OH MAN. So first and foremost…the people who work here are absolutely amazing. They are so warm and friendly, my husband and I felt right at home! And of course…the ice cream was AMAZING. I got peanut butter and my husband got banana. It was SO good!! We both ordered a small and when we saw it we genuinely did not think we would finish. WRONG. Delicious!! Will definitely be back.
Classy, Clean, and Confident!What a creative twist to the ice cream experience!!They have everything you would every want, and everything is made with dedicated passion that leaves customers never wanting to go anywhere else.The owner works here and that makes a big difference when it comes to the high standard that is set for the quality of the ice cream and the experience.10/10 would recommend!
Soooooo delicious and the staff are amazing!!!! I cannot remember the name of the young gentleman who served us the last time we were there (so sorry bc I asked) and he was very excited to tell us the nitrogen process and answer all of our questions that he probably gets asks constantly. This place always satisfies our craving for amazing ice cream and we love the it is woman owned and welcoming to ALL!!!!
Great ice cream and great service. They explain everything they do and also let you make a personalized ice cream from scratch. The prices are decent as well. Would definitely recommend for people of all ages.
First off, the ice cream was absolutely delicious. I cant wait to go back. What made everything over the top though was the friendly staff. Everyone was hustling and working hard and very nice and friendly. They helped us creating our orders and even gave us information on how things are made there.
Went here a couple of Fridays ago, and wow: what great customer service! The people there couldnt have been friendlier, and someone was even explaining the (rather complex) menu to people who were new.As far as the ice cream goes, I really like the strong variety of options available. My friends got normal ice cream, but being on a fitness regimen, I got the yogurt with one of their signature desserts instead of ice cream without any hangups. The total caloric content probably worked out to like 300-400 calories, with much more protein and much less fat & sugar than the ice cream.On another important note, I really like that there isnt a huge line most nights. Theres always a bit of a line (people are always busy), but Im not waiting 30-40 minutes just to say I went to Millies to signal on social media or something like that. I just want good ice cream or yogurt, and Sub Zeros Shadyside location delivers that in spades. Plus, the prices are very reasonable, given the large portions we can expect!
This place is fantastic and Connor is a F@ck1ng amazing employee, he doled out information to the guests in line chirping replies to their questions cheerfully. (All the employees I have dealt with here are great he just stood out). The Icecream is great, it’s something new and frankly I enjoy it being made while I watch. Millies and milkshake factory are nice and all, but subzero does something special. 5stars
This place is such an experience. Love that youre able to customize your order and watch them make it. Its also great that you can get vegan, lactose free, low fat or regular ice cream.This location is one of the best the sales associates are soooo friendly.I recommend this place 🍦 😋
The Ice cream is made fresh. Like to try the different creations officers while also creating my own. Love the Banana Cream Pie flavor as well as vanilla with cherries. The customer Service is absolutely the best. The attention to customer service is greatly appreciated.
A simple stop after going to the park with our daughter. Great service from the staff and overall great experience from them making my girlfriends ice cream and making my milkshake. The selection is also big for the amount of stuff you can add to your treats. I like the card that you get to be able to chose exactly what you would like it’s a big help also when having children with you to occupy them. Would recommend to anyone
Visiting from out of town and out for a walk, I stumbled upon this place. Service was warm and friendly, and explained the whole experience and process. The worst part is having to decide between all of the flavors, mixins and toppings. I settled on coffee heath with butterscotch. The show in making the treat was fun to watch, and the local neighborhood ambiance completed the package. Definitely give this place a try.
Besides the delicious ice cream, my experience was divine because of charismatic employee Conor Joyce. This High School baseball superstar not only rakes at the baseball plate but also at the milkshake plate. He even let me get a free autograph for when he goes pro.
