1-900-ICE-CREAM

Fantastic ice cream shop right on the main road. (Lancaster Ave/Route 30) Wide variety of interesting flavors...what is even more impressive are the clever (and sometimes silly) names for each flavor. I had the chips ahoy/cookie ice cream which was great. Great quality ingredients. Can purchase scoops from the counter or take home pre-packed pints from the freezers in the store. Reasonably priced for an ice cream shop of this standard. A few tables and chairs toward the back of the shop and a counter with some stools toward the front. Clean and well-kept space. Friendly, patient and helpful staff. Lots of metered parking spacing along the main road and in nearby lots. After 6pm is free.

Definitely an unique spot! Your experience here will likely depend on if you enjoy custom ice cream flavors. Their offerings are expensive & portion sizes are okay, so if you get more of a traditional flavor - you’ll likely be disappointed. With that said, branch out to try their weekly different flavors & you’ll be presented with a worthwhile experience. I’ve had a bubblegum creation here in the past that I’ve been craving again for months!

Really sweet, rich ice cream that is the most amazing ice cream ever, hard to describe with words but it’s like a gourmet Ben & Jerry’s on steroids. So many creative flavors (one of the most unique I’ve seen so far is “Pepper Child” mango-habanero ice cream with peach jam swirl). It’s always hard not to stock up on pints. Since moving out of the Philly area a couple years ago, this is one of the only (food) things I miss from my hometown area.

Best ice cream I’ve ever had. You can tell that its always crafted with care and the flavors are unique AF. Worth the 35 minute drive.

I ordered banana pudding and graham. Taste if pretty good. Giving it 3 stars because the other worker working at the moment has her friend and felt so uncomfortable them talking about people (ex's etc.) as if the lady isn't on duty. Kids should know boundaries of chitchating when they're on duty.

I made the drive for the sherbet but if you don’t understand the significance of it and then you don’t follow them on Instagram. You should. The coffee is fantastic and the staff is there nicest. Why haven’t you visited them yourself?! You’re on your way? Great. Pick me up one of everything while you’re there.

I drive an hour for this Ice cream it’s truly worth it tho. They do unique flavor combos you’ll usually not see and they change them up each week so you can always try something new. The ice cream is the best quality I’ve ever had super creamy and the perfect flavor combos. 10/10 would recommend checking it out!!!!!!!!

You HAVE TO GO. Every single week I look forward to picking up a pint and every single week I am more obsessed with the latest flavor. Their dipped soft serve is my latest favorite!! Staff is cool, space is clean, and love that you can earn rewards for free pints. Overall, you’re missing out if you don’t go.

It was a cold night but the ice cream was Bomb.com. We ordered a scoop of ice cream that had a vanilla, chocolate mix with strawberry jam. We added the homemade chocolate sauce which was super tasty. Service was great too. They allowed us to try a few samples and that really helped me decide on a flavor. Would totally come back here

The best ice cream I've had in years. I make my own ice cream at home so I'm very hard to please. Every single flavor I've tried here has been amazing, from dense and nearly savory concoctions like "Italian Love Tunnel" to crisp fruit flavors and everything in between. On my most recent visit, I got nestle strawberry quik flavored soft serve. The astonishing thing is that I know for certain that Quik doesn't actually taste as good as this ice cream did--the ice cream tasted like *my childhood memory of Quik*. It was delicious and light and amazing. My kid got a chocolate and peanut butter flavor and remarked how much more delicious it was than Hershey's ice cream. Highly recommended. Service is prompt and friendly which just makes it even better.

3.5...wasn't blown away by the flavors but to be fair I went hoping to get the maple moose - maple steeped coffee ice cream with coffee crumb cake and streusel topping and they only had it in a pint not scoops. I sampled a cookie butter ice cream and something else and went with a strawberry with cheesecake chunks, strawberry crunchies and buttercream swirl. Definitely wanna check out the soft serve location in rittenhouse.

