Fairmount Flavors

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (295) • $

"As the other Yelpers have mentioned, the sweets here are a bit of a splurge. But to me, they're worth it.Personally, I'm addicted to their slammers with lime Italian ice. I'm also a huge fan of their popular gelato custard with vanilla ice cream and mango Italian ice. On a hot day, there's nothing more satisfying than having a smooth, silky, and refreshing vanilla custard ice cream along with the sweet and tangy mango Italian ice. Service here is pretty quick. Even when there's a line, they don't take too long to serve each customer. And since it's a take-out only spot, don't expect to get a seat inside their shop since there isn't one. Fairmount is a beautiful neighborhood with lots of scenic areas to enjoy your icy treats though."

Richman's Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4 (48) • $

"The custard is the best! Quick service and plenty of parking. They have Philadelphia Water Ice which you can combine with custard for a gelati. Generous portions - the small was huge!"

White Horse Coffee & Creamery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (82) • $$

"This coffee is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Found this when my daughter was at Abington hospital having our first grandchild... love Jenkintown, my first apt was there years ago ... needed a good cold brew and hubby found this place ... it was the best ... always told everyone about this gem in Jenkintown, made me wanna move back to the neighborhood lol anyway I'm up in Bucks County and saw they now sell the brand at Bolton's Turkey farm market which is so close to me .... I was THRILLED! Made my first batch of cold brew with it and it was awesome !!! Thanks for having it available there ,"

Banana Mousse

★★★★☆ 3.5 (34) • $

"I've been wanting to try banana mousse forever, but everytime I drive by there's a long line outside and I finally found out why! The menu was limited but the options were interesting ranging from peanut butter flavors , cinnamon toast crunch to cookies and cream. They sell to-go pints and sundaes, but the owner suggested I get the milkshakes since I was traveling a bit to get them home. She was really sweet, too! I ordered the cinnamon toast crunch milkshake as well as a chocolate milkshake. I'm not the biggest chocolate ice cream person (don't judge me) but theirs was pretty rich! I also did enjoy my cinnamon toast milkshake having actual cereal at the bottom. I might start randomly putting cereal in my icecream to entertain my inner child. The $10 price point was a bit "wow" but overall I'll def be supportive!"

Sam’s Boardwalk Pizza & Dairy Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (21)

"How have I not reviewed Sam's before??This is the best pizza in Drexel Hill. I mean that. The sauce is sweet and the cheese is salty, and the crust is always perfectly done. It's never overcoooked or undercooked and they usually get your pizza out to you in lightning speed. Their cheesesteaks are also pretty good, not to mention super cheap for what you get! I don't think I've ever been disappointed in anything I've ordered here, and let me tell you I order things from here a lot. 5/5 great pizza, truly one of my favorites of all time!"

Willkay's Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.3 (10) • $

"This place is a hidden gem i think they have one of the best water ice and pretzel's in the City the pretzels are fresh and soft. And they have Mad Water ice flavors. This Spot is my go to in the City."

Twist Creamery

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Extremely impressed with this new cool trats spot, which offers great soft serve ice cream and even greater service. Portions were humongous compared to standard. The color changing spoon was a nice touch."

Matcha Cafe Maiko

★★★★☆ 4.4 (145) • $$

"Cute little shop ice cream was delicious would definitely bring my friends from out of town to try"

Vanderwende's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (38)

"I've had the peanut butter fudge crunch & milk & cookies ice cream at Vanderwende's. Both were outstanding. And they were served in generous scoops. You will get more delicious ice cream here than what you will get at its more well-known neighbor a block away. I live close by, and this will be my go-to spot for ice cream moving forward."

Tubby Robot Ice Cream Factory

★★★★☆ 3.8 (142) • $$

"My lil niece wanted ice cream after daycare and somehow myself, my sister, and the lil one ended up here. It's good ice cream. It's a small parlor. She was quite pleased. The service was quick. It was crazy clean! I know it's probably a MADHOUSE in there during the summer but on a day like that just drop in grab a scoop and enjoy a nice walk in town."

Vanilla Bean Custom Ice Cream and Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.2 (12)

"Always fun to find new (9 months of business so far) in the wayne area and be able to chat with the owner. There's coffee and ice cream! I loved the seating. Bigger side table if you wanna work on your laptop alone. and then seating along the edge of the place that had smallll tables. perfect for a coffee date or catch up with a friend! Truly enjoyed our "can you make a mocha on the sweeter side""

Pop's Homemade Water Ice

★★★★☆ 4.4 (72) • $

"I had the best water ice of my life at Pop's. It was peach, and it was perfect. Icy cold on a hot day, I didn't mind the brain freeze because it was so good. There were little bits of fresh peach, and it was delicious.Blueberry water ice was good. Husband got a gelati for a cold blueberries-and-cream treat. A small was just $2 and was perfect on a hot afternoon. I can't believe I'd never been here until now.My plan was to try all of the water ice places around the city. But after Pop's, it's going to be hard to go anywhere else."

