LOVE Kip's! It's a neighborhood staple in Moon. Service is always friendly and QUICK! The line can get long but don't let it deter you. Everything is churned in house and they have rotating flavors that change daily/weekly as flavors run out. Everything is dog themed which is super fun for my toddler who is dog obsessed. I'm a classic chocolate chip cookie gal but have loved venturing into other flavors here. My new favorite is their Maltese turtle with caramel and pecans. There is some seating outside on the sidewalk but we often sit on the tailgate of the truck or the open the back hatch of our car to sit and enjoy our treats. read more

Went here after looking at an apartment with my kid. He really wanted to stop by. They are only cash but have an ATM on site. Was greeted right when we walked in and it smelled so sweet. They make all their own icecream in shop which is so nice! My son got the cookie and cream which he absolutely loved and I got the toffee iced coffee. I am Gluten free so I couldn't try his ice cream but it looked yummy. I was really in the mood for a vanilla with Reese cups in it but the lady told me that they didnt make that flavor today so that's why I got the coffee and it was delicious! Im not sure what whipped cream they used but it was AMAZING! read more

Kip's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

I came here for dessert after a very savory meal in Sewickley one evening... This place does a nice, steady business, so the food is definitely fresh! I noticed they had a limited edition menu and apple pie ice cream was on it... HAD TO GET IT!! BTW - All their ice creams are freshly made, in-house. I generally love to try a cookies & cream style ice cream, but when I saw apple pie, I was all in! I ordered two scoops to go and the girl who took care of me was great! When I said I was taking this back to my hotel to eat, she offered to put a top on it and put it in a bag with spoon and napkins - how nice! The ice cream was REALLY GOOD!! Perfectly made with apple pie spices in the ice cream and bits of crust and apple... YUM!! So, I highly recommend stopping, but TAKE CASH!!! They only take cash here, no credit cards. read more

Kips Ice Cream Store features homemade, incredible tasting ice cream, with about 5 special flavors weekly. I have loved each flavor that I have tried, and the quality is evident. They are about half the price of Sarris per quart, with equivalent or better quality. You can get a free pup cup for each item ordered, and can use a punch card to get free ice cream when filled. read more

The ice cream at Kip's is very creamy, rich and delicious. My husband and I usually each get a "kid's cup," which for us is just enough to be satisfying without being overly indulgent. The menu has a lot of ice cream flavors, but our favorites are chocolate chip and cherry vanilla. Service is always quick and friendly. When you go, remember that they accept cash only, not credit cards. No indoor seating. Just benches outside the store. Or, enjoy savoring your treat in your car. The parking lot is very spacious. read more

We had a wonderful first time here the other evening. I had a particularly tough day and was in the need of an ice cream, so my mom and I took the dog out for a ride and went to the closest shop. Kips had good reviews and has been around a long time, and we went in and didn't know what to expect. The place is dog themed- and dog friendly (outside not inside please!) which I didn't know before we went, but the menu items and dexor reflect that theme. They will post a photo of your dog on the wall if you bring it in, and for each item you order they will give you an ice cream cup for your pup! I don't have pictures because a dog leash and an ice cream didn't allow for photography- but I got a featured flavor called "walnuts and gromit" (a play on Wallace and Gromit the characters one of whom is a dog) and it was delicious. Wanuts and vanilla ice cream with butterscotch and butterscotch chips. My mom got a pecan ball with hot fudge. We also ordered my sister two scoops of 101 chocolate chips to go. All three of us got plenty of ice cream for our serving and it was around $12. We will definitely go again read more

The best ice cream I've ever had! Options are plentiful with a nice variety of flavors. Love the selection of cones too. Note: they only take cash, but they do have an ATM machine in the store. They need one of these in Florida PLEASE! read more

The ice cream is home made and very good. Had one of the specials of the day. The prices are good and they serve slush puppies.I believe the cones are homemade, too. Has an ATM because the only take cash. The lady may rush a bit, but that may just be how she has to run her services, so that's ok with me. I found the dog movie posters neat. read more

Oh my goodness it's so good Creamy smooth homemade ice cream The shop has dog theme it's very cute Located in a non descriptive strip of stores this place is worth a visit The girls working there were very friendly Inside the smell was so good Waffles cones being baked I mean come on what could be a better welcome I had pendot (nuts & marshmallow in chocolate ice cream nestled a waffle cone.

