It is a ritual that we come here when we're walking home from Markward playground. Such a great addition to our neghborhood. The staff is super friendly and always so cheerful every time we step foot through the door. They have so many great flavors including Greek yogurt (my fav), peanut butter, cookie and cream...just to name a few. There are also a nice topping selection...which my 7 yr old love to pile up on. There's also few huge flat screen TV's where they play all the latest kids movies at designated times. Love that! The outdoor seating is pretty awesome with bright tables/chairs and beautiful flowers....you almost forget you're in the middle of the street! On a super hot day.....froyo is perfect and you don't feel guilty! read more

See all

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

The Igloo is a so-so neighborhood frozen yogurt shop. It has some local charm for being right near the little plaza. The frozen yogurt itself was just ok. I wasn't a huge fan of my flavor, though maybe there are others you'd enjoy better. The topping selection was moderate - certainly not as impressive as other frozen yogurt joints. Overall fine for local convenience, but not the most remarkable. read more

Good place for dessert with affordable price and environment. I got a black and white ice cream and my bf got fro yo with some toppings. Both of them only cost us 8? But definitely less than 10. read more

The Igloo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

While it may look a little quirky and rundown, don't sleep on this neighborhood joint. Igloo does it ALL: cookies, ice cream, acai, froyo, custard, soft serve, churros -- you name it. They have Yogorino (the greatest froyo of froyos) and multiple other froyo options, including vegan options. They also post calorie count for their froyos, which are also pretty affordable. For only $2-$3, I can get myself a small sweet treat to round out the evening. The little patio/park right outside is also great as a hangout spot and has cute lights in the nighttime. read more

I've been eyeing this place ever since I moved to Philadelphia since it's right by this cute little square with ample seating and string lights. However I have to say that I was disappointed by the frozen yogurt. Maybe I'm just not yet fully adjusted to the way things are priced around here, but I came here from Atlanta (another city with semi-comparable prices on food), where I was used to paying $5 max for a bowl of froyo (any type) with unlimited toppings ranging from fresh mango/blueberry to mochi to cereal or chocolate bits. Here, though, I paid $7 for the same amount of froyo with only 2 toppings...and their selection of toppings is very limited (mostly just chocolate candy related items which isn't really my jam). The taste of it was also not memorable at all. I'm hoping it was a one off and that maybe I got the wrong flavor, but even so I can't really reconcile paying the price for what I'm getting. Service was friendly and fast, though! read more

The Igloo - The square outside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm addicted. best flavors: Greek yogurt and salted caramel next best flavors: cookies and creme and vanilla Every other flavor is still good (except for the tart). infinitely better than Yogorino and another other froyo place I've been to, and I'm def a Philly froyo snob. The prices are better, the quality is better. I wish every froyo place was Igloo. read more

Ice cream is tasty, a lot of options, outside area very nice, staff attentive! And I love that they have gluten free Ice cream! read more

First time there and loved the yogorino. But the reason we loved this place was the service there. I asked about peanuts since my daughter is severely allergic and they were so so helpful. They explained what we needed to avoid and I LOVED how all their peanut and nut toppings were all placed on a different side (to avoid contamination). They were so attentive, it was wonderful... esp since my kid is so limited in what/where she can eat. Thanks for the delicious treats and I'll be back soon for those wonderful looking cookie sandwiches! read more

We stopped in for a snack while in Philly for the weekend, and wow were there a ton of options. We were actually overwhelmed at first and needed about 5 minutes to fully appreciate everything they have on offer. We eventually decided on an ice cream sandwich with peanut butter cookies and peanut butter frozen yogurt. It was AMAZING. The peanut butter cookies were some of the best I've ever had--buttery and crispy throughout. The frozen yogurt tasted exactly like ice cream, and didn't have any weird tanginess that peanut butter froyo sometimes suffers from. My husband and I were splitting it but found ourselves fighting over every bite, it was that good. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and patient with us despite our indecision, and even when the place was swarmed with kids later, the service never suffered. We loved our ice cream sandwich so much that we tried to make it back the next day before our flight, and my husband was brokenhearted when we ran out of time. I'm sure next time we come back to Philly, we'll make a beeline for the Igloo! read more

