The ice cream here is delicious and the customer service is great. It's nice that you can smoke the ice cream flavors before deciding. The mango sticky rice is to die for. The decor is super cute too. read more

Man....this place deserves 5 stars. I was here visiting a friend and we went here everyday for a sweet treat. The ice cream was soooooooo good. Well worth the drive and money to try this ice cream. I believe everything here is lactose free, which is perfect for my lactose intolerant friends. They also have vegan flavors which was also a plus! The service here was welcoming and kind! They have plenty of seating in the back which is almost like a speakeasy style area, with plenty of games to play with friends. Thank you so much!!!! read more

I've been wanting to check out a locally owned ice cream spot for a while, and a friend recommended Lix Uptown. I stopped by around 9 PM, and wow this place is unlike any ice cream shop I've ever been to. It has a super cool, vintage thrifted vibe with nostalgic pieces everywhere you look. Every corner has something that'll catch your eye and take you back in time. Honestly, it almost feels like a speakeasy but for dessert lovers, with cozy little seating areas set under neon lights. When I visited, they offered about a dozen ice cream flavors in three different sizes, plus a nice variety of toppings and add-ons. My only small critique would be that if you order add-ons, they serve them in a separate cup instead of putting everything together. Maybe slightly larger cups would solve that but honestly, it's not a total dealbreaker. The ice cream itself was delicious! The staff was great too. The employee helping us was super friendly and patient, especially since I was having a hard time deciding what to get. There was also someone who seemed like the owner or manager who stopped by just to say hi and make sure we were enjoying ourselves, which was a nice touch. If you're looking to support a local business and want an ice cream experience that's totally different from the usual chain spots, I'd definitely recommend checking out Lix Uptown. read more

Best ice cream place in the valley. Most is gf, and just tastes like creamy homemade ice cream. The inside has the best vibe ever, and the friendly owner is usually working inside making magic. It's kind of ducked off in the back, 7th Ave and Osborn. read more

Tried to go and try this place Saturday at 12:30pm and they are closed even though the hours say open Disappointing read more

A little on the sweet side for me, but the flavor variety is solid and the owners are very nice. They have a cool decorated lounge in the back to hang out in. They were out of most popular flavors when we were there, but the dark chocolate and birthday were pretty good. The woman working there scooped heavy too, great portions. read more

wow this place looked unique from just the outside but when you walk in it gets even better, i love how the employee greeted us right away and called us friends, he was smiling the entire time and seemed to love his job, he let us try about 4 different flavors and they were all yummy and creamy, you can really taste the quality and they are all lactose free cause the owner is lactose intolerant which i thought was cool, the layout makes you feel like you're in that 70s show read more

This place sells dairy free ice cream, and they have new flavors everyday! There is so many unique and interesting flavors to choose from, I tried their sticky rice mango and it was amazing. Their peanut butter recess was also amazing! The inside of the place has a really unique decoration and there is more seating at the back and at the front of the restaurant. read more

Fun place in Phoenix to grab an ice cream treat. I used to come to this location often back when it was Dark Hall Coffee. Lix serves scratch-made lactose-free ice cream. Their ice cream is really good. I have been on a Turkish coffee kick since I visited Turkey last year. I was excited to see that they offered that flavor here along with a number of other fun flavors. What is really fun about Lix Ice Cream is the back room. There is so much cool nostalgic stuff back there like old arcade games, a slot machine, stuffed animals and cool lighting. There are plenty of couches to relax on if you want to hang out and enjoy your ice cream while here. Lix Ice Cream opens late if you have that late-night craving for something sweet. read more

I've been trying my best to get back to Yelp to write my review about this place. So odd! I've been fiddling with AI to help me with a lot of things. I also try asking Siri and Google questions to help me while I'm driving. So insert AI prompts: "Hey Siri, please help me find a good place for ice cream with more than 4 Stars on Yelp...." Lix was at the top of the list returned. What I love about this prompt is that it inserted a place I'd never heard of that is now in my rotation of fun places! Yay for AI! I had no idea this place would be so cool! If you are interested in a cool night out with friends to just socialize, eat home made ice cream and play board games, Lix is your spot! I couldn't paint the beauty of this shop with words, check out my pictures and the video and I promise, you'll be adding Lix to your frequent rotation too! Return Factor: 100% read more

Ok so had no idea I'd find what we did at Lix ice cream. It was such a cool spot with amazing flavors of ice cream, an abundance of topping choices but what makes it all even better is the ambiance of the place! The vibes are giving 80s 90s nostalgia so so hard - it just took me immediately back to feel good times. Who doesn't want to enjoy ice cream where it feels so good and looks so cool? This would be an awesome spot to bring a date or even get together for a book club or something. Beyond the counter in the back there is a whole other room with couches and seating and it's just soooooo cool. All the folks working there were super pleasant and they were so nice to us even though we walked in about 20 minutes before they were set to close. We wouldn't have even realized how magical it was in the back had they not shared with us that it was open / available. They also seem to sell pints to take home of their delights, which I will probably grab next time. Flavors were insane - I ended up with snickerdoodle and pistachio, both were perfect, and my gf had biscoff and bananas fosters and both were also SO SO DELICIOUS. We didn't even get to try the toppings but I'll definitely be back and cannot wait! read more

