“We came here a few times in the early Autumn with some friends who we hadn't seen in a while, because they wanted to introduce us to this place, knowing how I'm a big fan of the 1950s and would get a kick out of the awesome decor throughout. As soon as you walk in, you get greeted with memorabilia and even old movies playing on a projector screen. But more importantly, the food. I really enjoyed their chili dogs. Their crinkle fries are better than I'm used to elsewhere, but I still don't love them. Their Pepsi fountain sodas are OK (though they really should upgrade to Coca-Cola products), and their shakes are excellent (I tried the butterscotch shake one time). One thing I did not care for, however, was their malt. I literally did not get any malt flavor in my chocolate shake until quite literally the very end, because it was all caked on the bottom of the cup and not mixed throughout. I know not to get that if we return to that place when they reopen. Weird that an indoors place like this would even close for the winter, that's usually the time of year I'm really craving this kind of food and atmosphere.“

“Stumbled across this hidden gem in Norristown while waiting for the shuttle to the elmwood park zoo. This place has so many options from fresh juices, homemade ice cream, popsicles, ice cream, desserts and lunch options. The service is awesome too , the person helping us offered different samples to see what we would like before purchasing and explained all the ingredients in certain options. The interior is so cute and colorful , definitely feel like your transported to Mexico when you walk inside. The crepe was amazing and light and the mangonada was spicy, sour and sweet. The perfect combination, will definitely be back to try more things !“

“Great ice cream and very reasonable pricing! Other places around town have good ice cream too but The Main Freeze crushes them with great pricing are large portions. Simple walk up window setup and quick service too. One of the best ways to end a day or wrap up a weekend. Just wish they were open longer throughout year, but I get it.“

“I was in the area visiting from Canada and stumbled upon Handel's ice cream, and the ice cream was incredible. High quality ingredients, great service, and fair prices for the quality of the ice cream. This is what ice cream should be! Skip the gimmicks at the big chains, ignore the grocery store brands, and pick up some amazing ice cream from Handel's. I'll make a point of visiting next time I'm in the area.“

“My husband and I come here all of the time, we love our ice cream!!! This is our favorite ice cream now, I crave it over anywhere else. Their chocolate peanut butter is so good and we love their banana! The ice cream is cold (if you know you know, some ice cream just melts so fast, this is ice cream is nice and frozen) creamy, and thick! I also love ordering online and just picking up when I get there, super convenient!“

“We went during a neighborhood market when it was very busy so I’m sure it was more of a unique overly packed experience. But overall the staff was nice, and this little ice cream shop packs big flavor. Each of the ice cream flavors I tried were all very smooth and creamy with a pop of rich flavor. Very high quality ice cream.“

“The place was absolutely packed on a Friday night. It was surprising to see only 3 ice cream flavors: chocolate, vanilla and a special custom one they made but that's what makes the quality of the ice cream so good. I got a turtle ice cream sundae and it was incredible. The ice cream itself was so creamy and the perfect amount of milky tasting. What stood out was the flavor was a touch more sweet than store bought ice cream, maybe from vanilla extract but not in an overpowering way at all. They also sold various candy, chocolates and candied apples. I took home a turtle apple too, which was also incredible. Green apple was fresh, chocolate covering was decadent and combo of toppings perfect. I have no pictures to share because it was eaten too quickly. Please do yourself a favor and visit!“

“The gelato here is amazing and truly authentic!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarianDietary restrictions: All vegetarian, various vegan options, gluten friendly optionsWheelchair accessibility: Entrance and restroom are wheelchair accessible“

“Not sure why people would rate this place less than 4 stars. I'd hate to deal with customers like these. Staff is always nice whenever I come here with my toddler, they're very patient and friendly, always hook us up with extra toppings with no charge, and the ice cream is super good. No issues here!“

“The food was amazing!!! I got the croissant with strawberries, blueberries, chocolate, and sweet cream cheese and it was to die for! I am 100% coming back. The service was amazing the waitress was very nice even though she was new. The owner was also very sweet and seemed kind. This is definitely a go to spot in sellersvillle.“

“I live up the street from Kool Licks and I love that little shop. They have great options for hard ice cream, soft serve ice cream, and water ice. There is something for almost everyone here. The portions are generous and the prices are good. It is cash only though. A fantastic little neighborhood spot.“

“A little disappointed with selection for Easter- chocolate chip, sugar, brownie, lemon, and carrots cake. The only "fun" one was strawberry pretzel. Had a catering flyer and would have taken to keep handy, but no prices in it.But cookies were good - a little chewy and doughy with a little crisp on outside. Clean and modern storefront. Would probably try again.Parking: Pick up spots available right out front.Kid-friendliness: What kiddo doesn't like a good cookie? They have actual cookies baked on display, so you can see the size and offerings for the week.“

“What a nice surprise! We sat at the counter and Justin helped us out. He was great! Very kind and accommodating I try not to eat deep fried food and they made my home fries in the griddle- they were delicious! Thank you! Cute little spot. Definitely worth checking out.“

“We were looking for a last minute vendor for a large event we were hosting and Abundance Water Ice came through for us! Their water ice was a huge hit and they were amazing to work with! We highly recommend them for any event and hope to partner with them again in the future!“

“Who doesn't love Rita's? This location is small, and located in a strip mall. They have 2 windows and move pretty efficiently for a small crew. We have always had a good experience here, even when it's crowded. My favorite might be the gelati and the plain ice. I love the mango, mango strawberry, and peach, with pear a close second to that list“

“Everytime I go visit my family in Philly, I have to go to Joe's Water Ice. Since they live pretty close to it, I always walk here and on a hot summer day after sweating and walking to this place, it is always a nice treat to order some delicious shaved ice. I personally love the lemon flavor because its not too sweet or sour. I've had the cherry one, but personally that one is too sweet for my liking. You really gotta come here if you have never been to this place for some water ice! Even during colder seasons, I will always come here and enjoy my lemon ice.“

“This place is right next door to a really weird shaped building, pretty cool though. I like the thing that has the custard and the ice mixed, that's so good. Anyways, this was a nice Rita's and I think there's an insurance agency attached, so must be a nice family affair. Worth a lil drive to avoid the busier ones nearer me.“

“I wish there were more Friendly’s around us. All around still one of my favorite places to go and I’m 34! My mom used to take us here all the time and it was an all time favorite. I can’t wait to take my kids here and continue the tradition.“
