Pittsburgh Hot Plate

There’s a small ice cream store on the corner of Braddock, and Forbes Avenue.  Rose’s Ice Cream has been open for two years now, and has enjoyed mild success.  Every time I drive by, I’m surprised that there aren’t larger crowds, even in the summer.  The location (Forbes and Braddock) is one of the busiest in the entire city, not to mention it sits across from Frick Park, and the surrounding Regent Square neighborhood.   Rose’s offers a wide variety of ice cream flavors provided by Kerber’s Dairy.  They also offer soft ice cream, and your choice of a waffle or cake cone.  The ice cream is good, although some of the flavors are a bit of a stretch.  I’m not a fan of brightly colored ice cream with chunks of gum and candy.  I am a fan of traditional chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla- all of which they have.   Rose’s is a quaint ice cream parlor, with nice employees and plenty of space to sit outside.  Hopefully by posting this review, we can help this small business increase its numbers.
