Philly's Franklin Ice Cream Bar Named Among Best Ice Cream Shops In US

PHILADELPHIA — If you're looking for some stellar ice cream, look no further than Franklin Ice Cream Bar in Philadelphia.

Franklin Ice Cream Bar, 112 Market Street in Old City Philadelphia, was recently named among the best ice cream shops in the country by Thrillist.

The spot is an extension of the classic, old-timey, and popular Franklin Fountain ice cream shop, which is just two doors up Market Street from Franklin Ice Cream Bar

Franklin Ice Cream Bar offers all the fan favorites, including caramelized banana, Hydrox, rocky road, coffee, and more.

Additionally, the menu has sundaes, milkshakes, and ice cream cakes and pies.

Here's what Thrillist said about Franklin Ice Cream Bar:

The Franklin Ice Cream Bar is the latest vintage ice cream shop to open in the Franklin Fountain family. Specializing in hand-dipped chocolate roasted at nearby Shane Confectionery and sprinkled with a ton of while toppings, the shop also features ice cream, frozen custard, vegan options, and take-home pints. This bespoke parlor does serious things with ice cream, churning its own concoctions that include a stunner of a Honeycomb ice cream, a Cookies and Cream that ditches Oreos for Hydrox (the original sandwich cookie), and a nod to local favorite teaberry gum. They’re all but screaming to be tossed in a sundae or split and covered in homemade hot fudge or piled on the iconic Mt. Vesuvius sundae, which rises high from a base of brownies.
