    The second half of our treats.
    Michelle N.

    The yummiest!! The fruit in the sundaes are real, not syrupy/ from a can. Service was fast and friendly. Price was reasonable. Can't wait to return.

    Twist cone

    Who doesn't love an ice cream cone on a hot summer day? This place is easy to get to in North Versailles, right off the main drag. Lots of places to park and still be socially distant. Employees were wearing masks and everything seemed clean and we felt "safe". Cash only. Prices you can't beat. If you're looking for traditional soft serve, dip cones, sundaes, etc. this is the place to go. They do have a doggy sundae with a treat for your fav pet, but I shared my cone with the pup. We both definitely approve!!

    Small Freeze-Out
    Andrew L.

    Best ice cream place in North Versailles (and probably the best ice cream place I've been to). The prices are great and you really get your money's worth. Their Freeze-Outs are great (their version of a Blizzard). I usually get a children's sized milkshake, since the small is HUGE. The quality of ice cream is much higher than your regular chain ice cream places. Just remember this place is cash only. I highly recommend you go to Arctic Avenue for your ice cream craving.

Their lunch menu is small, but they use the k.i.s.s method. this is my new favorite local eatery for breakfast or lunch and not only is it worth a try is worth a drive from anywhere if you're even thinking about coming to the area.

Upon walking in they had a case to the left with a selection of donuts (glazed, maple bacon, coconut, strawberry and white and chocolate cream), apple fritters, cinnamon rolls and a few other things. The donuts are square in shape which is unique. I decided to try a cream filled as this is my favorite go to donut and a maple glazed cinnamon roll. They were also serving breakfast sandwiches and they had a cooler of drinks. They do not have any seating this is a take out only establishment. The cinnamon roll was fantastic, the cream donut was okay but I didn't love it and it didn't beat the competitor in my opinion. However, they are generous with the filling. The maple bacon donut looked amazing....next time I'll try that!

Drive thru custard and handcrafted sundaes, parfaits, milkshakes, and every other creation in existence!! Yes, the flavors may seem limited on the daily... but that's part of the fun of this business. They post the two flavors of the day on a monthly calendar so you can circle your favorites and plan ahead!! They always have vanilla and chocolate, but they hand create each flavor as you order.

    I'm a bit of a paczki snob and was told that they are great at Patti's. The reviews I had heard…read morewere correct! Their paczki are amazing. Full of flavor, filling and packed with flavor. You know it is going to be a good paczki when it is heavy and they didn't disappoint. They had several traditional flavors but also had two rotating specialty flavors. I've also had king cakes and various cookies and they have all been delicious. The place was packed. There was a line, but they kept it moving efficiently. There is parking available, but make sure you don't park in spots designated for another business in the same strip. I saw someone from one of those businesses monitoring spots and threatening a tow (which is obviously their right to do). They also have a cafe side with tables and some cute decor. I looked at the menu options and saw what some patrons were getting and it looked great. Something I'll definitely have to come back and try. Overall, a great spot for some tasty treats. And, in my opinion, the best paczki in Pittsburgh.

    I really couldn't wait to try this place, and our lunch was quite good! Didn't totally line up with…read morethe hype/praise, but it was definitely good and we want to return and try other things. The unassuming old bank building is easy to find. Street parking behind it wasn't tough. There's a warning on the front door that this is a "takeout" establishment -- but there were plenty of tables. You can totally dine there! If you want alcohol, then definitely get your food to go. This is another place that has sadly gone person-free at the front with an ordering tablet. You lose so much in the lack of warm greeting, lack of assistance with ordering, etc. I don't like this tech trend! Setting that aside, we were able to order fairly easily. We had to fish around in the menu to find descriptions --- the print-outs and overhead menu had no details. The food: I had -- and would recommend -- the Flava Bowl with shrimp. That bowl was so packed, the lid almost didn't fit! Roughly 10 medium-sized sautéed shrimp over rice & peas (you get a choice of that or maduros or rice), with perfectly-cooked plantains & sautéed onions and red peppers. I had them add avocado. A good add, AND --- I sprinkled on some of their house made green hot sauce, a nice citrusy bit of heat. My husband was less high on his dish, the plantain sandwich- aka, the Jibarito with pollo ala plancha. He said it was quite dry, but it got better as he got some of the sauce (not sure what it was). It took 30 minutes to get our food, but the poor guy in the kitchen was totally alone fixing all of these orders (cooking, packing them up)! He was so apologetic; we felt bad for him. Our meal was good, though. The place clearly has a lot of heart. We'll definitely be back. Gotta try the mofongo.

