"Great waterice. I enjoyed the flavor more than their competitors. The chocolate was awesome. Also tried pineapple, very tasty as well. Wish they had more flavors to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff. They do have some tables outside to enjoy your treats on nice days. They also have ice cream and toppings and they can mix and match."

"I’ve tried a handful of water ice places in Philly, and I can confidently say that John’s is my favorite. They don’t have 50 different flavors and that’s OK - because the flavors they do offer are exceptional."

"Went for the water ice and when I found out they had oat milk soft serve (dairy free), I got that and omg it’s the best soft serve I’ve had. Nothing compares to it and I almost cried tears of joy knowing I found a place I can enjoy ice cream again without dairy!"

"Love this place so much!! The staff is always friendly, which makes for such a wonderful experience. As for the Water Ice and the Ice Cream.... don't even get me started on that. No matter what flavor you get it is always out of this world! I highly recommend going to John's right now!"
