?Waffle Cone (2 Scoop) $6.5+8% tax#Pistachio#Pumpkin Both flavors are quite satisfactory and I felt a bit tired at the end of the meal.There are a lot of people queuing up, but I won’t visit again.

Creamy and delicious! Fair warning: their portions are large! I got a kiddie cone and it was still a scoop and a half! Their raspberry truffle was to die for

We order a plain vanilla kiddy cone, it was soo chewy and hard to scoop it out of the cup and on top it was expensive.

Many people have "must visit" places in the Reading Terminal Market. For us, it's Bassett's Ice Cream! It really is the best ice cream anywhere but serve it in the Market, with the greatest staff and this why we stop any time of year! Today, it was low 20s outside, did we care, NO, we had to have our Bassett's!

I decided to give it a try since it is the oldest ice cream shop in America. The staff was kind and nice! Matcha ice cream was just like that!
Ice cream in our milkshake tasted like chemicals. I’ve never tasted ice cream like this and didn’t realize my kid was eating it till I tried it and stopped her. I hope it wasn’t weird chemicals and just bad ice cream.

Good ice cream but don't order the quart. They manually pack it so it'll be half empty. Get a pint or smaller.

Fantastic experience! Rob and other staff were welcoming and prompt! They were not only quick to answer any weird questions I had about the yummy selections, their descriptions were perfect too! and the ice cream was hands down the best!!! I will definitely be back!

Even on a cold day, it’s easy to ❤️ Bassetts.Lines can be long of course anywhere in the Reading Terminal, so plan accordingly. That doesn’t mean you won’t find a calm moment when you can get in there and order right away!There is not much seating accept for a few stools at the edge of the station. ?Kid-friendliness: If ordering a cone for a young child, you can ask for a extra cup so when it starts to melt or they need a break from eating, you will have a place to put it for a moment. ⭐️?

This place has incredible ice cream. This is the oldest operating ice cream place in America. I had a cookies and cream cone yesterday and there was one problem with it though. There was a hair in it. I pulled the hair out from my teeth thinking it was from my beard. It wasn't. It was a completely different hair that couldn't be mine (I'm bald and my beard hairs aren't that long). I don't think the fellow who scooped my ice cream was wearing a hair net.
Great Ice cream. Went for lunch and the staff seemed a little blah. But definitely a must stop place in the market.
