Franklin Fountain - historic-style ice cream parlor

Franklin Fountain is an old-fashioned soda fountain and ice cream shop in Old City that opened in 2004 and recreates a turn-of-the-century parlor aesthetic. The shop is known for handmade ice cream, sundaes, and traditional fountain sodas and has been frequently cited in local and national food coverage. It occupies a restored historic storefront in Philadelphia’s historic district.
