50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Jenkintown

“First time trying crumbl and this location was close by so we stopped in. I didn’t like it was only a few selections to choose from saying though we wanted to give our honest review. They were nice and warm I can say and great presentation. I just wish I could have tried more flavors. The churro was my favorite by far and the cookies an cream cheesecake not so much. I will return soon to try any new flavors.“

“I really love this coffee shop, it’s the only decent one that I know of in the area too. I also like buying their beans cause they smell and taste so good. I get the giddy up one, smell it and you’ll know what I mean. I always get a basic oat milk latte but I’ve tried my friend’s lavender latte and they put actual lavender in it which is awesome.“

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

“Absolutely delicious!
Van Leeuwen is a dessert lover’s dream. The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by bright, colorful, and quirky wall art that instantly lifts your mood. I ordered a waffle cone with two scoops – one rich chocolate and one creamy coffee/caramel flavor – and both were incredible. The ice cream is smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The waffle cone was fresh and perfectly crisp.

The staff were friendly, the store was spotless, and the overall vibe was fun and inviting. A perfect spot to treat yourself or enjoy with friends. Highly recommend trying their unique flavors like Honeycomb or Earl Grey Tea!“

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

“Great Ice Cream, friendly staff, good prices, & quick service“

“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!“

“Stopped by Curly’s Carnival Eats & Creamery and had such a great experience! The staff was super friendly and welcoming from the start. Everything was fresh and delicious — the cookies were soft and loaded with chocolate chips, the fried Oreos and funnel cake were perfectly made and dusted with powdered sugar, and the ice cream and milkshake were rich, creamy, and full of flavor (the waffle cone was a nice touch too!).

The whole place has a fun, bright carnival vibe, and you can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Great customer service, great food, and a great atmosphere overall. Definitely worth checking out — I’ll be back to try the chicken tenders; I’ve heard great things about them!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

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

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

“My favorite place for ice cream!!!“

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

“I am a migrant worker from Korea.
Working at the shipyard under the blazing sun has given me a heat-struck face and a work uniform coated in sweat and dust — a collaboration that makes locals step away from me.
Yes, that’s right! People don’t avoid poop because it’s scary… they avoid it because it’s dirty.
My English? Not great. But the staff here? Extremely kind.
And the moment I take a sip of their shake, I taste heaven itself.
My only regret… I discovered this ice cream shop in August.
If I had found it in June, my shake consumption would have been legendary.“

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

“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!“

“My first time there was a little confusing finding the entrance/window to order (by the way, it’s in the back).

Secondly, they don’t offer samples, which is disappointing, but it’s their policy. Buying a full scoop of a flavor I’ve never tried before is a gamble I don’t like taking.

Third, it’s about $6–7 for a single scoop. I think that’s a bit pricey (IMO), but since I only go once in a while, I guess I don’t mind paying it.

Fourth, seating is limited if you want to sit and enjoy your ice cream. I’ve only been there twice, and both times I ended up eating in my car. It kind of takes away from my summer evening ritual: sitting outside while the warm air melts into the ice cream and I have to eat it as fast as it melts (the little kid in me still loves that, lol).

That said, their banana pudding ice cream was delicious. I’ll definitely stop by one last time to treat my sweet tooth before they permanently close.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great service.“

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

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

“I’m a HUGE fan of the Meadowlark. Food is creative and delicious, pastries are out of this world, mocha is absolutely top tier. I’ve never been disappointed. The environment is cozy, warm and welcoming and everyone is always so nice.Got my kiddo and. His friend a burger for lunch today and they RAVED about them (and the ability to add or remove things to make them kid friendly is fantastic!). His friend said it’s the best burger he’s ever had! Keep doing what you do! You are just what we needed in this area!“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“As the weather begins to warm up, I start my Sunday night tradition of going out to get a couple of scoops of ice cream or water ice. A couple months back, I wanted to try something different and go someplace I'd never tried before. So, good old Google found me a place, less than a mile away, which I never knew existed! I jumped in the car, drove down, and (long story short), I was blown away! I will ALWAYS choose a small local business over a corporate owned or franchised operation any day, and this wonderful couple not only serves delicious ice cream, incredible waffles, PLUS extremely delicious homemade waffle cones and bowls, but they also serve up love and hospitality! This is MY go-to place now, MY neighbors, and a part of MY extended family of sole proprietors! I am so glad I wanted something different that night! I sure got more than I asked for! If you are a customer already, you KNOW what I am talking about! If not, please give ScoopAffles a try! I promise you will not be disappointed and... will absolutely get hooked! 😁“

“Best ever service is served with a smile the girls are so nice we try to go at least once a week #ritas#1fan“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 think the flavors Piña colada and Key Lime are the best here... everytime I go there I received excellent service...“

“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“

“would recommend coming here for matcha! i got a large maiko special with matcha and lychee ice cream. the staff were really nice and even offered to give out samples of the ice cream for us to try. overall this is a great place to chill out and hang out with friends. plus they have great taste in jpop and jrock music too.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“good place for getting some relaxing time.“

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

“Always a nice place to take your kids on a hot day. Not a ton of seating if you plan on staying but the staff (mostly students) are all very friendly and generally very helpful.

Parking: On a busy day, parking is near impossible in the lot as it's pretty tight, and there aren't many spots, but street parking is always a viable option.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“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.“

“the homemade ice cream is amazing!!“

“This is one of my favorite spots to visit during hot summer days for water ice and ice cream. They're always changing flavors but overall the options are very simple. I also love the blendinis and mistos. The staff here are usually made up of local high school students but the service is still good. Everyone is really friendly“
