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.“

“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.“

“I've been here a few times now and habe the pleasure of Kiki walking me through the options they have all with a bubbly personality and she made the process of ordering very simple. When she asks you if you'd like a cookie with it, dont refuse. She couldnt have made the experience better and her knowledge was greatfully helpful. As a whole you can tell the store cares deeply about thier Italian heritage. Its amazing to see.“

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

“We love JoJo’s! We have peanut and tree nut allergies in our family and JoJo’s is one of the only ice cream shops we feel comfortable going to! Also their ice cream and water ice is delicious!
Customer service is always great.“

“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!!! 👍🏼🍦🍨🍧🥤“

“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.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loved this dessert place, it was my first time tasting a waffle ice cream 🧇🍨 we ordered for the seasonal specials with peach 🍑 and chose the coconut mango ice cream🥭 lovely ambience too! This is place is a must visit if you’re in the neighborhood!! Will definitely come back to this place next time 🤗“

“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 !“

“I love bringing my grandchildren here!“

“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“

“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!“

“great ice cream. Great family run business.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“Hello? Red Berry? I answered.

Walked in expecting frozen yogurt. Walked out with enlightenment. The yogurt was smoother than my phone calls, the toppings were stacked higher than my missed calls, and every bite had me saying, “Who let them cook?”

The staff were friendly, the place was clean, and the flavors were so good I almost forgot I had to call someone.

If John Pork recommends a frozen yogurt shop, you know it’s serious.

5/5. I’ll be calling again.“

“Great waterice. I enjoyed the flavor more than their competitors. The chocolate was awesome. Also tried pineapple, very tasty as well. Wish they had more flavors to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff. They do have some tables outside to enjoy your treats on nice days. They also have ice cream and toppings and they can mix and match.“

“The hottest coffee in Lambertville! ☕️“

“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.“

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

“We Love this place!! delicious ice cream and friendly service.“

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

“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.“

“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...“

“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“

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

“Awesome!!!!!! Thank you very much“

“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!!“

“Nice place ! Great taste and great location“
