    We have been coming to Yardley Ice House for nearly 30 years. I think the sizes have gotten even smaller...if that's possible. $4 for a small ice; it can't be more than 3ozs. Crazy. And they rarely have lemon water ice on the menu - which should be a basic staple. It's just become disappointing. Our last visit was today. Other options to explore and enjoy.

    Melted sugar syrup that tastes like food dye.

    My cup of "water ice" was all water and food coloring. It's thick like syrup. No ice at all, it's beyond me why the staff would serve that and charge someone for it. $16 for a small water ice that had to be thrown away and 2 cones, one of which fell off the cone because it was so lopsided. The ice cream is not custard, it was whipped with so much air, there is not creamy thickness you normally get with custard. We've been coming for years , but this time was too much and we won't be back.

    Great spot for water ice and ice cream. There is usually a line but it moves quickly. The help is friendly and efficient. I enjoyed the mint choc chip ice this time but also love the mango! Definitely worth a try!!

    I've been to this cute local shop a few times in the past few years. I came in with friends a few weeks ago when it opened for the season. This local shop served an awesome variety of water ice flavors as well as soft serve and custard options. I am personally not a water ice fan, so I went for a custard. I ordered a Sprinkle-Dipped Cone, and a small cost me about 2.40. The employees are all very friendly, and I find that they make extra effort to provide good customer service since they're a family-owned business. My friends and I all really enjoyed our ice cream. The taste is very fresh, and water ice variety is great. For the custard, flavors are simple. You can order chocolate, vanilla, or twist. You can also get cones dipped in various coatings and toppings. Overall, I really recommend this place. It's a cute, high-quality local ice cream shop. My only critique is that I wish they had more seating around the shop.

    Hot fudge sundae

    So apparently don't get ice cream at the ice house, because you will be highly disappointed. I had super high expectations for this place merely based on the fact that they had almost a perfect yelp star rating. Then we got here and the line was down the block and that made me even MORE excited! After about 15 minutes of waiting in line, and seeing various people leave with good looking cones, I decided on ice cream instead of Italian ice. I ordered a simple vanilla hot fudge sundae with peanuts. Let's just say the peanuts were the best part....the fudge wasn't thick and chocolatey, but instead cheap tasting and the ice cream was so bland that it reminded me of a more solid version of Cool Whip. My beau got a vanilla cone dipped in chocolate was equally disappointed, and this man never says no to ice cream. If I return I will be sure to stick to the local's favorite of ONLY water ice....definitely go to McDonald's for a cheaper and more delicious sundae.

    SO GOOD! First of all Yardley is such a cute town. This spot has a good variety of water ice flavors and they all sound delicious. I went with a mango gelati and my fiancé got a cookies and cream water ice. I was definitely questioning cookies and cream as water ice but it was sooooo good I had to steal some from him. The frozen custard is perfection and the water ice is full of flavor. Will definitely be back to try more.

It is a small bright white shop with even smaller parking lot, but a perfect location for pedestrian traffic. Their flavored water ice and soft serve custard are excellent as far as my sampling discloses. The flavors differ between the two shops, and can change during the day, so be sure to inquire about alternatives not listed on the wall menu, nor on their website. I was standing at the counter about to order when I heard workers mention that one of them loved the peach cobbler. Well, I love it too, so I asked whether it was available. It was, so I quickly changed my order to Peach Cobbler water ice with Vanilla Custard. Medium cup. I asked for a top so I could drive home without spillage. The observant young counter lady seized the moment and slipped the medium plastic cup into a larger one that permitted the top to snap on the rim without damage to custard sitting on top. A bit of practical intelligence there. Yes. I loved the combo of peach cobbler and vanilla creamy custard. It was very satisfying, without being unduly sweet. The textures were engaging and a full partner to the tastes. Given the people sitting/standing around outside with cones and cups in hand, Newtown Ice House should be a smashing success.
