Here's what Eater said about C&C Creamery:

Roxborough residents know it well, but any fan of cones piled high with sweet scoops should make it to C&C Creamery. The family-owned stand has been around since 1955 and makes everything on-site, going way beyond custard to sell hard ice cream, ice cream cakes, water ice, and soft pretzels. As a bonus, they serve Dole whips and pup cups of vanilla soft serve with a biscuit on the side.

C&C Creamery is located at 5461 Ridge Ave. in Roxborough.
