Come on.it's real South Philly. Worth the brain freeze. Water ice and don't miss their ice cream.

What a gem and the reviews are spot on. Tried Cherry, Lemon and the Chocolate ice cream mix. Super affordably and staff are friendly.

Best Waterice in the city!
Always was & still is!
Though I do miss Italiano‘s Johns is like stepping back into the 80s for me!
Girls at the front are super cool & light up the place with beautiful smiles & politeness that you don't get at other places!

This place is always busy when I go there. But there's a reason. Now remember, this is water ice, not Italian ice from New York. Totally different. But almost the same. Very good stuff

You know it's a good place for Water Ice when there's a line waiting for it. It's a shame that the strawberry water ice specifically is a seasonal flavor, though, because it is amazing.

Delicious, refreshing water ice. There is a line and for good reason. It does mover very quickly though.

Used to be able to jump out your car and quickly grab and go. Now you can expect longer lines, but it's still worth it. They have your staple flavors and occasionally have new stuff.

Will be back. Cash or pay by app transactions only. Will be a line, but it moves fast. Delicious treats!

I would give this a 5 star, but I got cherry water ice last night and bit into something hard that numbed my tongue for a couple minutes and was spicy/acidic? There were also other globs of what I can assume is concentrated food coloring that stained my skin. Might need to mix up the water ice a bit more. AVOID THE CHERRY!

Other than that, every other flavor is delicious and the ice cream is some of the best around.

TRISTA.

Came here as part of a StrEats of Philly food tour and it was the perfect ending to a wonderful day. I got the mango water ice and it was light and refreshing. Our group ordered a variety of flavors: strawberry, lemon, and pineapple.not a disappointed person in the bunch.

Great service we went as a school trip of about 30kids and adults, staff was friendly quick service while attending to our group and regulars were also being attended to quickly. Lots of yummy flavors with good prices.

Quick service, fresh water ice. I had mango flavored and its was clear that the reason was real mango in the ice.