Scoops 'N' Smiles Ice Cream & Water Ice

★★★★★ 4.7 (87) • $

"I was in Malvern right? The Main Line? I bought ice cream for 5 of us and my bill came to $18. That alone is worth a five star review! We came on a Sunday night, the temperature was legitimately 7 degrees. Wind chill of -3, what made the most sense? An ice cream trip of course!There was a friendly teenager working along with the owner. Both were great. Not just "oh let's talk weather" just a genuine man getting to know his customers. I loved his energy, the kind of owner who I wish nothing but success! Take my money!Now onto the actual product. I had the chocolate peanut butter banana. UMMM, wow. I had the kids cup and it was a generous portion but I could have easily eaten more! Soft, creamy and full of deliciousness, this stuff was GREAT. A creature of habit I don't think i can stray from that flavor on my next visit, it's too good to abandon so if you're reading this...you know what to do!If this place wasn't already of 5 star caliber I'd say that their "free toppings" would be the closer. I don't think I've ever been to an ice cream joint that 1. had free toppings and 2. It was self serve!Scoops and Smiles, thank you for existing, stay forever please!"

Paletas Y Helados Bambino

★★★★☆ 4.1 (18)

"What i beloved to be a quick ice cream stop turned out to be a 30m ordeal. They run on diesel or slow speed.Besides the slowness, there are no other issues. Ice cream is very tasty, food they serve is very typical for a Mexican ice shop. The paletas (ice pop) variety is large and the place is very clean.They need to improve on speed. More people they see the more money they make.It's crazy to make a line across the street to also have to make one here."

All Day Hoagies/ I scream for ice cream

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32)

"The hoagies are amazing, really takes me back in the day . Everything so fresh and the please get the seeded roll. I got a corned beef with the works ...They are the real deal. Only thing is I was there for an hour or so . They are getting swamped and they need more hoagie tech'swill be going back for the Italian Tuna and the gourmet Turkey."

Bassetts Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.2 (511) • $$

"Best ice cream I've had thus far in Philly. Grabbed a shake on my way to the airport. I have no shame...I finished it by the time I arrived to the terminal. Located inside the Reading Terminal Market, Bassett is family owned and has been in business at this spot for 4 generations, since 1892. There are several options to enjoy, cones, cup, shakes and pints to take home. The staff was helpful with suggestions but I made my own creation. A vanilla shake with chocolate swirls inside and caramel drizzle on top. That was some real tasty goodness. The line moved fairly quick and the atmosphere was great."

Scoop Affles

★★★★★ 4.5 (10)

"Finally got a chance to check this spot out. We weren't disappointed. The place was spotless! The girl who waited on us behind the counter was very courteous and friendly. Also met the owner, Tony, who thanked us for coming. He was a pleasure to speak with. Definitely check this spot out!"

The Weldon Fountain

★★★★☆ 3.9 (72) • $$

"Nice, local ice cream shop with amazing quality ice cream. I usually pot for chocolate but chose butter pecan and received the best butter pecan of my life. The pecans were candied and I've been thinking about it for days now. Service is efficient despite the fact the Ice cream is meticulously weighed to prevent overages. There are a couple of seats near the window and they offer dog treats for your furry companion. We'll definitely be back."

Paleteria Y Neveria La Sorpresa

★★★★★ 4.8 (13)

"This place is clean, bright and the owner who served us is very friendly and accommodating. They have an incredible selection of homemade ice cream and popsicles- some flavors you're familiar with and some that are probably new. You can try samples of everything. This is the same family that owns El Primo - so go there for dinner and come across the street for dessert. Great addition to the area!"

Chill On the Hill

★★★★☆ 4 (64) • $

"Yum!! Chill on the Hill is the place to go for some yummy frozen yogurt! It's cute, fresh and chill! What more could you need? I love the chocolate froyo with added hot fudge and brownies! Yum yum yum"

Michael's Water Ice

★★★★★ 4.7 (13) • $

"Some of the best water ice in Philly! I don't live in Philly anymore but this place will forever be on my must-visit list whenever I'm back in town. The gelati is my favorite thing to order.Also, the owner is awesome and always a pleasure to chat with. He really seems to love the local community/neighborhood and getting to know his customers. Great guy."

Scoop Deville

★★★★☆ 4.3 (26)

"To the owner: You wisely hired great, hard-working employees. Eric and Maurice I have met, along with a taller male Black employee (perhaps older than Maurice), and they are all very earnest and eager to make sure that I liked my ice cream. Very polite too. Seeing this across multiple employees helped me to see that their boss/owner knows how to hire the right people. It reminds me of Steve Jobs' quote about hiring "grade-A" people. Because if you hire grade-B people, they will soon make grade-C decisions, with grade-D consequences, and eventually your business will be a grade F. They work very hard when no one is looking over the shoulder. That is not common these days in the service industry. Congratulations!"

