50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Newtown

“The BEST flavors of ices I’ve ever tasted - new flavors every week. All family made. A MUST try! Soft serve too for those of us more traditional 🍧🍦“

“My boyfriend loves frozen treats, so I have eaten more ice cream and frozen yogurt in the past year than I had in the previous 40+ years. I've eaten those frozen treats at more places than I knew existed.

And Owowcow is far and away my favorite. The ice cream is rich and creamy. And they have some of the best, most inventive flavors. I've been obsessed with Tea & Biscuits (Earl Gray ice cream with lavender and lemon shortbread crumbled in it... a flavor they have only in April). I loved it so much, I bought 7 pints.“

“This Rita’s is one of my favorite spots for a treat. Quality and service is terrific. However, there is a huge amount of bees by the trash cans, so while you are walking from your car to the store there are bees and wasps chasing you and even more after you order because you are holding sugar. Personally, I will not go there anymore because of my very bad bee phobia. I understand that little can be done about this, but I think spraying a bee killer spray in the trash cans regularly and also keeping them covered instead of open will make a huge difference. Hope no one gets stung over there. 🐝🐝🐝🐝“

“Such fun and unique ice cream shop!“

“Cute little ice cream shop tucked away on the outer edge of a busy plaza. It has a small town feel to it and was very quiet. I was surprised with the nice relaxing outside deck to sit and eat. We didn’t try the waffles this time, but the strawberry shake, pistachio ice cream and chocolate cream were all delicious. Will be back to try the waffles on another night!“

“I have only compliments for the cookies at Crumbl. The large size, the fabulous and always changing selection of cookies - each more delicious than the last. A 4-pack will provide a very satisfying dessert for 4 (or more) people. The staff at Newtown is very friendly and personable; the store is immaculate, the service is quick. Stop in once and I am sure you will return.“

“My family and I stopped here when we were looking for a bakery in the area. The food is delicious! I highly recommend Panna Gelateria and I would definitely come back.“

“Has always been the best Ice Cream around. The taste is always consistent.“

“This is hands down the best Gelato I've ever had. Its family owned and you'll see the owners present at the shop. The owner told us that the cream is imported from Italy. You can see a picture of the cows on the wall from where they get their cream from. You'll also find baked goods and coffee. They are pup friendly so stop by with your dog for a pup cup. This is the best place to come out of Bristol in a long time.“

“Ice cream is homemade and delicious. Owner was friendly& makes you feel comfortable. Place looked clean in side . Small hidden gem and busy! Good flavors to choose from good portions. Worth every penny for going out for ice cream especially on a hot day . Our family personally prefers this place over Rita’s.“

“Stopped by this cute little neighborhood spot tonight. We were greeted by all four workers the moment we walked in. Their chocolate chip cookie dough was delicious, the Cookie Monster ice cream was excellent and the chocolate milkshake was super rich. A+ spot, we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Has always been the best Ice Cream around. The taste is always consistent.“

“Portion sizes seem to have increased (with prices). Regardless, pricing is fair.This is the best old-time ice cream (and food) stand around, bar none. You can even consume your order dining outdoors at covered picnic tables. Staff is friendly and helpful. I hope Cream King never goes away but hurry since it closes for the season mid-October.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“The best water ice in the area! All of the flavors are homemade and delicious. The custard is also amazing. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Loveeeee that Nina’s is open later in the night for a little sweet treat. Their waffles & icecream is delicious and I can’t wait to go back. The lights are so cute and just gives cozy vibes. Craving some waffles right now again 🤣“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“Best ice cream parlor around. You ask for extra, they give your extra!! No halfsies. I've tried other places and they ALWAYS disappoint. Gibbys NEVER does!!“

“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!“

“Like a perfect slice of candy store history. Everything is clearly made with love by and it absolutely shows in the quality. I tried the truffles and they were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. My partner tried the ice cream and he promised we’d come back frequently“

“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!“

“*Edited - original review was for a different location, i am so sorry**

Location is great! Staff is friendly and their product is wonderful. Their variety of custard flavors blew me away. Our local location only ever has chocolate and vanilla. High recommended this Ritas!“

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

“Awesome service! Carol is such a nice person ! Kids requested a flavor she was able to find it and had it available in no time !“

“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.“

“Literally to die for!! Lots of visitors go to the other ice cream places, but just walk down Main Street a bit further and you will literally be in for a treat! We just moved to New Hope and this will be our go-to dessert place from now on.“

“I truly enjoyed my time there and the clientele, in addition to the great soft Ice Cream and homemade water ices. I love supporting local businesses and ones that are owned by a family as well as a military veteran. I was honored to meet that very person as he happened to stop by! His name is Jimmy and his family name is on the sign! A lively, energetic, boisterous guy, with a huge sense of humor that is contagious! His daughter manages the window and the young people who work there are really nice to deal with. Amazingly good product! I was pleasantly surprised.“

