Franklin Ice Cream Bar

We had a wonderful experience tonight. We were out walking our dog when we stopped in. A woman out front was kind enough to take us to the to go part of the store to skip the line. The ice cream was delicious and the Chinese takeout container was a fun touch. I’d recommend stopping for a fun atmosphere and sweet treat.

The best ice cream I tasted in Philly. I ordered the coconut ice cream with almond toppings. Do note that the almond toppings are very expensive. The taste of the coconut ice cream is delicious. I will definitely come back again when I visit Philly the next time. The shop is small and is decorated nicely.

Homemade ice cream that’s truly delicious! Be ready to spend a bit—it’s on the pricier side—but the quality and experience make it worth trying at least once. While I’m not sure I’d come back, it’s definitely a must-try spot for any ice cream lover.

Traditional ice cream done right. All the flavors I tried were delicious. The place is eclectic and takes you back to the past and I loved how they serve your ice cream in Chinese to go containers. We went at a down time but this place can get jam packed but it’s worth the wait. Staff were friendly and I’m already planning to go back to get a sweet treat.

It is one of the filling ice cream I have ever tried, next time I will go with one scoop! I love the ice cream! One of the popular spot in Philly

Wonderful creamy smooth ice cream! A great discovery! Some of the best ice cream I have had in a long time - with generous portions!

I'll say I get the hype to an extent. But the experience itself may not be entirely worth it. It's a cute place, historic vibe. And maybe that's why you wait so long, as if it were 1776. But the line takes a strangely long time to go through. Everyone that works there is super nice and certainly you're offered samples along the way. The prices certainly wouldn't fit 1776 and were a bit higher than I would expect for what it is. And (while this may only bother me) walking along this line there is SO SO much branding for purchase that left a bit of a sour taste. The flavors we tried/got were nice. It's decent ice cream. Why is it served in a Chinese takeout box? I'll never know. While we enjoyed the ice cream we got we probably wouldn't find the need to come back.

HANDS DOWN BEST ICE CREAM IN PHILLY. we stopped by here after dinner since yelped said this was THE SPOT TO TRY and luckily, we came. first the staff here is so nice and courteous. The ice cream is over the chain. nice and creamy melts in your mouth. We had to come here twice cause it was like an addiction lol.

The ice cream was good but nothing special. We thought that the ice cream was very overpriced. We also thought it was strange that if you chose for the prepackaged ice cream over the fresh, it was a different price.

It's ice cream season so don't be alarmed by my excessive ice cream reviews! I've wanted to try Franklin Ice Cream Bar for a minute. I was not disappointed! I'll try one of their ice cream bars next time, but this time I went for the soft serve bc Franklin Fountain doesn't do soft serve and that was my mood. Pictured is vanilla soft serve, caramel and waffle cone pieces. It was very very yummy!

This is an old ice cream shop that I think has been around for years (or just looks like a traditional ice cream parlour). In any case - the servers were working fast because there was quite a line but they were very friendly and the ice cream was great! We ate our ice cream while walking though just since the place wasn't that big and a lot of people were already inside. But it's near the river in a nice part of the city center, so good area for walking. We actually had dinner nearby at an Asian restaurant so it was conveniently located for dessert.

After brunch on a beautiful fall Sunday afternoon, walked to Franklin Ice Cream. This was my first time here, and I was fascinated by the old-fashioned look inside. Checked out all the many flavors of ice cream and decided on the butter pecan with walnuts in maple syrup. Quality and delicious ice cream. I highly enjoyed it! The ice cream also came in a cool takeout container! The staff was helpful and friendly.

This place is so cute! I was sad for the employees, it seemed like the AC must have been broken, which was terrible; please fix it and take care of them!! My partner ordered a peach ice cream which had real peach pieces in and was so smooth and creamy. I had a lavender + rose soda, which I think was the best soda of that variety I've ever had! I would have rated this 5 stars, but it was way too hot in there.

I usually go to Franklin Fountain next door because I didn't know about this place. I'm glad I went to Franklin Ice Cream Bar because it's the same as Franklin Fountain but less busy. I got a very simple yet classic twist soft serve. It's good but less sweet compared to other soft-serve I had. It's good but not great! It was a little pricey but overall, it's not bad.