Front: Churro Cone with Cookies and Cream Frozen Yogurt with caramel sauce on top. Back: Churro Cone with cinnamon toast crunch ice cream and marshmallow fluff sauce on top. This place exceeded our expectations, it's a lovely family owned business with amazing customer service. The owner made us feel more than welcome and helped us through each step of ordering. She was very nice and even told us the creative process behind some of the menu items. On our first taste we were both more than satisfied with the way the flavors of ice cream and sauce complimented one another. It did not take us long to finish these at all. The cookies and cream yogurt tasted exactly like ice cream and the caramel sauce meshed perfectly with the taste. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream was very rich and creamy and the marshmallow fluff sauce only elevated the taste. This is a place I wish to was all over the US and we wouldn't definitely come again. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. read more

The Igloo - Igloo Churro Cones - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Igloo is such a great addition to the neighborhood! I've had the original tart yogurt and dark chocolate sorbet and both are delicious. Great toppings selection too. I thought the pistachio sauce was a little weird... it hardened like Magic Shell when it hit the yogurt. Not exactly what I was expecting. I love that they have some outdoor seating too! read more

The Igloo - Full House on TV! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Such a cute neighborhood joint! A mix of serve-yourself gelato, frozen yogurt, or custard, which the calorie info on the nozzles so you know what you're getting into! Just moving to Philadelphia and being used to a lot higher prices, 55cents per ounce is great! And toppings are free! Putting any sauce on top though will do you in for an extra $1 but it's worth it for peanut butter sauce on chocolate froyo. BEST PART OF THIS PLACE IS MOVIE FRIDAYS. Every Friday they screen a film on their patio area and the neighborhood enjoys some froyo and a flick. Super fun! Definitely a nice Friday night with the family or some friends. read more

Went to Rita's, it was closed. A neighbor recommended this place. The vegan raspberry fro-yo wasn't so bad. I got toppings too. Just your run of the mill self serve yogurt shop. But the ice cream my family got and my froyo melted within 10 minutes, making it difficult to slurp out of the one-size-fits-all containers. It melted faster than water ice, which is more ice than the vegan froyo. I was surprised and kind of disappointed. Since I like to enjoy my frozen desserts, I probably will stick with Rita's water ice instead. read more

The Igloo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We came to the igloo tonight for some ice cream, welllll probably should have checked they actually serve ice cream. (They do not have ice cream) So we settled for some frozen yogurt and water ice. Service was lively and the options were vast in terms of toppings! A biiiiiit pricey but expected for the city. In a super cute area and lots of outdoor seating options! read more

As far as froyo goes - this place is good. As a native Californian, where froyo was popular option in the summer for several years, I've had the chance to try multiple places across the country. I got a the classic vanilla yogurt topped with deliciousness like mochi, strawberries, and cookie dough bits. The yogurt was creamy, smooth, and sweet - which is perfect for the humid Philadelphia weather. The toppings really diversified the texture and made the whole concoction alluring. They even have a little street park outside, which makes it perfect for catching up with a friend. The downsides - is that they are pretty militant about letting you only try three flavors and the floor is notoriously sticky. I'll go back for the froyo, but the service is a little lacking (in my opinion). read more

if you are hoping for a PinkBerry type place, this is not it. The tart yogurt is very disappointing and the rest might as well be TCBY. I walked a few miles to check this place out and even on a 90 degree day was disappointed. The frozen section at the grocery store would have been better. read more

