    It's a Philly thing
    Monica P.

    Love this place, been going for years. I miss living in the area. They have the the best water ice in the area and they are dirt cheap.

    This use to be my regular water ice spot but this summer I've been venturing out. Its fine but nothing out of the ordinary. They have the typical flavors from "around the way". Today I went the crowd was a bit chaotic and rambunctious, nobody knew who was next, people are coming in from both doors, no order. The staff is fine, after giving my order the girl said IS THAT IT! Hmmm.. It just may be.

    Pretty good water ice and a wide selection of unique flavors. Reasonable pricing as well. Always a crowd...but worth the wait.

    A bit of a trek but IMHO it's better than both rita's and john's water ice--less sugary/sweet and fresher/fruitier!

    Lu & Aug's is such a special place. If not for the massive number of calories I consume every time…read moreI enter the place I would go there ALL THE TIME. Each visit is a discovery of new deliciousness and temptations for the tastebuds. Last time I went with a decaf affogato with vanilla softserve, the classic. SO GOOD! 5*/5. I've been dreaming about getting it again so finally went today. and was immediately distracted by their extensive hot chocolate and drinking chocolate menu which now I need to go back and try. While I thought I'd go for the classic decaf affogato, I was enticed by the espresso X version which includes a warm chocolate chip brownie, hot fudge, rice krispie sprinkles, and the decaf espresso (at my request), vanilla and chocolate twist (other options just vanilla or just chocolate) - for the same price as the classic. How could I resist? Amazing - 5*/5 I have yet to try something at Lu & Aug's that isn't outstanding.

    This place is so cayute! Helpful staff. They noticed we were first timers and they explained menu…read moreand how to order. They have good amount of pints 'to go' a TON of toppings and VEGAN OPTIONS!!! Open space, tables to sit down and eat. Clean large bathroom too. Now the dessert creations were impeccable. Fresh waffle cones and fresh toppings. I kept it simple with a pecan crumble on vegan vanilla. Wifey got a strawberry 'something' with pieces of cheesecake. When I tell you they are precise with the placement of the toppings to ensure you have even bites--- I mean it.

    This ice cream place is located right in the heart of Havertown. They seem to have a very popular…read moreselection of cookies. They don't really have a good display case for their ice cream. Honestly, I really wanted to try this place because of the old fashioned in the title of the store. I ended up getting an ice cream sandwich but telling them to put the chocolate chip cookies to the side. It was very quick service since there wasn't anyone really in the store. There were some seats around the store as well. For 3-4ish bucks, they gave a fair size of ice cream. I got the graham slam that tasted pretty basic. It didn't taste that fresh. The chocolate chips were pretty good. A small bit above average. I really liked how warm and crispy they were. Overall, great quantity for the price but average quality.

    Ok so little back story. When I was growing up Koffmeyer's used to be just a little cookie place…read moreoff of South Street on Second Street. The smell of those cookies baking would entice you every single time to stop in. You couldn't fight it, or I couldn't anyway! So when they closed up at that spot i thought they were gone forever. Then a few years ago something made me look them up and there they were!!! I met up with some friends at Koffmeyer's yesterday early afternoon (Saturday). They serve ice cream so I had a small cup of graham slam with hot caramel. It was wonderful! The service was wonderful and when I mentioned I wanted to purchase cookies as well the young lady helping me checked the timer on the oven to tell me when they'd be ready. After catching up with my friends and finishing our ice cream I ordered my cookies. I decided on a pound of chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle! I will share them, I swear!

    Sweet Indulgence has been popping up on my timeline since I have tried a few cinnamon roll places,…read moreso you know I wasn't going to pass this up. It's a small, black woman-owned bake shop. The cases were filled with all kinds of treats, but on Saturday and Sunday, that's when you can get the cinnamon rolls. They open at 11 am. I was 3rd in line, but I also pre-ordered. I got the 6 pack which allowed you to get 2 of each type of cinnamon roll. I wish the 4 pack allowed to you make a selection of what type you wanted. Maybe she could consider doing it. They were warm and smelled so good. Ok, so let's talk about the cinnamon rolls I got. "The Classic " was very good with the right amount of glaze, and tasted like homemade. 5/5 The "Sweet Potato" was the standout for me. It was flavorful with just the right amount of sweetness and freshness. The sweet potato complemented the bun and matched all of the each ingredient flavor for flavor. 5/5 The " Peach Cobbler" was the one that was my least favorite. Not because it wasn't good, but only because I prefer apple pie. But how you gonna go and not try them all? 4/5 Sweet indulgence is a special place. Everything is made fresh and loaded with a bunch of OOEY GOOEY GOODNESS!!!! Til we eat again...

    Been following Sweet Indulgence for a few months on IG and the pastries looked amazing!!! Their…read moreSunday hour's definitely lured me there, as it's not hard to find in West Philly, about 1-2 blocks off of Baltimore Ave. on 55th street. The establishment was very inviting, decked out in a pink and black decor, very cute, clean and bright!! The display cases were very clear and enticing, as there were soooo many cupcakes, slices of cake, pies, and cookies. There was a special on cupcakes 2 for $7 which was not bad, I got a banana pudding cupcake and a carrot cake cupcake. (One to keep & One to give away lol I could've hung around that much goodness for longer but I was too tempted, lol I will be back. Just when I thought I was done, I was met with the Sweet Indulgence favorite: Cinnamon Rolls!!! I had to buy one, it was huge!!! Easily 2-3 ppl could have a nice portion. I bought it to share and so grateful I did just that. My order came to about $14, which was pretty reasonable. My family who had the banana pudding cupcake enjoyed, they said it was sweet enough and the cake was highlighted as the star of the show. I enjoyed the carrot cake cupcake, it was a nice balance of carrot cake and the sweet cream on the top. I shared the cinnamon roll and am awaiting feedback, I'm sure it was great! (Will try next time I visit, oh there will be a next time) Amongst all of this good stuff , what really stood out for me was the customer service!!! As soon as I walked up I was greeted by a young lady who didn't just ask if she could help me, but she actually stayed with me the entire time talking me through what I may or may not have wanted since it was my first time. She truly blew me away with her sincerity, friendliness and attentiveness from start to finish. I should've gotten her name, unfortunately I didn't but I will when I visit again. It was most certainly encouraged by receiving such great customer service by a young person, she may have been a teenager. Young people get such a bad reputation sometimes but this young lady could teach customer service to folks double her age. Bravo Sweet Indulgence!!! See you next time
