50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Castle Shannon

“I got a waffle cone dipped in chocolate and sprinkles with chocolate chip ice cream. The cone was $7 but the best ice cream I've had. A pint of ice cream was also $7. Even though we were the only customers I felt rushed. It was my first time there and they do have alot of goodies. I can't wait to go back!“

“This is a special place. Liege waffles are very different than anything I've ever had. They are made from a yeast dough, with caramelized brown sugar inside, smallish, and served warm in a napkin so that you can take it with you while window shopping. Please note: these are not meant to be served with ice cream on top. The ice cream and waffles are both very good by themselves. The owner only serves them together because people ask for that, but I think they ask for it because they think that's how it's meant to be served. (At least, that's what we thought!)“

“I had their vanilla ice-cream. It was rich and flavorful! Had a nice chat with the owner and he informed us that many of the ingredients and milk are sourced from local farmers and helps support our area which is great. Had a friend with me who said he’d love to try but he is lactose intolerant and it turned out they also had dairy free options. Definitely recommend!“

“Just went here over the weekend for the first time and all i can say is this is by far the BEST ice cream i’ve ever had. Vegan or not. it literally tastes healthy and not artificial in any way. and the PINTS. my gosh 🥹🥹 they are heaven. driving 20 minutes is definitely worth it to literally eat the best ice cream on earth. thank you for sharing your masterpiece with us ❤️❤️❤️“

“Couldn’t recommend this place enough, and tonight was only my first time there. As a mom of a young kiddo with Celiac, I was so happy by their dedication to keep their gluten free products from cross contamination, from the scoop washing to the glove changing. And the variety of products my daughter was able to get! She has never had a waffle cone in her life and ice cream sandwiches are only from a very very select few prepackaged companies that are impossible to find to begin with and incredibly expensive. I’d much rather spend my money on something local that is such a great company as well! Thank you for creating this, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Gus & Yiayia's is a Pittsburgh must-do. Even if not from Pittsburgh, one can appreciate the nostalgia of Gus and his old time ice ball cart. The ice is hand shaved to order. The syrup flavor selection has many options to enjoy alone or as a combination. Summer in a cup! Popcorn and bottled water are also available for sale.“

“The ice cream is good, but have you tried their cakes? They are amazing! Best icing and they are absolutely beautiful!“

“I always make it a point to stop by in this yogurt shop when I come to squirrel hill. It’s sooo reasonable and so practical as they weigh it, so you can get any flavor, any toppings, as much as you like. This was the cheesecake flavor, the only sugar-free option, but I loved it!! Try the lychee popping boba topping, it’s a game changer for me!! Also they always have new flavors so always look forwards to it?“

“We recently visited The Milkshake Factory in Pleasant Grove, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Micah, the owner, who made us feel like family. It was as if he had known us for years! Micah’s hospitality was unmatched. He generously offered us free samples of their incredible chocolate, encouraging us to try as much as we liked. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly set the tone for our visit. As for the milkshakes, they were out of this world! I indulged in the Bananas Foster Milkshake, which was rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. My wife couldn’t get enough of her Cookie Brownie Fudge milkshake—it was the perfect blend of decadent flavors. Our kids loved their classic Vanilla Milkshakes, which were smooth and delicious. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and exceptional customer service made this visit unforgettable. We can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing offerings. If you’re in Pleasant Grove, do yourself a favor and stop by The Milkshake Factory—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Amazing ice cream, fantastic service, clean store, cool and fun vibe! This place is AWESOME!“

“Found this place when our other favorite ice cream place went out of business. What a jewel out in Bloomfield. They have a vast selection of different flavors and can do whatever you like. The service was great. It's easy to find. They are located in the middle of the block on the main strip so parking may be challenging. The posted hours are 10p close but we were told that its actually 10.30p. This was on a Saturday night in August. Give them a try!!!“

“One of the best places for Ice Cream and their Ice cream cakes! I've been coming to scoops over the many years for all of my children's cakes. They also do a very nice job on the art! I also love that they have several locations. Also, they just did my son's ice cream cake pic included and it is beautifully done!!! Thank you! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Very good shakes but I wish they would get with the times and offer a small / mini size for the classics flavors. I don't go here often because they only offer that gigantic size and usually I just want a smaller portion for a cheaper price. End up at DQ usually as they offer mini and small.“

