50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Paulsboro

“This was the first time back to Don & Bert's in 27 years and it hasn't really changed much. It was so good back then and still is. I grew up going on a Friday night for some cheese fries and a pb shake. Still as good as I remember. I hope this place is around forever. Paulsboro's little gem!!!!“

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!“

“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.“

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

“DELICIOUSLY GREAT WATER ICE GO GET YOURS very friendly service thanks for stopping in charleston wv“

“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. 🎃“

“I’ve never been welcomed into a space with as much warmth as the moment I entered this Van Leeuwen. Valerie greeted us with so much energy and the biggest smile. I will absolutely come back here because of this experience! Thank you, Valerie!“

“This ice cream, funnel cake and water ice shop is fantastic! The staff are super fast and always make sure you’re satisfied with your order. There’s a wide variety of delicious choices on the menu, and everything tastes amazing. The employees are not only polite but also really funny. I highly recommend this spot — I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always worth it!“

“Wonderful experience! Great froyo!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Got a double of the Merci Boku 2.0. Was the right amount of Cinnamony, caramelly indulgence with cake chunks. Will definitely go back for new flavours next time I'm around. Decided it was good enough for a picture after a few too many bites.“

“Amazing gelato! Highly recommended“

“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!“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

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

“I made this reservation in celebration of my mom and aunt's birthdays. They reported that it was an excellent treat! They were thrilled with the level of service and hospitality, and the meal. Additionally, since I am long distance, I worked with staff to make certain celebratory and payment arrangements in advance. Well done Gran Caffe. Thank you for your kind generosity in helping to create another delightful memory.“

“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!“

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

“Local Main Street "Hallmark" flare where it's always a family friendly welcome while serving the best Water Ice in the area. For example, the cherry or root beer water ice has a home made taste without the excessive sugar those other corporate locations add on.

Parking: A parking lot is part of the property and street parking directly in front of the shop is available unless there is a special event on Main Street where parking may be blocked off.“

“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.“

“amazing place with amazing ice cream“

“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!“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“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 love coming to Vita! Whether it’s a quick stop for their home made gelato or a night out for dinner, we know we are always going to get a solid product. The pasta is very fresh, and they offer a variety of other Italian dishes which always hit the spot. And the gelato is 10/10. Best spot in Philly!“

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

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

“Amazing ice cream place! I went here and got the Lemon Bar and Almond Brittle half scoops in a waffle cone, both delicious. Here they usually do half scoops, so I got two flavors. Lemon bar was sour and creamy. The almond brittle was crunchy and had a sweet caramel flavor. A two-half-scoop treat is the perfect dessert after dinner“

“I have only try four different flavors and they’re delicious 😋 next time I may have to order a bigger size 🥰“

“Cookie butter icecream yum!!“

“I’ve come here a few times and have had pleasant experiences all the times I’ve come here. The last time I came here I got a turtle sundae and my friend got the black and white milkshake and they were both really good, highly recommend. Would come back again.“

“Literally one of my top 10 favorite places in Philadelphia! Absolutely authentic Mexican ice cream and little snacks- like corn on the cobb, fruits prepared with Chile and the works, chips with the works. This is what we actually eat in México! I would recommend it to anyone!Este lugar es el mejor! Uno de mis lugares favoritos en Philadelphia!“

“I've been waiting on this location to open up and boy was it worth the wait!!! Dre's has the BEST water ice and ice cream in Philly... and if your looking for gourmet ice cream try the sweet potato pie or banana pudding flavor they are to die for I noticed it at the retail location but it can also be found at all Browns Family Shop-rite stores.“

“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.“

“It's an awesome place to bring your family for ice cream and chocolate treats. The workers are awesome it's a friendly environment not to mention the ice cream and smoothies are really great. My kids love this place“

“Their lemon pepper wings changed my life!!! No need to discuss that Tuesday was my first time ever trying lemon pepper flavored wings. That’s besides the point, lol. I’m just so glad my first time was with Karnival Foods!! Chef was amazing, kind & generous. The wings, OMG!!! I was tempted to keep them all for myself. I had to stop myself from eating them no 🧢 Love these guys, the business & their food. Won’t be my last!“

“my favorite place in Philly for matcha! matcha quality is authentic and ceremonial grade and you can definitely taste it. I got the matcha bomb latte and the milk was not overpowering and the drink was not too sweet at all. would recommend to anyone looking for real, strong matcha.“

“what is your favorite song for you to“

“Delicious ice cream and they deliver!“

“We ordered 2 scoops with Sea Salt Caramel & Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in the Chinese takeout containers! The place is old fashioned with soda fountains. Something to be mindful of is that there’s standing room but no indoor seating. Ice cream was incredible!“

“mixture of flavors freeze ur brain and all ur senses #ScoopDeville #buzzybooth“

“Best ice cream I have had in a while! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I went there without much expectation and took the coffee fudge truffle in a chocolate dipped cone. It was very creamy and thick in consistency (in a good way). The cone was super crisp and they gave 2 scoops of ice cream. It was a lot but I enjoyed every bite of it. The flavor was great! Would love to come back and try more flavors!“

“I enjoyed the All Very Strawberry Ice Cream Cake Jar but due to the machine for the strawberry ice cream being down, I had to replace the ice cream with a different flavor.

I opted for vanilla ice cream. I ordered the mini which was sufficient for an afternoon sweet treat.

The jar is layered with the strawberry cupcake on the bottom, icing, strawberry crunch, and topped with ice cream. It’s a wonderful combination but the plastic spoons available made it difficult to access the cupcake with the other layers.

I would order the cake jar again but will use my own spoon so I don’t spend time trying to pull up the cupcake smashed at the bottom to enjoy with the other layers.

They have a high top table ledge to sit and enjoy your treat inside if you choose. It sits across from the workspace where you can watch them make your treat.“
