An old-fashioned ice cream parlor with a nostalgic soda fountain vibe and bow-tie-wearing staff creating a unique vintage experience. The menu includes multiple dairy-free, coconut-based vegan ice cream flavors and several vegan toppings, making it well-loved by vegans despite its somewhat high prices and occasional container issues. Outdoor seating is available, and the atmosphere is both charming and casual, perfect for a sweet treat stop in Philadelphia.
