I recently went to get the waffle sundae and the owner/staff were so kind and friendly! Delicious ice cream and reasonably priced

We had just finished dinner in Glenside and were walking back to our car when we noticed a little ice cream store. Dreams. We both LOVE ice cream, so we stopped in. The first thing I noticed was the disarray and lack of cleanliness in the store - frankly, it's a mess....which made me think twice about getting ice cream there. Nonetheless, I got a scoop of coffee. It was very tasty - I pretty much eat Haagen Dazs exclusively for both its taste and price. I can usually get a pint at Walmart for between $3-$4. This coffee ice cream had a little different coffee taste than Haagen - which I liked. However, it didn't seem as creamy, which was fine. My partner got the chocolate, which she said was average. One scoop was a little over $5, which is about average these days for your stand alone ice cream shops. While I was satisfied with the taste of my cone, I probably won't go back until they 'clean up' the store. read more

I've come here before this place offers a vegan options with some of my family members partaken. They have a pretty good selection of things. The staff is always nice and friendly. The prices are a little expensive Their street parking the store is very small so not too many people can be inside at one time. Overall I like this place and the fact that they haven't vegan option makes it even better so we will be using the plant based family members come into town and ice cream. read more

We order from them a lot Delicious non- dairy options!! Love them as our perennial go to. Yummy!

The place is very small and a little hard to find but it's definitely worth a visit. I came with my family about 30 minutes before they were scheduled to close. The two workers were very friendly and helpful. They even allow you to sample different flavors to help narrow down your choices. They have so many great flavors to choose from. We are a family of five and all of us were very happy with our choices. Will come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

My boyfriend lives in glenside and every time I visit I see this cute little ice cream shop on the way to our fav dinner spot! he hasn't been so we went and tried it for the first time together! I had my heart set on the waffle sunday so we had that with mint chocolate chip brownie batter that the lady gave us a sample of, coffee, rocky road, and chocolate pb. It was fantastic!! the sunday is topped with whipped cream, cherries, sprinkles, and I think a chocolate sauce! The service was amazing and the ice cream was delicious! we will be going here from now on when we want ice cream! read more

Literally the G O A T !!! Greatest Of All Time!!!!!! delicious creamy icecream, lots of flavors. read more

Very creamy ice cream. Friendly service. Very expensive, over $10 for a two scoop cone.

You might have the new local realtor on your side but your "ice cream scoop shop" is sketch. And that's going easy on this joint. During our visit we managed to get poor service and borderline acceptable ice cream. I feel lucky that I escaped without some kind of serious food borne illness. I would be very curious to view what the health board reports are on this place in the past few years. This place is a bodega. Repeat after me: BO-DE-GA. Many other scoop shops in the area to even entertain EVER going back to this dumpster fire of a business. read more

Came here again today and ice cream was still freezer burnt and it was $15 for 3 scoops of ice cream with whipped cream. Won't be back. Too expensive and quality not good. Shame because the staff are nice, and it's a cute location. read more

Super cute ice cream shop with incredible selection of flavors. It was a little expensive but what isn't lately? The staff were super nice. We will be back. read more

$17.00 dollars for a milkshake!!!! Never in all my life would I have ever expected to pay $17.00 dollars for an overspun, middle of the road, basic banana pudding milkshake. I made the mistake of placing the order without knowing the price. I think I looked at the board and convinced myself it was less because the actual price is beyond ridiculous. Imagine my shock. And on top of that, they have the audacity to ask for a tip but I guess if you're willing to pay a total of $16.91 you may as well round up to $20. Never again!!! read more

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Dreams. The proprietors are probably the most welcoming and friendly people we've ever met. And their ice cream (especially the vegan flavors) are so delicious and creamy. It's without a doubt the best vegan ice cream I've ever had and, being lactose intolerant, I've sampled plenty in my day. I had vanilla and chocolate peanut butter. I couldn't tell the difference from dairy ice cream. Surprisingly it was not overly sweet and had no aftertaste like the majority of vegan ice creams I've had. My husband had the rum raisin and chocolatefudge brownie. It was so good he considered going back for another double scoop cup. If you live in the area or happen to be going to the Keswick, bypass the place next to the theater and head over to Dreams. You won't be disappointed. We'll probably do a road trip from Bristol in a few week. Yes, it's that good! read more