Kip's Ice Cream - Penndot road in a waffle - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

It was a great selection of ice cream which was nice but it is all cash, no debit or credit cards, which I didn't expect.

I grew up with Kip's as our local ice cream shop. To this day, I still crave their Phantom Fudge ice cream almost weekly! Phantom Fudge is homemade dark chocolate ice cream with fudge swirls throughout... delicious! Their homemade waffle cones are thick, vanilla-y, and perfectly crunchy- my favorite in the area for sure. Two things that bother me since it's the 21st century: 1) They ONLY take cash! For a single scoop on a waffle cone, it's $4. My boyfriend and I usually spend $8-$10 there and it's annoying that we can't use a card. Sometimes we choose a different ice cream shop solely for that reason. They do have an ATM inside, but no one wants to pay the fees! 2) I haven't noticed any dairy free options. It would be great if they could have at least 2 rotating nondairy options! Overall, I love Kip's, but I also feel they need to step up their game in a few areas! read more

My wife enjoyed the mint chocolate chip ice cream even though she would have preferred moose tracks ice cream. I had a strawberry banana smoothie which was pretty good. read more

Cute, clean Ice cream shop in moon (note - they only accept cash). It's located in a strip mall so there is a lot of parking and it's easy to get to. They make the ice cream in house and have about 20 constant flavors and 5 features of hard ice cream. They are generous with the scoops, a single is $3.75. They have puppy scoops too! Everything we tried was delicious, and we will definitely be back. read more

We love Kips! Great homemade ice cream and friendly staff. Keep in mind it's cash only before you go but they do have an ATM if needed. Everything is well-priced and great quality! read more

Should accept other forms of payment, besides cash. We wanted to try something different but only learned of this policy when we got to the door. When looking for info on the business on Yelp, this should be clearly stated. read more

I found my ice cream bland at best . A little pricey for what you get. Staff was friendly enough .

Cute little ice cream place in moon. They have great ice cream and they are super dog friendly. You can take home a pup cup with a dog treat for your furry friend. There are a lot of ice cream flavors to chose from, from basic to more interesting ones. Would recommend!! read more

Great ice cream but the male employee was having a meltdown about being too overstocked on some cups then proceeded to be a bit rude to a customer in an annoyed tone read more

Great Ice cream spot! Homemade hard packed ice cream. Each flavor is uniquely named after a dog or something dog related (ex beagle bonanza). Lots Of cute dog decor inside. Wide variety of types of cones and toppings. Large portion and great prices. Cash only but they have an atm inside. You can't bring your dog in but there are benches outisde and dog treats inside. No inside seating but again, benches outside and you can walk around as it's in a shopping center. A must visit! Open all year read more

LOVE this family-owned small business. Always choose this place or Janie's for dessert. Been around since my wife lived here as a kid and has been amazing for just as long. read more

A massive selection to choose from, but most seem to be pretty basic. Nothing wrong with that, but just don't expect a large selection of flavors with bold mix-ins, and crazy flavors. read more

If your a coffee lover, try the coffee caramel chip! This is one of the best flavors I've had at Kips. I made it a hot fudge sundae with pecans and it was amaaaaazing Too bad there isn't another location in Pittsburgh read more

Kip's Ice Cream - Coffee caramel chip hot fudge sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

This place has literally gone to the dogs but in a good way! Named for the German Shepherd Kip who passed away about 4 years back Kip's sits in a strip mall in Coraopolis near Armstrongs. Inside there are movie posters, pictures, and models of dogs everywhere. You can even bring in a picture of your own dog and they will hang it on the bulletin board! Now onto the ice cream. All of their ice cream with the exception of no sugar ones are homemade and they do have specialty ice creams. The specialty ones rotate out periodically. My girlfriend and I each decided to get one of their specialty's that consisted of black raspberry with chocolate chips.Ours was called "rollover rover" limited edition. This place is cash only and when I inquired as to why I was told that was the owner's decision. My impression is that is must be like a similar place I recently visited that since the ice cream is inexpensive it is not worth the credit card fee. However, if you come without cash there is an ATM right inside so you can get the needed funds. There really isn't anyplace to sit indoors. There are a couple of benches outside which made it handy for us to enjoy our sweet treat. Yes, they have a rewards card too. After 7 purchases then you are entitled to one free scoop of ice cream. the ice cream was indeed very rich and filling and portion size was generous for two scoops. Please note that bottled water is available for sale. There are no fountains. There's lots of flavors to choose from and of course you can have your ice cream made in all the traditional ways. Definitely worth a return trip next time I'm in the area. read more

