    My first Dave & Andy's experience and it won't be my last! I had vanilla bean heath in a waffle cone and was perfectly content. I was tempted by some of the fall flavored (sampled a few) and went with vanilla bean heath. Service was fast! There are only a few places to sit, so we opted to eat in the car. All in all a great option when looking for a sweet treat!

    We stopped by yesterday around 6:30pm and there was no line. There were two people working and they were patient with us and we were able to get our cones really quickly. The inside has three small tables and a bench and the outside has two small tables and a bench to sit on. The inside used to be more colorful before it changed ownership, now it's very white and stark. My lavender coffee cream with a waffle cone was really good and the scoop was HUGE. My friend liked their cinnamon cream!

    Dave & Andy's was our chosen location for a sweet treat after dinner in Oakland one evening. This tiny place is slightly tucked down a side street off Forbes. The inside definitely gives ice cream parlor vibes with fun black and white tiled floors and white and silver furniture. The staff were very friendly and let us sample a few different flavors. I ended up going with the $6.25 flight of four because I couldn't decide between all of the great options. Honestly, the flight had so much ice cream that it may have been equivalent to getting a pint of a single flavor. I actually got a lid to take some of it home and stick in the freezer for the next day. I loved how creamy and flavorful the ice cream was. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Definitely worth stopping in!

    Finally got to try this famous spot. I was sad when I heard a while ago that they were closing before I got to try them and super ecstatic when I heard they'd be reopening! Today I got the coconut yogurt and banana sorbet in a cup absolutely amazing combination. Ice cream was smooth and exactly what I needed, unexpected deliciousness. It was $5.50 for two scoops in a cup, reasonable. There are small outdoor tables available.

    I scream, you scream, we all scream for Dave & Andy's Ice Cream!! This iconic ice cream parlor has been scooping joy in Oakland since 1983 with over 200+ flavors made fresh in-house--and yes, they hand-roll those heavenly waffle cones right on site! After a brief closure last year, they're back and just as nostalgic as ever. The moment you walk in, you're hit with the delicious smell of fresh waffle cones being made. Each week, they feature 24 rotating flavors--core classics plus seasonal specials--so there's always something new to try. Grab a cone, cup, sundae, or milkshake--or take home a pint or two! Indoor and outdoor seating lets you soak in the old-school charm, with their classic benches adding to the vibe. I had a birthday cake ice cream in a fresh handmade waffle cone and it totally hit the spot. Also tried a mint chocolate chip milkshake topped with whipped cream and a cherry --pure nostalgia! And for the ultimate sweet treat, don't miss their dirt dessert cup: cookies & cream with chocolate pudding, Oreo crumbles, and gummy worms. A fan-favorite, especially with the younger crowd! Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, Dave & Andy's is the kind of place that always feels like summer.

    5.25$ pints for select bottom of the barrel ice cream flavors. Big steal. Best ice cream on that forbes area imo. WIDE range of flavors, all in house, creative.

    New ownership and it's still in Pittsburgh PA! But still good ice cream ... smooth and creamy. I'm glad it stayed as it's been a fixture here. Nice atmosphere and clean. 1 scoop is $4.00 but if you want 1 scoop in a waffle cone it's $5.25. Two scoops is $5.50 and with waffle cone it's $6.75. The waffle cone is huge! But it tastes a little different from what it used to be ... a bit more pasty and floury ... and the m & m was still at the bottom but the waffle cone was dripping bc the hole at the bottom was too big and the m & m didn't stop the drippage. Parking is on the street via an app called GoMobile PGH Pittsburgh or you pay by credit card on the kiosk. $3 per hour.

    I'll be honest that I shed a tear when I found out that Dave & Andy's was closing. Being the spot of my now husband's and I's first date 11 years go, this ice cream shop means to much to me (even so much that we had wedding photos taken there!). But then a few months later when I found out that a couple was taking over and reopening the shop after just a brief few months-long hiatus, more now happy tears were shed! We stopped by on a recent visit to Pittsburgh to enjoy a scoop and relish the memories. The decor was still the same, and the menu was pretty much still as extensive. It was fun to chat with the new owners and college students staffing the shop. My husband and I both really enjoyed our scoops, feeling like the quality was quite similar as was the quantity and price. We're so happy that Dave & Andy's is back open and just as good as prior - we cannot wait to revisit on future trips to Pittsburgh and relive where our relationship first started!

    Pumpkin pie and Turtle flavors are both nice and smooth. Turtle flavor tasted like a chocolate mix with some nutty flavor. The waffle cones are freshly made. A lot of traffic in this location. Services are speedy and nice.

    I was super excited to try Dave & Andy's after I heard all of the hype around it, but it was a disappointing experience. They only allow you to sample one flavor, which is frustrating because most of their flavors are hit or miss. Some flavors are very weak and practically tasteless, so if I sample a disappointing flavor, I'm hesitant to commit to actually buying a scoop. They are conveniently located in Oakland and offer large portion sizes for their prices. I might try this place again but other ice cream shops are more consistent

    Closed Business :(

    It is with great sadness that my favorite Oakland ice cream shop closed after 40 years of service ! You will be deeply missed !!

    on our midwest road trip, we have been trying the "best ice cream" in each city. pittsburgh has a lot but dave & andy's seemed to be a top choice. small interior. past reviews said only 1 sample but i asked for 2. service was okay. personally i did not think the ice cream flavor selection and taste was anything special. pricing: double for $5.14 (fairly average) flavor variety: there is an okay amount of flavors to choose from on their menu, from ice cream to yogurts to sundaes. they accommodate dietary restrictions. flavor uniqueness: i don't think dave & andy's had many unique flavors. many were pretty traditional that you can buy in a grocery store. when paying for ice cream at a shop, i gravitate toward unique flavor combinations and homemade flavors (ex: jeni's and salt & straw), so i was disappointed in this category. // flavors // oatmeal raisin cookie: i ended up getting this flavor because it was the better out of the ones i tried. it tasted as expected, and pretty sweet. didn't really have the creaminess and bigger chunks of cookies that i was looking for. chocolate raspberry: this one was also okay. it had chocolate and subtle raspberry, but was more on the milk chocolate side and was missing flavor depth to me. could have been better if it was darker or bittersweet chocolate with a stronger raspberry flavor. overall, flavors and ice cream were not memorable to me so i would not revisit.

    I had my first and last ever scoop from Dave and Andy's this past week. The owners are retiring and the business has closed, but for what it's worth, I just wanted to commend the team for their extremely hard work and dedication during closing week. Some of my Pitt alum friends convinced me to try it and I'm sad I didn't sooner. The line was wrapped around the block each day and yet the staff still had smiles on their faces and were so helpful. The cookies and cream was delicious and we were able to get a pint of the vanilla almond caramel upon recommendation from Wes. So, kudos to all who worked here and happy retirement! I know it's a big loss to Oakland but I'm happy I got to experience a small piece of this special local business many of my friends have loved over the years.

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!!

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.

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!

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.
