This is the second and last time I’ll ever order from here. Last week I ordered a blue berry pie sundae I basically paid $8 for a cup of vanilla ice cream and a small scoop of blueberry on top. Tonight I ordered a banana split and it was All over the bag, looks like it was Literally shaken up. I couldn’t even make out what it was And the Icecream is all mostly melted.
I would give it zero stars if I could. I order on grub hub at 7:15 and it kept saying in the works. 9:10 pm I decided to call the store to find out what’s going on with my order and they said it will be another 45 minutes. So 3 hours for ice cream ?!Now I have to sit on the line with grub hub to cancel my order. Beyond frustrated!! Not even a courtesy call letting me know they were backed up. How behind could you be with ice cream?! Never again!!
Love. Cant wait to go back. Love that they have tables outside. My daughter and I went there for the first time the other night and sat outside. I had the funnel cake, with ice-cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, topped with a cherry. My daughter had her first cone of strawberry ice-cream. Shes a fan. Staff was great. I hope this place does well!
I always come to this place, and I quite enjoy it. The ice cream always tastes good, and the service is always pleasant because the staff are very friendly and clean. People keep complaining about the wait being long, but if a place is crowded, they should not have to rush to serve the ice cream, people should expect a wait if the place is crowded. And when they are not crowded, their is not a wait. I go when it is crowded and not crowded, and I do not get tired of waiting.
J ordered last night and i must say this was by far the worst experience ever with ice cream. I ordered 2 banana splits a order fried oreo and ice cream on a brownie. The brownie was rock hard and the oreo were deformed and looked like they were sitting for hours never again. You dont get anything fresh from there
Love love this place so much, the service is great and everything they have looks good and of course what I had was delicious. I ordered the classic banana split and it was delicious, this is my summer spot for ice cream. Everyone must go to this place you will not regret it..
I highly recommend Munchies! The ice cream is amazing and the people are so friendly! My faves: Fudge Brownie milkshake, Banana Smash milkshake, Cookie Attack, ice cream with Belgian waffles...actually everything there is so good, its tough picking one favorite. The prices are reasonable as well. Super friendly owner and employees. Outdoor seating. ATM outdoors.
Ice cream great but order ahead & what ever time they say wait another 20 minutes.If you just walk up to window & there is no line, dont let that fool you be prepared to wait for a very very very long time. I think they dont have a person working the window & getting their order & then another working call in orders , they should! it would be faster, instead of the people waiting in the heat outside for 1 hour. Sweatie, tired, want a shower & air conditioning now, NOT THE ICE CREAM.
If your looking for ice cream don’t order from here excessive wait times every time I go to this ice cream shop the owners an workers are so nasty rude a disrespectful so unprofessional not to mention they let a little boy probably 8-10 deliver their orders just overall a very bad experience wouldn’t recommend
This place is absolutely AHHMAZING. The staff (I believe they were the owners parents who waited on us) were the definition of jolly & welcoming. The flavors that they offer are out of this world and the prices!! YOU WONT GET THEM ANYWHERE ELSE THATS FOR SURE! Ive never left a ice cream parlor so happy a day in my life. I will for SURE be back next week!! I give this place a 20 out of 10!
The good: Nice people.The bad: No masks. No gloves. Long wait. Employees grabbing cups from top, fingers grasping the cups insides.The worst: After scooping the ice cream, an employee used their gloveless fingers to push the ice cream out of scoop. Then proceeded to use their hand to mash the ice cream into the cup.This dude used his fingers time after time to push the ice cream out of the scoop. That is nasty under normal circumstances; unacceptable in a pandemic.I know the owner is vocal on here and has adverse reactions to negative reviews. I have been in the industry for decades and respect your hustle. But the hands in people’s ice cream is nasty. Expect a visit from the health inspector.
No masksEdit: in response to the businesss comment: you are clearly uneducated about the Delta variant, how children are catching a dying from this variant, and immunocompromised people are still at risk. So this review is for people like that.Also the mask mandate in Philadelphia is REGARDLESS of vaccination status when indoors. You are wrong.
Overkill on the Covid pill. I.e. the takeout packaging my ice cream cone was enveloped encased, or otherwise left hanging. And for this one, thats exactly what happened. This is not hearsay. I was there (say).You were keeping me hanging for my ice cream. For your insistence to start everything from scratch. Noble gesture and a beautiful testament to the value you place on friendship and a community. But does everything literally have to be heaped on you?
Horrible horrible horrible customer service coming from a manager if your a paying customer and I’m yelling you something is doesn’t taste right it tastes funny you should accommodate the paying customer then you mess up our order and got a attitude cause you guys messed it up HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICES SKILS COMING FROM THE YOUNG MANAGER,... AS HIS EMPLOYEE SAID HES UNDER ALOT OF STRESS CAUSE BUSINESS IS SLOW AND THEY GOT NEW SYSTEMS WHICH WE ALL UNDERSTOOD BUT YOU SHOULD NOT WHAT SO EVER TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT ON A PAYING CUSTOMER AND STEAL MONEY JUST BECAUAE YALL MESSED UP OH BY THE WAY THE TRANSACTION WAS DISPUTED GOT MY MONEY BACK DONT EVER EAT HERE YOU GUYS TAKE YOUR MONEY ESLE WHERE

2022-06-12My go to late night snack//ice cream spot. So good!! Such a friendly staff and reasonable prices so much better than nifty fiftys who charges $8.50 for their milkshakes. Crazy

2022-06-12Horrible ice cream shop. Order is late every single time; it should not take an hour and a half to scoop ice cream and deliver it one block away. Also, ice cream arrives as soup despite the short distance. Dont bother calling the store, they dont answer, hang up on you, or leave you forgotten on hold.

2022-04-05Assalamualaykum brothers and sisters. Peace be upon you. Not halal. There are dogs in the store. Not the most friendliest and make sure to have some patience. 30 minutes wait. God Bless this Ramadan month.

2021-11-17An order was placed for delivery to our hotel. After 75 minutes I called and was told by a nice lady that our order had left to be delivered some time ago. After 90 minutes we called back and was told by the same lady who was not nice this time that there was no order...but our card had been charged so...IDK, but we wont be ordering from there again.

2021-07-27Ordered online and took 3 hours. This isn’t the 1st time they’ve taken forever. I ordered over the phone 2 other times and both times took over 2 hours. It’s sad because I love their ice cream but they’re either understaffed or can’t seem to manage orders. This happened last summer too. (grub hub added an additional 40 minutes after 11:34*)

2022-03-29Ridiculous wait times. And I’m guessing I’m not the only who agrees. And judging from the responses they do not like feedback. They take it as insult. Interesting

2020-08-26Absolutely love this place! From the friendly staff to the reasonable prices you and your family are in for a year round treat. Munchies has a large menu with delicious recipes such as the Smores Overload milkshake and once you have your first bite, your taste buds will not be disappointed. THIS PLACE IS TRULY A GEM OF SOUTH PHILLY
