50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Drexel Hill

“They finally got smart and double-cupped my large Chocolate-dipped Strawberry Blizzard the past two days!“

“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.)“

“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!“

“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!“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Best ice cream . Very friendly people.“

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

“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 water ice was phenomenal“

“Best ice cream around and new flavors are great“

“VERY GOOD SERVICE THE WORKERS ARE SO NICE AND FRIENDLY“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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!!!!“

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

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

“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“

“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“

“what is your favorite song for you to“

“We got served by two male employees one named Dillion and I didn’t catch the other guys name. They were both really nice and patient my friend and I have never been before and there was a lot of option.
I got the s’more’s ice cream and my friend got a chocolate milk shake. The ice cream was delicious, my friend got treats inside her milkshake and I’ve never had a mason jar ice cream before so it was fun. We’ll be back there soon.“

“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!“

“We initially came here because we thought it was Vita, but that was right next door. However, we were not disappointed! The place is cute and has a few over the counter Italian goodies for purchase. We got gelato and hazelnut lattes. It was so delicious and the young man working there was wonderful, friendly, helpful, and clean. Excellent service and delicious gelato and coffee.“

“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.“