Pops Homemade Water Ice - Havertown

★★★★☆ 4.2 (20) • $

"And the battle rages on every summer in Havertown. Pop's is on Eagle road and fifty yards down the street is the local Rita's. When the weather is good they are both mobbed. Among Havertownians it's almost as bad as the Pats and Gino's cheesesteak war! Rita's has the big marketing budget on their side. Pop's relies on word of mouth.I live within walking distance of both and have visited both many times. In my opinion, in a blind taste test, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. They are both a fine summer treat."

Koffmeyer's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (58) • $

"The best ice cream, and the people who work here are so nice. It's like stepping back into time. I'm pretty sure this is the type of ice cream place Leave It To Beaver went to!"

Barone's Italian Water Ice And Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"Simply a wonderful local ice cream place. Dozens and dozens of sundaes, banana splits etc. Cash only. Bank on about 7 to 8 dollars a head so prepare accordingly"

South Philly Ice

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"Such a great spot! Customer service is excellent. Water ice is really yummy and they have milkshakes, cookie sandwiches, and soft serve too. Online times are not always correct. They are usually open afternoons into the night."

Fred's Water Ice

★★★★☆ 4.1 (50)

"Came here a week ago. The line was looooonnnng this day. Nothing new, but the person behind the counter had no sense of urgency. I had to buy like a gallon for a party and for some reason they gave me a hard time about it lol There are gallon buckets sitting in the back, just hand me one! lol The water ice itself was solid as usual. I still want to try one of their fancy pretzels but I didn't have the patience to wait another 15-20 minutes."

Chloe’s Corner

★★★★☆ 4 (86) • $

"This is our super casual date place. We like to ride our bikes here a couple times a month (it's about a 6.5 mile ride). Get an ice cream - relax and people watch - and ride home. I always get the same thing. Soft serve cone w jimmies. My bf varies what he gets every time - and every time he is happy w his result. This week he got a cherry gelati. But he has gotten sundaes and hard scooped flavors too. Everything has been great. Def don't miss out on this gem!!"

Coco's Cookies & Creamery

★★★★★ 4.7 (27)

"Great soft serve and their carnival food is piping hot and tasty too. They also have cheesesteak egg rolls that were fire. No place to eat inside, just a window to grab and go."

The Igloo

★★★★☆ 4.2 (159) • $

"I really love their raspberry sorbet and dairy free yogurt! Perfect for lactose intolerant or dairy allergies. Everything is priced by weight. I usually get coconut, Oreos, mochi, and fruit. They have some sitting tables outside and there's a small fountain. Even when it gets busy the service is quick. There's also a grab and go fridge with ice cream sandwiches!"

Harper's Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.8 (31)

"Another great small batch artisanal ice cream shop in Philadelphia, this one on West Girard Avenue in the Brewerytown neighborhood. First exposure was via the current Yelp Event granting a free scoop of their available ice cream flavors as an introduction to their amazing panoply of choices. I kvelled for the dual scoop of Strawberry and Carrot Cake creamies, finding the pink berry to be subtle, soothing and delicious, and the matrix of real carrot cake in vanilla bean to be engaging and delightful, although perhaps not as good as they would be eaten separately when the cream cheese icing would dominate. Nonetheless, the visit was rewarding with Mars providing the scooperonis with strong wrist and quick humor. I knew my family would be disappointed if I didn't think of them while in the store and bring at least one sample home. I found a pint of their private label Butter Pecan in the undersized retail freezer, and grabbed it knowing I would be welcomed home a hero for snaring her favorite flave. That was an underestimate of the response received. I couldn't tell which she loved more - the butter pecan dreamcream which was just exceptional, or me! She sure made a bigger fuss about the chill smooth dance party in her mouth, but I can't complain about how she expressed her gratitude to me later on. A win win win all around!"

La Guerrerense

★★★★★ 4.7 (11)

"La Guerrerense was an ice cream shop we stumbled on after we ate dinner in Philly. As soon as we walked in, we noticed how colorful the shop was which was very inviting. They were also playing music which put us in such a good mood. We were able to sample a few ice cream flavors, one being the Oreo which was also tasty, before deciding on the Ferrero which they explained was their chocolate ice cream. The flavors in the Ferrero were absolutely delicious, the chocolate flavor was rich and it was very creamy. The outside sign displays that their ice cream is 100% home made and it definitely tasted like it. All of the ice cream flavors were labeled in Spanish so we had to ask what each flavor was before trying it but I would definitely return to La Guerrerense again for sure."

Petrucci's Ice Cream & Water Ice

★★★★☆ 4.4 (61) • $

"Still as amazing as 20 years ago! We came back for a soft serve cone and the ice cream is still as smooth and creamy as ever. So glad that they reopened and are busy with families visiting the farm."

Just Homemade Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.3 (42) • $

"5 stars because the ice cream is perfectly homemade. Yes, it is staffed by teenagers so you just have to accept that. This isn't the Ritz folks :-)Considering the ice cream is homemade I am amazed at the variety offered. I've tried cones, sundaes, quarts to take home and the BF got an amazing Blueberry shake and talked about it all night. Just homemade is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking so go and have some great ice cream."
