Visitors and newbies might be surprised at the sheer number of all-year-round ice cream options in Philadelphia. But, once known as the nation’s ice cream capital, you can sample a wide variety of frozen treats across the city, from creamy soft serves to rich gelatos and over-the-top sundaes. While you really can’t go wrong with any of them, here are the Philly ice cream destinations worth checking out.
Philly is also home to the iconic frozen treat called water ice (or wooder ice, as it’s pronounced locally), which has its own map.
What’s changed in this update: We’ve added Malai, Small Oven Pastry Shop, and Matcha Cafe Maiko, and said goodbye to the Chilly Banana, Zsa’s, and Float Dreamery.
