Ice Cream Shops near Bryn Mawr

“A lot of places don't live up to the hype. That is not the case with Surreal. From the second we walked in, we were greeted, and asked if it was our first visit. The employee that helped us was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We were offered samples and suggestions. Our customer experience alone was worth the trip. The Thai milk tea was the best I have ever had. I was offered a sample of the taro ice cream (not something I would have ordered on my own) and WOW. It might have been the best ice cream I have had. Needless to say I ordered one. Check it out, my entire family enjoyed their orders too. Absolutely worth the trip.“

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

“Morrone's Water Ice is the perfect place to cool off on a hot day. With a variety of fresh and delicious flavors, their ice is refreshing and sweet to the touch. The smooth texture and rich flavor make each bite a delight. The friendly staff and quick service add to the wonderful experience. A must-visit for those who love cool desserts!“

“My husband stumbled upon this shop online and it was only 5 mins away from us so we decided to stop in and we loved it! Definitely our new go to place, there is so many menu items we still want to try. We love going to the elmwood park zoo and I think this will be a great treat stop after walking around the zoo.“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“I don’t think you could ever go here and not be satisfied. The ice cream is AMAZING, the selection is extensive and they are some of the nicest people working in customer service.
You know you’re going to want some later, so always order a pint to go!“

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

“Been a here a handful of times & they never cease to blow my mind, top notch establishment over here

The in house Butterscotch krimpet ice cream is absurdly good, chunks of krjmpet cake in there!

Best handmade ice cream in the area; I’ll keep on coming back!“

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

“Love this place!! The last two times the soft serve has been a little melted when it was served so I had to eat it pretty fast to avoid a mess but still some of the best soft serve. I love that they make it on site! I do wish they let you mix chocolate/vanilla with either of their two feature flavors though 💔“

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Flavors were rich, tasty, extremely flavorful and colorful! Service and owner were helpful and accommodating! Great business acumen, personable service! Wonderful experience! Well worth the trip. Great products and variety of different and authentic of flavors.

Parking: Open parking lot in the front of the location.“

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

“I visited Surreal Creamery in Philadelphia just over a week ago, and it was an amazing experience! The creativity in both presentation and flavor really sets this place apart. I ordered one of their signature mason jar creations, and it was a perfect mix of rich, creamy ice cream and delicious toppings. The portion size was more than generous, and the staff was friendly and enthusiastic about helping me choose from their fun, colorful menu. If you’re in Philly and looking for a unique, Instagram-worthy treat, Surreal Creamery is a must-visit!“

“Yesterday was my first visit there. First, there was a sign indicating an invitation to use their back patio. I didn't know which way to access the patio so naturally I walked around to the other (wrong) side of the building searching for the back patio. I was met by two locked doors. I then walked down the path then around the front of the store and then I went in the other direction.... kept going... looking for the patio and found it in the back of the building where I placed my order. I was disappointed that there was no sugar-free ice cream but they had a vast array of cones. Then, I had to walk to another window to pick up my ice cream cone. The ice cream was really, really good though the prices were steep yet they asked for a tip in addition to the steep prices. Even with that, however, I will return. I was impressed that they were open in the middle of a rainy, cloudy Sunday afternoon. Their serving the ice cream cone in a little container was a cute addition.“

“I ordered a fruity pebbles milkshake on doordash and it was great! It was packaged super neatly so that it was undamaged. And delicious! The texture is perfect and I love the balance of fruity and vanilla flavor. 10/10 I would come here again“

“Best ice cream around and new flavors are great“

“This place is Always busy!!

I have tried water ice, hand dipped ice cream, soft serve ice cream, pretzels, hot sausage.

The ice cream and water ice are served cold, its not melting all over the place when you get it, the pretzels were warm and soft , the hot sausages were very good!

Sometimes there is a line at the windows, it moves quickly!

You get a good sized portion for the price
They have sizes from small all the way up to quart
( water ice )
The water ice and ice creams are very flavorful!“

“This place is great. The ice cream is delicious, and the cones make it even better.

Small space, big flavor, and the prices aren't unreasonable.

