History
Ryan, who owns Betsy's along with his wife, a kindergarten teacher, always dreamed of owning his own business. After settling in Mt. Lebanon, he saw a need for old-fashioned, high-quality, homemade ice cream in Mt. Lebanon's Uptown business district and, when finally presented with the opportunity, jumped at the chance. After finding an ideal location, the couple, along with the help of friends and family, spent thousands of hours building out the shop to accentuate the character of the 80+ year old space the shop now inhabits. Ryan accented his years of restaurant experience with countless hours of study and training to ensure that their product would be the best available, and is proud to now offer their super-premium ice creams & sorbets to the public at reasonable prices.
Specialties
Betsy's features 15%, low overrun (air content) super-premium ice cream at competitive prices. How competitive? Our 2-scoop (4 ounce) small is only $2.79 plus tax, whereas most places selling lower-grade ice cream are charging upwards of $3 for a single 4 ounce scoop! We scoop 'email small so our customers can try few of our unique flavors without having to buy a huge serving. Please take advantage of our free evening & weekend parking behind the store and stop in and sample a couple of flavors to find the one that suits you just right!
