    Discovered literally a hidden gem in Phoenix. Tucked way back in a little development parking lot is this eclectic ice cream shop full of unique flavors. The store is very whimsical with random objects all over but it works. There is a lounge area in the back with games and a small projection screen. I ordered the kids scoop of mango sticky ice cream and a scoop of sweet cream ice cream that was really delicious. Staff was super cool and welcoming. Super fun spot that more people need to visit.

    Stopped by Lix for some cold treats after a nice dinner at Bacanora! Lix is decorated in a funky, eclectic manner. Plenty of art and things to look at. They have unique flavors that I have not seen elsewhere! I split a one scoop with two flavors which is plenty of ice cream.. I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet cream and Turkish coffee combination. Service was great too!

    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!!!!

    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.

    Shall we play a game?

    Loved loved loved this little unassuming place. We got two scoops Biscoff to share, which was plenty. Fantastic that it's all homemade and lactose free! The lounge in back is where it's at! Staff super pleasant and willing to explain for us old folks. Totally a place to return to! Ice cream was fab!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Turkish coffee was my favorite - very unique flavor with a satisfying texture. The guys at the counter were super friendly and let us try all the samples. Good selection of flavors available. There's also a super cool and funky lounge in the back where you can sit and eat your ice cream :)

    They make all of their ice cream in house.  Flavors vary.  There are lactose intolerant friendly creams available too

    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%

    Ice cream was excellent, choco taco didn't make it home without getting soggy. Mango puree was so good.

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.
