Weckerly's Ice Cream & Coffee

This is the ice cream place you go to if you want something new, unconventional, artisanal. You can tell that the ice cream is well-made/intentional and high-quality. I got the cookie dough ice cream, which was the only “traditional” flavor, and it contained many large pieces of cookie dough, so it did its name justice. They had a variety of flavors and consistencies like sorbet and soft serve, as well as hand scooped. I think my only suggestion would be to have more options that didn’t include fruits/nuts but that is a personal preference.

I love Weckerly’s! Why? Take a gander at the ice cream tubs and note the spectrum of fine pastel colors, evidence of careful natural flavoring, of commitment. I could list all the beguiling flavors for quite some time, but I will spare you and just say this: Bring your appetite.

Wonderful stop for delicious desserts! The flavors are plentiful with options to please all. Gluten Free options were clearly marked as were other allergen ingredients. The creamy silky smooth texture blended with exciting flavors made it hard to make a decision. I had the Spicy Coffee with walnuts which was very pleasing to the plate. Samples are available to help you make your choice. Looking forward to visiting again for another taste of Weckerly’s. PS: my daughter included their ice cream sandwiches as part of her wedding desserts two years ago and they were a complete success!

New location alert! Located between Rittenhouse and Center City, this spot is just a short stroll away and perfect for an ice cream break. I tried the dark chocolate and pistachio swirl soft serve, loved the chocolate chips in the dark chocolate, but the pistachio was a bit too mild for me. There are 17 scoop flavors available today, and the place has four outdoor tables with a cute seating area.

This place is lovely and elegant. The workers are friendly and kind. I don’t know some of their names, but a worker named Zack is amazing. He made my iced latte and offered samples. I love the flower design. 🤍🩷

the consistency and flavor was really good! they have unique flavors; we got spiced carrot cake, spiced coffee, and dark chocolate hazelnut praline. i think the pricing is average for ice cream in philly, i believe it was $7-8 for the small cup and $9-10 for the big one. def worth trying!

The best ice cream in center city!! The flavors are so unique and delicious, you can’t find most of them anywhere else. Especially recommend the sandwiches. Also, large selection of vegan flavors which was a plus for my lactose intolerant friend!

Artisan ice cream, good Espresso. Vegan and gluten free options. Top notch service. I went with the Pistachio option and it didn't disappoint.

Listen. I came here for a scoop of ice cream, not a full-blown existential crisis. I thought I'd be in and out in five minutes. Instead, I sampled what felt like half the menu and aged approximately three years trying to make a decision. Every flavor was rich, poignant, delicious, and somehow emotionally complex -- like each scoop had a backstory and a moral lesson. At one point, I was holding a tiny spoon, staring into space, questioning my entire personality. "Am I a spice person today ? Or an almond croissant chaos gremlin?" The staff was patient -- almost too patient -- like they'd seen this kind of meltdown before. They probably keep tissues behind the counter for people who realize too late that the pistachio is, in fact, transcendent. Eventually, I committed. I won't tell you which flavor because I want you to suffer the same beautiful indecision I did... it was the olive oil cake and the almond croissant... But when I finally sat down, took my first bite, and let it melt into a slow-motion montage of joy and regret -- I knew. This wasn't ice cream. This was therapy in dairy form. Was it expensive? Sure. But so is enlightenment.

Yummy vegan lemon curd! Super creamy and not overwhelmingly coconut (I don't know what milk base it is) and not too lemony. It was more creamy than refreshing. The cherry cola was quite soda like which was cool A scoop goes for $6 so def a treat for me. Would go try the matcha ice cream sandwich

1. I am not an ice cream lover. 2. I am lactose intolerant, so much so that it can take me down if I have too much. Yeah, it's that bad. 3. French is one of my top 2 favorite cuisines. So when I noticed that this wasn't just any ice cream shop but French-Style ice cream I had to see what it was all about. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your body for something yummy. Lol. So what makes it French-Style? Weckerly uses a custard base, which includes egg yolks, resulting in a richer, smoother, and creamier texture. Right off the bat 5 Stars for having some of the most unique flavors. What intrigued me was that some of them were a mix of sweet and savory. If you can't decide just ask for a tiny spoon sample taste. Here is an example of their seasonal menu on this hot August day... - Buttermilk Pepper Jelly - Lavender Goat Cheese - Coconut Mango Cashew - Corn Toffee Chewy Cookie If these flavors don't excite you then I don't know what does. But what caught my eye were their homemade ice cream sandwiches. I let my son choose and he picked their seasonal Blueberry Dream. The top and bottom layers is made with chocolate cookies. Then one thick slab of cookies & cream and blueberry ice cream. The middle has a blueberry jam stripe. As I kept taking bites the thought of possibly having a tummy-ache escapes my mind. You can tastes that it's homemade. Best ice cream sandwich ever!! Omg, so so good. I did share it with my son so I was okay. I look forward to coming back when I am in the area. There are 2 locations: Rittenhouse & Fishtown (Original location)