I am annoyed that I can't give The Igloo the 5 stars that I wanted to give it before my encounter with the owner this evening. I have been going to The Igloo since it opened. I have gone through multiple loyalty cards, raved about it to my friends, and even incorporate it into my post workout routine. The owner, who I've met multiple times, still stares blankly when I engage in conversation. He once told me to yelp about The Igloo if I want to see improvements or new flavors, so here I am. Tonight's customer service was as cold as the interior of an actual igloo. The owner, who was distracted, beleaguered and disinterested checked us out. My boyfriend handed him 11 dollars, and was shortchanged by a dollar. When he asserted that he was a dollar short, the owner did not give him the benefit of the doubt, the owner quibbled over it and lost a customer. When asked about the different toppings, he could barely answer. When I asked if there were any new loyalty cards since mine ran out, he smirked and sarcastically said that I could save the receipt if I really wanted to get my credit. The other employees are quite cheery and helpful... I just wish their boss would lighten up and maybe learn something from the people he hired. In terms of constructive criticism: The froyo is delicious... I wish they had cake batter flavor. It would also be nice if they listed all of the calorie/gluten/nondairy/nutrition facts for each froyo so customers could see what they were getting. read more

I'm in the neighborhood and was really excited to hear that some dessert options were coming to the area. I tried the Igloo for the first time during the first week they opened and I was not impressed. The staff was not too knowledgeable about the froyo and they didn't have as extensive of a topping selection as some of the other froyo places in Center City. But I figured that was the first week and I'd give it another try so I went back last week. The service was better and the girl was really friendly and helped answer some of my questions. However, the froyo wasn't much better. My husband had the greek yogurt which was okay and I had the chocolate sorbet and it was not good at all. From what I hear from my neighbors, they feel like most of the flavors are pretty bland here. I'd say this place is a notch below the better froyo places in center city like Yogorino and Sweet Ending, so I'd rather walk a little bit further to get better stuff. I'm also not a big fan of paying by weight. I don't like not knowing what I'm going to end up paying for something. It always ends up being way more than I had planned to spend for a treat on a nice evening walk after dinner. Overall, it's okay but I wouldn't be a regular. read more

I am suspicious of places where I have to weigh my food. I always think the scale is rigged and my dollars are being snatched from my pocket. But I love yogurt , so I go to these places. I am also incredibly cheap, I count to three Mississippi with two flavors and get one dusting of a lighter topping. That's it. This stingy amount usually brings me up to about $5 to $7 at most places. At igloo my cheapo method brings me down to $3.75. Yippee! Now does this low low price make me go nuts for more toppings ( perhaps strawberries or, dream of dreams, mango chunks?). No, because the yogurt is not good. The gelato is bland. And while I wonder at how Igloo has managed to invent different colors of air-flavored yogurt, the decor makes me feel like I am in a theme park version of a space shuttle. Cheap, yes. But the product is lightyears away from anything worth going back for. read more

I've been both hoping and worried about having a good frozen yogurt shop in the area. I was worried because I knew if I liked it then I would be back day after day. Well, these guys had to go and make some of the best Chocolate Sorbet I've ever had in my life. It's incredible and I'm already having cravings which I satisfied again tonight. I like the layout of the place and seems like it will make a 'cool' hang out spot. You have 2 options when you go in, you can grab a cup and fill it up as much as you want, including some toppings and pay by the ounce. Or, there are specialty flavors that are sold by the size, all reasonably priced. I'm looking forward to hanging out here on the hot summer days. Congrats and welcome to the neighborhood! read more

I found The Igloo while walking through Fishtown and was glad I did! The portion sizes are generous and the dessert tastes high quality and filling. I got a medium cup with chocolate ice cream, peanut better yogurt, strawberries and marshmallow topping. Yum! The ordering process was easy, and the order window area is clearly marked for customers to social distance. (Note: Bring cash if you want to tip, as you are unable to on with a credit card.) read more

The Igloo - Medium sundae with strawberries and marshmallow topping - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Igloo. I enjoy their seasonal flavors, like pumpkin, which actually tastes like a pumpkin cookie. However, something needs to be done about the serve yourself topping bar. I always thought it was rather unsanitary looking, all of those toppings just out in the open, but a recent visit really made me think twice before loading up my yogurt with oreos. Kids. Parents love taking their kids out for ice cream, especially on the weekends. I get it - kids love ice cream! However, kids also love toppings that are easily accessible. And when parents aren't looking, kids like to be sneaky and stick their hands all up in those toppings. Then they stick those toppings in their mouth. And the process repeats. Honestly, these are some pretty smart kids. They see candy, they wait until mom/dad is not looking and they take candy. Igloo = free candy!!! What kid wouldn't want to go there? I'm all about kids eating candy, but what I'm not about is kid germs on the candy, which potentially gets added as a topping on my yogurt. Are there any other germ-o-phobs out there who are with me on this?! read more