    Having grown up in Jefferson Hills, I have been to Al's Cone Zone more times than I can remember…read more It is a classic, reasonably priced establishment that is beloved by locals and visitors alike. Al's is located on State Route 885 in Jefferson Hills, just to the right of the entrance to 885 Park and Baseball Fields. The building is a bright blue, and covered with fun paintings of ice cream and other items they sell. So, you definitely will not miss it. It is a seasonal operation that usually runs from sometime in March to sometime in October. There is a ton of parking here. You will find some spots in front of the windows. Due to no fault of Al's, I personally find these a little difficult to get in and out of, just with the nature of 885 as a road. To the right of the building, there is a large parking lot, with spaces much easier to get in and out of. Al's purchased this parcel a few years ago, and made it into an expanded lot. There is a walkway leading to the building right from this lot. This visit in particular was this past September. I was in the area eating dinner, so I decided to stop by Al's for dessert on the way back. I arrived around 8:50 PM, and they closed at 9:00, so naturally there was not much of a wait at this time. The store is a classic outdoor ice cream stand. Meaning that you walk up and order at the windows, and there is no indoor seating. However, there are plenty of benches and picnic tables on either side of the building. Depending on the time of day that you visit, these might be full, so next best thing would be to tailgate at your car! I have tried a large amount of the menu here over the years, and there are a lot of great items. The Tornadoes are huge, and there are so many toppings available to mix in. Cones and dishes are gigantic, regardless of the size. I like the Ice Cream Sandwiches, particularly the ones with either the Chocolate Chip Cookie or the Peanut Butter Cookie. Milkshakes are tasty as well. In the fall, they will have Pumpkin Ice Cream, and tend to have other specials throughout the spring and summer. I have personally never tried the food items, but I imagine they are good! On this visit, I kept it rather simple with a Small Vanilla Cake Cone with Cherry Dip. As I said, the cones are very generous, so I normally stick to a small size. This one was a little porous and uniquely shaped, but that does not matter so long as it tastes good. It definitely did! The person who waited on me was friendly and quick. I understand it can be annoying to have customers so close to closing time, but I appreciated their demeanor and service on this day. The value here is pretty great. Most of the items are soft-serve, so naturally it will be less than hand-scooped ice cream. My cone was under $5, and that included getting the add-on of dip. Al's has always been a crazy good value, and I believe they still are. In the past few years, they also started to take cards. So, no reason not to stop by! Some bonus aspects of Al's are that they will give you a free Pup Cup with your purchase. My dog loves ice cream, so I take advantage of this often. Also, they offer a Punch Card if you ask for one when placing your order. So, if you buy 10 items, you will get one free once you present the card. I have always been a fan of Al's, and now try to stop by whenever I can. I do not live as close anymore, but it is still worth it to come by every once in a while for some delicious treats. The owner is very kind, as well as all of the staff. The product is good, and there really is something for everyone here. Plus, the atmosphere and overall value really bring it over the top. If you find yourself in the Jefferson Hills/Clairton/West Mifflin area anytime soon, make sure to stop by Al's!

We also appreciated the outdoor seating, which made it a nice spot to enjoy our treats on a beautiful day. The only things we would love to see are a few more Dole Whip flavor options.
