50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Southampton

“my favorite spot for dessert 🍨 no matter where I am. staff is always friendly.“

“Great flavor selection, great team. Always there when I need that sugar rush. If you’re in the area (and even if you’re not) Dreams is always worth the trip“

“A nice, friendly family business in Doy-town center. The ice cream is to die for, especially the seasonal pumpkin with buttery graham crackers, as it is homemade from Tanners Farm! So worth eating the ice cream here since the farm is quite a drive from Tanners. Also a nice post or pre County cinema treat! Def recommend!“

“The BEST flavors of ices I’ve ever tasted - new flavors every week. All family made. A MUST try! Soft serve too for those of us more traditional 🍧🍦“

“Angel Nunez had amazing customer service. Ice cream was great recommend the peach ice cream it was bomb!!“

“As the weather begins to warm up, I start my Sunday night tradition of going out to get a couple of scoops of ice cream or water ice. A couple months back, I wanted to try something different and go someplace I'd never tried before. So, good old Google found me a place, less than a mile away, which I never knew existed! I jumped in the car, drove down, and (long story short), I was blown away! I will ALWAYS choose a small local business over a corporate owned or franchised operation any day, and this wonderful couple not only serves delicious ice cream, incredible waffles, PLUS extremely delicious homemade waffle cones and bowls, but they also serve up love and hospitality! This is MY go-to place now, MY neighbors, and a part of MY extended family of sole proprietors! I am so glad I wanted something different that night! I sure got more than I asked for! If you are a customer already, you KNOW what I am talking about! If not, please give ScoopAffles a try! I promise you will not be disappointed and... will absolutely get hooked! 😁“

“Stopped in during the food truck festival and was blown away by the great service and fresh treats! 5/5 definitely recommend!!“

“King of Acai Rei do Açaí is a true gem in the world of frozen treats. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a smile and a welcoming atmosphere that sets the stage for a delightful experience. The selection of flavors is outstanding, ranging from timeless classics like chocolate and vanilla to unique and creative combinations that push the boundaries of traditional ice cream.“

“Outrageously creamy, house-made ice cream that’s thick enough to chew — that’s Oh Wow Cow. Consistently ranked among the top three ice cream parlors in the country and easily the number one on the East Coast, this place doesn’t just live up to the hype — it obliterates it.

Each flavor is more outrageous than the next, a lineup of pure mouth fuel. The dark chocolate tastes like midnight — bold, bittersweet, and dangerously smooth. The “crack” caramel? Addictive as sin, packed with crunchy toffee bits and salted-caramel swirls that pull you back in for another hit.

The move here is the flight — five scoops, roughly the size of two generous servings, and a ticket to flavor heaven. You’ll want to linger over every spoonful, chasing texture, savor, and surprise.

There’s always a line, and it’s always worth the wait. Oh Wow Cow doesn’t just make ice cream — it crafts an experience that sticks with you long after the last bite melts.“

“We come here very often And the young girls that work here are always super friendly and nice. Whoever does the hiring did a wonderful job I have two readers that are closer to my home, but I choose to drive the extra 10 minutes just to go to the Rita’s in Furlong! For some reason, the flavors are just so much better here also!“

“Mom's Ice cream shop is a hidden gem within Langhorne Borough. They offer a huge list of hard ice cream flavors along with some delicious soft serve ice cream and a variety of water ice. This business knows how to operate and gets their customers served quickly. Everyone working behind the counter seems pleasant and polite.“

“Great Ice Cream shop. They’re Birthday cake ice cream is legit deliciousness. Espresso xplosion and graham slaps too.“

“Great place to go and an awesome owner“

“I'm just rating the name. A star will be deducted each time ICE passes by without being mooned.“

“Delicious ice cream - homemade -and the waffle cones are amazing. Check it out!“

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“Not only did the owner of this store go out of his way to get me a cake made when I screwed up and ordered too late but all of our guests said it was the best ice cream cake they ever had. I have locations closer to me but this is the one we will be going to from now on and I am telling all of my friends and family the same.“

“I went in looking for a specific drink, while they didn't have it on the menu, they made it right on the spot for me! That's real service right there! The food is amazing! Best tater tots I ever had in my life. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and accommodating, especially Deb the owner. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Great ice cream and water ice, and a great family owned business! The employees are very kind and patient with children. Definitely a business that I recommend and will continue to support.“

“My first time there was a little confusing finding the entrance/window to order (by the way, it’s in the back).

Secondly, they don’t offer samples, which is disappointing, but it’s their policy. Buying a full scoop of a flavor I’ve never tried before is a gamble I don’t like taking.

Third, it’s about $6–7 for a single scoop. I think that’s a bit pricey (IMO), but since I only go once in a while, I guess I don’t mind paying it.

Fourth, seating is limited if you want to sit and enjoy your ice cream. I’ve only been there twice, and both times I ended up eating in my car. It kind of takes away from my summer evening ritual: sitting outside while the warm air melts into the ice cream and I have to eat it as fast as it melts (the little kid in me still loves that, lol).