“This ice cream shop is cash only .I've been going to that ice cream store since I was a child my dentist was down the street but after I seen the dentist my father would take me up there to get some ice cream to cheer me up they got some great fantastic food as well a milkshakes and they're not like McDonald's and you don't have to worry about the milkshake machine where there's going to be working or not laughing out loud I personally would tell you to go check it out if you're in that area I don't think you'll be a disappointed if you like ice cream and they have many other things to choose from. They're chili dogs are awesome as well they're very close to Page's ice cream store on East Carson Street Becks Run Road stop by today and try a treat for yourself or treat the whole family to a night out with ice cream I don't think you'll be a disappointed one last thing I like to point out this ice cream shop is strictly cash only if they are very busy bring a little bit of patience with you they'll do their best to serve you they are very nice people the staff is always there they want to make sure you're happy when you walk away from that window they can't help the prices went up on things everything is going up. And I do believe most things are price and reasonable but when you want good quality like you said you'll pay for what you want If you want cheap ice cream then go to your local grocery store you want good ice cream then you're going to pay for it. Remember support your local business especially the small Mom's and Pops restaurants like this one, and your local stores without them this country was founded on Mom's and Pop's stores when you needed something the store will give you a small credit in your local Mom's and Pop's stores. So support your local business today.“

“oh my God we love this place that's the best homemade ice cream shop in the Pittsburgh area y'all are running neck and neck with scoops and more but you're mainly my choice because you're close to my home and I've been telling all my friends and fellow ice cream lovers about you“

“Great ice cream and quick service“

“Great treats and friendly service during a bike ride! Thanks for the ice cream to keep me pedaling! 🚴“

“This newly opened spot in Oakland has a great atmosphere! I love that they come up with new flavors every month, keeping things exciting. The fact that it’s run by nurses and offers a healthcare worker discount makes it even more special. The chocolate was incredibly rich and delicious. Definitely a must-visit!“

“Living in the neighborhood right behind this Bruster’s, we’ve had a lot of experience with the owner and her employees. We absolutely love the owner. She is so kind. Once, I mentioned how much I missed chocolate marshmallow ice cream online and she made it the next day! The ice cream is amazing and there are always a lot of varieties. The owner also gives out a lot of coupons as well. Five stars; highly recommend!“

“If you’re even a little bit into Middle Eastern or South Asian (Desi/Indian) foods, trust me—you need Jeni’s Bastani Sonnati flavor in your life. It’s as if saffron, rose water, and pistachio had a magical ice cream baby, and it tastes like heaven itself got a sweet tooth. Seriously, if my version of paradise existed, it would be a bottomless pit of potato fries and this ice cream (kind of tastes like kulfi but better).

Why am I gushing like it’s my long-lost love? Because I can’t let Jeni’s ever think about pulling this flavor from their lineup. I’m not even a dessert person, but I demolished a whole tub in three days. So, be smarter than me and pace yourself—but definitely, definitely go try this flavor!“

“I came here to say, I have never heard of this brand before but last night while shopping at my local Jay C (kroger), I stumbled across the Gluten free Gooey Butter cake ice cream and i’m so very glad I did!!! it’s delicious!!!! It’s not often us Gf people get to have cake and I actually don’t care for ice cream. I rarely eat it but that has all changed thanks to Jeni’s. I love it so much I might have ate half of it in one sitting….we listen and we don’t judge 😝. A+++++++++. Please don’t stop making this!“

“build your own ice cream cup. with all of the topping you can imagine it becomes more than a sweet treat! I can only wish we had a Sincerely Yogurt on rt 51!!“

“Really nice to take pints to go but also nice to get a scoop. High quality ice cream. Seemed like a fairly standard ice cream parlor setting (bright fluorescent lighting and linoleum faux wood flooring) so I didn't really want to stay to eat but I will get ice cream to go another time!“

“BEST TURTLE ICE CREAM EVER!“

“Always great ice cream and the girl serving was very kind and hard-working!“

“Al wealth management has a proven track record of success, with impressive returns and a strong commitment to risk management. Their AI-driven approach is cutting-edge and sets them apart from traditional wealth management firms. I've seen firsthand how their personalized strategies have helped clients achieve their financial goals, and I highly recommend Kristen Tanya“

“I hired them for my son's 1st birthday party. The ice cream is great and Cesar is great to work with. He was punctual and all set up before the start time.

