Leona’s Ice Cream

So the ice cream is good. BUTThis location is a mess. The service isn't anything consistent. You wait at the outside window and they ignore you, so you go inside. Then you get in the line "to go" only to find that it isn't really a "to go" line so you have to wait in the scoop line. Then you wait for 10minutes only to see them decide to take orders from the window you were at 15 minutes ago. Needless to say, you're now holding an overpriced ice cream sandwich that is melting and still have another 10 minutes to wait to pay. Not worth it. It's good, but not for the cost and the wait. Sorry.

New Leona's scoop shop in the heart of Lawrenceville! The shop is located within Lawrence Hall. It is the perfect size for a scoop shop. I'm so excited because the ice cream is 100% lactose free and made from 100% real dairy. The flavors are delicious and artisanal, rotating every now and then. I got the cinnamon scoop on a gluten free cone. It tasted exactly like cinnamon toast crunch cereal without the cereal!! Very impressed by the quality of ingredients. There are ice cream sandwiches available in the freezer and plenty of flavors to choose from. The staff is friendly and offer flavor samples! Pricing is high for ice cream. Currently one scoop is $6+, and additional scoops are $3. The GF cone was an extra fee as well. Parking can be difficult. Mostly paid or residential street parking available. Lawrence Hall is a chic space to hang out and grab a meal, drinks or dessert!! Looking forward to trying all the Hall has to offer. tldrFood 5/5Service 5/5Ambiance 4/5

Really friendly staff. I got the strawberry meadow ice cream with oat lace topping. The oat lace topping was buttery tasting and a great add. The ice cream quality was very very good. Wished for just a little stronger strawberry flavor but it was solid.

Love the Leona's scoop shop! The cookies are good and all, but tbh I was always here for the ice cream I'm a pumpkin girly, so I had to stop and pick up some of the seasonal pumpkin caramel flavor and it was out of this world! Definitely don't miss this fall flavor while it's available

Leona's Ice Cream is incredible. They can be found in a variety of different places such as Giant Eagle Market Districts, Local Pittsburgh Restaurants, Breweries and Farmers Markets. The have a storefront inside of Lawrence Hall as well. They make all their ice cream with real dairy, but it is all lactose free. Known for their incredible combination of flavors with their ice cream cookies, but also thriving in the pint world and in their new, brick and mortar- go on in and grab a scoop! I am a sucker for their ice cream sandwiches- each is made with a giant ice cream slice in the middle and a creamy, crunchy cookie on either side. My favorite combo is the Strawberry Pretzel Salad. A pretzel cookie- sweet and salty with a vanilla ice cream with swirls of homemade strawberry compote... WOW! The owners are amazing and so friendly. They take a true passion in what they produce, and it really shows. I can't wait to check out all their new fall seasonal flavors soon!

Leona's! Wow!! I ordered a scoop of Ube on a cone, it was FABULOUS!! The flavor was so rich, without being overly sweet. I expected it to taste more tropical, but it definitely gave ~rich vanilla~ vibes. The staff there was so excited to share their different flavors with me, offered to sample any of them that I wanted. Service was really quick, too. 10/10 recommend.
