“Honestly i cannot express enough how much i love coming to cali shakes in the deptford mall. Everyone there is so considerate & kind. A young lady named, Ella helped me create my first create your own smoothie march 28th. She was so sweet & happy. What a lovely way to be greeted, if your looking for a place with amazing fresh shakes this is the place to go.“
“Love the cookies here! We were just roaming the mall and came across this place in the food court. I got a handful of cookies with their deal and they're the perfect consistency. I'm a fan of softer cookies and these were just great. Nice selection here and the workers were super helpful & friendly.“
“It was a really nice vibe and the food was pretty good. Nothing too crazy, but good. The waitress was really nice and accommodating for our baby stroller and the vibe and music was relaxing and chill. Had me dancing in my seat a littleVegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options of course, but who goes to Friendly’s for a vegetarian meal…?However in the case there is a vegetarian among you, the soups and salads were pretty good.“
“Love this place for Gelato and drinks. Feel like in Italy when entering the shop. can eat in or take out Gelato. There is a bar inside that they made fresh coffee as well. Best espresso martini and Aperol spitz. There is a restaurant upstairs too but didn’t try yet. Many import staff from Italy. Very enjoy to be in this place. really recommended“
“Delicious ice cream, charming ambiance (moulin rouge-cirque du soleil vibes mixed with a daydream) and a diverse menu that would cater to whatever mood I’m in. Chris was awesome in breaking down all the options and served us up something tasty. Love this place!“
“Flavors were absolutely amazing. My entire family of 3 loved all the different flavors that were available. After our first visit, my son has already petitioned me to only go to this store and no other for ice cream. So now I am expected to drive from NYC to Philly each week for Milk Jawn.“
“I spontaneously stopped by Miller's Twist and bought a Philly Cheesesteak pretzel. The value and the taste were very good. However, it is very crowded in the food hall, and you may have to wait a little longer.All in all, this is a great stand and definitely worth a visit if you want to eat delicious pretzels and other snacks.“
“LOVED IT HERE! Truly authentic Italian cooking, with authentic ingredients to purchase. The staff was so friendly and accomodating on their menu. We had to make a slight change in order for a vegetarian, and they had no issues. We tried their breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches, and each bite was jam packed with substance & flavor (I mean, just look at the layers in my photo.) Fresh ingredients, and an overall quaint/bright spot. This would be an awesome place to post up and get some work done, do some people watching, and enjoy delicious food. Not to mention, their baked goods looked out of this world. We wanted to get so much, but I landed on their passion fruit donut, partly because it was the last one left (so I figured something must be good!) And let me tell you, their dough is different. The donut was dense & fluffy at the same time, and their passion fruit flavor was y-u-m-m-y. I can't wait to go back to try more sandwiches and get some grocery shopping done!“
“The best water ice, hands down. The prices are good, they use fresh fruit, and the flavors are delicious. Staff is kind and quick. even with long lines it’s still a pleasure to go here because it moves fast. I am always sad when they close for the season! This is a neighborhood- and Philadelphian- staple and I’m so glad it is part of our community.“
“Always wanted to try this place and didn’t realize I was walking right past it yesterday.Amazing! The banana mixture is super smooth, the guy was so nice and friendly, and it’s a mom and pop small business- support them for sure!!!Really cool selection of choices that are not the usual run of the mill.Will be back and you should try this place for sure!“
“The owners are the nicest people around and also provide a level of service that is unmatched. Oh and the gelato is the best my family has ever tasted In our lives and we don't have to go to Italy for it. Thank you dolce vita, you have customers for life.“
“Very detailed, knowledgeable, FUN pasta making class! The space is intimate and Nick was great at teaching us how to properly make pasta. Hands down the best pasta we had in Philly. The pistachio pesto sauce is out of this world and the charcuterie boards before the meals were delicious! They had pasta kits available for sale which we snagged after the class. It was a different fun thing to do and we cant wait to make our pasta at home :-)“
“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“
“Live love Chucks ? best water ice and custard in South Philly, everything is homemade and fresh and the owners are so sweet. Down to earth place, prices are affordable. Personal favorite ices are the black cherry, pina colada, and strawberry lemonade.“
