41 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!)“

“Best ice cream shop in Pittsburgh. Huge milkshakes for reasonable prices. They don't skimp on the ice cream. Their tornadoes are amazing - get them with extra toppings. The turtle sundae is also great; the caramel they use is so good. All their portions are massive and reasonably priced.“

“First time visiting and loved the ice cream and the giant cookies . Everything was delicious.“

“There’s nothing like discovering a new ice cream shop when you travel. I love trying out local ice cream wherever I go and Millie‘s homemade ice cream definitely did not disappoint.

These ice cream flavors were some of the richest, most decadent I have ever experienced and that is coming from an ice cream aficionado.

After dinner, we walked to Millie‘s from our Airbnb and after sampling many different flavors, I finally settled upon the backyard s’mores and the brownie batter. Both flavors absolutely stuck true to their names and packed a punch.

I think I preferred the backyard s’mores just slightly because the brownie batter was SO decadent and SO rich it almost was too much. The keyword there being “almost”.

So if you are looking for some smooth, creamy, delicious ice cream in the Lawrenceville area, come check out Millie’s.“

“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!“

“This was my first time trying this frozen yogurt shop and I loved it! The yogurt was so creamy and delicious, and the fresh fruit toppings made it even better. I really like that they offer so many different flavors and topping options it’s easy to find something for everyone. The staff was friendly and the shop has a welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We stopped here after dinner while on vacation in Pittsburgh and loved it so much we went back a couple days later! Staff is super friendly, the store is super clean, portions are huge and the value is great. I can't recommend Pittsburgh Potholes enough, it's so tasty! The only downside of Scoops in Bloomfield is that there's limited indoor seating - it gets crowded easily so keep this in mind if you plan to dine in during peak times.“

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

“Scoops is one of our favorites in Carnegie! It’s a very cute little storefront, their flavors are vast and incredibly yummy! They also have some pretty nice size portions. 10 out of 10 would recommend“

“This place is amazing, local and they have very unique handmade flavor offerings that my family loves. I’m giving them four stars after multiple times driving across town, with excited children only to be greeted with a paper on the window explaining some special circumstances for which they have to be closed for the day. If only they would update their hours online.“

“Omgosh please open one in nyc!! Amazing dairy free gluten free ice-cream with cones!!!!“

“Even better than kennywood! Y'all didn't have to, but chose to be a part of our celebrating of a new job and add to what was already an amazing day. That is a level of customer service above and beyond the usual. It wont be forgotten. I'll be seeing you again!“

“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.“

“Thank you for creating the most amazing birthday cake for my 51st! You nailed it based on the inspo photo. The candy crown added was, quite literally, the icing on the cake. As always, the cake was delicious. The creativity and thought that went into the cake was beyond expectations. Thank you again!“

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

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

“Fantastic milkshake and chocolate covered strawberries!“

“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“

“They are really great! The soft serve is good. The staff are friendly and seem happy to be there. They are always happy to put my cones in cups so I can get them home. I keep forgetting to put some plastic cups in my car to save them the expense. The prices are pretty good. 2 cones under 10 bucks. I always tip so it's a bit more for me. Just be careful what size you order! The small cones I get are VERY generously proportioned. And I love to be able to spend my money in my neighborhood. Everyone should support their local small businesses else tomorrow they may not be there. Thanks for reading and go get some ice cream! Lol!“

“This place is cool- they make their own chocolate so their milkshakes are delicious“

“so many flavors, custom milkshakes, seasonal milkshakes, they have classic comfort flavors higher quality than any store bought.., and creative flavors that will satisfy sweet tooth, ALSO with a wide selection of toppings! hot fudge or caramel, butterscotch, different kinds of fruits, you have to see it for yourself! not to mention hand-packed pints!! great for after dinner, even the day after, or to share with a friend. friendly staff that are happy to help you explore new flavors too. definitely recommend!!........p.s you have so many opportunities; this vanilla milkshake was blended with fruity pebbles, and has strawberry jam around the edge. breakfast for dessert, there's so much you can do!“

“A splurge and more of a high-end ice cream experience, Jeni’s offers high quality ice cream with unique specialty flavors. You can sample as many flavors as you’d like, and they serve samples on metal spoons that they wash, which is a pretty unique and sustainable sample model for an ice cream shop! I was between multiple flavors after sampling (which speaks to how good the options are that I was so indecisive when picking two flavors), and the staff helped me narrow down my choices by making recommendations of flavor pairings. I had the brown butter almond brittle and salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks, while my husband had gooey butter cake and double dough. I found that due to the richness of the ice creams, a small serving was sufficient, but you pay a premium because of the quality.“

“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!!“

“BEST TURTLE ICE CREAM EVER!“

“Omgosh please open one in nyc!! Amazing dairy free gluten free ice-cream with cones!!!!“

“Yum“

“Great quality and flavor but too many candy pieces in the high five candy bar flavor . I want more ice cream and less candy.“

“Millie’s is absolutely amazing. While working in the area. I had the pleasure of meeting Steven. I inquired where his business was and that I would need to come and try his ice cream. Surprise he brought me and my coworkers a goodie bag. The strawberry pretzel, s’mores, cookies and cream, and chocolate was the most delicious I have ever tasted. Oh and those waffle cones ♥️“

“Great flavors and options. Large scoop size!“

“**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!“

“Great Staff & Cappuccino Blast“

“Absolutely the best shaved ice in South Park—and honestly, anywhere nearby!

Wu’s Shaved Ice is a gem that everyone needs to know about. The flavors are refreshing, and the ice is fine and fluffy, never chunky or watery. The portions are generous too!

The service is always warm and welcoming, and the whole vibe is friendly and fun—great for families, date nights, or just a quick treat on a hot day. They also have unique flavor combinations that you won’t find anywhere else!“

“I had Leonas ice cream sandwiches as the dessert for my outdoor spring wedding. My now husband and I both LOVE ice cream and when we decided that's what we wanted to have for our special day I knew Leonas was the choice. We got to pick from SO many of their delicious seasonal flavors - narrowing it down was the hardest part! They were SO detailed and thorough in helping me ensure the sandwiches were served appropriately. All of our guests RAVED about how perfect the ice cream was for the day and how delicious they were. It was a hilarious bonus that the pre-wrapped treats were much more portable than a slice of cake - MANY of them made it out onto the dance floor! Couldn't recommend them more as a DELICIOUS and super fun addition to any event.“

“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“

“The ice cream is a great option for a snack on the hot days. It is easy to find and not overpriced. It is very tasty and the staff are very friendly. There was not a long wait when we stopped, and service was quick. It's definitely a spot to stop at the zoo.“

“great food and service, very nice employees. food does not take long to come out and is consistently good everytime. me and my girlfriend come here a lot and order the enchiladas and birria tacos, we always finish all of our food. one of the best hidden restaurants in pittsburgh“
