Shadyside Ice Cream Parlor Goes Conveniently Green With Healthy TreatsPOSTED: 3:33 pm EDT September 27,
2007 PITTSBURGH -- Forget artery clogging bacon and eggs. Why not try something healthy for breakfast like ice cream?Oh Yeah is the newest shop on Pittsburgh's Shadyside. The sweets shop opened three weeks ago, but it differs from most ice cream parlors and adds a healthy twist to its dishes.Ethan Clay, Oh Yeah's owner, said the ice cream is made with organic Amish cream. He said it's not pasteurized, so it retains omega 3s, nutrients, enzymes, and the unrefined sugar is better for your body.WTAE Channel 4 Action News anchor Kelly Frey tested out the Locacado for breakfast. The Locacado is a custom creation consisting of lime coconut sorbet, avocado, fresh grated ginger and crunchy granola.Oh Yeah also has a full espresso bar.Fair Trade and organic coffee is served and if you buy a monthly subscription, you drink all the coffee you want for a flat fee."Bring your own cup," said Clay. "We save on cups, you save on the price. Because the most expensive part of the cup of coffee is the cup."Plastic cups get recycled. Everything else is green. Salvaged wood from bowling alleys created the counters and recycled tires make up the floor.Oh Yeah is a dog-friendly store, too, serving doggy ice cream for your pet.