I love the ice cream options available at this shop. I ordered the vegan almond bark sundae and got to select three toppings (vegan almond whipped cream, crushed waffle pieces, and wet walnut) to go along with three scoops. Sundaes are half priced on Sundays, and they have other promotions going on throughout different days of the week. The vegan ice cream's texture is not as creamy as some big brand non-dairy ice creams that I've had but it is still very delicious. I love how friendly and talkative the staff members are. I had a good experience on my first visit and I'll be sure to come back and taste the other plant-based menu options! I feel so lucky to have found a vegan-friendly ice cream shop. I strongly recommend coming here for your ice cream/milkshake needs if you're vegan, lactose intolerant, or plant-based. read more

Love the atmosphere at this place! Great ice cream? Of course! Snacks? You bet! Vegan options? Hooray! Indeed! Also, we love their hours!

This is a little hidden gem! I actually came across it on Ubereats.. but I looked it up and realized it wasn't too far from where we lived so we went to check it out. We got a little lost trying to locate it by way of google but it didn't take long to find. It's a cute little shop with friendly staff. The menu was a bit much for someone like me... there are just so many options lol I had A hard time choosing what to get... I'm the end I ordered a sundae and it was totally worth the price! Absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back and try something different! read more

I was hoping for a pleasant dream - but this was expensive & disappointing. Ice cream shouldn't have ice crystals within the mixture. And I can't imagine anyone ordering a milkshake for $19.99. Staff is friendly and there are LOTS of choices. read more

This place is Ice Cream heaven!!!! Anything you want that have and more ! The beautiful smile you get from the staff is the cherry on top of the ice cream cake! Go check them out ! read more

This is the best ice cream I've had since moving to Wyncote. It's a small shop but there are so many flavor choices and the woman running it is absolutely the sweetest person. read more

Had a simple order. 2 small cups. 2 different flavors. 1 with hot fudge. The girl doing the scooping was nice but moved at a snails pace. So disappointing that the hot fudge was a squeeze bottle that she put in the microwave. Who knows how many times that bottle has been heated and cooled. The girl at the register couldn't figure out what to charge despite the simple order. It took her literally 4-5 minutes to ring me in and that was after asking the other girl twice what I bought while i stood there with my ice cream melting. Worst of all, the owner is sitting outside scrolling on his cell phone while the store is busy and employees who aren't trained are struggling. I want to support small local businesses but this makes it nearly impossible. read more

Today's visit wasn't as good as my first visit. The guy scooping was friendly but was skimpy with the scoops and didn't seem to know what he was doing when making a sundae for my mom. The last time I came, the woman with the very long and pretty black eye lashes gave us very nice side portions that were worth the price paid. Maybe the guy needs to be trained more so he learns how to scoop ice cream- idk. But the ice cream is tasty enough to come back again. read more

Exceptionally helpful staff. Free tastings. Hugh portions. Dozens of flavors to choose from

Recently went vegan, so the occasional evening banana split/sundae cravings can get complicated if I'm away from home. When I yelp searched vegan sundaes while visiting my sister one evening, this place came up in the results. They were the only spot open til 10 during Covid, and they happened to have 4 flavors of vegan ice cream, so I floored it there to arrive before 10pm for my fix. Everyone working in the jawn had a super fun, upbeat & sociable vibe, which made the atmosphere a pleasure. $17 and change later, I was diving into a vegan banana split with 3 flavors ....vanilla, cookies & cream, and I think chocolate. I got the works....wet walnuts, hot fudge, extra cherries & sprinkles on it. It was definitely big enough of 3 people, but I ended up devouring 1/2 of it in the parking lot (& freezing the rest). Was told they deliver ice cream without melting to Mt. Airy as well! craving satisfied Will definitely be back ! read more

It's a cool family owned place, Ice cream is good like this place better than corporate owned..... They pay attention to their customers I like that! read more

