New Ice Cream, Cookie Shop Helps Beat The Heat

If you cannot beat the heat at the pool, the next best thing is to grab some ice cream.

Koffmeyer's Old Fashion Ice Cream and Cookies opened at its 7 Brookline Blvd. location in Havertown recently and has been serving a wide variety of tasty ice cream and cookies.

Eric Koffler, the son of Bruce Koffler who is owner of the business, said that once it gets hot, say around 80 degrees or so, people are walking outside and enjoying the nice weather. And if they are passing by the store, they usually stop in for a cold treat.

“Business has been good ever since (we opened in Havertown),” he said.

Koffmeyer’s has been in the cookie business since 1978 in parts of Philadelphia and Conshohocken and has recently added Leiby’s Premium Ice Cream to its shops, stated its website.

Since it opened its Havertown shop in March of this year—which features free wifi—Koffler said that some of the most popular cookies have been the classic chocolate chip, but also vanilla chip macadamia nut.

The Haverford-Havertown Patch’s junior taste testers agreed that the chocolate soft serve ice cream with sprinkles was excellent and the banana-fudge milkshake was pretty good.
