It was my first night in Pittsburgh, so I thought it would be worthwhile to explore the downtown area. There was hardly a soul on the streets. Oh, did I mention it was 28 degrees and that the wind was whipping me around like I was Auntie Em's house in "The Wizard of Oz"? Instead of searching for hot cocoa, I came here mostly because it was one of the few businesses that looked open, and who doesn't like ice cream in below freezing weather? The place was busy, though I figured out it was one large group of entitled people who insisted on ordering together to get everything on one bill. They were indifferent to my withering patience at their insistence in sampling flavors. Finally my turn, and to the server's credit, she apologized even though it wasn't her fault. There was quite a selection of flavors that required a speed reading course as they were on individual placards on the display case window. I went for the $8 Classic in a cup because it came with two flavors (Photo 9). One was a hit, the other a miss. The hit was Coffee Dream, a no-brainer that combined coffee beans with sweet cream. The miss was Cannoli where I should've gotten a clue from the description "cannoli-inspired". It was an unwieldy mix of pistachios, waffle cone bits, and chocolate chips. The texture was strangely grainy. I ended up throwing that scoop out. Sorry Millie. ICE CREAM - 3 stars...a hit and a big miss AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...crowded SERVICE - 4 stars...valiant effort TOTAL - 3 stars...avoid risky flavors here RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/2t69DYyO_m
Millie's in the perfect location right next to market square. I walked in and was able to sample two flavors which was super helpful because they have so many good flavors to choose from! I ended up getting half and half of the vanilla coconut (I believe this one was dairy free) and then also backyard s'mores. I added caramel and hot fudge. The store is very clean and cute and is an instant mood boost with the bright colors. The staff member was extremely kind and helpful. I will definitely be back!
Will be a regular here as I'm in town for work. Great custardy texture. Sweet staff with some seating and to go pints! Went with chads vanilla and best chocolate. Will be trying almost every flavor.
My family and I stopped in here when we were in Pittsburgh for some late night ice cream. The lines were out the door so I knew it had to be good. We go in there and it's a small little shop and we got the counter. the lady that gave me my ice cream was nice, and the ice cream that we all had was really delicious, so I definitely recommend it.
Friend took me here while I was in town. Quick service. Fun atmosphere especially if you choose to see outside. Yummy ice cream!
One of the best vegan ice creams I have tried. Love the flavors, location and people. Especially the brownie flavor and mango were amazing.
We received a coupon after our walking tour. It was colder weather, but ice cream is always good. Located near Market Square, it's a small, cheerful ice scream shop with that offers some homemade, different flavor choices. I liked my ube ice cream with Rice Krispies, it wasn't too sweet. There was only one employee working, but he was nice.
This is a smaller location but Millie's Ice Cream is a must try! I had a sundae with cookie dough ice cream and it was delicious as always. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. There's a couple of tables if you'd like to dine in plus to-go options for home like pre-packed pints!
On our vacation in Pittsburgh we went to Millie's homemade ice cream and it was one of the most enjoyable ice cream cones I had. I chose the tea berry flavour. I did not know what it was but I chose it anyways. It tasted like root beer and had a purple-ish colour. The texture was nice and it was not too sweet. The service was very quick and the decor was cute. Overall it was very delicious and I would recommend.
Service was so friendly and the portions are generous. I enjoyed the flavors and it's a blessing in disguise I don't live in Pittsburgh, because otherwise I'd always be around!
This is a small ice cream shop that is just off of Market Square downtown. Lots of creative flavors to choose from, and it's all home-made. They even have some dairy-free options. This visit, I had a scoop of "Coffee Break", and it was really good. Very friendly staff.
Every time I looked up things I NEEDED to try in Pittsburgh, this place popped up. Who am I to deny Google the satisfaction. I walked in on Easter Sunday with my mom to check out what this was all about. My mom got what she always got: coffee on a sugar coffee. I decided to be festive with the pistachio and carrot cake. Both of my flavors were fantastically balanced and incredibly creamy. There nice, big chunks of nuts and cake, respectively, in the scoops, and I just can't get over how friendly anyone is here! Are we just jerks in California? I certainly don't mean to be. My only complaint is that I wish the ice cream was a bit more firm. I like to bite into my ice cream. That small fault was made up for in the adorable decor. Fun, bubble, clean, and PINK! Gotta love it! Would definitely come back to try other flavors.
I am visiting Pittsburgh. The ice cream was creamy, flavorful, and the variety was simple but can satisfy anyone's ice cream cravings! I ordered the best chocolate and honey cake. The honey taste was mild but sweet and it tasted closer to vanilla. The service was clean (they put gloves on when passing out samples) and efficient. There's even a little water station when you are done. Must try, especially since there aren't many places to go for dessert in this area!!!

