Weckerly's Ice Cream is a solid ice cream spot with friendly staff and a lot of unique flavors. If you're unsure what to get, you can sample some of the flavors. My favorite part was actually the topping. I had never tried salted whipped cream before, and now I wish more places offered it. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the mood for a sweet treat. read more

FOOD I tried a split scoop of their blueberry cheesecake and strawberry shortcake. Both were absolutely delicious and chunky. Most places aren't as generous with the amount of chunks in their scoops, but Weckerly's did a great job with their cream-to-mix-ins ratio. My only complaint was that the blueberry jam for the cheesecake flavor was a bit too sweet. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! Their spoons are sharp though, so be careful when eating. AMBIANCE The place is largely grab and go but does have barstool seating by the window (3 seats). Most visitors get their ice cream and eat by Rittenhouse Square Park. read more

I've been to the Fishtown location many times but this was my first time at Rittenhouse. I my coworker and I couldn't resist stopping in on our lunch. The space is bigger with some seating. It has big window so it has lots of light. The owner waited on us. She is very nice and explained several flavors. It's hard to choose a flavor because there are so many unique ones. We did the split scoops for $7 so we could get 2 flavors. I had the apricot amaretti. It was creamy with pieces of lots of pieces of apricot and a small bits of cookie. I also had the cranberry ginger snap with creamy ice cream mixed with cranberry jam (?) and small chunks of ginger snaps. Both flavors were yummy! My friend had blueberry horchata and a raspberry flavored Lol I can't remember exact It was a perfect snack to get us through the afternoon! read more

Great ice cream and unique flavors! I recommend the pistachio olive oil cake and brown butter yellow cake. Non dairy options are also available, along with pints of ice cream for $13. The service was very patient with us as we tried multiple flavors. It was a very cute place to sit for a midday treat, highly recommend! read more

My favorite ice cream place in the city! It seems like every few blocks in the area you'll find a place that sells ice cream, but since the first time I've walked into Weckerly's, I've only been coming back here for this delectable treat. They have a such an eclectic assortment of flavors, from the familiar-adjacent to the ones that you might think twice about how it would work in ice cream form--and yes they do samples. I believe they have seasonal flavors as well. I really enjoyed the fig basque cheesecake recently, and a coffee and donuts one. For someone who hates cloyingly sweet desserts, I think their flavors have been at a perfect level of sweetness for me. Definitely recommend checking this place out next time you have that craving! read more

Stepping off 16th and Locust, it's the holiday's. Nearby Monk's spills hopeful diners onto the sidewalk while Weckerly's is an oasis. Trumpet jazz playing, next sprinkling in Christmas tunes. The selection at the counter is like a holiday. Cinnamon and cranberry, rhubarb, lemon, sour cream and something....all as delicious as they are unique. Families repack strollers, buoyed by kids re-powered from ice cream, we grabbed window seats and watched revelers and shoppers pass by. read more

Service was great and place was very clean. However, I wasn't a big fan of the ice cream. It was waaaayyy too sweet. I tried 4 flavors and didn't like any one of them. My daughter tried a few and ended up getting the vegan matcha strawberry. It was definitely more strawberry than matcha and loaded with a ton of sugar. She did not even eat half. read more

I totally love this Weckerly's. It's in a convenient location near all the places I frequent and the ice cream is, hands down, the best in Philly. One of the more interesting flavors is Dubai Chocolate. It's really good. I was getting it all last year but now I've graduated to Pistachio Olive Oil Cake. From these two flavor suggestions, you can tell that this place is very special and has unusual flavors you won't find anywhere else. It's sort of like a Jeni's or Van Leuwenn, but better. Plus, it's a Philly business! Support these folks. It's really good. read more

I've never seen kombucha ice cream before! Tried the apple ginger flavor. The flavors were mild, not too sweet, enjoyable. I would have liked for the ginger to stand out more. I wouldn't have guessed it was in there if I didn't read the description. Texture reminds me of more solid water ice. I liked this option cause sometimes milk ice cream feels too heavy. read more

Congrats to Weckerly's on this exciting location addition! A few blocks from me, beautifully decorated, bright, a handful of outdoor benches to enjoy your treats, and a spot that will hopefully stick around for years to come. The Rittenhouse ice cream scene is alive with options at this moment. Where I think Weckerly's stands out (I eat a lot of ice cream both professionally and personally) is with their care in flavor. They don't go big or outrageous for no reason, sticking to simplistic flavor combos and executing perfectly. I went with a cone of the buttercake and was blown away. As someone who loves mix-ins and a broad textural experience in my ice cream eating, this is a 10/10. Also head to Weckerly's for fabulous vegan options from sorbets to coconut creams and more. They also cater to your gluten free friends and overall do a great job denoting what's in what. The sandwiches are also not to be missed. My new go-to might be a cone for today and a sandwich for tomorrow to go. As I said, I EAT A LOT OF ICE CREAM. Thank you to Weckerly's for opening this fabulous shop. read more