When I tell you love in a cup, best relationship EVER!!!!! I always saw a long line around the corner and I see why. I was on Market street doing the greedy dance and didn't care. I would make this a weekly treat but I'm not trying to check in at Endocrine

Long time fan of Franklin Fountain. We were in Philly visiting but the line was so long for the OG place. We turned the corner and saw this new (to us) ice cream bar with virtually 0 line. Joined it not knowing it was an actual custom ice cream bar hole in the wall but was a fun surprise. This is a hidden gem/life hack! You can get the same hard ice cream here without the wait at FF and you can also get an ice cream bar custom to your liking if you choose. My GF got the hard ice cream in a cone and I got one of the ice cream bars. The bar is $14 which is a hefty sum for an ice cream bar in my opinion. It was thicc and heavy though and incredibly decadent. The keystone shape was cute. I got vanilla with milk chocolate coating and hydrox cookie crumble. Absolutely could not finish the entire bar because of size and also the richness. Was delicious but i wish they had a mini version. They accept card which is nice!

Ice cream sandwich with chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream is basically perfect. Can't wait to come back and try more.

Psst...want a hot tip? See that long line at the fun walk-up window at Franklin Fountain? Did you know that you can skip the line, walk right into the ice cream bar next door, and score the same delicious ice cream? You can't get all the fancy stuff that they have at the Fountain like phosphates, but if you want delicious ice cream or a shake, skip the line and head to the bar. You can also order online and walk in to have your ice cream waiting for you in the freezer! As for the ice cream itself, I'm a sucker for their caramelized banana.

Pssst! Shhhh! This place serves the exact same thing as the Franklin Fountain a few doors down, but without the line. They also take credit cards, something that the other place does not do as well. Sometimes the line for the main one stretches down to this one. There was only one party ahead of us when we were there on a Monday afternoon. Yes it is expensive, but it is good and keep in mind you are in a tourist area. An ice cream bar is $12, but I got the coffee bar which was in the fridge pre-made for a little less. It was very good and had coffee ice cream coated with chocolate. My daughter got a bar made from scratch and you get to pick the ice cream, dip, and up to 3 toppings. The selection is good and the product is high quality. They also have shakes which were good as well and fully customizable. Take a break from sight-seeing and enjoy a treat from this place!

This place was such a great spot to take the grandkids to. An old school environment when you walk in but it has a ton of great flavors and was very fast.

Hydrox ice cream has huge chunks of cookie mixed into a delicious vanilla ice cream. Upgrade to waffle cone is worth it, the bottom 3 inches does not have ice cream stuffed into it so you get to enjoy an unadulterated crunchy cone. There was a huge line on a Sunday evening, not sure if this is the norm but it was a 15-20 minute wait following order placing to receive it. It was quit deceptive and could have almost been mistaken for a concert or club queue.

The old-fashioned Franklin Ice Cream Bar was recommended by our tour guide and it did not disappoint! I tried the caramelized banana ice cream and it was yummy. The line was long but it moved pretty quickly. Price is a little expensive ($8+ for a small 1 scoop ice cream). There is not a lot of seating, so be prepared to walk and eat your ice cream on the sidewalk.

Possibly the best butter pecan ice cream I've ever had. I will definitely come back here. There's a bench outside but they could use some more seating. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Where do I begin... this was by far the best ice cream I've ever had!!! (Not kidding) Wow, this ice cream is delicious. There were so many options, I didn't even know how to decide. If you're looking for a freshly made, creamy and decadent ice cream you must stop here! The line was a bit long here on a Sunday and I suspect as it warms up it'll only get longer. However their system works pretty well. You order from one window and pick up in another. Not to mention, how cute are the containers? I think they are easier to hold than the standard cups. There is something here for everyone. The menu is pretty extensive so perhaps take a look before stopping by. It can get a little pricey... my 2 scoops with 2 toppings was $15 (yikes) but totally worth it! Not sure what type of cream they use but I'm telling you it's SO good/worth it. 10/10. I will certainly be back!

