Philly Mag named Ardmore's 1-900-ICE-CREAM as one of the region's best.

Here's what the publication says about the shop, located at 18 W. Lancaster Ave. in Ardmore:

Waiting for 1-900’s weekly ice cream drops is like waiting for new HBO legacy television to come out. They make all of their flavors in gelato machines in their Kensington factory — super-rich, creamy ice cream absolutely packed with add-ins like Italian rainbow cake, vanilla pudding swirl, and fudgy gingerbread cubes — then distribute the goods to 1-900’s full-time scoop shop in Ardmore and pick-up locations. Make sure to stop by the Ardmore location for soft serve (which isn’t available at the other two spots).

A few other Main Line spots made the cut as well, including Hope’s Country Fresh Cookies in Bryn Mawr, Koffmeyer’s in Havertown, and Handel’s in Berwyn.
