Delicious frozen custard and a business dedicated to being part of the local community!!…read more If you live in Monroeville, you gotta love a Meadows run!! Drive thru custard and handcrafted sundaes, parfaits, milkshakes, and every other creation in existence!! Yes, the flavors may seem limited on the daily... but that's part of the fun of this business. They post the two flavors of the day on a monthly calendar so you can circle your favorites and plan ahead!! They always have vanilla and chocolate, but they hand create each flavor as you order. Want the Oreo Mint... they scoop some Oreos into the mint tub and create your flavor!! The service is always great and they always hire a lot of local youth!! Smiles. Happiness.. and ice cream!! If you ever feel inclined, the inside is amazing too. Plenty of seats and very cool decor inside and out.

The service was extremely fast. I have been inside on previous visits, they have tables inside for seating. For reference my order was $6.50 for a medium waffle cone.

Having grown up in Jefferson Hills, I have been to Al's Cone Zone more times than I can remember…read more It is a classic, reasonably priced establishment that is beloved by locals and visitors alike. Al's is located on State Route 885 in Jefferson Hills, just to the right of the entrance to 885 Park and Baseball Fields. The building is a bright blue, and covered with fun paintings of ice cream and other items they sell. So, you definitely will not miss it. It is a seasonal operation that usually runs from sometime in March to sometime in October. There is a ton of parking here. You will find some spots in front of the windows. Due to no fault of Al's, I personally find these a little difficult to get in and out of, just with the nature of 885 as a road. To the right of the building, there is a large parking lot, with spaces much easier to get in and out of. Al's purchased this parcel a few years ago, and made it into an expanded lot. There is a walkway leading to the building right from this lot. This visit in particular was this past September. I was in the area eating dinner, so I decided to stop by Al's for dessert on the way back. I arrived around 8:50 PM, and they closed at 9:00, so naturally there was not much of a wait at this time. The store is a classic outdoor ice cream stand. Meaning that you walk up and order at the windows, and there is no indoor seating. However, there are plenty of benches and picnic tables on either side of the building. Depending on the time of day that you visit, these might be full, so next best thing would be to tailgate at your car! I have tried a large amount of the menu here over the years, and there are a lot of great items. The Tornadoes are huge, and there are so many toppings available to mix in. Cones and dishes are gigantic, regardless of the size. I like the Ice Cream Sandwiches, particularly the ones with either the Chocolate Chip Cookie or the Peanut Butter Cookie. Milkshakes are tasty as well. In the fall, they will have Pumpkin Ice Cream, and tend to have other specials throughout the spring and summer. I have personally never tried the food items, but I imagine they are good! On this visit, I kept it rather simple with a Small Vanilla Cake Cone with Cherry Dip. As I said, the cones are very generous, so I normally stick to a small size. This one was a little porous and uniquely shaped, but that does not matter so long as it tastes good. It definitely did! The person who waited on me was friendly and quick. I understand it can be annoying to have customers so close to closing time, but I appreciated their demeanor and service on this day. The value here is pretty great. Most of the items are soft-serve, so naturally it will be less than hand-scooped ice cream. My cone was under $5, and that included getting the add-on of dip. Al's has always been a crazy good value, and I believe they still are. In the past few years, they also started to take cards. So, no reason not to stop by! Some bonus aspects of Al's are that they will give you a free Pup Cup with your purchase. My dog loves ice cream, so I take advantage of this often. Also, they offer a Punch Card if you ask for one when placing your order. So, if you buy 10 items, you will get one free once you present the card. I have always been a fan of Al's, and now try to stop by whenever I can. I do not live as close anymore, but it is still worth it to come by every once in a while for some delicious treats. The owner is very kind, as well as all of the staff. The product is good, and there really is something for everyone here. Plus, the atmosphere and overall value really bring it over the top. If you find yourself in the Jefferson Hills/Clairton/West Mifflin area anytime soon, make sure to stop by Al's!

I was a customer of theirs at the Juneteenth festival in downtown Pittsburgh. They were serving dairy ice-creams (e.g., butter pecan, strawberry, Oreo, cookie dough, vanilla, chocolate, super human [cherry, blue moon, and vanilla], cotton candy, yippee skippy [peanut butter, caramel, brownies, and chocolate-covered pretzels, and banana cream) and vegan Italian ices (e.g., raspberry lemon, strawberry hibiscus, watermelon, kiwi, and carrot mango). An employee kindly greeted me. She needed me to repeat my order, but the employees correctly assembled my sundae. I liked the flavors very much. It had two scoops and toppings and cost about $10.

I got to try out their brownies (they also serve a variety of baked foods outside of just ice cream) and their strawberry cheesecake milkshake. Both were delicious. I was especially surprised by how amazing the brownies were. Awesome portion size, very chocolatey, pretty rich, and great texture as well. The milkshake was also great. Portion was nice, and they managed to get a nice strawberry flavor. I will say the base itself doesn't have much of a cheesecake flavor to it, but they include little bits of cheesecake throughout the milkshake to make up for that. All in all, a fantastic little ice cream shop to support and visit!

They also serve ice cream out of another window and they have a walk-up for that! Looks well kept. I got a honey bee latte with almond milk the other day, sans the toppings (whipped cream and graham cracker) since Im doing no wheat or dairy at the moment. I'm glad I asked what came on top because I'm not confident they would have left that stuff off, so just be warned if you have food allergies to ask the questions! When someone wants a nut milk, they should double check it's not a food allergy. The coffee was very good! I'm always worried it's going to be too sweet but they used the right amount of flavorings and it was really nice. I'd definitely order that again and if I'm in the area, I'd stop by! They're a little hidden gem about 10 min off route 22, and there's not a lot of coffee options in that area so I'm happy to have this here! I think it's smart for them to do ice cream and coffee.

I've always loved Millie's Ice Cream, and the ice cream itself is consistently delicious…read more Unfortunately, my recent experience at the Murrysville location was very disappointing because of the customer service. I came in prepared to purchase several pints of ice cream for my husband, my boys, and myself. However, I was unable to open the freezer door where the coffee and root beer flavors were located. Three employees were standing nearby, and when I struggled with the door, one simply said, "Yeah, it does that for a few seconds." I waited, tried again, and still couldn't get it open. Despite clearly having difficulty, none of the staff offered to help. Frustrated, I went to the checkout with fewer items than I had intended to purchase. When the cashier asked if that was all, I explained that I couldn't get the other door open. Her response was simply, "Okay, your total is..." without any attempt to assist or address the situation. The ice cream is great, but customer service matters too. A simple offer to help could have turned this into a positive experience. Unfortunately, because of how this situation was handled, I don't think I'll be returning to the Murrysville location.
