43 Best Ice Cream Shops near Florence

“A nice ice cream window. No inside to sit at, but a number of tables on a clean patio.. and it across from the river and launch ramp. That also has a gazebo and seats...and nice views.

The extensive Debbie's menu is entirely ice creme ..the street has Italian, Chinese, etc.
BUT MY FAVORITE THING HERE IS: it has something like 30 flavors of SOFT ice creme any time you want!!!! Yup, coffee or. Raspberry or banana soft serve ...most any time“

“This is, without a doubt, the best Ice cream we have EVER had! And we have it EVERYWHERE we go!“

“Walked in thinking I’d get one scoop and ended up getting a pint to go! Tons of flavors and the staff let us sample as we had never been before. Ended up getting Honeycomb and Biscoff, so so good and great portions. Decided to get an espresso as well, which was a great roast. Ended up getting a pint to go filled with gelato!! Amazing staff and amazing recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again to try more flavors.“

“Great events and shops. I love Rancocas Woods.“

“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

“One of the best ice cream spots around! From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly, welcoming, and fast. They offer a great variety of flavors, and everything tasted fresh and high quality.

My absolute favorite was the Mango Water Ice it was incredibly refreshing, packed with real mango flavor, and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The texture was smooth, light, and perfect for a hot day. It’s definitely one of the best mango water ice treats I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors, but the Mango Water Ice will always be my first choice.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious frozen treat!“

“Has always been the best Ice Cream around. The taste is always consistent.“

“The ice cream is delicious, the staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Tonight we tried the S’mores hot chocolate which was a rich and yummy darker chocolate flavor with the top of the cup rimmed with toasted marshmallow. Highly recommend it on a cold night!“

“Ice cream fresh, delicious place is super clean and staff is friendly and helpful ❤️“

“I live walking distance from a Rita's water ice but choose to drive 15-20min to Mom's because they are better in every way than Rita's! They give bigger sizes and prices are cheaper and they have so much more selection of homemade ice cream, soft serve ice cream, and water ice in so many different flavors and combinations and Sundaes and Gelatis and milkshakes! Whatever you want, they got it!!! 👍🏼🍦🍨🍧🥤“

“i was at dq last night and there was a young male working there and he went above and beyond for my order and I really appreciate that ! His name might’ve been Brian, I’m not sure though sorry! i got a Cinnamon toast, crunch dip and a quart of vanilla ice cream with a cherry dip. he was helpful and was able to do exactly what i wanted. it was so good !“

“Has always been the best Ice Cream around. The taste is always consistent.“

“This place is so cute and the ice cream is amazing! There was a nice range of flavors, toppings, and cones including pink and purple ones. The ice cream is sweet and creamy and the shop itself has so much charm.“

“i really like to thank Chris for helping me with my cb radio in my class c rv he could have easily sold me something but instead showed me my radio was in wrong setting he changed the settings and did a radio check from his office and everything worked great he didn't charge me and wouldn't take the tip i tried to give him we drove from Toms River if i ever need cb service again i know where i'm going thanks again bobby k“

“Whew! The customer service in this place is 100/10. I met the nicest woman today that is an employee. It was my daughter and I first time going. It is extremely clean and the have kid friendly games and really good ice cream. Don't walk. RUN and go“

“The best water ice in the area! All of the flavors are homemade and delicious. The custard is also amazing. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This place is amazing! I love the unique flavors!!! I got the Santa flavor- vanilla ice cream with huge pieces of sugar cookies and red n green sprinkles! It is one of the best ice creams ive ever had and I eat a lot of ice cream lol. Everything is homemade and im excited to try their other flavors! Also the place is super cute with nice decorations and lots of cute chairs and benches to sit on to enjoy!“

“I love mixing flavors and trying new flavors. Blueberry will always be my favorite original flavor though.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“The rotating flavors keep every visit interesting— there’s always something new and delicious to try. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always happy to offer samples and help you find your next favorite scoop. Such a fun, feel-good spot!“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“I love bringing my grandchildren here!“

“*Edited - original review was for a different location, i am so sorry**

Location is great! Staff is friendly and their product is wonderful. Their variety of custard flavors blew me away. Our local location only ever has chocolate and vanilla. High recommended this Ritas!“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“This is my favorite place for frozen treats. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, the atmosphere is delightful whether you get take-out or eat your treats at a table. I'm happy they have not closed for the season and I hope that doesn't change. I missed Peachwave all last winter!“

