Five Ice Cream Spots in West Chester

August 16, 2017

The dog days of summer are upon us!

Instead of hibernating in your Chestnut Square apartment with the A/C cranked up (though that sounds fun too!), head out into West Chester for a cool treat from one of these sweet spots.

 

Tropical Delight — Now in its second year, the shop, about five blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, serves up homemade ice cream that borders on exotic. Forget chocolate and vanilla and opt for flavors like corn, guava or custard apple.

 

The West Chester Coffee and Ice Cream Bar — Two blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, you’ll find a treasure trove of ice cream, served in cones, sundaes or other crafty creations. The popular café also sells coffee, pastries, donuts, yogurt and more.

 

D’Ascenzo’s Gelato — Less than a block from your Chestnut Square apartment, D’Ascenzo’s specializes in Authentic Italian gelato, which is made with fresh and locally sourced milk and cream. The artisanal treats are enhanced with hand-roasted nuts and locally grown fruits for a taste that’s both fresh and refreshing.

 

Kiwi Yogurt — The family-owned business, about five blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, prioritizes fresh, flavorful and fun. Yogurt lovers can choose from 20 flavors and spice up their cups with more than 60 toppings for a colorful treat that won’t have you feeling like you cheated on your diet.

 

Gemelli — Handcrafted and healthy are on the menu at Gemelli, four blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment. The artisanal gelato is made from organic and local ingredients, with no high-fructose corn syrups or preservatives.