This ice cream be good. Them people that work there is nice you feel me! The best in the burg no cap.- Filthy Kevin
Yummy!I ❤ ice cream! You might call me an aficionado (I keep an ice cream tastings journal).Sub Zero earned a rare 5 🍨 rating for their delicious ice cream, the high level of customizations (way beyond simple toppings!!), their novel concept, and their friendly, flexible staff.When we arrived, we were immediately informed that their card reader was down and we would have to pay in cash or agree to have our card info written down to be run at a later time/date. We chose to pay cash.We proceeded to order by filling out their reusable order cards. There were so many choices! You can choose old school ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen custard, some vegan ice cream wannabe, sorbet... Im cant begin to remember every option, so Ill just stick to what I ordered. I chose the old school ice cream, it being my favorite, and picked flavors reminiscent of a Mexican Mocha: chocolate, cinnamon, and coffee. I then chose chocolate shavings and Graham cracker crumbs from an extensive list of add-ins. I forgot to mark down that I wanted whipped cream on top, but the servers were happy to add it at the end. I ordered a small, since wed just finished dinner.Once all that was done, Bridget and Lacey made my ice cream right in front of me! Much to my delight, it did taste just like a Mexican Mocha and made the perfect after-dinner treat. The small was about 4 scoops anywhere else and I couldnt finish it despite my best effort. It was delicious!If the owner of this establishment ever wants to branch out or franchise, I have to lobby for Eugene, Oregon (and wider doors, because Ill need them if this comes to my town!). Thank you, Bridget and Lacey!
Subzero not only has incredible ice cream and milkshakes, but even better people. Specifically Connor Joyce, a charismatic employee who is full of joy! If he’s making your dessert, you know it’s about to slap!
Kay and Bridget are awesome!! Went the extra mile to explain everything. Ice cream is amazing. Tons of zero sugar options and so many customization options. Will definitely come again.
Its a cool (yeah) place where they make the ice cream as you watch. Unfortunately its made from artificial flavors and not that good. Also expensive. And it takes a long time before you get the ice cream and they dont have a nice seating. But you can choose to get your ice almost anyway you want.
Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Got it delivered on Grubhub and it kept cold, not melted at all with a 15-20 minute commute. Loved it!
The staff are very kind and explain things thoroughly. The process is really interesting and makes the ice cream more creamy and delicious. I also recommend bringing kids here! They will freak over the vapor and think it is magic haha. And also to learn about the liquid nitrogen.
I tried this place out for the first time after walking past it for a while, and the ice cream was really good. The woman who was making the ice cream (I think she was the owner) was very friendly and gave recommendations on the different options they had. Extremely creamy ice cream and very fresh!
Really good. You can fully customize your ice cream, milkshake, or icy. The employees are super nice, Kay is my favorite!
Best ice cream place in Pittsburgh by far, the staff is incredibly friendly and teaches the customers the process of making ice cream. Kids will love this place because of the fun environment and that it makes them feel like they are in a science lab. Awesome place!
We always go to Sub Zero in Shadyside when we want the BEST ice cream available. We have taken family and friends there and have always been treated like the only customers in the store, no matter how busy they were. You can ask for any kind of ice cream combos and they can do it….remarkable. Give yourself a treat and visit them soon.
Amazing Ice Cream with an Amazing family who owns it! We have used SubZero for events and also just to take my family to! You won’t be disappointed 💜
Amazing and friendly staff! Always clean and organized. By far my favorite ice cream shop in Pittsburgh! We love how endless the options are, and how creative you can get!
This place is amazing!! The ice cream is so creamy and delicious! They definitely give millies some good competition! They have so many options! Will probably never eat millies again after eating this! The prices are amazing plus the portions are huge!! Love this place!!
Loved Sub zero ice cream! I got the Birthday cake capacitor and my husband had the Strawberry cheesecake blend and all I can say is WOW! Best ice cream Ive had. Will definitely be back again.
I used to eat Millies all the time, but I tried subzero yesterday and I like it a lot more than Millies. They allow you to create your own ice cream with multiple flavors and mix ins. Also, they make the fresh ice cream right in front of you. The whole experience is very good overall and I would recommend you try it.
