    A really nice little ice cream shop in south Philly! I came here the other day and got some great ice cream. Service here is quick and very friendly. The Ice cream-options are really good and they give you a lot of ice cream. This place is definitely worth a visit. You will get your money's worth for sure. A small is $3 and you get a huge amount of their ice cream. I highly recommend a visit. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating when there isn't covid. The place is very clean and looks newly renovated.!

    I was craving an Oreo milkshake and looked for a spot nearby. Right around the corner from where I lived seemed like the perfect spot. It was empty when I walked in. You have to ring a bell to get buzzed in. I was acknowledged quickly. They have a few arcade games scattered around. No prices on the menu. But they serve food as well as ice cream, water ice etc. there are a ton of flavors to choose from. I should've just got the cookies & cream milk shake but salted caramel pretzel caught my eye. I asked to have the two flavors mixed in my milkshake. I don't know if they only have 1 size or if they gave me whatever size they wanted I paid $7.29 for a 24 ounce shake. Which isn't bad if it was good. Too much milk, too sweet and freezer burn. Also though I saw cookie pieces in it it didn't taste at all like cookies and cream. The salted Carmel pretzel was very overwhelming and not in a good way. I don't know what brand of ice cream is used but I wouldn't order another milkshake without trying the flavors first. Also requesting them to ease up on the milk. They open at 3pm and close at 10.

    I eyeballed The Perfect Scoop after completing a run. With it being right across the street from my hotel, the Radisson Hotel Philadelphia I was bound to visit at some point during my weekend stay for some ice cream. Though none were a bothersome, it appeared to be a hangout spot for high school students late in the evening hours. I encountered many of them during my visit which was on a Friday night within the final hour of closing time. I was acknowledged by the employee behind the counter as soon as I walked up to the menu which featured ice cream, then helped immediately after I identified my preferred ice cream flavor. The Perfect Scoop has nearly 27 ice cream flavors to choose from on their menu. I nearly ordered a Rocky Road ice cream but ended up ordering a Caramel Cheesecake because it is a flavor I rarely get; it is also one of those flavors that is not as basic as Rocky Road as well. I did love that the employee gave me the opportunity to taste the flavor before I made my decision. During this visit, I wish I would have known beforehand that The Perfect Scoop had appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and hoagies on their menu because I probably would have ordered a meal with my ice cream. In closing the Caramel Cheesecake tasted exactly how I imagined. It was satisfyingly good, size and taste wise. With that, I would surely visit The Perfect Scoop again during any of my ventures to Philadelphia. I recommend it if you happen to be in the area looking for a place to eat or for ice cream. ~Blessings~   Thomas G

    Everyone is friendly and the generous portions never disappoint! The milkshakes with malt and buffalo chicken eggrolls are my favorite.

    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 !!!