The line at the original Franklin Fountain next door was too long so we decided to go here, which is not a bad substitute. Service is speedy and they accept card! I got the Hydrox Cookie which was delightful on a hot afternoon. The main downside is the price -- it costs around ~$7 for a single scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone. Tips/notes: - Hydrox Cookie is the original flavor of the Oreo - They take card here as opposed to the original

REALLY good. This is a second shop 2 doors down from the famous Franklin Ice Cream place. Instead of waiting in a long line at the corner shop, go 2 doors left for the same ice cream for a shorter wait! The interior has the old fashioned creamery theme, with servers dressed to match. Ice cream is served in mini Chinese takeout containers. I ordered honeycomb and creme de Lafayette. The honeycomb was milky and sweet with real honey. The creme de lafayette had berry swirls in it and was definitely like a better version of the blueberry ice cream. Two scoops was a substantial snack for 2 people because it is rich. It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot day--definitely would recommend.

I attended the grand opening of Franklin Ice Cream Bar with fellow co-workers and was pleasantly surprised by the Berley brothers' new business. Brought to you by the same family as Franklin Fountain and Shane's Confectionery next door, this establishment boasts a similar vintage feel and delicious frozen desserts. They sell heavenly thick custard, boxes of Franklin Fountain (FF) ice cream, select ice cream toppings, scoops of select FF ice creams, milk shakes, and, of course the namesake, custom-built ice cream bars. You choose the bar you want (dipped in milk or dark chocolate), the drizzle, and the toppings. The bars are served in a paper bowl with a spoon (trust me, if your bar falls apart early you will thank them for their forethought). The bars are a bit steeply priced at $8, but it's not surprising considering prices at FF. Talking to one of the Berleys brothers, I learned they wanted to open this place to help offset traffic at FF, where lines get monstrous on weekend nights and holidays. Unlike Shane's and FF, the ICB is only open after 5PM on weekdays and open most of the afternoon and night on weekends. The hours are a total bummer to folks like me who work in the area and would love a midday dessert treat (seriously, their custard is amazing...I want it daily at 2 PM please). He also mentioned a new feature of their 3 businesses is the boxed ice cream available in ICB's freezer. Don't wanna wait in line for ice cream at FF? Wanna take a pint home for your freezer? No problem! This place has you covered. I think Franklin Ice Cream Bar will be a hit. Hopefully they'll extend hours for the locals frequenting the area on weekdays.

Just as good as Franklin Fountain next door but a lot less busy. I was originally planning to go to Franklin Fountain but it had a massive line and this place got reviews that were just as good if not better. It didn't disappoint. It had the same old fashioned ambiance and the ice cream was just as good. I had the coffee flavor and was quite satisfied, coffee is easy to make too bitter or too sweet but this was spot on. Would definitely come back if in the area.

Great alternative to standing in line at Franklin fountain. They carry the most common flavors and do simple sundaes. They also have 'to go' boxes and ice cream bars. The ice cream, like Franklin fountain, is fantastic. I would come here again and again. My most recent visit I had a scoop of plain vanilla with hot fudge on top. It was amazing!

A bunch of us came here after dinner on a Wednesday. There was a long line out the door. We heard it was amazing though so we got in line. They had a large selection of ice cream, old fashioned soda fountain drinks, shakes, malts, and sundaes. I love hot fudge sundaes so I had to get that. I thought it was pretty pricey though, mine ended up being $14! It was the mt. Vesuvius. It came with chocolate and vanilla ive cream but you could switch it out, I should have because i thought it was bland. I just wasn't impressed for the price it was. I wished there was more hot fudge too. I did eat most of it because I love ice cream but all in all not that impressive.

I was a big fan of Franklin Ice Cream Bar after my first visit there. As a major FYI, this seems like a great stop when the line of the original Franklin ice cream is out of the door. Although you can't get all of the flavors here, you can get a majority of their most popular flavors not in bar shape without having to wait as long. They also have a take out fridge section with lots of their bars and ice cream flavors packed and ready to take. I ordered a vanilla flavored ice cream bar, dipped in dark chocolate with almonds and sprinkles on top. The bars are shaped like a keystone, so it's a really cute way to represent PA. You get to choose your ice cream flavor. They actually have a lot of unique options besides chocolate and vanilla, like Meyer lemon and pumpkin. Then you can dip the ice cream in milk or dark chocolate. You can then add up to three toppings for free. Overall, it tasted great! My only negative (similar to all ice cream at Franklin) is that it is pretty pricey. One bar is $8.

