Betsy's has probably some of the best ice cream in town. Their homemade selections are very varied and always tasty. They have very interesting flavors that cannot be found elsewhere. Best of all, the prices are affordable unlike other "gourmet" ice cream shops. The only thing that I would complain about is their service. Service here is inconsistent; sometimes delivering spectacular service while other times it's not something to write home about. If you're in the neighborhood, you should definitely try this place out!

I love this place. They always have wonderful employees. They have some vegan options, as well! Everything I have ever gotten has been delicious. They have a wide variety of toppings and ice cream flavors to try.

Holy moly, this ice cream is amazing and made on-site. I could eat the creamsicle every. Damn. Day. The sugar cones are great. Kind of dirty feel on the inside, and there are struggles with napkins. The ice cream is good enough for that to not matter. The ladies behind the counter are always friendly!

This was the kids size scoop, before taking one bite. So shockingly small for 2.75. That's prior to the 25 cent card fee. The most disappointing ice cream experience ever.

Fun flavors (lavender raspberry is my favorite!) super nice staff, and as a bonus they call out anti-maskers to keep us all safe! So if you are wondering which businesses require their employees and customers to do their part to save lives during covid, Betsy’s gets an A+ for sure!

I wish I would've overcome my anxiety sooner. Due to the location of the shop being in a place that is utterly chaotic, lacks convenient parking, and only offers late weekday hours, I have strayed away. However, the time was now; I wanted to support them for having such substantial ownership, caring for their employees and customers.
It was well worth the stress getting there. They have a wonderful array of flavors to choose from, and they offer sundaes, as well as other assorted menu items. I always go for as unique as possible when I visit shops such as these, so I went for the strawberry

Our family's go-to for ice cream and sorbet! I love the sorbet in a sugar cone. So many options for every taste bud. It's a great family friendly environment. Friendly staff!

We always have great service and ice cream at Betsy’s! Love this local gem. The ice cream is homemade and creative. The Pittsburgh Pride will always be a favorite. And thank you for enforcing masking / required rules during this crazy time. Can’t wait to visit again!

Stumble upon this place on my afternoon stroll in the area. Intended to get their ice-cream and quickly changed my mind when I saw their float menu! Ordered their Jamaican Me Crazy & Coconut Mojito! I love it! Definitely coming back for more! Their ice-cream menu is very reasonable compared to other ice-cream places that I've been.

I can't believe I've never been here and it's in my own back yard!! I guess because we're big fans of Scoops which is closer.

We went today and all I can say is yummy! I had the Pittsburgh special...not really sure what they call it but it had crushed Oreos, fudge and a bunch of stuff I can't remember. The ice cream itself was kinda orange yellow (perhaps Pittsbugh gold?). OMG it was soooo good!

Hubs got the cookie dough and said it was amazing as well.

Too bad you can't sit inside right now (stupid Covid). The tables are fun with chalk tops for playing games

Did an Uber Eats order from here because we wanted something chocolate and didn't want to go to the store.

We each got a chocolate shake...talk about hitting the spot.

The flavor was perfect it had a richness without being too rich. The serving size was a little smaller than expected, but that won't stop me from checking this place out again in the future. Prices seemed fair compared to the big name chains.

We went to Betsy's and the next time we came to Pittsburgh in summer we decided to go, but they were closed for a week... Anyways, I think Pittsburgh Pride is the best, and it's so cool because it has steelers colors and really yummy stuff put into the icecream.

My ice cream cone was filled with ice cream with no leak. Also friendly staff with fun chalks to use to draw on the tables.

Three stars, my ice cream was awesome (and always is, ive been here many times).

My girlfriend is dairy free; and ordered the toasted coconut vegan ice cream. It was inedible. Even the cashier as she handed it over apologized for how flaky, crumbly and dry it was (think shaved frozen coffee). It went straight in the trash.


Sucks because we came specifically for their vegan options. If you are dairy free I don't recommend coming out.

I have been here on two occasions so far. The first time I would definitely give 5 stars. The vegan chocolate ice cream was so delicious and creamy! The next time, they had vegan chocolate listed, but after waiting in line for ten minutes we got up to order and she said they were out. A little bit annoying because we would not have waited if they would have simply erased it from the board. So this time, I tried their sorbet, it was not really even tasty. I didn't even finish the one scoop because it was just wasted calories at that point! I hope next time we stop by they have more vegan friendly

It's good enough ice cream that I can't really complain---Mexican Chocolate has, for example, full-flavored chocolate and a nice subtle spicy kick, and it's fully satisfying. For those of you from the East End, it's more conservative, in the same way as Dave and Andy's. It isn't mind-bogglingly exceptional in the way hipster places in Chicago are, but it's a solid local ice cream place.

Great, gourmet ice cream shop! They always have a good mix of traditional flavors and unique ones, which they do a good job of rotating frequently. The ice cream is rich, flavorful, and the perfect treat on a warm summer evening!

Betsy's is a local gem. The icecream is so creamy and thick and flavorful. The milkshakes are also a hit.
My favorite flavors are:
Pittsburgh Pride
Blueberry cheesecake (always get it if it's there)
Lemon Rosewater (surprisingly good, the rosewater is not strong at all and makes for a refreshing scoop)
Salted Caramel
Lavender Raspberry (again, surprisingly good and not overpowering with the lavender - worth a taste)

I crave Betsy's even in the coldest winter day. That's how tasty it is!

Ice cream - five stars.
Everything else - two stars.

I had vanilla and mint mayhem and they were lovely! The flavors rotate and the ice cream is made in house - awesome.

The cons: tough parking, setup is confusing, signage is hard to read, staff isn't very friendly. It could be a really cool place, the foundation of a great product is there, for sure. But I couldn't read some of the signs, I didn't know how much anything cost, there is some kind of unlimited self serve topping bar but I didn't know it existed until after I had already ordered.

The ice cream is REALLY

My new favorite ice cream shop! I live in Dormont and this place is close and convenient. Their ice cream is all home made and every flavor I've tried has been delicious. And I can get 2 scoops for $4 including tip which to me seems like a bargain for the quality.

This is the first time I have tried Betsy's. I was craving ice cream and decided to check out who would deliver on uber eats. They do, yay! I ordered the edible chocolate chip cookie dough and the Pittsburgh pride ice cream (cake batter, brownies, and Oreos). Omg so so so good!!! I can't wait to try more of their cake batters and ice cream again sometime.

Congratulations to Betsy's ice cream on 5 wonderful years of serving the community! It is opening day and I wanted to treat my hubby to this great little shop in the heart of Mt. Lebanon. I met up with Ryan the business owner who told me about some of their plans for the future.

They still carry farm sourced all natural ice creams including our hometown favorite Pittsburgh Pride which is black and gold ice cream with chocolate chips and some cookies in it. Among the new flavors are salted caramel. The fixings bar is still there for $1.75 where you can get unlimited toppings for your cone

Wow did this ice cream hit the spot! I stopped at Dairy Queen to get my friend some chocolate soft serve, but they did not have any (I know). Betsy's does not have soft serve, but they do have a fancy double chocolate chip ice cream that filled the bill.

After the girl behind the counter loaded on some sprinkles, I had to choose my flavor! I tried a sample of lavender raspberry, which was a fascinating flavor. It wasn't a flavor I could eat a whole dish of, but it was super unique and fun. When I could not decide, she recommended the salted caramel. I loved it! All of the ice
