50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Prospect Park

“Very extensive water ice and ice cream menu, offering a variety of flavors for everything. They also offer foods such as corn dogs, churros, funnel cakes, and more. Very good place to go in the Summertime“

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!“

“Pasta making class Olivia was excellent. She understands the regions of Italy and was able to prep and explain with ease and grace. A participant asked about cacio e pepe, which was not on the agenda, and Olivia quickly prepared the basic but difficult to nail sauce. It was spot on. Would def recommend HBB to friends and family. One suggestion though - supplying guests with aprons would be helpful!“

“I got to try your Earl Grey tea ice cream over the summer, and recently tried your London Fog ice cream bars, and they're both awesome!! Thank you for creating these!!“

“Get the sorbetto! Great food, great service.“

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

“Best Gelato I've had, Cherry...(I will be trying all flavors). Best in the city in my opinion!! The Soft Serve is soft, thick and creamy, so delicious!! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are plentiful. Nice, friendly staff, clean establishment. My family and I have made this our #1 Ice Cream 🍨🍦 Spot!!!! 😋“

“This is just too good not to post. THEIR HONEYDEW water ice...made of real fruit is not too heavy on flavor or sugar so the $5 size is so perfect! I'd come down and have some just to see. Not just the water ice but the funnel cake is addictive so why not give it a try?“

“I gave 5 stars because of the alone hardworking girl. Please can you schedule someone else to help her. She is doing a great job but there is always line.
Nice flavors nice location very close to smart kids at UPenn but again always line of people.
PS. I got the fall flavors : hazelnut & pumpkin. 🎃“

“This ice cream, funnel cake and water ice shop is fantastic! The staff are super fast and always make sure you’re satisfied with your order. There’s a wide variety of delicious choices on the menu, and everything tastes amazing. The employees are not only polite but also really funny. I highly recommend this spot — I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always worth it!“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

“Absolutely delicious locally homemade ice cream. Great addition to the neighborhood, but also a destination worth traveling to!“

“Delicious ice-cream with some classic and some unique seasonal flavors (like lavender)!“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

“Delicious, lots of water ice in a large variety of flavors and they make for a nice little summer treat. They absolutely need a trash can up front so patrons don't litter though, so don't forget to take your trash with you if you visit.“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The staff is quick and helpful. The dance of flavors between the appetizers, entrees, and desserts were magnificent. A little bit of a walk from the theater but well worth it for a date night out. Careful with the stairs and it’s narrow when walking between tables, but to me this just elevated the coziness of it all. We will definitely come again!“

“I usually don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but Lu and Aug’s is changing that! Their soft serve is perfect — smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. Between simple vanilla to their more extravagant specialities, Lu and Aug’s has brought something different and delicious to the Main Line sweet treat scene. I especially look forward to their seasonal flavor drops. My favorites so far have been lavender earl grey and just yesterday, chai spice. I actively look forward to seeing what flavor they are going to come up with next! I also recently tried their hot chocolate which was yummy. The staff is super friendly and service is quick, even when they are busy (which is most of the time!). Definitely recommend visiting this great spot in Ardmore.“

“Saw the roadside sign about new ice cream cakes and decided to order one. This is the type with just ice cream but you get to customize the mix or vanilla/chocolate, the sauce and candy crunch filling, and the sprinkles. The only thing they don’t do is write on the cake. It is a bit pricey but it is huge. The fudge wasn’t quite all the way through but it was very good. Service was also excellent - when the cake needed more time to freeze, they offered to deliver it if I wanted, discounted the cake, and gave me a coupon.

They now take credit cards but impose a fee. Debit cards aren’t charged but it isn’t clear on the signage or the screen, only once you get a receipt is the surcharge not there.“

“1-900 is right in Rittenhouse Square and they had a long line that ended up moving pretty quickly. The staff were lovely, giving me recommendations and fast service. The soft serve is silky smooth and the flavors are strong but not artificial or overwhelming. I could see the vanilla beans throughout the ice cream which translated to the flavor as well and the chocolate was so balanced that I could eat plenty of it. The dip is perfectly thin and crisp, with a good flavor overall! The waffle cone was fine. Would recommend giving it a try, they have tons of interesting flavors that I didn’t get a chance to check out!“

“Love! The Cosmic Beets ice cream sandwich was delicious! I was hesitant to order it, but so glad I did. Hoping to see dark chocolate ginger on the menu again soon.“

“This was the first time back to Don & Bert's in 27 years and it hasn't really changed much. It was so good back then and still is. I grew up going on a Friday night for some cheese fries and a pb shake. Still as good as I remember. I hope this place is around forever. Paulsboro's little gem!!!!“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“I love this spot. My go-to order is the Earl Grey bubble tea topped with the Vietnamese iced coffee ice cream. It’s perfectly balanced: the tea’s floral notes shine through while the ice cream adds a deep, mellow sweetness that never feels overpowering. I’ve been back a few times now, not just for the sweet treats but for the aesthetics—the desserts look gorgeous, and the space itself is bright and great for hanging out with friends. It’s become an easy favorite!“

