    Not Worth The Money

    We ordered two ice cream sodas. One was a root beer float and the other was a Lady's Choice. We found the ice cream mediocre (Bassett's is 100 times better) and the sodas weren't cold enough. At $6.50 each plus tax, we could have done better buying a 1/2 gallon of Breyers and a bottle of A & W root beer. The ice cream is way below par and way over priced.

    The best ice cream in the city!

    Love Frankin Fountain! The staff is wonderful and friendly and the ice cream is delicious. The homeade Hot Fudge is a real treat. Try it over cinnamon ice cream if it's available. It's my children's favorite and the staff knows their orders we go there so often. As tourist season approaches, lines get longer and they seem to be understaffed at times. But, I admit it's worth the wait.

    I scream, you scream...

    Definitely the best ice cream I've ever had, the price is proportionate to what you get, and the people are always friendly. Most places would charge as much as them, but very few would give you ice cream scoops the size of baseballs. My girlfriend and I split sundaes or sometimes just a medium cup. And the people are always fast and friendly. On slow days if the brothers are there, be sure to say hi.

    If you haven't been yet... it's time.

    Franklin Fountain, though still young, has instantly become a Philadelphia treasure. I think it might be impossible to walk in the door without being filled with delight, regardless of your age. For this reason, I always make sure to bring out-of-town visitors. The space and the delicacies are clearly a labor of love -- from the marble fountain to the array of yummy phosphates (hadn't had a phosphate since childhood!). They seem to pay great attention to the quality of ingredients and my understanding is they also try to use local ingredients as much as possible. Truly a gem.

    Best Ice Cream in the City

    This place is among my favorite in the city. I go about once a week in the summertime. The staff is great--friendly as can be--and it's authentically old-fashioned. My fave is the Hydrox cookie ice cream--yes, everything's old school. No oreos here. You can't miss, and before you know it, you'll be a regular.
