    Cherry Bordeaux

    We have been coming to Yardley Ice House for nearly 30 years. I think the sizes have gotten even smaller...if that's possible. $4 for a small ice; it can't be more than 3ozs. Crazy. And they rarely have lemon water ice on the menu - which should be a basic staple. It's just become disappointing. Our last visit was today. Other options to explore and enjoy.

    My cup of "water ice" was all water and food coloring. It's thick like syrup. No ice at all, it's beyond me why the staff would serve that and charge someone for it. $16 for a small water ice that had to be thrown away and 2 cones, one of which fell off the cone because it was so lopsided. The ice cream is not custard, it was whipped with so much air, there is not creamy thickness you normally get with custard. We've been coming for years , but this time was too much and we won't be back.

    Great spot for water ice and ice cream. There is usually a line but it moves quickly. The help is friendly and efficient. I enjoyed the mint choc chip ice this time but also love the mango! Definitely worth a try!!

    I've been to this cute local shop a few times in the past few years. I came in with friends a few weeks ago when it opened for the season. This local shop served an awesome variety of water ice flavors as well as soft serve and custard options. I am personally not a water ice fan, so I went for a custard. I ordered a Sprinkle-Dipped Cone, and a small cost me about 2.40. The employees are all very friendly, and I find that they make extra effort to provide good customer service since they're a family-owned business. My friends and I all really enjoyed our ice cream. The taste is very fresh, and water ice variety is great. For the custard, flavors are simple. You can order chocolate, vanilla, or twist. You can also get cones dipped in various coatings and toppings. Overall, I really recommend this place. It's a cute, high-quality local ice cream shop. My only critique is that I wish they had more seating around the shop.

    So apparently don't get ice cream at the ice house, because you will be highly disappointed. I had super high expectations for this place merely based on the fact that they had almost a perfect yelp star rating. Then we got here and the line was down the block and that made me even MORE excited! After about 15 minutes of waiting in line, and seeing various people leave with good looking cones, I decided on ice cream instead of Italian ice. I ordered a simple vanilla hot fudge sundae with peanuts. Let's just say the peanuts were the best part....the fudge wasn't thick and chocolatey, but instead cheap tasting and the ice cream was so bland that it reminded me of a more solid version of Cool Whip. My beau got a vanilla cone dipped in chocolate was equally disappointed, and this man never says no to ice cream. If I return I will be sure to stick to the local's favorite of ONLY water ice....definitely go to McDonald's for a cheaper and more delicious sundae.

    SO GOOD! First of all Yardley is such a cute town. This spot has a good variety of water ice flavors and they all sound delicious. I went with a mango gelati and my fiancé got a cookies and cream water ice. I was definitely questioning cookies and cream as water ice but it was sooooo good I had to steal some from him. The frozen custard is perfection and the water ice is full of flavor. Will definitely be back to try more.

    I am not a fan of ice desserts, so this place is just ok, but it's all homemade!

    The Yardley Ice House is a great place to take the kids on a hot summer evening. It's small but delivers a big punch!

They have a good selection of flavors all of which hit just right amount of creamy and sweet. I had a chocolate chip mint, that perfectly satisfied after a meal.

My fiancé and I visited a friend who lives nearby and he recommended we go to OwowCow. Oddly enough, the temperature dropped 20 degrees in a matter of hours, but I was already committed to wanting ice cream so we went anyway. The line inside was long but it moved quickly. There were a good amount of employees helping to ensure everyone was taken care of. The flavor options here are so diverse and interesting! They have cute merch for sale, too. The honey lavender ice cream caught my eye so I decided to go with the Tea & Biscuits sundae. It consisted of two scoops of honey lavender ice cream, a lemon curd hard shell and shortbread crumble pieces. It was the most delicious, perfect, spring flavor combination. Inside the shop it was very warm. The heat must've still been on. Seating is also limited so if you want a seat, you should try to grab a table as soon as you see one.

The bent spoon always commands that kind of line and is always worth the wait. In addition to their rotating flavors, they also have pints for sale, some baked goods, and even some hot chocolate (in the colder months)! The ice cream itself is perfectly rich and creamy, with a great consistency. The flavors are always unique, but not unwelcome. I always make a point of trying to stop in whenever I'm in the area. Just don't be deterred by the line: It's worth it.

The shop itself is very small with extremely limited seats (if any) so plan to walk around town while you enjoy your ice cream. They have their usual standard flavors, and several seasonal ones that rotate. They allow samples so I'd recommend trying out their rotating flavors even if it sounds like something you normally wouldn't go for. They can make just about anything taste good!
