Unique Ice Cream that is Pittsburgh's best.

by redelephant

Their malted ice cream is unique and delicious and I haven't found anything like it, which always brings me back for more. The cookie-dough is my favorite. Not like the your average Ben and Jerry's or HagenDaazs.

• Pros: Malted unique ice cream

Best Ice Cream in the 'Burgh!

by andreadmb

You MUST go for the homemade waffle cones with a few M&Ms in the bottom, often still warm off the iron! Every ice cream I have had has been delicious, and always very full of whatever topping/ingredient should be there. Birthday cake is a very unique flavor and old standbys like Turtle, Cookies and Cream, Chocolate are also to die for. All ice cream is homemade on the premises!

Old-time methods create pure creamy delights for those looking to taste the ultimate in hand-churned perfection.

The Scene
As customers walk into the small shop, they can see the old-style wooden ice cream makers lined up on the floor, complete with rock salt. All of their products are made in this expensive, time-consuming manner for authenticity. A blackboard behind the counter lists the fresh flavors available.

The Food
They offer both yogurts and ice creams, some even low-fat. There are fresh fruits, variations on a chocolate theme and, for purists, pure cream ice cream, with no flavorings. Customers demand cookie dough, but try the malted flavors. Made in conjunction with the Church Brew Works, you get the wonderful malt taste with the richness of the ice cream.

It's definitely worth a try

by vix91

Some of the flavors are much better than others. The chocolate (my standard) is strange-tasting--nothing like any other chocolate ice cream you've had. The cookie dough is to die for, though. The best ice cream I've ever had was at a random ice cream shoppe in Italy, though, so Dave & Andy's is a pretty good local backup. :-)

• Pros: quality ice cream, homemade cones, inexpensive
• Cons: huge summer lines
