Gelato! Gelato!! Gelato!!! There's nothing better than a cup of this cold, sweet treat after browsing around the La Grande Orange Grocery. My tongue was on the hunt for something peanut-buttery and rich, and wow did the peanut butter cookie gelato from Grateful Spoon satisfy. Yum!~ The gelato texture was perfect - thick and creamy - and the bits of cookie throughout gave a nice crunch and chew. The serving size was generous and, when paying with cash, this cup of gold was less than $5. You can bet I'll be back to try another scoop! Because they also make cakes, pies, cookies and other treats, expect some cool flavor mashups. I'd love to see a red velvet cake gelato! read more

The worst gelato. Just ordered two. Both tasted freezer burned, hard and flakey. Should have know by the effort it took her to scrape it together. read more

Great service, fun environment, and delicious gelato!! We loved visiting when we were in town, and had a delicious treat.

Hands down the best service and sorbet I have ever had!! The store was in fantastic condition. Clean, great music and over all amazing vibe!!! read more

I really enjoyed the raspberry and kiwi sorbets on my last visit. The kiwi reminded me of the kiwi gelato I got in Italy in college. The fruit flavors were punched up and were fresh, tart, and just sweet enough. All in all, the sorbets are super authentic and tasty. read more

Yuummmmmm!!! Eyes roll back in your head good. Can't get enough! Especially happy hour!

Went here with the wife after dinner. The staff was super friendly and nice. We tried some samples and enjoyed their recommendations. The gelato ice was tasty. read more

Oh My Goodness! Such great gelato! They have gluten free flavors and so much variety! Tastes like a dream-so smooth and flavorful! Thank you Joshua for your donation to New.Vision Center and for the support of our LGBTQIA Community for our event tonight!!!! We are Grateful for your Grateful Spoon Gelato!!! read more

Absolutely delicious gelato! And what a great community focused business. Our spiritual center was so happy that Grateful Spoon was the featured dessert for our fundraiser. read more

Grateful Spoon Gelato is located in the LGO marketplace, and offers unique flavors of gelato. The gelato is very reasonably priced (the small size is about $3), creamy, and so flavorful! My favorite aspect is that you can enjoy your gelato while browsing through the store that's filled with cute, unique trinkets and gifts. Highly recommend stopping by Grateful Spoon for dessert, yum! :) read more

If you are coming here at night, beware that there is barely any lighting on 40 Street going from Indian School towards Campbell. It shows up in the same mini plaza as LGO Pizza and Grocery Store. It is a quaint little location that is interconnected to the restaurant and grocery store. There were not many selections, but all the flavors I tried were excellent. They even had vegan fruits choices such as strawberry, banana, and mango. The vegan strawberry was excellent. The Dulce le Leche was to die for, but there was very little left to get an entire scoop. I saw a new flavor that had almond base and raspberry paste mixed in. I can't remember the name right now, but it was very delicious. My friends got hazelnut and nutella. We paid with a $10 Groupon, and the final price was 10.98. The lady told us not to worry about the 98 cents, and we were on our way to Gelato Heaven. read more

AZ weather in January rocks, it is that simple, this is why I live here. Where else can you stroll over to a local gelato spot, in shorts & flip-flops without feeling under dressed? I spent the day cleaning house, literally. It was time to get rid of things that i have been holding onto, why, still trying to figure that out... After dinner and feeling in the mood for something sweet & creamy, what could I have? Grafetul Spoon was needed at this point. They took over where Arlecchino Gelato left off. Not sure of who is involved from the previous business, but their setup is very similar. The interior has only changed slightly. The gelato is still tasty, different I'm sure of, but not the exactness of it. I tasted the Blackberry, very sweet, tasted great. Tried the Nutella (the beautiful young counter woman even went to the back freezer to get a sampling for me) it was good. Decided on the Dulce de Lueche without even a nibble, it looked delectable. It was... creamy... sweet... caramely... & delectable. The prices have gone up by .25 - .50 , but this will happen in almost any business. Although the $3.24 that I spent on one scoop would buy almost a pint of B&J's (on sale of course), the freshness and proximity is not lost on me. Sample then indulge, you can't pick a wrong one... read more

