We just realized they serve breakfast and lunch here! Love all the outdoor seating especially for ice cream season. It was too cold so everyone was inside which made it a bit crowded and loud but the food was good. My mom ordered the veggie omelette and. That was the only thing that was not good. I mean who puts carrots and zucchini as the vegetables in an omelette. It was pretty terrible. I wish she had asked what vegetables they were going to use before ordering. read more

This was our first visit here and this is a review on their ice cream. The place also serves up breakfast and lunch. Their ice cream comes from Leiby's Dairy and they probably had around 20 flavors. You can also get shakes and sundaes as well. My son went with a butterscotch shake, which had a nice consistency--not too thick and not too thin. I went with Cookies & Cream. There's seating inside as well as plenty of seating outside on picnic tables. Looks like they periodically do a movie night as we saw that advertised while we were there. Glad we found this place and will definitely be back. read more

*review for restaurant only* Came around 11 on a Sunday. The restaurant wasn't too full. Ordered soup and a sandwich. Soup took about 10 minutes and the sandwich took 30. The service was friendly, but the speed left something to be desired. When I inquired about if it's normally that long of a wait for food, the cashier said they just started doing DoorDash orders, so that was what the wait was for. The turkey Rachel was good too. read more

Went here with my dad a few months ago. We were going to get ice cream and I did not expect to have some of the best strawberry ice cream in all of America. The staff was extremely nice, and they even have a little picnic area to eat. Definitely recommend this, especially the strawberry ice cream. read more

Don't miss out! Coventry has ice cream and farm fresh goodies! They have an extensive list of ice cream flavors and a cute farm stand outside. We picked up some onions and a bunch of kale on our way out. Prices are reasonable and the staff were well prepared for a rush of customers. Also, look at this view! Super cute stop and perfect after a day at French Creek State Park. read more

Delicious ice cream! I survived Death by Chocolate, my companion loved his Butter pecan. How great this place is open til 10 on a Saturday night! We were traveling through. Stayed at a motel, went to the launder and then thought about ice cream. A great benefit of being an Ag campus! We were mystified by the arrangement of pay here, get your ice cream there, with many cashiers and servers how do they know the person has paid before they hand over the goods? Midwestern honesty?! read more

I have been getting ice cream here for a long time ! Unfortunately it's not the same with the new owners ! I was there in early April looking to purchase ice cream1/2 gallons and I was told I could order them and it takes about three or four days that's wonderful! I paid and had to wait over a week , not that bad so I ordered the same ice cream again and paid in advance and was told they would call when it comes in ! I was there May 16 th today is May 26 th I received a call on the 27 th and I went over and got the ice cream . No sorry it took so long !! Very rude the ice cream is very over priced !!! I will not be going back !! Nor will my friends and family. read more

Amazing food , they always exceed my expectations ! The staff goes above and beyond and beyond

Expensive, food is only the best in town since it is only 1 of a few in town, but it is horrible,not cooked enough, cold and greasy. Server had an attitude like we were bothering her. The ice cream is too expensive and not all that good. Place is overrated. read more

Good place for breakfast and ice cream. The staff is helpful and friendly. read more

Food got even more expensive lately I paid $10 for a sandwich. Isn't a spot I can go to frequently anymore

If you want a banana split that delivers on fantastic ice cream, beautiful composition and LOTS of it. This is the place to go. I got mine with all vanilla ice cream, strawberry topping (with BIG pieces of strawberry,) hot fudge instead of chocolate syrup, and no pineapples. Phenomenal!! Bravo on the generous amount of whipped cream and a cherry on each peak! Dusted with chopped peanuts. All at under $7. read more

We have been coming here for years but the food quality has dropped and the service for ice cream is awful. The young kids don't talk to you at all and they don't know what's in the ice cream when asked every time we come is disappointing I know there are new owners but they need to be here until business is the way it should be. read more

Pottstown, Pa., is an interesting old city. We dropped into it late in the afternoon after a day in the heat of French Creek State Park and Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. I was feeling the effects of the 90F temp, and needed hydration and a little nourishment. First choice was a tour of Yuengling Brewery, but I had confused Pottsville with Pottstown, and would have been too late anyway. (Should have looked further and found Sly Fox Brewery, but that will have to wait.) Second choice was to find the nearest dairy bar and settle in for some fresh cool creamy ice cream and a burger. Yelp Search found Coventry Parlor at Laurel Locks, not 10 minutes away from Main Street. Not too many reviews, but a little more pioneering today wouldn't hurt. Actually in Coventry Township, the Laurel Locks refer to both the canal built there to connect with the Schuylkill River canal system, and the large farm that took root there in the early 18th Century. Another little remembered historic fact was that this area was the home of the a small religious sect called the Stubblebines, whose moral code allowed nudity and cohabitation; giving this locale the name, "Free Love Valley," in the early 19th Century. It all got out of control, with murder and jealousy rampant. The group died out by the mid 1800's, when self- proclaimed prophet, Hannah Williamson, caught the last wagon train out of town heading west. So, we settled on a couple of burgers and split a Cashew Raspberry Shake. The shake was thick with nuts and ice cream, and was quite refreshingly creamy sweet. The burgers were something else. Past well done, they were crunchy and almost beyond redemption. I was too weary to bring it to the server's attention. It came with store bought bun, cheap chips (not even Herr's), and a soft pickle. If not for affording the opportunity to learn about the fascinating history of this community, I would have departed disappointed by the grub here. I just won't look past the front retail ice cream shop next time, should that come to pass. read more

Coventry Parlor - Burnt Burger - Bakeries Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Great food and service, pancakes great omelettes, great . food was so good we went for breakfast Friday and Saturday. New ownership I think still great staff and owners, go , go , we'll go back again, they do breakfast and lunch read more