Delicious ice cream, milkshakes, and ice cream bar. Long lines but moves fast. I had the coffee ice cream bar dipped in milk chocolate covered in non Parels. Divine, creamy, decadent, and delicious. The one disappointing aspect is the 2$ extra charge for whipped cream.

I came here based on a recommendation from a book called "100 Things to do in Philadelphia before you die". I never would have noticed this place but it is amazing, and also very busy even in the winter. I recommend you study the menu as you have to order quickly when it is your turn. They have about 20 flavors and all methods of serving (sundaes, shakes, floats, scoops, and cones). They also have several vegan choices.

The ice cream was great tasting, presentation was awesome, as was price for the most part. Variety of flavors was great, probably my favorite part were the unique flavors and toppings. Also, the containers thag were given to go, genius. What I didn't like was my girlfriend and i ordered 2 scoops each with sprinkles. But it looks like they barely gave us sprinkles. I could count the sprinkles. If they were free, I wouldn't complain but i paid for something and got skimped, TWICE. I would go again, but I'd most likely not ask for toppings. Instead, I'd be better off throwing my extra cash to a street musician up the block.

The Franklin Ice Cream Bar is just the addition we needed in preparation for Philly's insatiable ice cream season. I was waiting in line at the Franklin Fountain when one of the staff members informed us that the Franklin Ice Cream Bar was doing a soft opening just two doors down (literally footsteps away). This is great news, as we all know how crazy the line gets in the summer! I got a small butter pecan and my bf got rocky road on a cone. Still the same delicious homemade ice cream as always, everything locally sourced and made from scratch. It's still CASH ONLY but the atmosphere is just as historically charming as you'd hope. ATM located inside. The Franklin Ice Cream bar offers most of the flavors in scoops/cup form that the fountain offers, minus some obscure ones like rum raisin. They don't do most of the sundaes except for the hot fudge sundae. Instead, their main new offerings include totally customizable ice cream bars that they dip in chocolate (milk or dark) and toss with a wide array of toppings from cookie crumbs to nuts-- READ: ice cream on a STICK!!! They also offer frozen custard with the option of getting it dipped in chocolate too. Aside from that, the wall towards the register is lined with freezers with ready-to-go pints and ice cream bars. It may be hard to believe, but the space is even tinier than the fountain next door. Nonetheless, it will be a welcomed addition to catch the spill-over from the insanely long lines next door.

If you want that yummy yummy yummy yum you come to Franklin Fountain and Franklin Bar High quality ice cream at a premium price. Homemade quality at touristy prices. Is it worth it? Mos Def

I was in line for ice cream at the original location but was enticed by one of the workers inviting us to the soft opening. This is a great idea and well executed! This is basically the best option for people who just want to get in and out with their ice cream - there are ice cream bars, a limited range of flavors for scoops, milkshakes and custard. If you don't need a big sundae or a specific flavor- come here instead of waiting in line. Additionally, I have a peanut allergy and the team took the time and made sure that my milkshake was contaminant-free. This is also cash only Update: they take cards now!!

It's really cool that they have vegan options. While eating every day ice cream here isn't really economically sound, bring your tourist friends to experience Old City and have a little stop on this street. Or when you're feeling classy, but that $10 milkshake. There are lots of things to see and do nearby, and the line is sometimes worth it.

Got a single scoop of butter pecan ice cream. It was rich and creamy and very filling. While my top two flavors were not available, I would highly recommend the butter pecan flavor!

Oh my goodness.... How did I live my life in the NE and just get here for the first time!? Took my 8th grade field trip group here and there was something for everyone! I had a coke float to keep me going, the kids had sundaes in the cute takeout Co trainers. (be forewarned, the Co Tai ers may leak) The vegan coconut milk ice cream made a teen VERY happy to have an icy creamy treat like her friends!

