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“

“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!“

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

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.“

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

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

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

“I try to leave reviews when a place is good but this one deserves 10 stars!!!
BEST water ice AND ice cream in Philly and around!!! I live in the city and can’t wait to get off from work (near chubby’s) to get my Gelati. So far I’ve tried pineapple mango and candy fish and they are all so delicious, not overly sweet and don’t taste artificial. The vanilla ice cream, is so creamy milky and flavorful that you’ll never want to go back to soft serve. Seriously this is so good. They have little tables in front of the shop where you can sit relax and enjoy your treat. The staff is kind and respectful.
Try it while you also support a local business, it’s a win win!“

“I only stopped in here to grab a coffee and all I want to do is go back! One of the best iced lattes I have ever had!

Super cute place with different food items for sale as well as a gelato counter.

But yeah if you live in Philly, let your coffee ☕ here!“

“Always a good time to get ice cream! They can have a long line sometimes, depending on time of day and of course weather. But they are still quick and I'm surprised at how quickly I move through the line. They call you to the window, as they hand out orders through the same window. Be prepared to hear what you ordered yelled out, they will take other orders through the window to keep things moving. Limited seating but most people take it and leave or walk. There's a bench on the corner at the light. It would be nice if they added a second trash can up that way at the edge of the parking lot since there's a spot no cars can park. Overall highly recommend, we've converted friends to coming here too. The fall flavors are all great, and they have a ton of different options to get.“

“Came here with my date for water ice and honestly loved it. Great flavors, great atmosphere, and the owner was really genuine and friendly. It’s always nice supporting a place where the customer service matches the quality of the food. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Good food. Good selection. I got a pumpkin spice gelati.“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

“Siddiq's is a West Philly gem! The flavors are always creative and delicious, and the staff will encourage you to sample anything.“

“The best ice cream shop in our area hands down. Very nice portions, and the waffle cones are tasty.
The cookies are very solid as well (except perhaps the blended one).
Closed for the season during the winter, but we visit often when it is open.“

“Great service, lots of variety - and not just the flavors: ice cream, cookie desserts, pretzels, and more. This isn't your ordinary water ice spot. They can even bring a water ice cart to your events! A convenient and memorable part of Springfield's past and its future. Right on the town's main strip.“

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

“Delicious ice cream! Very cute interior and nice seating outside. I got the mango sticky rice and caramel praline flavors. The ice cream was very creamy and satisfying. Very kind staff. Would love to come back again. Vegan options are available which is wonderful. Also appreciate how clear their signage is regarding potential allergens with an allergen list available via QR code. Very cool that their spoons are compostable and sample spoons are metal and thus washable. Love an environmentally friendly location.“

“Such fun for these kiddos!“

“Had a great day with my kid. Ended the evening at Weckerly’s. The Ice Cream Sandwiches were great. Fun time, highly recommended.“

“Always greeted with a smile and yummy selections!“

“Excellent portions! And old fashioned ice cream sundaes and floats!“

“They recently catered at a grad party I attended and I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! Being from CA, we don’t have water ice so trying the mango and passion fruit flavors HIT SO GOOD!! Would definitely come to grab some more whenever I’m in Philadelphia again.“

“I’ve been dying for an ice cream date since the winter and I finally got my wish! My date told me this was the place to get ice cream and made the 10 minute walk over. We were greeted by a line when I frowned and he said that it’s fast moving. I shrugged. Once we figured out where the end was, told me to pull up Instagram to check out what the weekly offerings were. Peculiar I thought. Honestly, I was disheartened by what was available this week of no fault of their own. But! I know now to check when I’m in town for something I’d really want - to convince for more ice cream dates. There is a regular albeit small menu. To be delight, it has my favourite ice cream staple on it, soft serve and m&ms or what they call a Brick. The line to the inside was also fast moving like promised. There were two registers that were asymmetrically split as most wanted soft serve in that moment. The inside was.. busy. Once the ice cream came out tho we were back on the street enjoying it! I got my brick which was a fantastic price for a city treat. My date got an Oreo dripped cone that he was boosting about in line. Definitely more his taste.

