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!“

“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.)“

“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!“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

“We came here for our first time tonight. Workers were extremely friendly and shakes were great!“

“Too difficult to buy a cup of coffee here, the coffee ordering set up should be in the front, not the back and why is it so dark in the back? I want to like this place but it has no vibe…just the sight of staffers running around. The Hostess always looks bored and the back is like a madhouse. It’s one of the only places to get a cup of coffee ☕ near to Rittenhouse Park but where it’s well lit, it’s a quiet upscale grocery shop but the back feels like you’ve entered a subway station at rush hour!

Not sure what the remedy is but I’d suggest that you open up the front space, remove the annoying velvet rope and stop putting “reserved” signs on all of the tables (just sit people there who want to enjoy a cup of coffee for 15 minutes). This is a beautiful spot, but boy does it stress me out once you walk in the back.

Put on Italian music and hire some drop dead gorgeous guy or gal who knows how to convey ITALIAN WARMTH to customers!!! Every time I walk in the hostess is shy. She should be greeting guests and be IN FRONT, not planted at the podium.

Your restaurant is gorgeous ✨ , but it never feels welcoming 🤷🏽‍♀ it’s bright and pretty but it’s hectic feeling in the back - sorry, someone had to tell you..“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Willkay’s. The water ice is 🔥 with a great variety of flavors to choose from. The customer service was great, the vibe was fun, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a nice spot and I’ll be back again.“

“Beautiful and wonderful place“

“Franklin Ice Cream is a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! They have a wide variety of delicious ice cream flavors, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the shop has a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a treat with family or friends. Everything tasted fresh and creamy. I would definitely come back to try more flavors. Highly recommend!“

“They recently catered at a grad party I attended and I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! Being from CA, we don’t have water ice so trying the mango and passion fruit flavors HIT SO GOOD!! Would definitely come to grab some more whenever I’m in Philadelphia again.“

“They have the best customer service. I got a cookie tin and canolis. Both were of such high quality. Great Italian bakery!“

“I try to leave reviews when a place is good but this one deserves 10 stars!!!
BEST water ice AND ice cream in Philly and around!!! I live in the city and can’t wait to get off from work (near chubby’s) to get my Gelati. So far I’ve tried pineapple mango and candy fish and they are all so delicious, not overly sweet and don’t taste artificial. The vanilla ice cream, is so creamy milky and flavorful that you’ll never want to go back to soft serve. Seriously this is so good. They have little tables in front of the shop where you can sit relax and enjoy your treat. The staff is kind and respectful.
Try it while you also support a local business, it’s a win win!“

“Great desserts. Perfect cap of the night after Dinner in Chinatown.“

“Siddiq's is a West Philly gem! The flavors are always creative and delicious, and the staff will encourage you to sample anything.“

“amazing place with amazing ice cream“

“Great service, lots of variety - and not just the flavors: ice cream, cookie desserts, pretzels, and more. This isn't your ordinary water ice spot. They can even bring a water ice cart to your events! A convenient and memorable part of Springfield's past and its future. Right on the town's main strip.“

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

“Excellent portions! And old fashioned ice cream sundaes and floats!“

“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.“

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

“Delicious ice cream! Very cute interior and nice seating outside. I got the mango sticky rice and caramel praline flavors. The ice cream was very creamy and satisfying. Very kind staff. Would love to come back again. Vegan options are available which is wonderful. Also appreciate how clear their signage is regarding potential allergens with an allergen list available via QR code. Very cool that their spoons are compostable and sample spoons are metal and thus washable. Love an environmentally friendly location.“

“The Pink Passion, and Pineapple Crush are off the chain👅👅👅“

“A plethora of ice cream flavors in the lights at our mouthwatering and creamy. You can pick your favorite flavors or ask the creamery what their favorite flavor is for a delightful treat plenty of sodium inside and tasting available for your sweet tooth needs.“

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

“Incredible flavors! Blueberry cheesecake and salted caramel crunch with a waffle cone— remarkable🤌

The worker gave us two scoops for the price of one, so accommodating and so nice. Best ice cream in Philadelphia!“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

“I’ve been dying for an ice cream date since the winter and I finally got my wish! My date told me this was the place to get ice cream and made the 10 minute walk over. We were greeted by a line when I frowned and he said that it’s fast moving. I shrugged. Once we figured out where the end was, told me to pull up Instagram to check out what the weekly offerings were. Peculiar I thought. Honestly, I was disheartened by what was available this week of no fault of their own. But! I know now to check when I’m in town for something I’d really want - to convince for more ice cream dates. There is a regular albeit small menu. To be delight, it has my favourite ice cream staple on it, soft serve and m&ms or what they call a Brick. The line to the inside was also fast moving like promised. There were two registers that were asymmetrically split as most wanted soft serve in that moment. The inside was.. busy. Once the ice cream came out tho we were back on the street enjoying it! I got my brick which was a fantastic price for a city treat. My date got an Oreo dripped cone that he was boosting about in line. Definitely more his taste.

TLDR - the ice cream is delicious, check the Instagram, and don’t be discouraged by a line - instead make some friends!“

“Aine was such a great employee! Would definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Very extensive water ice and ice cream menu, offering a variety of flavors for everything. They also offer foods such as corn dogs, churros, funnel cakes, and more. Very good place to go in the Summertime“

“Best in Delco. The price is unbeatable and taste is yummy 😋😋😋👌🤘.“

“I would like to thank Denise for her great customer service she went above and beyond to help me I wanted a certain flavor of water ice and she was so kind to find it for me I really appreciate her kindness Thank you again for your kindness Calvin“

“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 got a vanilla sundae with pineapple, whipped cream, and of course a cherry on top, six fresh Oatmeal Raisin cookies. My wife got a Fried Oreo Sundae. By far one of the best dessert places I've been to in a long time. Well deserving of five full stars. Great job.“

“Classic American style ice cream with lots of original mixed flavors. After trying a few I walked away with a half scoop of vanilla honey and half scoop of pear marzipan. Both great but I think I would have preferred a pure honey and pure pear !
Loved the half scoop concept to try more flavors.“

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