“Hello I went to Coldstone last weekend, their ice cream is so delicious and they have a vegan option but I wish that they would add more vegan options for people who don't eat dairy at all. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.“
“Took me bit to review this Glorious spot. I first read about in in the Italian-American Gazette (I’m Irish). A Paisan friend at a S Philly Espresso joint which I thought had the best Cappuccino in the city that Grand Caffe L’Aquilla was the best. After Holy Thursday at St Patrick’s I went there and I have to concur. And the best Barista , MattFriday my friend and I who was with me Thursday went on Good Friday and had Dinner. We both had Grilled Octopus. Que Cosa Bella! Tasted delicious like straight from the Sea. Ridiculously inexpensive. The waiters Boro and Luigi couldn’t be more accommodating + Funny and friendly. HIGHLY Recommend“
“I have enjoyed this place since it opened! The staff is magnificent. They are personable and take care of you! The atmosphere is wonderful. It is a wood decor. There is not a lot of seating inside, but there is ample seating outside. There is a good size parking lot (approximately 15 spots) and more parking right out front. The food and coffee is wonderful!The lattes are not extremely sweet of the syrups I get. This is a preference of mine real and strong coffee locally roasted!“
“These pretzels are so $&@#!% good! They pull them out of the oven and right into a vat of butter making the soft doughy goodness a vessel for butter and dreams. The pretzel dog is knee weakening, too. Can't go to reading terminal without grabbing at least one!“
“From the tasting to after the wedding, Bredenbeck’s was amazing! The cake came out EXACTLY how I expected it to. It was beautiful! And it tasted amazing! All of my guests really loved every layer (each one was a different flavor). We had a small issue with the filling but Bredenbeck’s rectified the issue right away and took accountability! I look forward to visiting them for another cake order in the future!“
“I’ve been going here for years with my wife. Great food and good prices. It’s always nice to support a Muslim business.Dietary restrictions: My wife can only have dairy free and they’ve always accommodated her and her preferences. And the food doesn’t taste any less great!“
“First time there I accidentally stumbled across it because of google maps .Highly recommend I had the Oreo shake it was freaking amazing.The owner was super friendly.Such a cute place to take your kids with seating arrangements for the family .“
“Adorable little spot!! Had NO idea this place was here all this time. Love supporting local business. I got a strawberry cheesecake ice cream brownie sundae. OMG. Amazing. Hubs got moose tracks with toppings in a waffle bowl. So good! Def coming here from now on for my next ice cream fix!“
“We came in on a December Thursday night and were the only ones in the store. You're able to sample any flavor you want, which was great. We ended up getting thin mint and a pumpkin, which were both delicious. The sad part about winter is that not many people are coming in for ice cream, so the ice cream itself wasn't as creamy and had some ice chunks. I've come in the summer and thought the ice cream was delicious then. Give it a try if you're in the area!“
“Clean minimal shop with quality matcha products and great ice cream.Strawberry and earl grey swirl are my current go to after dinner in Chinatown, however it is a seasonal flavor so get it while you can. I’ve also had the hojicha float which was refreshing and had a deep roasted nutty flavor with an edge of bitterness.What I enjoy most about this place is the typical Asian compliment when it comes to dessert “not so sweet”.Surreal is quite trendy but I find myself becoming quickly tired of it due to amount, all the toppings, and just the overall sweetness of the ice cream whereas matcha Maiko has the perfect amount of sweetness to remind you it’s a treat but not to the point where halfway through you feel like need water or tea to tone down the sugar“
“First time checking this place out. The young people that work here provided very good customer service. The soft vanilla ice cream was good as well as the cookie dough hard ice cream and vanilla soft ce cream with sprinkles.I would recommend this place. Another bonus is that this place has a drive through and some parking spaces.“
“I couldn't put the cup down. It was sooooo fresh and tasty. I was able to try all the available options before purchasing. The mango lemonade was the best. I had the blueberry lemonade as well. That was great too. I love that I could see the fruit in the water ice. I definitely will be back to try other flavors and the funnel cake next time I'm in Philly!!“
“"If you know you know!" Desserts are on the lighter side which i like not the average sugar loaded desserts . Lots of Mango stuff obviously... some red bean yum.. I'm glad they have this spot in the northeast we don't have to travel to China Town and deal with the parking, this is close to home ??“
“"Carminati Creamery is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a cozy atmosphere and the most delightful aroma of freshly made gelato. Their flavors are inventive and bursting with authentic taste, each scoop a heavenly indulgence. The staff is friendly and always eager to help you find your perfect flavor. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, Carminati Creamery never fails to exceed expectations. A must-visit for any gelato lover!"“
