    The vegan ice cream here has come a long way! Two years ago I said it was "gummy" and I didn't even have that word on my mind today. It was so soft and creamy and flavorful. The blueberry lavender was delicious and there were real blueberries in the ice cream. The chocolate chip cookie dough had the best texture. It tasted like cold cookie dough instead of ice cream. The third and final vegan flavor was a blueberry pancake! I didn't try it but it seemed delish. Such good vegan flavors. Just a heads up, if you want two flavors, you can't do a half scoop of each flavor. You have to get a double. Thankfully it wasn't much more expensive! Definitely worth it and I will recommend this spot moving forward.

    ice cream was sooo yummy after dinner! this place is so cute for an ice cream date with friends or family. the workers were so nice and patient with us trying different flavors and requesting for samples. we both ended up with cinnamon roll and peanut butter!

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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!

    Cookies & Cream and Cookie Dough

    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!

    Vegan Blueberry Lavender

    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.

    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!

    First, this is delicious ice cream without the fact that they are dairy free. It was amazing. The…read moreflavors are fantastic and you would believe that it is a dairy explosion but you are wrong on the dairy part. We were down the street enjoying a great calzone and some beers and we kept seeing people walk by with ice cream. So when we left we found the place...we had no idea what we had found. Inside the two ladies were cheerful and greeted us with smiles. They gave us tastes of several different options and we each chose the one we wanted. Payment was easy and there were opportunities to stay inside if you preferred. The night we went it was a lovely and cool evening so we walked back to our apartment eating the most delicious dairy free ice cream I never knew existed.

    Very good local ice cream place. I actually didn't really that they were a local small business…read moreuntil just recently! Several great spots I know carry these ice cream sandwiches (Pittsburgh Taco Boys, Burghers in Millvale, among numerous others. I tried my first Leona's sandwich from the Millvale restaurant). Some supermarkets carry them too, I think. I had their lemon meringue ice cream sandwich. Man, it's really good. The sandwich part is sturdy and holds all the great ice cream together. The ice cream is fresh and flavorful, and quite sweet. I just really enjoyed it. Yes, decently pricey but high quality, so I think it's worth it.
