Franklin Ice Cream Bar is a clever alternative when you want the Franklin vibe without the big line. If you love soft-serve, creative presentation, and ambiance with a side of price awareness, it’s worth stopping by.

Very very expensive! Also wait time is quite long! Doesn’t worth! 2 cones with waffle con costs 17.50$ woah!

The best ice cream I tasted in Philly. I ordered the coconut ice cream with almond toppings. Do note that the almond toppings are very expensive. The taste of the coconut ice cream is delicious. I will definitely come back again when I visit Philly the next time. The shop is small and is decorated nicely.

We had a wonderful experience tonight. We were out walking our dog when we stopped in. A woman out front was kind enough to take us to the to go part of the store to skip the line. The ice cream was delicious and the Chinese takeout container was a fun touch. I’d recommend stopping for a fun atmosphere and sweet treat.

Delicious milkshakes! And they have giant straws! Saleem, you’re the man!
Homemade ice cream that’s truly delicious! Be ready to spend a bit—it’s on the pricier side—but the quality and experience make it worth trying at least once. While I’m not sure I’d come back, it’s definitely a must-try spot for any ice cream lover.

Wonderful creamy smooth ice cream! A great discovery! Some of the best ice cream I have had in a long time - with generous portions!

The inefficiency in a place. 45 minutes to place an order, 35 minutes to get a waffle cone single flavor, a guy brings it to you outside the shop while you’re waiting on a sidewalk. Totally crap. Don’t go there!!

Traditional ice cream done right. All the flavors I tried were delicious. The place is eclectic and takes you back to the past and I loved how they serve your ice cream in Chinese to go containers. We went at a down time but this place can get jam packed but it’s worth the wait. Staff were friendly and I’m already planning to go back to get a sweet treat.

Very overhyped, often extremely crowded and also partly due to slow service. We waited 30 mins in line for what was very regular ice cream, nothing special, overpriced as well. The ambience is retro. Was told the sundaes are supposed to be better.