“There's not other way to describe this place except..surreal. The menu boasts boba soft serve combos as well as crazy mixes of soft serve, as well as cake topped with toppings frosting and soft serve in mason jars! Our favorites was the taro boba topped with taro and matcha swirl! The flavors were amazing and the boba was the perfect consistency! The Cookie Monster themed nom nom was perfect for kids (3 kids could share one!) and the chocolate cake mason jar but was 90% soft serve and 10% cake/frosting/fudge/etc. Super friendly and helpful employees. Pricey but worth every penny. Will be back soon!“
“The most amazing fresh food in this little unexpected café is Incredible!!My favorite breakfast is the Royal eggs Benedict! This dish has fresh asparagus, fresh spinach, perfectly poached eggs, a homemade hollandaise sauce, and accompanied by fresh potatoes and onions. DELICIOUS ❣️“
“This would be my third time coming to this small ice cream shop .I came in with my two young children after ordering I proceeded to pay with my debit card unfortunately their system was doing and can only accept Venmo or cash I didn’t have any cash, and I do not have Venmo jay (employee ) was so sweet and understanding he gave me the option to come back and pay which not many places would do for lack of trust .. at the end I was able to get my hubby to Venmo the placeI will be back thank you jay !“
“Philadelphia has several excellent small batch ice cream platforms for your tasty enjoyment. Weckerly's on Girard Avenue in Fishtown, is one of them. I was recently there for a Yelp Event where we sampled a scoop of one of two available flavors. It was smooth, silky, sweet and addictive. In addition, I purchased a take home Classic Sandwich (Vanilla ice cream between Chocolate Wafers), which was even more compelling that the Graham Berry concoction tasted while in the house. The sandwich was thick with 'scream - more than an inch wide - while the choco layer was stable enough to hold the opus together and last to the very last lickin' bite. The vanilla was creamy and inviting; while the wafer offered a soft embrace with mild flavor that did not dominate their combination. Family loved it, too. Made me wish I had started with those other mixtures which were definitely the best way to experience what Weckerly's really had to showcase. Apple Breakfast, or any flavor between shortbread cookies....Are you kidding me?!?! Return visit mandatory!“
“If there was a real life Wonka to go to this would be it. Amazing offerings of ice cream and cookies with a twist that works perfectly. I love that this shop is about to have their 1 year anniversary soon. They've earned it. Thank you for an phenomenal experience!!“
“I'm giving this amazing place 4 stars because as amazing as it has been my whole life, I have some issues.I understand as a business, employees reflect your business, a few times I have had weird looks, and I felt slightly uncomfortable about that.Not only that, but they have messed up a few items in the past, and it has upset a couple of family members, because you want a treat the same as me, and then you open it up and find out it's not what you ordered.Another issue I have, the staff has had some nasty remarks or comments, some under the breath murmurs, or any quips as they turn their head away, thinking you won't hear them.I stay quiet, because typically when I am there, there is a big line, and I don't want the attention, but that is frustrating.Everyone who complains about it being cash only needs to grow up and carry some paper with them. Big deal you need to have a 20 dollar bill to get the family some frozen treats.But, the positives. This place has been around for so long, I don't even want to think about the history it holds.Overall the staff is nice, sweet, helpful, and overall keeps a smile on their faces even during rush/booming hours.The service is quick, they are good with money, and I haven't had any dealbreaking troubles there.Bad workers come and go, but the Custard Stands.(See what I did there? ?)Anyway, bring a 20, get yourself something delectable, and maybe a cone for your kid too.P.S, it's New Jersey, they are Jimmies. Not sprinkles.“
“Really love this place. I went there on a sweltering summer day to pick up an order my girlfriend had placed. There was a mixup finding the order (not their fault, I was working with incomplete information) but the staff was friendly and understanding the whole time. When we got it all resolved I was able to pick up what I went there for and got an ice cream sandwich for the road. Really delicious vegan Ice cream and cool folks! Float Dreamery is a great addition to the neighborhood and I'm looking forward to visiting again!“
“Absolutely amazing experience! The matcha latte was honestly the best quality I have ever tasted! All the food we ordered wasn't too sweet, and the matcha flavor itself was delicious! I was wary of a matcha overload, but it was perfect. The atmosphere is adorable too, and the matcha was in a cute green cup. I admire how even the ice cream cone wasn't the generic too-sweet cone. My kid brother loved the stuffed animals, and we will definitely come back!! ?“
