Manager was really rude! They were close to closing and he was rushing me didn’t want to serve me a cone only cups. Made a lot of rude hand gestures. Worst experience I had in a while I Will never come here again!!

To be very clear, I am unable to leave my honest review due to TripAdvisors censorship. Sadly we live in a time that you never know if you are getting an honest review or not. Here is what I will tell you, that hopefully I’m allowed to tell you…I will never return to this ice cream place, in addition to the exorbitant unrealistic prices my family was made to feel unwelcome. The servers were rude and didn’t wear gloves when handling food and money. After the $54 bill for 3 items, one of which was not correct, we were left feeling empty in both our pocketbooks and our bellies. I will not be returning to this place ever again.

If you’re looking for an old school ice cream place, you have to check out Franklin! We had dinner around the area and our daughter wanted ice cream. We stumbled upon this cool location, the sundae in a take out Chinese container.. so smart! The idea cream was amazing! Right now they’re not seating inside so it’s take out only but well worth a visit.

I do love this place. I had the college ice sundae with rocky road and almonds and they're not too sweet, which is honestly great to just keep eating and eating until I finished the entire Chinese to-go box.

They have ruined any other ice cream sandwiches ??? The snicker doodle ice cream sandwich is 10 bucks and worth every penny! We are Californians out of our warm element in cold Philly but that didn’t stop my husband from trying it. No regrets I want to go back just for one lol

Very good Ice cream. Got it quick and easy. Alot of flavors

Ice cream was decent (we got butter pecan) but $9 for a double scoop?!? Talk about a tourist trap. Definitely not worth it. The Chinese takeout containers they put the ice cream in are cute, but they cause a HUGE mess. Within minutes the ice cream starts melting out the sides of the containers and all over your hands. So we ended up tossing 75% of our $9 in the trash and calling it a loss. It's not worth the complications of trying to eat it quickly enough or the price for decent ice cream.

Amazing ice cream. Huge lines. Worth the wait. Also give generous portions. Definitely a local gem.

I always get FROZEN CUSTARD here!!

Pricy, but a fun stop to make your own ice cream bar with the variety of toppings. I would definitely come back.
