    Raspberry & Candied Almond Ice Cream Sandwich Brown Butter Yellow Cake
    Connie H.

    Cute little ice cream shop! Great service, fantastic ice cream. You can tell that they put the care into their craft. I love that you can try samples and the split scoop concept for when you're not feeling a whole scoop of just one flavor. The ice cream sandwiches are where it's at though.

    We stopped at Weckerly's in a desperate attempt to escape the Philly heat and humidity. This summer has been BRUTAL. The dew point has been running it up like a 2006 Kobe Bryant. 35.4 points a game in 2006!? Kids these days could never understand... We walked into a pretty packed shop, as ice cream is a high dew point's only known weakness. The first flavor I locked in on was "Tomato Strawberry Sorbet w/ Candied Olives." I just stood there staring at it, rereading it. Taking it in. What kind of flavor is that?? Tomato and Strawberry together??? It was the only tub of ice cream that was untouched. Naturally, I had to try a little spoon of it. I wanted to go where no one else from the human race had gone. I felt like Neil Armstrong allegedly stepping foot on the moon. Before trying, I asked the employee how this flavor even came about. She said "I don't know, our chef just comes up with them and tries them out..." How could I not respect that? Food is such a sneaky creative endeavor. You can really have some fun with it. As the spoon approached my mouth, I was ready to cringe due to my tastebuds being violated, but it was honestly pretty fire. The light tomato flavor complimented a strong strawberry taste. Two things I would never have thought went together. There's a life lesson in there somewhere. I ended up just getting vanilla soft serve though, because that's my goto. I'm a simple guy. It was pretty mid, I should have just got a scoop of that tomato strawberry sorbet w/ candied olives but hindsight is always 20/20. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    New scoop shop of a wonderful Philly-made business. You will be drawn in by the smell of freshly pressed waffle cones and wowed by their unique ice cream flavors. I tried their Dubai Chocolate and, not to be dramatic, but it was life-changing. In addition to dairy scoops, they also have pints, plenty of vegan options, sorbets, ice cream sandwiches and coffee. I like the flow and spaciousness of this new shop. It's bright inside and primely located on the corner of 16th and Spruce. Since they just opened, service is friendly but a little disorganized (to be expected). I was happy they kindly and happily accommodated samples even though there was a long line. Scoops are on the pricey end but it's premium! I look forward to returning once the crowds cool down. This is going to be a busy shop.

    One of my fave places. First knew about them when they were only a food cart. Then they started distributing at green line cafe, then they had their shop. Closed their shop, then someone else bought their shop and brought its glory back. During an earlier Yelp Elite series, I have a hard time deciding between Weckerley's, Milk Jawn, and Harper's. I love all of them but Weckerley's gets a slight edge for me. I only give them 4 stats because I think they need a clause on their website and IG that says that hours are subject to change. I can respect that a business wants to close early on a non-weekend and non-Friday if they aren't making a lot or don't have enough help but then put that in. I even tried to call today and the phone was too busy and I had to take my chances for the drive. Some of the fast food places have amounted to closing shop early because of lack of help and this reminded me that maybe times have changed and I am getting old. There is minimal seating but it is enough. Good food is important to me but so is reasonable accessibility.

    FOOD We had their chai and fudge brownie flavors. Both were incredibly rich and creamy. The spices of the chai were exceptional and blended well-- the cinnamon and cloves powerful punches without overdoing it. The brownie flavor was rich and a little bit on the sweeter side than I personally would have liked it, and the brownie pieces added a great chewy texture to the smoothness of the ice cream. I'd definitely be back to try their sandwiches if in the area again! SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. We tried a couple samples before selecting the flavors for our order. I would definitely mention if you have allergies as they simply rinse the spoons between scooping flavors. AMBIANCE There is limited seating (by window or under menu) available inside the shop. People usually ordered and ate outside at the bench in front of the store or standing. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

    Strawberry Shortcake

    Stop by for Yelp Elite event. I was little bit early on Saturday morning before 12 but they still offered me the ice cream. I chose the Strawberry Shortcake and it was delicious. I was picking up my daughter to come home for the weekend. We both enjoyed the ice cream!

    (Top to Bottom): Cook's Coffee Cake and Apple Breakfast Ice Cream Sandwiches
    Leta Z.