“We came here last night around 8:00 for the first time and it did not disappoint. The ice cream was delicious and the servings are BIG. I got a small sundae which looked more like a medium/large. The cashier all the way to the right near the soft serve machines was very sweet and helpful and made some really good recommendations.“

“Best ice cream parlor around. You ask for extra, they give your extra!! No halfsies. I've tried other places and they ALWAYS disappoint. Gibbys NEVER does!!“

“Best Italian ice and gelatos , the kids love them“

“No matter when or what time of the day I stopped there everyone was pleasant and had the best customer service skills. If they didn’t have what I wanted which was rare Bryan would make it for me in minutes. So sad today there done. Have a safe winter see you all in the spring. Ps other Rita’s are open for a lil longer but other Rita’s definitely don’t taste like Bryan’s Rita’s.“

“After my trip through Rancocas State Park I was starving! I had bookmarked this place a long time ago and was excited and I remembered they were close by. They serve burgers, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, and some other special sandwiches as well as a full serve ice cream shop! They take cash only so be prepared, if not they have an ATM on premises. The young woman behind the counter was extremely polite. She had a beautiful smile on her face. The whole time I was there. The business was busy yet she continued to smile, walked around the entire restaurant and checked on her customers as well as took out the trash and many other various chores. I ordered a cheesesteak and fries. And we're not talking. Just a little steakum on a bun, this was an actual beef steak with a generous amount, and an entire plate of french fries. Fries they look like McDonald's fries except much crispier and a lot less saltier. If you're ever in the Mount Holly area and are just looking for a good burger and some fries followed by a milkshake or ice cream, this would be the place!“

“Nelson would be proud! Stopped in today and couldn’t be happier. Yardville Carvel is back to being the BEST! We will definitely be stopping in more often. 😊🍦“

“Last Dairy Queen in the area. Great icecream and other cold treats. Very friendly staff who have worked there for years! Hurry up and visit before they close for the winter.

Parking: Large free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the window and order.“

“I had the Reese’s Peanut Butter Mudslide, and it was good

The two girls at the counter in the evening of the Fourth of July were very nice and friendly

Four stars instead of 5 only because it was more expensive than I anticipated it would be – for about the same price, it feels like Coldstone provides a little more ice cream“

“I've always loved Rita's! my daughter got to finally enjoy a piece of heaven from my childhood. Family of 7. 4 of them experienced Rita's for the first time ever. We make it our mission to go twice before we leave.“

“i’d give more stars if i could , they are so kind and sweet. especially liz ! in my opinion she needs a promotion,or better pay because she always goes above and beyond. her customer service is impeccable. they also have such a good variety of ice’s and custards. highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake cream ice, and the pistachio custard. (but seriously give liz a raise and some recognition😊)“

“Love all there vegan options“

“Every Rita's has different flavors! I love that my #1 location (Feasterville) always has best fruity flavors, my #2 location (Neshaminy) had all the best NEW flavors, and now I have a #3 (Penndel). They got flavors that I haven't seen in a long time! A little pricey for the sizes of products, but that's expected in the current political & economical climates.

*What started as a communication of rudeness and negativity, turned into a mutually apologetic conversation where both parties accepted their roles and responsibilities in creating the previous negativity.*

All things aside, this location will definitely stay as my #3 for a long time, or at least until another location knocks it off...“

“We always have such a great experience at Red Berry! Everything is always delicious, clean and the staff is so friendly. My daughter absolutely loves going there for a special treat! Would highly recommend for those froyo lovers out there!“

“I love the brownie chocolate cream ice. The owner is so helpful and kind“

“The nice young guy who served is on Sunday 6/2 just after opening could not have been more attentive and nice. A second employee came and he was just as good when I asked him for lids. He made sure I had the right size. Both a pleasure. Our gelatos were done perfectly as well!“

“We had been to multiple other ice cream places, it was getting late and we had given up on getting ice cream. We found this place and although they seemed to be closing up they welcomed us in without any hesitation. The icecream was fantastic, the staff were friendly, the whole place was super neat, clean and tidy. The decorations were cute, great ambience with a charming, tasteful aesthetic. Totally recommend. It was a port in a storm, on a night when our ice cream dreams had been all but dashed“

“I finally got my order right every time I go I get something different and it's not correct I'm more of the five layer gelati but what I really like is how the young people are so polite and professional. you can't help but to put a dollar or two into the college fund. we show our young people respect and teach them respect they give it to us in return. Rita's is the bomb.com“
