NatuRoll brings the hot new trend of rolled ice cream right to trendy Lawrenceville. Make a trip out of it and check out Leaning Cask Brewery while you're there. Glen's Frozen Custard is located at 400 Pittsburgh Street in Springdale. But there was one thing all the flavors had in common: they were delicious! Our dog, Tamale, also gave two paws up to the vanilla custard. The gourmet flavors were denser and tasted more like traditional ice cream. The texture and flavor of the two different types of custards was very apparent- the traditional flavors were incredibly smooth, rich, and ultra creamy. On our visit we tried the vanilla and peach traditional custards, as well as the black cherry and caramel cookie dough custards. They also serve a handful of fancy custard flavor options like black cherry, caramel cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, and espresso bean, just to name a few. Their traditional custard flavor options include chocolate, vanilla, and a flavor of the day which on our visit was peach. Besides custard, they have sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream sandwiches, sherbet, and even custard pints and quarts to go. 28 in Springdale, Glen's Frozen Custard is one of the only places in the Pittsburgh area that serves this creamy cousin of ice cream. The two closest Handel's locations to downtown Pittsburgh are in McCandless and West Mifflin. And with over 50 flavors ranging from inventive Blueberry Cobbler and Spouse Like a House (malted vanilla with chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels), to traditional Chocolate or Strawberry, you're sure to find something you like.Īlthough they have 38 stores across the country, Handel's was started in Youngstown, Ohio, just an hour away from Pittsburgh. In general, the texture of Handel's ice creams is superb. Just beware of the chocolate mustache that this ice cream leaves around your mouth! It's seriously creamy, rich, and actually tastes like real chocolate. I don't even normally like chocolate flavored ice creams because they generally taste “fake” to me, but this chocolate ice cream is no joke. We were first introduced to Handel's by a friend, and she recommended chocolate raspberry truffle the same way we would recommend chocolate raspberry truffle- by forcing us to get it.Įven though the menu contains over 50 flavors, it is now impossible for us to visit Handel's without getting chocolate raspberry truffle.
