They always have the cake we need at the last minute and always are willing to personalize it. The woman was so sweet last time we got a cake and she let my daughter help her with writing on the cake. They also made a donation for my daughter’s softball team fundraiser that was very generous. Definitely make this your go to Dairy Queen!“

A few places to sit outside if you want to hang back and enjoy your cool great.“

“The employees here are so sweet and helpful. Delicious ice cream cakes can’t wait to get another one soon. Currently dreaming about it!!!“

“As the weather begins to warm up, I start my Sunday night tradition of going out to get a couple of scoops of ice cream or water ice. A couple months back, I wanted to try something different and go someplace I'd never tried before. So, good old Google found me a place, less than a mile away, which I never knew existed! I jumped in the car, drove down, and (long story short), I was blown away! I will ALWAYS choose a small local business over a corporate owned or franchised operation any day, and this wonderful couple not only serves delicious ice cream, incredible waffles, PLUS extremely delicious homemade waffle cones and bowls, but they also serve up love and hospitality! This is MY go-to place now, MY neighbors, and a part of MY extended family of sole proprietors! I am so glad I wanted something different that night! I sure got more than I asked for! If you are a customer already, you KNOW what I am talking about! If not, please give ScoopAffles a try! I promise you will not be disappointed and... will absolutely get hooked! 😁“

“I came with my grandma and boyfriend last Wednesday, and I was greeted with a smiling face who politely took my order, he was very attentive and he was so polite. This worker was by far the most kind one I have ever seen at any Rita’s location, I believe his name was like Anton or Antonio. He let us know what he recommended, and helped my grandmother pick what she should order. Next time I come in I hope he is working so I can be greeted by his smiling and attentive face again. 10/10 will be back!“

“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!“

“Wow the kids were so excited seeing the post for Minecraft sundaes, so of course we had to order them. We ordered 1 of each, The Steve, The Orb, The Neither world, The Overworld, & The Chicken jockey. They were all so awesome, & how clever & cute they even had candy chickens, candy villagers, pop rocks, sprinkles, candies, syrups loaded with whipped cream & a cherry top. The woman was so nice talking to the kids & she even had a pup cup for our fur baby. Looking forward to going back to Gracies. Nice family outting.“

“I’ve been going to. Bruster’s shops for almost 20 years between Florida and now Trevose and the flavors never disappoint! Creamy and delicious homemade ice cream and yummy cakes if you so choose. There’s a flavor for everyone but my favorite is Espresso Yourself, Graham Central Station, New York Cheesecake, and the classic Cookies and Cream. You really can’t go wrong with any of them! The handmade in store waffle cones are to die for! Treat yourself to a tasty treat!“

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

“Amanda was amazing. She was all alone working and it was very busy. She handled it like a pro. Not only did she do her job very well but she did it with joy! She made our experiences great and exceeded our expectations! Thank you Amanda! You should get a bonus for working alone on a busy night!“

“Awesome service! Carol is such a nice person ! Kids requested a flavor she was able to find it and had it available in no time !“

“Not only did the owner of this store go out of his way to get me a cake made when I screwed up and ordered too late but all of our guests said it was the best ice cream cake they ever had. I have locations closer to me but this is the one we will be going to from now on and I am telling all of my friends and family the same.“

“I think the flavors Piña colada and Key Lime are the best here... everytime I go there I received excellent service...“

“I ordered a smoothie today from this location. The manager, Peter, was very clean. He changed his gloves a few times within my order and another person's order. Peter, spoke well English and I was able to communicate with him well. He was very honest when I gave him too much money during my transaction. I would definitely go back to this location again in the future.“

“This place has the BEST cookies and great customer service!

They have 6+ flavors every week and they rotate through new flavors weekly. They also have exciting holiday themed flavors. It's easy to get invested in coming back over time to try different delights! Their app is easy to use for orders and their rewards program points add up quickly. Their staff is always friendly and nice. Their party pack is a favorite at gatherings!“

“My oldest likes Rita's gelati, my youngest likes TCBY soft serve, my wife likes traditional hard ice cream. So usually, this means multiple stops when we go on a run for a summer treat. We decided to try this place on a whim and couldn't be happier. As you can see from the photo everyone got something and my every member of my family swears by what they ordered. The Cinnamon Bun hard ice cream is to die for. The quality of the Italian Ice in the gelati was amazing, and my youngest says the soft serve is the best she's had (it really reminds me of a better quality Dairy Queen). Anyway, you can't go wrong with this place. Remember they are cash only, so plan accordingly.“

“wow I outsold work for you and make bananas chocolate“
