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've only been here three times in the past two years, but the employees have been really nice every time. Thank you :) My coffees haven't been great, but based on the majority of the reviews, this may be a matter of personal taste. I will try again, and maybe ask for slight modifications to my drink. The chocolate-dipped biscotti, though, delicious! It was not super crunchy like others, and I've decided that's the way I like them (I don't dip them in coffee, so I'm fine with the slightly softer texture). I'm surprised no one has mentioned the biscotti in their review. I'll definitely be back for more.“

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

“CASH ONLY UNDER $10

Best hard ice cream around. They have seasonal flavors, and only close “for the season” for like 3 months. Their prices are super super cheap, got a 6 flavor sample platter for like $8.

I’ve also had their ice cream cake which is super good as well.

Line can get quite long, even on weeknights in the winter and fall. But that means they’re doing something right.“

“Great flavor selection, great team. Always there when I need that sugar rush. If you’re in the area (and even if you’re not) Dreams is always worth the trip“

“I gave 5 stars because of the alone hardworking girl. Please can you schedule someone else to help her. She is doing a great job but there is always line.
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. 🎃“

“Siddiq's is a West Philly gem! The flavors are always creative and delicious, and the staff will encourage you to sample anything.“

“So thrilled to have Curly's Carnival Eats right in my neighborhood! I met Yanni when he bought his Jeep he told me all about this place. Loved the fries Loved the atmosphere and the hospitality from the whole family. I'm planning to stop again tonight for the funnel cake and to purchase my coworkers some cookies. Is Curly's Carnival Eats the Best? Boy I Guess!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“My favorite place for ice cream!!!“

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

“Walked by here yesterday with my boyfriend and was pleasantly surprised they were open this time of the year. Customer service was excellent and the place was super clean. The workers had gloves on and the owner who took our order couldn’t have been any more nicer. We got a brownie delight sundae which was amazing, a gelati made with their home made water ice… and 6 cookies that were served warm! The apple pie cookie and blue berry muffin cookie were so YUM!! We will definitely be going back! 😊“

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

“Ever since I first tried this ice cream shop in 2025 I've been in love with it!! I a worried that they were going to have to close at the end of the year, but they're under new ownership! Despite new owners, they still have their original flavors and have even added some new ones!! My favorite OG flavor is their Lemon Buttermilk, and my two new favorites are their Matcha and Thai Tea! This visit I got the matcha and Thai tea on a fresh waffle (as pictured). Nothing but good vibes and delicious flavors here!!“

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

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

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

“Such a charming little spot—clean, quaint, and filled with gold standard ice cream options plus the coolest, unique finds. My daughter kept it simple with an ice cream sandwich, my son had fun trying the seasonal “Egg Hunt” flavor, and I went all-in on lavender blueberry (so good!). Truly one of those places where everyone finds something they love!“

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

“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.“

“Was in town for a conference at the Marriott across the street and was completely amazed by the market and saw what looked like really good authentic ice cream so gave it a try… and found it to be just as amazing as the market. I went with the crowd favorite, salted caramel pretzel and it was full of chunks and flavor. So good. Definitely recommend!“

“. I love the unique flavors, and the amount of variety there is. They are all different and delicious in their own ways. My personal favorite is the brambleberry crisp! The only reason I’d give it a 4 instead of a 5 for the store itself is that the ice cream shop is on the much pricier side, and their pints are the same price as their 2-3 scoop options. I now opt to buy them by the pint.

. Everyone here is always so upbeat and friendly. They let you try as many flavors as you want which is so nice, and they are so patient and quick as you try a bunch!

It is very bright and vibey in here! There are standing counters you can eat at and it is overall nice.

Highly recommend this spot if you are around the area! A unique and delicious ice cream shop, just keep in mind that it is on the pricier side.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Writing this review as I'm eating my hoagie because it's THAT good - haven't even finished it yet. I took it home to go. The bread they have is amazing, I got the seeded roll. And the ingredients taste so fresh and high-quality. I got the Turkey'd Out hoagie which is one of their specialty hoagies and i highly recommend it. You can also add some extra toppings to your liking. The hoagie was bigger than I expected which is great because I eat a lot. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can to try the other specialty hoagies.

In addition to the food - amazing/friendly service, very clean inside.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Summertime must! How to keep cool.“

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

“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! ❤️“

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

“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.“

“Great service.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

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

“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.“

“my favorite place in Philly for matcha! matcha quality is authentic and ceremonial grade and you can definitely taste it. I got the matcha bomb latte and the milk was not overpowering and the drink was not too sweet at all. would recommend to anyone looking for real, strong matcha.“

“the homemade ice cream is amazing!!“

“Service with kindness great flavors no one else has“

“what is your favorite song for you to“
