tasty creme

I keep giving this place a try once a year bc everyone around here loves it, i don't get it. They don't try to improve the place, it's expensive for a run down ice cream shack and I always feel jipped. For a $4 sundae with less than a proper scoop of soft serve, they could at least fill the cup but they don't.

I visited Tasty Creme, deep in South Park, with my family after a game of mini-golf at nearby Sunset Golf (which is the best mini-golf in Pittsburgh, but that's another review) and dinner at the Trolley Stop Inn. Tasty Creme was a great cap to the day.The exterior of the shop is outdated and dirty, perhaps prompting you to question your choice. However, the inside, while small, is pleasant and clean. Tasty Creme has all of your typical soft serve shop staples, cones, milkshakes, sundaes, and freezes. I had a small "Almond Joy" freeze which was vanilla ice cream, coconut, chocolate pieces, and almond pieces mixed together, which was quite... tasty. I did enjoy that they created the experience of an Almond Joy without using the actual candy bar, kind of whimsical, you know? I was also given the choice of using chocolate ice cream or a twist for the freeze, which blew my mind. I suppose other shops will do this, but it's never been offered to me. Next time, perhaps. Their vanilla soft serve is good, well-textured and sweet. It was also a reasonable size- a small at many shops isn't actually all that small.I had a sip of my wife's vanilla milkshake, which was solid. My parents enjoyed their ice cream cones- my mom had a vanilla twist with Dole pineapple, which is fairly unique around here. The staff was friendly and quick, dealing with a steady stream of customers coming in and out. FYI, there's no seating in or outside of the shop- best to enjoy your ice cream in your car (otherwise you'll just be standing in the parking lot like a goofball).If you're deep in South Park and in the mood for quality soft serve, give Tasty Creme a shot!

Eh...i always thought this place was pretty lame when it comes to ice cream... But gen x loves thier crunchy stuff.. I usually don't even review ice cream places, but i had to after the one night.. So they are open till ten.. we are there at 9:31, car full of people and 3 other cars pull up.. The employees then locked us out.... The open signs still on, a couple came out, and said the staff seemed to be rushing them out and seemed angry.. Very lame, so they refused 5-8 customers...

I'm not from this area and stopped today on a whim as I was driving past. I had a hot fudge Sunday and OMG was it good. Best I've ever had!!!! Service was fast and friendly. Keep up the good work. I will be back next year for sure!

Sooo good since childhood , now I take my kids and they love it!! Old school , cash only establishment but a great summertime treat every time ... they never disappoint and definitely taste the difference from the major ice cream chains..