Who doesn't like the Igloo? Seriously, tell me now. Errrrbody loves the 'gloo. The staff is SO nice. They're quick to offer a warm greeting and helpful with the tough choices like "cake batter or salted caramel gelato??" I like that I can bring my niece here and she can watch a movie while she noms her little cup of yogurt. Additionally, you can get a pup cup for your pooch topped with a dog treat. Yay Igloo!! read more

This place just rocks! My kids love frozen yogurt, esp making their own sundaes. They showed me their fave place in the burbs (in the Willow Grove mall) where they get their yogurt sundaes and now that this place is in town, they can feel right at home while visiting me here in the city. Thank you for being here. You're a great asset to our neighborhood! read more

One of the best froyo places in philly!! They have a great assortment of flavors and the yogurt is really good quality. The staff has to get the samples for you, which I don't love having to ask, but they are great about letting you try as many as you want. The outdoor seating is a great bonus on a nice night and they play movies outside so you can enjoy that as well. read more

Still excellent! They started the serve yourself option again. You grab a cup, and put your own soft serve in, then they'll add the toppings and you pay by weight. I've also been trying their hard serve ice cream. They've had 4 flavors recently from a local small batch maker I believe. I've been getting the strawberry. My mom got the honey comb in a pretzel cone. Holy smokes was that good. Last Friday they had a movie night and were playing a Pixar (can't remember) movie outside. Tonight (Thursday) there was a live band outside. Great place to take the kids (or not) and hang out! read more

The best self serve in the city! Truthfully the only one I've been to because nothing bad to say. I'm always partial to the super creamy vanilla custard, but there's a range of fro-yo flavors. Toppings include all the expected, from fresh fruit, to mochi, to candy pieces, and more. I've had the cookie ice cream sandwiches and churro cone. Neither was great, but I think it was later in the day so not so fresh. I stick with the cup. With quite a healthy serving of custard/ frozen yogurt and toppings, we usually end up spending up to $14 for two. We could easily be more conscious of serving size (those huge cups get ya!) but honestly, zero regrets! Love that they have pup cups for purchase (doggie ice cream) and they're open year round AND pretty late (til 11pm during the week). The triangle area outside has plenty of seating. read more

Reminds me of a Yogurtland, but a little less fresh. It's self-serve, including your toppings. Toppings are mostly limited to candies, and not fresh fruit. The time I went, there were just bananas and strawberries. If you have the time to head over, I would probably choose Yogorino instead. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. read more

Igloo is a Philly staple for me. Now that we're beyond the years of the "fro yo craze", it's cool to see the OG neighborhood place reigning supreme. Awesome flavor selection, great toppings, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. I love the outdoor seating area and they even play movies in the summer so you can hang for a bit if you'd like! read more

Love love love their frozen yogurt-- the salted caramel is so good, and they have a great selection of toppings to go with it! And the prices weren't too bad: my last frozen yogurt had two flavors, and lots of fruit toppings, and came to just under $7, and I feel like the same thing would've easily cost closer to $10 somewhere else. Plus, they seem like a great community spot: when I went by the Friday before Halloween they were playing movies outside for the kids. read more

The Igloo is a solid froyo place! It's self-serve, but beware: the machine pumps out froyo insanely fast. I pulled the lever down and one second later, my cup was already half full. I tried the Greek yogurt and the raspberry pomegranate, and they were both delicious. The Greek yogurt is their "must-try," and it's much creamier and richer than your average froyo. The raspberry pomegranate is more refreshing and something I'd go for on a hot day. They also list suggested toppings on each of their flavor signs, which is great if you're looking to try new things! read more

