A must-visit every single time I’m in Philly! The pistachio ice cream at Franklin Fountain is incredible and tastes like real, genuine pistachios. Easily one of the best spots in the city!
Franklin Ice Cream is a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! They have a wide variety of delicious ice cream flavors, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the shop has a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a treat with family or friends. Everything tasted fresh and creamy. I would definitely come back to try more flavors. Highly recommend!
Loved the Coconut and Rocky Road ice cream! Both flavors were perfect. Definitely coming back for more.