He persevered through rain (outdoor venue), even made a couple of rounds through the party to make sure everyone had the ice cream.

Everybody at the party said the ice cream was great. It did take the party to the next level. Cannot recommend them more!“

“Can’t beat the rotating selection or the taste, I’m here about once a week and love to try the new flavors of the month.

In addition, it seems like they’ve ramped up the speed of their service over the past year as well.“

“The young lady that waited on us was very friendly and the treats were delicious.“

“The staff were nice and friendly! The ice creams are good. I would say this place has normal ice cream flavors. There are a few that are a creation, and the rest are basic. I also saw some m&m cookies there and I had to try them, they were good, they reminded me of the chips ahoy candy blast, flavors were pretty similar.“

“Great ice cream! Every time were in Pittsburgh we make sure we stop in. It’s the best place“

“Makayla was amazing , I’m a difficult customer to have because of all of my allergies but she was patient and helped make sure that every allergy was accounted for and all safety procedures were met. Makayla even made a special order for me to make the perfect blend dairy free coconut milk mint ice cream with hydrox cookies inside. She’s amazing and cares about her customers health, allergies, and satisfaction. A++ service and ice cream!

“Just tried the cappuccino flavor at a tasting in the Grove Kosher Market , South Euclid, Ohio. Rich, creamy, and nice flavor. Consistency was good. I would recommend a little more coffee flavoring for a more intensified taste. 4/5“

“Yummy my mom favorite place“

“Nice food and atmosphere!“

“Sriracha ice cream! 😋 Nice people. Decent prices.“

“What's your favorite thing here? Mohammad! Love the store, smells good unlike some places around there, and you can always find someone wearing a smile even on a rainy day! BE fierce! Cash in on spending your time on your own account supporting local businesses!“

“Ice cream sandwiches are amazing 😻“

“**Crumble Cookie Store Review**

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local Crumble Cookie store, and I must say, it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, the warm aroma of freshly baked cookies enveloped me, instantly putting me in a good mood.

The store's layout is inviting, with a modern and cheerful design. The vibrant colors and mouth-watering displays of cookies make it hard to resist trying them all. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic, ready to help with recommendations and samples, which is always a bonus!

Now, let’s talk about the cookies. Crumble offers a rotating menu of flavors that changes weekly, ensuring there’s always something new. I sampled a few, including the classic Chocolate Chip, which was perfectly soft and gooey, and the unique, like a celebration in every bite! Each cookie is generously sized and has a delightful texture, balancing soft and chewy.

One of the highlights was the option to order cookies warm or chilled, adding a nice touch to the experience. I also appreciated the availability of gluten-free options, catering to different dietary needs without compromising taste.

Overall, my visit to Crumble Cookie was a delightful treat. The combination of delicious cookies, friendly service, and an inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. I can't wait to return and try more flavors from their ever-changing menu! Highly recommended!“

“Best coffee on Walnut Street! The mango frappe is also awesome.“

“comida deliciosa al igual que las aguas frescas. super recomendado, vamos a volver y ser clientes frecuentes“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I tried this place few months ago , since then it has become my go to place for coffee and ice cream. I have taken my friends here and they love it as much as I love it!! I come here because of great staff, coffee and feel of this cafe. I usually don't give review on cafes, since they haven't impressed me this much yet!! I like simple stuff and Churn is just amazing and simple !! Thank You and please don't relocate or anything. Much love Jasnoor Kaur (the hot Mocha girl) :)“

“I am not usually a sweet tooth, but I love Waffalonia for a guilt-free dessert. You can customize your waffle, and it’s delicious—perfect for sharing between two people! The place is small with limited seating, but it’s definitely worth a visit for a tasty treat.“

“If you are looking for a great milkshake then Fitfiene is the place to get one. I’m a chocolate fanatic and their chocolate extreme milkshake is the best milkshake I have ever had. nice atmosphere and they have free games for you to play while you relax with your treats. Very reasonably priced.“

“Sweet, sweet shop. Perfect covered apples, and super friendly. Perfect place for giving season.“
