Love this store and the way they have all the room displays setup. You can get lost in here looking at all the beautiful things they have that are reasonably priced.

DISCLAIMER: This review is for the cafe only!Remember, you are eating at a cafeteria at Ikea. If you can keep this in mind. You will be pleasantly surprised with the quality of this food. For me, arduous, stressful Ikea trips are made tolerable by looking forward to these meatballs and ice cream.PRO TIP: The cafe in this Ikea actually offers the best view of the SS United States docked (and falling apart) across the highway. The view is truly stunning and totally unexpected.We got a triple order of meatballs, a Caesar salad, Mac n cheese, and some drinks. Nothing was amazing but, just like their furniture, Ikeas food is very affordable. I grabbed some meatballs to make at home and we got ice cream to ease the pain of trying to cram all of our furniture into my car.If youve never eaten at an Ikea, try it - just once. You will be pleasantly surprised and may find a way to avoid these trips in the future.

This IKEA is always crowded and in decent condition considering the pandemic but almost every time we have visited this location, they have been out of stock on at least half of the items we were looking for. This visit they were out of everything. Other than that, it’s a typical IKEA.

I knew what I wanted after searching for it online but still got a little lost in the store (my fault, not IKEAs). Once I found a very helpful team member I was pointed in the right direction and got in and out. Great products at a good price.

This is the best Ikea ever! The staged rooms really make you feel like you can make your home the way it suits you as an individual. In addition, Jesus has truly blessed the robe selection.

The closest Ive lived to an IKEA before moving to Philly was 90 minutes. Having one this close to the city is incredible. Early on, we ordered some furniture and were able to ha e it delivered, which is amazing because my car has a capable trunk, but it is not a cargo area. Today we stopped to grab a couple small things and we could do that anytime. Wild times we live in.

I have always had a good experience here. Always had great service from the online pick up to just walking through the store. The parking lot and tight spaces is what loses the 5 star rating for me.

This is always where I get my furniture. Usually I shop in store and it is fine since always I need to wait for 1 or 2 items that needs to be taken down from the storage. But the main reason of the 2 stars is because the first (impression) time I bought online, I had to wait for a line that made no sense since anyone else buying online, could come in and get their stuff without making a line. The staff needs to be fair and take care of the customers as they arrive, not as they please.

IKEA is IKEA. I always find more than what I am originally looking for. I just absolutely love going there. So many beautiful household decor there. Be careful you will most likely spend a lot more than you intended to. Everything for every room in your house. Even remodeling your kitchen. Live plants as well. I just love this store!!!

Cafeteria is open on weekdays despite the hours on google. This one blows circles past the Elizabeth NJ location. Very clean, modern, store is laid out well. Cafeteria was very nice and clean. Got a few things we needed and headed out.

Great place, as always. I wouldnt comment on their highly rated household products. The Almond cake is a must buy. Dont miss out to sit near the window in the cafeteria to enjoy the views of SS United States across the road.

Oh my God, I got my new computer desk here and, I gotta say, the selection is amazing. Was able to pick and choose my parts for a seemingly modular experience. Had to get each part separately, but the base has holes avaliable for every part I wanted to choose from. Pictures of build and my setup(ignore the background, Im a bit of a weeb).

IKEA is all time favorite because of its verity of collection in all departments and affordable price. SO far i am never dissappointed in IKEA store and their products. If you are a person first time moving in a non furnished apartment and want to buy all the furnitures like bed, couch, kitchen and bath room items etc etc.. then I would suggest IKEA is one of the best place where you can find all the necessary items in a different price range. Its quality is also decent. worth the money. The way they displayed their furniture always makes me want to buy something from them every time I visit. Enjoy !!!

It was my husbands first time buying anything from Ikea and he loved. It only took three years to get him in the store and hes seen at least two other things he wants to go back for! We found what we were looking for on the showroom floor, it was surprisingly easy to find our items in the aisles, and check-out was a breeze.

