50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Collingdale

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

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

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

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

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

“Very good water ice, thank you“

“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.)“

“So freakin' good! From the cheesy curly fries, to the delicious funnel cake, to the tasty milkshake topped with the best whipped cream. Yummm!“

“I try to leave reviews when a place is good but this one deserves 10 stars!!!
BEST water ice AND ice cream in Philly and around!!! I live in the city and can’t wait to get off from work (near chubby’s) to get my Gelati. So far I’ve tried pineapple mango and candy fish and they are all so delicious, not overly sweet and don’t taste artificial. The vanilla ice cream, is so creamy milky and flavorful that you’ll never want to go back to soft serve. Seriously this is so good. They have little tables in front of the shop where you can sit relax and enjoy your treat. The staff is kind and respectful.
Try it while you also support a local business, it’s a win win!“

“I only stopped in here to grab a coffee and all I want to do is go back! One of the best iced lattes I have ever had!

Super cute place with different food items for sale as well as a gelato counter.

But yeah if you live in Philly, let your coffee ☕ here!“

“Always a good time to get ice cream! They can have a long line sometimes, depending on time of day and of course weather. But they are still quick and I'm surprised at how quickly I move through the line. They call you to the window, as they hand out orders through the same window. Be prepared to hear what you ordered yelled out, they will take other orders through the window to keep things moving. Limited seating but most people take it and leave or walk. There's a bench on the corner at the light. It would be nice if they added a second trash can up that way at the edge of the parking lot since there's a spot no cars can park. Overall highly recommend, we've converted friends to coming here too. The fall flavors are all great, and they have a ton of different options to get.“

“Came here with my date for water ice and honestly loved it. Great flavors, great atmosphere, and the owner was really genuine and friendly. It’s always nice supporting a place where the customer service matches the quality of the food. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Good food. Good selection. I got a pumpkin spice gelati.“

“Siddiq's is a West Philly gem! The flavors are always creative and delicious, and the staff will encourage you to sample anything.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Van Leeuwen Ice Cream – A Love Letter in Every Scoop

If heaven had a freezer, it would be stocked with Van Leeuwen.

I came in for a treat and left with a religious experience. Their Coffee Affogato flavor is everything an espresso-lover dreams of—intensely bold, silky, with that creamy finish that wraps your tongue like a velvet curtain call. It’s not just coffee ice cream—it’s an Italian café pressed into a cone.

Then there’s Pistachio—not the artificial neon green kind, but the real-deal roasted pistachio essence. Nutty, rich, and quietly luxurious. It’s like they churned up a Mediterranean summer and handed it to me in a biodegradable cup.

But the showstopper? Marionberry Cheesecake. A fever dream of tart berry swirls and thick cheesecake folds, each bite a layered masterpiece. It’s tangy, it’s sweet, it’s slightly sinful—and completely addictive.

The staff were kind, the shop smelled like toasted sugar and happiness, and every flavor felt like it was made to be somebody’s favorite.

Glowing doesn’t even begin to cover it—Van Leeuwen is a shrine to the art of ice cream. Run, don’t walk.“

“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.“

“The best ice cream shop in our area hands down. Very nice portions, and the waffle cones are tasty.
The cookies are very solid as well (except perhaps the blended one).
Closed for the season during the winter, but we visit often when it is open.“

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

“Delicious ice cream! Very cute interior and nice seating outside. I got the mango sticky rice and caramel praline flavors. The ice cream was very creamy and satisfying. Very kind staff. Would love to come back again. Vegan options are available which is wonderful. Also appreciate how clear their signage is regarding potential allergens with an allergen list available via QR code. Very cool that their spoons are compostable and sample spoons are metal and thus washable. Love an environmentally friendly location.“

“Great desserts. Perfect cap of the night after Dinner in Chinatown.“

“A plethora of ice cream flavors in the lights at our mouthwatering and creamy. You can pick your favorite flavors or ask the creamery what their favorite flavor is for a delightful treat plenty of sodium inside and tasting available for your sweet tooth needs.“

“Such fun for these kiddos!“

“Best ice cream . Very friendly people.“

“I knew their cyclone machine was down, but I insisted upon one anyway. What I received was a beautiful work of art. My experience at twist was delightful because of the staff outstanding performance and eagerness to please customers. Five stars out of five! Way to go above and beyond yall!“

“The Pink Passion, and Pineapple Crush are off the chain👅👅👅“

“Incredible flavors! Blueberry cheesecake and salted caramel crunch with a waffle cone— remarkable🤌

The worker gave us two scoops for the price of one, so accommodating and so nice. Best ice cream in Philadelphia!“

“Had a great day with my kid. Ended the evening at Weckerly’s. The Ice Cream Sandwiches were great. Fun time, highly recommended.“

“Franklin Ice Cream is a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! They have a wide variety of delicious ice cream flavors, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the shop has a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a treat with family or friends. Everything tasted fresh and creamy. I would definitely come back to try more flavors. Highly recommend!“

“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.)“

“Must try the matcha+black magic combo on waffle! Matcha is my fav. So happy they have that flavor and it tastes GOOD! I used to have to go all the way to Chinatown to get that matcha ice cream. Staffs are friendly too, one of my fav places to go in the area now.“

“They have the best customer service. I got a cookie tin and canolis. Both were of such high quality. Great Italian bakery!“

“I love this place all the yummy 😋 ice cream“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

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

“They recently catered at a grad party I attended and I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! Being from CA, we don’t have water ice so trying the mango and passion fruit flavors HIT SO GOOD!! Would definitely come to grab some more whenever I’m in Philadelphia again.“

“I’ve been dying for an ice cream date since the winter and I finally got my wish! My date told me this was the place to get ice cream and made the 10 minute walk over. We were greeted by a line when I frowned and he said that it’s fast moving. I shrugged. Once we figured out where the end was, told me to pull up Instagram to check out what the weekly offerings were. Peculiar I thought. Honestly, I was disheartened by what was available this week of no fault of their own. But! I know now to check when I’m in town for something I’d really want - to convince for more ice cream dates. There is a regular albeit small menu. To be delight, it has my favourite ice cream staple on it, soft serve and m&ms or what they call a Brick. The line to the inside was also fast moving like promised. There were two registers that were asymmetrically split as most wanted soft serve in that moment. The inside was.. busy. Once the ice cream came out tho we were back on the street enjoying it! I got my brick which was a fantastic price for a city treat. My date got an Oreo dripped cone that he was boosting about in line. Definitely more his taste.

TLDR - the ice cream is delicious, check the Instagram, and don’t be discouraged by a line - instead make some friends!“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“As somebody who can't have dairy, it's extremely difficult to find ice cream I can eat, let alone SOFT SERVE!!! This place is a godsend. The vegan vanilla is super delicious and they have a wide variety of topping options for extra flavor. My husband is a big fan of their regular, dairy-full soft serve too. Love this place!!“

“I'm obsessed w/Malai's flavors particularly the Masala Chai and Sweet Roti. But for the love of God, please invest in a paper covering for all pints.“

“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“

“mixture of flavors freeze ur brain and all ur senses #ScoopDeville #buzzybooth“

“The place was crowded on a Friday eve. They were out of ube ice cream. I got the matcha soft serve instead which was pretty good. They have generic flimsy plastic spoon utensils that you just grab - wish they have more hygienic ones that they give to you in your ice cream or those sealed single use wooden ice cream scoopers.

The place is nothing fancy and not for a quiet sit down but you can get your ice cream or drink here to go.“

“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.“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“
