    4 empty containers

    Wow! Based off the pictures posted we thought this would be a great stop for the kiddos. WRONG! They hardly had any ice cream flavors, most were empty buckets, even though we walked in 5 minutes after opening. Beyond the lack of ice cream at an ice cream shop, they also didnt even have cones! On the menu behind the counter bubble tea is also listed but did they have it? Nope! Don't waste your time or money! You would have better luck going threw a McDonalds drive thru to see if their ice cream machine was working...

    I just couldn't eat in the cone anymore ( MELTING ALL OVER  )

    Well just gotta wander down here on an overheated day . Prices are going up these days and Coraopolis is the town that keeps it lower. This is just a great little addition to the town .

    Janie's homemade ice cream is a recent addition to the Coraopolis area. Named for a beloved family member Maryjane AKA Janie who is deceased, Janie's memory is honored with a beautiful picture as you enter on the side. The place is small and the staff very friendly and helpful. They serve Betsy's ice cream which is based in Mt. Lebanon. Betsy's ice cream is premium farm sourced and made at their store on Washington Road, Mt Lebanon. Betsy's ice cream is always one of my favorites so I was glad to have the opportunity to try it in a new location. They carry about 20 of Betsy's flavors including one vegan one. Prices are very reasonable and you can not only taste but also mix and match flavors should you choose more than one scoop. They also carry pints for takeout and are open year round. As a novelty for children they carry plastic baseball helmets instead of cups. I inquired about the banana whip and learned that they grind a fresh banana into a mix to give it a fresh soft served flavor. I was indeed pleased to see that they carried Betsy's signature flavor known as "Pittsburgh Pride." Designed to resemble the black and gold of the city, the yellow ice cream is mixed with chocolate chips and cookies. That flavor was definitely a "must" for me to pair with a scoop of blueberry cheesecake. The vegan flavor they were carrying was toasted coconut latte. They also have for purchase bottled water and soda pop for $1.00. In addition to ice cream you can purchase smoothies, milk shakes, sundaes, floats, as well as your traditional banana splits. Raised seating as well as children's tables are available if you choose to eat inside. The place has no restrooms. Free WiFi is available. At this point they don't have regular tap water but they welcomed my suggestion of having some available for customers. Janie's homemade hard ice cream sits in the middle of the Coraopolis business district headed westbound. Inexpensive metered street parking is available. Janie's is indeed a welcome addition to the west suburbs of Pittsburgh.

    I was hoping for good ice cream but this exceeded our expectations! The staff was friendly and generous with tasting amounts. The apple pie flavor is the most delicious ice cream EVER, perfect for fall! Pittsburgh pride is also yummy! It's a family business and they really care about your experience there. Counting down the days before I come back to Coraopolis so I can return. Sizes are huge!

    I'm a sucker for local ice cream shops. I haven't met a flavor here that I haven't loved.

    Good ice cream, and service. I would change the decor though, looks like a 90s teen club.

    Sewickley Confectionary sells treats such as ice creams, gelatos, sundaes, milkshakes, and slush…read morepuppies. They even sell Leona's lactose-free products. During my visit, the display cases contained ice cream flavors such as black raspberry, peanut butter, coconut, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate chip, coffee, mint chip, cookie dough, butter pecan, banana cream pie, moose tracks, etcetera. The employee promptly and politely scooped ice cream for my husband and me, and she accurately charged us. I had ordered a cup of caramel praline turtle ice cream, and my husband had ordered a hot fudge sundae. We rate these treats as 4 stars each. The servings were a good size, and we enjoyed the flavors. A small seating area was available with a table and chairs. This furniture was clean, and we appreciated the space to eat our treats inside the business.

    Best Ice cream and service around! Came here for a last minute hot five sundae, and honestly this…read morewas the best sundae I've ever had! I don't know what type of ice cream this is but it's amazing and fresh! A huge variety of flavors, I got a scoop of Cookie Monster drenched in decadent hot fudge! They also have gelato that looked amazing! On a side note, they have a freezer with beef and meats from a local farm, which is a huge plus if you want locally sourced proteins for dinner! I saw a couple of gluten free items from somewhere near by and also fresh English muffins that I would love to try. Stop down for some seriously good surprises !
