50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Collingdale

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had anywhere. Hands down. (Two ultimate favs are the Earl Grey with Honeycomb and the Pistachio. Just perfect.)“

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“This place is pretty good. They only have a couple flavors I like, but the ones I like are good. The cookie dough brownie flavor was a disappointment when I tried it. The strawberry is just not good--takes artificial. The praline butter cake, pumpkin cheesecake (fall flavor), and carrot cake dulche de Leche (fall flavor) are all very good though. Portion sizes are good. Employees/service is good. Has an automatic door and is wheelchair accessible, although the concrete is kind of uneven and bumpy leading into the store, so might have a little trouble in a wheelchair.“

“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!“

“Great service, lots of variety - and not just the flavors: ice cream, cookie desserts, pretzels, and more. This isn't your ordinary water ice spot. 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.“

“Reminds me of snow cone places back home! Snack options and I love the water ice options and flavors! I can’t remember which flavors I had, it was guava and 2 others. DIVINE! Super nice staff too! However, I’ll pass on the pizza pretzels. I’m not from here, so keep that in mind.

Would go back either way.“

“As per always, our eating experience was outstanding in every way. We enjoy bringing friends here, as each and every one of them also enjoys the meal and the service (shout out to Carlos?). Every dish is delicious, there are no wrong picks.“

“Incredible ice cream, but extremely disappointing to see a lone employee left to deal with a line of 30+ people, on Labor Day at that. Would be great to see more appreciation for employees, we felt so bad for the girl working. Her attitude and ability to stay calm was impressive and inspiring!“

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

“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.“

“Cozy ice cream spot with some traditionally flavors (chocolate, vanilla etc) but the best part are the unique flavors of ice cream they offer (lychee rose, sesame butter, taro, coffee milk tea), plenty of options for toppings and the egg waffle is also a very unique feature. Great ice cream with a twist!“

“Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is an absolute delight! We stopped by during lunch and were greeted by a friendly, welcoming staff member. Even though she was stocking when we arrived, she immediately took the time to assist us with our order and made some excellent recommendations.

We decided to try the seasonal passion fruit ice cream and the Earl Grey tea flavor. Both were phenomenal! The ice cream is clearly made with high-quality ingredients, resulting in a rich, creamy texture and vibrant flavors. The passion fruit ice cream was particularly spectacular—refreshingly tangy with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s a flavor that truly stands out among their impressive variety.“

“My visit to this Frozen Rolled Ice Cream Shop was a truly delightful experience. It was fascinating to watch the ice cream being rolled right before my eyes, showcasing the impressive skill of the staff.

One of the highlights was the abundance of toppings they offer. They're very generous—you get to choose three toppings, and they don't hold back, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor and texture.

Being a fan of green tea, I couldn't resist trying their "Hulk" flavor, which combines green tea with Oreo. It was a delightful blend, with the subtle green tea flavors harmonizing perfectly with the crunchy Oreo bits. Their menu features a wide range of options, ensuring there's something to satisfy every taste.

Whether you prefer classic flavors or enjoy experimenting with unique combinations, this place delivers. With their skilled preparation, plentiful toppings, and diverse flavor selection, it's a spot that promises a memorable ice cream experience.

Parking: Limited street parking along arch Street. there are paid lots on corner of 10th and Arch, 11th and Arch, 11th and Cherry.“

“The staff are great and the treats are high quality, fresh and top tier. Siddiq's water ice is unique because it's made with real fruit and the flavors are all amazing. There's no other place like it in the city. You don't have to feel guilty about allowing yourself or your children to indulge in his water ice. I love the blueberry the most but honestly all the flavors are amazing. It's hard to choose.“

“Cute little place and a good late night stop. It does get busy. Got milkshakes and they were awesome. Chocolate and vanilla both equally good. Not from the area but it seems like window service is typical in this area. Not really a fan of it though but that’s just personal preference. It didn’t take away from the experience, service, or quality of the ice cream. Staff was friendly and pleasant, would come again and definitely recommend.“

“Best pretzel I have ever tasted and at a great price!“

“Best ice cream . Very friendly people.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The best soft serve in South Jersey!

