Worth the Wait
When there is a long line, you know the ice cream will be good! ... The employees were all super friendly and they have unique and yummy flavors! I appreciated vegan and gluten free options.
$#%&*! That's good!
Family-friendly words can not describe how good the milkshakes are here. I had the Sea Salt Caramel, and my wife had the Hydrox Cookie the Original OREO.
A Scoop Above
Nothing to say but AMAZING. The ice cream itself is so so good but the floats and milkshakes push them over the top...Thank you Franklin Fountain for a perfect Philly experience!
