Known for their creative scoops made from farm-fresh ingredients, Millie’s Homemade Ice Cream is a beloved ice cream shop enjoyed by Pittsburghers of all ages. With over 15,000 Instagram followers, Millie’s Ice Cream currently has two store locations in Shadyside and Market Square, along with a commercial manufacturing facility and tasting room in Homestead.

With unique flavors like Fire & Smoke, Better Bread & Butter, and Pittsburgh Style, the pickles from the Pittsburgh Pickle Company aren’t just your typical side pickle—they hold their own ground as the star of the meal. The artisanal pickles at the Pittsburgh Pickle Company are made with cucumbers fresh off the farm and jarred immediately, a rare practice in the pickle industry. 

Strolling down South Braddock Avenue in Regent Square, there’s a new shop on the block called My Goodness—it's half neighborhood market, half prepared food shop, and 100% friendly. My Goodness was born out of their vision to offer healthy, delicious food to the community that’s organic, sustainably sourced, and local—sparing customers the need to examine every label.
