    Sometimes I find Millie's to be a it salty for my taste (it's flavor dependent). Today, I tried four flavors and only one had that salty taste. I enjoyed the root beer float flavor, and the lemon drop. And the chocolate was quite rich, the way I like it!

    We had the best time at Shadyside Millie's location. We got to sample the summer solstice flavor. It was a lemon blueberry flavor and we also grabbed some pup cups! It was the perfect flavor for summer

    Parking was tricky but this location has more dairy free options than the others. We ordered my kid got vanilla with sprinkles and I ordered two of the seasonal dairy-free options (banana cream pie and something else) - I was not a fan of the dairy free ones because they are coconut milk based and I don't like coconut milk but I powered through because being able to have something outside of sorbet is such a rare treat! The servers were fast and kind. Prices are reasonable. We eat in the space they have and it was fine. There were a few kids in there hanging out and giving the employees a hard time but I was not bothered by them. They do have a bathroom.

    Staff was SO kind! more than happy to let me try multiple flavors and ask all sorts of questions about how the ice creams are made. They went as far as to check the recipe book just cause I had questions as a professional baker myself about how they got a specific flavor! Multiple flavors were good enough to order, and I was actually impressed with the variety. I am often tired of the options at ice cream places, Millie's has interesting and new flavors!!

    This was my go to dessert spot throughout my grad school days when craving a sugar high, it was only fair i came back to it on my trip back to town. The inside is somewhat oldschool with white rectangular tiles alongwith red exposed bricks. They had fun merchandise on sale too, but hey I aint looking else where when im in the mood for some ice cream. We wanted to to be sure we got the best flavors, so we asked for tasters and the server obliged. He helped us decide what we should get and we finally decided on lavendar and chocolate. The. We were confused if we should get a waffle cone or a cup, so he just gave us a crushed waffle cone in a cup. Shoutout to him for making it perfect for us. They have many new locations now but this were I would always go for nostalgia!

    I love ice creams, so while we were in Pittsburg, I had to try Millie's ice creams. I love how cute it looks both outside and inside the store. The guy behind the counter was very sweet and helpful in picking out our flavours of choice. We ended up getting brownie batter and Lavender Lemon Ripple in a cup, with crushed waffle bits on top. The brownie batter was rich and creamy, and exactly what you'd want from a flavour like that. While the lavender lemon ripple tasted fresh and fruity in comparison. We liked to pair the two and eat them together. But the store also offers other amazing flavours, and I would definitely recommend.

    Quite pricey nowadays for ice cream. The ice cream was a little sweeter than I'd like but I love the fact that they have lots of dietary restriction options.

    The cookie dough ice cream here is amazing. While it may seem like a basic option, the ice cream has an almond or cake batter flavor to it that I enjoy. The staff is here is always super friendly as well.

    I'm lactose intolerant and risked it all for Millie's- it was worth it. If you're lack toast and toddler aunts- you should totally risk it too. I actually got ice cream from their super cute ice cream truck- so I can't rate this exact establishment- but the ice cream tastes the same I'm sure, and I can't rate a food truck so this is what everyone gets! I tried their pumpkin pie flavor with the crushed waffle cone topping. It was very tasty. Felt just like being at Thanksgiving dinner minus the politics Would absolutely risk it all for Millie's again

    Cookie dough and olive oil.

    A. MUST. STOP. in Pittsburgh. I have only been to this particular location because of its proximity to Squirrel Hill, but they do have a few locations spread out in Pittsburgh. I had Millie's even when it was snowing. I stop by Millie's every time I visited Pittsburgh. Lactose intolerance never stopped me. I have my Lactaid pill ready to go, but Millie's has Lactaid pills ready for you near the register incase you forget. My favorite flavors are cookie dough and pistachio. I had their olive oil flavor and it was surprisingly good too!

    Chocolate, Peanut chip, and mint chip

    Delicious ice cream. Tried the peanut butter chip. Wish I had room for the pistachio. The staff was very friendly and kind.

    My brother just moved into an apartment super close to Millie's, so we couldn't resist going - I'm sure we will be back many times based on this experience! The homemade ice cream is excellent. Super creamy and not supermarket-y at all. Love how there's enough variety and uniqueness among the flavor options while still keeping things simple and straightforward. Loved it here! 5/5

    I visited the location in Shadyside on November 22nd around 7:30PM. The customer service was out of this world. I wish I had gotten the names of both employees who were ever so patient with myself and my friend while we were there! We could not make up our minds, tried a few different samples, and took or time contemplating on an ice cream flavor. The patience of both employees a day before the holiday with two annoying & indecisive customers is the reason I'm giving this location five stars. I am a frequent customer at Millies. I enjoy their ice cream and seasonal flavors. I am a huge fan of their waffle cones. The aroma of spices from freshly made cones fills the establishment. They have plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The Shadyside location always has a sign that advertises the seasonal flavors.

    Ice cream is ok, nothing amazing. Certainly not worth the price. Jenis is the only place I'm willing to pay $10 for ice cream.

    I was having a real "Pittsburgh Proud" moment at this ice cream spot. I loved reading about the…read morehistory of the business and looking through all of the vintage advertisements and memorabilia outside the shop. My first thought after visiting was that I should have come here sooner, and my second thought was already deciding what I want to order next time. I am already planning to order the peanut butter soft serve with warm fudge and a warm cookie after being inspired by their chocolate chip cookie sundae advertisement and will need to ask about what the strawberry shortcake situation is all about as well. For years, I watched the long lines outside and wondered what all the hype was about. Sometimes you don't get it until you "get it" - and now I get it. Fortunately for us, there was barely any line when we arrived even though it was a hot summer day. Even better, it's only about a one-hour walk from my house. The service was also fast and friendly and the employee who helped us was pleasant the whole time which added to the overall experience. I was especially impressed by the peanut butter soft serve. The flavor was rich and pronounced without compromising the smooth, creamy texture of the soft serve. It was everything I would want peanut butter soft serve ice cream to be. I was also surprised by how many soft-serve flavors they offer. Most places have only a few options, but there was plenty to choose from here. That said, it's hard for me to order anything other than the peanut butter soft serve now that I know how much I love it. One thing to know is that they do not offer free samples because the flavors are made to order. Something else to know is that the small sized cone held noticeably more ice cream than the small cup despite being the same price - so if you can I suggest the cone over the cup if you want more ice cream for the same price. I originally chose the cup because my hands weren't clean, but I later realized the cones come with a plastic protector around them anyway. All in all, this is one of those places that lives up to its reputation, and I highly recommend coming here if you are an ice cream aficionado.

    Came on a rainy Sunday and the line was not too long! It moved quickly and the workers were really…read morefast and efficient in trying to get everyone's order. I got the strawberry shortcake sundae and it was huge! I did not expect it to be so big so if you're looking to share something this would be it! It's a staple and delicious. I will be coming back to try to different flavors they got going on.