Best ice cream place!! the ice cream is so fresh and creamy. the customers service is amazing. 10/10 recommend.
The ice cream was very good and the service was better. The nitro was also neat.
The strength of this place is the fact that (duh) they make your ice cream from scratch with liquid nitrogen. This results in the creamiest, freshest, ice crystal free ice cream youve probably ever had. The process also enables incredible customization for your ice cream, from what type of cream base you use to the flavors of the cream to the mix-ins themselves.Unfortunately, their flavors are a bit hit-or-miss in quality, and their mix-ins are generally generic grocery store items (i.e., not particularly high quality and certainly not homemade).Still, that second paragraph disclaimer doesnt really detract from the overall experience, because the ice cream quality itself is outstanding.
Ice Cream and a show! Ice cream was as great as getting to watch it being made, right before my eyes! Amazing and fun concept!
Amazing staff truly makes for an amazing experience! Definitely will be returning! My new favorite ice cream shop!
My husband got the peanut butter bonds sensation and it was delicious! It was mixed with Reeses, brownie bites, and peanut butter then topped with hot fudge. We would get this again!!I got a fruit smoothie! Its nice because you have the option of having them make a more natural fruit smoothie or making it sweeter, you just have to let them know.
Ive been there twice now and will be going again! The options are endless and I want to try everything!! Service is great, the place is clean, and the owner is such a sweetheart!
Definitely the best ice cream in Shadyside, it blows Millies out of the water! Its a fun experience watching The science happen and feeling the cool nitrogen blowing at you during the process. On top of that the ice cream is super creamy after a few minutes of well.. warming up? Blowing out nitrogen like a dragon is another experience worth trying.Great experience, fun environment, tons of options and its absolutely delicious!
9/7/2021 first visit, staff was friendly and helpful. Ice cream was great!
It was ok. Wasnt really mixed well enough but still ok. Decent prices. Worth a try.
This place is pretty amazing in terms of the quality of the product and the sheer variety of options you can select from. The have something for everyone here and you could spend an hour just trying to decide what to order.I went with straight custard with cinnamon and it was excellent. Even though they are making each batch by hand the service was still pretty fast and the end result not only tasted good but it had an extremely smooth mouth feel which I enjoyed.The staff was very friendly and guided us through as it was my families first time. Prices are fair for a hand crafted product and they are opened late which is great for days like today where he sun sets at 8:54pmWe will definitely repeat
Ice cream made how you want with a copious amount of flavorings and toppings to make wild combinations with. Its a really great experience watching how they make the ice cream, using liquid nitrogen to freeze the cream and flavorings. Its worth if not just to watch them make it. With friendly service too. I highly recommend trying it out.
I learned so much about nitrogen thanks to Bridget and Kay at the highland Ave location. Please come here and tip them well!
Really really cool experience and great ice cream and Italian ice
Best ice cream and it’s so cool to watch them make it!!
Good ice cream. Warning: the regular size is HUGE.
Connor made us 3 delicious treats! All while making our items he explained and showed us the process
Best ice cream i’ve had plus the staff is great! :)
Best ice cream around !!!! They make nitrous ice cream look so cool and fun. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The amount of choice are endless. If you like things your way this is the place for you!!! Highly recommend!!! 10/10 for sure !!!
Bridgets did fantastic with helping me place an online order!
Great employees, great ice cream, great experience!🍦
Absolutely awesome! Our favorite ice cream place!
Great place and Great people! Give it a try
This place is awesome. Just went for the first time and if you like ice cream this place is entirely decadent in the best way.I had the brulee(the number 3) and my girlfriend did a custom order. I got a large which was huuuuuuuge. But it was so good 90% of it was in my tummy by the time we made it home (which is like a 2 mile drive).The owner talked to us and was super nice and told us a lot about her shop. This was the perfect nightcap to a nice dinner.Definitely coming back.
