Ready or not, here it comes. The sweltering heat of summer is at our heels. And, that means we’ve got to find every way we can to stay cool — hunkering down in the AC, escaping to the nearest pool or water park, drinking lots of water, and indulging in plenty of ice cream. With all of its ice cream shops, Pittsburgh’s an ice cream lover’s dream. And, for really generous portions (read: enormous), head straight to this ice cream shop near Pittsburgh.
Indulge in a Pittsburgh original: Sarris chocolate and ice cream.
Tucked right in the popular candy store, Sarris Candies Ice Cream Parlour promises an old-fashioned experience and enormous portions on all of their ice cream treats.
So, step right up to the counter to browse the scrumptious menu that boasts all of the old-time favorites, including ice cream floats, ice cream sodas, and creamy milkshakes.
Of course, you'll have your choice of an impressive selection ice cream flavors. Do you prefer the traditional flavors — French vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and chocolate chip?
Then, you've got to decide how to have your ice cream. Cup? Waffle cone? Cake or sugar cone? Or, treat yourself to a Sarris Specialty, such as the Candyman's Dream. Indulge in two scoops of chocolate ice cream topped with maple walnuts, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry.
