Millie's Homemade Ice Cream: Reviews & Ratings
Staff was SO kind! more than happy to let me try multiple flavors and ask all sorts of questions about how the ice creams are made. They went as far as to check the recipe book just cause I had questions as a professional baker myself about how they got a specific flavor! Multiple flavors were good enough to order, and I was actually impressed with the variety. I am often tired of the options at ice cream places, Millie's has interesting and new flavors!!
I got chocolate chip cookie dough & brownie batter ice cream with marshmallows, cone pieces, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. I always love cookie dough ice cream but the brownie batter ice cream was wayyy too rich and tasted more like dark chocolate. It was okay but not my favorite, I ended up having to ask my siblings to eat some of it. We sat on the back patio which was cute at night with all of the lights!
Quite pricey nowadays for ice cream. The ice cream was a little sweeter than I'd like but I love the fact that they have lots of dietary restriction options.
The cookie dough ice cream here is amazing. While it may seem like a basic option, the ice cream has an almond or cake batter flavor to it that I enjoy. The staff is here is always super friendly as well.
My brother just moved into an apartment super close to Millie's, so we couldn't resist going - I'm sure we will be back many times based on this experience! The homemade ice cream is excellent. Super creamy and not supermarket-y at all. Love how there's enough variety and uniqueness among the flavor options while still keeping things simple and straightforward. Loved it here! 5/5
This was my go to dessert spot throughout my grad school days when craving a sugar high, it was only fair i came back to it on my trip back to town. The inside is somewhat oldschool with white rectangular tiles alongwith red exposed bricks. They had fun merchandise on sale too, but hey I aint looking else where when im in the mood for some ice cream. We wanted to to be sure we got the best flavors, so we asked for tasters and the server obliged. He helped us decide what we should get and we finally decided on lavendar and chocolate. The. We were confused if we should get a waffle cone or a cup, so he just gave us a crushed waffle cone in a cup. Shoutout to him for making it perfect for us. They have many new locations now but this were I would always go for nostalgia!
I love ice creams, so while we were in Pittsburg, I had to try Millie's ice creams. I love how cute it looks both outside and inside the store. The guy behind the counter was very sweet and helpful in picking out our flavours of choice. We ended up getting brownie batter and Lavender Lemon Ripple in a cup, with crushed waffle bits on top. The brownie batter was rich and creamy, and exactly what you'd want from a flavour like that. While the lavender lemon ripple tasted fresh and fruity in comparison. We liked to pair the two and eat them together. But the store also offers other amazing flavours, and I would definitely recommend.
A. MUST. STOP. in Pittsburgh. I have only been to this particular location because of its proximity to Squirrel Hill, but they do have a few locations spread out in Pittsburgh. I had Millie's even when it was snowing. I stop by Millie's every time I visited Pittsburgh. Lactose intolerance never stopped me. I have my Lactaid pill ready to go, but Millie's has Lactaid pills ready for you near the register incase you forget. My favorite flavors are cookie dough and pistachio. I had their olive oil flavor and it was surprisingly good too!
I'm lactose intolerant and risked it all for Millie's- it was worth it. If you're lack toast and toddler aunts- you should totally risk it too. I actually got ice cream from their super cute ice cream truck- so I can't rate this exact establishment- but the ice cream tastes the same I'm sure, and I can't rate a food truck so this is what everyone gets! I tried their pumpkin pie flavor with the crushed waffle cone topping. It was very tasty. Felt just like being at Thanksgiving dinner minus the politics Would absolutely risk it all for Millie's again