“If you’re on a first date, the kids are hungry or you just want a sweet treat, what’s the scoop is probably one of the best places for you. Great atmosphere and CLEAN places to sit. Many different and unique ice cream to pick from while keeping the originals and great service. When I went to what the scoop I was greeted and, me myself love blue ice cream. I don’t know what it is about it but it’s just my thing. They have Cookie Monster cream and it was very very good and I will look towards having it again. The attendant was very sweet and personable. Free samples and surprising great spoons which isn’t important but you’ll have to go there to understand. It’s almost like a shovel for the ice cream that just adds to the experience. Don’t look any further for ice cream or just something to enjoy. Inexpensive, homie, and quickly served.“
“Look at the perfect swirl of the soft serve! The soft serve was rich and creamy with a smooth texture. We were shocked to get 8oz of soft serve for only $6 after we paid extra $0.5 for the waffle cone! Also if you’re wondering, it was totally worth it to get the waffle cone.If I ever go back I’ll try the coffee cookie dough ice cream that we didn’t have enough stomach space to try.＊ Vanilla Soft Serve with Dark Chocolate DipMy friend ordered this classic combo, simple but delicious. The Valrhona dark chocolate shell was thin and crispy, giving a satisfying crunch as we bit into it.＊Turkish Coffee & Donut Twist Soft ServeI was not the only person who was brave enough to order coffee soft serve at late night, as I kept seeing people holding the coffee/donut twist.The Turkish coffee tasted so unique that it didn’t taste like any other regular coffee soft serve. It captured a strong and robust flavor. While the donut side was sweeter and helped mellow out the intensity from the coffee.“
“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!!“
“I’ve been coming here before class and every staff member is SO NICE. It’s refreshing to see service employees super sweet despite being in a rush, only one person working, etc. Food always is good and my smoothie is perfect. Will keep coming!“
“This is the best place I ever been in there is rolled ice cream, Boba tea and more. It’s awesome. You should go try it the reason why I need it has five stars because it’s amazing the food is great. The drinks are great everything about it is amazing you should try it. :)“
“I am a local and I visit Jimmy’s very often! Multiple times a week. The service is always fast and friendly. The water ice is some of the best in south Philly and the pizza pretzel is my go to for a quick bite to eat. I highly recommend jimmys water ice!!“
“This is the ONLY outside/drive up ice cream parlor that I know of that is open year-round, yes I said it - THEY ARE OPEN ALL YEAR LONG!!! This place has exceptional customer service (I have yet to come across an employee with a 'tude.) All the employees are friendly, professional, the service is fast and accurate, the prices are very affordable (they have something for any budget,) the atmosphere is fun n friendly (even the customers strike up conversations with each other.) I left here feeling nostalgic and full! lol Their portions are humongous. This place is a superb idea for a family friendly outing that is quick, affordable, fun, and memorable!Kid-friendliness: Kid and pet friendly“
“What a Gem!!! Everything was fantastic. But really sets the cafe apart from ALL others is the Barista. A true ambassador of the Nona and Pops but also of Termini. I wish I had asked her name. She is the epitome of customer service and quite evident she loves her job and her employer. Give her a big raise, elevate her within the company to customer service trainer for all of your new employees.“
“Friendly neighborhood water ice/ice cream stand. Homemade flavors are so much better than the chain flavors. Lots of toppings available including jimmies, yes I said jimmies not sprinkles!! ? They do all the usual ice cream treats; banana splits, sundaes, gelati, etc. They have puppy cups for your pooch too!“
“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!“
“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!!“
