50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Penn Hills

“Ice cream is great but I wish they carried a sugar free ice option. It's tough when you have a diabetic in the family and they can't get anything. 😢“

“Very tasty ice cream and all kinds of flavored gelatos. All kinds of combination. The fruit flavors are very good true to the fruit flavor. I like peach which tends to be a soft flavor. and can easily taste fake. But not at Rita’s Same with the mango.“

“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 a Chocolate/banana softserve twist here last week and it was DELICIOUS“

“Reggae creates impeccable vibes. Awesome ice cream treats - all sorts of unique ideas. Chocolate covered strawberry swirl. Chili cheese hot dogs are made with love. Be patient with the line and enjoy the experience.“

“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.“

“Restaurant was very clean, especially for a self-serve yogurt spot. The yogurt was great, I dont usually eat sugar free, but theirs was tasty and a nice treat. Definitely recommend to those visiting around the area and are looking for a quick refreshing treat.“

“This delightful little shoppe needs to be on your Can’t Miss list! The Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream is some of the best in the world…but it’s the PEOPLE that make this place special! Yvonne and her crew really make you feel welcome and take service to the next level! I’ll be back…again and again…“

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

“Great local family owned ice cream shop. The owners and employees are friendly and the Perry's ice cream selections that are constantly changing are delicious. I am always checking what flavors they are offering, looking for my favorites. They now offer grab & go pints, ice cream sandwiches & ice cream pies.“

“Fantastic milkshake and chocolate covered strawberries!“

“The ice cream was great, and the menu was fun. I'm new to the community, and I can see how this is a staple in this area.

However, I do find it disappointing that the staff treated me and my friends rudely for simply wanting ice cream at 9:20 at night. Friendly service goes a long way, but I won't let this tarnish my thoughts on this place, for now. We've all been there in similar jobs; slap a smile on your face and do better.“

The gentleman that runs it is named Dave and he’s so kind and friendly. Thank you Dave for the wonderful service and sweet treats! We will always return and are customers for life.“

“Great staff! Gooood ice cream!“

“Yummy! While on our June summer road trip with our kids, we were in the mood for something sweet and decided to try out The Meadows for their famous custard. We were not disappointed! The building is very welcoming from the outside. All painted with ice cream cones and Adirondack chairs sitting around. In the front, you have tables where you can sit outside and enjoy the air. Inside you have tables and chairs in a brightly painted, cheerful room. There is also a life-size connect 4 game where the kids can play. My son and I enjoyed a game while eating our custard. It was a busy day, but the workers did great. They were very friendly. We all went for the original vanilla and we’re very impressed. I loved my waffle cone! It was a very hot day and these definitely hit the spot! Highly recommend! Good for kids! Boosters and high chairs available. *Wheelchair accessible entrance, seating, parking lot and restroom. Offers eat in, take out that you can get through the drive-through window or the walk up window and delivery. Credit and debit cards accepted.“

“Me and my neighbor decided to try Crispý Cones in Conroe, TX and it was really good!! The staff was friendly, especially Taylor who gave us the whole run down of the menu. Definitely will go back again. I want to try the hot cones now!!!“

“Slush and custard are definitely high quality for the value you get here. Try my personal favorite - the watermelon slush with vanilla custard. Mix it together and sip & enjoy!

Can't speak for the grill but hope to return to try it out and will update accordingly.“

“Millie’s is genuinely the best ice cream I’ve ever had & the staff is friendly no matter the location you’re visiting!! The Murrysville shop is clean, cute & super welcoming :) I love bringing everyone I know to find their favorite Millie’s flavor 🍦 Megan Sweeney is the General Manager of the Murrysville shop & she’s truly the SWEETEST 🥹✨ I can’t recommend Millie’s enough, especially if you’re visiting from out of state!! A true Pittsburgh staple that you must try ASAP 🩷“

“Great Staff & Cappuccino Blast“

“Bring Cash!! That's the only down side that I can come up with.
Joe's has an extremely polite staff and courteous that catered to my needs when all I had was my debit card. They fixed my family with their needs as I drove to the ATM.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for ice cream in Squirrel Hill after a great dinner at Amazing Dumplings. We ordered custard and an Italian ice and they were both fabulous. The staff was very kind and gave us great recommendations including a couple of samples and we made great decisions. 5 out of 5 wood ice cream again.“

“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 ♥️“

“Yum“

“Wonderful staff and amazing ice cream !! Highly recommend!!“

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

“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!“

“I suppose this place needs another 5 star rating...either way they deserve it. Come early in the day (say 3-430) to beat evening rush. A history of the place is on the back wall as you wait or after you get your ice cream. Parking is available. They serve arctic swirls which are amazing (think a Blizzard but better). Pages is another classic must when you visit Pittsburgh.“

“Nice to see Rita’s open! And the server was wearing a mask and gloves. Changed gloves between each customer. Great job!“

“We ordered several Charlie’s Super Square for a party. 24 slices for $23! Great deal.They came hot and fresh. Absolutely delicious! Everyone at the party raves about the pizza. We will definitely order again!“
