Froze, pina colada, mango, and cookies and cream
Payal P.

So many interesting flavors of gelato and sorbet. I have to admit that the fruit flavors of sorbet were really good. The Mango was ultimately the best (they definitely used fresh pulp). The next flavor for the sorbet would be the pina colada (it tasted very accurate). The gelato is typically my favorite but this didn't taste like gelato. Usually gelato is thick but this was more lighter (maybe that is why it is named cloud cups?). I had the cookies and creme gelato. I really liked the Oreos in it. I think it was really cool they offered a flight option (4 scoops).

Had a taste for some dessert, so I took a ride to Cloud Cups located in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. The place was somewhat dingy looking. It needed to be brighter and cleaner to me. It wasn't filthy dirty, but it needed a bit more sprucing up. The young man behind the counter gave me a run down if all the flavors of the week. I decided to go with a scoop of Blood Orange and a scoop of Apple Juice with a waffle cone. The sorbet was very good, sweet, and smooth. Almost like a Philly water ice, with more consistency. I wished there were regular spoons instead of the tasting sample spoons. Also, it was very hot inside. The air was not on while I was inside. Although I like the creativity of the different flavors of the week and for the seasons, I am not sure this will be a place I will frequent often.

New location that just opened last week. They have a cute little ice cream stand inside of pizza brain. From their Instagram it looks like they have rotating flavors so check their page to see what is available! I tried the blueberry mascarpone, Nutella, red velvet cheesecake and mango sherbet. Out of these my favorites were the Nutella and mango. Plenty of seating inside and some benches outside as well. Make sure to stop next door and grab a slice or pie!

Pineapple grape, orange strawberry lemonade, limoncello
Binh L.

Good bye to old Baby's and say hello to Cloud Cups. This small business is shaking up the local ice cream / gelato scene! I would rank the quality of the flavor and the texture above Wecklerys and below Jenni's. The service is nothing but awesome and the vibes are great inside Pizza Brain. I had the pineapple grape which is more pineapple than grape but I think masterfully balances sweet and tart for a refreshing sorbet. If you want a mind boggling creamy and tart flavor - you need to get the limoncello! I have no idea how they pull it off without the creaminess cutting into the tartness. Well rounded indeed. The orange strawberry lemonade was also good but less bold in flavor than the other two so hard for me to compare. Get some pizza and order some scoops - isn't that the summer dream?

Penn Center, Rittenhouse Square

It's definitely a toss up of a question, but I think Jeni's has the best ice cream in the city…read more With a basic vanilla that hits that hard, everything else is bound to be good. I've been a regular at Jeni's for some time now. This location operates on a smaller plot of land for sure, but the line moves quickly, because of a super helpful, super friendly set of staff. Note, there's a good chance that you'll be eating your ice cream outside on the side walk, but honestly it won't be too long before it's gone anyways. Flavors are reliable and on-point. Prices have fluctuated for sure over the years, but if you're coming with a group, I'd recommend the Story, to be able to try as many of their excellent flavors as you can. Plus, it's cheaper per scoop than all other options. My only knock is that they used to be way more adventurous in the past than they are now. I remember way back when they had an everything bagel flavor... that literally was spot on. Like so much so that it was not a good ice cream flavor because it was too accurate. Wish they had that same adventuring spirit again, but that's no knock to the quality of this local establishment.

Stopped in here on the walk back to a friend's apartment and got a few pints to take with us…read more Butter Cream Birthday Cake, Gren Mint Chip and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. All were great, but if I had to choose just one, it's the Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. OMG. The Bomb !!!

Old City

A famous ice cream shop in Center City East, reportedly still using traditional ice cream machines…read more Despite the lack of seating, it was always packed with customers. Green Tea: A typical American green tea flavor, which I think is similar to a cheap matcha flavor. At least for Chinese tastes, its biggest advantage is that it's not too sweet, and the flavor is relatively mild and fragrant. Especially when the shopkeeper seemed to be scooping ice cream away like it was free, I was even more glad I chose this flavor... Sea Salt Caramel: The flavor recommended by the staff. Objectively speaking, it was indeed good, with a distinct caramel aroma, but for me, who had already eaten ice cream that day, it was still too sweet. Coconut: Less sweet than Sea Salt Caramel, but also less milky. Relatively refreshing, but still quite sweet. The server offered samples warmly, which is definitely a plus.

A visit to Franklin Fountain is definitely a splurge -- but it's one of those Philly experiences…read moreyou just can't skip. From the moment you step inside, the specialty shakes and sundaes start calling your name. Everything on the menu sounds over-the-top in the best way possible. We landed on an apple pie shake, a peanut butter shake (PB ice cream, PB sauce, and fudgy brownie chunks), and the Lightning Rod sundae. Each treat was clearly crafted with care. You can tell time and quality go into every detail. I loved that they actually warmed the apple pie and the brownie chunks before blending them in. That extra touch elevated everything. The textures, the flavor balance, it wasn't just thrown together; it was thoughtfully built. Now let's be real: it's pricey. Three treats ran us about $50. But they're generous, rich, and indulgent. I was absolutely stuffed, fully sugared up and ready to power my way up the Rocky Steps afterward. The nostalgic charm is half the fun. From the old-fashioned decor to serving ice cream in those classic Chinese takeout-style containers, the whole place feels like stepping back in time. It adds to the experience in a big way. I personally appreciated that the sundae wasn't drowning in sauce -- it let the ice cream shine. That said, the PB shake was my clear favorite (even if I went way overboard on the brownie chunks). Bottom line: I highly recommend it. Just consider sharing to cut down on the cost and maybe to avoid the inevitable sugar crash. Totally worth it for the experience. Bonus Tip: Bring a receipt to Shane's Confectionary and get a 5% discount on your order (or vice versa).

This was the experience I was waiting to have the entire time I was in Philly!!! I can see why it…read morehave managed to last the rest of time. It is truly a classy experience. From the moment I walked in I felt as if I was VIP. The hostess, the manager, maitre dee (?), server, gelato server all the most please t and so willing to explain and re explain- whew and no ..... I did not have a reservation- and I went for lunch. Now on to the food!!! Dare I say it - dare I say it .... Freshly prepared- expertly delivered.... Impeccable taste!!! THE PASTA !!! I wish I could have ordered more- but I'm also on a fitness journey and literally can't - but I ordered the RAGU!!!! Baby !!! The flavors paired so well, not heavy, the meat so juicy not fatty. My partner got the Gnocchi- the creamy factor.... Just so delicious.... We chatted on the balcony just before the joint got busy on a Sunday and completed it all with their Caffee Aquila Espresso ..... it's my namesake and it's essential! Enjoy yelpers

Came here while traveling back East as I know L'Aquila really well and have many relatives there…read more This place offers authentic Italian regional fare with emphasis on quality imported ingredients and artisanal gelato. We had an excellent tagliere di salumi with the unique Parmesan gelato (can only compare it to a cheese flavoured cold butter!), panzanella salad, Cesarina (Caesar salad) pappardelle al ragù and GF penne alla carbonara. I would have preferred my pappardelle a bit more 'al dente' and for my taste it was a tad overcooked but maybe that's how they like it here in Philly or the guy at the stove overcooked it. (Hence the 4 stars instead of 5) Gelato afterwards was excellent. Really fabulous store selling all kinds of unique high end Italian gastronomical goods, making it also an excellent destination for gift shopping.
