They were offering free milkshakes to the first 100 participants and we were lucky enough to score one of those gifts! We decided to just take one and share it and decided on the Frozen Hot Chocolate, which is made with Blue Bell chocolate ice cream, hot cocoa mix, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff and a "kosher" marshmallow. I'm just not a big sugar fiend so I found the shake to be extremely sweet and gooey...wife loved it! I didn't try the marshmallow but she said it was good and she could tell it was homemade. We decided we would try the store in Gilbert at some point this summer to see what other goodies they offer. Overall, a good treat and thank you for the free goodie! Sorry, there was so much going on at the moment, I didn't take a photo of the actual milkshake!

I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat. I like to enjoy a warm beverage with my dessert and I couldn't imagine doing it in there. We opted to eat in our car Service was friendly and patient. We arrived on a Saturday around 1130 am and their was plenty of items available Can't wait to come back

My four year old actually shouted, "I love it here."

I cannot believe they have been open such a short time as they have a deep understanding of their space, demographics and impressive knowledge in making Italian coffee.

Scoopwell's Dough Bar

We are up in the area for a dance competition (my 10 year old. Would be beyond scary if it was me…read more). Have some spare time, so we looked up dessert places. Never have been to a dough bar, so we decided to give it a try! First, I was happy to see that they gave samples (small metal spoons that they reuse after sanitizing). This allowed me to try before getting. I ended up ordering the 50/50. You are able to get different flavors for each scoop. I ended up getting mint chip and cookies & cream). Both ice creams were delicious and tasted creamy and smooth. For the dough I got peanut butter explosion and chocolate chip. My only change would have been getting vanilla instead of mint chip. The mint chip was delicious, but I feel that the flavor detracted a bit from the cookie dough. My daughter got the 50/50 with two scoops of vanilla and two scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough. She really enjoyed both, but it was too much for her (taking one for the team I helped finish hers). Both my wife and my mother-in-law ordered the four scoops of dough. My wife had the chocolate chip cookie dough, white chocolate macadamia, cookie butter, and cookies and cream. My mother-in-law had brownie batter, key lime, oatmeal chip and snickerdoodle. Both said that next time they would get one to share, as it was cookie dough overload. My wife's comments: "I loved the variety. The cookie batter was exceptional. It was like eating cookie butter straight from the jar." My mother-in-law's comment: "A definite overdose, but delicious. My favorite was between the key lime and the oatmeal chip."

Oddly, I had a craving for cookie dough, so I opted for the small, which is 4 scoops of your choice. 2 choco chip, 1 brownie & 1 oatmeal choco chip is what I decided on. The choco chip and brownie were PERFECT! It really hit the spot and satisfied the craving I was looking for. The oatmeal to me was just okay and tasted overly sweet- I think I got a toothache! Service was great, the gal who took my order was very kind. I was the only one in, so must've been just a slow summer day. I will definitely find myself in here again, when I'm needing to satisfy that sweet tooth craving!

I honestly can't even describe how good it is!! you just have to try it. Their Greek yogurt flavors are phenomenal too. They have everything from strawberry and lemon to good old-fashioned vanilla, plus different flavors to try depending on what you're in the mood for. Another thing I absolutely love about this place is that it goes beyond the yogurt. Inside, they carry products from local vendors and so many fresh and natural items....milk, cheeses, drinks, and other goodies you can take home. I love being able to support a local business that also supports other local businesses. I seriously wish we had MORE places like this instead of so many commercial, overly processed options everywhere. Fresh, local, delicious, and something you can actually feel good about eating. This place is such a gem!

The vibrant atmosphere greeted us as soon as we entered 212 Ice Cream Studio. It's an experience rather than just an ice cream shop. Rich, creamy, and oozing with flavor, the ice cream is an absolute joy. My kid had fun with his ice cream, so sharing the experience with him made the visit much more memorable. That extra level of fun was given by the innovative flavors and the hands-on approach involved in making our treats. The welcoming and accommodating staff added to the special memories of our visit. For families and anybody who enjoys delicious ice cream experiences, it's a must-visit location where inventiveness and sweet desires meet. read more

Not only is the gelato of outstanding quality, but there is a large variety of flavors to choose from.

They also have milkshakes, affogatos, and gelato pies. When I had an affogato, I got it with salted caramel gelato and coffee, and it was an excellent combination of sweet and bitter. Although they are best known for their gelato, do not sleep on their coffee. Their coffee is some of the best I have ever had. The atmosphere is nice and modern. It makes for a perfect place to relax and enjoy your gelato or your coffee. Not only is the shop tastefully decorated, but it is also clean as well. The owner, Brian, is one of the most genuine, friendly, and welcoming guys I have ever met. Every time I walk into the shop, he greets me with a warm smile and asks how my day is going. Whenever the shop is not busy, I have enjoyed many friendly conversations with him while enjoying my gelato and/or coffee. I can tell that he cares about customers having a wonderful experience in his shop. I highly recommend Gourmet Gelato and Coffee to anyone in the Phoenix area looking for an excellent gelato shop. No matter where in the Phoenix area you live, the drive is worth it. You will not be disappointed. I will continue to be a regular customer.
