The Ice Cream Bar

The Franklin Ice Cream Bar is the newest member of the Franklin Fountain family, specializing in made to order Keystone Bars hand-dipped in Bean-to-Bar Chocolate roasted at Shane Confectionery and sprinkled with a selection of delectable toppings. Continuing the Franklin Fountain’s commitment to locally-sourced ingredients, our milk and cream is procured from a local 1920s family dairy. The menu also includes our signature ice cream, frozen custard, vegan options, and take-home pints and quarts of house-made Franklin Ice Cream. Franklin Ice Cream Bar is open seasonally Spring-Fall. Our main location, Franklin Fountain, is open daily year round!

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Philadelphia follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