Im comparing or experience with the IKEA of south Philly against the one in Elizabeth NJ. The difference is dramatic. South Philly is so clean and has great customer service. I came in for two cabinet doors and I was in/out in fifteen minutes. On a Saturday there were a lot of people but even the line for swedish meatballs moved quickly. It is almost worth the two hour drive for the better experience.

Ikea is a great store in general but there is a lot of missing stock. Additionally, the website has little correlation to the brick and motor stores and is only really useful as a catalog.

Review №29

Both my husband and I had the Swedish meatball lunch and it didnt sit well with either of our stomachs. The meat balls were definitely over processed, texture more like hot dogs rather than meat balls and the mashed potatoes were overly spiced with white pepper. Glad we ate before we did our shopping, so we could walk off the unpleasant experience before the 2 hour ride home.

IKEA is definitely a great day experience for not only great items but inspiration. I love all the staged areas. The food is also cheap and amazing and after a bunch of browsing and shopping, I’m always hungry and ready to eat. If you are a IKEA family member, then you get free coffee when you go. They also have a sweepstakes you can enter every time you go which, is pretty cool.

This isn’t my first time coming to this store, but i would like to post a review during covid. i selected the pickup option as i like to avoid larger crowds at the moment. i selected a time of 5-6pm and was notified 10am my item was available for pick up unfortunately when i called to see if i could pick it up sooner i was told it was not possible. after arriving at the store i wasn’t too sure where to go when picking up a item since it was my first time luckily there was a worker outside who was able to help me. it took about 5 mins or so for the kallax book shelf to brought out to me. all in all it was a plain less experience i’m only knocking off one star for. it being able to come sooner and not having the actual color i wanted but this turned out nice as well

Review №50

Because of Covid, I can only assume, they didnt have half of the things I was looking to buy in stock. A lot of the small stuff in bins was available, but larger furniture was on display but not in stock. Surely this system could be managed so once they run out of something, they update the tag in the display rooms to say not available. The staff was super friendly and the place is super clean though. Would still recommend shopping on the Ikea site though.

This place is huge. As soon as you walk in you have to decide if your going upstairs or staying on the ground floor. A huge selection of stuff to choose from and most furniture is in stock. Wear comfortable sneakers because youre going to walk a bit.

Review №52

If you have not receipt they dont refund, even store card. My first purchase from IKEA and due to safety reason i planned to return product but I missed the receipt and they dont listen to my voice without receipt. I called customer service before visiting store and customer service told me i will get store credit but they refused to accept my request. I drop the product at customer service counter without any money, not acceptable at all. my bad luck that i used IKEA, i will never purchase from IKEA now on.

Review №53

The store is great but their website software leaves much to be desired especially when viewed on a smart phone. Because of how their software worked I thought the item I wanted was at the Conshohocken store but it was actually at the South Philadelphia store. Sigh. Its 2021, do better!

Review №58

I would like ikea a lot more if they actually cared about the products and used real wood and not which I can only compare it to is cardboard I mean its very cheaply made and I never seen a furniture company that has had as many recalls as ikea listen dont buy it if it comes with wall anchors to stop it from tipping over but if you do have ikea dressers go on the internet see if they have a recall if so bring it back they will pay you cash to take the junk off your hands

Cmon - who doesnt love IKEA! Always fun to explore whats new, grab a bite to eat in the Cafe upstairs or the bistro downstairs (the veggie-dogs are a unique take on a real hot dog, but you MUST trt it the way they recommend with the crunchy onions, pickled cabbage and spicy mustard.

Wish there couch inventory was better but did have a very clean organized store as expected with pleasent employees. They sell just about everything you need for your home at reasonable price. There clearance section with up to 50% off is real a place to stop for a great deal on already put together furniture at a bargain. Parking is great even have charging stations for electric cars great when your in the city and need to power up.