Ice cream was amazing service was terrible. A girl came up to take our order at 9:38 mind you they close at 10 which is a fair time already with a disgusted look on her face. She asked what we wanted and I said can I have a scoop of ice cream with sprinkles and she replied with attitude one scoop or two. my boyfriend then asked for a m and m avalanche which you have to use the blender for.... and she looked at him for 10s and then stared at her clock and never gave him a response. she went to go make the icecream and kept giving us dirty looks while looking at her clock. as we checked out she said to us " If you would have came in 10 minutes later we wouldn't have made that for you." with attitude. I responded with don't you guys close at 10? and she proceeded to say that at 9:50 they don't make those anymore meanwhile we ordered at 9:38. we left the store at 9:48 as she continued to give us attitude as we walked out the door. read more

This is my first five star rating and I gotta tell you, if I could give the Kipper more I would! All of the ice cream is homemade, sweet creamery mounds of divinity, infused with candy or nuts or fruit and plenty of L-O-V-E. After a long flight from the West coast we stopped here for a little pick-me-up. Small tastes revealed so many options I grew dizzy at the thought but settled on some concoction with peanut butter cups and chocolate lacing throughout. Sis got her usual, vanilla with big, fat cherries, simple and straightforward like an early Beatles tune. The top of the pops had to go to the Pumpkin pecan, a layered revelation of pumpkin, spices and crunchy pecans, so good it made forget about jet-lag, terrorism and the sound of falling stocks. Thank you Kip's. I'm yours for eternity... read more

I'm a very picky person and this place exceeds my expectations. Fast Lovely staff The staff is amazing!! The ice cream is delicious!!! Dog friendly I don't have a dog if I did I'd be here all the time. Easy parking. Plenty of flavors to chose from! read more

They've got great ice cream. But they are slow as molasses filling orders. We come here because the ice cream is good. But we've left a few times when the line was out the door because they have one girl working and she moves the speed of a turtle. read more

This place has the Best homemade ice cream. It is named after a dog and they have dog ice cream as well. You can even get a free doggy treat for your dog. My favorite flavor is cookie dough. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! Kip's is a small shop tucked away in a Moon Township strip mall. As you walk in you're greeted to a memory wall where Kip is remembered. I Heart Dogs ... so it's certainly a beautiful tribute. Our group had a cone, cup, shake, and sundae. It was all good. Seriously, the cone was fresh and the brownie on the sundae was delicious. And the ice cream? Yum! ps: Cash Only! read more

Amazing service and menu options. Staff was very helpful on our picks of ice cream and ice cream was delicious!!

The first and only time I have ever been here, I walked inside the little front area to hear a dark-haired, older woman very loudly talking to someone on the phone. I quickly gathered she was an owner or manager, and the person on the phone was an upset customer. As I waited for my chocolate milkshake, I realized I was not just in an ice cream shop, but in a theater, with the owner/manager/performer on her stage. Though standing two steps away from a backroom door where she could have had a quiet and private phone conversation, she chose to stand in the middle of the main room, facing the customers, to be heard and seen by whoever walked in. She kept maintaining eye contact with me and the two other female customers standing near me, while she shouted, dramatically scoffed, and gave exaggerated facial expressions at us, desperate for us to engage and comment. Her attention-seeking theatrics made me feel so uncomfortable and annoyed, I was on the verge of either running out without my milkshake or saying to her, "Can you please act like a professional adult woman with class and step in the other room to have your phone conversation?" I didn't have time for this however because the guy making my milkshake, who was silent and looked like he was embarrassed about her behavior, was done. I paid and left just as she hung up and began complaining about the person on the phone to whoever would listen. I have zero tolerance for obnoxiousness, especially in the workplace and especially by women enforcing stereotypes that women can't be strong business leaders. I don't want to support a business run by someone like that, and I haven't been back since. Oh, and the milkshake was really plain. read more