TLDR - the ice cream is delicious, check the Instagram, and don’t be discouraged by a line - instead make some friends!“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“As somebody who can't have dairy, it's extremely difficult to find ice cream I can eat, let alone SOFT SERVE!!! This place is a godsend. The vegan vanilla is super delicious and they have a wide variety of topping options for extra flavor. My husband is a big fan of their regular, dairy-full soft serve too. Love this place!!“

“I'm obsessed w/Malai's flavors particularly the Masala Chai and Sweet Roti. But for the love of God, please invest in a paper covering for all pints.“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

“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.“

“Really delicious ice cream very reasonably priced and they have all sorts of flavors that you usually can't get at other ice cream places that are unique the customer service is second to none they let me sample a bunch of different ice creams and make recommendations I would highly recommend“

“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!!!!“

“I ordered an ice cream cake for a family birthday gathering this past Sunday. This was without a doubt the best ice cream cake I have ever tasted/served. Never have I seen almost every guest request seconds. Even the kids were begging for more! Ordering on line was a breeze, with many more options than I imagined. The cake was beautiful and professionally decorated. Above all, from the online order to licking the last bit of icing off the plate, I was kept informed about how to keep it at the appropriate serving temperature (it has been very warm lately), when the cake could be picked up, etc. by text messages. What a pleasant experience. Recommending this to all my local friends and neighbors. What a treat!“

“I got a vanilla sundae with pineapple, whipped cream, and of course a cherry on top, six fresh Oatmeal Raisin cookies. My wife got a Fried Oreo Sundae. By far one of the best dessert places I've been to in a long time. Well deserving of five full stars. Great job.“

“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!“

“My husband and I stopped in here for the first time tonight. The milkshakes are insane and super thick! The mousse was delicious and had toppings throughout the cup, not just on top! People working were awesome, so nice. We'll definitely be frequenting this location for the summer!“

“First time here. Icebox Frozen Treats is really good. Water ice, pizza pretzel, sausages, ice cream all taste great! The prices are affordable with a variety of treats on the menu as well as specials. The customer service is top notch & you can sit inside & enjoy the A/C on a hot day. Also, they have Connect 4 & building blocks at each table for the kiddos. Highly recommend 💯“

“It was really really good! Expensive yeaaaa tbh $20 for six donuts maybe that’s because of inflation but defiantly good! I seen other mochi places and they’re even more expensive so they’re relatively cheaper than most places. I got peach milk tea too and three Korean corn dogs. The milk tea was perfect. The Korean corn dogs were very delicious!“

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

“VERY GOOD SERVICE THE WORKERS ARE SO NICE AND FRIENDLY“

“Food was so delicious! Wonderful outside balcony seating! Great service? love this place!“

“Absolutely love their hoagies and have been quite a few times. But the wait times and lack of communication about those times in store, forces me to be hesitant about ordering when you have to literally plan around 50 min-1.5 hr wait for a hoagie.“

“Very popular ice cream joint famous for their water ice especially. They have unique flavors of water ice such as sweetish fish, peach, dragonfruit, pear, blue raspberry, tangerine, cotton candy, and more. The really unique ones such as dragonfruit and pear come and go, they don’t stay permanently like the cherry and blue raspberry kinds so keep that in mind if you ever go and don’t see it on their menu“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“Very friendly employees and quick service with a smile“

“Outstanding dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with high-quality dishes that will impress any food lover. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable, and the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and treated every guest with genuine respect. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

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

“We order from here pretty regularly, and it never disappoints. I’ve had the tacos, burrito bowls and chicken quesadillas! When I tell you these are not your average quesadillas I mean it! They are literally the best! Fresh chips and guacamole are also a must! I highly recommend!“
