We also make coffee.
We make homemade cookies.
Homemade ice cream.
Like everything's homemade.
Our mission is very, very important.
Hey, Pittsburgh, we're going to some of your favorite ice cream shops here in the Burgh.
And today we're in McKees Rocks at Cookie Cookie Ice Cream Connie, if you could say and spell your first and last name and your title here.
Mom, title is mom.
Our cookies are ugly.
We don't care.
We're all about what they call the soft skills.
We're not teaching kids how to do specific tasks, but specific tasks get learned because of the environment that they're in.
So yes, you're going to learn how to crack an egg.
We crack probably 100 eggs a day, and eventually you're going to learn how to crack an egg right?
It's the best ice cream that I've ever had in my entire life.
And there's not a single flavor in there freezer that you couldn't put down in front of me, And I wouldn't just house within 30 seconds.
You have a lot of toppings, right?
Yeah, a lot.
I see some jimmies up there.
What's your favorite topping?
My personal favorite topping is Reeces pieces peanut butter cup And M&Ms.
Yes.
Did you try any of the fun, funky flavors like the avocado?
And they were actually very good.
I'm very surprised some of them don't seem like they would work.
They're really good.
So first you have to choose either one cookie or two cookies.
You said you have the best oatmeal raisin.
Best hands down oatmeal raisin.
I'm a fan of oatmeal raisin.
Hannah, could I do oatmeal raisin, please?
That's a big cookie.
Look at that.
Now, here comes the hardest part.
Okay, you have to pick the ice cream.
I feel like I want to try the banana with that.
And then why don't we do the strawberry one as well?
One of each.
You will not be sorry.
Yes.
That looks great.
Thank you.
Okay.
How how do you go about eating this thing?
I feel like you just have to like.
Thats why you get a spoon.
Dive right in.
All right, here we go.
Oh, that is so good.
The way that they make you feel when you come in here, the quality of the ice cream, the flavor of the ice cream, the texture of the ice cream.
I love the how positive everyone is like, I come in sometimes and not in a good mood.
And I come out gleaming like.
It's just.
Everyone's so kind here.
It's kind of like Pittsburgh, where it's like a little bit of a melting pot of the area where, yeah, a little bit of everything.
Like, I love it here.
It's so fun.
And you really should come stop by.
