Ice cream sandwiches:  eagles, matcha lemon, alpine; Scoops:  triple berry, pineapple cheesecake
Stan H.

One of my fave places. First knew about them when they were only a food cart. Then they started distributing at green line cafe, then they had their shop. Closed their shop, then someone else bought their shop and brought its glory back. During an earlier Yelp Elite series, I have a hard time deciding between Weckerley's, Milk Jawn, and Harper's. I love all of them but Weckerley's gets a slight edge for me. I only give them 4 stats because I think they need a clause on their website and IG that says that hours are subject to change. I can respect that a business wants to close early on a non-weekend and non-Friday if they aren't making a lot or don't have enough help but then put that in. I even tried to call today and the phone was too busy and I had to take my chances for the drive. Some of the fast food places have amounted to closing shop early because of lack of help and this reminded me that maybe times have changed and I am getting old. There is minimal seating but it is enough. Good food is important to me but so is reasonable accessibility.

Walked into this cute, small ice cream shop located near all the bars and restaurants in Fishtown, making it the perfect dessert stop! We snagged two scoops of their specialty summer flavors, the blueberry crumble and raspberry graham cracker. Both flavors were fresh and fruity, yet not too sweet. Service was quick and staff was friendly! Highly recommend for a refreshing lil treat!

FOOD We had their chai and fudge brownie flavors. Both were incredibly rich and creamy. The spices of the chai were exceptional and blended well-- the cinnamon and cloves powerful punches without overdoing it. The brownie flavor was rich and a little bit on the sweeter side than I personally would have liked it, and the brownie pieces added a great chewy texture to the smoothness of the ice cream. I'd definitely be back to try their sandwiches if in the area again! SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. We tried a couple samples before selecting the flavors for our order. I would definitely mention if you have allergies as they simply rinse the spoons between scooping flavors. AMBIANCE There is limited seating (by window or under menu) available inside the shop. People usually ordered and ate outside at the bench in front of the store or standing. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

Strawberry Shortcake
Philip Y.

Stop by for Yelp Elite event. I was little bit early on Saturday morning before 12 but they still offered me the ice cream. I chose the Strawberry Shortcake and it was delicious. I was picking up my daughter to come home for the weekend. We both enjoyed the ice cream!

(Top to Bottom): Cook's Coffee Cake and Apple Breakfast Ice Cream Sandwiches
Leta Z.

I had been meaning to try Weckerly's Ice Cream for some time because one of my friends touted it as his favorite place to get ice cream in Philly. So my husband and I decided to grab an after dinner treat after having had dinner at Cheu Fishtown, which is in walking distance. Weckerly's is a small shop with limited seating (one circular table of cocktail table height and window seating with two chairs), which is nice to nab if you can, especially if the weather outside is too cold or too hot. Because it was quite chilly outside when we went, my husband and I grabbed the window seating to do some people watching while we enjoyed our ice cream sandwiches. I ordered the Apple Breakfast, which was cinnamon toasted oat ice cream with house made apple butter between wheat-free oatmeal cookies. I liked that the ice cream wasn't too sweet because sometimes, with ice cream shops that mix a lot of different flavors into their ice cream, the ice cream can sometimes be too decadent and/or overly sweet. The inclusion of the apple butter gave the ice cream sandwich a nice balance with the slightly tart, slightly sweet flavor. And I am a huge fan of all the different textures at play: the jammy texture of the apple butter combined with the creamy ice cream nestled between two thin, chewy cookies. My husband ordered the Cook's Coffee Cake, which was Caphe Roasters' Coffee ice cream topped with chocolate ganache and coffee cake crumb between cinnamon sugar cookies. I don't like chocolate nor am I a coffee drinker so I didn't try much of his ice cream sandwich but I do like coffee flavored desserts so I decided to try a bit of the ice cream. The coffee flavor was very strong so if you like to drink coffee, this ice cream sandwich might be right up your alley. Some things to note: The ice cream sandwiches are quite large so I would recommend sharing them with someone or inquiring about the Mini Ice Cream Sandwich. Also, their partner, Lil Pop Shop recently closed their storefront but Weckerly's still sells their popsicles so something to keep in mind if you are in the mood for a different kind of frozen treat. Lastly, they change up their flavor offerings regularly so keep an eye on their Instagram (@weckerlys) for any updates. Would I go back? : Maybe but probably not. If anything, I might stop in for a Lil Pop Shop pop. Weckerly's Ice Cream's ice cream consistency is very creamy and rich, which I don't personally prefer. I'm more partial to the consistency of Milk Jawn's ice cream and their flavor variety. But this is purely my personal preferences which is why Weckerly's is more accurately a 3.5 for me. Although, I can see why they're a community favorite, having seen several people come in on a winter's night during the short period of time I was there enjoying my ice cream sandwich.

