I came here for a late night dessert over the weekend and it was satisfying! I made my own and…read morechose strawberry, mini mochi, and lychee jelly with condensed milk. Simple but so tasty! I ordered through the kiosk so it was easy but service was friendly and they made sure to ask if we had any questions. There's plenty of tables to sit and my sister and I each devoured our dessert in no time. I can't wait to come back!

Great location between sushi and Korean restaurants. Oh myyy!…read more Plenty of parking at this outdoor mall location. Staff is friendly, plenty of seating and bar seating as well. Serve yourself water and utensils. Restaurant is clean and the wait was not too long. You do order via touch screen. I ordered the biscoff bowl and it was soooo delicious. Wowza! My cousin ordered the sunset with strawberries and mango and that was nice and refreshing as well. We ordered small and it was a nice serving size, which I didn't think I would finish, but I polished it off. I will be back to try other items. Give them a try! Really good!

Came with a small group of friends for an evening of sweet treats; first time for us to be here…read more Let me start by saying, the 4 stars are for the product itself...I would have truly given 2 stars for the two young men working that evening. Having never been, it took us some time to get the feel of the treats, watch others order, study the menu and then deciding on what to order. Several others in our group had been previously and they all had suggestions as well to share. Both of us got a small Jelati, which is a layered mix of Italian Ice and soft serve ice cream...you can also choose to have toppings like sprinkles, Oreo cookie crumbs, butter cookies, etc. I decided on the Key West Tropical (a wonderful tasting mix of pineapple, mango, passion fruit, banana, and coconut) layered with vanilla soft-serve and no toppings. Also, I choose the small size which was actually perfect for a tasty treat. The Jelati itself was so good...creamy and the Tropical ice was amazing and so made me want to be in the tropics! Wife decided on the lemon ice layered with vanilla and no toppings. She loved it but did say it needed a tad more of that lemon tart flavor. We will come back to try some of the other flavor combos...highly recommend this place for nice, cool, summer treat! Now on to the reason I initially said I would give 2 stars for the employees. As I was watching them make treats, I observed no gloves, I observed both touching their faces and hair, rubbing hands on pants, etc. When I was asked about ordering, I specifically asked that the young man making the treats please wash his hands and glove up, to which I got a look from the one taking the orders but he walked over to the other one, said something to him and he in turn took over the cash register while the initial young man who took the order went and washed his hands for a second or two, walked over to the gloves, put them on and made my treat. As soon as he was done, the gloves came off and he continued to make the following treats being ordered. Although nothing was said by either, the looks and overall tone was definitely changed but I really didn't care and just explained that food safety should be the top of their list. Just in case they see this...from the AzDHS food safety website: In Arizona, food workers must avoid bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods by using single-use gloves, tongs, or deli paper. We will be back for sure so hopefully employees are brought up to speed on safety requirements for washing hands and wearing gloves.

We went the soft-serve route & loved it. The mixed vanilla & chocolate swirl was delicious and…read moreperfectly smooth. The small size was more than enough, though in the summer I'd definitely go for a large. The young man working was very polite & happily offered samples until we decided on the soft-serve swirl. The cafe area was clean, well-lit & had plenty of tables to choose from. Parking was easy, too. We'll definitely be back soon.

The shave ice: The staff are very friendly, and also helpful because there is a lot to see on the menu. The staff take their time to make each one and it shows in the taste/quality. The choices are multiple yet also can be simple too. And yes, they even offer dye free products! The prices are very fair and reasonable, we enjoyed our time and would give this place 5 stars for the entire experience.

Fabulous service. Went in to buy a water jug with spigot for camping…read more I chose the 5 gallon jug and asked how many pounds it weighs because I had my hand in a wrist brace. I said I could probably handle it if I wheeled it out. They graciously offered to carry out the full jug for me and placed it in my car. I am so thankful for that.

My first time here and I'm so obsessed with their decor! Staff are all so nice and welcoming. Have…read moreno fear if you're an indecisive girl like me because they allow you to sample flavors before ordering. I love that there's different options. They have soft serve, italian ice, and different ice cream flavors. It's really hard to decide when everything tastes so yummy. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A great place to be with a group of people.

