16 Best Ice Cream Shops near Shillington

“Had the best time last night with a party of 8. All appetizers and dinners were delicious. I cannot stop thinking about the homemade tomato Gorgonzola vinaigrette. I almost licked my plate. You cannot beat this homemade food. We will be eating here regularly and will tell all of our friends!“

“This is a hidden gem in reading. The smoothies and fruit bowl were so refreshing. We really felt refreshed after a long day. The Acai fruit bowl is just too good. The staff were very friendly and courteous. I recommend this place to everyone.“

“Checked out Spenny’s this past week while on a little trip to the Reading area. Checked out Tony’s a couple years ago and had been hearing I should check this place out and after looking over the menu, I agreed!Decided to go with “The Classic Jawn” - cooper sharp wit, and an order of the loaded tots that I split with my friend (who got herself a chicken cheesesteak). The woman who helped us at the counter, and the woman who brought the food/drinks to the table were both very friendly. The decor was also very cool. They had a fun neon sign and the one wall was littered with various reading and Philly lore.The loaded tots came with bacon and a sauce that was like an American cheese sauce and ranch hybrid. The tots were nice and crispy even with all of the wet and heavy stuff on them and the flavor was very good. I’d get these anytime I stopped here.The classic jawn was a very good steak. I felt at $13 that the amount of meat was perfectly fine but I could see people complaining…it’s what they do ??‍♂️. Ribeye with cooper sharp and a small dice onion on a seeded Corropolese roll. It was exactly what I’d hoped for when heading in.I’d go back for sure and I’d order the same exact thing. Spenny’s in Reading, PA - Didn’t Suck!“

“I have never gotten anything at Plum Creek that I didn't like. The food is always amazing and service is friendly. Expect a little bit of a wait if you come at peak times, as they are usually really busy. The only downside is that it is a little pricey but I don't mind paying a little extra to support a local business.“

“Ice cream hand made on site, only sold on site, always gone on sight!!! ?I would describe it as: "one of those places you see on the travel channel, that the locals love, and is a 'mandatory stop' for travelers in the area."FYI - it's pronounced (bear-ring-er's)!!“

“what a great place to get ice cream. although the line is long sometimes. the people on line are friendly. well they should be we are getting ice cream. the selection is great and so are the young adults working their. always have a smile and help w picking out what you need. 2 thumbs up.“

“So good! I got the Churro cheesecake crepe and it was delicious. They let the kids sample the ice cream to find the flavor they wanted and the staff was friendly. The menu and ice cream flavors are only written in Spanish though... but they do have pictures so you can see what the items are.“

“The ice cream and atmosphere are great! The service leaves much room for desire - I would be so happy to partner with the owners to help operationalize this location, things have definitely improved and we obviously understand that the location is staffed by students, but there are times you'll stand there for 20 or 30+ minutes for an order of 2 dishes of ice cream. The ice cream and the location make the convenience of waiting worth it, as does the great atmosphere, but in the moment it is challenging when waiting for so long for a simple order.“

“I came in with my sons to try this different kind of ice cream, I came in to all these flavors and wonderful customer service. I will be returning. Very informative on the flavors and juices the fruit punch was delicious. I bought so many snacks, love trying different foods and ingredients. Check this place out. Right off the 11th street exit area.“

“It is one of my favorite places to eat some food and ice cream. They have a bunch of different toppings to make your order special. I love their chicken tenders and cheddar fries. The cheese is amazing, and the ranch sauce is just as good."Life is better with ice cream." Well, money can't buy you happiness, but it buys you ice cream, which gives you happiness“

“Rita’s is awesome but stay away from the Blanton location. Sara is the most rude employee I have ever come across. I wonder how many customers they’ve lost because of very rude employees like her. Have called corporate several times, nobody ever answers nor returns the call. Do better!“

“The vibrant colors and icy treats beckoned to me like a siren's call. Holy Gelati, Batman! What an icy adventure I had at Rita's Italian Ice. Nestled outside of Reading, in the heart of Shillington, this Rita's joint is the go-to spot for a frosty treat that hits the spot. The real cherry on top of this frozen fiesta was Allison herself. Not only was she a master at crafting the perfect ice concoction, but her friendly demeanor and infectious smile made the whole experience truly memorable. She even posed for a picture with me, adding an extra dash of superhero flair to my Rita's adventure. Thanks for being chill, Allison. Whether you're a local looking for a sweet escape or a crime fighter patrolling the hustling and bustling Lancaster Ave, Rita's Italian Ice is a must-visit destination. And if you're lucky, you might just get to chill out with the legendary BatmanJawn himself – action figure by day, ice cream aficionado by night. Thanks, Rita's, for a frosty-fantastic time! Be cool, eat a Rita's.“

“It’s a great store, we are grateful it is here. Ordering is easy, generally fast, sometimes there has been a crowd here or there, but overall, I’m highly satisfied. Once or twice the cookie I wanted was sold out, which was devastating, but I guess I can’t blame them given they sold out because they were likely delicious. Most of the time, it’s very quick visit, in and out, and I get what I want without any problems. I always appreciate the menu being updated regularly, sometimes a cookie is a mess but overall we love crumbl!“

“Fresh, great tasting, homemade donuts and pastries. I was visiting from out of town and picked up a variety of items from the location on Kutztown Road in Temple. We loved everything. The apple fritter was excellent - it actually had pieces of apple in it! The lady working was friendly and helpful. The prices ranged from $2 - $3.50 an item. There's not much to the place and it's pretty unassuming from the outside, but well worth trying and supporting local!“

“You should try out this ice cream place if you're ever in the Wernersville area! If you're looking for the perfect place to get ice cream this summer, head to The Wernersville Cone. They have a lot of options to choose from -- ice cream cones, sundaes, milkshakes, icees, and more. The perfect place to fulfill your sweet tooth.“

“In regards to the Sinking Spring Rita's... No problem with the food itself. But after waiting 25 minutes in line, I was greeted with super rude customer service. Ordered a watermelon gelati, small, took a breath to keep talking, but the girl already turned away and started making it in the back, before she knew what flavor custard I wanted. She made vanilla and another girl asked if that was all. I asked for a twist for my custard and the original girl said "it's already made" and I said "I didn't finish my order" and my partner said "can you make it again please" after she gave us silence. Then she said "next time say that when you order" and I said "you walked away." Then we paid and resumed our lives. She was ready to walk away before I even told her what size I wanted. At the very least ask what flavor custard I want if you thought I was done ordering, don't just walk away without knowing what the customer wants. Incredibly rude to then imply I have to take the wrong order simply bc you made it wrong. So to the short blonde chick working last night (04/28/24) at this location around 6:30pm, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say maybe you had a bad day or were stressed bc the line was long and you were busy; however, use this as a chance to reflect and learn how to manage your mouth and take accountability for your actions, esp at work, bc you were just unnecessarily rude when you were the one who messed up. Or just take the customers whole order first.“