That said, their banana pudding ice cream was delicious. I’ll definitely stop by one last time to treat my sweet tooth before they permanently close.“

“I truly enjoyed my time there and the clientele, in addition to the great soft Ice Cream and homemade water ices. I love supporting local businesses and ones that are owned by a family as well as a military veteran. I was honored to meet that very person as he happened to stop by! His name is Jimmy and his family name is on the sign! A lively, energetic, boisterous guy, with a huge sense of humor that is contagious! His daughter manages the window and the young people who work there are really nice to deal with. Amazingly good product! I was pleasantly surprised.“

“Older lady made it right. Came here a week ago and they did not fill my quart of water ice to the top. Came back tonight and had asked them to please make sure it was filled and possibly the manager gave me a regular size to make up for the missing water ice in the quart, I definitely appreciated this, good customer service. Will make sure I always come to this location now!“

“Their ice-cream cakes are amazing and priced very reasonably!“

“Summertime must! How to keep cool.“

“Please stop by this location with the newer owners! This is our go to spot for our blizzards and also for everyone’s birthday cake! They always have the cake we need at the last minute and always are willing to personalize it. The woman was so sweet last time we got a cake and she let my daughter help her with writing on the cake. They also made a donation for my daughter’s softball team fundraiser that was very generous. Definitely make this your go to Dairy Queen!“

“The employees here are so sweet and helpful. Delicious ice cream cakes can’t wait to get another one soon. Currently dreaming about it!!!“

“Walked approximately 710th of a mile with family for a nice stroll , got gelatis, then walked 710th of a mile back home....of course both ways were up hill. �“

“The flavors of water ice are amazing“

“I’ve been going to. Bruster’s shops for almost 20 years between Florida and now Trevose and the flavors never disappoint! Creamy and delicious homemade ice cream and yummy cakes if you so choose. There’s a flavor for everyone but my favorite is Espresso Yourself, Graham Central Station, New York Cheesecake, and the classic Cookies and Cream. You really can’t go wrong with any of them! The handmade in store waffle cones are to die for! Treat yourself to a tasty treat!“

“Service with kindness great flavors no one else has“

“the homemade ice cream is amazing!!“

“Summertime must! How to keep cool.“

“Outrageously creamy house-made ice cream. That ice cream is so thick it almost has a chew to it. First up: the dark, rich chocolate scoop. It delivers a bold cocoa punch right from the first bite — almost velvety in its depth — yet stays dense and chewy rather than melting away too quickly. Then there’s the “crack”-flavor creation: a dangerously addictive caramel-toffee base with crunchy toffee bits and a salted caramel swirl that you go back to again and again, long after you thought you were done.“

“This Rita’s is one of my favorite spots for a treat. Quality and service is terrific. However, there is a huge amount of bees by the trash cans, so while you are walking from your car to the store there are bees and wasps chasing you and even more after you order because you are holding sugar. Personally, I will not go there anymore because of my very bad bee phobia. I understand that little can be done about this, but I think spraying a bee killer spray in the trash cans regularly and also keeping them covered instead of open will make a huge difference. Hope no one gets stung over there. 🐝🐝🐝🐝“

“No matter when or what time of the day I stopped there everyone was pleasant and had the best customer service skills. If they didn’t have what I wanted which was rare Bryan would make it for me in minutes. So sad today there done. Have a safe winter see you all in the spring. Ps other Rita’s are open for a lil longer but other Rita’s definitely don’t taste like Bryan’s Rita’s.“

“Quick service and friendly staff. Easy to order and lots of choices. The staff showed me the size differences between the water ice cups. Like that there’s calorie count on the ordering menu. The sugar free tangerine was delicious and the mango gelati was tasty as well. Definitely put a lid on them if you are travelling somewhere and you can’t eat it right away. The soft pretzels looks great too!
Easy to park and place your order at the window.
Maybe Rita’s should start drive thru’s as well??

Dietary restrictions: I’m dairy free so I just order the water ice. I cannot order the gelati sadly. Rita’s, how about dairy free/vegan soft serve ice cream ?“

“It's not the biggest DQ, but it does have like 6 tables inside and the staff is generally very nice. I am pretty sure (about 80%) they don't serve food other than ice cream and other frozen treats. So, don't come looking for burgers and such. That's really all it would take to make this 5 star.“

“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!“

“I ordered a smoothie today from this location. The manager, Peter, was very clean. He changed his gloves a few times within my order and another person's order. Peter, spoke well English and I was able to communicate with him well. He was very honest when I gave him too much money during my transaction. I would definitely go back to this location again in the future.“

“We Love this place!! delicious ice cream and friendly service.“

“Such fun and unique ice cream shop!“

“Always a nice place to take your kids on a hot day. Not a ton of seating if you plan on staying but the staff (mostly students) are all very friendly and generally very helpful.

Parking: On a busy day, parking is near impossible in the lot as it's pretty tight, and there aren't many spots, but street parking is always a viable option.“

“I've never had bad service and everything has always been incredible“

“The kids there are absolutely LOVELY. There is two kids in particular, both with accents, a blonde and brunette who are absolutely outstanding and always there whenever I come with my son. They definitely make the Dairy Queen a safe, fun environment and are overall my favorite two to see whenever I come! The ice cream is always good and taste fresh. No complaints here! Thanks Maple Glenn Dairy Queen!“

“I think the flavors Piña colada and Key Lime are the best here... everytime I go there I received excellent service...“

“Good atmosphere. For the most part the staff is very nice and friendly.

Parking: There's a small lot but always parking available. I've never been unable to get a parking spot and have been gong to this location for the last 10 years.“

“really good food and good defiantly recommend going there again“

“This is an old style Dairy Queen where you walk up to one window to order and the other to receive your item. There is no indoor seating, so unless you want to eat in your car, this is not a location to go to in inclement weather. The staff are always friendly, and they do make very good blizzards.“

“Last Sunday morning and arrived 2 hours too early, as they open at 12....This is my post yoga ritual when I travel home to Philly...The owner had come to retrieve something from the store and I explained that I grew up in the area, but lived in SC now...Told him my fav was chocolate and that in SC, we don't get all the flavors... He unexpectedly came out with a cup of chocolate water ice.. Thank you..It was awesome! Will be back whenever I get to visit home..and appreciate your hospitality!!“
