Shop Penn

Nothing says summer treat like ice cream, and there is no name more known in ice cream than Ben and Jerry’s. Located on 40th Street, the Penn location is one of just two in Philadelphia, and it offers customers a choice of over 24 different flavors of ice cream and sorbet, including such decadent options as Chocolate Therapy, Coconut Seven Layer Bar and Berry Berry Extraordinary Sorbet. Swing by in the heat of the afternoon sun on weekdays to  savor some ice cream happy hour specials being served.

A Penn staple for the dairy-free and vegan crowd is the Seasonal Milkshake at HipCityVeg.  One can find a different milkshake each month when they visit the HipCityVeg location on 40th Street. The milkshake for July and August is a Cold Brew Mocha Shake with soy ice cream, cocoa powder, and cold brew coffee from LaColombe. And for the more traditionalist out there, the restaurant always offers the classic vanilla and chocolate shakes as well. 

Kiwi Frozen Yogurt is a family-owned and operated self-serve frozen yogurt shop with nearly 15 standalone flavors or endless possibilities to mix into your own, and a toppings bar featuring more than 30 different options ranging from fresh fruit to chocolate syrup. The menu is always changing with summer flavors popping up, such as Pomegranate Raspberry, Island Banana and Salted Caramel Pretzel. Order online for pickup or delivery and see what sort of different concoctions you can create!

There is something about a delicious milkshake that always hits the spot. Make sure you don’t miss out on a delicious Tehina Shake from Goldie. Made with Tehina, sugar and soy, almond or coconut milk, the Tehina Shake is rich and creamy, but also dairy-free. Take your pick between the Original, Turkish Coffee, Mint Chocolate or Banana. Place your order online for pick up, and enjoy! 

There are few things better than a delicious cup of iced coffee to kickstart a summer day. Pop into Saxbys to get out of the heat and order yourself a Cold Brew, Iced Americano, Iced Matcha Latte, or Peach Bourbon Sweet Tea. Saxbys has also introduced their Mate Spritz Energy Drinks, a cool and refreshing shot of energy that features cold brew energy tea mixed with delicious flavors.

Fruit tea is a perfect cooler for a hot day, providing refreshment and flavor along with some cool relief. Yi Fang Fruit Tea in Franklin's Table has a fantastic selection of Taiwanese fruit tea made with organic cane sugar, seasonal fresh fruits, and natural ingredients. So take a break from the summer heat in the air conditioning at Franklin's Table and enjoy a Passion Fruit Green Tea or Pearl Fruit Tea to recharge.
