She explained the story and the popular items at their store. While my kids were happy with a pressed donut, I went in for a fancy shake. It was pretty good. It's a lot though, very rich and filling. It was a great stop before the ride home. Didn't need a meal after that. Is hype or is it for real...I enjoyed it. Recommended.

I am so glad that I stumbled into this little local Gelato in Cave Creek!…read more The space honestly doesn't seem impressive honestly. My husband was trying to convince me that it cannot have real gelato by its look. haha. Boy, he was wrong ; ) I love real pistachio gelato, but they are hard to come across. Most places uses partially flavorings if not completely. Even among the few places using all real pistachio, many do not use enough pistachio because it's an expensive ingredient. But here at Sweet Suzan's, it's real deal. It was a slow time when I walked in. The service was friendly and welcoming. I was informed that their gelato is homemade and I can try any flavors interested. I got the affogato with pistachio gelato after trying their pistachio gelato. And wow! That's real good quality espresso there which honestly I wan't expecting from a gelato shop. Overall, got to say that I am sold! The only thing I'd like to ask them is that I wish they would post alternative schedule on their social media if they are not opening on their regular posted hours.

After a wonderful meal next door at The Sicilian Butcher, our waiter suggested some dessert, but…read morelittle did I know they had a whole bakery connected to the restaurant. I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

The Sicilian Butcher is one of my favorite restaurants in town. So, my recommendation is that you…read moremake it a one-two punch. Have a meal at The Sicilian Butcher and then follow that up with dessert at The Sicilian Baker. There are several locations in town, with this one being in North Phoenix. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Thursday. Parking tends to be busy in their complimentary lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is connected to The Sicilian Butcher. It's a small bakery, with only a few seats. More of a grab-and-go type of spot or the source of your dessert if you're dining at the restaurant. While small, the decor and ambiance is nice. Service (3/5): A little bit of bad luck, but on my most recent visit, they were having trouble with their refrigeration so no gelato was available. While interacting with the staff, it was an average experience. I will say that the service was much better in the restaurant. Drinks (N/A): I only got dessert, but they do have coffee and a few other beverages available. Food (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is known for its cannolis, tiramisu, gelato, and lobster claws (dessert, not real lobster haha). On my most recent visit, I had a cannoli. They have your classic cannoli but also a nice variety of other fillings including pistachio, Reese's, and more. A+ for creativity, though I decided to stick with the classic. Solid. In fact, all of the desserts I've had here over the years have been quite good.

We stopped by Bruster's for my daughter's middle school fundraiser, and it was such a sweet…read moresurprise, we forgot just how good their ice cream is! Bruster's Real Ice Cream seriously has some of the creamiest ice cream. We had been to this location when it first opened but hadn't been back in a while, and now I'm wondering why we waited so long. One thing we love is that they have a drive-through option, so convenient, especially on busy school nights. And the flavor selection? So many to choose from! My daughter picked a scoop of chocolate raspberry truffle and a scoop of cherry vanilla. My son went with cotton candy explosion and loved the pop rocks mixed in. He thought that was the coolest part. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed to support a good cause and treat ourselves. We will definitely be back again soon!

Bruster's Real Ice Cream…read more Fudge Ripple No Sugar Ice Cream is one of the better no sugar ice creams that i have had, not much difference in flavor and as a diabetic, it is nice to still have some treats to enjoy. Pistachio Ice Cream is always my go to flavor growing up as a child, whether from Thrifty Ice Cream or Baskin Robbins, Bruster's adds to the folklore. All ice cream comes from the freezers hand scooped from the many people servicing customers like old style. They are quick and courteous. Will be back, nice to have a choice of quality Ice cream stores not to far from the house.

The flavors rotate throughout the year, which keeps it fun, but I love that they don't overload you with too many choices. My forever fave is the original tart - it's perfectly tangy and soooo good with toppings. Speaking of toppings... the bar is stacked: gummies, chocolates, syrups, sweets - all the good stuff. The only thing missing? Whipped cream! (If I didn't miss out in seeing the bottle in the toppings bar) There's plenty of parking, and don't forget to download their app to earn points. They upgraded from using phone numbers last year, and honestly, the app makes it super easy.
