28 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bridgeport

“My husband and I stopped by around 6:45 last night to grab some gelati. There was a large group ahead of us, who all seemed happy with their treats, and the line moved quickly. All the employees were very friendly! They got our orders correct and everything was the right consistency and tasted great. They told us they had just opened the day before.It is a walk-up operation (next to Suzy-Jo Donuts), with some benches along the sidewalk. There is a small parking lot with limited spots, as well as street parking available.Looking forward to many more visits in the near future!“

“From the tasting to after the wedding, Bredenbeck’s was amazing! The cake came out EXACTLY how I expected it to. It was beautiful! And it tasted amazing! All of my guests really loved every layer (each one was a different flavor). We had a small issue with the filling but Bredenbeck’s rectified the issue right away and took accountability! I look forward to visiting them for another cake order in the future!“

“Stumbled across this hidden gem in Norristown while waiting for the shuttle to the elmwood park zoo. This place has so many options from fresh juices, homemade ice cream, popsicles, ice cream, desserts and lunch options. The service is awesome too , the person helping us offered different samples to see what we would like before purchasing and explained all the ingredients in certain options. The interior is so cute and colorful , definitely feel like your transported to Mexico when you walk inside. The crepe was amazing and light and the mangonada was spicy, sour and sweet. The perfect combination, will definitely be back to try more things !“

“My husband and I come here all of the time, we love our ice cream!!! This is our favorite ice cream now, I crave it over anywhere else. Their chocolate peanut butter is so good and we love their banana! The ice cream is cold (if you know you know, some ice cream just melts so fast, this is ice cream is nice and frozen) creamy, and thick! I also love ordering online and just picking up when I get there, super convenient!“

“Great ice cream and very reasonable pricing! Other places around town have good ice cream too but The Main Freeze crushes them with great pricing are large portions. Simple walk up window setup and quick service too. One of the best ways to end a day or wrap up a weekend. Just wish they were open longer throughout year, but I get it.“

“First time checking this place out. The young people that work here provided very good customer service. The soft vanilla ice cream was good as well as the cookie dough hard ice cream and vanilla soft ce cream with sprinkles.I would recommend this place. Another bonus is that this place has a drive through and some parking spaces.“

“Chill on the Hill had mango fruit topping! 5 stars from me!They also had fresh strawberries and blueberries and HOT FUDGE! Most froyo places have that cold, watery bottled chocolate sauce. Most importantly, they have good yogurt and the flavors I liked.“

“The place was absolutely packed on a Friday night. It was surprising to see only 3 ice cream flavors: chocolate, vanilla and a special custom one they made but that's what makes the quality of the ice cream so good. I got a turtle ice cream sundae and it was incredible. The ice cream itself was so creamy and the perfect amount of milky tasting. What stood out was the flavor was a touch more sweet than store bought ice cream, maybe from vanilla extract but not in an overpowering way at all. They also sold various candy, chocolates and candied apples. I took home a turtle apple too, which was also incredible. Green apple was fresh, chocolate covering was decadent and combo of toppings perfect. I have no pictures to share because it was eaten too quickly. Please do yourself a favor and visit!“

“Great, old time ice cream place. This would be the perfect spot to visit after a baseball game!I took my kids for an ice cream on a lazy Sunday afternoon this summer. The place was packed! However, the line moved fast.My younger son ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream and my older son tried the moose tracks. (I took a taste of both)The mint chocolate chip was so delicious, it reminded me of ice cream I got from a little candy shop up in Northern Wisconsin when I was a kid. My older son said that their moose tracks was the best he's ever had.We will definitely go back!Only wish they had some gluten free cones or cookies.“

“I highly recommend this place. Yes it's more expensive then your generic Rita's, but it's worth it to support a local business. Everything tasted fresh. The vanilla soft serve was one of the best that I've had in awhile. The flavors aren't overly sweet which in my mind of a huge plus! I recommend the candy fish flavor but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.“

“A little disappointed with selection for Easter- chocolate chip, sugar, brownie, lemon, and carrots cake. The only "fun" one was strawberry pretzel. Had a catering flyer and would have taken to keep handy, but no prices in it.But cookies were good - a little chewy and doughy with a little crisp on outside. Clean and modern storefront. Would probably try again.Parking: Pick up spots available right out front.Kid-friendliness: What kiddo doesn't like a good cookie? They have actual cookies baked on display, so you can see the size and offerings for the week.“

“I absolutely adore the cookies at this place! They're not just good; they're downright phenomenal. One of the things that sets them apart is their size - they're huge! And when they say they're always hot, they mean it. There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a warm, freshly baked cookie that practically melts in your mouth. From the moment you step in and catch a whiff of that irresistible aroma to the last crumb on your plate, the experience is nothing short of heavenly. Each bite is a delightful combination of soft, gooey goodness and rich, indulgent flavor. Whether you're a cookie connoisseur or just someone with a sweet tooth, these cookies are guaranteed to leave you craving more. Trust me, once you've tried them, you'll be hooked!“

