I live three blocks from here now and am SO thrilled that I finally found a reason to stop by this weekend. I often want a small treat and find that some ice cream shops in town load you up unnecessarily. Being in control of my exact soft serve flavor specifications and amount at Igloo? An indulgent gorly's dream! Never mind the fact that they have a huge variety of toppings and also sell sandwiches and novelties out of the freezer. I cannot wait to go back and try more flavors. I opted for the cinnamon toast crunch soft serve with oreos and brownies pieces. The staff here was super kind and accommodating and everyone left happy with their own personalized concoctions. Great location, great garden to enjoy your treats, and overall 5 star nostalgic vibes from Igloo. Will return! read more

The Igloo is a self-serve frozen yogurt spot with a fun twist -- you serve your own froyo, but the staff handles the toppings. While they're generous with them, I kind of wish we could add our own to better control the amount. Still, the flavors really stand out. I loved the raspberry pomegranate and the imported European ice cream -- both are rich, tart, and you can really taste the probiotic tang. Seriously amazing. They didn't have cups available for taste-testing, so we had to pick flavors on instinct, which was a bit of a gamble. I wasn't the biggest fan of the cinnamon toast crunch flavor, but everything else we tried was solid. There was a long line since it was a hot day, but it moved quickly enough that nothing melted before we could dig in. Indoor seating is limited -- just a couple of tables and chairs -- but there's a quaint little triangle-shaped outdoor area with string lights that makes for a nice evening spot once the sun backs off. A great place to cool down and treat yourself after a hot day. read more

Such a cute interior! Just got peanut kroko and nutella for toppings because I had loaded up on all the yogurt flavors but those were two good additions. Loved the yogorino (imported from Italy apparently) but each flavor was good. read more

The Greek frozen yogurt was delicious! I like that the staff does your toppings as it feels cleaner. Nice spots to sit outside.

They have a lot of options here: frozen yogurt, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, parfaits, ice cream by the pint, etc. Very family-friendly and kid-friendly shop with good amount of seating indoors and outdoors in the plaza. They don't have too many frozen yogurt flavors compared to other places I've visited (they had 10, but most of them seemed similar, e.g. Vanilla, Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Greek Yogurt, Original Yogurt). The only interesting flavor they had that stood out when I visited was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Their frozen yogurt is $0.69/oz, and their froyo seems creamier than other froyo I've tried -- almost like a mix between frozen yogurt and ice cream. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was a mix between the two since they do make their own ice cream. I didn't like the creamier texture for froyo, but that's just a personal preference! I liked the froyo at Kiwi in University City more -- they have more flavors, and they allow you to add all the toppings yourself! read more

If happiness had a flavor, it would definitely live at Igloo. They have so many options from hard ice cream to soft serve, you name it and every single one tastes like it was flown in straight from Italy (because it was!) My personal favorite? The non dairy vanilla. So creamy, so rich, you'd never guess they're dairy free. It's honestly dangerous how good it is. Perfect spot for date night, post dinner cravings, or when you just need to romanticize your life with a cone in hand. read more

The Igloo is my go-to and simply the best froyo place in philly! My favorite flavor of all time is their Yogurino, which is an "original" flavor. It is a perfect balance of sweet and tart and is soooo delicious. It kind of reminds me of the yogurt I always eat when I am in China. For toppings, I like to get blueberries, strawberries, and a sprinkle of mochi pieces. Both their chocolate shell and the pistachio shell are bomb! read more

I really love their raspberry sorbet and dairy free yogurt! Perfect for lactose intolerant or dairy allergies. Everything is priced by weight. I usually get coconut, Oreos, mochi, and fruit. They have some sitting tables outside and there's a small fountain. Even when it gets busy the service is quick. There's also a grab and go fridge with ice cream sandwiches! read more

So glad I got to stop by The Igloo on an unseasonably warm February afternoon. Though I was tempted by Franklin Fountain's ice cream, I decided to try their self-serve and created a bowl full of Chocolate Custard and Salted Caramel topped with hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles, and cookie dough. It was exactly what I wanted! Service was friendly and, to top it off, we got to witness a dog's joy at enjoying its first pup cup to celebrate its birthday right outside the shop! Definitely recommend! read more

