    We stopped by Frio for ice cream yesterday after dinner. The inside is pretty small with no seating or bathrooms and the outside has four small tables with two chairs each. They were pretty patient and let us try multiple samples before we decided on what we wanted. Sadly there is no kids sized scoop but the single scoop is only about $4.50.

    I got the vegan pistachio with a gluten free cone it's so delicious! The inside of the place smells so sweet! They make their own waffle cones! Definitely recommend this place!

    Coffee Break (coffee with chocolate chips)

    Very good ice cream (and I'm not even a Penn State alum). Servers were nice and offered tastes. No seating inside but the few outdoor tables were fine. Our flavor choices: coffee break (good, not super strong coffee flavor), pistachio (A+), vegan raspberry (good), cherry sorbet (tart but tasty)

    Friendly staff, nice options, I just made the wrong choice on flavor. I made a snap decision and ultimately got popped. Next time I will get a milkshake, they have some really good looking flavors and recipes there.

    My family and I loved the takeout ice cream we ordered. I ordered online and it was ready really quickly. We were shocked that it was ready once we got there after about ten minutes. Everyone loved their ice cream choices. My mom loved her Death by Chocolate. It was all so creamy and delicious. I'm obsessed with cinnamon and I loved my Grilled Stickies. My goddaughter is super picky and loved her BitterSweet Mint. My cousin loved the banana flavor in his monkey business ice cream. My husband loved all things peanut butter in his Nutty Bon Bon. My godson loved all the cookie pieces and peanut butter in his Monster Dough. So happy we finally got to try it. So good! Check them out.

    Peanut butter fudge milkshake

    This is good ice cream, no doubt about it. They have a lot of different options and the classics as well. They have a few daily options that change depending on the season. And vegan options too! Vegan options that actually sound delicious. I decided to try the peanut butter fudge milkshake. Wow, the shake was very thick! Nearly too thick. But, the flavor was great. The base was a rich chocolate. It seemed high quality. There are streaks of peanut butter throughout the ice cream. Even little bits of peanuts in the ice cream, but I wasn't a fan of this. Not much liquid fudge. It was topped with a generous amount of whipped cream. I would have enjoyed it more if the base was peanut butter, but it was still really good. The portion size was great. Although, it is pretty costly. I'm talking almost $10 for a milkshake. All in all, it's a great place to get a treat. Not the most cost effective, but the quality is great, and they have many diverse and delicious options to choose from. I would recommend trying them out.

    The staff working there are incredibly sweet. This is an awesome place to stop by when you're in the area. Very generous scoops and a great array of flavors! There's a little outdoor seating for evenings after a dinner/event. However, I will say the flavor I got wasn't incredibly robust if you're looking for a rich, creamy coffee flavor.

    Grilled Stickies Ice Cream
    Olivia P.

    One of the few good places in PGH for ice cream, but it's a bit expensive. The grilled sticky ice cream is the best!

    Yummmmmy, cheap and HUGE portions. This is a small and I couldn't even finish it- so delicious and wonderful service. I came here on a Thursday evening and the kind woman working behind the counter was so nice and informative. This was a wonderful spot and there are a few tables and chairs on the outside where you can sit and enjoy!

    Frio is definitely my favorite place in Pittsburgh that I've been for ice cream. I may be biased as a Penn State alum, but they carry Penn State creamery ice cream and you just can't beat that. Even though I'm vegan now and can't enjoy the creamery ice cream I love that they carry it and you can get it in Pittsburgh! I also love Frio because they have vegan ice cream and it's so good! Every time I've seen at least 3 vegan flavors. I love the vegan pistachio and the vegan blueberry lavender flavors.

    Grilled Stickies and Monkey Business with waffle chips
    David R.

    I loved the Penn State creamery ice cream that I had here -- the grilled stickies ice cream was amazing alongside the banana pb chocolate (I think called Monkey Business). This was my first time here and I would return again to try new flavors. There were many that sounded delicious!

    Death by chocolate (small)
    Carlie H.

    After going to college at Cornell, which is also well-known for their ice cream 'Dairy Bar', I was skeptical that Penn State's ice cream could compare to my alma mater's. It was hard to tell if any of the flavors were specialties, since the ones available all seemed to have pretty generic names, so I went with 2 scoops of 'Death By Chocolate.' It was super creamy and chocolatey, with generous chocolate chunks. The biggest con for me was that there wasn't really any seating options to just take a moment and enjoy the ice cream. In the far corner of the narrow shop, there were only 2 chairs, and since it was the middle of winter, no chairs were set up outside like those I had seen in photos (presumably taken during the warmer months). As a result, we had to take ours to go and I feel like that took away from the overall experience.

    Went here with my wife and parents. There is so many ice cream places to choose from we decided to start with Frio Creamery. I had 2 scoops one of coffee and one of chocolate. The staff where friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the ice cream very much. I definitely would go back to Frio's again.

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!

    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.

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.
