    Today was my first time hearing about this place. I was going somewhere else initially but then I saw this on the way and decided to stop in. It truly was an experience! Since I never have been here before I wanted to try all of the ice cream flavors and the employee was very helpful and she made it very fun. She also did not mind that I took photos and videos of her. Both of the young ladies were very nice. I taste it almost every flavor, maple walnut, butter pecan, burnt almond, peachy, strawberry pretzel salad, and so many others that I cannot remember. I ended up purchasing two single scoops of maple walnut and strawberry pretzel salad and I am highly satisfied. I will definitely be there again!!! I had to come back to edit this review because I noticed the second time that I went (today) that the scoops are VERY small. I thought the first time was just an accident, but the small scoops of ice cream seem to be consistent.

    Betsy's ice cream is awesome. I got a sugar cone with strawberry pretzel and wild blackberry. The place is really cute and old fashioned.

    I wish I would've overcome my anxiety sooner. Due to the location of the shop being in a place that is utterly chaotic, lacks convenient parking, and only offers late weekday hours, I have strayed away. However, the time was now; I wanted to support them for having such substantial ownership, caring for their employees and customers. It was well worth the stress getting there. They have a wonderful array of flavors to choose from, and they offer sundaes, as well as other assorted menu items. I always go for as unique as possible when I visit shops such as these, so I went for the strawberry pretzel salad, (as well as Monongahela Mud to take home). OMG is it one of the best ice creams and creations that I have ever had!!!! The ice cream texture/consistency was spot-on, and the flavor was immense. 10/10 all-around. As for the prices? It's what you would expect for the quality of the ice cream, and especially the location fo the shop, where most customers can afford to pay more, so ya, it's on the higher end, but still competitive to other local shops of the same quality. If it was just a little lower, I would've bought a bunch of pints to bring home, and would gladly battle the insanity of traffic and parking to go back often. Finally, the place itself. It has that old school soda shop kind of feel, like it's been there forever. They offer indoor and some outdoor seating. Plus, the biggest and grandest factor of them all--they are very covid safe. That alone brought me there finally, and will forever have my appreciation and love for them for years to come. I am now a big-time fan of Betsy's for many reasons!

    Stumble upon this place on my afternoon stroll in the area. Intended to get their ice-cream and quickly changed my mind when I saw their float menu! Ordered their Jamaican Me Crazy & Coconut Mojito! I love it! Definitely coming back for more! Their ice-cream menu is very reasonable compared to other ice-cream places that I've been.

    Cute ice cream place. It's an old building but they have milkshakes and different kinds of toppings. It's nice that it's close by the restaurants and cafes so if you have room for desert after a meal and crave ice cream go to Betsy's!!!

    a display of ice creams

    Betsy's used to be my favorite ice cream shop but it has sadly gone downhill. I went earlier this summer and they were out of a lot and the service wasn't as good. Tried going again today. I waited several minutes and no one came out to help me so I left and went somewhere else. The display was in total disarray with the display door housing the ice cream left open, and I could barely read the labels on the flavors in the next display case. It was sad.

    5 years and going strong

    Wow...went there once and never going back. Six bucks for what amounted to one scoop of mediocre icecream...what s waste of money.

    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.

    This local ice cream walk up is steeped in Pittsburgh history and still serving delicious treats…read moretoday. This was my second visit and I tried my first Arctic Swirl: toasted coconut soft serve with chocolate chunks. Loved every bite. My first visit I tried a seasonal flavor soft serve, cookie butter crunch, on a cone. It was so creamy and flavorful. They have so many flavors and categories, I need to keep coming back to try more before they close for the winter. Their fall flavors are dropping after Labor Day weekend. Find a parking spot either around the building or in the parking lot out back; stand in line; look over the menu; place your order and pay; wait for your delicious treat to be served in the next window. If the line is really long, read about their history from the photos on the back of the building. Be sure to follow Page's on social media to keep up to date with their menu. Did you know they also serve food?! They do.

    This place was surprisingly busy, even on a weekday evening, which says a lot about how popular it…read moreis. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved at a reasonable pace. They have plenty of ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from, so it was hard to make a decision. I ended up getting the cookie butter ice cream in a waffle cone with sprinkles, and it was delicious. The prices felt fair for the portion sizes and the variety of options available. Overall, it's a great spot for ice cream with lots of choices and good value. I'd definitely stop by again.
