50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ardmore

“Our go-to spot - best ice cream in (and really anywhere near) Ardmore. The espresso is delicious too, and if you combine the 2 in one of their Affogatos...even better. All of their specialties and one-off flavors are spot on, and the customer service is great. Thanks, Lu & Aug's!“

“Sweet Stuff prepared an ice cream party for me to pick uo and deliver to friends. Customer service (Maria!) was simply awesome- professional, helpful beyond belief. The items were all packed into a styrofoam cooler, wrapped with a bow, easy for my to pick up. I saw picts of the goodies inside and they were labeled beautifully and the family LOVED the ice cream and the toppings we picked out. Thank you!!“

“The burgers and fries. The salted strawberry lemonade was good.“

“I’ve been to this insomnia a few times and have had pleasant experiences all the times that I’ve been here. The staff is always very nice and friendly. The cookies are always fresh and tasty too. My current favorites are the chocolate chip cookies and the Chai latte cookies from here. Would definitely come back again in the future.“

“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.“

“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.)“

“Love this store! Came in on a chill Friday night and the guy working was so sweet. He went out of his way to make customers happy, like giving some teenagers the “good” part (cookies) in the gelato and giving another girl. Amazing service, amazing chocolate. Thank you!“

“Best Gelato I've had, Cherry...(I will be trying all flavors). Best in the city in my opinion!! The Soft Serve is soft, thick and creamy, so delicious!! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are plentiful. Nice, friendly staff, clean establishment. My family and I have made this our #1 Ice Cream 🍨🍦 Spot!!!! 😋“

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

“Great flavor selection, great team. Always there when I need that sugar rush. If you’re in the area (and even if you’re not) Dreams is always worth the trip“

“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!“

“ADDICTIVE!!! FAVORITE ICE CREAM IN TOWN!!!

First of all this place is at the top of my list for ice cream, they have so many other special treats but the ice cream is so smooth and creamy. My go-to is their Rum Raisin and cheese flavor. The variety feels endless and if you can't choose, order a funnel cake or their micheladas! Nice place to sit in and enjoy as a family, with friends, or even on a date.

Service is always kind and they will let you try as many flavors as you want.“

“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. 🎃“

“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!“

“Today, we tried Frosty Falls for Lunch! I got spicy sausage with pepper and onion and my little one got meatball sub. The food was great, those toast warm rolls amazing! We will definitely be having lunch at (we call it ice cream house) Frosty Falls again! We have ALWAYS love the ice cream!“

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

“My husband and I absolutely adore Curly's Carnival Eats and Creamery! It’s our favorite place to escape and indulge our inner kids. The atmosphere is vibrant and nostalgic, perfectly capturing the fun spirit of the fair without the crowds. Every bite from the perfectly crispy funnel cakes to the decadent, creative ice cream flavors, is a celebration.

The portions are generous, the staff is cheerful, and it’s truly a unique spot that we look forward to visiting every time. If you want great desserts and fantastic carnival classics, make sure to bring your partner, family, friends, etc and check out Curly's! Highly, highly recommend!“

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

“The tastiest ice cream in town. So delicious. Courteous staff, excellent service.“

“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.“

“Stopped in during the food truck festival and was blown away by the great service and fresh treats! 5/5 definitely recommend!!“

“Walked by here yesterday with my boyfriend and was pleasantly surprised they were open this time of the year. Customer service was excellent and the place was super clean. The workers had gloves on and the owner who took our order couldn’t have been any more nicer. We got a brownie delight sundae which was amazing, a gelati made with their home made water ice… and 6 cookies that were served warm! The apple pie cookie and blue berry muffin cookie were so YUM!! We will definitely be going back! 😊“

“Delicious ice-cream with some classic and some unique seasonal flavors (like lavender)!“

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

“Another beautiful event at Gran Café L’Aquila for our annual department dinner. For the second year in a row, their team made the planning process incredibly easy, assisting with the delicious menu, wine selections, setup, and flawless service. Everything was handled with care and professionalism. There’s nothing better than hosting an event and being able to truly enjoy it alongside everyone else.“

“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!“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

“Delicious ice cream - homemade -and the waffle cones are amazing. Check it out!“

“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.“

“Very popular ice cream joint famous for their water ice especially. They have unique flavors of water ice such as sweetish fish, peach, dragonfruit, pear, blue raspberry, tangerine, cotton candy, and more. The really unique ones such as dragonfruit and pear come and go, they don’t stay permanently like the cherry and blue raspberry kinds so keep that in mind if you ever go and don’t see it on their menu“

“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!“

“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!“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“Writing this review as I'm eating my hoagie because it's THAT good - haven't even finished it yet. I took it home to go. The bread they have is amazing, I got the seeded roll. And the ingredients taste so fresh and high-quality. I got the Turkey'd Out hoagie which is one of their specialty hoagies and i highly recommend it. You can also add some extra toppings to your liking. The hoagie was bigger than I expected which is great because I eat a lot. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can to try the other specialty hoagies.

In addition to the food - amazing/friendly service, very clean inside.“

“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“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“What a fun place! Delicious ice cream (dairy free options are what I get!) and interesting candies and stickers. The employees are always super friendly and fun to chat with!“

“Can not go wrong ordering any dessert from Bredenbeck’s. We get all our daughter’s birthday cakes and go there for ice cream during the summer.“

“It’s an absolute institution! Do people give me crap because I usually get the chocolate and for some reason folks are haters? Yes. That’s on them though. If you want some authentic, Philly area water ice from the first place I ever had it as a kid, hit up Buddy’s! So good!“

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

“I really enjoyed my experience here!!! The Peanut Butter Explosion was amazing, and the gentleman with the red hair was very pleasant and accommodating! Thanks 😊“

“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.“

“Service with kindness great flavors no one else has“

“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!“
