Philly Spotlight: TEASSERT BAR
Tinsel & Tine Highlight: TEASSERT BAR By Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Originating from Thailand, Ice Cream Rolls are becoming a popular dessert in the US, with Ice cream roll bars trending in New York last summer, and this summer in Philly. Best place to go for Ice Cream Rolls is Teassert Bar in Chinatown (227 N. 10th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107) because their rolls are made with all natural ingredients, no powders, nothing artificial, no coloring agents.
