Bow-tie-wearing staff dispense classic ice cream parlor/soda fountain treats in an old-timey space. Amazing ice cream place right by Penn's Landing & Old City

The best ice cream in Philly! But bring some papers because they only take cash!

After a tiring day of touristing, treat yourself to a ridiculously delicious ice cream sundae from Franklin Fountain. Cash only, and defiantly "old-timey" despite having been founded in 2004, but the concoctions are SO. GOOD. And it's short walk from Independence Hall.

This old timey ice cream shop and soda fountain is a real blast from the past, with locally made offerings and classic American decor. Cash only.