Love Igloo! Flavors, toppings, hours and staff are great here. My children adore coming here for a treat and I appreciate that you can choose your own portion as it's self serve. read more

It's crowded during the evening but management. Selections are limited and found in most ice cream shops. Small shop. Overall average experience and nothing special. read more

Came here on a whim for some good dessert and came out deeply satisfied. They offer a great selection of flavors and toppings although I struggled on choosing just one flavor. I ended up getting a little bit of three and each was delightful in its own way. They do not skimp on toppings although I was a little disappointed that the sauces would be an additional cost. However, the froyo stands on its own even without sauce and toppings. read more

The Igloo is such a great place. Today the owner opened 30 minutes earlier for us because we walked by and my daughter wanted ice cream. She also offered to hold our ice cream while my daughter got a hair cut. She was so nice and generous. The ice cream was also delicious! I would definitely recommend and I will be back for more ice cream and frozen yogurt! read more

Stopped in here after a bike ride and picnic in Fitler Square. I'd been here before and gotten froyo. They're doing self-serve with the froyo but not with the toppings -- glad to see they are still taking some precautions! Overall, the froyo flavors weren't speaking to us, but then we saw the Franklin Fountain ice cream and decided to get a scoop of honeycomb and strawberry. The scoops are HUGE and the flavors are everything you'd expect from FF - delicious. Also thought the service was nice -- the woman serving up the ice cream and toppings was very friendly and she seemed to know a lot about the Franklin Fountain ice creams (like how FF has their own bees so yes, there is real honeycomb in the ice cream). Overall a good experience and would probably come back knowing we don't have to go all the way to Old City for Franklin Fountain. read more

Simply the best froyo in philly. Their greek yogurt flavor is sooo nice and tangy and i love the cinnamon toast as well. I want to try their choc hazelnut and pistachio sauces. Their uber eats delivery was very good and the froyo was still cold and structured when it came ! Too bad my friend and i gobbled it all up b4 i cld get a picture x read more

Used DoorDash for the first time and ordered dessert from the Igloo, so cannot speak for physical location or customer service. These aspects had no effect on my review. In short, probably not the best place to order for delivery but would be good fresh. What intrigued us about The Igloo was its churros. They offer a Churro Cone as well as individual filled churros. Not many places offer churros as a full menu item. They also have a decent amount of flavors of ice cream/fro yo/water ice. Churro Cone with vanilla custard & chocolate shell: 3.75/5. Liked the custard and chocolate shell. Because it was delivery, they were very clever in taping the cone in two plastic cups. I just had to try this churro cone. Unfortunately, it was more like eating cinnamon sugar day-old bread. It had the taste of a churro but not the texture. By the time it got to us it was not hot, so it may work better warm. Don't think I would order again on delivery, but if I ever made it out there I would order the cone with possibly the strawberry flavor. Wanted to try a classic, tried and true vanilla. Medium chocolate custard & pomegranate raspberry sorbet with hot fudge and strawberries: 3.5/5 . The strawberries were big but were totally frozen. Liked the ice cream flavors. Stuffed churros: peanut butter, caramel, and chocolate hazelnut flavoring. I was disappointed that the churros were not real- you could see the seam line on the end of a churro, which you would not get if you were piping the batter in to hot oil and frying it as a traditional churro. Nothing really else to say, just fine read more

This is my go-to froyo spot in Philly! Very reasonably priced for the content, love the set-up, and the woman that works here is very kind to me and my friends every single time. She even offers to put on shows for us to watch while inside. I've been here many times on separate occasions in diverse weather, and am never, ever disappointed! There's a wide range of froyo and non-froyo options, and you can mix-and-match whatever you want to in your froyo bowl. Their hours are great for the purpose -- one time I went around 10pm! Highly recommend, I have yet to find another froyo place at this level. read more

Finally found a frozen yogurt place not far from Center City Philly! Especially loved the variety of food that they offer here: frozen yogurt, different ice cream or ice cream sandwiches, and Acai bowls! The store looks cute both inside and out. They have a television running Japanese cartoons nonstop, creating an atmosphere of kids coming here to relax after a long day of school. It made me feel nostalgia. Meanwhile, they have a number of seatings outside with those fun colored chairs. Families are welcome to seat there and enjoy their desserts together in a lazy afternoon.... read more

Great customer service. I love the hard ice cream the most. Great place for the kids on Friday. It's movie night.

