Editorial Review for Maron Chocolates and Scoop de Ville – by Maura Johnston
In Short
This dessert palace fills every inch of its space with sweetness. Up front is the chocolate shop, which has the distinction of being the oldest independent retail candy business in America. In back, you'll find frozen treats--ice cream, frozen yogurt, and water ices in season. Maron's house-made candy offerings include nonpareils, chocolate-covered Oreos and marzipan. Scoop de Ville's ice cream flavors are basic--vanilla, chocolate, coffee and a few fruit flavors.

It was my first time in PA and some of my friends and i had walked by Scoop de Ville a couple times and never gone in. Finally we went in and got some ice cream. it was literally the best ice cream I've ever had in my life along with fantastic service. The ice cream was very soft and creamy with a lot of flavor. We took pictures and just relaxed for about an hour there while talking to the employer and employees. I have and will recommend this shop to anyone going to Philly. Good luck on getting the best in the country! I definately think you can get it!

This is one of my favorite spots in Philly- I love their chocolate and vanilla frozen yogurts. And its unbelievable how many options their are for toppings! From cookie doughs (of like every kind of cookie!) to cereals (golden grahams etc) to plain chocolate chips, fruit, syrups, candy (snickers, m&m's...) and nutella (yum) -- this place will blend about anything in your ice cream (or yogurt). I will say that I had a bad experience once when i watched the owner yell at the employees in front of us customers, but I was told that she was just freaked out about the busy holiday season. other than that i love the place. I was weary to support her shop but decided I loved the product just that much. Try out the non pareils while you're there. I'm addicted to the dark chocolate ones.
