Big Gay Ice Cream Review - South Street - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"There’s a Rita’s and a Haagen-Dazs on South Street, but our favorite place for frozen dessert is Big Gay. Sure it’s a chain from New York, but their soft serve is incredible, and we’re especially fans of the Salty Pimp. It’s caramel-filled vanilla swirl on a cone, covered with pretzel pieces and dipped into a chocolate shell. There are other great options as well, like ice cream sandwiches and sundaes, but the Salty Pimp is what you should get on your first trip here." - Sydney McElwee

The concept of the store is just mind-blowing. The ice cream is very good, and you have many options. The price is a big high but is totally worthy. I enjoy every piece of it. The place is really nice and clean (including the washroom). the stuff was friendly and helpful with my order. I think is a great place for a date or just for those who have a sweet tooth. seriously it is a must in Philadelphia.

We thought this place would have unique ice cream flavors, but it was just soft serve. However they had some unique ways to serve it and a wide variety of fresh fruit popsicles. We also enjoyed the dining room decor.

The ice cream was very good. They give a good amount of ice cream too. The only reason I gave four stars was that the day we came the staff wasn't so friendly and a little rude. However, the place was clean compared to other ice cream shops so that was a plus.

I love the name and vibe of this place, it is so cute. But the ice cream itself is not all that great and the service is pretty bad. There's hardly any options or variety either. It's basically just a cute spot to get a picture for Instagram.

Excellent ice cream, just as good as I remember from NYC. Definitely worth upgrading to a waffle cone, and coating it with Nutella! Love the salty pimp flavour - the sea salt makes it! I'll be be honest, the staff were less than stellar and VERY slow, but we got there in the end.

Casually brilliant soft serve and shakes. Loved the salty pimp, also got a strawberry shake. Worth the trip albeit a little pricey. Still worth it though. Ice cream was so light and the shake was divine. If you're in the city and need an ice cream fix, you can't go wrong here

Empty at 7pm on a rainy Saturday. Guy behind the counter was super friendly. I got the American Globs. Good balance of sweet n salty but I would have preferred my soft serve to be a bit thicker. Still tasted excellent and I would definitely recommend and go back.

SO GOOD! Always heard the hype of this and was nervous it wouldnt live up to it's name, but it does! I got the American Globs cone and it was incredible. I love the way they "punch" the toppings into the ice cream. Definitely will be visiting again!
