    Yummmm!
    Adriana C.

    Love us a cute ice cream spot with delicious choices! We got the strawberry ice cream which was great. The service was quick as well!

    Butter bear ice cream
    Brenna D.

    This is a hidden gem! Ice cream in a bar setting which is awesome because it's open late but the bar was quite busy when we went so waited a bit. Regardless, the wait was worth it because my butter beer ice cream was delicious and the container was cute!

    Butter pecan and cherry chip
    Yasmin T.

    A great place to stop for a sweet treat. I always love the flavor options Melt has. The service is quick and samples are encouraged! I went with the cherry chip and I loved every bite! Definitely stop here if you're in need of dessert in the downtown area :)

    Stopped in this location nestled inside Jobot coffee & bar. There weren't a ton of flavor options that excited me so I opted for a double scoop with butter pecan and vanilla bean-- you can't go wrong with either! I appreciate how they place the scoops in a take out box with a fortune cookie.

    tl;dr expect a whimsical spin on artisanal ice cream at this nested scoop shop Despite Phoenix's wide array of frozen dessert offerings, Melt has carved out a niche, unconventional brand of artisanal ice cream. The operation is tucked away inside Jobot Coffee & Bar, itself smack-dab at a busy downtown intersection off Roosevelt. The space is industrial and slightly grungy. Barebone lighting structures and exposed ductwork hang from the high, dark ceilings. Concrete extends from the unpolished floors to the structural columns. A desert sunset mural runs parallel to the long, green LED-lit bar, with the ice cream display at the far end. Patrons are posted up at assorted tables and mismatched seating, each armed with some combination of coffee, ice cream, and draught beer. Classic and contemporary hip-hop echoes around the space. A friend and I swung by Melt to satisfy a wicked weekend ice cream hankering. Unable to find a list of flavors beforehand, we were surprised and pleased upon arriving that most fell on the adventurous side. Of note, Melt only offers a single size (3 scoops of only a single flavor), so we opted for 2 orders to mix and match. After a few samples, we decided on the Mexican Elote and Cochito y Cafe. Our scoops were served in Melt's signature fashion: within a Chinese takeout box and decked with a fortune cookie topper. As a whole, the ice cream was mildly gritty and intensely flavorful without hiding behind an overly sweet facade. The elote scoops had plentiful kernels of corn, with flavors contrasted by a hint of chile. Meanwhile, the coffee 'scream was heavily spiced like a chai, with gingersnap cookie chunks mixed throughout. Service was friendly and helpful, and each takeout box (probably a half-pint of ice cream) ran a hair under $8. While I've had better and cheaper ice cream, Melt's commitment to its offbeat brand was a fun experience worthy of a visit. In the future, I definitely could see myself returning for food and a brew to pair with the funky flavors.

    Stopped in for coffee and breakfast on this cute street full of eateries. Unfortunately they weren't serving food as the chef was out but they did have donuts. And the barista was very apologetic and sweet we totally understood. The interior is nice and would be great for a date or catch up over some beer or coffee. The Americano was excellent. Super aromatic and tasted fantastic. It was cold and rainy and this was the perfect pick me up.

    A fun find on visit to city and hidden gem inside a local dive bar. Solid variety of flavors and seasonal favorites served w/ some fun, inviting charm - we turned down the tattoo offer that evening. Haha! Worth the exploratory stop when in town.

    Vegan blueberry
    Adrienne C.

    Was looking for a place to take my kids for ice cream and did not research enough. This is actually ice cream being served in a bar. They have a full dj and everything. It's pretty cool inside! The flavor options were plenty but they were close to being out of a few of them. We got vegan blueberry, a peanut brittle option, chocolate, and pink Cookie Monster. All flavors were yummy and the lady at the counter was super sweet! The ice cream was served in little Chinese food to go containers. I think they ran out because my friend got his in a cup.

