Tried Weckerly's Ice Cream. The texture is different from the typical ice cream you're used to. It's denser and not as airy as the standard grocery store ones. It's worth trying, but I'm not running back for it again anytime soon.

Mango and cranberry?! What a treat
Maryan O.

I'm not a big ice cream fan but sign me up for Weckerly's every time. There's always a refreshing option in their rotating flavors. And they nail it with their diverse choices each time. Also, the staff are always so kind. There are almost no seats indoors which is totally fine - I personally like to grab one of the few outside and enjoy my ice cream while watching life move on the streets :)

Coconut Hibiscus Popsicle and Raspberry Chocolate Ice Cream
Komal R.

I am a big fan of Lil Pop Shop popsicles and I was so happy to hear that Weckerley's carries some of the flavors. I love the Mango Sticky rice popsicle but they were out of it - understandably so as it is one of the most popular popsicle flavors! So instead, I got the Coconut Hibiscus which was equally delicious and such a bright pretty pink! The coconut was dominant with subtle sweet floral notes. I have honestly started to think that you can never go wrong with any Lil Pop Shop flavor!

I've been to the Fishtown location many times but this was my first time at Rittenhouse. I my coworker and I couldn't resist stopping in on our lunch. The space is bigger with some seating. It has big window so it has lots of light. The owner waited on us. She is very nice and explained several flavors. It's hard to choose a flavor because there are so many unique ones. We did the split scoops for $7 so we could get 2 flavors. I had the apricot amaretti. It was creamy with pieces of lots of pieces of apricot and a small bits of cookie. I also had the cranberry ginger snap with creamy ice cream mixed with cranberry jam (?) and small chunks of ginger snaps. Both flavors were yummy! My friend had blueberry horchata and a raspberry flavored Lol I can't remember exact It was a perfect snack to get us through the afternoon!

My favorite ice cream place in the city! It seems like every few blocks in the area you'll find a place that sells ice cream, but since the first time I've walked into Weckerly's, I've only been coming back here for this delectable treat. They have a such an eclectic assortment of flavors, from the familiar-adjacent to the ones that you might think twice about how it would work in ice cream form--and yes they do samples. I believe they have seasonal flavors as well. I really enjoyed the fig basque cheesecake recently, and a coffee and donuts one. For someone who hates cloyingly sweet desserts, I think their flavors have been at a perfect level of sweetness for me. Definitely recommend checking this place out next time you have that craving!

Stepping off 16th and Locust, it's the holiday's. Nearby Monk's spills hopeful diners onto the sidewalk while Weckerly's is an oasis. Trumpet jazz playing, next sprinkling in Christmas tunes. The selection at the counter is like a holiday. Cinnamon and cranberry, rhubarb, lemon, sour cream and something....all as delicious as they are unique. Families repack strollers, buoyed by kids re-powered from ice cream, we grabbed window seats and watched revelers and shoppers pass by.

Matcha strawberry
Thuy H.

Service was great and place was very clean. However, I wasn't a big fan of the ice cream. It was waaaayyy too sweet. I tried 4 flavors and didn't like any one of them. My daughter tried a few and ended up getting the vegan matcha strawberry. It was definitely more strawberry than matcha and loaded with a ton of sugar. She did not even eat half.

Catherine A.

Great ice cream and unique flavors! I recommend the pistachio olive oil cake and brown butter yellow cake. Non dairy options are also available, along with pints of ice cream for $13. The service was very patient with us as we tried multiple flavors. It was a very cute place to sit for a midday treat, highly recommend!

Congrats to Weckerly's on this exciting location addition! A few blocks from me, beautifully decorated, bright, a handful of outdoor benches to enjoy your treats, and a spot that will hopefully stick around for years to come. The Rittenhouse ice cream scene is alive with options at this moment. Where I think Weckerly's stands out (I eat a lot of ice cream both professionally and personally) is with their care in flavor. They don't go big or outrageous for no reason, sticking to simplistic flavor combos and executing perfectly. I went with a cone of the buttercake and was blown away. As someone who loves mix-ins and a broad textural experience in my ice cream eating, this is a 10/10. Also head to Weckerly's for fabulous vegan options from sorbets to coconut creams and more. They also cater to your gluten free friends and overall do a great job denoting what's in what. The sandwiches are also not to be missed. My new go-to might be a cone for today and a sandwich for tomorrow to go. As I said, I EAT A LOT OF ICE CREAM. Thank you to Weckerly's for opening this fabulous shop.

Cherry Blossom Ice Cream Sandwich
Christopher B.

Everyone I know has been raving about Weckerly's ice cream sandwiches so I had to pop in to try. The ice cream flavor menu is extensive. So much so, that I'll need to come back to this location and try more. This time I went with the Cherry Blossom ice cream sandwich. Two thick slabs of unique flavors sealed together by a cookie (don't tell my dentist). The inside counter top or outside benches will be perfect sit, chat, people watch, and enjoy a delectable treat. Staff were also super friendly and knowledgeable. These people really enjoy ice cream.

William A.

Amazing ice cream inside a great storefront just a few steps from Monk's Cafe. That's how I discovered it.

