I discovered Fred's about 3 years ago. My kid was thirsty so I stopped and I got him a kids water ice, it was so good. I told my husband all about it. Now any time he wants water ice we drive to Philly to Fred's. That is how good the water ice is. It is so good. We rather support a small business. Plus we love Fred's.
I love this place & it's right around the corner from me. I went there few times before with my family of 6.But for the past 3 days can't get enough & getting ready to go soon again. Nice people so kind they even bring out your order for you if you in the car. I couldn't do it in this heat but they doing. Can't thank them enough i really appreciate it.
The best water ice ever reminds you of back in the day. I haven't had a water ice like it since until now. Fred’s is the best; no other water ice place can touch them. They are the best in the city ever.
