Wynnewood Water Ice: "Just Chill"

[phungi]

Stopped by Just Chill yesterday with the kids after camp, on Manoa off Haverford (Near City Ave and Haverford) and was pleasantly surprised. Prices were cheaper and the water ice had more flavor than Rita's. Mango was excellent, the chocolate had chips, and the cherry was really good. Talked to the owner, and all is made in-house. Plus, it is indoor with seating, which is always nice on a 95-degree day.

They opened only a week ago, so stop in if you get a chance. Living in Wynnewood we only had Rita's on Eagle Road or City Ave, so this is a great addition to the area.

Just posted in another Water Ice thread about a new discovery in West Philly: Accu Pizza at 48th and Spruce. Very tasty and cheap - will be returning for more soon.

Hmm, I missed this post the first time it appeared, but I do sometimes drive right past there. I'll check them out next time I do... Excellent!

somehow it didn't register for me, either, and i wish it had, since i was out there just yesterday and looking for something fun to eat...

I tried the mango, cherry, and chocolate (with real chips)... all very good.

I stopped by Just Chill on my way home this afternoon and ordered a large ($2.50, a good price) with three flavors.

Lemon was the best of the bunch; a little sweeter than my ideal, but good flavor. Mango was also very good, a cut above Rita's. Black cherry was okay. I've still never had a cherry water ice that was really great, but this was a cut above average.

Overall, I liked Just Chill. It didn't blow me away, but it's solidly above-average, and if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be there all summer.

Black cherry and lemon on my first visit. The former wasn't sticky sweet like most red ice, maybe because it was purple And the other wasn't quite as tart or zesty as I'd have liked, but mighty good just the same.

And, unless there's someplace in Ardmore I don't know, it's the closest to home for me. I'll be back.
