50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Elkins Park

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“Great Ice Cream shop. They’re Birthday cake ice cream is legit deliciousness. Espresso xplosion and graham slaps too.“

“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.“

“I have been buying the buttermilk berry cornbread such a unique flavor. It’s so good. I’m so addicted to it. I’ve never tasted such a grape flavor in ice cream ever.“

“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!“

“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!“

“good place for getting some relaxing time.“

“Really nice small local ice cream shop with about 12 flavors to choose from. The ice cream is flavorful and creamy and the price is fair for the amount you get. Limited seating inside and unfortunately no seating outside, probably because of the neighborhood.

Dietary restrictions: No sure about lactose free options

Parking: A decent amount of street parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking“

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

“The Cookie Monster ice cream was my son’s favorite!“

“Best homemade gelato money can buy from a small business!“

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

“Angel Nunez had amazing customer service. Ice cream was great recommend the peach ice cream it was bomb!!“

“Love this place!! The last two times the soft serve has been a little melted when it was served so I had to eat it pretty fast to avoid a mess but still some of the best soft serve. I love that they make it on site! I do wish they let you mix chocolate/vanilla with either of their two feature flavors though 💔“

“We tried the chocolate chip cookie skillet with vanilla ice cream and it was delicious! We also tried a peanut butter cookie skillet with the salted caramel ice cream and that combination was an absolute Star ⭐️ The cookies are freshly baked to order, Highly recommend! If you are in the Merchantville area, definitely check these guys out. The shop is clean and family friendly! 😃“

“Stopped in during the food truck festival and was blown away by the great service and fresh treats! 5/5 definitely recommend!!“

“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.“

“Great ice cream and open year round!!“

“Cute place with a great menu of tasty treats 🍨🍦🍧🧋“

“I dont have a lot of experience with dairy queen but ive been to this one a few times and always have had a good experience.This time i went in for my birthday blizzard and the app was being stupid and not giving me the correct coupon code. We had Lilly making our blizzards and she was very patient while i wrestled with the app and helped me be able to get my birthday blizzard.Thanks Lilly! And id definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a high quality dessert treat all year long!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Great sundaes 🍨 cute place“

“My family and I LOVE CHERRY'S! We live about 30 minutes away but travel there for tasty treats. We love the dole whips, water ice, all things ice cream, even their pizza and pretzels are amazing. We've gone for their events and my kids and I have had the best time, great customer service and it's so clean. Cherry’s is always a family favorite!“

“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!“

“Please stop by this location with the newer owners! This is our go to spot for our blizzards and also for everyone’s birthday cake! They always have the cake we need at the last minute and always are willing to personalize it. The woman was so sweet last time we got a cake and she let my daughter help her with writing on the cake. They also made a donation for my daughter’s softball team fundraiser that was very generous. Definitely make this your go to Dairy Queen!“

“This is a review mostly for the Popalong Truck run by Weckerly's, although because my husband and I love the scoop shops so much, that's the main reason we booked the truck for our wedding!

One of our most favorite things in the world is ice cream, and so we knew we wanted to reach out to Weckerly's for their Popalong truck option.

They absolutely delivered.

They were great with communication, pricing, and helping us determine what package would be the best for us.

Our guests could not stop talking about the ice cream and popsicles, and some even got seconds and thirds!!

Some of our favorite photos are of us by the colorful and cute ice cream truck.

They were right on time for when they should arrive at the venue, and the staff member working the event was incredibly friendly.

They were prompt with our emailed questions and very professional and kind. We were super happy with our package options and flavor options, and nothing was last minute with them; they reached out well in advance with when we needed to make these decisions, and were seamless to work with.

So happy that they could be a part of our big day and we'd recommend the Popalong truck to anyone looking to have a fun and unique dessert option for their wedding day as well!“

“Great food, great staff, plus Irish goodies!“

“Delicious ice cream - homemade -and the waffle cones are amazing. Check it out!“

“Their ice-cream cakes are amazing and priced very reasonably!“

“Str8 Up Awesomeness At Its Best!!!!“

“Great service.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The employees here are so sweet and helpful. Delicious ice cream cakes can’t wait to get another one soon. Currently dreaming about it!!!“

“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.“

“Rita's water ice I like what they have I tried the coffee one it was really good“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“
