50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Springfield

“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.“

“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“

“Went to this DQ with my mom and dad in the 60s and 70s. We always sat on the side seating areas. Left the area in the 80s but returned to this location in early 90s with my daughter. A great experience. Looking forward to visiting next year!“

“Was very happy with the decision to visit the Springfield location, and the food was fresh and delicious. While other staff members may have felt lack luster at time, I really appreciated Sam who made sure I had the best experience and went out of here way for me.“

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

“CASH ONLY UNDER $10

Best hard ice cream around. They have seasonal flavors, and only close “for the season” for like 3 months. Their prices are super super cheap, got a 6 flavor sample platter for like $8.

I’ve also had their ice cream cake which is super good as well.

Line can get quite long, even on weeknights in the winter and fall. But that means they’re doing something right.“

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

“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. 🎃“

“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.“

“So freakin' good! From the cheesy curly fries, to the delicious funnel cake, to the tasty milkshake topped with the best whipped cream. Yummm!“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

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

“Such fun for these kiddos!“

“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.“

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

“Ever since I first tried this ice cream shop in 2025 I've been in love with it!! I a worried that they were going to have to close at the end of the year, but they're under new ownership! Despite new owners, they still have their original flavors and have even added some new ones!! My favorite OG flavor is their Lemon Buttermilk, and my two new favorites are their Matcha and Thai Tea! This visit I got the matcha and Thai tea on a fresh waffle (as pictured). Nothing but good vibes and delicious flavors here!!“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

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

“So good! 3 flavors in a regular water ice cup“

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

“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!“

“Our go-to spot - best ice cream in (and really anywhere near) Ardmore. The espresso is delicious too, and if you combine the 2 in one of their Affogatos...even better. All of their specialties and one-off flavors are spot on, and the customer service is great. Thanks, Lu & Aug's!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

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

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“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“

“Writing this review as I'm eating my hoagie because it's THAT good - haven't even finished it yet. I took it home to go. The bread they have is amazing, I got the seeded roll. And the ingredients taste so fresh and high-quality. I got the Turkey'd Out hoagie which is one of their specialty hoagies and i highly recommend it. You can also add some extra toppings to your liking. The hoagie was bigger than I expected which is great because I eat a lot. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can to try the other specialty hoagies.

In addition to the food - amazing/friendly service, very clean inside.“

“they have the best yogurt in town“

“This bakery never disappoints! Both of my girls loved your Gryffindor cupcakes at Harry Potter days in the early 2000s. You made a gorgeous celestial cake for my oldest during the pandemic and, most recently, a beautiful and delicious 25th birthday cake with the F1 theme she asked for. Thank you for such consistent quality over the years! ❤️“

“I went inside Rita’s today with my mom. The shop was small and cute. I told one of the workers that I applied for the job as a part time team member. They said that they will look at applicants next week. Anyways, I ordered a cotton candy Italian ice and it was delicious. I would recommend going there. 😄“

“I’ve come here a few times and have had pleasant experiences all the times I’ve come here. The last time I came here I got a turtle sundae and my friend got the black and white milkshake and they were both really good, highly recommend. Would come back again.“

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

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

“I get fantastic service at this Rita's location, from kind and attentive staff like Tommy, Ryan, and Ethan, who always smile and welcome me.The lines move super fast, its a great in and out treat to get on a hot day! Theres a large selection of flavors to choose from.“

“I really enjoyed my experience here!!! The Peanut Butter Explosion was amazing, and the gentleman with the red hair was very pleasant and accommodating! Thanks 😊“

“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“

“Looked at a few Rita’s for Schwarberry flavor. The team at Eddystone Rita’s went above and being to get the flavor in stock. They even texted me to let me know it was made and ready to be picked up. They could have easily said ‘No, don’t have it!’. They promised me they would get what they needed to make it and did not disappoint. They made myself and my Phillies loving mother very happy! The staff are so friendly and personable! Thanks Rita’s!!!“

“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!“

“Omg and wow !!! Best ice cream in Claymont DE - hands down !!! Absolutely delish !!!!“

“Excellent ice cream and fun for All!“

“I went in here looking for something wasn't quite sure and the young lady suggested the strawberry cheesecake ice cream. And I was so glad that she did it was so delicious and you can tell that the ice cream was freshly made with pieces of strawberry cheesecake in it. Definitely sent my taste buds and palette into a happy place. I will definitely be going back and suggest anyone else that wants some good homemade ice cream to do the same you won't regret it. 😌🥰“

“Best in Delco. The price is unbeatable and taste is yummy 😋😋😋👌🤘.“
