The water ice is AMAZING. The fruit flavors really taste like the fruit not artificial flavorings. Get the mango if you love mango fruit. Pineapple was my second favorite.You can get the water ice, ice cream, or gelati. The prices are very reasonable too — they’re not gonna charge you $5 for a scoop of ice cream. Do yourself a favor and go here for dessert!
We were in Philly on Sunday, and stopped here to get a cold, wet treat. Their water ice is really good - made with fresh fruit. Within our group, we had their blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, and mango. All were really delicious, and you could taste the fresh fruit in each. Will definitely be returning to this little gem of a find.
Good water ice. Quite refreshing for a summer night. Original flavors are cherry, chocolate, lemon, and pineapple. Flavors taste a bit artificial.The bar is set by lemon ice king of corona in nyc. While these are slightly different (looser and more watery, duh), they are clearly not as good.Excellent pricing and good portions. Ability to mix flavors is appreciated.
Who would have thought chocolate water ice could be so perfect? Loved it so much we tried small cups of all four flavors! Incredible prices, too!
Cheap, quick, and refreshing. $2 for a small cup (12oz?) and $4 for a pint of water ice.I had low expectations, but left really genuinely enjoying it. Big hit with peoples kids and the wife. Highly recommended
Originally thought we'd try a popular chain ice shop but stumbled across John's and OMG I'm so glad we did!!! Pineapple was my absolute favorite...Not overly sweet but packed with so much flavor! Everyone that works there is SO NICE!
Great seasonal flavors, regular ones, and the customer service never disappoints. Don’t worry about the line either…it moves fast. Cash only but they do take Venmo! Try the Gelati or the Waffle Cones! There are no wrong choices here.
Yummy lemon is my fave! It's simple but has lemon bits in it, which I love. I've been coming to this same water ice store since middle school. Same consistent flavor and service. Thumbs up to both!
Amazing water ice. Best in the city. I wish they had more flavors sometimes. Would love a rootbeer water ice! Pretty please!
Very limited selection of flavors. It turns out the reason is because the limited flavors are AWESOME! some of the best tasting water ice you will ever have. BTW the staff is as good as the flavors. I've only been there twice, but both times it was a terrific experience. Just to note, this is a take out place. Similar to a stand. Get your ice and enjoy the nice area of south Philly, or take it to go.
