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.

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!

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!

Raspberry sorbet and dairy free yogurt!

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!

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!

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.

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....

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

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!
