26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Springdale

“I stopped by here this past Sunday with my wife and our twins for our morning coffees. Every Sunday my wife and I try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this day we happened to decide upon The Black Canary. It's located right on Pittsburgh Street in Springdale and has some street parking out front but they also have a lot available on Oak Street. The inside of this coffee shop was cozy with black and white checkerboard footing, some tables, a couch and then window seating on both sides of the door. Beyond that there were a ton of vinyl records and a few video games which I think were free to play. For my coffee on this morning I decided to order from their spring menu and went with the Lavender Coconut Cold Brew while my wife went with the coconut shakerato. The menu described my drink as Coconut Simple Syrup + Cold Brew and Lavender Cold Foam while my wife's was described as Coconut Simple Syrup, Espresso, your choice of milk all shaken with ice. After only a minute or two of a wait we had our coffees and were on our way. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our coffees here. My cold brew had a deep a rich flavor with a hint of coconut and a mostly lavender flavor. Then my wife's tasted mostly of coconut with the coffee playing a nice supporting role. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Both my wife and I loved our coffees and I would be interested in trying more of their coffee drinks as well as seeing if they arcade games really were free.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here today 3-26-24, on a bad rainy day I got a hot chai tea. Probably the best I've ever had. Caution it's super hot drink slow but makes it easier to enjoy lol. Nice foam on the top pretty color, sweet, nice spice. Was 4.50 for a 12oz which for how good it is they could easily raise it another 1.00. Definitely recommend and will be back!!!!“

“Went here for this first time this evening-why we waiting SO long is beyond me! We had a LARGE order and the staff NAILED it! Everything was incredible! Staff was super friendly and quick! The menu was full of fun flavors. We can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“We were SO excited to find this ice cream shop!!! There are so many delicious flavors and the combinations to make your own creations are endless. The owner and employees are so friendly and inviting. Even when the kids ask for multiple samples ;) The shop is always clean and organized each time we’ve been in. Highly recommend this delicious small business!“

“Dari Delite is the best thing to happen to our neighborhood in ages. The portions are generous, and their is a huge variety of ice cream treats to choose from, plus delicious hot dogs and nachos, all of which are reasonably priced. We go as often as we can“

“extremely quick place for frozen yogurt. little human interaction as the yogurt and toppings are all self serve. only thing you need to interact with somebody for is to weigh your yogurt and pay but the whole process takes less than 10 maybe even 5 minutes if you know what you want.“

“This place is incredible, from the moment you step through the door to the aroma of cookie doe and mix then to the cookies, pies or cakes they have on display for the days selection to the helpful and pleasant staff. This was my first time in a Crumble and I was throughly impressed. Reasonably priced and huge cookies! They are soft just how I like them, throw them in the microwave or heat them in the oven and you have what I call the appetite!10/10 would recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this place so much… Not just because it’s super close to work and home, but the people are always so friendly and welcoming, the ice cream is top quality, and my family always has a fun experience coming to this place. Ask for the Chocolate Conduction, it will be such a pleasant surprise to you. Nutella Italian hot Cocoa, Strawberry Balsamic Delight, the favorites list goes on.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We celebrated our daughter’s 4th birthday here! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with yummy sundaes for the kids and a warm atmosphere for all of us to celebrate together. Kolby made the birthday girl feel very special by creating a special sundae just for her! We can’t say enough good things! The staff was friendly and a direct reflection of their awesome manager. The milkshake factory is a wonderful addition to the murrysville community!“

“Food and mixed coffee beverages good. Straight up coffee...bad. I gotta support local and they do get their beans roasted locally ...sadly they are from Nicholas where everything tastes either like hazelnut or burnt Panera coffee. Not a place for black coffee connoisseurs but definitely a nice place for an iced tea, lunch, or excellent latte.“

“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 have a soft spot for Millie's, because it was my first ever ice cream in Pittsburgh! So creamy and so many delicious flavors available! Follow them on instagram for updates. A bit overpriced but the waffle cones are definitely worth it. Love their coffee break flavor. Service and ambiance are okay, I mostly just go for the ice cream and take it to go“

“This is one of my favorite places to get yogurt or frozen custard. There’s a good selection of flavors. There’s a small seating area inside and a drive-through to order ice cream if you are on the run.I ordered a sugar-free, fat-free vanilla yogurt cone, and it was really good. The person I was with ordered a milkshake, and that was equally as good.this is an ice cream shop so if you're looking for a burger or fries, this isn't the place to go.“

“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.“

“Such a great place to deliver freight! Very friendly people that care for what they do. I called hours in advance before my arrival and asked if I could park there overnight until my appointment the next morning. No problem at all. They even have a driver's lounge that is open 24 hours with a restroom and vending machines. If you need to park there, call ahead and make sure it is okay first. I'm sure they will allow it unless their yard is full.“

“Excellent, excellent, excellent - this is the best ice cream/custard in Pittsburgh. The hours are a little tricky but absolutely worth it any chance you get. Flavors are always delicious and the texture is phenomenal. And the italian ice is wonderful as well!“

“The workers here are always kind and helpful. Everything I've tried has been really good. The chocolates may seem pricey, but they are comparable to Sarris's and at half the price when you include shipping. The milk chocolate lemon creams here were delicious!“

“Forever thinking about my delicious waffle and ice cream from Waffallonia. We got the scrupulous cookie butter ice cream and Belgian waffle topped with fruit and whipped cream. The line was pretty long and so was the wait for your order, but that’s because only one guy was working behind the counter; he was working super hard though, and being incredibly efficient, so good on him! I split mine with my husband because I thought there was no way I could eat one on my own but honestly wished I had gotten my own since I wanted to keep eating all of it and not share ??“

“This place is probably the best variety and consistency of quality in any milkshake place in the Pittsburgh area. There is one tiny thing... $10 milkshakes. That is a bit misleading because those are the most expensive, however the most popular ones (called "gourmet shakes"), are $8, which is quite price. Even Millie's is cheaper... however the quality is always amazing.8.3/10 amazing milkshakes, great locations, very pricey.Dietary restrictions: DF milkshakes are available and I hear they are great. They are coconut base and a $1 upcharge from the basic $7 milkshakes. Limited selection.“
