    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Honeycomb Franklin Fountain ice cream (1 scoop)

    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.

    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.

    Such delicious flavors and great topping options. I also love the seating area outside. Definitely a great place to have a treat during the summer.

    It's definitely a toss up of a question, but I think Jeni's has the best ice cream in the city…read more With a basic vanilla that hits that hard, everything else is bound to be good. I've been a regular at Jeni's for some time now. This location operates on a smaller plot of land for sure, but the line moves quickly, because of a super helpful, super friendly set of staff. Note, there's a good chance that you'll be eating your ice cream outside on the side walk, but honestly it won't be too long before it's gone anyways. Flavors are reliable and on-point. Prices have fluctuated for sure over the years, but if you're coming with a group, I'd recommend the Story, to be able to try as many of their excellent flavors as you can. Plus, it's cheaper per scoop than all other options. My only knock is that they used to be way more adventurous in the past than they are now. I remember way back when they had an everything bagel flavor... that literally was spot on. Like so much so that it was not a good ice cream flavor because it was too accurate. Wish they had that same adventuring spirit again, but that's no knock to the quality of this local establishment.

    Stopped in here on the walk back to a friend's apartment and got a few pints to take with us…read more Butter Cream Birthday Cake, Gren Mint Chip and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. All were great, but if I had to choose just one, it's the Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. OMG. The Bomb !!!
