A must-visit every single time I’m in Philly! The pistachio ice cream at Franklin Fountain is incredible and tastes like real, genuine pistachios. Easily one of the best spots in the city!

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.

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.
