“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.“
“I think this place deserves a little more love. It was a bit too messy and needy when it debuted, but it seems to run just fine now. The yogurt is perfectly good and the fruit toppings are fine now, too. The best think about the place -- as opposed to, say, Pinkberrys -- is that you have control over the serving sizes. Price is right, hence very good value for money.“
“Amazing option for vegans!! Unfortunately they did do away with the vegan ice cream which I loved, but they brought Oatly in in its place, so I can't complain! The vegan options are delicious and the oatly pairs perfectly with it ❤️“
“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!“
“Delicious hand dipped ice creams today. We especially loved the Cookie Monster and the Salted Caramel Pretzel. Excellent service- very friendly. Yum! Highly recommend if you are in town!Kid-friendliness: Had both my kids with me- they picked out what they wanted in the glass case. Staff was very friendly and helpful.“
“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 !“
“We came in on a December Thursday night and were the only ones in the store. You're able to sample any flavor you want, which was great. We ended up getting thin mint and a pumpkin, which were both delicious. The sad part about winter is that not many people are coming in for ice cream, so the ice cream itself wasn't as creamy and had some ice chunks. I've come in the summer and thought the ice cream was delicious then. Give it a try if you're in the area!“
“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!“
“Look at the perfect swirl of the soft serve! The soft serve was rich and creamy with a smooth texture. We were shocked to get 8oz of soft serve for only $6 after we paid extra $0.5 for the waffle cone! Also if you’re wondering, it was totally worth it to get the waffle cone.If I ever go back I’ll try the coffee cookie dough ice cream that we didn’t have enough stomach space to try.＊ Vanilla Soft Serve with Dark Chocolate DipMy friend ordered this classic combo, simple but delicious. The Valrhona dark chocolate shell was thin and crispy, giving a satisfying crunch as we bit into it.＊Turkish Coffee & Donut Twist Soft ServeI was not the only person who was brave enough to order coffee soft serve at late night, as I kept seeing people holding the coffee/donut twist.The Turkish coffee tasted so unique that it didn’t taste like any other regular coffee soft serve. It captured a strong and robust flavor. While the donut side was sweeter and helped mellow out the intensity from the coffee.“
“Live love Chucks ? best water ice and custard in South Philly, everything is homemade and fresh and the owners are so sweet. Down to earth place, prices are affordable. Personal favorite ices are the black cherry, pina colada, and strawberry lemonade.“
“I couldn't put the cup down. It was sooooo fresh and tasty. I was able to try all the available options before purchasing. The mango lemonade was the best. I had the blueberry lemonade as well. That was great too. I love that I could see the fruit in the water ice. I definitely will be back to try other flavors and the funnel cake next time I'm in Philly!!“
“We chose Ariano for a baby shower and our experience was exceptional. From the moment Jamie, our waiter, greeted us until the moment we left we were impressed. Jamie was amazing, accommodating and professional. Ben, another waiter, was equally so. Both made us feel comfortable and welcome. The food was delicious, bountiful, and beautifully served. Timing for the different courses was perfect. As always, the upstairs room proved to be the most lovely space for our event and seated our 34 guests easily.From first inquiry to final details Nicolette, the event manager, was prompt, efficient and helpful and she made our event planning a breeze. Totally five stars for hospitality, food, and atmosphere.“
“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!“
“I stopped here with my kids over the summer & was surprisingly refreshed at how fresh the ice cream was. I wanted ice cream this past weekend & told my husband he should try this place. I got him a cookie monster milkshake & he was blown away at how tasty it was. I got ice cream with a waffle that was made fresh & we enjoyed that so much too“
“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.“
“Such a fun twist on soft serve topping boba milk tea with it. Lots of options and fully customizable and very fun. Small location so not much room to sit inside and eat if the weather isn’t nice, but easy to take on the go. Highly recommend.“
“Willkay’s is the best water ice and ice cream spot ever! My family and I come all the way from South Jersey just to get some delicious desserts from them all of the time. The owner and staff are very friendly, kind and pleasant to every customer. They always make us feel like family when we come visit from out of town. Their establishment is very clean and their food and water ice/ice cream are always fresh and delicious. They’re the best hands down! You definitely gotta visit try them whenever you are in the area.“
“Even in the middle of winter, this is a bright and sunny place to visit! Acai bowl was excellent, and their fruits are really fresh. Service was friendly too. Can't wait to try some other things off their menu -- they said that they make their own ice “
“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.“
“This place gets BUSY but the staff works incredibly hard and fast! The ice cream is light with a wide array of interesting flavors. Hard scoop type, no softserve/custards. They make their own waffle cones which always smell incredible-- sweet, vanilla-rich, and toasty.If you're newer to Jeni's, go when there isn't a crazy line to taste a couple flavors. It holds up the line like crazy when a party of people want to try every flavor and the rest of the line is spilling onto the street lol.Vegetarian options: Large selection of dairy based ice creams and some non-dairy!Dietary restrictions: notify staff if you have dietary restrictions! The scoops mostly share the same cleaning station.Parking: super limited street parking. Nearby paid garages and lots.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly ice creamWheelchair accessibility: It's a somewhat narrow location!“

