John's Water Ice

Love this place so much!! The staff is always friendly, which makes for such a wonderful experience. As for the Water Ice and the Ice Cream.... don't even get me started on that. No matter what flavor you get it is always out of this world! I highly recommend going to John's right now!

I really wanted to like the water ice from here but I didn't at all. I ordered a mango and I'm not even sure if I got that flavor or not. I didn't taste it until I was down the street and didn't want to turn back, but I also could NOT figure out what flavor it was, it just tasted like frozen sugar water. As far as the staff, the girls were just ok. I asked what flavor they had and the one girl just pointed to the board. Overall, I will not go back here, plenty of other flavorful water ice places. sorry, i really wanted to like it.

Interesting variety. Some standard flavors and some special ones. Also can get ice cream, and layered water ice and ice cream.

Great water ice. Good Pretzels too

John’s water ice has been the best water ice I’ve known since I was a child. Their pineapple and lemon water rice Do not compare to any other establishment. The fact that they have one now outside of south Philly is ideal. Love this place! It never disappoints!

My family and I went to the Philmont location tonight. The 2 young ladies that were working went above and beyond for us. They were sold out of pretzels as it was close to the end of the night. Instead of just saying “we are out”, they both offered right away to make more for us. We never felt that it was an inconvenience in any way! It wasn’t about the pretzels at that point, it was about the gesture and customer service at such a young age. I wish I would have gotten their names because they deserve recognition. One was blonde and one was brunette around high school age. It meant a lot. It was our first time there and due to great service and very good summer treats, we will definitely be back soon! Thanks girls!

Went for the water ice and when I found out they had oat milk soft serve (dairy free), I got that and omg it’s the best soft serve I’ve had. Nothing compares to it and I almost cried tears of joy knowing I found a place I can enjoy ice cream again without dairy!

I’ve tried a handful of water ice places in Philly, and I can confidently say that John’s is my favorite. They don’t have 50 different flavors and that’s OK - because the flavors they do offer are exceptional.

The best local water ice. Not as good as center city but a close second. They need more business to expand their hours The location is kind of inconvenient and parking is a PIA.

The best water ice! It's always fresh and delicious, the staff is always so nice. Highly recommend this place!

Gelati was super good and the soft serve was nice and creamy!! The ice cream flavors were super fun too. We enjoyed it a lot, perfect summer treat!
