The Icery

Ordered two frozen gelato cakes online (strawberry shortcake and the hazelnut one). Best ever! Reasonably priced also.

I am so in love with the icery. I dumped cold stone for this. I would love to be going here everyday. Every time they have a new flavor of gelato, yet to try the soft serve and the rest.
The interior décor is so cool and the staff are the best.
Long live icery, you’re indeed the coolest place.
I will be going here everyday till the close.hahaa.if my pocket and weight allows.

Tonight was my first time at The Icery and I was very pleased. Even though being on a busy street, they still succeeded with a cute atmosphere inside and out. They have plenty of gelato flavors to choose from along with ice pops. I asked about their milkshakes and they actually call them Ice Shakes. They mix a water ice flavor with either vanilla or chocolate ice cream. I ordered the creamy banana with vanilla and it was delicious! Their checkout system is also highly up to date with a touch screen allowing you to select a tip if you choose.

Great pistachio gelato. Everything is fresh. Minus one star because the owner, the face of the business, has never bothered with a hello or even a smile to his customers the number of times we’ve been there. Attitude matters.

The icery is delicious. The water ice is flavorful like ritas but less costly. The Gelato is creamy and has the consistency of ice cream. It’s better than cocco’s!!!

Next to the Avenue Deli and Farmers Market, Water Ice and Gelato are top notch. I have had others and I love this place. My son said the water ice taste like real mango. Nice addition to Lansdowne.

We love this place! Only sorry we hadn’t discovered it last summer. Every time I visit, I leave with a new «favorite» flavor. The chocolate raspberry is so delicious. The Philly cream cheese is amazing, especially when mixed with a fruit flavor. You can request a flavor and they’ll make it for you. They make sugar-​free flavors too, which is great for diabetics! The cost is about the same as the fro-​yo places in the area, but this is so much better. They also offer soft serve for the kids or as a less expensive option, and homemade water ice as well. A great place to cool off on a hot day — or any time you crave a sweet treat! They have a frequent customer program too.

Philly cream cheese gelato. That should be all I leave for my review. Seriously. So. Good. The décor of the shop is so cool! Cozy and modern. Definitely has a small town feel with all of the little kid drawings on the wall and donation jar for the Lansdowne theatre. I can’t wait to go again. They have water ice, gelato, soft serve, pops, shakes and gelato cakes! I want to try everything! !!

Absolutely delicious! Seriously, try it. The Gelato flavor were so fresh and inventive… And smooth and refreshing! My piece of advice is to go a size smaller than you think. It’s very delicious but it’s dense, so you don’t need as much you would for regular ice cream.
My husband got orange marshmallow and while it was utterly delicious, it was strong and he didn’t need a whole cup of it. One of my girls got pomegranate and strawberry lemonade and I’ll be honest, I would bathe in the pomegranate. It was amazing. We tasted quite a few flavors before the other of my girls could decide and she went for m&m and birthday cake. She definitely enjoyed every bite. I tried one of their pops and it was SO good. Although next time I’ll go with one not dipped in lemon coating because while delicious, it was strong.
On Saturdays, they have macarons delivered and of course since they’re my favorite I had to try them. The cookie was delicious, the fillings were a little too heavy on the buttercream or butter or cream cheese. I don’t know, they were just thick. They were good, though!
The place is adorable and the employee that we had was just so wonderful with my family who had such a hard time deciding! I will without a doubt return, and I’d love to try their water ice. They claim to have been voted the best in Delco!

Stopped in for a gelato after a quick lunch after the farmer’s market. Great gelato with interesting flavors such as coconut basil. We went got the more traditional rum raisin and pistachio. Both were great! Prices here are not cheap. A «small» is roughly a ½ cup portion and it’s $ 4. They have water ice as well and other ice cream treats. Service was friendly and polite

Yum! We walked in after getting dinner at the Avenue Deli. Their flavors were delicious! Decorated very nicely and staff was friendly. Would definitely come back to try more flavors.

Delicious gelato! Unique flavors (I love the cherry cola flavor) and generous portions. I usually get a kid’s size and it’s a satisfying amount. Minus one star for the price — almost $ 5 for a kid’s size — yikes.

I love this place. The gelato is made from scratch every day. It’s actually made in the back of the store by the owner and his son. The flavors are amazing! I’ve had Capogiro many times and I consider their stuff to be REALLY tasty as well but Icery blows them away. My wife talks about their Peach Tea flavor all the time. Like just out of the blue. Like «babe, how’s your day?» and her response is like «it was cool… YO, I still can’t get over how the Peach Tea gelato tastes JUST LIKE the Snapple!» Pretty funny and a good testament to how remarkable this places offerings really are! My favorite is the Marsala Egg. I had know idea what it would taste like and now that I’ve had it (last 3 visits!) I still don’t have anything to compare it to. It is singularly amazing! The store is very clean and the owners are very nice and personable. The are both Architects by trade and it shows with the sharp clean lines and attention to detail in the layout of this shop. Everything feels like home and at the same time feels ultra modern. Somehow they’ve managed to simultaneously make the place feel like a homage to yesteryear as well as being a trendy up and coming spot. All of the employees here are very pleasant and helpful as well and they will let you taste as much as you want. Regarding the comment about the place being pricey, I disagree. This is homemade goodness and that comes at a premium. I find the prices to be fair for what they offer. This is Artisan Gelato. Each time you taste it, you are experiencing an edible art form. For those without discerning palates, there’s always the supermarket and regular ice cream. But for those who realize that tasting this stuff is a «new life experience», you’d be hard pressed to find anyplace better than this one!

