50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Swarthmore

“Service is really good, arrived and a kind young gentleman (I wonder if he was the manager, wish I could have gotten his name) was ready to help us out. Cake was delicious, you made my daughter’s bd a success, thank you so much for the coffee and the donut as well!“

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

“Best Gelato I've had, Cherry...(I will be trying all flavors). Best in the city in my opinion!! The Soft Serve is soft, thick and creamy, so delicious!! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are plentiful. Nice, friendly staff, clean establishment. My family and I have made this our #1 Ice Cream 🍨🍦 Spot!!!! 😋“

“DELICIOUSLY GREAT WATER ICE GO GET YOURS very friendly service thanks for stopping in charleston wv“

“This ice cream, funnel cake and water ice shop is fantastic! The staff are super fast and always make sure you’re satisfied with your order. There’s a wide variety of delicious choices on the menu, and everything tastes amazing. The employees are not only polite but also really funny. I highly recommend this spot — I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always worth it!“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

“My husband and I absolutely adore Curly's Carnival Eats and Creamery! It’s our favorite place to escape and indulge our inner kids. The atmosphere is vibrant and nostalgic, perfectly capturing the fun spirit of the fair without the crowds. Every bite from the perfectly crispy funnel cakes to the decadent, creative ice cream flavors, is a celebration.

The portions are generous, the staff is cheerful, and it’s truly a unique spot that we look forward to visiting every time. If you want great desserts and fantastic carnival classics, make sure to bring your partner, family, friends, etc and check out Curly's! Highly, highly recommend!“

“Delicious! Great service right to your door!“

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

“I usually don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but Lu and Aug’s is changing that! Their soft serve is perfect — smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. Between simple vanilla to their more extravagant specialities, Lu and Aug’s has brought something different and delicious to the Main Line sweet treat scene. I especially look forward to their seasonal flavor drops. My favorites so far have been lavender earl grey and just yesterday, chai spice. I actively look forward to seeing what flavor they are going to come up with next! I also recently tried their hot chocolate which was yummy. The staff is super friendly and service is quick, even when they are busy (which is most of the time!). Definitely recommend visiting this great spot in Ardmore.“

“Saw the roadside sign about new ice cream cakes and decided to order one. This is the type with just ice cream but you get to customize the mix or vanilla/chocolate, the sauce and candy crunch filling, and the sprinkles. The only thing they don’t do is write on the cake. It is a bit pricey but it is huge. The fudge wasn’t quite all the way through but it was very good. Service was also excellent - when the cake needed more time to freeze, they offered to deliver it if I wanted, discounted the cake, and gave me a coupon.

They now take credit cards but impose a fee. Debit cards aren’t charged but it isn’t clear on the signage or the screen, only once you get a receipt is the surcharge not there.“

“Love! The Cosmic Beets ice cream sandwich was delicious! I was hesitant to order it, but so glad I did. Hoping to see dark chocolate ginger on the menu again soon.“

“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!!!!“

“The water ice was phenomenal“

“Cool refreshments, nice people!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“what is your favorite song for you to“

“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.“

“Please keep the Chocolate Cherry Chunk all year. It is THE BEST!!!“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“If you haven’t been to Mochi Heaven, you’re missing out! From the warm welcome to the incredible flavors, every visit is a treat. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with bold, unforgettable taste. Whether you’re craving your favorites or trying something new, you’ll be hooked from the first bite. Amazing service, great atmosphere, and food that keeps you coming back—Mochi Heaven truly lives up to its name! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-try!“

“It's the most popular water ice spot in the area for a reason. Everything is reasonably priced and tastes great. I'm a big fan of strawberry shakes and cheese pretzels. Shakes are always perfect and the pretzels are always warm, soft and fresh. Oh forgot to mention they also stay open later than all of the convenience stores in the area. If you haven't been then go check it out, you won't be disappointed..“

“I have absolutely no idea who Benson Boone is, but I love his cookie collaboration with crumble, maybe he's in the wrong business, he should definitely be making desserts not songs. Crumble cookies are super soft, delicious, and sugary, my mom and dad and I all loved them!“

“Awesome! Tasty! Mango donuts. Try a fresh baked donut. What a light fluffy and tasty flavor. Perfect snacks. Great for a date or to go.

Wonderful staff and super proud of there products.

Come down and check out the awesome ice cream flavors. So many yummy drinks. Check out the photos for details. Place is super clean and professional.“

“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.“

“Cool little ice cream shop. The owner is a really nice guy. The homemade ice cream was phenomenal!“

“Main Scoop Deli is now working as Z Mart LLC. It's an American complete go-to convenience store for food, snacks, hot and cold beverages and so much more. This family grocery store is Owned by MR. Zulfiqar. Clean store, great customer service, and an outstanding selection of products. Helpful personnel with good insight. Highly recommended.“

“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“

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

“Oh my goodness ... This was the best waterice. It was so tasty. I also got the cinnamon pretzel with the icing that was good. It was a nice treat. The $3 Thick water ice is a really good portion. I was very pleased with how flavorful it was . I would highly recommend this location for something sweet and reasonable.“

“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. 😌🥰“

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

“They went above and beyond to make my 19 year old grandson’s Christmas. He could have asked for many things for Christmas and probably gotten them. He said he wanted what he’d been asking for, for a few years, Cry Baby Ice Cream. It was a core memory from middle school that he’s not forgotten. Life gets in the way and not until a few days before Christmas did my daughter reach out to Rich at Rosati Ice to see if we could make this happen for him. The day Before Christmas Eve my daughter and I drove 4.5 hours from Virginia to get Cry Baby Ice Cream. Even though the company was busy with their Christmas Party, employee Nick took time away to come over to the store so we could get the product. Rich’s generosity and thoughtfulness is top notch. Of all the gifts my grandson received, the Cry Baby Ice Cream put the biggest smile on his face.“

“They finally got smart and double-cupped my large Chocolate-dipped Strawberry Blizzard the past two days!“

“Deliscious berger, would try again. JUST NOT ON TACO TUESDAYYYYYY #TACO#TUESDAYY“

“I took my nephew here today and he passed out on the car ride there and it’s mid nap time I did not want to wake him up and the young girl behind the counter Olivia was so sweet she even brought the food and water ice out to the car because I didn’t want to wake him up just to grab the food! Every single time I’m there it’s always an amazing experience all the workers are very sweet. A friend and I just went there two days ago for some water ice and another amazing Experience! Plus they definitely have the best water ice and food!!!! Highly Highly HIGHLY recommend if you haven’t been there before you need to go and check it out!!!! They even have a cute little outdoor seating area! Thank you Chloes Corner for always making it a pleasure to come back!“

“Delicious food, very polite staff and very clean inside! Highly recommend!“