Interesting flavors. The almond croissant was a banger. The mochi gochujang was okay but the almond croissant was the one I ultimately chose. They let you try samples. The pieces of croissant in the ice cream was delicious.

Congrats to Weckerly's on this exciting location addition! A few blocks from me, beautifully decorated, bright, a handful of outdoor benches to enjoy your treats, and a spot that will hopefully stick around for years to come. The Rittenhouse ice cream scene is alive with options at this moment. Where I think Weckerly's stands out (I eat a lot of ice cream both professionally and personally) is with their care in flavor. They don't go big or outrageous for no reason, sticking to simplistic flavor combos and executing perfectly. I went with a cone of the buttercake and was blown away. As someone who loves mix-ins and a broad textural experience in my ice cream eating, this is a 10/10. Also head to Weckerly's for fabulous vegan options from sorbets to coconut creams and more. They also cater to your gluten free friends and overall do a great job denoting what's in what. The sandwiches are also not to be missed. My new go-to might be a cone for today and a sandwich for tomorrow to go. As I said, I EAT A LOT OF ICE CREAM. Thank you to Weckerly's for opening this fabulous shop.

Everyone I know has been raving about Weckerly's ice cream sandwiches so I had to pop in to try. The ice cream flavor menu is extensive. So much so, that I'll need to come back to this location and try more. This time I went with the Cherry Blossom ice cream sandwich. Two thick slabs of unique flavors sealed together by a cookie (don't tell my dentist). The inside counter top or outside benches will be perfect sit, chat, people watch, and enjoy a delectable treat. Staff were also super friendly and knowledgeable. These people really enjoy ice cream.

This place was SO GOOD!!! Such a cute little shop, and I can totally understand why. I absolutely love trying all of the different flavors there and I was just impressed with how unique and perfect each one was. The staff was super friendly and I ended up asking them what flavor they recommended and to surprise me with that. I was definitely not disappointed at all, because I felt like they cannot go wrong with any choice. Also, the scoops were a pretty generous size which was great.

I'm glad that on my second visit, there's no line. I was disappointed that the Dubai chocolate is no longer available. Update from my first review: the ice cream sandwich is available behind the register. You need to order it from the staff. I got the strawberry matcha and it didn't disappoint. The fresh strawberries are very refreshing. I also tried the Irish cream and I love it.

I've been here a few times now, love this place! They have so many unique ice cream flavors. My favorite so far was apricot tahini. It's a cute shop with some seating inside and outside

Newer and bigger location! Went as part of Yelp event, but I can say that I'm very impressed by their flavor offerings. I've been to their Fishtown location and wasn't a huge fan of their ice cream sandwiches that they're know for so I was pleasantly surprised by the offerings here! We were allowed to try some flavors before deciding too, which was nice. Would come back to try more

Have tried different flavors and was also able to get the ice cream sandwich most recently which was so lovely. They also deliver. Staff are nice as well.

It was the closest ice cream place to my location and I'm pretty thrilled that it was. Somehow have never tried Weckerly's and have now been back twice. My wife is obsessed with the lemon blueberry oat something. The shop we went to was small but bright and had some bar seating. The person working was nice and let us try like every flavor. Excited to go back.

So glad that Weckerly's Ice Cream has made it to Rittenhouse! A cold brew float with dark chocolate hazelnut ice cream and some scoops of Dubai chocolate and peanut butter buckeye was just what a humid summer day in Philly required. Next time will need to try the soft serve!

Delicious and a very pretty space! There's a lot going on in there: ice cream, sorbet, coffee, the sandwiches. Lots of variety with flavors but it is very pricey for a smaller amount of ice cream. The staff is very nice and there are a lot of them to tackle a summer line. My ice cream sandwich was delicious but a touch too sea salty.

