Betsy's Ice Cream

Is Betsy's closed? I stopped by today for an ice cream cone, after I ate a jade grill, and there were no signs the door was closed. It was dark inside so I don't know. Are they just closed on Mondays or has Betsy's closed for good?Please let me know.

We decided to save room for dessert after dinner next door at Sesame Inn, and unfortunately, Betsy's left much to be desired. The flavors were different, and they were out of chocolate (to the chagrin of the 3 little ones with us). I ended up trying the banana ice cream which was fine but tasted very artificial. The others with us got peanut butter sundaes and said the peanut butter tasted like it was out of a jar. Also, the teenage boys working behind the counter were not very friendly or helpful. The positives: the prices were good and they did have one dairy-free option

We visited Betsy's Ice Cream as a result of Visit PA's 2023 Scooped Ice Cream Trail. It was the 3rd place we have been to this summer. The variety of flavors, in my opinion, were for a more mature palate than the three rugrats I brought with me. The portions were generous. The prices were very reasonable. A public parking lot is less than a block away. I would come back again without my chicken finger and fries group to enjoy some of the other offerings.

Pros: Super cute place for ice cream, they have so many different flavors which made super fun for us. I can't recall all the odd flavoring but the one we did get was something Pittsburgh since we were in Pittsburgh visiting and it was perfect (dark chocolate pieces in chocolate) and we also selected something blue (forgot the name of it) - my daughter liked it.. And we had chocolate with marshmallows.. also very good.They will let you try then also before getting.Another fun part is, afterwards we went on a short walk down the street, some really cute shops, coffee place.. just a very chill vibe neighborhood (so come before 5 though since everything is closed shops wise- coffee place was still open, along with a couple of other restaurants).. Meter parking - 50 cents per hour before 5pm, free after 5pm... we were looking for an ice cream store and just happened to come across this place after going to another one that was closed.. a fun random discovery and fun random area we haven't ever been.Cons: they don't take bills bigger than a $50... the only day I had $100 bill

Excellent products and service This is our go to place in Pittsburgh's South HillsWonderful staffExcellent assortment of flavors !EconomicalMany places to be seated and enjoy the olde bygone - respectful conversation

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.

What sets Betsy's apart from other ice creameries is attention to detail. Betsy's encapsulates the spirit of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh Pride. It's dark, alluring and will break your heart (when it's sold out).

Generous portion sizes and friendly staff. The topping bar is the best part! The restaurant is very clean and has a nice vibe to it. The flavors change almost daily so there is always something new to try.

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.
