#205: Oh Yeah! Ice Cream and Coffee - Definitely a Treat for Two

The Best Place to Eat the Breakfast Your Mom Never Let You Have

On yet another warm summer evening in Pittsburgh, Michelle and I ventured to Shadyside to test the ice cream at Oh Yeah! Ice Cream and Coffee. To our surprise, the line to order a cool treat was out the door and down the front steps. When we made it inside the coffee/ice cream shop, we were entertained by the unique and creative decor. Old license plates, odd pieces of art, and many advertisements for local classes, shops, and concerts surrounded us. Michelle seemed excited to hear that the ice cream featured was actually from her favorite shop - Dave and Andy's. She ordered something to suite her tastes while I attempted to order LivingSocial's suggestion - a vegan cinnamon waffle with a scoop of dark chocolate ice cream. Unfortunately, they were out of vegan waffles so I opted for a buckwheat one. The best part was that the waffle was made fresh and was warm enough to melt the ice cream. My dessert, which also doubled as dinner, turned out to be huge and could certainly be big enough for two to share, though I'm not complaining.

#1: Razzy Fresh - Just Plain Delicious

The Best Fro-yo

On our way to see Bridesmaids (excellent movie - you should see it) on a warm Sunday evening, Michelle and I decided to stop off and check out Razzy Fresh on Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill. Similar to Cuzzins Yogurt in Columbus, Razzy Fresh allows you to pick how much frozen yogurt and toppings you want. You select from a bunch of different flavors of yogurts (common flavors include Taro, Mango, Passion Fruit, Cookies & Cream, etc.) and a wide variety of toppings (fresh fruits, candies, chocolates, sauces, whipped cream...) and pile it as high as you can afford. When you're done, the cup of goodness is weighed and you pay a set price per ounce. The fun part is the freedom of choice. The downside is you really have no idea how much you will spend.
 
I typically prefer real ice cream to frozen yogurt and I know Michelle is a huge fan of Dave and Andy's in Oakland, but we both have found Razzy Fresh to be pretty darn good. Following the suggestion from LivingSocial and adding a little bit of "Emily" flavor, I had a wonderful combination of raspberry, mango and original tart fro-yo (the papaya was not available at the time) topped with mango, strawberries, kiwi, crushed graham cracker, and one white chocolate chip. I'm really not a fan of white chocolate, but the rest of this snack was to die for. Perfect end to a weekend!
