The Best Water Ice In Philly

"John’s is a classic. The Italian Market-adjacent spot has been around since 1945, and while the flavors change regularly, they always have their classic lemon, cherry, and chocolate (which are the best flavors, anyway). They also make super creamy ice cream, so add some to your order if you're in the mood for a gelati situation. There’s usually a line, so be prepared to wait a bit (especially on hot days)." - candis mclean
