50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Havertown

“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.“

“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.“

“We enjoyed it. Way better than the one on Haverford Road.“

“I would like to thank Denise for her great customer service she went above and beyond to help me I wanted a certain flavor of water ice and she was so kind to find it for me I really appreciate her kindness Thank you again for your kindness Calvin“

“The food is delicious. Everything they make is five stars.

My only complaint is they overpromise on there pick up time. For example, they will say it will be ready in 30 minutes but when I show up, it was actually ready 15 minutes ago ago, so I end up with a boardwalk pizza that is cold by the time i gets home. My feedback to them: be more precise with their pick up time. What I’ve done to combat it is drive over to pick up the pizza as soon as I make the phone call even if I’m waiting for a few moments. Nothing beats driving home with piping hot food.“

“I enjoy Venchi’s gelato in Italy and surprised and excited to find it in the States. For those who appreciate quality chocolates and gelato, check out this store in KOP Mall. Their gelato is made on-site. They are pricy, but worth every penny. I enjoyed the Tiramisu with Brutto & Buono.Jenn and her staff are very friendly and happy to offer gelato samples at their only location in PA. If you are visiting the Mall, make sure to stop in for the perfect dessert and to enjoy the aesthetics Venchi’s offers. The adornment of a full window of ice cream cones and a wall of chocolate bars are very attractive. It makes you feel like you have been transported to Italy.They also offer crepes and beverages (including Affogato).“

“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!“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“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!“

“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!“

“Omg! I ordered a smoked turkey hoagie with cooper sharp cheese, and it was amazing! The store was clean, well stocked with chips and other goodies. The staff today was small, but my sandwich was made with very little wait! The young lady who took my order was friendly and polite. The owner, if I'm not mistaken, made my order, and the love and care she put into my lunch was too tier.
Thanks Sistas! You guys are doing your thing!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best ice cream around and new flavors are great“

“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“

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

“And the best fudge , Carmel apples and ice cream“

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

“Great location! They quickly served our group of over 100 people ( two busloads) on a recent Friday afternoon. We'll be back!“

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

“they have the best yogurt in town“

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

“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!“

“Truly this new father & son duo have changed the store around. I grew up here and just because on conveniencei stuck with this store but truly has to be the best ritas in the area always clean and a great staff and no matter the time flavors are there“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

“Visited this establishment for the first time and I LOVE IT. My granddaughter daughter talked about Mochi donuts ? and booba teas.. we got so much, from donuts, smooties to hot cheeto corn dogs.. everything was delicious. Not to mention, my daughter left her purse there early in the day (yes we we twice in 1 day ??‍♀️) and we didn't know it. Customer service was excellent. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Also love the art work on the wall.“

“Excellent ice cream and fun for All!“

“I have only try four different flavors and they’re delicious 😋 next time I may have to order a bigger size 🥰“

“Please keep the Chocolate Cherry Chunk all year. It is THE BEST!!!“

“Anybody who rates low because they came to buy on a hot day and long lines made them leave.... Needs to stay the hell home!!!!. Its popular because they have great tasting fresh products and prices. People order hot food and ice cream products. My favorite water ice spot and I drive to get here also.“

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“
