They made a new post on how they are sorry etc but then locked the comments out because they were getting torn apart. Look at the review about how they were going to stiff a applicant after working for 7 hours the only reason they gave in is because of the public backlash. They definitely are all for exploiting workers for free labor.

The owner Cristina Torres commits wage theft to people who are “trying out” then refuses to pay them. She was caught and is now back peddling to save face but who knows how many young workers she’s stolen from so far.

Does not pay employees. Would not recommend.

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!

Great ice cream. Quick service on a cold Fridsy night. Good assortment of flavors

Really disappointed with the flavors under new management. I got a pint of Christine's Cravings today and it tastes like a completely different ice cream. There are no longer any chunks of cookies mixed throughout which was the best part. I loved how Weckerly's ice cream used to be subtly sweet compared to all the other neighborhood ice cream shops, but now it just tastes the same or worse, almost sickly sweet. Really sad to see this place go downhill

Small ice cream shop with a couple of seats. Didn't really give an ice cream shop vibe except for the steel but closed ice cream fridge. Purchased the turtle power ice cream sandwich. The owner kindly cut the sandwich in half for us to share. The caramel and butter pecan mixed so well with the ice cream, forming a delicious treat

Stop by for Yelp Elite event. I was little bit early on Saturday morning before 12 but they still offered me the ice cream. I chose the Strawberry Shortcake and it was delicious. I was picking up my daughter to come home for the weekend. We both enjoyed the ice cream!

This cute ice cream place in fishtown is located right on the main strip. The place is really tiny. There are a couple of bar seats if you did want a place to plop up. The place has the best ice cream bars I've ever had in the city. The top crust of ice cream was pretty thick and fresh. It wasn't hard to chew like some of the store bought ice cream bars. I ended up getting the Turtle Power. It was very tasty and fresh ice cream layer in the middle. I really like the chocolate crumbles on this sandwich.
I've hired Weckerlys several times for catering events and their execution is simply flawless. Not only is their staff friendly and engaging, they have a tremendous product. All of their dairy is sourced locally and they make their ice cream sandwiches from scratch. Great flavor combos! Highly recommend :)

Hands-down, the best ice cream sandwiches we have EVER had. Creative flavors, delicious creamy ice cream and wonderful cookie tops and bottoms. This is a destination treat and we will absolutely be back for more.

Best. Ice Cream. I've. Ever. Had.I have yet to try the ice cream sandwiches, but the ice cream is out of this world. The hot fudge is outstanding. So many different flavors every time we go, they are always changing it up. If you're in the area, it's a must stop!

Came here for dessert after dinner with a friend and it was amazing. Definitely recommend their most popular ice cream sandwich (Black and White), but also try their Strawberry Lemon Matcha. Also very friendly gentlemen who offered to cut the sandwiches in half so my friend and I could share. I’ll definitely be back.