Kid-friendliness: Seems like an ice cream shop in the 50's.“

“Excellent ice cream and fun for All!“

“Always friendly staff, good selection of products. Loving the multiple custards offered each day. Also, this location has hosted fundraisers for Providence Animal Center and other charities. Nice!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 have yet to visit since the new owners bought. I live across the country in SoCal. I WILL visit when I come home. My pop pop and aunt opened pops when I was 3! All I can say is I’m beyond happy that the new owners are bringing much needed life back into pops, and the Havertown community.“

“Please let me tell you I live for an hour and some odd minutes away from all day hoagie all day ice cream establishment.
I was bragging about the Hoagies to my friends, my sister I brought all of them down there at several different times and guess what they are in love with the food the cakes, the ice cream the sandwiches
it’s just a pleasant atmosphere and I’m just grateful that it’s a black on a establishment and I’m going to support them as long as I can. Thank you.

Dietary restrictions: If possible, if they want to add to their menu, low salt meats or no salt meats that would be great

But I am not complaining trust me“

“Best in Delco. The price is unbeatable and taste is yummy 😋😋😋👌🤘.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“what is your favorite song for you to“

“The young ladies are a bright, cheerful & most helpful… There is a large selection of flavors & kinds of water ice & ice cream make sure to ask what they would recommend they have tried them all! And sample some of the ones you may not think you would like… i do

Vegetarian options: Really??? It is water ice yes… ice cream no…

Dietary restrictions: Nuts everywhere!

Kid-friendliness: One of my daughters favorite places

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes… parking as well“

“My family and I typically visit the Folsom location—however we drove by and they were extremely packed (like, line all the way to the road packed!), so we decided to drive to this location instead, since it’s only a short distance. I’m so glad we did! Only one customer was there! And i’m not sure why, as the customer service was great, they have plenty of seating, a nice size/accessible parking lot, AND they have a drive-thru!“

“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!! ♡“

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

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

“Our Flourtown Rita's is the best & our favorite place to go for a refreshing water ice, custard, blendini, gelato and soft pretzel.
Owner~Jason is really tied to the community. Jason really stepped up.We recently went to him with a special request for 20+ giftcards to celebrate our son's birthday and he honored this request, got these cards done for us and this was a seamless transaction. Thank you to Jason and his amazing staff for outstanding service. Always going above and beyond :)“

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

“nice workers, clean place, fast and easy

Parking: plenty of spots.

Kid-friendliness: nice workers

Wheelchair accessibility: no ramp but could easily get my grandma in a wheelchair in.“

“Anybody who rates low because they came to buy on a hot day and long lines made them leave.... Needs to stay the hell home!!!!. Its popular because they have great tasting fresh products and prices. People order hot food and ice cream products. My favorite water ice spot and I drive to get here also.“

“Awesome! Tasty! Mango donuts. Try a fresh baked donut. What a light fluffy and tasty flavor. Perfect snacks. Great for a date or to go.

Wonderful staff and super proud of there products.

Come down and check out the awesome ice cream flavors. So many yummy drinks. Check out the photos for details. Place is super clean and professional.“

“Visited this establishment for the first time and I LOVE IT. My granddaughter daughter talked about Mochi donuts ? and booba teas.. we got so much, from donuts, smooties to hot cheeto corn dogs.. everything was delicious. Not to mention, my daughter left her purse there early in the day (yes we we twice in 1 day ??‍♀️) and we didn't know it. Customer service was excellent. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Also love the art work on the wall.“

“Rita's is garbage, ViaVento is nothing special , John's in South Philly always disappoints, waayyy over hyped! Buddy's(Nick) I wish u sold franchises, so more people could taste the BEST! Plus I would love to own 1 in Lancaster Co.“

“Delicious! Best water ice ever- flavors to die for.“

“Great flavors, homemade waffle cones. NW Philly was pretty much an ice cream wasteland except for Zsa’s which has very limited hours and flavors are not as good in my opinion. Then along comes Tubby Robot. What a wonderful business to support! Highly recommend. Wish all ice cream lovers knew about it. I’m surprised not to see lines because it’s sooo good.“

“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 😊“

“My mom requested a sundae bar for her 80th birthday and where better to get the ice cream than my favorite local creamery? We got quarts of vanilla, chocolate, vegan vanilla, vegan chocolate, and they even went out of their way to acquire the ingredients to make our all time favorite lemon poppy. Yum! Even my aunt who doesn’t like vanilla ice cream went back for second of vanilla because it was so delicious. Thanks, Crave, for helping make my mom’s 80th special.“

“big servings of ice cream, great sundaes and really good food. cheesesteak on the seeded roll was perfect! great addition to the area.“
