Real fruit water ice & gelati, boardwalk treats, and friendly service
"A West Philly staple founded by a former Temple student, this shop packs chunks of whole fruit into every spoonful and highlights creative combinations like mango lemonade, hibiscus ginger, and a spiced coconut coquito." - Regan Stephens
"Siddiq’s makes you feel like you’re on a Jersey Shore boardwalk that just happens to be in the middle of West Philly. The water ice flavors range from classics like lemon and raspberry to specialty flavors like coquito. And as the name suggests, they’re all made with real fruit. They also serve carnival food like funnel cake and cotton candy in addition to water ice, and you can hang out at their umbrella-covered tables to eat it all." - candis mclean
"Siddiq Moore started selling water ice on Temple University’s campus in 1995. He gained a loyal following for his creative flavors like white grape, strawberry coconut, and kiwi, and then launched a small fleet of mobile carts before opening a permanent shop in West Philly to sell fruity water ice and gelati. Siddiq’s has a second location just outside the city, in Chester, with a drive-thru and lunch options." - Dayna Evans
"There are a few reasons to head to West Philly on your first trip here: to geotag your “in West Philadelphia, born and raised” picture, to check out some of our great African restaurants, and to get the city’s most treasured dessert from Siddiq’s. We're talking about water ice, which is basically an ice so finely grained it’s whipped, in flavors ranging from classics like lemon and watermelon to some creative ones like white grape and strawberry daiquiri with bits of real fruit. They also serve other snacks that will transport you to the Jersey Shore, like funnel cake and cotton candy, all of which can be eaten under the umbrellas out front." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