After several visits now, i can honestly say that this place is a must. The Icery has some of the best Italian Ice i’ve had in the suburbs, and the Gelato flavors keep getting better and more creative. The owner is incredibly nice and can often be seen in the store. They also offer a rewards program, so make sure to sign up!

I dropped by today for the first time and enjoyed myself immensely on this very warm day. Their gelato was very good and certainly worth the price for the quality in my opinion. There were quite a selection of flavors, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be going back again soon to sample another one.
The best part of this place is the service. My girlfriend, left her phone and some loose cash behind at the table. The very kind ladies here scooped it up before anyone could walk off with it and rubber banded the money and the phone together. We eventually figured out where she left it and were quite relieved to find it.
They really are great here and you should definitely give them a shot.

So excited for The Icery to open their doors! I have been waiting patiently for a while, but now that they have opened… I have been in half a dozen times (I’m addicted to ice cream and gelato!). The flavors of gelato seem endless, and I want to try each one more than the last. They have no problem letting you taste all the flavors — and even combining them into one cup. I’ve tried the blueberry, strawberry cheesecake, snickers, salty peanut, chocolate peanut butter, and pistachio. All have been great. You really need to check out the décor. It’s unique — and fun. I describe it to people like this: «it feels like you are walking into a cartoon winter scene and standing on a cartoon ice pond.» It rocks and looks amazing. To top it all off, the staff is super friendly. Check it out! You won’t regret it!

The gelato here is very good, and I love the location.
The water ice is not that great. I had the urge to get what is usually called a «gelati.» The girl behind the counter sniffed, «‘gelati’ is plural of ‘gelato’, we call it a ‘coppia’». OK fine, with that attitude, yours had better be good. This wasn’t, the water ice didn’t have good flavor or texture, and the soft serve ice cream is not of the highest quality, it’s more like DQ/Rita’s level. I’d rather go to Jem’s where they call it the supposedly wrong name but serve something that is high-​quality. After all, this isn’t Italy, it’s Delco. Calling it the wrong thing IS authentic here.
ETA: The Icery has improved a great deal in 2015, not that it was bad before. The gelato flavors are innovative, imaginative and delicious, though there are always old standards available as well as trendier flavors.
I think they must have upgraded the mix they use for soft serve. It is completely superior to DQ/Rita’s.
They have a great variety of Italian ice flavors (or as some of us call it, ‘wudder ice’). However they don’t fall into the trap of having too many flavors, it’s always fresh. Traditional flavors like watermelon, orange or root beer are always available, along with others I haven’t seen elsewhere such as peach.
They also have gelato ice pops which are delicious, but be careful! Gelato is served at a somewhat higher temperature than ice cream, so eat that pop before it melts all over your hand!

A very nice addition to Lansdowne and to neighboring towns. Today was the grand opening and they had a great selection of both gelato and water ice. They offer free samples and are priced comparably to places like Capogiro. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

the web site said grand opening on the 22^nd, but it was opened today, Father’s Day. So, i went in. Clean and Shiny. Behind the Counter, the help was crowded together. They appear to have more than they need.
The Case appears small. Do not know what they will do if they get slammed. i liked what i saw, it did not look like they had more room in a back room.
i worked at this location when it was the site of the «MARLIN COFFEE SHOP», it was an above average restaurant. It did more business than the Horn & Hardart and the Linton’s, both of these Restaurants were within walking distance of the center of Town. There maybe more room for parties; i will be going back for a taste and a better look.
The smell of Ice Cream took me back to my early days. Good Luck in the Days Ahead. Will up date this review when i go back.
July 21, 2014. i returned as a check in customer.
The Avenue was slow and so was the business at The Icery, at the time of my visit.
Ordered a Peach Gelato to go; expecting a cover on the cup of goodness.
Yes, i said goodness. There was no cap so when the cap/​cover was placed and bagged, it was a leaky mess.
Other than that, i will be back! Peaches are not in season, right now, so the taste was a bit to Peachy; i hope they are not using artificial flavors. i meant it when i said i will be back and not to check up but enjoy!

They haven’t had their grand opening yet, but after dinner at The Avenue, saw someone outside enjoying a cup of something, so we stopped in and tried it.
Mint Apple Pie… sounds weird, right? Wrong, it’s delish! And, really high quality gelato. I didn’t ask, but it must be homemade.
They paid lots of attention to the décor, very hip — cool floor.
I’ll be back!