Momma found a new love.....Grateful Spoon has some yummy flavors rich and decadent ...today's choice ~Honey Marscapone and Peanut Butter...just so you know my ice cream , yogurt and gelatos are always going to have Peanut Butter in there somewhere. This was very pure tasting , loved seeing their sign that they use local ingredients and no nasty additives. Great taste just wish it was closer. But don't worry I ll be back to grab some fun stuff over at Grocery in not too long from now... Prices were reasonable and who doesn't enjoy the great little shops over at Le Grande Orange.... ( Spied Tammie Coe in her bakery and about squealed with delight ) ..I tihnkl I could spend a whole afternoon hanging out ...once again wish it was close... read more

A few points before I get into my flavor reviews. The service was impeccable. For service alone, they would receive 5 stars. I was helped by a lovely young lady who was extremely patient with me as I tried to narrow down their selection to the 3 scoops I was gifting myself with. The location is convenient. It's definitely hipster alley, but there is lots of good food around here. Decent amount of parking, as well. Not matter how busy it was, we always had ample parking. Even up close "rock star" parking. They make all the gelato in-house using all natural ingredients -- just like the old country. I was told they get all of their fruit from a local farmers market and their dairy is local, as well. Their fruit gelato is vegan, which is nice for those of that lifestyle. The young lady who helped me said this shop was once owned by an Italian family and when they bought the shop, it came with the old country recipes. Flavors I tried: Nutella - Interesting choice. It has an extremely potent flavor, so this is not the type of gelato you can eat a lot of -- not that you should eat a lot of gelato anyway! Chocolate Peanut Butter - Very rich, but overall forgettable. It didn't stand out enough for me to want to come back for more than one little spoonful. Key Lime - This was tasty, but only in a sample size portion. It was so tart, that it made my mouth hurt. I had to get a dairy-based sample afterward to remove the taste from my mouth. Pistachio - Very similar to classic Italian Pistachio gelato. The consistency was a tad off, but that could just be from how hot it was that day in comparison to the weeks prior. Raspberry - Extremely tasty. Very refreshing. Not remarkable, though. It's forgettable, sadly, even though it has a good flavor profile. Lingonberry Almond - My Swedish friends would be very happy! This gelato was creamy to perfection. It's enchanting mixture of smoky almonds and sweet lingonberry was somewhat mysterious. This is the kind of flavor combination that makes your palate think -- which I don't mind. All in all, it was a good experience. Based on my personal scale, I'd say 4 stars. Based on Yelp's scale, it was A-OK. I've had MUCH better elsewhere. But, for Phoenix, AZ -- I'm impressed! read more

Thankfully the gelato nearly made up for the utterly cheerless service. That poor girl couldn't seem to muster a smile for the life of her! Also, if I were the owner, I'd be a little peeved that she is giving the pizzeria $1 special to people who didn't eat there... though I certainly appreciated the cheap gelato! The gelato was good (I had the honey mascarpone and the Husband had Nutella), but it didn't seem to be any better than the thousands of other shops around town. ***edited to add: I quite appreciated the genuinely sweet message sent by our server. Sincere apologies go a really long way in my book. Thanks :) read more

Finally found good gelato! Being from Chicago, that's not easy to find. Salted Carmel was my favorite. Had a really fun blackberry Sauvignon for you wineos that was pretty delicious. Free samples! And they have a lot of fun gifts too! Such a cute place. Will definitely go back! read more