“Very quick. A long line quickly formed behind us as my family was ordering. We sat on the benches there to enjoy our treats and I watched how the Rita's team "knock out" the line with ease. Many flavors of custard and water ice to choose from. They were busy and efficient! People left happy, including us. ?“
“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.“
“OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! This icecream is life changing!! Im about to go get a higher paying job and hit the gym 3x/day so I can eat this icecream EVERY DAY!!!! It tastes like the best moments of my childhood in a cone! It tastes like I died and went to heaven and fat little babie angels are flying around spraying magical sparkles over me! This icecream is not to be missed! Its the best icecream Iv had in my entire life of international travel!!!!!“

“Probably the largest assortment of flavors I’ve ever seen at a Rita’s! Outside seating and two parking lots on each side of the building. I mean they have 8+ ice cream flavors and like 12+ water ice flavors! Never seen so many opinions at any Rita’s. The crew here is super friendly mostly young adult with an adult supervisor who is kind and professional too! This is the Rita’s I go to when I want something new, unexpected or unusual lol trust me there’s so much to choose from! Clean outside but doesn’t stay that way for long - this place get packed! So go early and if on the weekends get ur to go home with lol this is a family place tons of variety for the lil ones.“
“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.,“
“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.“
“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.“
“I have got to say this must be one of the most simple burger joints I’ve been too in a nostalgic way even tho I wasn’t around for the memories but this place made me taste years worth of love and sweat over perfecting there food. I hope everyone that works here is making it ok and love what they do because it sure felt like the people cared! I will be coming back here every chance I get for a meal ❤️“

“I was out at the Home Depot in Broomall and was taking West Chester Pike home and came across this Rita's and decided to stop off. I went up to the window and looked at their menu. I was surprised to see they had a variety of custard flavors including mint, birthday cake along with the usual vanilla and chocolate. I decided to try the birthday cake custard in a medium cup. It came out to a little over $3, which I found to be fairly reasonable and it came out very fast. There was not much seating other than a few benches in the back, which were filled. However, they had a nicely sized parking lot that you could walk around and enjoy your sweet treat at. Altogether, this is a nice Rita's with a variety of water ice and custard flavors with good customer service.“
“I recently discovered this ice cream shop,CJ’S waterice & ice cream ? and it has quickly become my favorite. The flavors are rich and indulgent, and the texture is incredibly smooth. They also have a great pizza ? pretzels and funnel cake and fried Oreo , which is a huge plus. The shop itself is clean and inviting, and the prices are reasonable. It's the perfect spot to satisfy your ice cream cravings . ? ?“
“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.“

“Every time I have a cherry water ice with vanilla custard, I reminisce. It has been in my life for over 25 years, and it tastes the same since the first one way back when. These bad boys are the signature boop bop straight from pound town in my eyes. You must get the pretzel too especially if your from the Philadelphia area.“
“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.“
“This place is right next door to a really weird shaped building, pretty cool though. I like the thing that has the custard and the ice mixed, that's so good. Anyways, this was a nice Rita's and I think there's an insurance agency attached, so must be a nice family affair. Worth a lil drive to avoid the busier ones nearer me.“
“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!“
“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.“
