It's Monday, the week has started and I need a little pick me up tonight because the past few…read moremonths have been hard for me. I don't know why, but I have always loved ice cream in the winter, but not the summer because Dairy and hot weather, for me, just don't mix well. This Illy Philly was in Robinson and saw Remember When Ice Cream and a little happiness started glowing inside me. I walked in to a well lit, and very large and open seating area. There were cute Ice Cream Cone measuring signs around the store, and it was really bright. I was greeted with a smile and a hello, and that made me smile a little more. I asked if they had vegan ice cream and lo and behold they did!!!!! It was Oatmilk vanilla and they also have Dole Whip!!! They told me the Whip always changes and this week it was Watermelon. Yummmm!!!! I ordered the Vegan Oatmilk Vanilla and the Watermelon Dole Whip, which she also let me taste first and both were absolutely delicous. I also ordered some regular Butter Pecan for my friend and it was really good. Creamy, buttery, and delicous. I Remember When Ice Cream tasted this good and obviously they do, too. If you're in Robinson go check them out. They're right across from Ikea and they're open till 9:30!!! Bring the kiddos, too and you all can get measured for the accurate size cone or order their 'Giant Cone' and enjoy!!!!

I have been looking for a place that offers soft serve ice cream that was close by. I was so…read moredelighted to see vegan options on the menu. Pro tip: they give out samples so if you are like me and can't decide go this route. I tried samples of the oat milk soft serve and the dole whip. I ended up getting the "kiddy" size of the dole whip in a dish and it was amazing. Hubby got twist soft serve and he loved it. Overall: They make their own ice cream They have both hard and soft varieties They have dairy free options- yay!! They serve Nicholas coffee

My only concern was that when I paid, the cashier automatically kept the change rather than offering it back. I was planning to leave a tip anyway, and I did, but I don't think tips should be assumed. I understand there may be a coin shortage, but the amount wasn't just a penny or two. Other than that, it was a nice visit.

There is a great variety of flavors and the staff will let you sample so you can make your choice. In addition to cones, they had milkshakes, sundaes, freezes and floats. Something for everyone! They also have a "kids" menu with smaller portions of cones and sundaes. Staff was friendly and helpful (my son was being incredibly indecisive and the clerk was patient and accommodating). There is a lot of quirky and fun decor. Overall, a great place to stop for a sweet treat!

Exceptional service and even better ice cream! I don't usually visit small ice cream shops because…read morethe quality can be hit or miss, but this place exceeded my expectations. I had a scoop of my favorite cookie dough ice cream on a cake cone, and it was perfect--the right balance of creamy texture and just the right amount of cookie dough pieces, unlike some places that skimp on mix-ins. My guests also enjoyed their ice cream, though one wasn't a fan of the dairy-free cookies and cream--not surprising since they had never tried a dairy-free option before and only ordered it because the regular version was sold out. Beyond the ice cream, the cozy ambiance made the experience even better. This is definitely a spot worth returning to!

The dirt flavor was super chocolatey with some oreo like chocolate pieces and the waffle wonder was a vanilla base with what appeared to be mini cocoa puffs and waffle pieces. The staff are very friendly and will let you sample flavors. They were busy before we went in and they were busy when we left. The space is small, but it's homey, for sure. I paid around $5 for two good sized scoops. I'll be back!

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!