The Sammie was delicious
Louise A.

The ice cream was amazing! I had the Sammie ice cream sandwich and absolutely loved it! The service was amazing! Will definitely be going back!

Average Ice cream sandwich
Jess D.

With all the amazing ice cream shops in Philly, it's tough to stand out. I would say Weckerlys is Mid. It's not the best but it's average. It's also going to face some competition now that more ice cream shops are opening in Fishtown so I don't think I will return. Prices are average, service is solid, ice cream is OK.

Deanna D.

This place had good ice cream. Only had popsicles for nondairy option but perfect size for a child. Cute area in Fishtown.

Megan C.

Weckerly's is the best. Stopped in on a Saturday around 5pm and was SO excited to try one of their ice cream sandwiches for the first time. I went with the turtle power sandwich that includes caramel swirl sweet cream ice cream & butter pecan sweet cream ice cream with cocoa cookie crumble on chocolate cookies with pecans (yes I did copy paste that from the website so I could recall every sweet detail and ooooooo baby did it deliver!) Honestly a can't miss experience in Fishtown. Take it and go for a walk or enjoy inside of their small storefront. Will be stopping by whenever I am in Fishtown and look forward to many more Weckerly's trips.

Lemon Berry Graham
Komal R.

The Lemon Berry Graham flavor is to die for!! So delicious and a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The girl behind the counter was sweet and courteous.

Ling C.

Cute small ice cream shop in fishtown with a few stools, a great spot to get dessert after dinner! I got the blueberry sorbet and it was deliciously tart & sweet. Tasted like it was made with real fruit! The service was so quick!

Almost Spring Lick
Gerald S.

Philadelphia has several excellent small batch ice cream platforms for your tasty enjoyment. Weckerly's on Girard Avenue in Fishtown, is one of them. I was recently there for a Yelp Event where we sampled a scoop of one of two available flavors. It was smooth, silky, sweet and addictive. In addition, I purchased a take home Classic Sandwich (Vanilla ice cream between Chocolate Wafers), which was even more compelling that the Graham Berry concoction tasted while in the house. The sandwich was thick with 'scream - more than an inch wide - while the choco layer was stable enough to hold the opus together and last to the very last lickin' bite. The vanilla was creamy and inviting; while the wafer offered a soft embrace with mild flavor that did not dominate their combination. Family loved it, too. Made me wish I had started with those other mixtures which were definitely the best way to experience what Weckerly's really had to showcase. Apple Breakfast, or any flavor between shortbread cookies....Are you kidding me?!?! Return visit mandatory!

Turtle Power
Payal P.

This cute ice cream place in fishtown is located right on the main strip. The place is really tiny. There are a couple of bar seats if you did want a place to plop up. The place has the best ice cream bars I've ever had in the city. The top crust of ice cream was pretty thick and fresh. It wasn't hard to chew like some of the store bought ice cream bars. I ended up getting the Turtle Power. It was very tasty and fresh ice cream layer in the middle. I really like the chocolate crumbles on this sandwich.

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 !!!