I really enjoy this little place. It is in my favorite area right by La Grande Orange... I lived in Italy and I love gelato...I prefer gelato over ice cream anyday! It is just so much better and creamier... This place is cute and its a neighborhood place and its a great place for families and those that just ahd dinner to walk too...The people there are so sweet and nice...They have a great selection and you can order gelato pies too! This place is great! read more

The gelato at Grateful Spoon is a little inconsistent. Overall I wasn't impressed by the different flavors I tried. I did like the honey lavender and the lemon (nice and tart). The almond lingonberry was the one flavor standout for me. Prices are expensive, just buy a pint. At $5 per pint it's a much better deal than a small scoop for $3. Service was very friendly and helpful. Parking is shared with Le Grande Orange, which means parking sucks. read more

O-my-gosh, I think I've fallen in love with Grateful Spoon's gelato. Why didn't we find each other sooner? I've been wasting my time with other gelato spots in the valley, who will remain nameless. Hazelnut, Coffee, Pistachio and Chocolate flavors are all heavenly. Yummy! read more

Grateful spoon thank you for the interesting flavors and the vegan options. Your prices are pretty reasonable as well. I will be back

I feel very torn about this place. I went twice and both times were lackluster. I want to give 1 star to the parking situation at this location. Its always full and an accident waiting to happen because it dead ends and you have to back up into oncoming traffic trying to find a parking spot as well. The two times we came here, we ended up parking in a barber shop lot across the street. You would think with this corner of shops parking would have been worked out better. Don't come and expect to find parking, ever. I know its not the gelato stores fault for bad parking, but it seriously deters any desire to come here and it just makes it frustrating. I want to give 5 stars for the vegan flavors of gelato. I had pear and banana and they were really good. Some of the best vegan fruit flavored gelato I have ever had. I want to give 2 stars to the regular flavors of gelato. They just tasted like milk and melted really fast. I tried pistachio and chocolate. I want to give 1 star to the scoop size. I swear to god, my scoop was slightly bigger than a golf ball. And for $3? Are you kidding? Without the groupon I purchased which was $5 for $10 worth of gelato, neither time we used the full amount, I don't see myself frequenting this place as the amount is crazy. I want to give 1 star to the workers who helped us both of the times we came in here. No joke, I told them which flavor I wanted and they asked "which one is it? Point it out." Uhh... isn't that your job to know? Its not like there were 50 flavors to choose from. I think I counted 18. So it shouldn't have been that complicated. I am going to settle on 2 stars since that's what my total averaged out to be. I don't see myself coming back here for all of these reasons except the fruit flavored gelatos, which I wish were given bigger scoops or the prices were changed. But even for how good they are, I can't say I'll be back. Sorry. read more

I've been here more than 10 times, and I have to say it is one of the best gelato places I've been to inside the US. I think that the pistachio gelato is one of the best I've had in the world, even counting Italy. If I could change something about this place, I'd give it more space so that you aren't sitting so close to the cars in the parking lot when you sit outside. Parking can be difficult at popular times. Still, this is a great place that I love to frequent and highly recommend. read more

Hands down the best Gelato in all of the valley. I contacted Mike, the Gelato chef, at Grateful Spoon, to do some gelato for by girlfriend's surprise birthday party. I needed something unique, something good, and something that could serve forty or fifty people. And Mike came through like a boss for me. An almond concoction with a lingonberry topping that was out of this world. While there was some cake left after the surprise party, there wasn't an ounce of the gelato to be had. It was so good even her vegan dad was sad that there was none for him. More than a dozen times he asked "are you sure gelato isn't vegan?!?!?" It was clear he wanted some, and if this gelato can break a vegan's will power, you know its the business. So thanks a lot to Mike and Grateful Spoon. We just tried a sampler of the lime/cucumber gelato, its fixing to be amazing, as is their in house pistachio gelato. Sometimes being a "large mammal" has its advantages, like when I can pack it away at Grateful Spoon! read more