M&M ice cream with chocolate chip cookie chunks and gooey fudge brownie cubes !? Say less.. it was so good. I'm a HUGE ice cream eater and you don't need more than one scoop. I felt like I ate an entire brownie in this scope of ice cream. It is not lacking any of the added toppings.

I'm not one to review an establishment during their "soft open", mostly because it's that time when the staff are learning and figuring stuff out. It's kinda like judging a gymnast during their warm-up rounds. In this case, though, I make an exception. I was truly delighted to hear that another ice cream maker was taking over as Parlour decided to exit. I'm a firm believer that Ardmore needs a good ice cream place. I was even happier to hear this was not going to be seasonal shop, like Parlour and so many other places in the area are. 1-900-Scoop-Shop is a vertical of 1-900-Ice-Cream out of Fishtown, Philadelphia, a new venture by the creator of Boku, a well known underground restaurant in Fairmont. The parent company has a strong presence on Instagram, sells ice cream at 'walk ups' on certain days and ships. They have a significant following in the food world around here. Their creations are largely mashups of flavors, with funky names, and the selections are always changing. The Scoop Shop has these mashup flavors, in pints and in buckets to scoop from. They've added soft serve, some vegan "soul-less" treats and some more traditional flavors to round out their 24 bucket selection. I've been in twice to check them out, both times to get pints. The first time I got "DMFO", a mixture of vanilla, caramel and chocolate buckeyes, and "Soil Lawyer" which was a mix of chocolate, oreos, fudge, and gummy worms. There might be something else in that one. They were expensive as ice cream goes -$12 a pint. They were both excellent. Creamy, good flavor balance, yummmm. This is most definitely super premium fare. Then, they come out with a flavor that I consider the true measure of quality craftsmanship: "John Stockton", a pure 100% Madagascar vanilla ice cream. No mix ins, no streaks of fudge or caramel or whatever. This, my friends, is NOT EASY to get right. It is so easy to get this flavor wrong - too sweet, not sweet enough, weird 'flat' finish that reminds me of eating play doh. So, despite the fact that my budget said YOU'RE GOING AGAIN??? THIS IS EXPENSIVE! I rose to not only pick up a pint for myself but one for dear friend and fellow Yelper Jessica W. After delivering one pint to Jess, I zoomed back to the 003, got my favorite spoon, said a small prayer to the budget Gods for forgiveness and dove in. It was delightful. First, the creamy, which I expected, then the vanilla, precisely flavored, by people who understand this bean. It's one thing to be able to make great tasting ice cream with a ton of flavors and textures, my friends. Cookie chunks and fudge ribbons can hide a lot of sins. It's another to stand on a single flavor, no flashiness and no place to hide. That is the mark of excellence. It's completely worth the $6 a scoop, $10 double scoop or $12 pint. I look at it this way: When you go to Vetri Cucina, XIX or Zahav, you are paying more for high quality dining, right? It's the same with ice cream. 900-Scoop-Shop delivers on the high quality to match the price.

I first tried 1-900 ice cream about 2 years ago. Pre-pandemic, my girlfriend would pick me up the highly coveted pints in Fishtown and bring them to work for me. Fast forward to the present, I was so freakin' excited to find out 1-900-Scoop-Shop opened near me. Now I can grab my own pints and I am hype. I went this weekend and it did not disappoint. I tried the salted banana ice cream and it was perfect. My boyfriend also got the Take 5 soft serve and it was out of this world. All toppings are included which was a nice surprise. They have very inventive cones for an additional fee as well. Pints are $12 and worth every penny. You are guaranteed goodness in every bite. Will be back again and again!!

Been chasing this ice cream since back when you had to meet dudes in a van at a very specific time. Severely miss Cuzzy and Sammy - both were the friendly faces of the brand. Anyways, once you try 1-900 it's difficult to settle for other ice cream again. Handel's is the only maker that comes close to competing in my book. Expensive but extremely worth it when you get a pint with a good mix in to swirl to ice cream ratio.