I want to give five stars to the entire staff who work and serve the ice cream and treats at Dreams. Always greeted with smiles, patience while you decide and the ice cream and water ice are above average. A bit expensive but as a treat, well worth it. read more

Great selection Went in with a party of 5 and the workers went above and beyond to make sure everyone got what they wanted. Offering samples and recommendations. Great little gem in the neighborhood. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the area. Ice cream is delicious and always new flavors to try. Also has a good assortment of vegan ice creams. Great staff. read more

Nice selection of flavors, but also the ice cream had a icy texture rather than creamy. Overall still tasted good. Staff was very nice and offered samples. read more

Dreams has 30 different flavors running the entire ice cream gamut, and I still settle on the tried and true mint chip. As I told my spouse, any place can attempt to impress from sheer breadth of flavors, but a true gem lives and dies by the staples. Needless to say this did not disappoint. Green as it should be and an appropriate amount of chips, not excessive, not inadequate. We shall return! read more

Dreams Ice Cream Factory At Glenside - Green Mint Chip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Glenside, Pennsylvania

Went to Dreams after some minigolf. The place was much smaller than I was expecting, but was really nice inside. The staff were incredibly helpful and offered us a few free trials. I went with a death by chocolate sundae. Two scoops for me and three toppings. Although all of the ice cream was really good, I don't think I'd ever get a sundae here again. No hot fudge? No cherry on top either? Cones, shakes or specialty donut sandwiches in the future for me then... This didn't have an effect on my rating at all, but there was a check-in offer for free iced coffee. It was late, but we thought we would share it. We redeemed the offer and then the cashier pauses and says we don't have ice. I said, that's fine, but then she went to the fridge and paused. I knew what was coming next... Before she could talk, I said don't worry about it. She felt horrible, because there was no coffee left either... I really didn't mind, because I wasn't expecting to order that anyways. I actually felt a little bit bad for them. read more

We decided to come here after playing mini golf because it was listed as some of montcos best ice cream. It was a tiny ice cream store, but decorated cute outside. The staff were very friendly and asked if I wanted to sample flavors. I was very impressed with the tiramisu flavor. I tried birthday cake too and that was good as well, both extremely creamy and flavorful. I ended up ordering a sundae with tiramisu, birthday cake, and cookie monster ice cream. I was slightly dissapointed they didn't offer hot fudge as a topping. My sundae came with 3 toppings so I got it with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles. Most places don't count whipped cream and cherry as a topping, they usually automatically come with it. So really it was like I only got 1 or 2 toppings. We also had a yelp offer for a free iced coffee but they didn't have any left. They did feel really bad about it though, but we said it was ok. It was kinda late and it probably would have kept us awake anyway. It was very good ice cream. I would come back if we're in the area, but I think I might just get a cone next time. Maybe also some ice cream pints to take home if they offer it, hopefully they do. read more

We stopped here today for a quick dessert after lunch. It's a quaint little spot that you could easy drive past without noticing. There is limited seating outside so on a busy day you may not be able to get a seat. Luckily today there was plenty of seating! The cashier/ice cream server was very friendly and helpful. She allowed us to try a few flavors and offered suggestions. We took advantage of the $5 for $10 voucher being offered through Yelp. With the voucher we were able to get 1-one scoop cone and 2-two scoop cones for only $5. I got the mint chocolate chip ice cream which so was creamy! This is one of the many tasty flavors they other such as Cookie Monster (cookie dough chunk with Oreo cookies in a blue dyed vanilla ice cream). I don't think it's a question of whether or not I will visit again, rather when I will visit again. read more

