Why Our Richmond Personal Injury Lawyers Think Weckerly's Is One of the Best Ice Cream Shops in Philly

If you're in the Fishtown area on a hot day and looking for an ice-cold treat, our Richmond personal injury lawyers highly recommend a stop at Weckerly's ice cream. This shop offers unique French-style ice cream made with all kinds of fresh ingredients. There are other great ice cream places nearby, but this one stands out as one of our favorites not just in Philly, but anywhere. Here are some reasons why we think Weckerly's stands out from the pack as one of the East Coast's best ice cream shops:

Ice Cream Making Process

Weckerly's makes fresh ice cream using a variety of fruit, herbs, eggs, and dairy. All of their ingredients are sourced by nearby farms. Their products are made using a French method which is hundreds of years old. They use organic milk from Camphill Village Dairy, which is 36 miles from the Weckerly's Creamery.

Creamery

Weckerly's has their own creamery where they make their authentically homemade ice creams. Little known fact - many ice cream shops, even though that call themselves "homemade",  actually use premade mixes to create their flavors. But Weckerly's uses traditional techniques and fresh ingredients to make theirs. The magic happens at their own 350-square-foot dairy plant. Not only is the ice cream made here, but they also pasteurize the milk, cream, eggs, and sugars that they use in every recipe.

Flavors

Weckerly's offers a diverse selection of both seasonal and permanent ice cream flavors. Everything is freshly made with high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the difference. They've also become well-known for their gourmet ice cream sandwiches.

Some of the flavors you might find at Weckerly's Ice Cream include:

• Honeysuckle - Limited-time flavor using hundreds of hand-picked honeysuckle flowers steeped in milk for 36 hours. If you grew up in a neighborhood with these flowers, this is a truly nostalgic taste.
• Beard of Bees - Amber autumn honey with almond streusel
• Creme Fraiche Cranberry - House-cultured organic cream and New Jersey cranberries
• Meadow Mint - Fresh dairy steeped with locally-grown mint, featuring swirls of handmade fudge sauce
• Ramble Tamble - Organic fair-trade Dominican cocoa, salted caramel, and buckwheat graham cracker crumb

And here are some of our favorite ice cream sandwich options at Weckerly's:

• Black and White - Organic chocolate and fair-trade vanilla sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies
• Breakfast Club - Oatmeal cookies with cinnamon-toasted oat ice cream and seasonal fruit butters in the middle.
• Strawberry Lovage - Roasted strawberry ice cream, strawberry jam, and piquant lovage ice cream sandwiched between two lemon shortbread cookies
