Stopped over with a friend the other day after an awesome Yelp event nearby. Pretty low-key spot…read moreserving the classics, as well as a few specials on the menu. I ordered a mango water ice and got to try my friend's pineapple flavor as well. I think the consistency and texture is really good - perfectly smooth, not icy or frosty at all, just wonderful. Flavor I felt was a bit too sweet for my taste, but then again, I chose mango. I wonder how it would've been if I'd chosen something with a more acidic profile like lime. That said, I'm glad we tried it, and I would certainly go back to try again if I happen to be in the area. The area is not very easy to park if you can't find a spot in the lot, I will say. Ordering and service happens at the counter, prices were pretty reasonable, and I thought the serving size was very generous. I couldn't imagine getting anything bigger than a small, unless I was sharing it with someone. Seating is outdoor, as expected for a spot that likely does most of its business in the summer, with benches and picnic tables outside.

For our first order, we got the Cookie Butter and Cookies & Cream soft serve. They offer the option to twist the flavors together, but we decided to keep them separate so we could really taste each one on its own. Both flavors were incredibly creamy and packed with flavor--it was hard to pick a favorite! The ice cream was so good that my husband immediately went back for round two. He ordered another Cookie Butter soft serve along with a Cake Batter soft serve topped with graham cracker crunch. Safe to say, they were both just as delicious as the first. Needless to say, we left completely stuffed, but it was absolutely worth it. If you're looking for a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth, Lila's Creamery & Desserts is definitely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back to try even more flavors!

It's a Black-owned ice cream spot on Easton Road in Glenside. I didn't even realize it's been there…read morefor three years. It's on a metered street, but there's a small parking lot a couple doors down, which helps. The space is nice, and Leslie (one of the owners) was super friendly and engaging. I got a pralines and cream/vanilla sundae really good, but $12 caught me off guard. Next time I'd skip the hot topping since it melted the ice cream too fast. The milkshakes (mint chocolate chip and cookies & cream/cookie dough) were really good. They also have pretzels, pretzel pizza, cookies, and plan to add more items. They have outdoor seating and even pop out to block parties and events with popcorn machines, water ice and other items which is a nice touch. They also offer churro fries which I can't wait to try the next time. I believe they may have funnel cake fries, or something like that and ice cream sandwiches gelati. You can also get them on DoorDash and Uber eats although I don't know how you would get ice cream DoorDash and Uber eats, but I guess they haven't figured out. Overall, we enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Today the 4th of April I went back to try their water ice. I got the passion fruit mango. It cost me $7. I thought that was pretty high. I don't know what the going rate in the area is, but I will say this, I don't like Ritas anymore. Their water ice no soon as you get it, It melts. CJs water ice held up. It just melted just a little. It had great flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also ordered the funnel cake fries. They were so delicious and the cashier Brooklyn assisted me she was so polite and nice.

Banana Nana opened its store in Jenkintown almost two years ago. It's been embraced by the community; my partner and I have been enjoying multiple seasonal flavors since it opened. Growing up, we only had 'Jello' brand pudding - I can't remember ever having homemade pudding. It was a pleasant surprise to see a pudding store opening in our neighborhood. Today, we got the OG Classic, Blueberry Lemon, Banana Split and Black Forest. The Black Forest combines the signature chocolate pudding, with rich chocolate cake and cherry puree. It has a chocolate drizzle on top as well which adds a great texture to the pudding. The next pudding, the OG Classic is vanilla pudding layered with vanilla wafers, fresh sliced bananas and a delicious crumble. It was my partner's favorite! My favorite was the Lemon Blueberry, a creamy banana pudding layered with fresh blueberries, a zesty lemon flavor, buttery vanilla wafers and a sweet lemon crumble topping. The last pudding, the Banana Split, was the signature vanilla pudding, layered with fresh pineapple, banana and graham cracker crumble. It was delightful, especially with the bright, crushed pineapple folded into the creamy pudding! We enjoyed all of the puddings as each had its own unique flavor and texture! We're lucky to have a great venue close by with so many luscious, homemade desserts!