I stumbled upon Franklin Ice Cream Bar while I was looking for Franklin Fountain, but my ice cream craving was quenched after their cotton candy ice cream! Franklin Ice Cream Bar has such an old-time feel and provides excellent service. The ice cream was a little pricey, but it was creamy and flavorful so I can't complain!

Went to the original Franklin Fountain first but ended up leaving the line to come check this place out because it's been on my list of dessert places to try out. The main attraction is the build your own ice cream bar option, where you first select vanilla or chocolate ice cream, then milk chocolate or dark chocolate coating, then 3 toppings (range from granola to coconut shavings to pistachios). You can also pick up pints or ready made sandwiches in the freezers on the side. We opted to make our own bar and also picked up a premade ice cream sandwich in the freezer. The bar was good (can't really mess up an ice cream bar) but definitely not worth $8. A large portion of the toppings fall off immediately as soon as you pick up the bar to eat it. I felt like I could have just bought a pack of ice cream bars at the grocery store for cheaper and added my own toppings at home. The ice cream sandwich was also very mediocre- we ordered the vanilla one sandwiched between chocolate chip cookies. The first thing I noticed when I bit into it was how hard it was- the cookies were hard and frozen from sitting in the freezer, and I'm of the opinion that the sandwich portion should be soft and chewy. I wouldn't recommend picking up one of these unless you leave it to sit for at least 5 minutes to let the cookie portion soften.

I have to say the ice cream here is probably the best in the area. There are no limits to the choices and combos. Is not just ice cream but floats, ice cream sodas and shakes. We arrived at 230pm, yeah the line was about 40 ppl deep, bit it was moving. I got scoop of mint chocolate chip and a scoop of strawberry, very creamy and you can taste real chunks of fruit. Not overly sweet, worth the wait. Staff is very friendly.

Shhhhhh. Franklin Ice Cream Bar is essentially The Franklin Fountain-lite. No line (shhhh) and they take credit cards!! So I passed by The Franklin Fountain on a Thursday night and the line was crazy. Also, I was cashless. As I walked away, I noticed that Franklin Ice Cream Bar was finally open. Apparently FICB can take credit cards because it is 1950s-themed, and FF can't because it's 1920s-themed (something along those lines). FICB has less flavors and items than FF but touts itself as carrying the most popular flavors. Works for me! Enjoyed my banana caramel ice cream with hot fudge and whipped cream, although it was as pricey as The Franklin Fountain. The staff was friendly and informative so I even threw a tip their way.

Ice cream to me is right up there on the most important things in life. Ice cream is one of the reasons I know I wouldn't be suited to live 100 years ago. We tried the Franklin Ice Cream Bar on the coldest day in November, but I don't think that affected how much I enjoyed it. The ice cream was good quality and the shell was thick and crispy. However, the oil they use in the shell is super duper unhealthy as far as I know. Unless they're sing something revolutionary the shell that crisps up like that is made with coconut oil. 2 tablespoons of coconut oil is 120% of your saturated fat for the day. It's delicious, but basically not something you should be eating. I think the biggest problem with this place is I didn't understand how it works. I still think I don't fully understand it. When you walk in there are packed freezer cases on the left. Those are for people who want to take the ice cream to go, that's totally separate from what they make for you when you want something custom made. Next, I didn't understand what the word bar meant in the name of the restaurant. A bar to me means alcohol or candy bar or "ice cream sandwich" type dessert where the ice cream is between two cookies, crusts, or other similar biscuit. The bar in this case is no alcohol, it is ice cream is served on a stick, like a popsicle. The next point of confusion has to do with the overhead menu when you're at the counter. The one sign looks like a list (order this first, then this type layout), but it's numbered 1.) 1.) 3.) It's not a list. It's saying you choose one of the first, then one of the next, then three of the last. I felt like I was crazy!!! I didn't even know what questions to ask to figure out what I didn't know! So quickly here's how it all works. You choose an ice cream flavor, chocolate or vanilla. Then a coating for the bar on a stick, milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Then you choose the toppings, they sprinkle the topping on the bar just as the coating is hardening so they stick real well. There are some toppings like marshmallow drizzle and I'm sure others. Or you can get ice cream/custard in cups/cones, hot fudge sundaes, or milkshakes.