    I had been meaning to try Weckerly's Ice Cream for some time because one of my friends touted it as his favorite place to get ice cream in Philly. So my husband and I decided to grab an after dinner treat after having had dinner at Cheu Fishtown, which is in walking distance. Weckerly's is a small shop with limited seating (one circular table of cocktail table height and window seating with two chairs), which is nice to nab if you can, especially if the weather outside is too cold or too hot. Because it was quite chilly outside when we went, my husband and I grabbed the window seating to do some people watching while we enjoyed our ice cream sandwiches. I ordered the Apple Breakfast, which was cinnamon toasted oat ice cream with house made apple butter between wheat-free oatmeal cookies. I liked that the ice cream wasn't too sweet because sometimes, with ice cream shops that mix a lot of different flavors into their ice cream, the ice cream can sometimes be too decadent and/or overly sweet. The inclusion of the apple butter gave the ice cream sandwich a nice balance with the slightly tart, slightly sweet flavor. And I am a huge fan of all the different textures at play: the jammy texture of the apple butter combined with the creamy ice cream nestled between two thin, chewy cookies. My husband ordered the Cook's Coffee Cake, which was Caphe Roasters' Coffee ice cream topped with chocolate ganache and coffee cake crumb between cinnamon sugar cookies. I don't like chocolate nor am I a coffee drinker so I didn't try much of his ice cream sandwich but I do like coffee flavored desserts so I decided to try a bit of the ice cream. The coffee flavor was very strong so if you like to drink coffee, this ice cream sandwich might be right up your alley. Some things to note: The ice cream sandwiches are quite large so I would recommend sharing them with someone or inquiring about the Mini Ice Cream Sandwich. Also, their partner, Lil Pop Shop recently closed their storefront but Weckerly's still sells their popsicles so something to keep in mind if you are in the mood for a different kind of frozen treat. Lastly, they change up their flavor offerings regularly so keep an eye on their Instagram (@weckerlys) for any updates. Would I go back? : Maybe but probably not. If anything, I might stop in for a Lil Pop Shop pop. Weckerly's Ice Cream's ice cream consistency is very creamy and rich, which I don't personally prefer. I'm more partial to the consistency of Milk Jawn's ice cream and their flavor variety. But this is purely my personal preferences which is why Weckerly's is more accurately a 3.5 for me. Although, I can see why they're a community favorite, having seen several people come in on a winter's night during the short period of time I was there enjoying my ice cream sandwich.

    Walked into this cute, small ice cream shop located near all the bars and restaurants in Fishtown, making it the perfect dessert stop! We snagged two scoops of their specialty summer flavors, the blueberry crumble and raspberry graham cracker. Both flavors were fresh and fruity, yet not too sweet. Service was quick and staff was friendly! Highly recommend for a refreshing lil treat!

    Weckerly's is the best. Stopped in on a Saturday around 5pm and was SO excited to try one of their ice cream sandwiches for the first time. I went with the turtle power sandwich that includes caramel swirl sweet cream ice cream & butter pecan sweet cream ice cream with cocoa cookie crumble on chocolate cookies with pecans (yes I did copy paste that from the website so I could recall every sweet detail and ooooooo baby did it deliver!) Honestly a can't miss experience in Fishtown. Take it and go for a walk or enjoy inside of their small storefront. Will be stopping by whenever I am in Fishtown and look forward to many more Weckerly's trips.

    Average Ice cream sandwich
    Jess D.

    With all the amazing ice cream shops in Philly, it's tough to stand out. I would say Weckerlys is Mid. It's not the best but it's average. It's also going to face some competition now that more ice cream shops are opening in Fishtown so I don't think I will return. Prices are average, service is solid, ice cream is OK.

    The Sammie was delicious

    The ice cream was amazing! I had the Sammie ice cream sandwich and absolutely loved it! The service was amazing! Will definitely be going back!

    Lemon Berry Graham

    The Lemon Berry Graham flavor is to die for!! So delicious and a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The girl behind the counter was sweet and courteous.

    Philadelphia has several excellent small batch ice cream platforms for your tasty enjoyment. Weckerly's on Girard Avenue in Fishtown, is one of them. I was recently there for a Yelp Event where we sampled a scoop of one of two available flavors. It was smooth, silky, sweet and addictive. In addition, I purchased a take home Classic Sandwich (Vanilla ice cream between Chocolate Wafers), which was even more compelling that the Graham Berry concoction tasted while in the house. The sandwich was thick with 'scream - more than an inch wide - while the choco layer was stable enough to hold the opus together and last to the very last lickin' bite. The vanilla was creamy and inviting; while the wafer offered a soft embrace with mild flavor that did not dominate their combination. Family loved it, too. Made me wish I had started with those other mixtures which were definitely the best way to experience what Weckerly's really had to showcase. Apple Breakfast, or any flavor between shortbread cookies....Are you kidding me?!?! Return visit mandatory!

    A day with beautiful temps meant everyone was flocking to get ice cream. When my friends and I…read morearrived around 4:30 PM, it was somewhat hectic, but there were three associates behind the counter so the wait didn't seem long at all. For a limited time, they have a "Biscuits with the Boss" flavor as a collab with Ted Lasso. I was feeling something fruity so I went with Watermelon Taffy and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. The half scoop needs to be a thing at more ice cream shops because it is the PERFECT portion! I loved that I could try two flavors without feeling stuffed. Goat Cheese with Red Cherries - very rich and creamy with just enough of the tart cherry to balance out the goat cheese. Watermelon Taffy - almost like a sorbet with watermelon flavor. So refreshing! The little waffle cone piece on the side was a great way to add crunchiness. Every flavor at Jeni's is so fun and interesting. I can't wait to stop in again!

    Had this back to back with a nearby local ice cream shop and wow-- Jeni's is fantastic!…read more I really appreciate the creativity that they put into their flavors here. I sampled five flavors and my top three were the Hibiscus Chili Punch, Summer Berries + Passion fruit, and the Watermelon Taffy. The staff member that helped us was very kind, informative, and enthusiastic. He was very open about the flavors and was not shy to tell us what might be too sweet. I wish we came earlier in the day because we got there 30 minutes before closing and they were already in the process of cleaning up. The store still had a super cute color theme going on and it was very clean. We sat at the window barstools while we finished out single scoop. One unique thing about Jeni's is that they serve each flavor by the half scoop, so one scoop automatically defaults to two different flavors!