Really cool experience and very informative staff.
The service was great and the ice cream was delicious!
Love seeing what I ordered be frozen.
I called in our order, so sadly I did not get to watch them make it. We ordered 4 different menu items and they were all outstanding!Service was excellent, our order was packed with care. We all got smalls and were impressed with the portion size. We will definitely be back again.Take care!
My favorite place to go rather if its with my Kids or my Mom or date night with my husband. The 2 Ladies that own it are always there if not both of them they are hands on with training. It Great to watch the nitro turn the cream into ice cream. But the best part is you can create or concoct any flavor imaginable. You get more than great conversation for the 2 minutes you be in line. EXCEPTIONAL
If you havent been to Sub-Zero yet .. youre letting your taste buds down you care for a real good ice cream or milkshake stop on by and give them a try you wont be disappointed
Stopped in yesterday. Very friendly service and the ice cream was delicious! So creamy! I had some banana ice cream with cheesecake bites in it. Best ice cream I’ve ever had. My son had a pineapple milkshake. It was also very delicious. I love how the sky is the limit as far as making your own special ice cream concoction!😋 Can’t wait to try something new next time.
Pretty good ice cream shop. You get a lot of options to customize your ice cream and then its made on-site with the liquid nitrogen. The end result was very tasty and creamy and pricing seemed appropriate for the portion sizes.My only complaint was the wait time was pretty long for the ice cream. Although it may have been longer due to the shop only recently opening and a person in front of us had a very large order. We will have to give it another shot to see if wait times are better.
Always love sub zero!!!
The staff was really nice to me, and the ice cream came out great. This is my new go to place for ice cream
Absolutely fantastic! The staff is so welcoming and friendly, and the ice cream is absolutely delicious! My girlfriend has lots of food allergies, and besides offering many allergy-friendly alternatives, they went out of their way to accommodate her and make sure both of us were happy! Will be returning quite frequently and highly recommend!
Loved the texture of the ice cream. We could choose as many flavors to mix as we wanted.They even offered to redo the ice cream if we didnt like the flavors we chose. (But we did like the flavors!) Really friendly staff.(Their menu also has an optional treat for your doggo 🐶)
This place raised the bar pretty high for any ice cream. Highly recommend the banana cream pie. Ill be back next time Im in town.
Wonderful people and amazing ice cream! Love it here
The creamiest most delicious ice cream there is!
Highly recommended its so good. I even ate my ice cream before my friend and I was the last on to get mines.
The ice cream here was phenomenal. The staff was super nice too it was past the closing time and they still let me and my friend come in to get ice cream. Going to be a hotspot in Pittsburgh this summer.
Great ownership. Great Ive cream. Great experience.
The staff was awesome. This was a very enjoyable experience. My milkshake was amazing.
The staff was excellent very wonderful experience my son says he would give it a 10 out of five on the scale
I have them mix chocolate standard ice cream and the custard 50/50, add cheese cake bites and had the some of the best ice cream I ever had.
Loved it! Staff is friendly, ice cream is flavorful, and customization options are endless!
It was awsome, they made the ice cream in front of you, and you get to choose your own icecream flavor
Very friendly staff and the ice cream is absolutely the best Ive had hands down!
Yum! Cool individualized process for making ice cream one-by-one! Highly recommend!
Friendly staff looking to provide the best possible product and experience. And the milkshake I had was amazing!
Really nice concept and friendly staff with the chance to watch them freeze your ice Cream with nitrogen and mold your creation. Worth a visit!
Really good ice cream and great service.
Service is horrible and the location is very unclean. I will not be giving them my money after this.
Friendly staff and great location. In my opinion, Its better to stick to their menu for flavour combos.
Amazing to watch ice cream come to life. Good service and very friendly
My favorite ice cream place in Shadyside PittsburghGreat staff . Great flavors . Great experience
