33 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mantua

“Sweet workers and good ice cream, gotta appreciate that this ice cream shop allows for credit card transactions as the one down the street does not! My only complaint was that I asked for jimmies and I watched the girl take my ice cream to the drawer, pick up only a spoon full of Jimmie’s and pour it on. Lucky I didn’t call the cops because I was robbed of enjoying my ice cream!“

“If you are looking for the best of the best when it comes to local ice cream shop, look no further. This local dive is happening and for good cause. The ice cream comes out in heaping proportions, for good prices and in many different ways. The only point of cautions I share are that you may be in for a bit of a wait on a busy (hot) day and always bring cash as this establishment only accepts cash.“

“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.“

“Lattiria is one of the best hard serve ice cream places I've ever been to. last summer me and my family went at least two times a week and they always have delicious flavors. The service is amazing the employees are very kind and quick. they have music playing a great place to meet up with friends. It is pricey but TOTALLY worth it.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“it is a very popular place. It has outdoor seating. Everything is outdoor it's always crowded. The service is pretty quick not only do they have ice cream they have food. They only have soft serve but it's a great place to hang out with your friends.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“This is hands down our favorite ice cream place! There are a ton of flavor options, plenty of seating, a bathroom available for patrons, it's always clean, there's a chalkboard wall for the kids, and the staff is fantastic! We've stopped going anywhere else!“

“So good! The young ladies who took our orders and made our ice cream were so patient and nice, on 3/19/23 around 7:30pm (didn’t get their names lol) It was our first time at Cabana. I got a sweetish fish gelati and my boyfriend got a strawberry lemonade water ice. So good and not too sweet! We will be back again :D“

“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!“

“This place makes the most scrumptious, most drool-worthy, fudgy, delicious brownie sundaes in the world. My go-to is a brownie sundae with vanilla custard and strawberries on top. The strawberries are sweet and fresh, NOT MUSHY, and the brownies are incredibly hot and fudgy and soft, like they just came out of the oven. This place also does NOT skimp on the brownies OR the hot fudge. In fact, there’s almost TOO MUCH brownie. That’s how delicious this thing is. This place is a 1000/5 but unfortunately I can only give it a 5.“

“Stopped here after work several times this summer- was the perfect place to introduce a friend to Philly's water ice for the first time. I go for the classic mango and vanilla soft serve combo, but also enjoy some of their other flavors. Quick service, cheap and really tasty!!“

“I honestly go out of my way to come to Stio’s and whenever possible. The different flavors of water ice and ice cream are not only fantastic, but unique as well. From ice cream and water ice made on site , to ice cream that they personally select from other small creators, you can’t go wrong with their options (Caramel sea salt truffle is a personal favorite). Their portions are fantastic and worth every penny, plus their sundaes are out of this world! I can’t recommend Stio’s highly enough.“

“I am so surprised at the low number of reviews for the Water Ice Station. It is an absolute staple here in Pitman. The water ice menu rotates flavors, but they almost always have vanilla, chocolate, cherry, and lemon. My personal favorites are the strawberry lemonade and the mango. They have soft-serve and hand-scooped ice cream as well. Pro-tip a gelati is the best of both worlds with any flavor water ice and any flavor ice cream you want. The owners are also so kind and the workers are usually just as kind local teens. Truly the best water ice anywhere close and great service.“

“Ordered 2 Sundaes, a Razzle & 2 Ice Cream Cupcakes. Everything was great. So good that my fiancé convinced me to order dessert for the family again, just a week later.They even threw in a free slice of cake with my order, which was really appreciated. It's a great way to hook new customers and keep them coming back. I know we will be.“

“Omg!!!! I found this place by accident today. Walker over to it from the far side of the lot expecting to see a pizza place. Walker inside and it literally can't get anymore basic. A few tables and folding chairs. Over the place was clean and the bathroom was very clean. Now for the important part. They served me up the best chorizo tacos I have ever had! Good authentic Mexican tacos served with radish I put some of their house made hot sauce on the tacos and it was heaven. This is one of the hidden gems that you rarely find. I'll be back for sure !!!! I should also mention the service was great the nice lady behind the counter was very pleasant.“

“So glad I stopped here! It is such a a cute, little candy and ice cream shop. It's in the heart of Mullica Hill ( a fun place to walk around and explore)A small seat area is available inside with porch seating and an outside sitting area also. The staff were super friendly! I take my ice cream seriously lol and so do they. The ice cream is homemade and super delicious! I usually get soft serve but opted for hard ice creamBecause it was homemade. It did not disappoint! The cherry vanilla had good vanilla flavor with big pieces of real cherries. The Andes Mint was amazing-chocolate mint ice cream with pieces of chocolate! I was in chocolate heaven And they did a pup cup with ice cream and whipped cream!“

“Rita's Water Ice is always perfect on those hot days. Swedish Fish is my go to. If they don't have that it's Blue Raspberry fo sho. Coming in 3rd place is Mango. The rest of them ya'll can have. Love Rita's, if it wasn't 8am I'd go there now.“

“Very good homemade ice cream but a bit expensive. They have flavored soft serve ice cream. I had peach and it was very good. As I said they make their own ice cream. You can get cones, sundaes, shakes, and of course a Banana Split..Yum it is worth the extra money ????“

“I recently discovered this ice cream shop,CJ’S waterice & ice cream ? and it has quickly become my favorite. The flavors are rich and indulgent, and the texture is incredibly smooth. They also have a great pizza ? pretzels and funnel cake and fried Oreo , which is a huge plus. The shop itself is clean and inviting, and the prices are reasonable. It's the perfect spot to satisfy your ice cream cravings . ? ?“

“Poppy branch troll love froyo except it made poppy troll poo. But thats fine she's good now. Chocolate yogurt always kind of tastes like mint. Love that this place genuinely is a time capsule poppy and branch enter and it is immediately 2014; always playing ratatouille for some reason...trolls don't mind tho...“

“Every time I have a cherry water ice with vanilla custard, I reminisce. It has been in my life for over 25 years, and it tastes the same since the first one way back when. These bad boys are the signature boop bop straight from pound town in my eyes. You must get the pretzel too especially if your from the Philadelphia area.“