“So yummy!!! Nothing like a homemade bubble waffle! The sweetest cashier/wafflemaker! ❤️“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

“Hands down the best water ice ive ever had. We keep our freezer over in Marcus Hook Refinery loaded. The lady Shannon at the front desk is a doll, always polite and always smiling. A awesome place to do business with.“

“Omg! I ordered a smoked turkey hoagie with cooper sharp cheese, and it was amazing! The store was clean, well stocked with chips and other goodies. The staff today was small, but my sandwich was made with very little wait! The young lady who took my order was friendly and polite. The owner, if I'm not mistaken, made my order, and the love and care she put into my lunch was too tier.
Thanks Sistas! You guys are doing your thing!“

“What a fun place! Delicious ice cream (dairy free options are what I get!) and interesting candies and stickers. The employees are always super friendly and fun to chat with!“

“Amazing ice cream place! I went here and got the Lemon Bar and Almond Brittle half scoops in a waffle cone, both delicious. Here they usually do half scoops, so I got two flavors. Lemon bar was sour and creamy. The almond brittle was crunchy and had a sweet caramel flavor. A two-half-scoop treat is the perfect dessert after dinner“

“I have only try four different flavors and they’re delicious 😋 next time I may have to order a bigger size 🥰“

“Eat before you get here because the portions are monstrous, so huge I’m sure I gained a pound —or two— in one eating.

Ashamed? Not!

The swirl soft serve with rainbow jimmies was so worth it. Not only was it truly yummy but the ice cream never melted like they do at the other shops. Not sure of the machine they decided to invest in but my cone maintained its shape to the very end.

I’m so glad that I decided to give them a chance.“

“It's an awesome place to bring your family for ice cream and chocolate treats. The workers are awesome it's a friendly environment not to mention the ice cream and smoothies are really great. My kids love this place“

“Me and my family was visiting from Dallas Texas . I was Googling Water Ice this business came up . I went to 22nd Water Ice for two days while visiting Philly my kids enjoyed ? this place. Prices are very affordable. Next time in Philly we will come again. Thanks Thomas for great Customer Service. More Blessing to this business ??“

“I've been waiting on this location to open up and boy was it worth the wait!!! Dre's has the BEST water ice and ice cream in Philly... and if your looking for gourmet ice cream try the sweet potato pie or banana pudding flavor they are to die for I noticed it at the retail location but it can also be found at all Browns Family Shop-rite stores.“

“Delicious ice cream and they deliver!“

“Please keep the Chocolate Cherry Chunk all year. It is THE BEST!!!“

“We enjoyed it. Way better than the one on Haverford Road.“

“I wanted to shout out Kaitlyn for making my dog a special treat after I told her he’ll be going to doggy heaven soon! So sweet he loved it thank you 😊“

“I would like to thank Denise for her great customer service she went above and beyond to help me I wanted a certain flavor of water ice and she was so kind to find it for me I really appreciate her kindness Thank you again for your kindness Calvin“

“best sorbet around. and the berries and toppings are outstanding.“

“what is your favorite song for you to“

“Very creative customize your own froyo shop. You can fill up your cup with whatever flavor(s) you desire and then pick your own toppings from the toppings bar and they include various fun toppings such as gummy bears, cookie dough, brownie bits, boba pearls, lego candy, cereals, and more. They also offer chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, pb sauce, and marshmallow sauce. Very fun and kid friendly inside with colorful chairs and booths. It’s refreshing to see a fun place geared towards children“

“Establishment does not support their community. When my non profit org approached them for a donation for a children's event in the community they declined. The manager would not give out any additional information. Totally unprofessional!“

“It's the most popular water ice spot in the area for a reason. Everything is reasonably priced and tastes great. I'm a big fan of strawberry shakes and cheese pretzels. Shakes are always perfect and the pretzels are always warm, soft and fresh. Oh forgot to mention they also stay open later than all of the convenience stores in the area. If you haven't been then go check it out, you won't be disappointed..“

“Main Scoop Deli is now working as Z Mart LLC. It's an American complete go-to convenience store for food, snacks, hot and cold beverages and so much more. This family grocery store is Owned by MR. Zulfiqar. Clean store, great customer service, and an outstanding selection of products. Helpful personnel with good insight. Highly recommended.“

“Awesome! Tasty! Mango donuts. Try a fresh baked donut. What a light fluffy and tasty flavor. Perfect snacks. Great for a date or to go.

Wonderful staff and super proud of there products.

Come down and check out the awesome ice cream flavors. So many yummy drinks. Check out the photos for details. Place is super clean and professional.“
