50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Darby

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

“Very flavorful Ice cream. Service in Ft Worth, TX was great. Made for enjoyable afternoon.“

“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!“

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

“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.)“

“While the prices are high and the lines are long, it is worth it. The flavors were rich, the texture was dence and the portions were large. Particularly the sour cherry was my favorite by far. The contrast of sour and sweet worked really well. The waffles cone added a great texture and they can even make it vegan too.

The staff was super friendly and had tones of energy which is more than I could say for myself if I was taking care of so many people all fay long. The line when we went wasn't too bad since it was late on a weekday.“

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

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

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

“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!“

“Very good water ice, thank you“

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

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

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

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

“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.“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

“Best ice cream . Very friendly people.“

“Came for espresso and sat at the espresso bar. All the gentlemen at the bar were pleasant to chat with. The espresso tasted great. It’s roasted in house and the quality of the espresso machine makes the 5 star quality beverage. True Italian experience.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is so great. It was criminal of me not to ask her name, but the lady working the register was extremely pleasant. Upon ordering a brownie sundae, I let her know that I didn’t want the cherry that comes on top. She gave me my sundae, and told me that instead of the cherry I didn’t want, they put an extra little piece of brownie on top for me 🥹 it was such a sweet gesture, it really made my day. Thank you Twist Creamery!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“This dessert spot is a dream for soft-serve lovers! I got the taro soft serve, and it was perfectly smooth, creamy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha and taro swirl in the bubble tea cup was another standout—such a unique combo, and the little waffle cookies on top were a cute touch! The portion sizes are generous, and the flavors taste fresh and natural. The shop itself has a clean, modern vibe, making it a great place to sit and enjoy your treat. Highly recommend for anyone craving high-quality soft-serve and fun dessert drinks!“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful experience tonight. We were out walking our dog when we stopped in. A woman out front was kind enough to take us to the to go part of the store to skip the line. The ice cream was delicious and the Chinese takeout container was a fun touch. I’d recommend stopping for a fun atmosphere and sweet treat.“

“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.“

“I never would have expected ginger, miso, and honeycomb to work so well for ice cream, but it does. The scoop was huge, price reasonable, service super friendly. The place is so unassuming that it would be easy to pass up but this flavor in itself would make me want to go back.“

“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“

“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“

“Got a half scoop of milky chocolate and a half scoop of darkest chocolate. They were SO delicious! I want more!! It was served with a piece of waffle cone.
When you enter, you are immediately greeted by the smell of fresh waffle cones. The staff were super friendly on a Saturday evening. I didn’t realize this place was so big in the area when I went, but I’m so glad I tried it out. I’d definitely be back when I am in the area!

Parking: Paid street parking“

“Without a doubt, the best Italian Water Ice around!“

“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!“

“would recommend coming here for matcha! i got a large maiko special with matcha and lychee ice cream. the staff were really nice and even offered to give out samples of the ice cream for us to try. overall this is a great place to chill out and hang out with friends. plus they have great taste in jpop and jrock music too.“

“jacob is a master of veg cuisine, but he slings killer vegan pints like you wouldnt believe. i stop by weekly to yap and pick up a few flavors, and i never regret it. do yourself a flavor and get with the program. any time mango/guava makes an appearance, i ball out.“