Updating my review for The Igloo. I use ^ to indicate a half-star and * for a full star. So, ***^ means 3.5 stars: ***** Yogorino yogurt: this is my fave. It's delicious, not too sweet. **** Eggy vanilla custard yogurt ** Cake batter: I didn't like this, it was too sweet * Pistachio sauce (Yogorino brand) tastes fake. Also, it seems expensive at 99cents for a bit (it's not sold by weight). Even worse, it doesn't taste good. (I remember it tasting better when I got it at the Yogorino store.) I'd go for the Yogorino yogurt. Or I'd ask to try other ones before buying, since many of the other yogurts didn't taste good. Maybe next time I'll try the Greek yogurt. Service is fine. read more

Great vibes in here! Went in and they were playing disney movie songs... "Be a Man" from Mulan happened to be on and my friend, the cashier, and myself had a beautiful singalong moment while buying our ice cream. What a jam. The ice cream does not disappoint (would recommend the pumpkin flavor this fall!) and they also really know how to load you up on the cookie dough bites (which is clearly what every cookie-dough-bite-loving person needs!). There is a cute outdoor seating area that sometimes has live music. No indoor seating was available when I went, but there was more than enough room outside on a lovely night to sit and enjoy. Would definitely go back! read more

I'd give them a higher review but the last two times I ordered I got next to no sprinkles. Can't cost a lot to cover the top with sprinkles...had to go spelunking for those things read more

The Igloo - a bowl of cereal with gummy bears - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ever since Yogorino closed in Philly this place has been my go to spot! They bought the recipe from Yogorino but, in my opinion, it doesn't tastes exactly the same. Igloo's version is still really good and it beats driving all the way to Paoli. I also really like the Greek yogurt froyo here despite the powdery aftertaste. Customer service is always great. There are plenty of chairs and tables outside the store and they play movies right outside in the summertime. Great place to walk to and have a chill night if you live in the area. And they open late! read more

There are surprisingly not a lot of true frozen yogurt spots in the city. But hey, one great one is enough. I have only been here during the pandemic so I haven't experienced creating my own bowls, but hopefully I will one day. Their options are a bit overwhelming, they have Frozen yogurt, Sorbet, Gelato, Milkshakes, Cookies, Custard, and loads of toppings. I have had the yogurt, custard and icecream. I prefer the Yogorino yogurt which has a nice tartness and the Custard. All of the flavors are great, you really can't go wrong. So if you have that frozen treat craving, head on down to south street, you won't be disappointed. read more

Brought the kids here for a treat and was blown away by the kid-friendliness! There are games, lego and crayons available -- which were perfect for my 1, 4, and 6 year olds. There is a great variety of ice cream AND frozen yogurt. There is a stellar collection of toppings including gummy bears! The kids were happy. And when the kids are happy, the parents are happy. read more

My friends and I have been craving froyo for awhile now and had a difficult time finding a place in the city until we came across The Igloo! They've got great flavors (salted caramel was delish), a wide variety of topping choices, and sauces! You can even get it in a cone too. We went in the winter, so we stayed inside but there are cute places to sit outside on warmer says. Plus the staff was super friendly! read more

Ah Igloo. Just walking in the doors makes me have the, "I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER" feeling. The FroYo itself is great, pick your flavor(s), pick your toppings. They also have milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches. My favorite flavors are peanut butter & greek yogurt. I love the location & the community feel of this place. They show movies for kids in the summertime, the tables are outside and seats are open by the fountain, it seriously is one of my favorite summer activities. After you're done, you can talk a walk over to the South Street Bridge and walk off your Froyo... maybe even get a second round on your way back ;) read more

Came across this after dinner. Such a cute little place in a nice neighborhood! Loved the art and the variety of options they had. My boyfriend got a custom made milkshake and I got some waterice. I also thought it was amazing how they are open till 12 on weekends, as most ice cream and dessert places close much sooner. Also very affordable. Will definitely be returning here plenty more times! read more

Really good. The machines are well maintained, the flavor choices are good. The staff is really friendly.

