12 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lower Burrell

“The best ice cream and homemade cones around! Jerry is the sweetest guy- he gave my kids half dollars, extra ice cream, and homemade waffle cone pieces! The black raspberry was the best we've ever had, and we also enjoyed the ample seating and green space while the kids played.“

“Love this place. Have been enjoying Glenn’s for over 40 years. Grew up in Springdale and remember going there every year on opening day after school with friends. Great custard and the best customer service. There’s usually a line but they have plenty of staff and it always moves very quickly.“

“My husband and I have been here a couple times and the drinks are delicious and very well made! I was tired of going places where the taste is off or inconsistent from the one time you go to the next, but they make their drinks spot on! And their baked goods are amazing. This is my hubby and i's new coffee location!“

“Sooo good. I was driving past and decided to stop. I got the cannoli ice cream on a waffle cone. The ice cream was mascarpone flavored with miniature chocolate chips and cannoli shell pieces throughout. The serving sizes are huge. 10.00 minimum to use your card. The lovely lady who waited on me was so sweet. There’s plenty of seating with some benches on both sides of the ordering windows. Parking right in front in a gravel lot. Highly recommend!“

“Any time of day, if Glen's is open there is a line for custard because the locals know how good it is. The apple cobbler with warm vanilla custard is a favorite as is the chocolate banana shake. Love that they have both think and thin options for the shakes. Wish they had a malt option, but that is being nit-picky.“

“Flavors change often. I've come several times and always see something different. I personally love getting the Extreme, which is their version of a DQ blizzard. You can choose what base from any of the available flavors that day and add toppings!! Usually most places do vanilla as the base.Previously, I got an Extreme with a Butter Pecan base mixed with Oreo and cookie dough pieces. That was unusual and tasty, but I also highly recommend adding their new brownie cookie dough bites! That really adds something extra. Last time, I got an Extreme with vanilla ice cream mixed with Oreo, cookie dough, and brownie dough bites. Definitely yummy. Overall, I definitely keep coming back.Also it's cash only! But worth it.“

“Went for the first time tonight. Service was fast and friendly.Del's serves Perry's Ice Cream, which I grew up eating in Erie, PA. It is awesome ice cream and harder to find in Pittsburgh. On top of that there are many "ice cream parlor only" flavors that you can't buy in the grocery store anywhere.Husband got 3 scoops, and I got the ice cream nachos. Ice cream nachos come with 2 scoops, waffle cone "nachos" and 2 toppings. Both of the things we got seemed like a great deal. As a major ice cream - especially cookie dough - fan I can't recommend this place enough. I would absolutely drive out of my way to come here again vs. Dairy Queen and other independent places.“

“Who doesn't love ice cream??other than my wife haha...even she loves Della's. Price is right, plenty of seating, very friendly workers, great flavors.Only complaint is that the parking lot is DARK and needs some better lighting.Hate it when the season ends.Try the banana cream pie milkshake.. omg. Awesome.“

“I would have given 5 stars but we went at night and although they had absolutely amazing service (extremely accommodating), they had a horrible gnat and mosquito issue. I got very bit up. I'd highly recommend going during the day or don't intend on staying if you go at night. They also have huge portions.“

“Most generous ice cream place I’ve been to all summer! You’d think they’re closing and trying to give away all their toppings, easily crumpled 2 to 4 Reese‘s peanut butter cups in my small and medium size cup of ice cream, huge, serving of whipped cream and two cherries. So generous so affordable. Best in the burgh!!!“

“I always eat from this place. One day I ordered food from the wrong restaurant, when I went to pick it up the owner notified me that it was wrong store. But he gave me the food for free anyways because I already paid for it, and couldn’t pick it up at the other store. I truly appreciate it. I am a forever customer great team great food.“

“My family loves this place! It's almost a tradition for us -- play a round of mini golf, then follow the game by getting some floats. We also usually pick out a flavor or two to order in to-go/"take home" containers, as well. We have enjoyed everything we've tried from here! This location sells pints, quarts, and gallons of frozen custard as well as lots of "eat immediately" treats. There are ordering/pick-up windows in the front, covered picnic tables around back, and a medium-sized parking lot surrounding the building. The attached mini golf course is picturesque with a blue waterfall and water hazards. The first and last hole are across the street (actually more of an alley/parking area) from the rest of the holes, which gives it a unique twist. There are also scorecard "podiums" along the course. (There are no food or drinks allowed on the course, but one or two trash cans would be a nice addition, since some guests occasionally break the rules of the course, as well as the rules of human decency, and leave trash around the playing areas. They might not use the bins anyway, but other more conscientious guests would probably assist with this.) Overall, this is a wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend the mini golf and the frozen custard -- consecutively as a complete trip, or separately.“
