What a cute little hideaway. I noticed Betsy's when I was coming out of Potomac Bakery. Despite the fact that I had just purchased some sweet treats, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to try a new (to me) ice cream place and I am so glad I did.
I crossed the street and walked into a blast from the past. The classic decor and chalkboard table tops immediately escorted me back to my childhood. And what a selection! There are the classic flavors and some really interesting new age flavors as well. Ever tried lemongrass ice cream? Me neither. But, they do have interesting artisan flavors for the bold ice cream adventurer. Not I. I went with the Pittsburgh pride. Cake batter, oreos, and brownies? Everything I love about ice cream rolled into one. Those two scoops barely lasted three minutes once I took the first bite. I'm not sure why some of the other reviews say that the ice cream is pricey. My two hearty scoops was $2.50. And they accepted a credit card for this small amount. No minimum. Which was great since I spent my cash at the bakery. Bottom line- LOVE this place. Can't wait to go back.