Quality gelato: cost is worth it, flavors, location, presentation, vegan flavors. Only problem to me is the customer service is NOT consistantly the most cheery, should be for $3 a scoop. Plus they used to have there own shop spot, now unfortunately you have to wait in long LGO line. read more

As a regular patron of Arlecchino Gelateria, I had high hopes for Grateful Spoon. I have been there 3 times now, wanted to make sure I gave it a chance, and I must say I will not be going back. The quality, flavor, and texture of the Gelato has changed. All of them look melted, and they completely melt in your cup before you can even walk out the door. The fact that they are comparing the flavors to that of the previous owners is not helping them by any means. The "Hazelnut" is just not the same as the "Nocciola"... To top it all off, last night I pulled a long, blonde HAIR out of my Hazelnut gelato!!! The poor girl behind the counter was so embarrassed and I was very disturbed. However, she did give me my money back, and was very professional about it. Looks like I will need to find a new solution to my sweet tooth. Arlecchino, you will be missed! As will Boris and the rest of the crew. read more

Yum. Really. Try the Pistachio, it'll change your life. You may search the city for another one like it, and you will fail. You'll keep going back to Grateful Spoon, again and again, unable to get the taste of Pistachio gelato off your mind. read more

Had a nice after dinner treat on 725/10. My daughter had a scoop of strawberry, I had 2 scoops (peanut butter and coconut), and our friend has 2 scoops (peanut butter and dolche leche (i think)). The service was wonderfulThe cashier even gave my daughter a pink spoon (she is 4) when she whined about wanting a pink one. The gelato was refreshing and cooled us down. I would defintely go here again before the Gelato Spot. read more

Hands down, the best homemade waffle cones in the Valley! My husband and I will drive the 20ish minutes for dessert because we can't seem to find any place we like better. The salted caramel gelato is divine! And if you're not in the mood for gelato, I recommend the salted chocolate chip cookie - just the right blend of salt and sugar. The workers are always super friendly, and they let you try as many flavors as you want. :) read more

Love the gelato! The creaminess and luxury that you wanna find in gelato you will find it here. They give you options if you are vegan too, with lots of variety on the gelato. Tried 3 different option, the chocolate classic, vanilla and banana caramel. The chocolate and vanilla leaves the most impression for me as I found the banana caramel is too sweet. It's one good gelato experience! read more

Very little is better than this place; seriously. That said, since hands have changed, a few things have changed that I could do without. Still, this establishment houses the best cool treat in all The Valley. Full vegan options is a great plus. You can also try any amount of flavors you like without being looked down upon. read more

I recently went to Grateful Spoon for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I am addicted to Pistachio gelato and happened to be in the area on Monday. After hearing good things from friends I decided to make an impulse stop for a quick scoop. The girl behind the counter was adorable and super friendly! She let me know that all the ingredients used in the gelato are natural and from local sources! AND they have vegan flavors as well! Though not vegan myself I can definitely appreciate when vegan items are offered as many of my friends are. I will definitely be back! Now I just need to find out if they have sugar-free flavors for my grandmother. Ha. read more

I'm giving 1 star simply because Grateful spoon in my opinion destroyed Arlecchino's gelato in less then a year ..... They claim they are keeping Arlecchino product authentic but what they have been selling since the Spangaros left taste to me like PURE COMMERCIAL AMERICANIZED GELATO I am italian married to an american, good client of Arlecchino and this "gelato" is not even close to the gelato Moreno spoiled us to and certainly is not authentic artisan italian gelato. I do miss the times when in the morning, having breakfast next door, I could smell the chocolate Moreno was cooking for his gelato with love and passion. Unfortunately we lost the only real authentic artisan gelato in Arizona, Moreno and Marina we will miss you. Dee read more

One word: Heaven. The bonus is that they have exotic toppings such as balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Yes, it's bizzare, but it's a culinary adventure. Who would have known those favors go together?! The only tragedy is that I can't fit all the flavors I like in one cup! read more
