Siddiq's Real Fruit Water Ice

There’s a few reasons to head to West Philly on your first trip here: to geotag your “in West Philadelphia born and raised” picture, to head check out some African restaurants, and to get the city’s most treasured dessert from Siddiq’s. The water ice (which is basically a finely grained ice to a point where it’s whipped) flavors range from classics like lemon and watermelon to some creative ones like white grape and strawberry daiquiri with bits of real fruit. They also serve other snacks that will transport you to the Jersey Shore like funnel cake and cotton candy, which can all be eaten under the umbrellas out front.
