Even though Butler, Pennsylvania is in the northern part of the United States, it can still get quite warm in the summer. When you’re looking for ways to beat the heat, why not try these favorite local ice cream spots in Butler, PA?
Mazzanti’s Beans & Cream
This local ice cream parlor can sometimes have an hour’s wait, but the treat at the end is totally worth it. People certainly wouldn’t stand in line for that long if the ice cream weren’t almost life-changing.
Mazzanti’s Beans & Cream makes its ice cream in-house, which means it is thick and creamy, just as it’s supposed to be. Butter pecan and salted caramel are two favorite flavors, but you can’t go wrong with any of them. You can also get sundaes, tornadoes, banana splits, ice cream sandwiches, and even Italian ices.
King Cones Castle
For the tallest soft serve ice cream cones in Butler, King Cones Castle is the place to go. Not only will you get more ice cream than you can imagine, but it will be at a price you won’t believe. This is truly an ice cream parlor for the masses since you can treat everyone on your list and still have money left over.
There are around 20 flavors of soft-serve ice cream, including one called “Blue Goo,” and nearly 45 flavors of hard ice cream, including seasonal flavors like Toasted Coconut, Cinnamon Bun, and White Lightning. Excellent service will round out your sweet treat experience.
Debbie Lee’s Delight
Debbie Lee’s Delight is an ice cream and frozen yogurt stand that offers more than 30 flavors of soft-serve ice cream and yogurt and 12 flavors of hard ice cream. You can also get sundaes, shakes, and arctic blasts, if you’re in the mood for something other than a standard scoop or two of ice cream. This local spot is ideal for families because it has a playground and basketball court for kids, which may allow parents to enjoy their ice cream a little longer.
Shmily’s
Shmily’s serves hot and cold food as well as ice cream, but it’s the sweet treats that keep people coming back. It offers 24 flavors of soft-serve ice cream and is an excellent place to grab a cone and walk around for a bit.
The waiting area is small, so you probably won’t linger too long after getting your cone, shake, or sundae, but if you prefer to eat inside, the dining area is more spacious. You can also get smoothies, ice cream sandwiches, snowstorms, and slush puppies to help you ward off the heat of the day.
Valley Dairy Restaurant
Valley Dairy Restaurant is a full-service breakfast and lunch restaurant, but it’s best known for its ice cream. It offers 10 flavors of hard ice cream, including blueberry waffle cone, sea salt caramel cheesecake, and butter pecan and cashew to go along with the more traditional flavors of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, rainbow, and birthday cake. The ice cream is inexpensive and is a nice ending to a meal or as a treat all on its own.
