50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Runnemede

“I really enjoyed myself I will be back“

“great service, great ice!“

“We hired a Mister Softee truck to surprise our guests for an engagement party. They were right on time, ice cream truck music playing! It was great! Service was great! It was a huge hit and very reasonably priced! Thank you for making our party memorable! Highly recommend adding this touch to any outdoor party!“

“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!!“

“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.)“

“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 :)“

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

“Absolutely delicious!
Van Leeuwen is a dessert lover’s dream. The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by bright, colorful, and quirky wall art that instantly lifts your mood. I ordered a waffle cone with two scoops – one rich chocolate and one creamy coffee/caramel flavor – and both were incredible. The ice cream is smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The waffle cone was fresh and perfectly crisp.

The staff were friendly, the store was spotless, and the overall vibe was fun and inviting. A perfect spot to treat yourself or enjoy with friends. Highly recommend trying their unique flavors like Honeycomb or Earl Grey Tea!“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

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

“I might be their top customer! Love, love their homemade flavors!“

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

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“My favorite place for ice cream!!!“

“Super good and great pricing“

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

“A welcoming ice cream shop with a great rotation for both soft serve and water ice. Very authentic flavors like arroz con leche. Bar none the best soft serve in the area. I love to stop by and see what new snacks they create. On every visit, it feels like there is always something new worth trying.“

“Best ice cream . Very friendly people.“

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

“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!“

“Was looking for a great spot that was close to home and reasonably priced with quality ice cream/ water ice, then we found Jimmies! We have visited so many times this summer and we're never disappointed. They are one of the only places to offer non-dairy options which is perfect for my son who has an allergy. They even do ice cream cakes! The manager, Amber, is the best and truly provides an awesome experience. Do yourself a favor and visit Jimmies today!“

“My new favorite place this summer!“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

“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 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!“

“Eat before you get here because the portions are monstrous, so huge I’m sure I gained a pound —or two— in one eating.

Ashamed? Not!

The swirl soft serve with rainbow jimmies was so worth it. Not only was it truly yummy but the ice cream never melted like they do at the other shops. Not sure of the machine they decided to invest in but my cone maintained its shape to the very end.

I’m so glad that I decided to give them a chance.“

“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“

“Great atmosphere and its always super clean. Love the different yoghurt flavors. 100% recommended.

Vegetarian options: Plant Based Brown Sugar Vanilla

Kid-friendliness: Kids and family friendly environment.

Wheelchair accessibility: A separate table is available.“

“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. 👎☹️“

“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 !“

“Came for espresso and sat at the espresso bar. All the gentlemen at the bar were pleasant to chat with. The espresso tasted great. It’s roasted in house and the quality of the espresso machine makes the 5 star quality beverage. True Italian experience.“

“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!“

“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! 😃“

“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!“

“We always loved this place, but they are now doing their own homemade ice cream and it is GREAT!!! Kids definitely approve!!“

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

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

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

“Ice cream..yogurt w fruit toppings🥰“

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

“beautiful place, Gelato and espresso are all amazing, staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, a must visit!“

“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!“

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