The Revolution is ICE CREAM

Forget Ben & Jerry’s, Pittsburgh’s got Dave & Andy’s!

Located in the heart of Oakland this mom and pop shoppe has got it all. Ice cream, pops, floats... any kind of ice cream mixture you could dream about.

I encountered this delectable place when I was up in Oakland with the friends to visit the Carnegie Art Museum. After we hit The "O" (from the last post!) we scoured the streets for ice cream. We thought it would be the perfect treat to end this hot day.

Low and behold we found Dave & Andy's, an old style ice cream place where ice cream reigns supreme. They have flavors from vanilla to apple pie.

When I was there I tried their root beer float (you can actually have several kinds of floats). A large cup of any flavor ice cream you want (I chose vanilla) filled with IBC Root Beer. Wow, all I can say is I fell in love, with the float, ice cream AND IBC root beer.

You can also get cones: homemade waffle cones (with an M&M at the bottom!) or sugar and cake cones. One scoop or two... Dave & Andy's serves up service with a smile (and the best ice cream in the city).

Floats cost $3.64

Waffle cones - single scoops are $3.27 and doubles are $4.30

Sugar/Cake cones - single scoops are $2.34 and doubles are $3.46

The only thing I should warn you about is seating is minimal, inside and out. But the ice cream is so good you'll want to walk around and show it off.

Located on 207 Atwood Street, you cannot beat Dave & Andy's.