Everyone I know has been raving about Weckerly's ice cream sandwiches so I had to pop in to try. The ice cream flavor menu is extensive. So much so, that I'll need to come back to this location and try more. This time I went with the Cherry Blossom ice cream sandwich. Two thick slabs of unique flavors sealed together by a cookie (don't tell my dentist). The inside counter top or outside benches will be perfect sit, chat, people watch, and enjoy a delectable treat. Staff were also super friendly and knowledgeable. These people really enjoy ice cream. read more

Weckerly's Ice Cream - Cherry Blossom Ice Cream Sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Weckerly's is different, in a good way! Relatively new to the neighborhood (but not Philly), this spot offers a variety of unique flavors. Not in a twist on rocky road type of way, but in a tomato basil ice cream type of way. While I'm not adventurous enough to try some of the more "out there" flavors, their classics or calmer flavors are great! In the summer, there's typically a line down the block, but their team does nice job of getting everyone in and out quickly. Prices are high, but nothing out of the ordinary for the are. Think 7-8 bucks for a small. They offer coffees but don't seem to be pushing that much. read more

I'm glad that on my second visit, there's no line. I was disappointed that the Dubai chocolate is no longer available. Update from my first review: the ice cream sandwich is available behind the register. You need to order it from the staff. I got the strawberry matcha and it didn't disappoint. The fresh strawberries are very refreshing. I also tried the Irish cream and I love it. read more

1. I am not an ice cream lover. 2. I am lactose intolerant, so much so that it can take me down if I have too much. Yeah, it's that bad. 3. French is one of my top 2 favorite cuisines. So when I noticed that this wasn't just any ice cream shop but French-Style ice cream I had to see what it was all about. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your body for something yummy. Lol. So what makes it French-Style? Weckerly uses a custard base, which includes egg yolks, resulting in a richer, smoother, and creamier texture. Right off the bat 5 Stars for having some of the most unique flavors. What intrigued me was that some of them were a mix of sweet and savory. If you can't decide just ask for a tiny spoon sample taste. Here is an example of their seasonal menu on this hot August day... - Buttermilk Pepper Jelly - Lavender Goat Cheese - Coconut Mango Cashew - Corn Toffee Chewy Cookie If these flavors don't excite you then I don't know what does. But what caught my eye were their homemade ice cream sandwiches. I let my son choose and he picked their seasonal Blueberry Dream. The top and bottom layers is made with chocolate cookies. Then one thick slab of cookies & cream and blueberry ice cream. The middle has a blueberry jam stripe. As I kept taking bites the thought of possibly having a tummy-ache escapes my mind. You can tastes that it's homemade. Best ice cream sandwich ever!! Omg, so so good. I did share it with my son so I was okay. I look forward to coming back when I am in the area. There are 2 locations: Rittenhouse & Fishtown (Original location) read more

This place was SO GOOD!!! Such a cute little shop, and I can totally understand why. I absolutely love trying all of the different flavors there and I was just impressed with how unique and perfect each one was. The staff was super friendly and I ended up asking them what flavor they recommended and to surprise me with that. I was definitely not disappointed at all, because I felt like they cannot go wrong with any choice. Also, the scoops were a pretty generous size which was great. read more

Tried the Butterscotch Brindle; the cookie was incredible. The ice cream was vegan (didn't realize at first), and while I didn't hate it, it definitely didn't taste like a classic cookies & cream. Halfway through I forgot it was cookies & cream at all and thought I was just eating vanilla. read more

They have a wide variety of options and are great at accommodating different allergies, which I really appreciated. The ice cream itself was super creamy and really good , the butter pecan flavor in particular was amazing. It is a little on the expensive side, but that's pretty expected for Center City. Overall, I'd go back! read more

fun creative flavors like goat cheese, fig, etc fusion but not for me. I prefer soft serve over hard ice cream for this price point.

So creative and delicious ice cream flavors. Love the ice cream sandwiches -- especially the mini, which is just the right sized for me. Vegan option with oat milk ice cream was soo good. This is destination-worthy. read more

Yummy vegan lemon curd! Super creamy and not overwhelmingly coconut (I don't know what milk base it is) and not too lemony. It was more creamy than refreshing. The cherry cola was quite soda like which was cool A scoop goes for $6 so def a treat for me. Would go try the matcha ice cream sandwich read more

This was a great Rittenhouse find! There were sorbets I loved, being dairy free. The Concord grape and apple cider sorbets were beyond delicious, light, and amazing! The staff was friendly and there was plenty of room to sit and enjoy a sweet treat. Happy to have found a new ice cream spot in the city! read more

Newer and bigger location! Went as part of Yelp event, but I can say that I'm very impressed by their flavor offerings. I've been to their Fishtown location and wasn't a huge fan of their ice cream sandwiches that they're know for so I was pleasantly surprised by the offerings here! We were allowed to try some flavors before deciding too, which was nice. Would come back to try more read more

Delicious and a very pretty space! There's a lot going on in there: ice cream, sorbet, coffee, the sandwiches. Lots of variety with flavors but it is very pricey for a smaller amount of ice cream. The staff is very nice and there are a lot of them to tackle a summer line. My ice cream sandwich was delicious but a touch too sea salty. read more