This place was so weird and so great. The ice cream flavors were unique and every single one was outstanding even if it didn't sound good initially. Go try this place!!! The employees and owner were all so kind and it's a fun little hangout in the back. What a hidden gem! read more

I was so excited to eat my ice cream I didn't take a picture. But I had one scoop ($6) but you can get two flavors and this was an insanely huge "one scoop" size. I had French toast and pb & j, loved them (both obviously gluten free, so nice!) Flavors change day to day and all are homemade. They were smooth and fresh, definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. There was also mango sticky rice, sweet cream, chocolate dank, strawberry quick, cupcake, and Turkish coffee all gf (the flavors I remember). Also others I couldn't have so I chose not to remember them LOL. But they looked amazing The place itself is so frickin cool and vibey. Lots of colors and patterns and 80's decorations and it's a mish mosh but it all works so well. Lix is great with a little group because there's games!! I played Jenga with my boyfriend, so fun. read more

8.3.24: Perfect way to spend a 113 degree Saturday! Going to see the movie, Fly Me to the Moon, followed by ice cream treat! We went to Lix at The Royale but it was closed, so that location is no longer in operation. We hit the original location at 7th Ave & Osborn. So many "new" flavors...or new to me! Every day there's 12 to choose from - I can't remember all of Saturdays but here's a few: :) Biscoff Biotch :) Carrot Ginger :) Dank Dark Chocolate :) Ferocious Chocolate (Nutella & Ferrar Roche Chocolates) :) Lieu Lieu Lemon (had a whole Lemon PIE in there) :) Mango Sticky Rice :) Strawberry Ginger Lemonade :) Strawberry Quick :) Turkish Coffee :) White Peach Sorbet I chose the refreshing Lieu Lieu Lemon - soooooooo good. And friend got a combo cup. Thanks, Rich, for all the crazy creative concoctions y'all create!!! read more

We decided to give this place a try on a whim! Allegedly they've been here 2 years and I'm shocked I never heard of them. It is just a fun, eccentric vibe inside and has a cute lounge that looks like the setting of a music video. Payton, the girl who helped us, was so sweet and helpful. The ice cream was great! They change their flavors everyday so that's a plus! I believe she also said they were all dairy free, which is even better. I have the sweet cream and mango sticky rice and my boyfriend had the coconut cream and biscoff. 2 scoops is MASSIVE, but for 8$ I would think so. The sweet cream and cone tasted like a frosted flake, which I appreciated. The mango sticky rice definitely had the right consistency if you know what I mean. Both flavors were delicious. This place is expensive for ice cream. We paid 20$ for 2 scoops and one cone, which is a hefty price tag. I definitely think they are worth checking out and would come back! Such a cool place. read more

Ambiance was fantastic. Service was good, kinda weird/kitschy. But... the ice cream was subpar. Dir being ranked on the top 100 list i was really looking forward to trying this spot out. Maybe i don't understand ice creams but this was just average ice cream. We got to sample all the flavors that day and ended up getting custom ice cream cookie sandwhiches. Ice cream is def not bad by any means but nothing i would rave about. read more

Loved the Rosemary Butter Pecan so much that I bought a pint to take home. Other great flavors are Turkish Coffee, and Mango and Sticky Rice. There is additional lounge seating in the back. Love the quirky, coloful, and fun decor throughout. All of the ice cream is made in house by the owner. Also, late hours and decent amount of parking available. read more

A delightful experience. Flavors are curated -- they care about the flavors and textures of what they serve - and it shows! Fun, bohemian shop to hang out and enjoy your cold, creamy treats. Definitely worth a visit read more

What a fun place! I was craving a little sweet and saw this was nearby and had great reviews. The young lady working was very helpful and told us all about the different flavors and provided samples. The ice creams are made there and are essentially lactose free. They also have some vegan options. I expected to get the mango that had coconut milk, but after sampling ended up doing half of a lemon one that had like lemon pie in it, and half a Strawberry Quik flavor. In the back is a really cute and eclectic area to hang out, play games, and enjoy your ice cream. This was really fun and relaxing! There were quite a few games and the TV was playing some channel that had entertaining video clips - brilliant! This area doesn't have windows so it's a little dark and felt like a great place to escape the heat. read more

What a funky little ice cream spot! My sister told me about this place because they have lactose-free ice cream options and they have unique flavors. We came late at night so there wasn't much left, but luckily I was able to get the Mango Sticky Rice ice cream (a flavor I haven't seen before and was excited about because I love mango sticky rice!). There is so much to look at here and there's even more in the back of the shop. Very cool and would love to try more flavors next time! read more

Exceptional to say the least! This ice cream spot nailed it last night -- we came in around 8 pm after dinner. It is a super cute ice cream shop with eclectic decor. All of their ice creams are LACTOSE FREE and made in-house. Flavors rotate daily generally. I had the snickerdoodle, my daughter got chocolate, boyfriend got coconut cream pie and my sister got sweet cream. All of the ice creams were excellent -- super creamy and delicious. And the best part is since they have no lactose, I can enjoy it even more! The owner was present and very kind, as were all of the employees. There is a cute little sitting area if you walk into the back and the bathroom is a super fun disco room! You'll see what I mean when you visit. I am only sad that we didn't discover this place sooner. read more

Place is still delicious a year later. Their flavors exotic and fun. Super creamy ice cream even though they are lactose free. Honestly you'll like this more than regular ice cream.