“I ordered a smoothie today from this location. The manager, Peter, was very clean. He changed his gloves a few times within my order and another person's order. Peter, spoke well English and I was able to communicate with him well. He was very honest when I gave him too much money during my transaction. I would definitely go back to this location again in the future.“

“No matter when or what time of the day I stopped there everyone was pleasant and had the best customer service skills. If they didn’t have what I wanted which was rare Bryan would make it for me in minutes. So sad today there done. Have a safe winter see you all in the spring. Ps other Rita’s are open for a lil longer but other Rita’s definitely don’t taste like Bryan’s Rita’s.“

“I've always loved Rita's! my daughter got to finally enjoy a piece of heaven from my childhood. Family of 7. 4 of them experienced Rita's for the first time ever. We make it our mission to go twice before we leave.“

“The owners happened to be in and I was pleased to see how kind they were to everyone around. You can tell the owners and employees care about what they do as everything was very clean and organized. Always delicious and a fun treat for the kids. Will continue to make Red Berry apart of our family traditions. 💯🍦“

“I frequent this Rita’s often. Today 6/15/22 I received my order total and I realized it was much more than usual. I asked was there a price change recently. I was told there was a $1 charge for sprinkles!!! This new pricing is not posted on their current menu. Patrons should not be charged for this until it’s visibly posted on the menu.“

“The only place I go for Ice Cream in New Hope! They always have a great selection of fabulous ice cream flavors! Even my pups love ❤️ going there!“

“This was the best experience I ever had. I got a free sample and a person that works there called me 5 years old. But that's besides the point and in all it was great. The cola water ice was absolutely DELICIOUS 😋😋😋😋 Would HIGLY recommend.“

““Had a great experience at Rita's Italian Ice! The customer service was excellent—staff were friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. The service was quick and efficient, which made the visit even better. Definitely a place that makes you feel valued as a customer. Will be coming back again!”
Evelyn Ariella are two girls that helped us today to get our order ready. Thank you guys 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏“

“Amanda was amazing. She was all alone working and it was very busy. She handled it like a pro. Not only did she do her job very well but she did it with joy! She made our experiences great and exceeded our expectations! Thank you Amanda! You should get a bonus for working alone on a busy night!“

“I’ve been going to. Bruster’s shops for almost 20 years between Florida and now Trevose and the flavors never disappoint! Creamy and delicious homemade ice cream and yummy cakes if you so choose. There’s a flavor for everyone but my favorite is Espresso Yourself, Graham Central Station, New York Cheesecake, and the classic Cookies and Cream. You really can’t go wrong with any of them! The handmade in store waffle cones are to die for! Treat yourself to a tasty treat!“

“I've never had bad service and everything has always been incredible“

“Every Rita's has different flavors! I love that my #1 location (Feasterville) always has best fruity flavors, my #2 location (Neshaminy) had all the best NEW flavors, and now I have a #3 (Penndel). They got flavors that I haven't seen in a long time! A little pricey for the sizes of products, but that's expected in the current political & economical climates.

*What started as a communication of rudeness and negativity, turned into a mutually apologetic conversation where both parties accepted their roles and responsibilities in creating the previous negativity.*

All things aside, this location will definitely stay as my #3 for a long time, or at least until another location knocks it off...“

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

“my favorite spot for dessert 🍨 no matter where I am. staff is always friendly.“

“Nice place ! Great taste and great location“

“A nice ice cream window. No inside to sit at, but a number of tables on a clean patio.. and it across from the river and launch ramp. That also has a gazebo and seats...and nice views.

The extensive Debbie's menu is entirely ice creme ..the street has Italian, Chinese, etc.
BUT MY FAVORITE THING HERE IS: it has something like 30 flavors of SOFT ice creme any time you want!!!! Yup, coffee or. Raspberry or banana soft serve ...most any time“

“Crumbl Cookies in Bensalem is absolutely worth the visit! The cookies are huge, fresh, and perfectly baked slightly crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. I love that they rotate flavors every week, so there’s always something new and exciting to try. Every cookie looked amazing and tasted even better.

The store was clean, smelled incredible as soon as we walked in, and the staff was friendly and efficient even when it was busy. Perfect spot for a sweet treat, dessert night, or bringing a box home to share with family and friends. Definitely one of the best cookie experiences around!“

“The hottest coffee in Lambertville! ☕️“

“As someone who occasionally went before I’ve started to go much more with the recent changes and new hires. The service is quick and the cashiers and employees are so friendly it makes it very easy to come back to! Finally a win with ice cream in our area“

“We had lunch at the Ferry Market and walked a few minutes to the Gelato Shop. The staff was friendly and gave us time to choose from the 20 flavors. We chose the Aramena Cherry. It was excellent. Very smooth with lots of cherries. Artisian gelato is not very common in our area and we are so grateful that it is available in New Hope.“

“We have been to Lambertville numerous times, but this is the first time we made it to Liv & Charlie's. The staff, food and atmosphere are great! This will be on our list every time we are in the area. 😋🌞“

“Awesome!!!!!! Thank you very much“