“Really nice place inside. I had the Non-Dairy Cookies n' Creme milkshake. It was really really good. Consistency was nice and thick, with chunks of cookies left in it after it was spun. "Matt" served me. Nice and very friendly guy. Price was reasonable, too. The only thing I have to say is that I wish the straws were a more solid material, instead of paper. The integrity starts to get weak, due to absorption of the liquid, if you don't finish it fast enough. I do like the environmentally-friendly idea, though. Overall, five stars for my first time visiting ?.“
“You have to love It...!!! Rolled Ice Cream...!!! Fresh and Yummy...!!! How about Yummy Rolled Ice Cream in China Town during The Chinese New Year Celebration. The parade and fire crackers were directly outside. It was great, but I'm getting off track here... This place Rocks...!!! Very good and affordable. A little small but really nice. If you have not been to one of these places... They make the ice cream in front of you and it is really good. I thought this was extra cool about the staff. At the time we were there, it was really busy. Standing room only. It was packed and the guy who took my order remembered me, what I ordered and brought it to me. Great Service...!!!“
“Chill on the Hill had mango fruit topping! 5 stars from me!They also had fresh strawberries and blueberries and HOT FUDGE! Most froyo places have that cold, watery bottled chocolate sauce. Most importantly, they have good yogurt and the flavors I liked.“

“Good ice cream, nice people. Pricing was...Well, $6 for one scoop of ice cream with a cup or cone. No toppings. Mind you, the ice cream wasn't bad, but there was really nothing special about it.It is a local business, so I understand.I got mint brownieBasically mint with brownie chunksIt was goodThey have cool conesThere's a blue oneParking: Parking is fine, you can park in the street or in a parking lot with a 60-ish second walk away.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, staff politeWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, steep steps. Not that it helps, but there is a kinda rough sidewalk that could get a wheelchair to outside of it“
“Warm peach cobbler with banana pudding ice cream was amazing! Will definitely be back. Only reason why 4 stars is because it says it opens at 12, but no one was there, it was like 12:15 when someone came to open. I almost left but I'm glad I didn't.“
“Found this little place while visiting an in-law, and I can't wait to come back! It was a very homey vibe...cute & comfy. There were two employees behind the counter (one appeared to be new, but awesome) who were HUSTLING to manage the rush that arrived just after my husband and I ordered. They remained patient, communicative, efficient and avoided cross contamination, which means a lot to me. I watched them consistently change gloves between handling different orders, even while preparing 8 different tickets. That alone was enough to sell me on this place. Now, our orders... I had the avocado toast with egg & tomato. It wasn't the best, but it was reasonably priced, and well prepared. My husband had the cinnamon bun waffles... he's a sweets lover, and he was very happy that the waffle wasn't overly crispy. The icing on top was the perfect touch. He also had an iced matcha latte, which was (surprisingly) blended. He loved it! If it wasn't for the rush of customers, he would've gotten another one to take home. I had an iced dirty chai latte--it was the perfect mix of spiced chai and bold coffee. Maybe one of the best that I've tasted.“
“Love this place. They always receive me with a smile. I go there often to get ice cream and blizzards. This week I bought an ice cream cake from them for my birthday and I asked them to make it galaxy theme. I communicated with the cake decorated and it turned out beautifully. Looks amazing and tastes amazing!“
“Many people have "must visit" places in the Reading Terminal Market. For us, it's Bassett's Ice Cream! It really is the best ice cream anywhere but serve it in the Market, with the greatest staff and this why we stop any time of year! Today, it was low 20s outside, did we care, NO, we had to have our Bassett's!“
“I just moved here from NC last weekend, and everywhere that I have been, people have been rude! I came here to get ice cream the other day it was warm outside. The Hispanic lady that I encountered was no nice, customer service was just amazing!!!! I just wanted to hug her lol because it definitely gave me hope that I won’t encounter rude people everywhere I go in Philly. The ice cream was delicious as well. Thank you!!“
“More than a cookie! More of a dessert, like eating a piece of cake after dinner. Very filling. Personally enjoyed the Cookie Butter cookie - tasted like a DunkAroo ?. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was good too tasted like literal cookie dough you’d put in the oven.“
“This is hands-down my favorite place to get ice cream in the area. We've been coming here for years. I love not only the ice cream and the friendly staff, but also the commitment to the local community and schools with different fundraisers.“
“The most amazing cookies! This store is clean, the staff provide quick service, and of course, the cookies are absolutely delectable.So far, I have tried the blueberry muffin, chocolate chip, wedding cake, brownie sundae, and Kentucky butter cake. I plan to go back on a weekly basis for their specialty flavors.All in all, I recommend this location to pick up a sweet treat and smile!“
“I love stopping in because the coffee is that good. The cafe can be a little crowded and noisy but in this virtual world it is nice to take a break from the house to work elsewhere. They even have some outside seating. Staff is always pleasant and they have a great selection of coffee and tea beverages.“
