Unassuming store from with poor signage, on a side street with some street parking as well as free in the lot. See pictures.
First off, I will address the ice cream.
And to give you my background, I also make my own ice cream from scratch using only basic ingredients.
I purchased two flavors, blueberry cheesecake and Cappuccino crunch.
If you are wondering about costs, it’s expensive, but too taste it is to understand why it’s expensive. You’re not eating Hagen Das, you are eating something even better. Now, I’m by no means able to purchase $4+ for a scoop of ice cream on my budget, but I’ve heard about this place and decided, what the heck, I have splurged before, and so this month, I’ll do it again.
Creamy taste, no freezer burn, no ice crystals, just plain great tasting ice cream. I understand the cost associated with making ice cream as homemade, was costing me ~$6/pint.
Go here for the ice cream and don’t be put-off by the decor.
This place badly needs a makeover, as inside, is not very pleasant to look at and is just rundown.
Judge this place based on the ice cream and you’ll be a happy camper.

Loved hearing their ice cream is from a local dairy.
The vanilla is pretty good, which is often telltale about the rest of flavors.
Also really liked their eggnog flavor. One of the best I’ve tried! While I do love a good (homemade) ice cream and love to drink (real) eggnog, it’s rare to find a good combo of the two.
I’m seeking and reviewing the best local businesses in every geography, for Localverse (from Bethlehem, PA). Now adding Dreams Ice Cream at Glenside to the list!

This place was amazingly overwhelming!!
They had soooooo many different ice cream flavors to choose from. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen an ice cream menu that long..
I ended up sticking to my usual strawberry cheesecake in a waffle cone. It did not disappoint, I was very pleased. However, I got a sweet potato cheesecake to take home and OMG it was sooooo good! I can’t wait to go back for another one. I will absolutely be back again!

This is hands down the best ice cream in Glenside. They have flavors for everyone and they do a lot for the community. If you are in the area, Stop by and get a couple scoops.

Cute small ice cream shop with pops of color. The staff was nice, attentive, & patient even as I was having a hard time choosing my flavor from all the choices they have- I went with tiramisu which had strong flavors. My brother recommended trying their donut sandwich which was a great concept, although I wish the donut was warmer as the ice cream cooled it where it was harder to eat. I would come again to try some more flavors!

The owners here are wonderful and very friendly. There’s plenty of different flavors of ice cream and water ice to choose from. It’s a cute ice cream shop. They were also very accommodating with my allergy. Looking forward to going back, hopefully every Friday night.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Dreams. The proprietors are probably the most welcoming and friendly people we’ve ever met. And their ice cream (especially the vegan flavors) are so delicious and creamy. It’s without a doubt the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had and, being lactose intolerant, I’ve sampled plenty in my day. I had vanilla and chocolate peanut butter. I couldn’t tell the difference from dairy ice cream. Surprisingly it was not overly sweet and had no aftertaste like the majority of vegan ice creams I’ve had. My husband had the rum raisin and chocolatefudge brownie. It was so good he considered going back for another double scoop cup. If you live in the area or happen to be going to the Keswick, bypass the place next to the theater and head over to Dreams. You won’t be disappointed. We’ll probably do a road trip from Bristol in a few week. Yes, it’s that good!

My family & I stopped while out of town for ice cream. It was a great experience & the gentleman was patient with our choices/request! Everything was great from the ice cream to the cheesecake to the banana pudding! We ate it so fast that we didn’t even think about pictures!

Super adorable ice cream shop in Glenside!! There are so many delicious flavors and toppings to choose from, everything I had was super creamy and flavorful, and they give massive portions. The service was amazing, and the workers were super nice, patient, and thoughtful. It was the best graham cracker ice cream I’ve ever had! They also have vegan options, as well as a few food items. There’s some seating outside. I’ll definitely be back for more to try more flavors!

So many flavours of ice cream here and it is sooooo creamy and delicious! The chocolate peanut butter is especially creamy and the peanut butter taste is not overpowering. Also try some of their vegan options because they are just as, if not more delicious, than the dairy options. Especially almond bark, yum! Owned by authentically, great people it is a pleasure to come in. Such an adorable place inside and out.
