The Franklin Fountain is a charming ice cream parlor in Philadelphia that takes visitors back in time. Serving house-made, old-fashioned ice cream in a nostalgic atmosphere, the restaurant provides a creamy, dreamy experience. With a menu filled with classic and inventive treats, including vegan and dairy-free options, The Franklin Fountain meets diverse dietary needs. Customers appreciate the polite staff and the fun, old-fashioned vibe, making it a cute stop during any Philly trip. While the prices may be a bit high and the lines long, the wait is worth it for a taste of Philadelphia's sweetest tradition. Many recommend trying sundaes, milkshakes, or floats with homemade soda for the best experience, as the ice cream is best enjoyed with toppings like hot fudge and whipped cream. Open late, The Franklin Fountain is the perfect place for a midnight ice cream craving or a post-dinner treat steeped in history.