We tried out the breakfast here the other day. I can't comment on the ice cream but the breakfast was a bit disappointing. The omelet was ok. It has a good portion of veggies and tasted fine. The cream chipped beef was too heavy on the flour. It's taste was a bit off and the color was slightly grey. The LBE breakfast came with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. The pancakes were very dense and tasted like they didn't mix the batter correctly. Everything else was ok. The server was a young girl and was very pleasant. Overall it wasn't horrible but neither great. I will try it again for the ice cream which looked wonderful but not for the breakfast. read more

5th stop on #PursueYourScoops Trail. Ice cream shoppe attached to restaurant attached to attached to massive farm. We had a small scoop of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. Good ice cream, but just basic flavors (though they had 30 flavors). read more

I am pretty sure that I was not served because I was black in this parlor. It was so sad because I usually stop here whenever I'm in town. I just left the parlor after I was in line and another couple standing behind me and was served first. I said hi as soon as I seen it and the boy who serving the people behind me just looked at me and kept working with them. He hadn't even scooped anything and could have easily let them know I was there first. I was way in front of them and the couple knew I was there first and just completely allowed it. I was baffled because there were multiple people there walking around and not serving anyone else while working but nobody acknowledged me or tried to help. Eventually a girl came over but I was so upset I left. It is sad that in 2021 I can still get treated like that. I was the only black face in and out of the parlor and I knew that I couldn't get upset there because I would be an angry black girl. Micro aggressions like this happen every day. I can't believe that I was purposely ignored by all of the staff in there except the one girl after speaking out and I received not one apology. I will never go there again. I recommend all people who are mistreated at a business to not give them your hard earned dollars. read more

1sr time, ice cream was great, the helpers were friendly,nice seating outside. Prices were not crazy like other establishments.

The sugar cookies are amazing! Thin and crispy and baked to perfection. Staff was friendly and efficient. Chocolate malt was highly praised. Generous portion for even a "small" scoop. read more

Coventry Parlor - Bakeries Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

My mom and I have been bringing my kids here the past 6+ years without issue for brunch. Today on our way out we were told by a waitress- not an owner or management- that my ONE YEAR OLD needs to practice her indoor voice because customers complained about her and how loud she was. My daughter was behaved like any other day we come to eat there. Needless to say we didn't pay to eat there as a family to appease other strangers. I also invite anyone to go try to reason with a one year old and see how far you get. If you hate kids don't go eat at a seat yourself establishment that serves ice cream to- you guessed it- KIDS and families. We will be sure to no longer give our business and express to others children are apparently not tolerated to eat there. Unprofessional. read more

Great ice cream parlor that ALSO has a dining area with great sandwiches, hoagies and burgers. Pros: 1. Yummy food. I had the Turkey Rachel (turkey Ruben) 2. Reasonably priced $10 for sandwich, chips and a Coke. 3. Ample parking 4. The Ice cream looks amazing. (I was too full to try any) 5. Family run (super nice people) Cons: 1. New 2. You have drive past the desolate Coventry Mall read more

Love going to Coventry Parlor. Breakfast and lunch is very good. Have been going here for several years and always enjoy the friendly staff and owners. Also the ice cream is delicious as well. read more

Awesome ice cream! I dont understand how it only had 3.5 stars. Fast service. Nothing fancy but great place to sit by the cornfield at a picnic table. read more

We love this little place which happens to be a quick 2 minute drive from our house! :) The outdoor seating is awesome in nicer/warmer weather and the indoor seating is great any time of year! The parlor has expanded their menu to include far more than just awesome ice cream and you can get breakfast, lunch, or dinner items whenever you visit. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly & fun! I also love that we're supporting a small, local, business owned by a great family whenever we choose to visit the parlor. Check it out, you won't be sorry you did! read more

It was only about a year ago that I discovered the Coventry Parlor was also a great breakfast place. I've been there many times for breakfast (occasionally lunch) and have found the meals to be great and affordable each time. They have a nice selection of specials that are changing regularly as well which keeps things interesting. I like that it's small and off the beaten path but if they keep up the good service and food, they are going to get busier! If you want a solid meal for a small price, this is your spot. read more

Employees not wearing masks. And our server put one on to come to our table with nose sticking out. Employee walked through dining room no mask. Bottles of windex on the cleaning cart for table wiping. Last time I checked windex wasn't a disinfectant. This was our favorite place. No more. Paid for drinks and left read more

My husband and I had the Sunday with strawberry ice cream. It was pretty good! We will definitely come back soon!

Coventry Parlor - I've Cream! - Bakeries Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

The ice cream is rather good and the flavor assortment is pretty standard. We stopped here to try it after a few years and it was busy. We got to the counter and were looked over for 4 customers behind us. We actually had to say "hey, we are next". The prices are actually fare and it would be interesting to try their food but the counter service needs work. I'll stick to Soloman"s Dairy read more

Super cute little ice cream parlor. I enjoyed the large selection of flavors. I found the portion size to be a little small but the taste of the ice cream was great !!! read more

Place is okay for ice cream but don't expect much for lunch. Drinking out of styrofoam cups while dining in is not right. Food is sub par to say the least. Only giving it 3 stars because of the ice cream. read more

The so called sundae I got was a scoop of icecream somewhere hidden in a mountain of whip cream and a pool of caramel syrup.... All I tasted was caramel syrup. Only reason for two star is the actual icecream is good. read more

A very good selection of ice creams. Some tables and chairs inside. Overall, a comfortable place. Parking is extensive. To my knowledge, best place for hand dipped ice cream in Pottstown area. read more