“Thanks to their Princeton location, I'm pretty familiar with the Yapple franchise, but now that one has opened up a lot closer to me, this has quickly become my favorite go-to froyo spot.But what sets this place apart is its unique and refreshing selection of flavors. It's a welcome departure from the overly sweet options at other frozen yogurt spots. Plus, the store is clean, well-lit, and spacious, creating a comfortable environment whether you want to enjoy your treat indoors or bask in the charming ambiance of Haddonfield outdoors.Speaking of Haddonfield, it's a picturesque town that blends the charm of a smaller-sized Princeton with a subtle beach town chill vibe. Parking can be tricky on the main street, but the good news is that plenty of side streets are easier to access. Parking is free after 6pm and on Saturdays and Sundays on those side streets.Sunday evening is my sweet spot when foot traffic winds down, and the dimly lit walkways create a cozy atmosphere. It's an ideal date spot, especially if you've just dined at one of the many restaurants within walking distance around the corner.Regarding flavors... the jasmine green tea stands out with just the right balance of subtle sweetness and that delicate jasmine undertone. However, be mindful if you're sensitive to caffeine, as it's made with real green tea powder. I adore mixing the mint with vanilla for a perfect harmony of sweetness and freshness. The sweetness level across most of their flavors is spot on, and the fresh toppings bar is packed with plenty of options to customize your creation.For the value-conscious, two average-sized cups of froyo usually cost about $12-13. Be sure to ask for a frequent shopper card to earn rewards on your purchases.“
“Old school Italian-American bakery. Tasty sweets, espresso, cakes and pies. Cannoli, of course! Had the red velvet cake and it was very good. Service was warm and welcoming. Open late! No gluten free options tonight (I asked). I didnt ask if they had dairy free or sugar free options, but... I really wouldn't expect them here. Very nice pricing! :) Tables available inside and outside.Dietary restrictions: No gluten free options (I asked).“
“Would have given 5 stars if the place was open until 10pm. I showed up at 9:39pm n they were closed. They normally are open on the weekends and MABY one day during the week! Besides inaccurate hours of operation, the service is superb, ice cream is amazing and not over priced and the waits never too long !! Highly recommend this spot for the great quality and quantity of the products!! Just make sure u call before the drive over, most times they r closed..“
“A small custard stand, but the custard is so nice and soft. Very tasty! Also, tried the strawberry/pineapple dole whip which was really good too (fyi it is not made the same way as the dole whip Disney makes). Will be dreaming of going there again someday (hopefully when it gets warmer out)! But I will say that I am really happy it can stay open through the winter too. :) I wish there were some tables to sit at, but since their space is limited it is more like a grab and go type place.“
“Very fast and SO good. I ordered a very simple mix so that I could actually taste the ice cream base. My boyfriend and I LOVED IT. We arrived during a time where it was VERY busy yet we ordered and had our ice cream in our hands within 5 min of walking thru the door. Awesome first experience with rolled ice cream!“
“Franklin's Fountain is fantastic! Tried their peanut butter ice cream on a cone – creamy and bursting with flavor. And the chocolate chip ice cream with extra brownie bits? Insanely good! Initially thought it was pricey, but totally worth every cent for these incredible flavors. Ice cream lovers, you've gotta check this place out!“
“A tiny shop in a quaint neighborhood, my children, my mom and I loved this spot. The prices were reasonable, the man behind the counter was kind. He gave me an extra scoop of water ice because he hadn't heard me ask for two flavors on my gelati. I got passion fruit and peach, my mom got black raspberry, the kids got blueberry and lemon. We will go back!“
“Delicious ice cream! Lots of flavors, including seasonal flavors and a few sherbets. You can get scoops (the stiffer type of ice cream) or soft ice cream, on a cone or in a cup, and there are also lots of toppings to choose from. My favorite is the mint chocolate chip!“
“NO, there's no gelato here. Nice place, but drove all the way into center city only to be told by the employee that they did not gelato... only ice cream. I saw a few reviews about gelato... that's not the case at this creamery. Only ice cream.“
“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!! ?“
“My buddy told me about this place. I was in the area so figured I’d stop in.It’s a very tiny storefront, however it’s not out of the ordinary for places like this, especially in the city on a Main Street to be much bigger if at all. It has all that you need. I believe it had a wooden bench in there to sit and eat at. As well as 2 or 3 Bar-top kind of tables. Seating capacity is probably 8-10 at most.I can’t speak for anyone but one could only assume that most people are To-go’ing instead of dining in. However, it’s definitely an option. I sure did. I like the small quaint atmosphere. I enjoyed looking at the pictures on the wall, checking out the ice cream/milkshake flavors.Very unique place.Has your average milkshake flavored options, but also has some that you wouldn’t find in many other places. #supportsmallbusinesses“