I've been a longtime fan of 1-900 Ice Cream since they were online orders only. I'm so thrilled that they now have a brick and mortar scoop shop, and can't wait to see them continue to expand. My orders have been fully online, with pop-up pick ups. The entire process is seamless, communication is clear, and the ice cream is worth every step along the way. I highly recommend signing up for their email list to stay up to date on flavors, pre-orders, and even getting pints shipped!

Great customer service and very friendly/helpful! I had the espresso ice cream with caramel and brownie bits! SO delicious, smooth and tasteful. I will be coming back!

The best ice cream around! Both the flavors and the textures of the ice cream are amazing, and with great, complimentary toppings, this place can't be beat. The only caveat is that sometimes this place isn't the best if you're looking for a simple flavor, or if they have recently created some new twist they can overdo it (recently I went and 3-4 of the flavors all had cheesecake in them. Bad luck that I didn't want cheesecake in my ice cream).

Ice cream was really good and had a lot of variety. Toppings are also free! Staff was super friendly and patient. I was a little sad the soft serve didn't come out like the perfectly swirled ones pictured online but it's not a big deal.

WARNING You literally are going to end up spending too much money here bc it's the best soft serve you will ever have. I've been ordering their pints for 2 years whenever they came up with crazy flavors I couldn't wait to try. (Follow him on insta!!!!! You get the latest updates) Jokes aside, please check out 1900 scoop shop. Their scoop ice cream flavors are legit. But the soft serve is what won my heart. The soft serve flavor changes weekly? (Not too sure). This flavor was Oreo and Coffee swirl. I can literally remember the exact taste. It was that memorable! ANDDD If you aren't in the Ardmore/Philly area, they have a website where you can get majority of their flavors as pints for delivery (they do sell out quick though).

Don't be fooled by their facade and interior decoration - this place sells fantastic small-batch ice cream, both by the pint and scoop. Finally have easy access with their own brick and mortar store. Ice cream: 5+/5 hands down Price: 4/5. Yes I know I'm paying for quality, but $15 for hand packed pints are the steepest around Decor: 2/5. It just does not match the quality and price of the ice cream. The interior looks shabbier than a Baskin Robbins

Excellent! The 1-900 Scoop Shop is on Lancaster Ave in Ardmore. This is a grab and go shop. There are a few small tables out front if you prefer to enjoy the scene. I visited during off hours and was able to sample flavors. The many delicious options included Berry Gang (Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry), Sprinkled Donut made with Confetti Fudge Federal Donuts, and Strawberry Crunch. Ultimately, I went with a scoop of Old Gold made with Peanut butter and Caramel. The "Popcorn" texture and sweet bits of caramel are BOMB. $7 for a scoop and totally worth every Penny.

I loved the soft serve so much at 1-900 that I gave their scoop shop in Ardmore a visit. Take note that this location does not serve soft serve, only scoops of their hard ice cream. Like all the other locations, their ice cream offerings are truly innovative creations. Definitely still a spot to be excited about! The ice cream server at the shop was really helpful and let me taste some options before making my decision. I ended up going with a sugar cone with 2 scoops: 1 scoop of peanut butter ice cream with s'mores crunchies and chocolate chips and 1 scoop of salted caramel ice cream with dulce de leche and speculoos. Both flavors were impressive, delicious, and refreshingly new. Go check them out and enjoy!

Summer of ice cream...this was our first stop. Loved! Here's our specific review on a 10-scale... Flavors: Grahm cracker with blueberry & mini missile Texture: 8.5/10 Flavor selection: 7.5/10 (no simple flavors) Taste: 9.5/10 Vibe: 6/10 (kinda hippy) (minimal decorations) Service: 7/10

I was soooo excited to try this sooo many options for awesome flavors and then when i got there they literally had 2 soft serve flavors and like 6 regular ice cream flavors that were all basic Like I'd your going to advertise the fact that you have a BUNCH of flavors, then you should have a bunch of flavors.

