Love this place. This place gives you that 70’s experience of an icecream parlor. They serve some of the best homemade ice cream’s in this area. They have a variety of different flavors and options to choose from including brownie sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, and shakes. This place is located right in front of Penn’s landing. Parking is a little problem in this area unless you find meter parking. Definitely worth a try.
Ive been here a number of times in the past few years. Its really cute and old timey like the area surrounding. Its is definitely a really great ice cream spot in phillyThey are really creative with the frozen snacks and have many good flavors. I love that it is home made and usually not extremely busy.Prices are kinda pricey, but it is totally worth it.
Very good! Lived up to the hype. Homemade ice cream, a lot of different flavors. Store is tight and I think they changed the cash only rule they were taking credit card when we were there. The peanut butter ice cream was really good as was the vegan chocolate which was coconut cream based and not bad for being vegan. Small cone was $7 which is 1 scoop medium gets you 2 for $10 honestly the small is a pretty big scoop definitely enough to fill most people.
Amazing atmosphere and some of the best homemade ice cream I've ever had. If not the best no worst then second. The old world charm makes it even better. The whip cream was homemade as well......... OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Highly recommend going there and worth the drive?
Best ice cream ever. Just got. Not too sweet and so creamy - we enjoyed the peach, coconut and mint chocolate chip flavors. All delicious!
The Franklin Fountain is a Philly must do. The custard is the best in Philly and this tiny ice cream shoppe is adorable with old fashioned soda shoppe vibes. It’s practically impossible to park in front of the shoppe on Market Street but a few trips around the block may bring you luck.
Outstanding ice cream. Shame there is no indoor seating. Friendly vibe and lots of choice of flavours, sundaes and cones.
This was at the top of my list! I really wanted to try the traditional root beer float. I’m usually an ice cream only person, but I couldn’t imagine not trying the soda, since it’s basically an homage to the old soda shops! I must say I wasn’t left dissatisfied at all. Usually with root beer floats you end up eating all the ice cream and then drinking some of the pop, but I actually had the opposite experience because the soda was so flavorful and refreshing? (It was strangely very drinkable) Anyways I was super glad I tried it and the ice cream was super good too! My friend got the banana ice cream and it was SO good! We also tried their ice cream cookie sandwich and it was AMAZING. The cookie was soft and chewy and definitely one of those desserts you have to eat right away before it gets too hard. ( I recommend sharing it) The prices were a little pricey, but I think it was definitely worth it!
We had an awesome time at Franklin Fountain today! We had a strobarry ice cream and orange ice cream soda. Both were delicious! If you are new in town definitely check it out...you won't be disappointed!!
They have such a great variety of flavors to choose from! This place is definitely worth a stop. No indoor seating for now so be prepared to take it on the go.