Dreams is one of the few places I've ordered from on Grubhub that I've never had a single problem with LOL. After a bad experience the other night having gotten excited for Chinese food, ordering food from a place in Roxborough (which isn't far from me at all) and having them cancel it because the delivery driver "said I lived too far"..but me not finding out it was canceled til TWO HOURS LATER and everything else was CLOSED, Grubhub gave me a 20 pct off coupon..which really is a pathetic remedy for the hassle their problems have caused me. In any case, I decided to use them to order a milkshake from Dreams. Last summer I really became addicted to Dreams' milkshakes. They are SO good. I can't even believe there's an ice cream store that DELIVERS..such a thing is what makes life worth living. Lately, though, I've been trying to cut down on sugar. Still, I thought maybe an ORGANIC vegan milkshake wouldn't be THAT unhealthy. I ordered one with the vanilla almond bark, and bits of waffle cone added. It was SO good. I was slurping til I couldn't slurp anymore, and then used a spoon to dig out what was left after the yummy coconut milk mixer was gone. I'm afraid that now I've re-ignited my addiction. I wish there was Dreams ice cream rehab :/ Thank you DREAMS for never letting me down! read more

I gotta say this place has some great ice cream - my only hold back is that it is a tad pricey. I have tried a plethora of things here, as they do offer great variety - milkshakes, coffee & ice cream, banana- based ice cream, and a huge selection of specialty flavors! Creative flavors include: Death By Chocolate, Cookie Monster, etc. and they all look so fun and taste so great! My personal recommendation is the banana cream with mixed berry flavor - it's so tasty, healthy and fresh! I have both been in-store and ordered delivery (they deliver into late hours of the night to satisfy your late night sweet tooth!!) and I will say delivery was the way to go for me. Delivery was pretty low in cost and very quick in arrival! The in-store experience was good, with an adorable building, but very tiny! I can't find a place to sit when there is a bit of a crowd (there is about 10 seats max) , so this is the place to go if you want to-go ! Overall this is a sweet spot for a sweet treat fix, however this is not a place to chill ! read more

So much love for Dreams Ice Cream Factory! Dreams is the most adorable little ice cream shop on Glenside ave. If you blink you'll miss it so make sure you keep your eyes peeled, because you don't want to miss out on this ice cream. I did a little research after my visit and saw on their website that they serve the "best authentic and locally grown treats in the region." Its awesome that they use local ingredients and of course the ice cream is amazing. On my last visit, me and a group of friends stopped here on a Tuesday night after an event at school. There were about 8 of us and the shop is small like I said, but we all fit inside comfortably. The staff was very warm and welcoming and worked efficiently to get all of our orders ready. I can seriously not say enough about the staff! The owner is so genuine and really does follow through with the mission of the company which is to "encourage people to dream." He took a photo with us during our visit and posted it on the business's social media pages with the sweetest caption. Now onto the best part: The ice cream of course! I ordered the Peanut Butter Cup Fudge milkshake. Anybody who knows me knows that when it comes to my ice cream, I always choose some combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Of course, It was delicious!! (As if I even need to say it!) Another thing that I find awesome about Dreams is that they deliver! If you are craving ice cream at 9:00 on a Saturday, but don't want to leave your house, Dreams has got you covered. They will literally bring you any ice cream you like right to your front door. Seriously can it get any better?? I without a doubt recommend checking this place out. Don't even hesitate! I will definitely continue to return to Dreams Ice Cream Factory for years to come. All around great people and great ice cream. I really can't say enough! read more

It's hot and humid out, and I thought, what better way to start my Fourth of July 4-day weekend than with some homemade ice cream from the new shop down the road! Dreams Ice Cream Factory is located about 100 yards from the Glenside train station, in a cute little toy-like house. Apparently, this place used to be Glen Dobbins Ice Cream Shoppe before they closed down. I don't really know what happened (I'm new to this area), but Dreams just opened up last week and that's all that really matters- 'cuz it's SO GOOD!! They sell a good variety of ice cream flavors, in addition to water ice, milkshakes, sundaes, and FUNNEL CAKE (which I'll have to try next time). I had their salted caramel, and it was delicious! A friend tried some of mine, and opted to get the same after the taste. Another friend had the birthday cake flavor, and she really enjoyed it as well. The prices were pretty reasonable- I paid $3.18 for two scoops. They do have waffle cones/bowls and toppings for a bit extra too. There's just something extra special about homemade ice cream, ya know? And I'm really glad this place opened up in the neighborhood... although my health might say otherwise! read more
