50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Magnolia

“Been coming here since I was 10 years old, 27 years later it’s still amazing.“

“Pasta making class Olivia was excellent. She understands the regions of Italy and was able to prep and explain with ease and grace. A participant asked about cacio e pepe, which was not on the agenda, and Olivia quickly prepared the basic but difficult to nail sauce. It was spot on. Would def recommend HBB to friends and family. One suggestion though - supplying guests with aprons would be helpful!“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Van Leeuwen Ice Cream – A Love Letter in Every Scoop

If heaven had a freezer, it would be stocked with Van Leeuwen.

I came in for a treat and left with a religious experience. Their Coffee Affogato flavor is everything an espresso-lover dreams of—intensely bold, silky, with that creamy finish that wraps your tongue like a velvet curtain call. It’s not just coffee ice cream—it’s an Italian café pressed into a cone.

Then there’s Pistachio—not the artificial neon green kind, but the real-deal roasted pistachio essence. Nutty, rich, and quietly luxurious. It’s like they churned up a Mediterranean summer and handed it to me in a biodegradable cup.

But the showstopper? Marionberry Cheesecake. A fever dream of tart berry swirls and thick cheesecake folds, each bite a layered masterpiece. It’s tangy, it’s sweet, it’s slightly sinful—and completely addictive.

The staff were kind, the shop smelled like toasted sugar and happiness, and every flavor felt like it was made to be somebody’s favorite.

Glowing doesn’t even begin to cover it—Van Leeuwen is a shrine to the art of ice cream. Run, don’t walk.“

“I knew their cyclone machine was down, but I insisted upon one anyway. What I received was a beautiful work of art. My experience at twist was delightful because of the staff outstanding performance and eagerness to please customers. Five stars out of five! Way to go above and beyond yall!“

“10/10!! Cereal swirled ice cream??? Sign me up! I checked out swirl’in ice cream & cereal bar for the first time today and it was AWESOME! The concept of putting fun cereals that I haven’t had since I was a kid into ice cream was so unique and fun- a must try!! The owner is inviting and passionate. Can’t wait to go back and try another fun concoction!“

“My new favorite place this summer!“

“Best pretzel I have ever tasted and at a great price!“

“Our favorite is the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream😋😋“

“My favorite place for ice cream!!!“

“I absolutely love Kilwins in Midtown Village. I came across this location early this year after going for wine with some friends at Vintage Wine Bar. I got some of the butter peanut ice cream, fudge for my little ones, and chocolate covered pretzels. When I tell you that ice-cream hit! It's so fresh and not too sweet. The hand dipped Graham crackers, pretzels, Rice crispy treats are divine! The seafood chocolates were so good. The chocolatier explained it as having the same consistency the inside as a butter finger. He was so spot on. It was such a different kind of chocolate experience. Lori the owner and her crew are so welcoming and friendly. A trip to Kilwin's is worth every cent!“

“One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had anywhere. Hands down. (Two ultimate favs are the Earl Grey with Honeycomb and the Pistachio. Just perfect.)“

“I came here while visiting Philly and it is such a good find! They have such fun ice cream flavors and it’s constantly changing. I had lemon crème ice cream which had lemon bar pieces in it and it was so unique and delicious. Will be coming back when I’m in town again.“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Handmade ice cream with real ingredients. Lena’s has the best ice cream made from scratch by the owner. I have never had a bad flavor of ice cream, and I’ve tried almost all of them. Great ice cream shop with fantastic ownership and staff. Wishing Lena’s nothing but success, because I would be crushed if they were not there.“

“We went after a show at the theater. It was very busy, but we were at the register in under 5 minutes. The staff working today (5:30pm) were all so friendly, and kept the line moving efficiently. My daughter loved her ice cream!“

“Had a great day with my kid. Ended the evening at Weckerly’s. The Ice Cream Sandwiches were great. Fun time, highly recommended.“

“Super good and great pricing“

“I really enjoyed myself I will be back“

“I tried this ice cream place with my 5 year old little boy tonight for the first time ever and was excited! My son enjoyed his ice cream, but I was sadly disappointed with having ordered the hot fudge sunday only to receive vanilla soft serve with chocolate syrup and NOT actual HOT FUDGE, which I was expecting on a $6 hot fudge Sunday. 😞. If I wanted chocolate syrup over soft serve, I would have ordered that. I had an infant with me as well and that's WHY I didn't walk all the way back up from my car with two young kids to see if it could be fixed. I'm not sure I will be returning or able to recommend this place to anyone else. I was surprised because I had seen good reviews on this business but for my first time to have this happen, that wasn't impressive or good at all. 👎☹️“

“I visited Cold Cow for the first time after passing by it for years. The girls taking orders and serving were very friendly and the soft serve twist was absolutely delicious!“

“Without a doubt, the best Italian Water Ice around!“

“I love this place all the yummy 😋 ice cream“

“I'm obsessed w/Malai's flavors particularly the Masala Chai and Sweet Roti. But for the love of God, please invest in a paper covering for all pints.“

“We tried the chocolate chip cookie skillet with vanilla ice cream and it was delicious! We also tried a peanut butter cookie skillet with the salted caramel ice cream and that combination was an absolute Star ⭐️ The cookies are freshly baked to order, Highly recommend! If you are in the Merchantville area, definitely check these guys out. The shop is clean and family friendly! 😃“

“Like this place! Found it in the mists of craving ice but healthier- not much healthier but like to think so! 🙃😆 really just like a lay back place. Some of the cashiers are very friendly. My child even left my work phone there and they called my emergency contact to give it back. Very nice! 😊“

“I love having this spot in my neighborhood. The staff is friendly, the owner is super sweet and their ice cream and water ice is really good. Every once in a while they have new items like empanadas on weekends. If you get the chance, get one. You won’t regret it.“

“I tried the tequila and mamay, omg, so delicious. The woman there was very pleasant a d helpful with choices. Thank you for making my ice cream just right! Definitely recommended“

“The best ice cream I tasted in Philly. I ordered the coconut ice cream with almond toppings. Do note that the almond toppings are very expensive. The taste of the coconut ice cream is delicious. I will definitely come back again when I visit Philly the next time. The shop is small and is decorated nicely.“

“One of my favorite places for ice cream. Nice size portions with a delicious flavor.“
