    Vanilla ice cream with sprinkles
    Jenaya P.

    Morrone's is that old school, neighborhood water ice spot that screams West Philly, when you think of West Philly you basically think of Morrone's water ice! I love that their prices are super reasonable you can definitely get you a water ice and a pretzel for under 5.00 They also sell milkshakes, banana splits gelatos and funnel cakes. My nephew enjoyed his vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. So if your ever in the West Philly area check this place out, perfect for the kids or if you just want to have some dessert or a snack. Come to Morrone's and get you a mango or piña colada water ice with a pretzel on the side!

    Fruit Punch Water Ice

    Purchase: Small, fruit punch water ice Price: $1 Opinions & comments: At first I did not know what to expect, but all I can say is this place is GREAT! The texture of the water ice was very smooth, almost like ice cream but not creamy. The fruit punch flavor was not overly sweet and the size small was only $1. That's at least 3 scoops. You can't go wrong!

    This place was good when I was a kid and just as good as an adult. The water ice there is no comparison. And the pretzels were awesome. They come without salt so you easily add them since they have salt available. This is now a must stop every time I come to Philly. If you haven't stopped here I don't know what's holding you back. Just go, forget your diet and enjoy life.

    Rainbow and strawberry banana water ice.

    They are extremely flavorful, and very well priced. They also sell a lot of extras like pretzels and hot dogs. It's definitely worth seeking out on a hot day.

    This is a "around the way" spot, I've have been coming here since I was a child. Management has changed since then, but the product remains consistent. The employees are always kind and if the sun is shinning bright they are open. On hot days the line can be pretty long and there is a considerable wait. They have all the typical waterice flavors, soft served ice cream , pretzels and other carnival foods.

    Cherry Gelati

    My first time in Philly visiting my husbands hometown. This is the best dessert I have tried in a very long time. I found myself going every day while we were there. I've yet to try all the flavors. The ones I have tried are so good! The gelati is the best!! Can't wait to go back!

    Pretty good water ice. Super cheap prices and large portions. The location is out of the way and the neighborhood didn't seem very good.

    A day with beautiful temps meant everyone was flocking to get ice cream. When my friends and I…read morearrived around 4:30 PM, it was somewhat hectic, but there were three associates behind the counter so the wait didn't seem long at all. For a limited time, they have a "Biscuits with the Boss" flavor as a collab with Ted Lasso. I was feeling something fruity so I went with Watermelon Taffy and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. The half scoop needs to be a thing at more ice cream shops because it is the PERFECT portion! I loved that I could try two flavors without feeling stuffed. Goat Cheese with Red Cherries - very rich and creamy with just enough of the tart cherry to balance out the goat cheese. Watermelon Taffy - almost like a sorbet with watermelon flavor. So refreshing! The little waffle cone piece on the side was a great way to add crunchiness. Every flavor at Jeni's is so fun and interesting. I can't wait to stop in again!

    Had this back to back with a nearby local ice cream shop and wow-- Jeni's is fantastic!…read more I really appreciate the creativity that they put into their flavors here. I sampled five flavors and my top three were the Hibiscus Chili Punch, Summer Berries + Passion fruit, and the Watermelon Taffy. The staff member that helped us was very kind, informative, and enthusiastic. He was very open about the flavors and was not shy to tell us what might be too sweet. I wish we came earlier in the day because we got there 30 minutes before closing and they were already in the process of cleaning up. The store still had a super cute color theme going on and it was very clean. We sat at the window barstools while we finished out single scoop. One unique thing about Jeni's is that they serve each flavor by the half scoop, so one scoop automatically defaults to two different flavors!
