Here's Where To Get The Best Ice Cream In Pennsylvania

A Reading ice cream shop has been named as the best ice cream in Pennsylvania.

Bassett's was included among Food & Wine's list of the best ice cream in every state, which was published earlier this summer.

The Reading shop is the longest-running ice cream brand in the U.S., with five generations of the Bassett family running the operation since 1861.

Late CEO and president Ann Bassett is credited for the shop's initial expansion beyond the Philadelphia market, with locations now throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states, as well as Georgia and Florida.

""Any study of American ice cream history will bring you rather immediately to Philadelphia, where the family-owned Bassett's -- the country's longest-running operation -- has been serving up the city's favorite ice cream since the mid-1800s," Food & Wine's David Landsel wrote. "A staple of the historic Reading Terminal Market since the market's earliest days, this is still some of the country's finest ice cream, boasting a luxurious 16.5% butterfat content (about as high as you can go before it starts to taste like frozen butter) and a wildly creamy, dense texture that has ruined many

"Philadelphians for ice cream in other cities. The market's sole remaining original tenant, Bassetts stays popular all year long, and certainly during the warmer months. If you happen to walk in and see either a short line or no line at all, postpone whatever else and head straight over."
