This Crispy Cones is a franchise restaurant that is owned by a local couple and serves ice creams…read morein a unique European-style baked-dough cone. The cone is available in traditional cinnamon-sugar and limited-time specialty flavors. The cone is filled with a spread such as Nutella, peanut butter, cookie butter, or strawberry jam. Then it is filled with soft-serve ice cream such as vanilla, chocolate, swirl, or a weekly specialty flavor. Toppings include cookies, candies, nuts, and more. Sauces include Nutella, caramel, cookie butter, and raspberry. I have been a customer here two times, and I tried several combinations of flavors. My husband and I liked the flavors of the cones, spreads, ice creams, and toppings, although they were a little messy to eat.

Kool Cones is a local, family-owned and -operated ice-cream shop…read more For several years, I have eaten at Kool Cones off and on. During my most recent visit, the menu listed soft serves, frozen yogurts, sundaes, shakes, floats, slushees, milkshakes, and more. I wanted to treat my dog Daisy to an ice cream. I did not see it listed on the menu, so I asked the employee. She spoke nicely with me, and she explained that a pup cup is vanilla ice cream. It would be nice to see additional flavors such as peanut butter. I bought it for $1.40. It had a milk bone on top. My dog ate about half of the ice cream and all of the milk bone. I think that she would have eaten all of it if she were not tired and hot. Some outdoor seating is available here.

Got her a pint. My go to flavor buckeye was still on the menu. I sat on the benches and quickly ate my waffle cone. It was melting faster than my licks. Wanted to get home before the banana ice cream melted. As always, McCandless Crossing parking is limited. Highly recommend you have ice cream today.

Some of my family's favorites are the Black Cherry, the Chocolate Cake Batter, Chocolate Pecan, and the Graham Central Station. The toppings are also always great. This location has great staff, as well! They have always been super friendly, helpful, and kind.

Examples of Italian ices are cherry, blueberry, mango, root beer, cotton candy, orange cream, lemon, and lime. Cyclone mix-ins include Oreo, Reese's Pieces, Snickers, Butterfinger, brownie, M&M, Heath, etcetera. So far, my husband and I have been customers here one time. Two employees promptly and courteously took our order and payment (cash only) and made our ice creams. My husband enjoyed his chocolate soft-serve ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry. I liked my banana split with my choice of ice creams--vanilla, black raspberry, and butter pecan--with pineapple, strawberries, whipped cream, walnuts, and a cherry.

I was served pretty quickly and she was also friendly and I like the different items you could buy in addition to ice cream it felt a little bit like a boutique.

The Birthday Cake flavor is sweet, with delicious blue buttercream frosting and sprinkles mixed in. They give generous sized scoops, so 2 are filling and worth the $5 price. Recommend checking here out and seeing the rotating flavors.

They have a nice variety of flavors and almost always have some seasonal specialties. What brought me in the first time was the collaboration with Skyline Chili. I was intrigued how the seemingly odd flavor would taste, but it was pretty decent. It wasn't something I'd order all of the time, but I was glad I tried it. My staple here is probably what they are most known for, the black raspberry chocolate chip. It is perfection. Just enough chips to add that chocolate flavor and texture without it overpowering the raspberry flavor. The staff was wonderful! Attentive, answered questions and they let you sample so you can be sure to be satisfied with your purchase. There is a variety of sizes available, cones, dishes, sundaes etc. You can also get pints and family size servings to go. The inside is welcoming and clean with a cool vibe to it. They also have some Graeter's merch for sale (but they don't push it). I highly recommend a visit here! You won't be disappointed.

We decided to share a double scoop, which was more than enough for us. After sampling a few different ice creams, we decided to go with two very "summer" flavors: summer peach and lemon meringue pie. The summer peach was super juicy and refreshing. I've never had peach-flavored ice cream before, so this was a really nice treat. I'm usually not the biggest fan of citrus-based desserts, but the lemon meringue pie ice cream blew me away. There was a good balance of bright acidity mixed with pie crumbles without being overly tart. Overall, solid ice cream flavors. I was even more impressed because these aren't the flavors I'd normally choose for myself, but I loved it. Stop by Graeter's if you're in the Pittsburgh area!