The service behind the counter is incredible, and the pints are so worth the trip from Manayunk. While it a little bit expensive for a pint of ice cream, it is worth it. The ice cream is dense and creamy and smooth. The ingredients are fresh and flavor profiles are incredibly unique.

This ice cream is amazing. I was disappointed when Parlour closed but this is honestly way better. I guess this is some type of satellite location to their main location in the city. They had so many unique flavors that all sounded delicious. I had the cheesecake ice cream with blueberry jam and graham cracker and it was amazing! All toppings are included but I didn't add anything to mine. My daughter had the soft serve which was Oreo flavored, she loved it. We came back a second time for pints, which are pretty expensive at $12 a pint. We got some type of speculoos flavored one and it was delicious. Can't wait to come back here.

Came here the other night for an after dinner treat. They has so many inventive flavors, it was hard to choose! I finally decided to have the salted banana. It had fudgy brownie pieces in it. It was really good. My daughter had the cheesecake ice cream with blueberry jam and Graham cracker. She let me try it, it was really good too. She loved it. My son in law got the neopolitan flavor which was like the usual but had more inventive flavors. For my 2 year old granddaughter they had soft serve which was much easier for her to eat. Even that was different with an Oreo flavor. Lots of people were coming in to get pints to go. This is a pretty popular place with not much seating but definitely worth a visit!

Yum, yum, yummy. The exterior screams average. But the ice cream is amazing. Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Had been dying to try 1-900 icecream since I saw them on Instagram. Their fun, unique and delicious flavors did not disappoint! We got the Campfire Fun Guys, Parachute Adam's and Soul Lawyer. Campfire Fun guys was a bit plain, in my opinion but the other ones were great! Soul Lawyer was the crowd favorite. Would return!

BEST.ICE.CREAM.EVER. Words can not do justice to what my palate experienced when I tried this ice cream. And I want to be clear, I take ice cream very seriously. I heard about it through some friends recommending that I follow their instagram accounts (they have one for the scoop shop as well as their direct-to-consumer account called 1900icecream). I followed both and within just a few days, I was headed to Ardmore. I walked in expecting to get a scoop. I walked out with a scoop, and two pints. The bananas foster ice cream is hands down the most natural and tasty banana flavor ice cream I've ever had in my life, good job! The two pints I bought were both equally stellar. They also didn't last more than a few days in my freezer - I couldn't stop eating it! Ice cream is a weakness of mine, but I have found my one true kryptonite and it is this place. I am in love with their ice cream and I am excited to try more!

$6.36 for one scoop of very mediocre icecream felt like a rip off. Have no idea why previous reviewers rated this place well. Maybe they visited at a time when the soft serve flavors offered were better than today. No coffee flavor hard icecreams and no vanilla soft serve which are must haves. Soft serve and hard icecreams are overly sweet and not very flavorful. Won't return due to high price, lack of basic flavors, lack of interesting flavors and overly sweet. Owners should visit Scooped in Media to see how it's done right. Scooped's blackberry chip is to die for. All of their icecreams are super flavorful and not overly sweet. Also, what's up with the name of this place? Bizarre.

Love this little spot cool place bring your kids or a ice cream run with ya shawty they got something for everybody

This is becoming one of our favorite ice cream shops. We grabbed two pints tonight and we loved both. So fresh and flavorful.

Although the people were super nice and friendly and the place itself presents itself a great hangout spot, I found the selection and quality of the ice cream to be very subpar even after giving this place a second chance.

Seems like a fun place, but 4 of us went in and only one of us came out with ice cream. There are a lot of creative flavors and combinations, but some of them had a lot of ingredients where one ingredient among many would end up being something someone didn't like. My tweens were a little overwhelmed with all the combinations so we went somewhere else and got them some simpler flavors. Maybe this would be considered an offensive recommendation, but perhaps keep some chocolate and vanilla on hand for the less adventurous companions of the adventurous eaters!