I've been to Joe's a couple of times and the staff here is super friendly. It's right next to Old…read moreTown Taste so definitely a great spot for dessert after. I've tried their banana split and Joe Latti the last few times I had come by here. They have lots of rotating Italian ice flavors so there is definitely something for everyone. The ice is very soft and doesn't taste too syrupy. I think the contrast of the fruity Italian ice flavors pairs well with the vanilla soft serve that they have on the Joe Latti. Stamp cards are also offered here, which is something that I have not seen in a long time. There is lots of seating here as well, and the lines move quickly. It's also convenient that they have a drive through here.

Many times I've seen her working by herself hopping back and forth from scooping ice cream to blending smoothies and ringing guests up for water.. running the whole show and she does this all while wearing a smile! They sell Thrifty ice cream by the scoop or pre-packaged half gallons. They are a little more pricier than a carton of Dreyer's from the Fry's across the street; however, it's definitely worth it for the for special flavors. My family's favorite is the pineapple coconut. So good! You can't find Thrifty's at too many places.

J-Wow, are you really reviewing a Water and Ice?…read more I am, but let me just say that this isn't just a regular Water and Ice. It's a COOL Water 'n Ice. More than just the average water and ice spot, they also sell Thrifty ice cream and advertise that they have $4.99 boba as well. While I didn't partake in purchasing either sweet treat, I did stop in to get some water. Water is $0.55 per gallon but if you get the prepaid RO water card, it would be $0.50 That's all I wanted to say. That and it's quite warm in here!

Meet Fresh is perhaps the top destination for not-too-sweet desserts in the Valley, and the Thai…read moretea series in September actually has me dreaming of coming back. I ordered the iced Thai Milk Tea Tofu dessert, really just expecting some silken tofu with Thai tea syrup on top. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of toppings it came with -- chewy boba, sago, and "potaro balls" that were made with taro or sweet potato dough and filled with black sesame. The tofu was also incredibly soft for a contrasting texture. All of it was placed in the perfect amount of actual Thai milk tea. So sad it'll be gone soon, but it makes me more inspired to try other tofu desserts on their menu :') Beyond the specials, I'm a huge fan of their iced grass jelly dessert (so refreshing!), which come with a delightful mix of textures. They also have hot desserts, like red bean soup, that are actually rare to find in-state. Pretty much all the main desserts comes in a shareable size. Lots of parking, easy kiosk ordering, and so much seating in a clean environment. Will be back!

The entrance has a kiosk where you can order, or you can just order with the cashier. There are so…read moremany menu options! It doesn't matter how often you come, I feel like you'll never run out of something new to try. I ordered a fluffy matcha smoothie and it came to $12.67. That does account for an extra $2 since I wanted to be a big back and get condensed milk and taro in addition. I'm not sure I'd come regularly for the boba as it's definitely pricier. There's booth seating and also a few tables to sit at. It's quite spacious for a boba shop.

Monday, September 21, 2026 is the last day of summer with autumn officially beginning the next day…read more Let's end the summer season with a nice icy beach bowl! Yes, "Playa Bowls" translates directly to "Beach Bowls" because playa is the Spanish word for beach. I came with some spin class gals and what a treat. I ordered The Pura Vida bowl (base of signature açaí topped with blueberry flax granola, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and a drizzle of honey). It was everything I wanted after spin class to cool off and get some good nutrition. Eat your colors, y'all! Playa Bowls started in 2014 as a small sidewalk cart in Belmar, New Jersey, founded by surfers Abby Taylor and Rob Giuliani. With over 400 shops operating across more than 30 states, you can only assume why this place is so well-loved.

I'm bananas for bananas, so naturally I skipped right past the açaí and went straight for the Olas…read moreBowl. The Olas Bowl starts with a banana blend made with banana, honey, and almond milk, then piles on blueberry flax granola, fresh banana, blueberries, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and almond butter. Basically, it is banana on banana. And honestly? I really liked it. The banana base was creamy and naturally sweet, while the blueberries gave it a little tartness and the granola added some much-needed crunch. Coconut flakes and chia seeds gave everything more texture, and the almond butter made the whole bowl richer and more substantial. There is a lot happening in one bowl but somehow the banana still gets to be the main star. Fun banana fact: botanically, bananas are actually berries. The shop itself is really fun, with a bright, beachy vibe that makes a bowl of blended fruit feel vaguely like you are doing something tropical instead of just hiding from the Arizona heat. Four stars from me. The Olas was refreshing, filling, and a nice change from the usual açaí bowl. If you are a fellow banana enthusiast, this is probably the bowl I would point you toward. Although apparently I shouldn't point. So I'll gesture politely in its general direction.
