It was freezing cold but I couldn't resist a scoop of ice cream! I got a parking space in front of Harper's when I was dropping some donations off at Community Thrift up the street. I had to pop in. I tasted a few flavors. I decided on basic chocolate lol It was creamy and chocolaty. I opted for. A kids cone which was a perfect size for me. The staff person was so nice. The store has bar seating right I. The front window. It's a great place to sit and people watch while enjoying some ice cream. read more

I have been here before for a Yelp Elite event! When I'm in the neighborhood I have to stop by. The staff is so friendly and lets you try a million flavors. Today they had 'popcorn' which sounds really weird but it works. It does taste like a sweet popcorn funny enough. My daughter got the rainbow ice which she enjoyed a lot. Very great place to get a sweet treat to beat the heat! Would def. be back when we are in the area :) read more

Have been here a couple times during the warmer weather and they some seating inside and outside. Staff is always nice and I like that the flavors are all made small batch and switch out seasonally. Loved the blueberry and oatmeal flavors I tried last year, and the olive oil and honey graham this year! The texture of the ice cream is lovely and rich but not overwhelming read more

Fantastic ice cream! The texture is so smooth and creamy, and the flavors are bold, distinct, and perfectly balanced. I tried the Blueberry Goat Cheese and it was absolutely phenomenal, tangy, sweet, and rich all at once. My family ordered Mocha Swirl, Movie Night, and classic Blueberry, and every scoop was a hit. You can really taste the quality ingredients and creativity in each flavor. Service was warm and friendly, and the shop itself has a fun, charming vibe that makes you want to linger. Highly recommend for anyone who loves ice cream done right! read more

My family and I stumbled upon Harper's after visiting a nearby playground. The area itself isn't pretty but the staff and patrons are all very nice and friendly. I've got to say that the prices blew my mind in that they were actually cheap! A kiddie scoop, which is actually quite large, was less than $4! They had around 10 flavors and we picked the butterfinger, chocolate cookie dough, and toffee drumstick. The cookie dough was unique in that the cookie bits were spread throughout the ice cream and not just circular clumps sporadically. You really got cookie dough in every bite. read more

I came to Harper's on a warm day with my roommate for a yelp event and it was a very good experience. They have special ice cream flavors such as movie theater popcorn and we specifically got the snickers. They also have a bowl for flavor suggestions which was super cute. The cashier was also very kind and provided fast service and there are several tables you can sit at as well as a bar seating area by the window. I would definitely be returning since the nicer weather is ahead. read more

Fantastic ice cream as always! The flavors are not your standard ones and they have a ton of topping options. The ice cream is also creamy and perfectly balanced while still being sweet and delicious. Service is always friendly and even with the line, it was worth the wait. They have a few tables inside and a few uncovered tables outside, definitely my favorite scoop in the city! read more

Thank you, Megan and team, for organizing such a lovely charity event to support pups! It's always wonderful to see the community come together for a great cause--plus, enjoying free ice cream makes it even better. I visited Harper's Garden, and it was an amazing experience. They offer a fantastic selection of unique and creative flavors that are a must-try. I had their Oatmeal and Raisin ice cream which was absolutely delicious--rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced. I think the raisins had rum in them, which was cool. They had several seasonal flavors that looked incredibly delicious. Great ice cream, great cause--I'll definitely be back! read more

5 stars just for the woman behind the counter. Just the sweetest person ever - she let us try as many flavors as we wanted! She also let us know that 1 scoop technically equals 2 scoops and she let us have 2 different flavors each! Awesome!! I got a scoop of Lemon Sponge Pie (with actual chunks of shortbread cookies - my favorite of the four!) and a scoop of Space Brownie (dark chocolate flavor with sprinkles etc) while my husband got PB&J (yummm!!) and Carrot cake (again, it actually had pieces of carrot cake!!). The place is quite big! There is enough space inside - I think there are 2 tables with 4 chairs each, then there are two areas either side of the entrance with high top chairs AND there are at least 2-3 patio tables for outdoor seating - definitely WAY more than I have seen at other ice cream stores. But honestly, the ice cream flavors, the hospitality, and the weather today - can't complain!! read more

