We're all missing the days of being able to enjoy our summertime favorites while dining al fresco with beautiful Bucks County views, at festivals, on date nights, or celebrating with friends and family. But for now, here are some of the many Bucks County establishments offering takeout or curbside pickup so that you can get the flavors of summer to go.

Please note that this information is accurate as of the date of publication. We will be updating frequently as restrictions are eased, but please check with individual businesses for any changes.

Frozen Treats

What’s summer without your favorite frozen treats? When the temperatures are rising, there’s nothing better than a scoop of your favorite Italian Ice, Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream. It’s the perfect way to take a minute to indulge, slow down, and beat the heat!

A fantastic family-owned business and Bucks Happening List Winner 2020 for Best Ice Cream, the Warrington Dairy Queen is open for takeout and curbside pickup. With multiple five-star reviews from customers, this community staple is one of the best places to indulge your ice cream cravings.

Yardley Ice House – Bucks Happening List Finalist for Water Ice

Did you know the Yardley Ice House makes all their gourmet Italian Ice from scratch? You can look forward to both traditional and unique flavors alike such as mango and lemon as well as cherry Bordeaux, chocolate malt and banana cream pie. Flavors are updated on their site daily and are also posted outside. During this time, they are providing outdoor takeout service and asking that all customers wear masks and maintain social distance while in line.

JoJo’s Ice Cream – Bucks Happening List Finalist for Water Ice

8801 New Falls Rd, Levittown

With a reputation for excellent customer service, this community gem is a great spot to beat the heat on a hot summer day! They're open for takeout at their outdoor window and ask that all customers wear masks and maintain social distancing. In addition to ice cream and water ice, you can also order ice cream cakes – either traditional with ice cream and cookie crunchies or layered homemade Piazza's ice cream with cake from Piazza's Bakery. Waffle nachos with ice cream scoops is another unique favorite!

Today I’m taking the #extraordinarysmallbusinesschallenge. For my kids, the ultimate treat is @owowcow. Owned by graphic designer turned ice cream aficionado, John Fezzuoglio, I have often marveled at the attention to detail thats comes from Owowcow. John has been known to go to the creamery himself to pick up his cream and the beekeeper to procure the honey. He only uses the best ingredients. When they first over a decade ago, my husband and I would trek an hour to their single location, a converted gas station in Upper Bucks County. But when you have a product that creates a cult following, location becomes less of a variable. As Owowcow developed their rabid following, they slowly grew to 5 locations. I often joke that our home freezer (swipe 👉) is their 6th location, because at any given time there’s between 6 and 12 pints on hand. My 6 year old loves to find out their limited-edition monthly flavors, but the staples inner house are Cinnamon Bourbon, Strawberry, Cookies and Cream, and “I Hate Chocolate.” During this pandemic, their curbside game has been strong, and often I find myself trying to call their busy phone line reminiscent of a sold out concert in 1994. .