I've seen Millie's in the city before so recently got an opportunity to stop in after dinner for a scoop of ice cream. The folks working were attentive and helped me try a few flavors before I decided. I chose their pumpkin pie ice cream and it was really good! Definitely will return! read more

Indoor and outdoor sitting Friendly and helpful staff Cute interior decor Ice cream has a great balance of sweet, salty, and creamy. Delicious chunks of pistachio and the flavor doesn't have that artificial tang that pistachio ice creams sometimes carry. Raspberry jam flavor isn't too sweet, and definitely has a fruity, tangy pop. read more

Thanks for your review, Kyung Jin K! We’ll talk to production about…
VERY yummy ice cream, I was genuinely impressed that it was actually dairy-free and gluten free! The store was clean and aesthetically pleasing. It seemed they had a decent variety, which is great to see! They offered 3 different dairy and gluten free options at this location, which was nice to see. The staff was friendly and welcomed me in. A bit pricey in my opinion, but I understand the target customers are the folks living downtown, who are able to afford it more regularly. For reference, it was $8 for this cup. read more

Their waffle cones are amazing and so delicious, and the ice cream never disappoints--every flavor I've tried has been fantastic. Definitely recommend it! It's a bit pricey though, like $7 for a scoop in a waffle cone, so it's definitely a once-in-a-while treat. read more

While walking around the streets of Pittsburgh, we came across this small but cute ice cream shop. Millie's had a variety of flavors with gluten free options. When it comes to ice cream, I love flavors that have toppings in them, and Millie's had flavors with a variety of toppings and chunks in them! I got the single of the backyard s'mores and cannoli flavors. The s'mores had chunks of chocolate and bits of graham crackers. Of the two flavors I tried, it was my favorite. It was creamy but not overwhelmingly sweet. The cannoli flavor had chocolate chunks, too, along with pistachio pieces and cannoli pieces, but it was not as creamy as the smore's flavor. The single size was perfect sizing for me and left me satisfied. I got my ice cream on a cone. They had three options for the cones: waffle cone, sugar cone, and gluten free cake. Overall, Millie's has a lot of great flavors, and I would definitely come back! read more

Hi Samantha! Thank you for stopping by our Market Square scoop shop…
If you're looking for delicious ice cream that's also dairy-free, look no further than this homemade ice cream shop in Market Square. The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating, and they have an amazing selection of flavors to choose from, even for those with dietary restrictions. I was blown away by how creamy and flavorful their dairy-free Mint Chip ice cream is. The texture is smooth and silky, just like traditional ice cream, and they offer flavors that are bold and delicious. I highly recommend trying their coconut milk-based options - they're some of the best I've ever tasted! 4 non dairy options Mint Chip Very Mango Brownie Batter Rocky ride The shop itself is charming and welcoming, and the location in Market Square makes it the perfect spot to grab a cone and enjoy a stroll around the city. Whether you're lactose intolerant or just looking for a tasty treat, this homemade ice cream shop is a must-visit. Five stars all around! read more

Nice little stop after our walk around Market Place in Pittsburgh. A cute little ice cream shop to fulfill my sweet tooth Walking into this shop the fresh homemade waffle cone aroma hit us and smelt amazing. They do offer samples to all the flavors including the 4 dairy free options they had. They offer bowls, fresh waffle cones, cake & sugar cones. Fast & patience with a first timer here at Millie's. The staff was friendly and even asked about our day which is rare coming from this area sometimes! Really enjoyed the ice cream on this nice sunny day today! Can't wait to visit again. read more