Treated my daughter and I after a few hours of playing in the park. Its a quaint establishment with blue and white themed walls. I didn't know what flavors to expect but decided on having lime, although Greek yogurt was delicious too. I believe there were only 8 flavors so i was slightly disappointed. My daughter chose cake batter with Reese's peanut butter and chocolate toppings. My topping were coconut, honey and almond pieces. Both desserts were tasty. The lime was deliciously light in flavor and blended well with the toppings. The price was based on weight and the orders totaled to a little over $7. Overall although the treats were good, I wasn't impressed at all. Need more selections for certain. read more

This place is hit or miss, and lately it's been all miss. Past month has been poor experience after poor experience. From ordering their Acai Bowl and receiving half blended bowl with chunks of frozen ice and clumpy fruit, to ordering their Greek Yogurt Parfait and getting fruit added that's not even on their menu. I've also randomly received some slimy caramel sauce I never requested but was added to my frozen yogurt and ruined it. The workers can't appear to follow the amount advertised on their menu since several times I've ordered a large which is advertised as 12 oz. and received not even halfway full of a 16 oz. cup. read more

Decent frozen yogurt and toppings but doesn't have the variety of flavors that most by the ounce frozen yogurt places have. If you like the yogorino, then you'll like this place, but if you like variety, you may leave disappointed. read more

At Igloo, it is all soft served, which is especially great if you have had recent dental work, but is also just great in itself. The soft serve comes in sorbets and frozen yogurt plus their 2 super special frozen items- a FAGE Greek yogurt flavor and a Salted Caramel gelato, both homemade. I skipped the traditional strawberry, chocolate, etc. in favor of the 2 specificity items. Both are served behind the counter, as opposed to the rest which are self serve. I topped it off with fresh strawberries, mango, and brownie bites. The Greek yogurt, made from 2% milk, is a pretty great low fat option. It is tart like Pinkberry/Red Mango, but more refined in my opinion. I really really liked it. But then there was the Salted Caramel. This is seriously divine. Its so creamy with a hint of burnt sugar balancing the sweetness. *I got to try this on preview day, so I have no idea how much it all costs and if it gets expensive! read more

So glad this has stayed in the neighborhood! My favorite is still the plain Greek yogurt topped with some peanut butter and chocolate shell!

I have to agree with Michelle C. when I say that froyo isn't typically something I go crazy over. Yeah it's got that creative "build your own sundae" thing going for it, and it's supposedly "healthier" than ice cream (whatever that means). But this spot has changed my mind in a serious way. This is a neighborhood go to for me. First of all, it's got that local feel. It's situated on the little Grays Ferry triangle that this summer got turned into a small pedestrian park/picnic locale. There are always families surrounding this place, along with all other neighbors. There's elderly couples, there's young couples, there's me, by myself, filling my yogurt cup to the brim. The staff is always warm (in the Igloo, get it?!) and they are BRILLIANTLY open until 11pm even on weeknights, maybe even later during the weekend? Yes. The flavors are great and the selection is not too vast that you'll get caught up in a "what should I get?!" crisis. The toppings bar is always freshly stocked and they will replenish something for you if not. I like that there are other options-gelato, gelato bars, and it always seems like they're thinking of the next thing. I love the loyalty system, which is essentially a free yogurt for ever 10 you buy. It's more of a point/money system but that's what it works out to for me. I am obviously quite loyal. Any why wouldn't I be? This place is down the block, and there is a tasty greek froyo with toasted almonds and chocolate chips waiting for me. See ya later. read more

In the three months that I've been in the city, I've been to this lovely froyo place at least five times. This is a perfect spot between my house and the Wissahickon Dog Park! Since I tie my dog's leash outside while I'm getting ice cream inside, short wait times to check out are important, and thankfully I've never waited more than half a minute to pay. The toppings are fresh, the yogurt and gelato are delicious, and the staff is friendly. Prices are cheap too. Can't wait to stop by again! Tip: Eat outside :) read more

The frozen yogurt here is super tasty, and I love the flavors. The last time I went, they had coffee flavor! They offer all of the toppings you need (fruit, granola, crushed candy bars, nuts, etc.). The place is clean and the owner is so nice. The outdoor seating area is awesome in the summer. I definitely recommend this place! read more