“So I’ve been wanting to try Puddin Palace since I lived in oaklyn and they first opened, finally went and got ahold of some Puddin! The staff was so nice and helpful! Explained every flavor in detail and told us the purchase options. We left with an extremely well put together full pan and it’s almost like art when you buy it. I will be coming back even more excited then the first time!!!“
“Willkay’s is the best water ice and ice cream spot ever! My family and I come all the way from South Jersey just to get some delicious desserts from them all of the time. The owner and staff are very friendly, kind and pleasant to every customer. They always make us feel like family when we come visit from out of town. Their establishment is very clean and their food and water ice/ice cream are always fresh and delicious. They’re the best hands down! You definitely gotta visit try them whenever you are in the area.“
“We LOVE Anthony's, we live in town amd can walk there. They are always so nice, know our kids by name and have watched our family grow. Ms. Aaliyah the owner is a true gem. Happy to support a small business and highly reccomemnd stopping by.“
“Umm delicious, perfect after a stop at the winery next door. Such a cute shop and kind owner, tried the mango and vanilla, it's nice that they can put two flavors in one cup! Support local, these shops really adds charm to the neighborhood.“
“Saps produce shack is the best place to go for lunch hands down! They have a great salad bar with just about everything you could want on your salad plus macaroni salad, potato salad, pasta salad, just to name a few. They have sandwiches too and the chicken cutlet and hoagies are delicious. I never tried them but they sell homemade cookies and pastries and of course produce too! I go at least twice a week for the salad bar!“
“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!“
“Since last year, Primo has been the love of mine and my sister's lives. From the Cookie Monster, a delicious hard serve flavor, to the Arctic Swirls, Primo Water Ice is always there. There are a plethora of topping choices, let alone types of cones! And while at some parts of the year it may be difficult for them to find work, the employee or employees that is/are there work vigorously, all while serving with a smile on their faces. For example, one time I entered with a large group of 7 or 8 people. One by one, the worker asked us what we wanted and got it to us in a timely matter. Along with this, while Primo's may appear small, there is actually an entire dining room in the back for people to sit and enjoy their delicious water ice or ice cream cones. And let's not forget the very low prices, affordable for most teenagers and adults alike. So with all of these delightful qualities, why wouldn't this seem like paradise? Next time you are craving a sweet treat, I would definitely recommend popping in.“
“Nice little ice cream shop that was really popular when we popped in on a weekend afternoon. Line moved quickly and we got to ordering. They had some unique flavors that definitely held up against some of the best ice cream I've had, including their curiously similarly named competitor. Portions were enormous! You definitely got your money's worth. Friendly service too.“
“I go here regularly with my friends, family, and dog and have always had a wonderful time. Best ice cream I’ve ever had, and I love the variety in flavors! Their chocolate ice cream is to die for. Adorable window and outside bench seating as well!Dietary restrictions: Dairy and gluten free“
“Been going here since I was a kid and thought it was "Donald Berts" lol. The prices have definitely gone up up up as the years have gone by!! But still a good spot to take the kiddos(and adults!) for evening ice cream or cheese fries!“
“I had an outdoor event (August 2023) in the park for approximately 400-500 individuals. I had Water Ice & Funnel Cake. The Funnel Cake was delicious! Good choice of flavors for Water Ice and the staff & service was great! Would definitely recommend Karnival Foods for your next event!“
“Truly delicious cookies- most are crispy on the outside and a bit soft on the inside. The service is fast and friendly- using the app makes it even more streamlined. The pretty pink packaging makes for the cutest gift and they are a crown pleaser!“
“I LOVE this place! I have been coming here since I was in high school in the early 2000s and their products NEVER disappoint! The lines get very long in the summer but it is totally worth it. The parking can get rough so I would definitely carpool.“
“We take the Grandkids here when they're being good ;-) . With so many flavors of ice cream and water ice to choose from, Nana and PopPop are happy to take them here. Prices are where they should be, service is quick and attentive, yet always smiling and eager to fabricate whatever strange combination of ice cream the kids invent in their heads, and ALWAYS a cherry on top. Picnic table seating, under cover, is always entertaining to "eating in" customers, what with the big screen TV, mounted high for all 5 tables to see while they enjoy their wonderful treats. Go here. You won't be disappointed.“