“This place gets BUSY but the staff works incredibly hard and fast! The ice cream is light with a wide array of interesting flavors. Hard scoop type, no softserve/custards. They make their own waffle cones which always smell incredible-- sweet, vanilla-rich, and toasty.If you're newer to Jeni's, go when there isn't a crazy line to taste a couple flavors. It holds up the line like crazy when a party of people want to try every flavor and the rest of the line is spilling onto the street lol.Vegetarian options: Large selection of dairy based ice creams and some non-dairy!Dietary restrictions: notify staff if you have dietary restrictions! The scoops mostly share the same cleaning station.Parking: super limited street parking. Nearby paid garages and lots.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly ice creamWheelchair accessibility: It's a somewhat narrow location!“
“The atmosphere isn't as warm as the cookies but I must say the cookies are awesome. I got the 12 pack mini sampler and it was awesome. I can't believe I ate all 12 over the span of 3 days. Pop them in the microwave for 5 seconds ND you got deliciousness. I like that the ingredients to each one matched the name.“
“I went here for the first time with a friend who recommended it, and I fell in love on the spot!!!! I had gotten the monster cookies and cream ice milkshake with cinnamon toast crunch pieces mixed in, and cookie crumbles on top. I want to try their mason jar ice next time. Along with the Boba teas.“
“in the heart of Philly is this little water ice spot that serves really tasty water ice. Multiple different flavors my family was able to choose from and they all loved it. Wonderful and speedy service. Really nice staff, overall an extremely pleasant experience to enjoy a nice treat.“
“OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! This icecream is life changing!! Im about to go get a higher paying job and hit the gym 3x/day so I can eat this icecream EVERY DAY!!!! It tastes like the best moments of my childhood in a cone! It tastes like I died and went to heaven and fat little babie angels are flying around spraying magical sparkles over me! This icecream is not to be missed! Its the best icecream Iv had in my entire life of international travel!!!!!“
“Ordered a Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard today and it did not disappoint! Extremely well blended and THICK! Can’t wait to try other Blizzard Flavors! The place is very clean and it’s big enough to hang with your family or a bigger group! Will be back!Kid-friendliness: Great clean place to take your kids for a Blizzard treat!“
“Sweet cozy place! Convenient to SEPTA Regional Rail, pick up and go! Quality beverage cups! Lids fit, solid build, and good sleeves that ensure a smooth beverage experience! boutique offerings and friendly staff. Management is always working hard to maintain quality product and service offerings! Cheers to #“

“Probably the largest assortment of flavors I’ve ever seen at a Rita’s! Outside seating and two parking lots on each side of the building. I mean they have 8+ ice cream flavors and like 12+ water ice flavors! Never seen so many opinions at any Rita’s. The crew here is super friendly mostly young adult with an adult supervisor who is kind and professional too! This is the Rita’s I go to when I want something new, unexpected or unusual lol trust me there’s so much to choose from! Clean outside but doesn’t stay that way for long - this place get packed! So go early and if on the weekends get ur to go home with lol this is a family place tons of variety for the lil ones.“

“Yo, so I got there and it said it opens at 12 pm but we had to wait for about 5 minutes which wasn't that bad. When we ordered our ice cream the employees there were very nice to me and my little brother and the ice cream was very good. I'm happy with this place! :)“
“It was good, but there's no organization for the lines, people stand wherever, you're never sure where to stand. They need to get some rope or something to let people know there are two windows for service. The war ice was good, but the turkey sausages weren't as good as they've been in the past.“
“This was my first time visiting surreal icecream and I was pleasantly surprised. The blue icecream was very good, definitely a fan of soft serve and there were many options of flavors. The cake on the bottom was pictured as a vanilla cake but it was a chocolate cookie and cream flavor with chunks of chocolate. If you're looking for a quick dessert I would recommend this spot for sure“

“These girls were so helpful when I was being really annoying. I asked for the wrong cone and they gave me the wrong one and the right one and didn’t charge me and didn’t even seem bothered. The darkest chocolate was so good. Thanks for your “
“First time checking out this spot and this is my new favorite spot. The cherry and strawberry mango water ice was sooooo good. It is the best water ice I ever had. The gourmet seafood pretzel and chicken alfredo was out of this world. The flavors and the pretzel bread was so soft. I also appreciated how kind they were. Great customer service?!“
“Clear floors,great music and wonderful service. The new owners definitely have stepped up the level of service. My family is making this our regular spot.. for the kids mostly the treats and for us mostly the service both of which are awesome!“