Well I got tons of attitude on my trip today. Asked of the flavors in the lower corner with the paw prints next to them were for dogs?? She answered "read the caption next to it" it says limited time flavors, ok are these limited time dog flavors?? She then tries to belittle me by saying "look there is a chocolate flavor on there that would kill a dog." Well how the F do I know it's not an artificial flavoring. Such attitude, and you could tell by her response that she had been asked the dog question before. All the flavors on the wall with nothing beside them. 5 in the corner with paws, figured I'd ask. If you insist on having such asinine signage just give me a yes or no answer. Will not be back read more

Whoever owns Kip's instinctively knows that dogs and children have something in common: a love for ice cream. Before you walk in, puppies and full grown dogs can be seen cavorting with kids of all ages, all of them celebrating the frozen, the scrumptious, the hand-dipped. Upon making it inside, you'll find picture of dogs and movie posters from dog-related films on the walls. Then you get that chill that hits your nose right before you detect the scent of freshly made waffle cones; a sign that you're dealing with serious creamerists. Another sign that you've found yourself in a parlor built by people that worship sweet dairy products congealed by cold: a sign that states outright that the ice cream is made on the premises. Fresh hand-dipped ice cream doesn't hold up well, but the perservatives it lacks are to blame for its quality. Homemade hand-dipped is roughly the same consistency as soft serve. It isn't a hard ice cream designed to withstand freezer burn. This is an ice cream that is very much in the moment. You enjoy it while it lasts, you must eat it fast. I could tell that my double pretzel cone (I always wanted to try one) of Penndot Road (a humorous local twist on Rocky Road) and Phantom Fudge (chocolate on chocolate on chocolate) as I witnessed the ease at which each glob was scooped. There was no straining, no resistance. The scoop acted as the proverbial hot knife, the ice cream acting as the butter. The staff knows that good ice cream melts quickly, giving patrons a styrofoam cup as a precaution and a clear plastic holder for the cone itself. While I probably wouldn't order a pretzel cone in the future (it was a little too pre-fab for me) it went on famously with the delicate chocolate ice cream, the salt punctuating the flavors like only that most essential mineral can. As we ate on a bench outside, a brother-sister duo of Labrador Retriever pups pushed around cups of ice cream and then laid on their bellies waiting for strangers to pet them. Kip's was the perfect end to a summer evening and was well worth driving around for, the GPS in the Kaymobile proving indispensible in finding this suburban strip-mall treasure. read more

I am turning Pecanese - okay the song may not be appropriate but they have some really yummy Ice Cream. The Ice Cream is made locally onsite everyday. I had the Butter Pecanese and it was really good. They have the different cones, sprinkles, etc.... If you have a sweet tooth - you better get you some. read more

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for salvaging a horrible meal at Armstrongs. What a hidden gem this place is, tucked away in a strip mall at Thorn Run Rd/Beaver Grade Rd. They close at 9PM, but stay open for a few extra minutes to let the late stragglers (like me) through. GREAT business strategy. The girls working there were easy on the eyes, but more importantly, VERY helpful. Thank you for the conversation and welcoming me to the area! Kip's has great names for all the ice cream flavors (like PENNDOT ROAD for rocky road hahahah) -- mostly dog themed. Some flavors rotate in season. However, so as not to leave the customer guessing, there is a cheat sheet to show what is in each flavor. Everything here (except the no sugar offerings) is made daily on site. Prices were excellent and it's a very inviting store. I had a double scoop of a dark chocolate and fudge ice cream for under $4 that was out of this world. Very creamy and clearly of a fresh flavor. Nice benches outside too once it warms up. Do you like ice cream? If yes, is it before 9 PM? If yes, do you have cash? If yes, DO NOT GO to Dairy Queen, Cold Stone, Baskin Robbins, etc... GO TO KIP'S. 5 stars and I will be back repeatedly (weight loss pending). read more

What a great help yelp can be on the go! We found this place when I decided I wanted some ice cream. What a cute place! Great staff and lots of interesting flavors to choose from!

Otherwise a great experience and worth a visit. Thanks yelp! read more
