  • I stopped by with CM at around 4pm this past Sat. for a frozen treat on the way back into the city after hiking South Park. Given that I'd tried and been favorably impressed with Betsy's ice cream at the Yelp Burgh Bash last Sept., and that I prefer to support locally-owned businesses (which can be challenging in the suburbs), I suggested that we pay Betsy's a visit. As usual, CM was game, so we headed into the business district of Mt. Lebanon for some ice cream. CM and I both got small cones ($3 each), which come with two scoops. They were out of the flavor he originally wanted (I forget which), so he had a scoop of the maple walnut and a scoop of the chocolate. As for me, I had a scoop of the Pittsburgh pride, which I'd tried at the Burgh Bash, and a scoop of the chocolate. The ice cream, which is made on site, was of very good quality (on par with Dave and Andy's, I'd say), and the flavors were delicious. However, as others have mentioned, I felt that the scoops were quite small--so much so that they fell into the waffle cones that we ordered for an extra $1 each (see photo). Part of the reason that it's standard for ice cream shops to upcharge for waffle cones, I believe, is that they require more ice cream than a sugar or cake cone to fill. Just to confirm that I wasn't being unreasonable, I checked the photos for Dave and Andy's, my go-to neighborhood ice cream shop, and indeed, their waffle cones are filled with ice cream, which rises above the cone. This is a hard review for me to write, since I felt that the quality of Betsy's ice cream was very good--exactly what I'd expect from a micro creamery. However, in light of the amount that I received in comparison to the amount that I've received at competitors, I felt that the value was weak. In retrospect, I'd preferred to have tried one of the artisan flavors (the strawberry balsalmic sounded interesting!) or the toppings bar for an upcharge instead of the waffle cone. I'd be willing to give Betsy's a second chance--if I do, I'll be sure to make one of those choices, and I'll update my review accordingly. For the present, however, 3.5 stars it is.