Parking: Plenty of parking. Easy handicap accessibility. And a small car show across the street on Monday evenings...!

Kid-friendliness: It's a family ice cream parlor. Kids can be kids. Even the big kids can be kids...!

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is right up front“

“This was the first time back to Don & Bert's in 27 years and it hasn't really changed much. It was so good back then and still is. I grew up going on a Friday night for some cheese fries and a pb shake. Still as good as I remember. I hope this place is around forever. Paulsboro's little gem!!!!“

“Wide variety of hand dipped and soft serve ice cream flavors. Nice small selection of water ice flavors. They offer candy and other ice cream treats such as banana splits, milkshakes, and more. Very good place for kids, it’s small inside but they also offer outdoor seating.“

“The kids that helped me were very nice, engaging, thorough and professional. The young lady noticed something I was wearing and complimented me on it.

Parking: There isn’t much parking during the summer season so it’s mainly double parking and a speedy return“

“I absolutely loved our visit to the ice cream shop. The ladies went above duty serving our party with kindness even late in the evening. I was excited about the choices of ice cream available and the charm that the shop had. What a great place to visit. They are outstanding.“

“Tried a homemade apple ice cream that was out of this world!“

“As someone who has egg allergy this is one of the best places to have ice cream. Curious enough, Jeni's ice cream don't contain eggs, which is awesome. The ice cream flavors are so unique and they are all amazing! I particularly recommend the blueberry lavender and the peanut butter one. Great flavors. I just have to highlight that the service needs to drastically improve! There was a line with 40 people and one person working behind the counter. The wait time to get an ice cream was over 50 minutes. Please be more attentive with that.

Vegetarian options: More vegan options could be added to the menu. When I visited there was only two

Dietary restrictions: Two vegan options and most of their ice creams are both gluten free and egg free.“

“Excellent portions! And old fashioned ice cream sundaes and floats!“

“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!“

“ICE CREAM…When you need the real thing, made with high quality ingredients and masterfully blended, Zsa’s is your place. No artificial ice milk with pretend ingredients just incredible and delicious ice cream…. Yes with real cream!! Every time I come to Philly we visit our favorite ice cream store. My wish would be that they have more outside seating. IF you are gluten free try their ice cream cookie sandwich which was so wonderful that I don’t know the high value adjectives to describe it. Just try it.“

“Excellent, highly recommended. Came here early evening on a Tuesday, no line and took ice cream sandwiches and popsicles to go. Lemon sandwich and then the Butterscotch sandwich and Mango passion fruit popsicles. The most quiet, peaceful, bland, non ice cream looking shop. Oh well, the food counts. Yummy!“

“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.“

“My Brother had been wanting to go there….so we pulled up today. I got a Strawberry Milkshake with whipped cream and a cherry on top. The presentation was beautiful. And it was delicious. I got a Fruity Pebbles Milkshake for my Daughter and it was delicious and looked amazing. I will definitely go again and try something different. Service is amazing! The young lady was very courteous.“

“Delicious ice cream, recommend the waffle bowl as it made the price somewhat worth it. Staff were very nice to us, quick service and made it easy. It did feel very expensive over local places with more unique flavors though, but it's in a good location.“

“Hands down the best water ice ive ever had. We keep our freezer over in Marcus Hook Refinery loaded. The lady Shannon at the front desk is a doll, always polite and always smiling. A awesome place to do business with.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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 tried the tequila and mamay, omg, so delicious. The woman there was very pleasant a d helpful with choices. Thank you for making my ice cream just right! Definitely recommended“

“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!“

“Lil pop shop is one of the places in Philly that never disappoints. Stumbled upon this shop in West Philly while on a nighttime stroll and since then have come back multiple times to try their variety of original popsicles. There’s flavors like matcha Mochi, Vietnamese ice coffee, mango sticky rice, watermelon lime, and more! The popsicles seem to be made with natural ingredients and minimal artificial flavors. Their decor is also so cute and cheerful. This popsicle and ice cream shop is sure to brighten your day!“

“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!“

“Cool local spot for unique ice cream creations and old fashioned soda fountain drinks. Also sell a limited selection of baked goods from their partners a few doors down at Shane Confectionary. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.“

“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“
