C & C CREAMERY

"Roxborough residents know it well, but any fan of cones piled high with twirls of soft serve should pencil in a stop at C & C Creamery next time they make their way northwest. The family-owned stand has been around since 1955 and makes everything on-site, going way beyond custard to sell hard ice cream, ice cream cakes, water ice, and — like any Philly ice cream shop worth its salt — soft pretzels on the side." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"C&C Creamery in Manayunk always has a line of people holding cones and cups full of their excellent vanilla, chocolate, twist, and pineapple Dole whip soft serve. It’s no surprise—it’s a Philly classic. The sizes here range from kiddie to a $4 large that’s a towering three-and-a-half scoops. And for just a few bucks, it’s a great deal that’s big enough to split between two people. " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"This Roxborough favorite for soft serve in cones is open for call-ahead orders. A big menu of scoops, shakes, and ice cream cakes is available. The phone lines get busy, so keep trying. The staff is delivering orders curbside." - Sarah Maiellano

"C&C Creamery is a Philly staple—which is probably why it always has a line out front. You’ll see people holding cups and cones full of their excellent vanilla, chocolate, twist, and pineapple Dole whip soft serve. The sizes here range from kiddie to a $4 large that’s a towering three-and-a-half scoops. For just a few bucks, it’s a creamy reward for everyone who stood in a line that rivals the one at the DMV.
