.

Exceptionally helpful staff. Free tastings. Hugh portions. Dozens of flavors to choose from

Had a simple order. 2 small cups. 2 different flavors. 1 with hot fudge. The girl doing the scooping was nice but moved at a snails pace. So disappointing that the hot fudge was a squeeze bottle that she put in the microwave. Who knows how many times that bottle has been heated and cooled. The girl at the register couldn't figure out what to charge despite the simple order. It took her literally 4-5 minutes to ring me in and that was after asking the other girl twice what I bought while i stood there with my ice cream melting. Worst of all, the owner is sitting outside scrolling on his cell phone while the store is busy and employees who aren't trained are struggling. I want to support small local businesses but this makes it nearly impossible.

I want to give five stars to the entire staff who work and serve the ice cream and treats at Dreams. Always greeted with smiles, patience while you decide and the ice cream and water ice are above average. A bit expensive but as a treat, well worth it.
