Visiting from out of town and drove by and saw this shop. It was full of people so we had to try it. Very delicious and great customer service. I see why there's always people there! read more

Asked for a small vanilla/chocolate twist custard dipped in the hard chocolate and this is what I was given lol first off, it's enormously wide, making it impossible to eat it without making a mess or having to put it in a bowl. Secondly, um was the hard chocolate running out? if so, couldn't you just have said that? instead of charging me $6 for whatever this drippy mess is? What is even more sad is that the only reason I ordered the hard chocolate is because the last time I was here i got the chocolate sprinkles and they tasted so fake or old (not sure what was the issue) that I didn't want to chance it again. I used to love Richmond's but they are either going downhill or not training their employees. Staff is nice and polite though. read more

Was craving ice cream and couldn't pass up this place since I was in the area! Of course trying pumpkin flavored foods is a must during the fall season, so I had to get the specialty pumpkin pie ice cream sundae! The portion was huge! The sundae was supposed to be a snack, but it ended up being my dinner lol. The pumpkin pie ice cream was delicious and creamy which contrasted the crispy waffle bowl. It was quite sweet and I wouldn't recommend eating the whole thing by oneself, but if you have a sweet tooth or is up to a sweet challenge, go for it! I would love to try the other specialty sundaes when I'm in the area again! :) read more

Everyone's always very pleasant there. The food is good. The ice cream is really good and it's close to my house. It's in a great location. There's plenty of parking. I'm so lucky that Richmond is near me. read more

The custard is the best! Quick service and plenty of parking. They have Philadelphia Water Ice which you can combine with custard for a gelati. Generous portions - the small was huge! read more

My wife ordered the waffle bowl sundae with hot fudge, I ordered the Heath bar shake. They gave my wife her order and my wife asked if they added the hot fudge. The person giving her the order said yes. Of course it did not have hot fudge (caramel instead). The bowl is super small and was not worth almost $10. My shake was fine, but with the price and lack of good service we won't be back. read more

"Well, shake it up, baby, now, twist and shout...you know you twist so fine...!" It was a Sunday afternoon in August. We were getting gas next door and this soft serve sign caught our attention!! Soft serve is my favorite! If I see an ice cream stand in my travels, you better believe I'll be making a pit stop! How happy I was to have discovered Richman's! No lines, we walked right up to the window and despite all the ice cream choices on the colorful menu, I knew what I wanted! Kiddie twist, chocolate and vanilla cone with chocolate jimmies! Yaaasssss! They call them "jimmies" up north which is what I'm used to saying! I grew up in the north but when I moved down south to VA, they called those delicious bits of confection "sprinkles" and never knew what I was talking about when I said I wanted "jimmies" as my topping. Some folks call them "ants". Whatevs! I call them a must on my cone!! It was good to feel at home! My daughter and I share a lot in common, even ice cream! We were served quickly and efficiently by two sweet young gals. One of them even offered to snap our photo! The place was clean and had a cute little spot outside with tables and umbrellas to sit and devour your fav treat! The price was on point! Our cones were crunchy and fresh and the ice cream was creamy and tasty with a smooth texture. For the kiddie portion, it was very satisfying! "You know you look so fine..." and you were yummy down to the last bite! read more

Absolutely terrible service, went 30 minutes before they closed and when we got there a very disrespectful young lady rudely gestured us that they were closed. Make sure to come up very early or they might be closed. read more

Great ice cream and fast service despite the crowds. Loved the old school atmosphere!

this place is fantabulous. Why else would one drive 6 miles to partake? Reasonable. Good ice cream and seating outside. Its a summer tradition for me. read more

Pretty yummy! Seems like a local hotspot which I like (all about supporting local businesses). The woman who served me both visits was super sweet. On my second visit, I got sprinkles (+75¢) on my gelati (bc I'm excessive) and she gave me a little bowl of extra sprinkles because they kept falling off... I didn't even ask! :) thank you! read more

I prefer this ice cream to Rita's, which seems to be most people's go to. The prices aren't bad and you get a lot of ice cream.

