Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor

Very weird. We came in an hour after the place opened but it seemed like a ghost town. We didn't see anyone for about five minutes, when all of the sudden an Ursula looking woman came out from the back. She made every effort possible to not make eye contact, she was clearly very unhappy to be there. She did not greet us and even after she came out it was about another 5 minutes until she acknoledged us. Avoiding eye contact, no pleasantries. She did not use gloves AT ALL even after watching her text on her phone, except for opening a banana. The environment was just unenjoyable, chairs were still on all of the tables, she had to turn everything on to make our order, the music the entire time was sad contemporary, so much so that it must have been a sad music playlist on google. Perhaps the worker had recenelty gone through a breakup. The ice cream was very good, the service awful, environment macabre. Not what you remember from your childhood. "This isn't my Dad's Klavon's."

The ice cream was great, with nice sized portions.

Favorite place 5 yrs ago but not now. I returned to the area for this Holiday season and visited one of my most favorite ice cream parlor. I will say with great sadness that the new owners from Belgium have damaged a great business. I will not return in the future or reccomend this establishment. It's very expensive for the quality of the ice cream sundaes. The charm and nostalgia of the parlor is gone, the service was slow at best, and the way customers are served is confusing. I had my standard Amaretto Truffle sundae single scoop which was well over $8 and contained half a jar of Marchinio Cherries which normally had one on top of the whip cream. They also poured half of the Amaretto syrup out (back into the serving container). It was served in a small plastic cup and not the metal or glass sundae cups. They had limited flavors of ice cream in stock, no hot fudge, played moderately loud Disco music videos on a big screen TV. The visit was a disappointment, the place had very little business for a weekend/holiday, and we couldn't pay cash as we do in Da'Burgh to support local Mom & Pop businesses. For years this has been one of the Best places in Pittsburgh for bringing out of town guests to. The Charm is gone and is now a very sterile environment. You'll enjoy Scoops or Dairy Queen more for a better quality and price by about $3 less for equal amount of ice cream and without all the cherries.

Very good ice cream. Get the strawberry

What a delightful experience!! We stopped on a whim and we are so grateful to have found this gem!

Great tasting ice cream. Had strawberry and mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone. Old school soda shop vibe.