This place is super cute ... but it is a tad weird to have Franklin Ice Cream Bar right next to Franklin Fountain. We didn't plan on going here and realized only after that we had gone to the wrong place. However they are the same establishment - they just sell different things. I got an ice cream bar ! There are two flavors - vanilla or chocolate and either milk or dark dipped. You can then add 3 toppings. For my bar I did vanilla with dark chocolate shell, potato chips, cacao nibs and caramel as my toppings! The combo was the perfect sweet, salty and crunchy! Everything tasted very fresh. I understand it's hand dipped but it seemed a tad pricey - $8 for one ice cream bar. Their menu wasn't super extensive. They offered simple sundaes and milkshakes as well as bars. They also had a giant freezer case. This location takes credit cards and the other does not. I absolutely loved how they hid the tablet inside of a book so you open the book to sign your name for your bill! Such a cool idea. Overall I love the soda shop vibes and vintage culture! This is a great little spot !

If you don't want to wait the long line at Franklin Fountain, come here! They still have a good selection of flavors and the line is much shorter. You can't go wrong with the hydrox cookie flavor!

Their ice cream bars are delicious! The quality ingredients really do make a difference. The retro decor is adorable and it makes you feel like a little kid. This place may be new, but they sure know what they are doing. They also have a freezer of to go pints and ice cream bars which is very handy when you're on a road trip. A great addition to the Shane Confectionery family.

Delicious vegan ice cream ! I had vanilla & it did not disappoint. Love the cute little retro theme they have going on and I'm so happy they accept cards unlike their sister store the Franklin fountain which only accepts cash. (Still love the franklin fountain also ! Just, only when I have cash on hand lol)

My sister and I have a tradition - we and our husbands go to the Franklin Fountain every single time I come home and visit. We love the old timey feel and the ice cream is delicious (as is the homemade hot fudge, holy moly). The only bad thing about the Fountain is the ridiculous wait on hot summer weekend days. So I was very pleased on my last visit to find that the business has opened a neighboring second ice cream shop called the Ice Cream Bar. As the sign says, same great ice cream with less wait. Yay for the laws of supply and demand. So this is indeed that... a larger shop with less wait for the same great ice cream. The notable standout here is a signature product, the aptly named ice cream bar. You get the ice cream of your choice and they press it into a keystone shaped bar. Then they dunk it in chocolate and you get your choice of three toppings. I went simple and got just my favorite topping, rainbow sprinkles. It was super good, and the perfect gooey texture to the half-frozen chocolate. So good. They serve it in a boat with a spoon and you will understand why. It's totally messy. But worth it.

The ice cream was so yummy I had the hydrox cookie and tried the custard in vanilla with hot fudge mine was good but the best thing was the fudge. Oh my gosh it's like dark chocolate and it was so good. I was confused by the menu and the guys working wasn't really eager to help me out. That's fine but I would like a little enthusiasm. Overall a decent experience!

Love the design of the store, very old fashion. There's a line but moves very quickly took me less than 5 minutes to place my order and received my ice cream. They serve the ice cream inside a mini Chinese take out box design for a cup which I thought was very cool.

Nice concept of hand-dipped ice cream bars and friendly staff! However, was definitely disappointed by a mediocre and overpriced ($8) ice cream bar. The ice cream sandwiches were also subpar with overly hard cookies. You better have good dental insurance!

I actually didn't know this place existed, until I arrived at Franklin Fountain a few doors down and learned that they don't take credit cards but this place does! Had been meaning to check this out, and it's the same ice cream, though smaller selection, so worked out nicely. They have a freezer of to-go items too. I will say the butter pecan was quite tasty and a very generous scoop, but the price was too high for what you get. $20 for two waffle cones with a single scoop each? Truthfully wasn't worth it. That being said, it's a Philly hot spot, so would never discourage anyone from checking it out, especially since it's in a nice area with lots of little restaurants and shops and places to walk around. Really nice workers!

I basically came to Philadelphia in order to get this ice cream again like I did two years ago, it is really beautiful place and the ice cream is delicious, and the portion is quite big, there is another little shop which is selling the same thing I didn't really see it before, the location is cute and camera friendly.

Great atmosphere and location. Portion sizes are good for the price and flavors are unique.
