"In 1893, Lewis Dubois Bassett moved production of his ice cream to the newly built Reading Terminal Market. At the same time he also opened a retail store. The store that he opened is still in the same location in the Reading Terminal with the original marble counters and is still owned and operated by Lewis Dubois’ great-great grandsons Michael Strange and Roger Bassett."
No alcohol available. Open 9 am–6 pm Mon–Fri, 8 am–6 pm Sat and 9 am–5 pm Sun.
“ … Bassetts dispenses premium ice cream in cones, cups, shakes and hand-packed pints: chocolate chip cookie dough, Champagne sorbet, peanut butter swirl and rum raisin find room alongside the usual suspects.”
— Gayot
"Bassetts Ice Cream has long claimed supremacy for its rich, smooth flavors. Plus, they make a terrific milkshake."
