Ice Cream Shops near Bryn Mawr

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

“Top notch customer service! Eugene at the Bryn Mawr location was fantastic in helping me with my order. Thank you so much!“

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“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!!!! 😋“

“This was the cutest little shop that I came across. Went to check out the King of Prussia mall 10/11/25 and I happened upon this store. AT first it looked like it was an ice cream parlor because of the ice cream cones in the window of the store. But I wanted to check it out and lo and behold, it was a gelato and chocolate shop. It reminded me of when I visit Europe and I am shopping for treats for my colleagues. It was cute, clean and the one of the sales person/cashier was very knowledgeable out the products. She was very patient and took her time with me and even gave me a taste of a couple of the chocolates. The packaging on some of the items were very cute. I spent over $100 on treats for my colleagues. Excessive right? LOL! It was worth it and it made my trip to the mall much more rewarding. Thanks to the young lady who helped me. Very petite, Asian, maybe she was a college student who helped me. Really appreciate it.“

“This is just too good not to post. THEIR HONEYDEW water ice...made of real fruit is not too heavy on flavor or sugar so the $5 size is so perfect! I'd come down and have some just to see. Not just the water ice but the funnel cake is addictive so why not give it a try?“

“We stumbled onto this place after a nice hike in valley forge, the ice cream was awesome and folks were so nice the bag they delivered our ice cream in even had a cute drawing! Check these guys out if you’re looking for a good little ice cream spot“

“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. 🎃“

“They have so many ice cream flavors and popsicles. The ice cream taste fresh and the interior of the store is so cute. They have plenty of seating for you and your family to enjoy your sweet treats. They also sell latino candies and pints of ice cream to go home. When ever I am at the elmwood zoom I will be coming here for ice cream.

I got the Ducks De Leche and pistachio“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“Delicious, lots of water ice in a large variety of flavors and they make for a nice little summer treat. They absolutely need a trash can up front so patrons don't litter though, so don't forget to take your trash with you if you visit.“

“I usually don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but Lu and Aug’s is changing that! Their soft serve is perfect — smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. Between simple vanilla to their more extravagant specialities, Lu and Aug’s has brought something different and delicious to the Main Line sweet treat scene. I especially look forward to their seasonal flavor drops. My favorites so far have been lavender earl grey and just yesterday, chai spice. I actively look forward to seeing what flavor they are going to come up with next! I also recently tried their hot chocolate which was yummy. The staff is super friendly and service is quick, even when they are busy (which is most of the time!). Definitely recommend visiting this great spot in Ardmore.“

“Saw the roadside sign about new ice cream cakes and decided to order one. This is the type with just ice cream but you get to customize the mix or vanilla/chocolate, the sauce and candy crunch filling, and the sprinkles. The only thing they don’t do is write on the cake. It is a bit pricey but it is huge. The fudge wasn’t quite all the way through but it was very good. Service was also excellent - when the cake needed more time to freeze, they offered to deliver it if I wanted, discounted the cake, and gave me a coupon.

They now take credit cards but impose a fee. Debit cards aren’t charged but it isn’t clear on the signage or the screen, only once you get a receipt is the surcharge not there.“

“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!“

“My first time there was a little confusing finding the entrance/window to order (by the way, it’s in the back).

Secondly, they don’t offer samples, which is disappointing, but it’s their policy. Buying a full scoop of a flavor I’ve never tried before is a gamble I don’t like taking.

Third, it’s about $6–7 for a single scoop. I think that’s a bit pricey (IMO), but since I only go once in a while, I guess I don’t mind paying it.

Fourth, seating is limited if you want to sit and enjoy your ice cream. I’ve only been there twice, and both times I ended up eating in my car. It kind of takes away from my summer evening ritual: sitting outside while the warm air melts into the ice cream and I have to eat it as fast as it melts (the little kid in me still loves that, lol).

That said, their banana pudding ice cream was delicious. I’ll definitely stop by one last time to treat my sweet tooth before they permanently close.“

“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.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“Almost all of the flavors offered are wonderful. I love the rotating seasonal flavors and the fact that samples are offered so you can try things out. It is a bit pricey, but the ice cream is very high quality and many of the flavors are unique, so it is worth it. My favorite flavors are darkest chocolate and rainbow buttermilk frozen yogurt, both of which pair very well together!“

“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!“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

“Their ice-cream cakes are amazing and priced very reasonably!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great service! Who doesn’t love their product 😊“

“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!“

“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 😊“

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

“This is one of my favorite spots to visit during hot summer days for water ice and ice cream. They're always changing flavors but overall the options are very simple. I also love the blendinis and mistos. The staff here are usually made up of local high school students but the service is still good. Everyone is really friendly“

“Very good ice cream store! it's my favorite,and the ice cream is really good! I love this place and I feel like it should get more people.And just to tell ya,the people speak Spanish and English which is great for my family! So,I give this a 5/5!! ♡“

“I went inside Rita’s today with my mom. The shop was small and cute. I told one of the workers that I applied for the job as a part time team member. They said that they will look at applicants next week. Anyways, I ordered a cotton candy Italian ice and it was delicious. I would recommend going there.“

“I've been waiting on this location to open up and boy was it worth the wait!!! Dre's has the BEST water ice and ice cream in Philly... and if your looking for gourmet ice cream try the sweet potato pie or banana pudding flavor they are to die for I noticed it at the retail location but it can also be found at all Browns Family Shop-rite stores.“

“We enjoyed it. Way better than the one on Haverford Road.“

“I wanted to shout out Kaitlyn for making my dog a special treat after I told her he’ll be going to doggy heaven soon! So sweet he loved it thank you 😊“

“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.“

“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“

“Excellent ice cream and fun for All!“

“And the best fudge , Carmel apples and ice cream“

“best sorbet around. and the berries and toppings are outstanding.“

“Establishment does not support their community. When my non profit org approached them for a donation for a children's event in the community they declined. The manager would not give out any additional information. Totally unprofessional!“

“what is your favorite song for you to“