Yay! I am so happy Weckerlys opened this location in rittenhouse! I stopped by on Sunday late afternoon. There was a short line out the door but it went quickly. I liked the light bright interior with some seating near the window and the large counter with so many ice cream flavors! It was honestly a little hard for me to read the menu until I got close to the counter but they have so many flavors including some vegan options, as well as sandwiches, and coffee - I'm going to have to come earlier in the day and try an affogato! I tried 2 flavors - Dubai chocolate and caramel cheesecake. I chose 1 scoop of Dubai chocolate which I enjoyed outside on one of the benches since it was a beautiful day. They also had a big cooler filled with pints - so many delicious options! Weckerlys is my favorite!! read more

It was the closest ice cream place to my location and I'm pretty thrilled that it was. Somehow have never tried Weckerly's and have now been back twice. My wife is obsessed with the lemon blueberry oat something. The shop we went to was small but bright and had some bar seating. The person working was nice and let us try like every flavor. Excited to go back. read more

Happy to have it in the neighborhood now!! Great ice cream and ice cream sandwiches, and nice that they do coffee and some other treats as well. read more

Listen. I came here for a scoop of ice cream, not a full-blown existential crisis. I thought I'd be in and out in five minutes. Instead, I sampled what felt like half the menu and aged approximately three years trying to make a decision. Every flavor was rich, poignant, delicious, and somehow emotionally complex -- like each scoop had a backstory and a moral lesson. At one point, I was holding a tiny spoon, staring into space, questioning my entire personality. "Am I a spice person today ? Or an almond croissant chaos gremlin?" The staff was patient -- almost too patient -- like they'd seen this kind of meltdown before. They probably keep tissues behind the counter for people who realize too late that the pistachio is, in fact, transcendent. Eventually, I committed. I won't tell you which flavor because I want you to suffer the same beautiful indecision I did... it was the olive oil cake and the almond croissant... But when I finally sat down, took my first bite, and let it melt into a slow-motion montage of joy and regret -- I knew. This wasn't ice cream. This was therapy in dairy form. Was it expensive? Sure. But so is enlightenment. read more

I've been to several ice cream places in Philly and this one is just not worth to go back again. There are many handmade ice cream shops in Philly! It means Philly is a very compatible city for ice cream shops (you can see my other reviews for better ice cream places) Staffs are very friendly and service is very pleasant, they let us try different flavors prior to the purchase. But, the size of a scoop is not worth the price they charge ($7/scoop) and the flavor is just very heavy in general. If you like heavy cream like ice cream, you will like it. They do have quite a few options for vegan as well. Some of staffs are still not fully trained to scoop ice cream yet, so just be mindful of your ice cream scoop shape will not be perfect as you imagine. I also tried their famous "sandwich ice cream", which they only have 2 kinds to choose from and they're also pre-packaged (not freshly made from scoops). The ice cream sandwich is also overpriced for its portion & flavor-wise from my stand point. They're only outdoor seating areas but not that much seatings. Will not going back here to buy ice cream (not worth to buy with my own money), but will enjoy it if someone buys for me read more

Wandering and bar hopping on a Saturday night, and realized Weckerly's had a (new-ish?) location in Rittenhouse - what a brilliant addition to the neighborhood. The line was out the door, but moved with expedience and had a fun, summery, pleasant vibe. The ice cream was predictably terrific, and I will certainly plan on a prompt return. Great spot that lived up to and exceeded the considerable hype. read more

We also took advantage of the comfy outdoor benches to sit and enjoy our ice cream in the shade. The Lemon Berry Graham sandwich was rich and flavorful with the perfect amount of berry sweetness. Definitely recommend stopping here for amazing ice cream and a gorgeous new storefront! read more

I'd love to leave a better review but based on my experience I'd say one star is enough. I was there the first week this location opened. Appeared to be a soft opening as management was there going over details etc on their laptops. It happened to be a rainy day but I had plans to meet a friend there. Turns out I was early and she was late so I sat at a barstool to wait. Instead of greeting me or asking me if I had questions or needed anything, the staff began to talk about me loitering due to the rain and how rude I was. I happened to be the only person in the store and they were not quiet about their feelings. The person behind the register said he was going to kick me out and another staff called me a piece of shit. If I hadn't been meeting a mentee there I would have confronted the staff. I even left a tip despite how nasty they were. The ice cream is good- but I won't ever go back. Not sure where they were basing their assumptions on but I can't help to feel racially targeted. Regardless, I'll stick to Milk Jawn where the scoops are huge, the price is $5 for a single scoop and the staff isn't outwardly rude or assumptive. read more

First time and has the pecan pie ice cream. It was great. Lots of interesting flavors to choose from.

Honestly the new location while being bigger and nicer was a disappointment compared to their fishtown location. The saddest part I asked to get my soft serve in a cone and instead of telling they were out of their famous waffle cones I got my soft serve in a gross grocery store styrofoam cone. read more
