We were driving down to the plumbing distribution center and Buddy’s caught my eye. On the way back decided to stop here and see what they are about. We weren’t disappointed. They have a smaller menu but really that’s all you need. I decided to get a gelati chocolate water ice vanilla ice cream with a soft pretzel. I was surprised the soft pretzel was soft fresh with the slightest bit of a crunch. The gelati is served with hard ice cream. I highly recommend to come here. I will be coming back when in town.

We have been going to Buddys for many many years. There is no other that compares. We moved away from the area but recently visited and of course Buddy's was a must stop. Its still as good as ever and we stocked up to bring them back with us. A few minutes of thawing and they are delicious! I just savored my last stock up cup. Will have to make another trip just to restock. Rita's? Ummm not even close. BUDDYS. The absolute best!!!

It’s an absolute institution! Do people give me crap because I usually get the chocolate and for some reason folks are haters? Yes. That’s on them though. If you want some authentic, Philly area water ice from the first place I ever had it as a kid, hit up Buddy’s! So good!

Best water ice I could ever taste I’ve been going here since I been born and that was in 2010

★★★★★ 5.0 John Grav · Apr 2024

Rita's is garbage, ViaVento is nothing special , John's in South Philly always disappoints, waayyy over hyped! Buddy's(Nick) I wish u sold franchises, so more people could taste the BEST! Plus I would love to own 1 in Lancaster Co.