IKEA Philadelphia charged me nearly $200 dollars for goods that I did not receive. I ordered 6 IKEA blinds on July 3rd, 2021. The estimated delivery was July 9th. July 9th came, and I had nothing. But I patiently waited until July 20th until I finally tried to contact them to see what was going on. I explained my issue to the rep, who acknowledged the problem and offered to help solve it. As soon as I mentioned getting either an update or a refund on the order, the rep intentionally disconnected me. I attempted this again with another rep and was immediately disconnected as soon as I explained the issue. Pictures showing this are below. I was unable to reach them over the phone due to a lack of representatives. At this point I felt that my only course of action was to file a dispute with my credit card company. The following day, IKEA updated my tracking link to show my order as delivered on July 12th at 5pm. This is a lie, I was home at that exact time and received absolutely nothing. I will continue to fight them on this and file as many disputes as I have to until I receive my money back. If youre going to order items from this location, I strongly recommend that you pick them up in person if possible to avoid ending up in my situation and being robbed.

Purchased kitchen cabinet pieces and paid for items and delivery because theyre only available from their warehouse now and received all pieces but main cabinet cases. Drive to Ikea only to hear that they even have them at warehouse. Now Ill have to pay bridge fare and fuel again to return what was delivered and am out of a delivery charge that I feel I was tricked out of. Very poor service and manipulated out of delivery and commute charges. If they dont have items on site then dont buy from them otherwise you may experience what I have. 😒

Picking up items is a joke. The lines! The waiting! Items I can pick up personally in Conshohocken, I cant here. Have to go to the service desk, wait in a line. Get a piece of paper showing the two chairs I want (but couldnt pay for there.Go to the main checkout line, wait another 15 minutes, then go to the order pickup area. My order number shows a 4:35pm pickup. Its now 4:45 - and no chairs, I havent even progressed in the list of orders waiting.Or I could have gone to Conshohocken instead, picked up my chairs and waited in one checkout line.Sorry, Philly Ikea, never again!

So I low key grocery shop at Ikea. That have the best Vegan snacks, also the lunch is so yummy oh and breakfast is so fast and affordable. Im not gonna lie I can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for way better prices than the fast food options near by. I can rave all day about all of Ikea products but my fave is the snack counter. Ive never been disappointed.

Review №92

DO NOT ORDER A KITCHEN FROM HERE! The worst service. They keep telling you your items will be in soon then they tell you it could be months, then they say corporate isn’t giving straight answers. Ordered April 1. We finally received all of the cabinets 2 weeks ago. Ripped out everything. Contractor installed. Their countertop people measured everything for the quartz we ordered in 4/1 from ikea. Now today they call and leave a message that the material isn’t in and no idea how long before it will be in!! Of course I can’t get a human on the phone. Save yourself a TON of headaches and time wasted on a million calls trying to get everything you need. ITS NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION. Pay a little more and get the service you deserve! IKEA will never see another $ from me!

Had dresser delivered broken and missing pieces. After an hour on hold they told me to throw it out or donate it and they would send a new one. Delivery date came and went. Called 3x was on hold over an hour. I hung up 2x after 120 minutes u was being transferred to a supervisor and that call got dropped! I finally today drove to IKEA. They immediately took care of it and my dresser was ready for pick up. A worker helped us load 4 super heavy boxes into my suv. Phone customer service is horrific. In person A+ lucky I had use of the SUV. They also refunded my delivery fee.

On my visit to America I had the opportunity to view one of the best home store they have IKEA. Watching it on TV has no justice like seeing it in real life first hand experience. It have everything to rebuilt, restart and reovate your house into a home. From spoons to cupboard from floor mats to ceiling. You name it they have it. Its a one stop shop for your home.

You cant go wrong when going to IKEA. They have everything you need for your home plus more you never thought you needed. The furniture takes some time to put together but you cant beat the prices and the storage that they have. You also cant go wrong with the food either.
