| - I came back here after the Tar and Feather party at Wigle Whiskey last night with a friend. I'd been meaning to visit Klavon's again since it'd been a year since I'd last visited, so I suggested it, and my friend, who'd never been before, was game.
I usually order a soda or float when I'm here, since this is the only place in PGH I know that makes them. However, most of the flavors were fruity, and I was in the mood for some chocolate, so I decided to go with a sundae instead. I ordered a regular sized peanut butter M & M sundae, which the woman serving me (who I assume is the proprietor) described as consisting of two regular sized scoops of ice cream. It was huge! The ice cream was vanilla with streaks of peanut butter, and the sundae had warm peanut butter and M & M pieces spooned into it. The ice cream was very creamy and delicious, and there were no problems with freezer burns this time. Overall, the sundae was great, if not quite what I was expecting. Other than the M & M's, it lacked chocolate (I had assumed that the ice cream would be chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls), which was disappointing since I was looking for more of a chocolate peanut butter combo. However, to be fair, this was more of an expectation issue on my part since the description of the sundae didn't say anything about chocolate ice cream or fudge, so I can't blame the proprietor for this. Word to the wise: If you're seeking more chocolate, you may want to have them add some hot fudge!
My friend ordered the orange creamsicle ice cream soda, which consisted of vanilla ice cream and orange soda, and she enjoyed it very much. The only thing slightly amiss with it was that when she first started sipping it, the ice cream shifted, causing the soda to fizz up and overflow the mug. Since I'd been wanting to try this flavor, I asked her if I could have a sip and she obliged. The flavor was very good, and I'd definitely order it when I return.
Service was friendly, if a bit slow. The current owner has done a great job of maintaining the decor, down to the penny candy (I saw it this time!) and phone booths. The only thing conspicuously missing is the scale, which I assume the original owner's family kept as a personal keepsake--but this is probably a good thing for dieters who'd rather not be reminded of their indulgence (ahem, cough, cough). My friend really enjoyed the atmosphere, and said she'll definitely be back soon. Despite trying to lose weight, I'm sure I will, too! 4.5 stars.