The ice cream is great, but the service is what makes Weckerly's my new favorite place in Center City. Shout out to Amanda who was so nice and patient when I went for the first time!

Yay! I am so happy Weckerlys opened this location in rittenhouse! I stopped by on Sunday late afternoon. There was a short line out the door but it went quickly. I liked the light bright interior with some seating near the window and the large counter with so many ice cream flavors! It was honestly a little hard for me to read the menu until I got close to the counter but they have so many flavors including some vegan options, as well as sandwiches, and coffee - I'm going to have to come earlier in the day and try an affogato! I tried 2 flavors - Dubai chocolate and caramel cheesecake. I chose 1 scoop of Dubai chocolate which I enjoyed outside on one of the benches since it was a beautiful day. They also had a big cooler filled with pints - so many delicious options! Weckerlys is my favorite!!

Honestly the new location while being bigger and nicer was a disappointment compared to their fishtown location. The saddest part I asked to get my soft serve in a cone and instead of telling they were out of their famous waffle cones I got my soft serve in a gross grocery store styrofoam cone.

I've been to several ice cream places in Philly and this one is just not worth to go back again. There are many handmade ice cream shops in Philly! It means Philly is a very compatible city for ice cream shops (you can see my other reviews for better ice cream places) Staffs are very friendly and service is very pleasant, they let us try different flavors prior to the purchase. But, the size of a scoop is not worth the price they charge ($7/scoop) and the flavor is just very heavy in general. If you like heavy cream like ice cream, you will like it. They do have quite a few options for vegan as well. Some of staffs are still not fully trained to scoop ice cream yet, so just be mindful of your ice cream scoop shape will not be perfect as you imagine. I also tried their famous "sandwich ice cream", which they only have 2 kinds to choose from and they're also pre-packaged (not freshly made from scoops). The ice cream sandwich is also overpriced for its portion & flavor-wise from my stand point. They're only outdoor seating areas but not that much seatings. Will not going back here to buy ice cream (not worth to buy with my own money), but will enjoy it if someone buys for me

Wandering and bar hopping on a Saturday night, and realized Weckerly's had a (new-ish?) location in Rittenhouse - what a brilliant addition to the neighborhood. The line was out the door, but moved with expedience and had a fun, summery, pleasant vibe. The ice cream was predictably terrific, and I will certainly plan on a prompt return. Great spot that lived up to and exceeded the considerable hype.

Fast service, a wide selection of ice cream (and ice cream sandwich!) flavors, and a whole new coffee menu! Plus there was a fully stocked freezer with to-go ice cream pints. We also took advantage of the comfy outdoor benches to sit and enjoy our ice cream in the shade. The Lemon Berry Graham sandwich was rich and flavorful with the perfect amount of berry sweetness. Definitely recommend stopping here for amazing ice cream and a gorgeous new storefront!

I'd love to leave a better review but based on my experience I'd say one star is enough. I was there the first week this location opened. Appeared to be a soft opening as management was there going over details etc on their laptops. It happened to be a rainy day but I had plans to meet a friend there. Turns out I was early and she was late so I sat at a barstool to wait. Instead of greeting me or asking me if I had questions or needed anything, the staff began to talk about me loitering due to the rain and how rude I was. I happened to be the only person in the store and they were not quiet about their feelings. The person behind the register said he was going to kick me out and another staff called me a piece of shit. If I hadn't been meeting a mentee there I would have confronted the staff. I even left a tip despite how nasty they were. The ice cream is good- but I won't ever go back. Not sure where they were basing their assumptions on but I can't help to feel racially targeted. Regardless, I'll stick to Milk Jawn where the scoops are huge, the price is $5 for a single scoop and the staff isn't outwardly rude or assumptive.

Delicious ice cream with creative flavors. Nice to sit outside when the weather permits.

Cute and yummy local ice cream place. Got there about 20 minutes before closing one night and luckily most flavors were still available. You can sample any flavor before ordering. Highly recommend the mint chip!

The building smelled like raw sewage when you walked in (the couple behind us said the exact same thing) and it was the worst Icecream I've ever had (super icy). I do not understand why everyone keeps hyping this place up on social media! Worst $10 Icecream cone I've ever had
