The service was so quick and they have an amazing variety of flavors! I got a medium cookie dough in a cone, and I got way more ice cream than I expected for the price which was awesome (I did end up asking for a container bc I couldn't eat that much so I got to take some home). Ice cream was delicious, will definitely be here again sometime!

High quality, great & friendly service. The line gets long quick, but the staff move it along fairly quickly. Can't beat the price in the area. I can't believe we didn't stop by The Main Freeze sooner! We'll definitely return & do recommend to others.

Great price, great service, and great options. My daughter is allergic to dairy, so ice cream shops generally aren't on our to do list. But I loved how Main Freeze not only had water ice, but also vegan ice cream options. The service was wonderful as well, really acknowledging her allergy and making sure I was comfortable with what she was doing (ie using a new scoop, etc). Believe it or not, that's not always typical for us. I've been served sherbet instead of sorbet or even stores saying we have nothing for you if it's a serious allergy. I completely understand businesses taking on liability for persons with allergies, but it only takes a minute to talk to someone and make sure we're all on the same page, I don't expect new containers to be open or for the non-dairy to be processed separately. I just want my 5yo to enjoy some ice cream like any other kid. And did I mention the prices? Ice cream for 4 for $10. Super perk! We will be back any time we're visiting the grandparents!

After having a fine Italian dinner we needed some desert. My mom suggested I've cream so I yelped it. Found this place right on the main drag. Looks like they get busy. They're service was a little slow which didn't help with the line but it was that long of a wait. Mom got some soft serve peanut butter cup. I got the Cookie Monster which is blue dyed vanilla full of cookies. Both delicious! Beware a medium is HUGE! That's a medium in my hand. It's a nice spot with bang for your buck. read more

I have never seen this place without a line on a summer night in Lansdale, so after getting dinner out one night I decided to come see what it was all about! A small ice cream shop with the absolute friendliest employees made for a great experience! They have some awesome flavors, but I decided to go with a Kiddie size of the Cookie Monster, which has cookie dough, brownie bites, and blue food coloring in it! For $2, this is definitely a great deal! The ice cream was perfect on a hot summer night! It was creamy and loaded with tons of toppings that were mixed inside of the ice cream! I'd definitely recommend this spot to any ice cream lovers in the area! read more

I got one scoop of Coconut Almond Joy. It tasted like neither coconut, almonds, chocolate, nor any other joy. It did, however, taste like freezer burned cardboard box and I threw it away. I tasted my BF's mint choco chip to get the taste out of my mouth. It was pretty blah but at least resembled the flavor intended. No thanks. read more

History

Established in 2006.

The Main Freeze is a family owned and operated Ice Cream store that was founded by Lansdale locals Claire and Joe Snell in June 2006. After six years of serving the greater Lansdale community in 2011 the business then changed management to Claire's younger brother David McNulty. Tack on another six years and we switch hands again to Eileen, who's the middle of the 5 McNulty children... Although, the business has changed owner ship it has stayed with the family, and is still committed to serving only the best quality frozen treats we can get our hands on!

Meet the Business Owner: Eileen M.

Eileen is a life long resident of Lansdale. Keeping it in the family, Eileen is the third McNulty to run the store, which is now in it's 19th season! Ice cream has been a "passion" her whole life, starting with her bed-time story alter ego, Eileener IceCreamer. :) She worked at Rita's Water Ice for 6 seasons, and, after a few years off, she's happy to be back at it at The Main Freeze!
