Franklin Fountain - old-fashioned soda fountain and ice cream parlor

The Franklin Fountain is an Old City soda fountain-style ice cream shop that recreates early 20th-century American soda fountain service, including hand-dipped ice cream and fountain sodas. Since opening, it has been noted for period décor, vintage-style sundaes, and making many of its ice cream flavors and sauces on-site. The shop is a recognizable part of Philadelphia's local food and nostalgic culinary culture in the historic district.
