50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mount Ephraim

“Used to come here all the time when I lived in Gloucester City. Would definitely recommend them!“

“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 got to try your Earl Grey tea ice cream over the summer, and recently tried your London Fog ice cream bars, and they're both awesome!! Thank you for creating these!!“

“Get the sorbetto! Great food, great service.“

“This was our second time here. I had the Keylime gelato and my husband had the pistachio cheesecake gelato. Always so delicious! Thank you guys for having the best gelato around!!“

“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.)“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

“This is easily some of the best ice cream with some of the best service I’ve ever had. We literally just came from a different ice cream place (that place was so bad we tossed it) and this was a 10x upgrade. Shoutout to Hannah, who served us by herself in peak rush hour. Thank you so much! Made the end of the day fantastic :)“

“Truly a hometown place for the community! They have employees that are so kind and compassionate to kids, adults, even free doggie ice cream cups for pups! LOL Their ice cream flavors and quality and assortment of desserts are unsurpassed anywhere! Everything is sooooo good!! And they do awesome events for the community all the time. Definitely will be a lifetime loyal customer! God bless you guys!“

“I gave 5 stars because of the alone hardworking girl. Please can you schedule someone else to help her. She is doing a great job but there is always line.
Nice flavors nice location very close to smart kids at UPenn but again always line of people.
PS. I got the fall flavors : hazelnut & pumpkin. 🎃“

“My favorite place for ice cream!!!“

“I am a migrant worker from Korea.
Working at the shipyard under the blazing sun has given me a heat-struck face and a work uniform coated in sweat and dust — a collaboration that makes locals step away from me.
Yes, that’s right! People don’t avoid poop because it’s scary… they avoid it because it’s dirty.
My English? Not great. But the staff here? Extremely kind.
And the moment I take a sip of their shake, I taste heaven itself.
My only regret… I discovered this ice cream shop in August.
If I had found it in June, my shake consumption would have been legendary.“

“Such a wonderful experience ! The owner was very nice and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. My two kids (8 & 4) loved it there and want to go back !“

“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! 😃“

“Absolutely delicious locally homemade ice cream. Great addition to the neighborhood, but also a destination worth traveling to!“

“Best ice cream around. Amazing flavors and combinations and the staff is so friendly. Overall just a great environment to enjoy delicious ice cream!“

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

“good place for getting some relaxing time.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“some of the best Gelato I've ever had, staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when I stopped in today. I highly recommend trying this place. also quite possibly best pistachio Gelato I've tried“

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

“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. 👎☹️“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

“Tried a homemade apple ice cream that was out of this world!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The staff is quick and helpful. The dance of flavors between the appetizers, entrees, and desserts were magnificent. A little bit of a walk from the theater but well worth it for a date night out. Careful with the stairs and it’s narrow when walking between tables, but to me this just elevated the coziness of it all. We will definitely come again!“

“Really good homemade coffee ice cream 🍦. Creamy, coffee taste is outrageous!“

“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!“

“The brownie sundae was really good!! And reasonable pricing. I should mentioned the ice cream is homemade! If you’re an ice cream connoisseur like myself, then you know homemade is the way to go. Our brownie sundae with rum raisin, cookies and cream and chocolate chip cookie dough was great !!“

“I dont have a lot of experience with dairy queen but ive been to this one a few times and always have had a good experience.This time i went in for my birthday blizzard and the app was being stupid and not giving me the correct coupon code. We had Lilly making our blizzards and she was very patient while i wrestled with the app and helped me be able to get my birthday blizzard.Thanks Lilly! And id definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a high quality dessert treat all year long!“

“1-900 is right in Rittenhouse Square and they had a long line that ended up moving pretty quickly. The staff were lovely, giving me recommendations and fast service. The soft serve is silky smooth and the flavors are strong but not artificial or overwhelming. I could see the vanilla beans throughout the ice cream which translated to the flavor as well and the chocolate was so balanced that I could eat plenty of it. The dip is perfectly thin and crisp, with a good flavor overall! The waffle cone was fine. Would recommend giving it a try, they have tons of interesting flavors that I didn’t get a chance to check out!“

“I really enjoyed myself I will be back“

“Super good and great pricing“

“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“

“Love! The Cosmic Beets ice cream sandwich was delicious! I was hesitant to order it, but so glad I did. Hoping to see dark chocolate ginger on the menu again soon.“

“Great service.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“I love this spot. My go-to order is the Earl Grey bubble tea topped with the Vietnamese iced coffee ice cream. It’s perfectly balanced: the tea’s floral notes shine through while the ice cream adds a deep, mellow sweetness that never feels overpowering. I’ve been back a few times now, not just for the sweet treats but for the aesthetics—the desserts look gorgeous, and the space itself is bright and great for hanging out with friends. It’s become an easy favorite!“

“Excellent service!! Great flavors and all around great experience.“

“Jeni’s has become my favorite ice cream to eat whether I’m buying it in a grocery store, ordering delivery or going to the shop with friends for a cone. What makes it even more exceptional is the top notch customer service! Friendly, kind and knowledgeable staff makes the experience an 11/10 every time!“

“We had a great first visit to Primo’s Voorhees location on Friday. My 4 year old is anaphylactic to peanuts, and we were so happy to find that allergen info was listed clearly on the menu! The associate was so nice and helpful- this is definitely our new ice cream place!“

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

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

“The ice cream is homemade. I got the Cookie Monster. The downside it turned my teeth and mouth blue from the coloring used in the ice cream. There also wasn’t much cookie or monster in this particular ice cream. When I think of Cookie Monster especially from the others I’ve tried around this way I think of chips ahoy pieces, Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookie dough, m&m’ mins. I will definitely be going back and trying something else because I do like homemade ice cream.“

“Drove 35 minutes to try the ice cream. I was not disappointed. I would recommend trying everything on the menu.“

“Always a good day for Nellie Bly's ice cream! It's a complete ice cream parlor experience!“

“Delicious ice cream 🍨, good prices, awesome 😎“

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

“Omg! I ordered a smoked turkey hoagie with cooper sharp cheese, and it was amazing! The store was clean, well stocked with chips and other goodies. The staff today was small, but my sandwich was made with very little wait! The young lady who took my order was friendly and polite. The owner, if I'm not mistaken, made my order, and the love and care she put into my lunch was too tier.
Thanks Sistas! You guys are doing your thing!“