Do not go early afternoon for their delicious Hot Dogs. The young girl only handles ice cream. 2:20 pm Monday 5/22/2023 she said she doesn't know how to fire up the grill. The young girl was there by herself. The other people in line only got ice cream. read more

Richman's Ice Cream - Having a milkshake with the Philly Phanatic at Richmans - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

VARIETY. That's the one thing I can take away from this place. SO. MUCH. VARIETY. They've got it all, really. Soft serve, hard ice cream in varying flavors, water ice, gelato, and food (like chili dogs and stuff). I got a soft serve small cone that was about the size of my face. Seriously, WHY SO BIG?? Next time I'll order a kid size and see if that's more appropriate. I also got some salted caramel pretzel ice cream to take home with me. It was pretty darn good! Overall, this place is great and will hit the spot no matter what you're craving. It's also not a chain, so you can feel good about buying local! read more

The truth is, it's hard to not like ice cream places in general. I mean, unless they have no selection, completely rude staff, and a horrible appearance, they're going to always get a minimum of three stars since in the end, ice cream is awesome. But can they set themselves apart as special? So here's the deal with this place. I'm not normally a soft serve guy. I don't dislike it. I just prefer hand dipped. After seeing reviews here, and after seeing someone walk away from the window here with a soft serve cone that was huge and awesome, I went for a large chocolate dipped twist cone. The soft serve here is better than a lot of places. You can definitely taste the richness. After devouring a large cone which was huge, I wanted to eat another one. That got them a 4th star. Only reason they didn't get 5 is that I usually reserve 5 stars for places like Handel's in Berwyn that are truly special with ice cream. This place is more basic but that has its advantages. I'll be back. read more

Due to the gorgeous weather today, my friend and I decided to take a walk down memory lane and grab ice cream like we used to do in high school. After checking Yelp, we saw Richman's was a decent looking ice cream place less than a mile from the shopping center we were in. The one employee got through the small line pretty quickly, even though she admitted that there should have been someone else there to help but they were injured and apologized for the (nonexistent) wait. My friend and I each got small sized cones and they were huge! Seriously generous portions! And jimmies on top because you know, that's how we roll! The price and service seemed fair for what we got; I wouldn't mind going again sometime! read more

The lines weren't very bad, but the service was so slow! That was the only downfall when we went for our after dinner treat. I saw the lady in front of me order a small size cone and it was HUGE! So, I got a kiddie size and it was still big! I had to scrap most of it off bc I was getting so full and wanted some of the cone. I ordered myself the new orange creme swirl and my son had the vanilla and chocolate swirl. Both were very very good! Nice and creamy and oh so delicious! After this night of icecream, my son keeps requesting more. Lol. I wonder if they're open year round? Prob not, so I will have to make sure I go back before they close for the winter. read more

Was so disapppointed here. Wanted to love it but really just ended up being wasted calories. We ordered two of their sundaes and they were both made totally wrong rendering them unenjoyable to eat. I had a bannana split and was specific about wanting the strawberry topping over the strawberry ice cream and the pineapple topping over the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate topping over the chocolate ice cream. I felt almost silly asking for that since it seems obvious that is how you would make it but not the case. The pineapple topping was over the chocolate and the chocolate topping was over the vanilla etc. To make matters worse there was way too much topping used and hot fudge which just melted everything. It was a gloppy goopy mess. After five minutes of trying to salvage it I threw probably 70% of it out. It wasn't worth the calories at that point. The other sundae was also bizzarely made. It was a cookie sundae and the hot fudge and sprinkles were put on top of an already sweet cookie and the actual vanilla ice cream had nothing on it. read more

Delicious! Their water ice and ice cream are to die for. The water ice isn't as smooth as Rita's, but it's full of flavor. I'll definitely be making it a habit to go here more often. Their prices are very reasonable and the customer service is adequate. My only negative comment would have to be that their parking lot could be a bit bigger for how popular they are, but just keep that in mind when you go! read more

I officially found one of my favorite ice cream spots in Delaware County. Richman's has scoopable ice cream (hard serve??), soft serve ice cream, sundaes and much more. The ice cream itself is just so creamy and delicious. It's as if the cows who helped to provide the milk that made the cream were pampered. My favorite flavor is Birthday Cake. It's vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, yellow cake and the blue icing you would normally see on a traditional birthday cake. Many places serve this flavor, but it is usually hit or miss...most of the time it's more miss than hit. Well, not here. My wife, who normally hates this flavor, absolutely loves it. Whenever I get it, I'm forced to allow her to dip her spoon in my cream. Mint chocolate chip, a classic flavor, is also great. So is cookies and cream. One of the great things about this place is that it seems like every Sunday from 12pm - 3pm, they give away free ice cream. Richman's is new to the area, so I doubt this offer will be a weekly thing, but for right now, it's definitely bringing in the customers. The lines are pretty long during this time period. I guess it's worth the wait, but I rather go when the lines are "normal" and pay $2 for my ice cream. I hate lines. If you're in Prospect Park or near Prospect Park and you have a desire for ice cream, I definitely recommend Richman's. In fact, if you're travelling on I-95 (North or South), get off exit 9B for Prospect Park. Richman's is literally right off of I-95. There's a Sunoco gas station right across the street. Fill the tank and then treat your stomach to some good ice cream. If you do decide to go, to use lines from the Jackson 5 song, "just call my name and I'll be there." read more