1-900 has been on the Philly ice cream scene for quite some time now, but I'm THRILLED for them to open a brick and mortar spot. Their scoops are nothing short of immaculate, delivering perfectly on their always delicious flavor combos. Tons of flavor combo's, from simply delightful to extravagantly to die for. The price is up there, but the product is really that good in my opinion. Personally, the scoops are an absolutely delicious treat, but I'd be remiss if I didn't advocate for also grabbing a pint to take home.

located right on lancaster ave, one of the best ice cream spots. i have been eating 1900 ice cream since they were doing drops in philly. it was the most frustrating thing ever but so worth it. I don't usually stop in for scoops here because I always buy pints. I get my friends to stop in here to buy them for me too. i buy 4-5 every time because how can you just get 1 flavor? that's ridiculous. you have to try every single one. Ryan is a master at his craft and he is so knowledgeable all around. please support his business as he puts so much work into it. you will not regret paying $6/scoop or $12/pint of ice cream. they also serve coffee & brekkie in the morning!

My bf and i were soooooooo hype for all the flavors and then when we got there they had like 2 flavors and the soft serve machine was down. Like if ur gonna advertise having a lot of flavors then you should have a lot of flavors

Drove from downtown philly to be able to get some scoops. Just a delicious as when they came out in small batches and you had to order the flavor you wanted a minute after it became available. Will be making many more trips here.

Delicious!!! The soft serve is so creamy and rich and they have fun and unique flavors of both soft and hard ice cream.

Wasteful. Fake hippies plastic. Lots of plastic please don't do this, so much plastic

Amazing hand crafted small batch ice cream that will blow your mind. Yes it's expensive but you get what you pay for.

We don't get the hype - the pints are good but the flavors are hit or miss. My son got a mint themed ice cream and he could barely eat it because of how harsh the flavor was. Soft serve is ok also, there are other places in Ardmore that offer far more options for the same price.

Don't go here if f you're looking for chocolate ice cream! I went 2 days ago, they had 6+ fruit flavor, 1 coffee, 1 mint, a few others but no chocolate. We asked if they could scoop the chocolate from the neopolitan but we're told that was "not allowed". Asked when they would get any chocolate and was told "we just get random flavors". If this is true, this is the most poorly managed business ever. I opted for mint with cookie dough. Flavor was blah. I would not recommend this place at all.

Great icecream. Love the soft serve and different hard shell options. Very yummy flavors. Expensive but i don't care. Lol

This is not your Mom & Pops scoop shop. This scoop shop takes ice cream to the next level! Get scoops there or take a pint to go! Dairy free options available. 100% would recommend!

I first just wanted to express my disappointment with the fact that they refused to split up one scoop in two flavors for a kid. No, seriously, what so freaking hard about it? When the establishment used to be Ice Cream Parlor, SAME employees has absolutely no problem with that. It have been a sweet place by all means, local favorite not only for our family, but for many. Now, being asked for the reasons, they come up with downright ridiculous explanation, something like "it's hard to keep up with precisely 4oz size of the ball". Sure, your company is gonna go bankrupt tomorrow if you accidentally put an extra half ounce into already $6-a-scoop portion. Horrible, horrible mistake. Just short of a crime, actually. But well, I was thinking, at least the ice cream turns out to be decent. I'll give them 3 stars, or so. But when I come up here on Yelp, and found out that 4 out of 5 reviews on the page are goddamn FAKES written by scams doing hundreds of reviews on places all over the country at the SAME DAY with a wording that smells PR-department so badly - that outrages me tremendously. You guys are scam, what you do is despicable, you don't deserve to be in business. Get lost, and get us our good old Ice Cream Parlor back.

Not only is the owner an absolute gem but the vibe and the flavors are amazing. The staff are efficient and if you get lucky enough to visit when they have coffee definitely do so.

Great ice cream, great service, and really nice people! Love how the flavors change - every visit is a new adventure!

Decent ice cream but nothing special. The store had a peculiar, off putting smell. Creative flavors- the pistachio one was really good.
