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 🍧🍦“

“The BEST place for ice cream that I visited on a visit from the UK 🇬🇧 5 full stars! Easily outclassed more famous (and over-rated) creameries in Princeton and Philadelphia. Deliciously creamy and rich - the natural ingredients were obvious. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming (the great team is pictured). A shout out to Madison who served us with such patience and care the first time we visited. Great range of flavours and we really enjoyed chalking out stories on the wall-to-wall blackboard. The outdoor seating area and patios were very charming and we loved sitting there. We will keep visiting! If you are reading this, please support this lovely local business.“

“The other day I went with my family since we were passing through, and I hadn't really tried Rita's so much but such a kind girl called Zareli made my family and I have a great experience, she recommended the frozen ice cream and it was really very good, I would go back once again because thanks to the kind girl I had a great experience“

“Such fun and unique ice cream shop!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Walked in thinking I’d get one scoop and ended up getting a pint to go! Tons of flavors and the staff let us sample as we had never been before. Ended up getting Honeycomb and Biscoff, so so good and great portions. Decided to get an espresso as well, which was a great roast. Ended up getting a pint to go filled with gelato!! Amazing staff and amazing recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again to try more flavors.“

“One of the best ice cream spots around! From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly, welcoming, and fast. They offer a great variety of flavors, and everything tasted fresh and high quality.

My absolute favorite was the Mango Water Ice it was incredibly refreshing, packed with real mango flavor, and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The texture was smooth, light, and perfect for a hot day. It’s definitely one of the best mango water ice treats I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors, but the Mango Water Ice will always be my first choice.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious frozen treat!“

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

“Good ice cream. Lots od interesting flavors of hard. But now they have a fsitly large and unsual flavors of soft ice cream. Regular food items are fairly standard and good enough. People come gor the ice crwam. Good service. Always friendly. Lits of parking and covered tables to eat. Been here in town for decades.“

“I live walking distance from a Rita's water ice but choose to drive 15-20min to Mom's because they are better in every way than Rita's! They give bigger sizes and prices are cheaper and they have so much more selection of homemade ice cream, soft serve ice cream, and water ice in so many different flavors and combinations and Sundaes and Gelatis and milkshakes! Whatever you want, they got it!!! 👍🏼🍦🍨🍧🥤“

“I went here twice this week, it was so good the first time I had to go back a few days later! I would have given them a 5 stars but they dont have bananas and the cups are too small! I mean what kind of ice cream shop doesn't have a banana split???“

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

“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!“

“I love mixing flavors and trying new flavors. Blueberry will always be my favorite original flavor though.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“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 !“

“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!“

“Great tasting, high quality, creamy with variety of flavors to choose from. Everything we tried in their ice cream so far, are all delicious- coconut, black raspberry, classic strawberry and vanilla. Pricing is fair. We keep coming back. So glad this is about 3 miles from our home.“

“I love bringing my grandchildren here!“

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

“*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!“

“I was there over the weekend…and encountered a splendid experience awaiting me. The staff recommended the most enchanted blend of flavors for my sensitive taste buds…something I cannot find anywhere else in my journeys. They were very accommodating with my son’s peanut allergy as well as patient with our exasperating demands. Overall, extraordinary food and even better service! 10/10 experience, would recommend!!!!!“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I have always loved this place but my most recent experience yesterday makes me love it even more. I took my granddaughters out for ice cream and didn’t realize they closed at 9 and we got there at 9 and staff were walking out and I asked if they were closed. They said yes but if I wanted hand-dipped ice cream or water ice they would get it for me. I said oh thank you but we all wanted soft serve. I got back in my car and the owner walked over and said you want soft serve come on I’ll get it for you. He turned the lights back on and made the soft serve himself. We all enjoyed as always from here. What great customer service that is rare these days. Thank you!!“

“I adore this place! Always smells heavenly when you walk through the doors! Always great flavors to choose from and interesting/creative rotations of flavors too! I love birthday cake when they have it. The ice cream is so fresh and good! The decor is very cute too with a whimsical feel and it's cool, clean, and inviting. Staff is nice and the products aren't mega overpriced like some other places. I will always recommend Nina's!“

“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 didn't know what a water ice was but it's an Italian Ice. They let me get 4 flavors in one cup. The Mango was not good. But Lemon, Pineapple, and Strawberry were all great! My friend had chocolate and we all agreed that it tasted like a tootsie roll. I didn't order it because I knew that flavor wasn't for me.“

“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 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 hottest coffee in Lambertville! ☕️“

“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...“

“We always have such a great experience at Red Berry! Everything is always delicious, clean and the staff is so friendly. My daughter absolutely loves going there for a special treat! Would highly recommend for those froyo lovers out there!“

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

“Nice place ! Great taste and great location“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Awesome!!!!!! Thank you very much“

“This was the most incredible vegan gelato I have ever eaten. Amarena Cherry. 🤯
I was so engrossed with devouring it that I neglected to take a picture. I can't eat dairy and this was so good it had me worried. 😁“

“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!“

“Last Sunday morning and arrived 2 hours too early, as they open at 12....This is my post yoga ritual when I travel home to Philly...The owner had come to retrieve something from the store and I explained that I grew up in the area, but lived in SC now...Told him my fav was chocolate and that in SC, we don't get all the flavors... He unexpectedly came out with a cup of chocolate water ice.. Thank you..It was awesome! Will be back whenever I get to visit home..and appreciate your hospitality!!“

“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. 😋🌞“