Love Richmonds! Not much of an ice cream person but when I do want it, I go there. Their orange cream ice cream is the best along with their mint chocolate chip milkshake. It is the perfect consistency and you can see them make it. Not your fake milkshake with flavoring. Had their fries, which weren't bad but I wish they used better cheese. I think they use a whiz that doesn't have a great taste and is salty. They are really nice and friendly and I like that if the weather is nice, they stay open later in the year. I literally counted down in 2015 because they kept pushing the closing (for winter) back a few days because it was nice out. Looking forward to getting a milkshake soon! read more

Richman's Ice Cream - Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

Yum! First time I had a gelati. First time I tasted Philadelphia water ice and combined with soft serve - perfect on this beautiful day.

I remember this place from years back when it was the Dairy Treat. If you're traveling on 420 or 95 and are in the vicinity of Prospect Park and have a hankering for ice cream, this is where you get off, literally. Yummy treats and friendly service, so I have no complaints there. On the day my hubby and I visited a few months ago, we had just finished hiking at nearby John Heinz and wanted ice cream, so we came here. We were the only patrons who weren't tattooed. The tats notwithstanding, the clientele looked a little shady. On a subsequent visit, as we ate our ice cream, we watched the police haul away an unruly drunk from the dive bar across the street. I suppose these occurrences say something for the sad state that Delco is falling into nowadays...just saying... But the ice cream is great, and I recommend a visit to Richman's. read more

I went here based on Reem C.'s review. He was dead on with the Birthday Cake ice cream. It will put you in a sugar coma with a deadly but delicious combination of sweet blue frosting, fluffy pieces of vanilla cake and chewy rainbow sprinkles. I already have been back about three times just to get this ice cream again. I recommend the cup over the cone though because they load it up high and it's likely to topple over and/or drip all over you. Blue looks good on the ice cream, but not on my shirt. The menu here is huge. They have more of a variety than the other places. There is water ice, ice cream, frozen yogurt, soft serve, sundaes, and dipped cones. All of these items are available in a large variety of flavors. You can even take a pint of the scoopable ice cream home if you wish. The people who work here are really friendly which is an added bonus. There are a few picnic tables on either side of the building to enjoy your ice cream at. However, there is a lot of trash laying around the area which is my only pet peeve. For scoopable ice cream in the area, Richman's can't be beat! read more

Terribly overpriced. $6-7 bucks for a sundae, 5 bucks for a milkshake, 4 bucks for a small cone. Are we in New York? What's up with these prices? They charge .89 cents to add Jimmies to your cone or sundae. The counter staff is very slow and does not care at all about their job. Avoid the pretzels and cheese like the plague! Cheese is flavorless glue, pretzels are very dry! read more

WAYYYY better than Rita's. The texture of the water ice is creamy and satisfyingly icy. I got a cotton candy gelati with vanilla soft serve ice cream but they have 11 different flavors of soft serve ice cream! My gelati was delicious and huge!! Very inexpensive as well. Will definitely be back. read more

Richman's Ice Cream - This is a small!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

Richman's is a solid place to get some ice cream on a hot summer's night. I've been here a handful of times over the summer and haven't been disappointed once. The arctic blast (aka Blizzard) is usually what I'm ordering, is pretty large for the price, and only come in one size (sometimes a bummer when you only want a taste - we all know this doesn't taste the same when you put in the freezer!). More recently, I had a black and white milkshake which was super thick and super delicious! The servers are always plentiful and courteous, which keeps the lines moving. I'd check out Richman's if you're in the area in search of a quick dessert! read more

Came here based on the great reviews and my love for local, small business. We ordered two cones, one had a big hair in it and had to be redone. No excuses for that. The moose tracks ice cream was a double scoop with the bottom one smaller than the top one, almost careening over. The red velvet flavor had a very artificial taste to it. Portions are generous. Not sure I would return here. read more

The business sells gift cards, but on (at least 4) every occasion for the previous 3 weeks the establishment cannot honor the gift card. It appears gift card equipment is faulty and is not being repaired any time soon. Upon conversation with the employees, there is no course of action and the management is not responsive or chooses not to provide a resolution on what to do with this useless gift card. I suggest you avoid purchasing gift cards. read more

This place is awesome! I agree, the birthday cake ice cream is just beyond delicious! The soft-serve is also amazing, I love that it is thick and creamy. Everything here is so big, and the prices are not bad, especially for the quality! The best and the worst part is that it is only right down the street from me! The temptation is so hard to overcome! There is nothing bad that I could say about this place. I grew up loving the Dairy Treat (it's former name), and this place is a vast improvement! I want to try everything on the menu! read more