“The most amazing cookies! This store is clean, the staff provide quick service, and of course, the cookies are absolutely delectable.So far, I have tried the blueberry muffin, chocolate chip, wedding cake, brownie sundae, and Kentucky butter cake. I plan to go back on a weekly basis for their specialty flavors.All in all, I recommend this location to pick up a sweet treat and smile!“

“in the heart of Philly is this little water ice spot that serves really tasty water ice. Multiple different flavors my family was able to choose from and they all loved it. Wonderful and speedy service. Really nice staff, overall an extremely pleasant experience to enjoy a nice treat.“

“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“

“Cookies are fresh and made to order always nicely decorated and packaged. The Employees at the Oaks pa location are always nice and very helpful when you can't decide. The location is always easy to get in and out of. Its always nice and clean.“

“You get a ton of ice cream here, such the higher prices reflect, but it's worth it for a special treat or for your entire dinner. There's usually a hoard of college students and I'm glad to see them supporting local business.“

“The best ice cream in the area! You can tell it's homemade, it's so good! So many great flavors, the best graham cracker ice cream I've ever had. It gets absolutely packed during the summer with a huge line and not a lot of parking but it's just amazing!“

“My wife has always wondered why I always refuse any of the area water ice spots, especially the chain stores, until I took her to Pops. My wife's first real water ice was at the original South Philly location on Oregon Ave, then we found Havertown.Pops is by far the best water ice I have ever had, and I've been enjoying Pops since I was a kid. The Havertown location is spot on like Philly, and it saves my a trip onto the city.Do yourself and try this, the pineapple is my favorite with actual chunks of fruit.,“

“It was good, but there's no organization for the lines, people stand wherever, you're never sure where to stand. They need to get some rope or something to let people know there are two windows for service. The war ice was good, but the turkey sausages weren't as good as they've been in the past.“

“I stumbled across this place when I was doing an engagement shoot nearby but had to hop on a client call. I ordered a peach green tea refresher which was amazing and so much better than Starbucks. The wifi was great and super fast and it was an overall nice environment to work from. I really liked how late they were open. (I went in at 6:30pm) because all other options I could work from were closed.I would drive the distance just to come back for the atmosphere.“

“Omg they are so sweet because even after the fact of them being closed, I saw all young employees with a smile taking orders that they were still able to take. The amazing individuals names were Tori, Lila and John. You don’t see such great care these days especially through the younger generation. It was incredible! Thanks Paoli Rita’s!!!“

“Who doesn't love Rita's? This location is small, and located in a strip mall. They have 2 windows and move pretty efficiently for a small crew. We have always had a good experience here, even when it's crowded. My favorite might be the gelati and the plain ice. I love the mango, mango strawberry, and peach, with pear a close second to that list“

“They have great selections of ice cream flavors.. Chocolate Ice-cream alone had close to 6-8 flavors. We have tried their specialedition chocolate caramel cookies &cream, and I loved it. The ice cream quality was great which was rich and luxurious in texture , and the surprising elements were pieces of cookies and fudge which added the bit of crunch tothe ice-cream. The waffle cone was classic with sugar flavored and crunchy texture. Iwould definitely try their ice cream with wafflefor sure which elevates the whole experienceof having an ice-cream.I have also tried their sampleof chocolate toasted coconut which was yummy. Chocolate and coconut was an interesting flavor to try out in an ice cream and it was so good. Next time I would definitely get this scoop.Parking: It is in a very busy shopping complex, you can probably find the parking easily over a regular day than a weekend. Again you can always find a parking either closeror few minutes walk from Kilwins.“

“The rita's worker angelyna is just fantastic. She really knows how to scoop some water ice, props to however trained her. She seemed to really care about the art of making a concrete as well, and even knew the recipe to the brokie concrete, lol TBT. At the end she said i should buy a pretzel to complete my order and... I DID. BEST DECISION EVER. made my already amazing concrete even better. Would go back 10 times a day if i knew angelyna was going to be there.“

“Everytime I go visit my family in Philly, I have to go to Joe's Water Ice. Since they live pretty close to it, I always walk here and on a hot summer day after sweating and walking to this place, it is always a nice treat to order some delicious shaved ice. I personally love the lemon flavor because its not too sweet or sour. I've had the cherry one, but personally that one is too sweet for my liking. You really gotta come here if you have never been to this place for some water ice! Even during colder seasons, I will always come here and enjoy my lemon ice.“

“I wish there were more Friendly’s around us. All around still one of my favorite places to go and I’m 34! My mom used to take us here all the time and it was an all time favorite. I can’t wait to take my kids here and continue the tradition.“

“I get fantastic service at this Rita's location, from kind and attentive staff like Tommy, Ryan, and Ethan, who always smile and welcome me.The lines move super fast, its a great in and out treat to get on a hot day! Theres a large selection of flavors to choose from.“