Retna S.

I'm glad that on my second visit, there's no line. I was disappointed that the Dubai chocolate is no longer available. Update from my first review: the ice cream sandwich is available behind the register. You need to order it from the staff. I got the strawberry matcha and it didn't disappoint. The fresh strawberries are very refreshing. I also tried the Irish cream and I love it.

1. I am not an ice cream lover. 2. I am lactose intolerant, so much so that it can take me down if I have too much. Yeah, it's that bad. 3. French is one of my top 2 favorite cuisines. So when I noticed that this wasn't just any ice cream shop but French-Style ice cream I had to see what it was all about. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your body for something yummy. Lol. So what makes it French-Style? Weckerly uses a custard base, which includes egg yolks, resulting in a richer, smoother, and creamier texture. Right off the bat 5 Stars for having some of the most unique flavors. What intrigued me was that some of them were a mix of sweet and savory. If you can't decide just ask for a tiny spoon sample taste. Here is an example of their seasonal menu on this hot August day... - Buttermilk Pepper Jelly - Lavender Goat Cheese - Coconut Mango Cashew - Corn Toffee Chewy Cookie If these flavors don't excite you then I don't know what does. But what caught my eye were their homemade ice cream sandwiches. I let my son choose and he picked their seasonal Blueberry Dream. The top and bottom layers is made with chocolate cookies. Then one thick slab of cookies & cream and blueberry ice cream. The middle has a blueberry jam stripe. As I kept taking bites the thought of possibly having a tummy-ache escapes my mind. You can tastes that it's homemade. Best ice cream sandwich ever!! Omg, so so good. I did share it with my son so I was okay. I look forward to coming back when I am in the area. There are 2 locations: Rittenhouse & Fishtown (Original location)

I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why…read more I'm not from the area--in fact, I live in Los Angeles, about 2,700 miles away. My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

Inside AC is blasting (in a good way) so if you run cold, bring your jacket! I don't think the chairs are that comfy to stay long, and not very suitable to have a coffee yap with friends. If you buy their coffee beans (which is so economical!!) you'll get a free drink of choice!! I had their pumpkin spice latte w oat milk and it was tasty! Not overtly sweet and tasted like autumn and crunchy leaves! The staff seemed very nice and knowledgeable, not pretentious!

Twisted Grounds is a quiet little gem tucked away from the main hustle and bustle of the city…read more The employees are really nice and welcoming. Service is quick. It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available. Parking is on the street. Mild noise level. They have a good amount of drink options, including rotating specials, as well as pastries, bread, and misc items like granola and coffee beans. The drinks are delicious - definitely recommend their matcha. The pastries are huge, flavorful, and filling. Slightly dry but I did go right before closing. They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.

The drink was really sweet and tasted good, but I think I've officially decided I'm not a matcha fan lol.

One hell of a sleeper hit…read more Pretty much everyone in my party thought their food was great. I got the basic hotcakes and while pancakes sounded good to me, I wasn't expecting anything as good as this was. Sure, even from my photo, they look like nothing special, but I think this Little Pete's NAILS the classic American breakfast pancake. Most places get it wrong in one way - the flavor of the syrup, getting cold fast, being too soft, etc. But they got it PERFECT here. Everything was right. I'm mainly a fan of Cracker Barrel's pancakes, but those taste like they have a crack injection. This place keeps it simple, stupid - and does a damn good job at it.

We wanted to get some "Philly food" and opted for a roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich with a not so "Philly" staple, a gyro. The roast pork was a little dry, but the flavors were good. I've never had this sandwich before but it reminded me a French dip, which I love! The gyro was also very good! Large portion and great flavors, especially the tzatziki sauce! Service was a little slow, but they were busy. The restaurant was clean, but definitely an older establishment. Overall a great experience!

Each morning, I visited this café during my last visit and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate both times. One of the first things I noticed as I walked into the café was the atmosphere. It felt welcoming! My hot chocolate had the smooth richness and was great to start the morning off. There were plenty of tables to sit at in the morning. The style of the café was great with a modern and clean, yet warm enough to make those early morning hours seem somewhat purposeful, and not as rushed as they could be! If you're looking for breakfast options, it is slightly limited at this café. There were some muffins and baked goods available. My experience with El Café in The Hilton Mōttō was very good overall. I enjoyed the hot chocolate. It was rich, smooth and perfect comfort in the morning on the go. The customer service was also great! They were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

But is this a destination spot in Philadelphia for coffee? No. I'd still recommend it if someone was specifically staying here; but, also there's genuinely innnncredible coffee shops nearby. So if you're looking for ease/convenience/reliability? Yes, yes, all of that. If you're looking for something special or memorable? I don't know, probably not. And. That's. Okay.

Space: Minimalism at its core (and that really clean aesthetic here works)! There's so many places to sit: low top shared tables in the center, low top tables by the window, seats at a high bar facing the wall, seats at a high coworking space-like counter, seats outside when the weather is good. People settle in here and take their time; don't be turned off by that and don't afraid to simply grab a seat next to someone (maybe ask if it's taken, of course).
