Truly one of those places where everyone finds something they love!“

“Frozen Wonders Cafe is a VIBE ❤️ great atmosphere and great staff. I’m sorry Mr. Softy but you need to take a page out of this page book, Milkshake Mondays is my new favorite day of the week. But the Loaded Funnel Cake was something special 💕 all I need to try next is the Gelati and I might have a new go to spot. I like that there open all year round so when I get that cookies and cream urge in the middle of winter I will be coming. Thanks again for the wonderful experience 😋😋“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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!“

“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.)“

“I love Zsa's and I have to exercise self control every time I pass. It's a local gem and sooooo yummy. The brown butter pecan is my absolute favorite but I haven't found any flavors that I didn't like. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options (including cones). Service is usually quick even when the line stretches past the building. So glad a new owner was able to take over and it didn't have to close... and that they brought in some new flavors. The matcha, Thai tea and mango sticky rice all slapped 🤤 I can't wait to see what else they come up with!“

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

“Love this little place! So glad we came here after a swim at Bridesburg Pool few weeks ago. We've been making sure Now to stop after our swims lately, My Daughter and I. Never disappoints and the staff are So friendly. I highly recommend the Funnel fries and ice cream combo. But Honestly I wanna try EVERYTHING on the Menu! 😁 Just Go!!“

“Best place ever!!!
Whatttt!!??!? I haven’t been this exited about food in a while!
We got the tosti ceviche, the Mexican hot dog, lathe cream cheese strawberry popsicles, we got the crepes too… omg worth every single penny“

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

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

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

“Stopped by Lu & Aug’s in Ardmore, PA, and this place is a sweet little gem! I tried the Wild Mint Chocolate and Toffee Pecan, and both were smooth, creamy, and full of flavor.

The Wild Mint Chocolate had that cool, refreshing mint taste with a rich chocolate kick. It was not boring or basic at all — it tasted fresh, sweet, and perfect for a warm day.

The Toffee Pecan was my favorite for that dessert-style flavor. It had a buttery, nutty taste with little crunchy pieces that made every sip better. Sweet, creamy, and packed with texture.

The presentation was simple but clean, and the drinks looked just as good as they tasted. Lu & Aug’s is definitely a spot worth checking out if you are in Ardmore and want something cold, sweet, and satisfying.

Foodie verdict: Creamy, flavorful, and worth the stop. I would definitely come back for more.

Location: Lu & Aug’s
28 Rittenhouse Pl, Ardmore, PA 19003

“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!“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

“My husband and I went to Meadowlark Bakery and Cafe this morning after learning that they hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for those who needed a place to go. We try to support places that support those in the community and do good. We’ve been there before for coffee and pastries, which are amazing, but we never had any other food. We have been missing out! We both got a breakfast sandwich and they were amazing! My biscuit was light and buttery, our eggs were perfectly fried, and both sandwiches had generous amounts of breakfast meat and came with tots. They had a wonderful Santa for the kids and a nice warm enclosed area for eating. Meadowlark, thank you for being a part of our community and helping those in need. It does not go unnoticed and we will absolutely be back to support you, your business, delicious food, and the good you are doing!“

“Love coming here. Wide variety and good prices.“

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

“This bakery never disappoints! Both of my girls loved your Gryffindor cupcakes at Harry Potter days in the early 2000s. You made a gorgeous celestial cake for my oldest during the pandemic and, most recently, a beautiful and delicious 25th birthday cake with the F1 theme she asked for. Thank you for such consistent quality over the years! ❤️“

“My husband and I heard so much about this place so we decided to give it a try. We both got turkey hoagies one honey and one gourmet. The hoagies were amazing but we brought 2 slices of cake one strawberry and one carrot. the cake was disappointing they had a good flavor but was very dry. However I will be back to try the chicken Caesar hoagie.“

“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.“

“Such good ice cream and so many gluten free and dairy free choices clearly labeled! Employee that helped us had great customer service! Super kind was happily greeting all customers that came in. She asked us all if we wanted to try anything too.“

“Delicious ice cream 🍨, good prices, awesome 😎“

“Not only did the owner of this store go out of his way to get me a cake made when I screwed up and ordered too late but all of our guests said it was the best ice cream cake they ever had. I have locations closer to me but this is the one we will be going to from now on and I am telling all of my friends and family the same.“

“Mango and custard so delicious combo. Ridiculously good!!!“

“Summertime must! How to keep cool.“

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

“so good. I just found their products at GFS. Very delicious. I'll be ordering it often.“

“I've been waiting on this location to open up and boy was it worth the wait!!! Dre's has the BEST water ice and ice cream in Philly... and if your looking for gourmet ice cream try the sweet potato pie or banana pudding flavor they are to die for I noticed it at the retail location but it can also be found at all Browns Family Shop-rite stores.“

“I’ve come here a few times and have had pleasant experiences all the times I’ve come here. The last time I came here I got a turtle sundae and my friend got the black and white milkshake and they were both really good, highly recommend. Would come back again.“

“Always a good day for Nellie Bly's ice cream! It's a complete ice cream parlor experience!“

“the homemade ice cream is amazing!!“

“Older lady made it right. Came here a week ago and they did not fill my quart of water ice to the top. Came back tonight and had asked them to please make sure it was filled and possibly the manager gave me a regular size to make up for the missing water ice in the quart, I definitely appreciated this, good customer service. Will make sure I always come to this location now!“

“I'm just rating the name. A star will be deducted each time ICE passes by without being mooned.“

“Delicious root beer gelati 🎊🎉🎊🎉“

“Rita’s in Ambler is a total summer staple! The Italian ice is always fresh and packed with flavor, and the custard is perfectly creamy. It’s the best quick treat on a hot day - affordable, fun, and always hits the spot. A must-stop all summer long!“
