As winter fades across South Jersey, a sure sign of spring’s arrival is the seasonal reopening of beloved ice cream and frozen dessert spots. For many local families, The Water Ice Factory in Magnolia is a beloved neighborhood stand. Surprise—it’s now open!
Located at 302 W. Evesham Road, The Water Ice Factory has been serving the Magnolia community and surrounding Camden County towns since 1987, making it a decades-long staple for sweet treats and neighborhood tradition.
The Water Ice Factory is more than just a place to grab dessert; it’s a seasonal ritual. As the shop reopens for the year, longtime customers return for their favorite flavors.
The family-run shop offers 36 flavors of water ice, ranging from classics like cherry, lemon, and mango to more playful varieties such as cotton candy, tiger’s blood, and rocket pop. Sugar-free options, including cherry and lemon, are also available for customers looking for lighter choices.
Patrons can also mix and match flavors to create their own combinations, a tradition that keeps regulars experimenting with new blends each season.
While water ice remains the star attraction, the menu goes well beyond the classic Philadelphia-area frozen treat. Customers can also find:
- Gelati, layering water ice with creamy soft-serve
- Soft-serve ice cream and milkshakes
- Ice cream sandwiches and novelty desserts
- Chocolate-covered bananas
- Custom water ice and gelati cakes made to order for celebrations and parties
The shop also sells packaged cups and large buckets for parties, along with event services, such as water-ice carts for gatherings, fundraisers, and community events.