The ice cream was exactly what it should be - creamy and perfectly sweet. I got the chai flavor, but it much more resembled eggnog (not complaining!). Really generous portion for a kids size as well as price. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors! read more

Not a bad ice cream parlor, but I feel like it's geared much more to kids than adults. Very very sweet ice creams. Cookies and cream one was yummy! The fruity pebbles was not my favorite--the fruity pebbles all got weirdly soggy of course. I tried a bunch of flavors before ordering, none of which really impressed me too much read more

I absolutely love Harper's. If you're looking for the best cookies and cream ice cream in town, this is your place! They also have rotating flavors that you can sample before you commit to anything. The service is always great and the staff here are super friendly. It is a dog friendly establishment as well with indoor & outdoor seating. read more

Diabetes never tasted so good. My gold standard for ice cream is cookies and cream, and Harper's makes it to spec. Want something not as basic? Get their Philly Stoop Scoop. It's fire. It's got pretzels in it, a fun texture, and a colorful flavor. YOU CAN TASTE COLORS. For maximum value, get a pint to go. Especially if you love ice cream and want more than a few scoops. Find them in Brewerytown! This brick-and-mortar is *about* a year old, if I remember right. Support your local ice cream dealers. Friendly service. Credit accepted. read more

This is one of my favorite ice cream shops in the city! I love that they focus on locally sourced ingredients, and I have picked up my farm shares here for months! They definitely are ingrained in the community. Not only that... their ice cream is out of this world excellent. They focus on scooped ice cream with interesting and classic mixtures. Most recently I tried their thin mint - chocolate mint ice cream with whole thin mints crumbled in there, and wow it blew me away. Servers are so friendly and it's clean and inviting inside. Love it here! read more

Brought my family here and everyone loved it! The staff member who helped us was very patient as we asked for multiple samples and made our final decisions. Their flavors are unique and I love how they prioritize sourcing their dairy and mix-ins locally. Plus the surprisingly reasonably prices and massive portions? Ridiculously sweet. They have a few tables and some barstool seating inside as well as a few picnic tables outside. read more

So good you don't have time to lick this flavor, you bite right I to it. I sampled a couple and ended up with the Philly stoop. Next time I'll get mocha swirl for some licking action and maybe pick a day when it's not 40 degrees out. Reasonable prices for some homemade ice cream flavors. It's of great flavors to choose from including dairy free read more

Fast friendly service. 16 different varieties, including four dairy-free options. Most common choice is cookies -& cream. I must say the caramelised banana pudding scoop I had was delicious! Tons of toppings to choose from. They also have floats, milkshakes and sundaes. Great experience. Street parking. read more

Very nice counter girl, pleasant And friendly ! Ice cream is nice a smooth and tasty , hit the spot . Went with daughter for yelp

Excellent customer service and patience from the lady behind the counter. We sampled different ice cream flavors & the sample serving size was generous! One small serving was actually about two scoops! The 3 different mints are different because one is vegan, one is regular, and one is double the chocolate. The rum flavored ice cream has real rum in it. read more

I missed out on the Yelp Elite event here bc I was out of town that week but I wanted to make a point to support them on my own time and I finally made it here this week. I tried a sample first of a jelly donut flavor and it wasn't for me. Then I just decided to get 2 scoops of 2 other flavors I had not sampled. i went w the cannoli cake and then salted caramel. Both were delish!! My bf got the peaches and cream and the strawberry and he thought they were both good too. I found it to be quite expensive (over $15 for 2 cones) but we will come back again sometime. read more

