"Very clean and lots of variety to choose from. The woman who helped us was super friendly. If you’re going with younger children please note they have benches for seating I didn’t notice any tables so you might have to help littles with that."

"Had the pleasure of stopping by today! Fantastic menu...Abundance of flavors! I couldn't decide whether to get soft serve or hard ice cream. The girl behind the counter saw that look on my face, so she asked if trying a sample would help. Wow! The pistachio soft serve stood out! It was smooth & creamy! I even got the chocolate dip on it! Her kindness & patience was a memorable experience. I'll be sure to stop by when I'm in the area again!"

"Come on, how can't you just love this place. The absolute best team of young adults with smiles ear to ear and the most amazing flavors to choose from. Their chocolate peanut butter is simply Heaven and don't get me started on their peanut butter Oreo frappes, inhaled it. If you haven't made it here it's a must. Also vs. I won't mention the name, another ice cream hot spot in Reading, Kennedy's kiddie side is what a small would be vs a dollop of ice cream so very generous with their scoops!!"

"Stopped by Kennedy’s Ice Cream Bar after finishing lunch at Liberty Bell. The gentleman I spoke with, John, I assume is the owner. I ordered a coffee and chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious. Their selection of ice cream is plentiful. I highly recommend stopping by if you like to support small businesses. We will be back to try the ice cream and upload pictures of what we order."

"WOW! I could not believe the line on a Saturday in January. They must be doing something right, and they were! Sooo many choices for everyone. The caramel sea salt ice cream was amazing. Can't wait to go back to try more! Nicest staff while being so busy."

"Incredible amount of flavors of soft serve and hard ice cream! They have so much variety that it's incredible. Their pricing is about the same as everyone else around. The people behind the counter were so nice and answered all questions I had. If I could rate this place 1000 stars, I would."
