    I got the chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream and I loved it. so good! I wish they had indoor seating but it's ok

    The cookie craze flavor is out of this world! Top 5 ice cream flavor easily. I started buying it by the half gallon!

    Oreo shake

    I wasn't very impressed by Brusters. This is not to say the quality was bad, but simply it just didn't stand out in any way. The ice cream tasted only slightly better than what you could buy at the grocery store for a much cheaper price. I decided to try out their milkshakes and got a classic Oreo shake, small size. The biggest benefit to Brusters is that their portions are quite good. For a small, this is more than enough. And, the prices are too bad either. A small shake is around $6.25. My main issue is that this shake was mostly flavorless. It wasn't sweet, or at least not in the way other shakes are. It was very basic, and just didn't impress me in any way. The Oreo chunks were somewhat clumped together and almost had a waxy consistency that was unpleasant. The vanilla itself was fine. All in all, if I come another time, I'll try one of the more unique flavors they offer, such as peach melba, sea salt caramel toffee, cheesecake, cold brew brownie, or something along those lines. I regret not trying one of them on this last visit instead of the Oreo.

    After devouring dinner, we wanted something sweet afterwards and decided to stop at Bruster's on our way home! I had no idea that they released their Christmas ice cream flavors! They have a peppermint stick, peppermint Oreo, eggnog, and gingerbread man. I opted for a small cup with gingerbread man and peppermint Oreo. The gingerbread man was so delicious, as the gingerbread spice was throughout the entire ice cream and it had pieces of gingerbread cookie dough throughout, which was an amazing surprise! The peppermint Oreo was also delicious, as I am a sicker for anything containing peppermint and chocolate! I highly recommend getting both of these flavors, but I am definitely interested in trying the peppermint stick and egg nog flavors next time I'm here!

    I'm excited to see a Bruster's in the city. We came on a week night, and it had such a good vibe. Kids and families were sitting outside enjoying their ice cream. I had the New York cheesecake and chocolate raspberry truffle cone. It was delicious. I kind of expected cheesecake bites in the scoop, but it was actually a cheesecake flavor with a little bit of crust. The chocolate raspberry was good, but maybe there was a bit too much truffles. I didn't quite enjoy having to chew and bite so much. There was ample parking and seating. We'll be back for sure!

    Mint chocolate chip small cup (2 scoops)

    I usually prefer to patronize locally owned establishments, but I'll make an exception for this franchise, where they mix their ice cream flavors fresh on location every day. We juuust managed to beat the mid-afternoon rush on a warm summer day. Careful driving through the one-way parking lot if the line gets long! The "small" cones are very generous, and the small 2-scoop cups are sufficient too. We tried the mint chocolate chip (so minty!), black cherry chocolate chunk, vanilla, and caramel apple (so aromatic I could smell it in the cone). The menu is looong, so you could never get bored coming back again.

    Just craving for ice cream, first time here. Hangout and chilling here. Enjoying ice cream with friend or family. We got Hot Fudge Brownie and Turtle Sundae. Highly recommended. Driving in park, sat and eating here enjoying the view. Love it!

    I have been going to Brusters since I was a kid. I love their different flavors and creations. Recently, I tried their oat milk ice cream. I have a new favorite! It is softer than their dairy ice cream, but it still has a creamy, sweet taste. The Chocolate Raspberry Truffle was so good! So much raspberry filling and the perfect amount of chocolate pieces. I love that their truck is at a ton of events around ton with a lot of flavors!

    They give out free ice cream Sundays for your dog! The ice cream is absolutely delicious and I get to take my furry friend out for a date. It has a nice outdoor seating area.

    They barely have my flavors and it's so disappointing not many flavors with walnuts, pecans or almonds!

Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!

    I came on a weekend to get their soft serve. We got their ube x black sesame ice cream as their…read moreweekend special. The black sesame flavor was strong and present, but I think the ube flavor was lacking. The earl gray ice cream has a very strong floral aftertaste. Earl gray has that tea taste usually, but it was very overpowering. The jade fog latte was good as a matcha with a lavender cold form but for $8 as a matcha with cold foam is steep. There's only about 5 tables in the store, but sometimes some ppl come here to study. Street parking is free nearby.

    I remember seeing the signs before Leona's opened up on Penn last summer, and I had googled them…read moresince I was new to the area. Since then, I've seen Leona's ice cream sandwiches at various supermarkets, but it's always been a tad on the pricey side! I would also consider myself an ice-cream aficionado but I can't say the same about the sandwich form! Fast forward a year and somehow I see a menu for Leona's ice cream sandwiches and they are the most luxurious combinations I had ever seen! I was under the impression that everything was dairy-free so I knew I had to finally stop by! We had dinner down the street and we absolutely had to stop by for dessert. Service was friendly from the moment we came in, and in addition to getting some very tasty samples I even learned the wallpaper was designed by the same woman who worked on the team art for the NFL Draft this year! Anyways, ice cream was delicious. There's a rotating list of flavors, and I happened to try the raspberry ripple, ube, and strawberry. They all happened to be dairy free, but I'm not sure that everything on the menu actually is. Everything is clearly labeled though! I wasn't a fan of the cookies that day so I ended up going with a scoop. Scoop size descriptions were also excellent! The mini is a golf ball, and the regular is a tennis ball. The strawberry was DELICIOUS and I would absolutely get it again, I also don't know how I could walk by in the future without stepping in!

    Pittsburgh favorite ice cream shop is opened for the season!!…read more One of those ice cream shops where if someone mentions it, you have to go. With so many creative flavors, desserts, and toppings there is something for everyone here. On warm days, wait time can be up to an hour but I promise it's worth the wait. There are informational walls on Page's backstory as you get closer to the ordering wall and a huge menu to look at as you get closer as well.

On a…read morebeautiful summer day, the lines can get very long and wrap around the shop, but that's part of the experience and a sign of how loved this place is. Luckily, we live relatively close, so we have plenty of chances to drive by and hope for a shorter line. My usual order is the Arctic Swirl with vanilla ice cream and M&M's mixed in, which comes in medium or large. It's simple, nostalgic, and always hits the spot. My husband's go-to is the Nancy B sundae, which is another favorite in our family. Now that my toddler is 2, she loves going to the "ice cream store," which makes Page's feel even more special for us. I love that it's a multi-generational business and hope they continue to have success for many years to come.