Another great small batch artisanal ice cream shop in Philadelphia, this one on West Girard Avenue in the Brewerytown neighborhood. First exposure was via the current Yelp Event granting a free scoop of their available ice cream flavors as an introduction to their amazing panoply of choices. I kvelled for the dual scoop of Strawberry and Carrot Cake creamies, finding the pink berry to be subtle, soothing and delicious, and the matrix of real carrot cake in vanilla bean to be engaging and delightful, although perhaps not as good as they would be eaten separately when the cream cheese icing would dominate. Nonetheless, the visit was rewarding with Mars providing the scooperonis with strong wrist and quick humor. I knew my family would be disappointed if I didn't think of them while in the store and bring at least one sample home. I found a pint of their private label Butter Pecan in the undersized retail freezer, and grabbed it knowing I would be welcomed home a hero for snaring her favorite flave. That was an underestimate of the response received. I couldn't tell which she loved more - the butter pecan dreamcream which was just exceptional, or me! She sure made a bigger fuss about the chill smooth dance party in her mouth, but I can't complain about how she expressed her gratitude to me later on. A win win win all around! read more

They had some good flavors although I was hoping to find mint chocolate chip today! Flavors rotate so you never know unless you call I guess. This time around it wasn't as creamy of an ice cream taste and the flavors weren't as strong in my opinion read more

Awesome new ice cream spot in the neighborhood. They have the usual flavors (cookies and cream, cookie dough, peanut butter cup) and some unique ones (birthday cake with rainbow sprinkles, blueberry pie). I recently had 2 scoops ($6) with one cookies and cream and the other cookie dough. One scoop is $4 and the scoops are generous. You can have it as a sundae or add toppings. There is some seating inside but covered tables outside, which is awesome on a beautiful day. Their ice cream is vastly superior to Philly flavors, in my opinion, and my 15 year old is obsessed! read more

Delicious ice cream! When on vacation we were trying to hit up all the good ice cream places in the area. Did not disappoint and I'd recommend it. My hubs picked up so I can't really say much else but it was good! read more

Harper's is a cute ice cream shop. The shop is quiet and with a lot of seating. Harper's offers a lot of flavors. However, Harper's does not provide many dairy-free flavors. My kids loved testing all of the flavors. They raved about the cookie-based flavors. The waiter was very patient and helpful. He took his time with flavor testing with my kids. The waiter even got my most indecisive kid to make a decision. read more

We came in on a December Thursday night and were the only ones in the store. You're able to sample any flavor you want, which was great. We ended up getting thin mint and a pumpkin, which were both delicious. The sad part about winter is that not many people are coming in for ice cream, so the ice cream itself wasn't as creamy and had some ice chunks. I've come in the summer and thought the ice cream was delicious then. Give it a try if you're in the area! read more

Great service amazing ice cream. Hope this place survives they do a great job. they even let my dog come in.

Perfect choice after biking along Schuylkill River. Nice selection and was able to sample before making a choice. Outdoor seating for all of us. read more

I love ice cream, so when my coworkers told me about newly opened Harper's and I found out it was just steps away from a brewery we were meaning to try, I had to go! Brewerytown is slowly becoming revitalized, so Harper's is a lovely addition to that and is strategically placed. We were the only ones there at the time of our visit, and the employees were so attentive and provided us excellent background on the shop and allowed us to try as many flavors as we desired (loved it). It was fall, so they had some nice seasonal flavors to try! I wound up going for the trick or treat (pumpkin flavored + candy bits) and carrot cake in a bowl (love that you can split flavors). I really enjoyed the trick or treat - it was such a unique flavor and was perfect for the season! The ice cream was a tad icier and not as creamy as I prefer for ice cream, but I really did love their flavor variety and uniqueness of the options. Almost all had "goodies" in them, which makes for the perfect scoop, in my opinion. At just $4 for a scoop, Harper's is an incredible deal, and I will certainly be back to try more of their many flavors and try to hit some spring / summer flavors! I would definitely recommend Harper's for anyone looking for a good, homemade, local scoop! read more

I love homemade ice cream spots, so I was so excited to see harpers open in Brewerytown! My first time there I got cookies and cream. It's a classic that most shops can't do right, but harpers was so good! They didn't skimp on ingredients, the cookies, or the amount of cream they used. Amazing.