3.5 Stars. Sweet little 'top your own' fro-yo spot in Grad Hospital area. Kiddos just love it here. In fact, they host kids birthday parties! Positives: -The location is great. Very welcoming, safe neighborhood with an adorable polka dot painted outdoor space. So, so lovely to sit outside here in warmer weather! -Very friendly, helpful staff! - Pretty standard pay per weight fro-yo prices with sugar free options. -Tv, coloring books and little sitting area for the wee ones. -They hand make beautiful creamy popsicles and cater them to a theme with colors if you're having a party here! Nice touch! Negatives: -Only one dairy free option and its water ice, not yogurt. Whaaah. -A lot less toppings than other places were used to. Less fruit and healthier options too. All and all, we'll be back, especially in summer. It's so fun to sit outside with the neighbors. Very cute little outdoor space. read more

It's froyo you can't go wrong with it. My favorite is this yogorino one. They use to have their own location on rittenhouse but closed down. So happy this spot has their froyo read more

Igloo is not only my favorite frozen yogurt in Philadelphia (thank goodness you brought Yogorino back) - but the staff could not be kinder or more generous. Igloo is amazing for parties! I hosted a gathering for Penn's Camp Kesem chapter (a camp for children with parents affected by cancer), and we could not have asked for easier communication, a better deal, or more delicious gelato and frozen yogurt. Our campers and their families had the best time hanging outside at the Triangle, playing games, and enjoying their frozen yogurt. It was an unbelievably affordable and popular event for us. Consider Igloo for your next birthday party, work gathering, or fundraiser! Can't say enough good things. Special thanks to Caroline! read more

the exact same stuff you'd see from the big yogurt franchises but more expensive with less options

The Igloo denied me and my service dog service and was not interested in being educated on the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) laws pertaining to service dogs. The manager, Carolyn, repeatedly told me that she would only serve me at the window, which is against the law. You cannot restrict access to any place available to the public for anyone with a service dog for any reason unless the dog is not under the handlers control. Her and her employees were not interested and Carolyn only offered excuses including, "there are kids with disabilities that come there and some employees are allergic to dogs." I was hoping to show her my ADA card and the laws, but we were asked to leave. I have filed a report with the ADA and The United States Department of Justice. I will be contacting local news outlets to raise awareness and educate businesses on the ADA laws so people with disabilities are not discriminated against. In Philadelphia I have gone to numerous stores like Shop Rite, PetSmart, Home Depot, Rita's Italian Ice, who have shown support of people with disabilities that deserve access so that we aren't limited and feel like we belong. read more

I'm going to be straight with you. I am not usually a fan of frozen yogurt. It just doesn't do for me what ice cream or even water ice can do. But after several visits to The Igloo, my mind has been changed. The Greek frozen yogurt is really, really good. I don't like plain frozen yogurt, but I like The Igloo's version. With some cookie crumbles on top, it's perfect. And something like 125 calories per serving. Just be mindful of that serving size while utilizing the single-size, serve-yourself bucket. I get the purpose of said bucket at a store that prices things out based on weight, but a single serving of fro-yo literally looks like... well, a drop in a bucket. Another thing I like about this place is that they aren't just frozen yogurt. They also serve a couple types of gelato, and water ice is on the agenda for this summer. The owners are super friendly and really care about their customer feedback. I'm so glad this place is in my neighborhood! read more

A tasty froyo place right in Gray's Ferry. Service is good. I enjoyed the vanilla mixed with some fruity pebbles. I, of course, added a plethora of toppings. I appreciate that all of the fruit toppings looked good. Sometimes it looks a bit mealy but not here! The best part about The Igloo is actually it's location. It was so nice to take outside and sit by the fountain with the little nook all lit up! read more
