50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Havertown

“Saw the roadside sign about new ice cream cakes and decided to order one. This is the type with just ice cream but you get to customize the mix or vanilla/chocolate, the sauce and candy crunch filling, and the sprinkles. The only thing they don’t do is write on the cake. It is a bit pricey but it is huge. The fudge wasn’t quite all the way through but it was very good. Service was also excellent - when the cake needed more time to freeze, they offered to deliver it if I wanted, discounted the cake, and gave me a coupon.

They now take credit cards but impose a fee. Debit cards aren’t charged but it isn’t clear on the signage or the screen, only once you get a receipt is the surcharge not there.“

“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“

“I ordered from this spot for the very first time. Specifically, the plain Stromboli, Old Bay wings, boardwalk fries and the loaded salad. Everything was great. The marinara sauce is crazy🔥🔥🔥🔥. Zero complaints and I am now a returning customer.“

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

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“Best Gelato I've had, Cherry...(I will be trying all flavors). Best in the city in my opinion!! The Soft Serve is soft, thick and creamy, so delicious!! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are plentiful. Nice, friendly staff, clean establishment. My family and I have made this our #1 Ice Cream 🍨🍦 Spot!!!! 😋“

“This was the cutest little shop that I came across. Went to check out the King of Prussia mall 10/11/25 and I happened upon this store. AT first it looked like it was an ice cream parlor because of the ice cream cones in the window of the store. But I wanted to check it out and lo and behold, it was a gelato and chocolate shop. It reminded me of when I visit Europe and I am shopping for treats for my colleagues. It was cute, clean and the one of the sales person/cashier was very knowledgeable out the products. She was very patient and took her time with me and even gave me a taste of a couple of the chocolates. The packaging on some of the items were very cute. I spent over $100 on treats for my colleagues. Excessive right? LOL! It was worth it and it made my trip to the mall much more rewarding. Thanks to the young lady who helped me. Very petite, Asian, maybe she was a college student who helped me. Really appreciate it.“

“DELICIOUSLY GREAT WATER ICE GO GET YOURS very friendly service thanks for stopping in charleston wv“

Nice flavors nice location very close to smart kids at UPenn but again always line of people.
PS. I got the fall flavors : hazelnut & pumpkin. 🎃“

“This ice cream, funnel cake and water ice shop is fantastic! The staff are super fast and always make sure you’re satisfied with your order. There’s a wide variety of delicious choices on the menu, and everything tastes amazing. The employees are not only polite but also really funny. I highly recommend this spot — I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always worth it!“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

“Today, we tried Frosty Falls for Lunch! I got spicy sausage with pepper and onion and my little one got meatball sub. The food was great, those toast warm rolls amazing! We will definitely be having lunch at (we call it ice cream house) Frosty Falls again! We have ALWAYS love the ice cream!“

“My husband and I absolutely adore Curly's Carnival Eats and Creamery! It’s our favorite place to escape and indulge our inner kids. The atmosphere is vibrant and nostalgic, perfectly capturing the fun spirit of the fair without the crowds. Every bite from the perfectly crispy funnel cakes to the decadent, creative ice cream flavors, is a celebration.

The portions are generous, the staff is cheerful, and it’s truly a unique spot that we look forward to visiting every time. If you want great desserts and fantastic carnival classics, make sure to bring your partner, family, friends, etc and check out Curly's! Highly, highly recommend!“

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

“Got a double of the Merci Boku 2.0. Was the right amount of Cinnamony, caramelly indulgence with cake chunks. Will definitely go back for new flavours next time I'm around. Decided it was good enough for a picture after a few too many bites.“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

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

“I usually don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but Lu and Aug’s is changing that! Their soft serve is perfect — smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. Between simple vanilla to their more extravagant specialities, Lu and Aug’s has brought something different and delicious to the Main Line sweet treat scene. I especially look forward to their seasonal flavor drops. My favorites so far have been lavender earl grey and just yesterday, chai spice. I actively look forward to seeing what flavor they are going to come up with next! I also recently tried their hot chocolate which was yummy. The staff is super friendly and service is quick, even when they are busy (which is most of the time!). Definitely recommend visiting this great spot in Ardmore.“

“Love! The Cosmic Beets ice cream sandwich was delicious! I was hesitant to order it, but so glad I did. Hoping to see dark chocolate ginger on the menu again soon.“

“I love this spot. My go-to order is the Earl Grey bubble tea topped with the Vietnamese iced coffee ice cream. It’s perfectly balanced: the tea’s floral notes shine through while the ice cream adds a deep, mellow sweetness that never feels overpowering. I’ve been back a few times now, not just for the sweet treats but for the aesthetics—the desserts look gorgeous, and the space itself is bright and great for hanging out with friends. It’s become an easy favorite!“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“We love coming to Vita! Whether it’s a quick stop for their home made gelato or a night out for dinner, we know we are always going to get a solid product. The pasta is very fresh, and they offer a variety of other Italian dishes which always hit the spot. And the gelato is 10/10. Best spot in Philly!“

“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!“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

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

“Amazing ice cream place! I went here and got the Lemon Bar and Almond Brittle half scoops in a waffle cone, both delicious. Here they usually do half scoops, so I got two flavors. Lemon bar was sour and creamy. The almond brittle was crunchy and had a sweet caramel flavor. A two-half-scoop treat is the perfect dessert after dinner“

“It’s an absolute institution! Do people give me crap because I usually get the chocolate and for some reason folks are haters? Yes. That’s on them though. If you want some authentic, Philly area water ice from the first place I ever had it as a kid, hit up Buddy’s! So good!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my experience here!!! The Peanut Butter Explosion was amazing, and the gentleman with the red hair was very pleasant and accommodating! Thanks 😊“

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

“what is your favorite song for you to“

“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 and they deliver!“

“I went inside Rita’s today with my mom. The shop was small and cute. I told one of the workers that I applied for the job as a part time team member. They said that they will look at applicants next week. Anyways, I ordered a cotton candy Italian ice and it was delicious. I would recommend going there.“

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

“Very good ice cream store! it's my favorite,and the ice cream is really good! I love this place and I feel like it should get more people.And just to tell ya,the people speak Spanish and English which is great for my family! So,I give this a 5/5!! ♡“

“I wanted to shout out Kaitlyn for making my dog a special treat after I told her he’ll be going to doggy heaven soon! So sweet he loved it thank you 😊“

“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.“

“Establishment does not support their community. When my non profit org approached them for a donation for a children's event in the community they declined. The manager would not give out any additional information. Totally unprofessional!“

“Very creative customize your own froyo shop. You can fill up your cup with whatever flavor(s) you desire and then pick your own toppings from the toppings bar and they include various fun toppings such as gummy bears, cookie dough, brownie bits, boba pearls, lego candy, cereals, and more. They also offer chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, pb sauce, and marshmallow sauce. Very fun and kid friendly inside with colorful chairs and booths. It’s refreshing to see a fun place geared towards children“

“I have absolutely no idea who Benson Boone is, but I love his cookie collaboration with crumble, maybe he's in the wrong business, he should definitely be making desserts not songs. Crumble cookies are super soft, delicious, and sugary, my mom and dad and I all loved them!“
