50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mckees Rocks

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Very great flavors, prices & staff!“

“Unfortunately we just found out about this lovely place a couple weeks prior to them closing (due to rent agreement, so there's a chance they'll open/sell elsewhere!), but we stopped in for some scoops and pints to go! I had pistachio on site... So yummy. But the pints I brought home have been beyond incredible. These taste better than regular ice cream; they are made with cashew milk. Apple crisp has cinnamon oat clusters in it, cinnamon toast crunch tastes exactly like the cereal and has little pockets of cinnamon sugar, nutcracker has pecans, and lemon raspberry crumb reminds me of my former favorite cheesecake factory flavor. I have a few other flavors to try still, but cannot believe how unique the flavors are and how creamy the consistency is. I truly hope this place can continue to serve ice cream to the community in whatever way they are able!“

“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.“

“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“

“My family LOVES Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream! We visit the McCandless location weekly! The staff is patient and amazing—especially when my kids want to sample different flavors! The ice cream is always fresh and tasty. I love to getting a hot fudge sundae to top off a long week, and my children love the seasonal birthday cake flavor and cake batter (with sprinkles)! I recently tried the deep dish apple pie flavor and OMG!! It was heavenly!!!!“

“Great ice cream and quick service“

“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!“

“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!!“

“I have celiacs and told the employee, she immediately offered to do an allergy scoop for me with a new tub from the back AND gave me samples of the ice cream from the new tub. She was so kind and nonchalant about the extra effort this required - it was such a great experience getting to go to an ice cream shop and know I was dining safely! Thank you so much <3“

“BEST TURTLE ICE CREAM EVER!“

“I most certainly do recommend janie’s! Any time I have ever gone down there everyone is patient friendly and professional! I have discovered a new affinity for bubble tea, and I love to take it with me when I have to go to work😊 ☀️Great prices! ☀️Excellent ice cream! ☀️Amazing selection and really sweet employees“

“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!“

“Good service, delicious ice cream, want to go again and again and again“

“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!“

“This Bruster's is far better than any other ice cream shop in the area. It was "Every Given Sunday" but after Covid, they closed permanently. This place has excellent mango sorbet and Chocolate ice cream shakes and pint size. Friendly. Helpful and the ice cream tops every place I've been too. Cool Cones is awful and can't compare!“

“Hands down the best ice cream in the state. Always a large variety of flavor options and staff willing to answer any questions about the product. The best flavors are the cheesecake ones, no question!
The freshly made waffle cones always add a nice crunch and subtle vanilla flavor to every bite and pairs well with every flavor.
Don't forget to grab a pint, quart, or half-gallon to bring home to share (and of course have real ice cream on hand at all times).

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for those who want a nice dairy free or nut free treat.

Parking: Very rarely an issue to find parking, unless of course it's 90°F on a weekend evening, then the walk from your car may increase to 2 minutes from 30 seconds.

Kid-friendliness: Super fun staff and grassy seating area nearby.“

“I visited Kip’s today and received horrible customer service. The young man at the counter presented with a foul attitude. However, I did enjoy the ice cream. I hope to have a better experience when if I visit Moon again.“

“The impeccable service from the friendliest people! A visit from them will surely brighten your day!“

“A great experience! Definitely will be visiting again ☺️“

“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!“

“I love the chocolate raspberry truffle, cherry vanilla & butter pecan.“

“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“

“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“

“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!

“Nice food and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Such a fun diner and ice creamery! My husband and I went for ice cream the other day, and the flavors were out of this world— you have to get the key lime!! A few days later after attending an event at Scoops, we were able to try their food! We ordered a Greek Quesadilla and a Gyro, and it was incredible!!!! The veggies were so fresh, meat was cooked perfectly, and presentation was great. 100/10 would recommend!!“

“Chocolate chip cookie dough!!!!! I also love sweet cream but they rarely make it.“

“Already had rated this location 5 stars but coming back after another great experience. My mom called and asked for two cats on a birthday cake - the woman working let her know she would likely have trouble fitting two cats. My mom asked if they could please try and let me tell you - they did a PHENOMENAL job. Not only did they fit both cats, they just happen to look EXACTLY like my cats. They also did this without seeing a picture of them. We were over the moon, my mom said she almost got teary eyed LOL. Absolutely get your ice cream cake here! AmazIng job!!“

“Authentic Mexican cuisine. Made to order with fresh ingredients. Quick service, large portions and very reasonable prices. Friendly staff, friends and family type atmosphere. Ideally located with ample parking. If you can’t dine in, their takeout line was nonstop.“

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