31 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hockessin

“Always a wonderful experience and easily our go-to place for ice cream despite being a good 20-25 minutes away! The staff is eager and welcoming.
The inside space is relatively small so large groups (5+ persons) can feel a bit crowded especially if others are still waiting on their order.
Management’s goal is to keep the customer flow going so it helps to have your order in mind well before you step inside. This is made easier with the their flavors posted a few places along the path to the entrance.

Any food allergies mentioned are shown immediate consideration either by your server verifying the listed ingredients in the huge binder they keep on hand or at least in offering to change the scoop (dipper) to avoid the chance of cross contamination.

Peak hours in the nice weather (especially Saturday afternoons in summer) often equate to lines well into to the parking lot although it generally moves at a consistent pace. At such times, finding a place to sit may prove to be a challenge, but there’s plenty of room to walk about and enjoy the “farm” atmosphere. A fun little game is to observe how far some visitors may have traveled. We’ve seen license plates from IA, MA and even AZ the summer months! The word has definitely gotten out that when visiting the area, Woodside Farm Creamery is a must visit!“

“So glad you were open for our Sunday drive!!!“

“Had lunch there today, everything was great!“

“Very delicious ice cream! Great location, Awesome unique flavors served every way you can imagine. staff are super friendly and helpful. we'll definitely be back to try more flavors .10/10 recommend. thank you!“

“Excellent, quick service. AMAZING assortment of flavors.
They had Senor Pepper Float (Dr Pepper flavored sorbet mixed with vanilla ice cream) and it tasted EXACTLY like a Dr Pepper float. Best flavor I've ever had in my life. Will be going again/regularly as my ice cream spot after Longwood.“

“This ice cream parlor should really be much better known than it is. There are so many unique flavors. You can get corn ice cream and sprinkle chili powder on it. You can get coconut crunch and sprinkle cinnamon on it. In fact cinnamon tinges many of their prepared ice cream.

The staff were very attentive and friendly. They were extremely patient with my partner and she sampled practically everything in the store. 10-day scooped out some really generous portions for us. The chips and trunks mixed in with ice cream were in January's proportion also. The ice cream is really premium.

My only complaint is that there is no indoor seating. On a hot day you'll be running back to your car for air conditioning to keep your ice cream from melting in your hands. They do have some outdoor bench seating but East State Street is an incline and you'll be sliding down the bench.

Overall the I heartily recommend this ice cream parlor and encourage you to stop in and try some of the unusual flavor selections. It is well worth a slight detour if you are going north or south on US route 1 to make a stop in the historic district shopping district of Kennett square where this.“

“The ice cream and waffles were delicious today. The girl in the counter kind of busy and serious, might be she was worried. Did not like that we were right in front of her station and called the next in line… like ignoring us.
Well too bad took the blessings and the ice cream with me.“

“This place is amazing! Our family avoids food dyes and limits HFCS but my kids really wanted water ice. Fuscos to the rescue! My kids LOVED it and we took a pint of apple cider donut ice cream to go.“

“Gelato spectacular! If you have not tried the gelato made here with a Mexican recipe then you’re missing out. I went and I was so pleasantly surprised. I am going to return as soon as possible even though I know I need to watch my sugar. It was so good, so delicious and the staff was so accommodating and positive, Happy and Wonderful!Everyone who is local should support this business. I certainly will. I’m so happy I did today and thank you for everything even the taste of cheese!“

“I understand what all the hype is about and its absolutely worth the drive. I got an corn cup that was spicy and cheesy in the best way. The strawberries and creme was seasoned to perfection. The pineapple and cucumber lime aguas were perfectly sweet and flavorful. The lime popsicle and milkshake was basic in the most Hispanic way and I am never going anywhere else for ethnic snacks ever again. Im glad I found you. Your newest loyal customer“

“Great series, friendly staff, food was delicious and served quickly“

“My husband likes their water ice and my daughter likes their gelato. I like some of the delicious flavors they offer, especially the tangerine, which they dont have often enough! Would go back again but sometimes, it can be a bit pricey for a family of 4.“

“The cookies are ALWAYS delicious!!! This particular store is always packed with staff and customers. Although I have yet to be welcomed or greeted when I've come in this store, I can tell they are always busy. I wish the employees at this store would make more of an effort to be friendly, smile, and just be pleasant. If I felt as welcomed as the cookies taste, this could be a 10 star review.“
