50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ardmore

“Stopped by Lu & Aug’s in Ardmore, PA, and this place is a sweet little gem! I tried the Wild Mint Chocolate and Toffee Pecan, and both were smooth, creamy, and full of flavor.

The Wild Mint Chocolate had that cool, refreshing mint taste with a rich chocolate kick. It was not boring or basic at all — it tasted fresh, sweet, and perfect for a warm day.

The Toffee Pecan was my favorite for that dessert-style flavor. It had a buttery, nutty taste with little crunchy pieces that made every sip better. Sweet, creamy, and packed with texture.

The presentation was simple but clean, and the drinks looked just as good as they tasted. Lu & Aug’s is definitely a spot worth checking out if you are in Ardmore and want something cold, sweet, and satisfying.

Foodie verdict: Creamy, flavorful, and worth the stop. I would definitely come back for more.

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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 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.“

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

“2nd time me and my wife came to this jawn, and the pretzels are fresh every time. Honestly, everything is fresh. My two favorites right now are the banana pudding milkshake and the pepperoni pizza pretzel and then the blueberry jawn my wife favorite. Best part about this jawn they had turkey pepperoni for the pizza pretzels.The service is definitely a 10/10 too. They was very professional, nice, and respectful first and 2nd visit. They take cash or card, and the wait never be extreme usually under 5 minutes or faster But I definitely recommend this jawn.“

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.“

Our guests all loved the products especially the strawberry and Salted Carmel ice creams. I 100% recommend this to anyone having a party.“

“Friendly service, tasty treats. The sundaes are nice and large - great for lunch on a why not kind of day!“

“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!“

“The best ice cream shop in our area hands down. Very nice portions, and the waffle cones are tasty.
The cookies are very solid as well (except perhaps the blended one).
Closed for the season during the winter, but we visit often when it is open.“

“Such fun for these kiddos!“

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

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

“Best ice cream around and new flavors are great“

“I love Zsa's and I have to exercise self control every time I pass. It's a local gem and sooooo yummy. The brown butter pecan is my absolute favorite but I haven't found any flavors that I didn't like. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options (including cones). Service is usually quick even when the line stretches past the building. So glad a new owner was able to take over and it didn't have to close... and that they brought in some new flavors. The matcha, Thai tea and mango sticky rice all slapped 🤤 I can't wait to see what else they come up with!“

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

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

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

“Such a charming little spot—clean, quaint, and filled with gold standard ice cream options plus the coolest, unique finds. My daughter kept it simple with an ice cream sandwich, my son had fun trying the seasonal “Egg Hunt” flavor, and I went all-in on lavender blueberry (so good!). Truly one of those places where everyone finds something they love!“

“Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat Authentic Italian food in Philly! I literally stop in every single time I'm in town. The food is just perfect, authentic and I love how they have a new menu every week or so for different regions! Beyond excellent service. Award winning gelato must be mentioned with the great choices at the store market on the 1st level!“

“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.“