    I have quite a sweet tooth so when we were walking around for first Friday on Roosevelt row, we search for a place to have dessert and this was the first spot to pop up. It's a very unique spot. You walk in and it's darker inside for that chill vibe, good music and to the left there's a display of odd in animate objects which would be an interesting IG post! To the right after you order your ice cream are a some spots to sit at if you don't want to walk around eating ice cream. Love the creativity of how the ice cream is placed in a Chinese to go box. Sometimes I get pulled in just from the packaging and this won me! The best part is that the ice cream itself was flavorful and they give heaping amounts of it! Totally shareable but if you can eat a pint of ice cream, you can have your own! You can combine flavors too! Give it a shot if your around this area and you won't be disappointed!

    Matcha ice cream with a fortune cookie - 2 scoops
    Ashley M.

    Funky little ice cream shop in downtown Phoenix. They serve their ice cream in a Chinese takeout box with a fortune cookie. They had a decent amount of choices of hard ice cream, probably around 8. I ended up picking matcha, but they had the classics like chocolate, ice cream, mint, etc. it didn't seem like much in the way of fancy choices or toppings. But the price was very reasonable and the ambiance instead was nice - it was really eccentric, dimly lit. Not too busy and a nice place to grab a scoop after some drinks!

    Definitely time for an updated review and pleased to say it's just as fantastic as ever. What was once a free standing shop it is now located inside Jobot and has been for quite some time. Service was awesome and I was able to try a few samples before deciding on the fog and goat cheese with cherry. Some of you may think that doesn't sound great, but everything worked so well together. The cherries were perfect, not over sweet and a whole and the ice cream so smooth. The containers they put the ice cream in only adds to the fun. The vibe is great and music choice on point! So fun!

    Mango sorbet and strawberry ice cream
    Caroline T.

    Great place for some ice cream on a hot day. They had some really interesting flavors. We tried the peach basil but it was a little exotic and too basil-y for my tastes. Ended up with the mango sorbet and strawberry ice cream. The strawberry was fine but the mango was amazing! It had tiny pieces of mango which were just the right level of sweetness and had a nice texture.

    Fig and cornbread (back) and green tea something... (front)
    Winnie L.

    Pro-tip: They don't let you do half scoops/two flavors per scoop even though you kind of get two scoops worth when you order one scoop anyways. Highlights: The ice cream is really good especially the fig and cornbread flavor. They usually have a good rotation of flavors, sometimes they are sickly sweet though so it's nice if they allow samples but I think they haven't been recently due to COVID. They do offer flights which is always a win in my book. Lowlights: It's pretty pricy, but the portion is generous which is why I think they charge so much. I do wish they would just lower their prices and give a smaller scoop or allow you to order two flavors within your single scoop order.

After having some dinner down the street, I came across Churn and knew I needed to come and check this place out. This small ice cream shop had a pretty big line on a Monday night when I arrived but it moved quickly and the ice cream looked dang good in the glass display. I decided on getting a two scoop waffle cone with Cookies & Mint and Milk & Cookies. The ice cream tasted super rich and super creamy, both flavours were very good. Overall, Churn is a top notch ice cream parlour and a place I would probably frequent if I lived in Phoenix. The ice cream here is great, the staff was friendly, and I really wish they had some non small and medium t-shirts because I would of left with one. Great spot.

Like literally you can walk between the businesses in the same building. I tried them for the first time during a Windsor/Churn Yelp Elite Event but have since visited Churn alone on my own afterward! I really liked the seasonal flavor milk and cookies because the chocolate chip cookie included in the ice cream is one of their cookies they serve separately anyway, so you know it's good. It had a sweet cream base. My sister and I shared a triple scoop for only $7 and satisfied the both of us. The interior is pretty small, but there's at least patio seating in the back and a bench out front. I'm excited to try other seasonal and permanent flavors in subsequent visits, but for now I love the milk and cookies too much to try anything else and would definitely return for just that!

There's so much to choose from! I got the Dubai chocolate ice cream cup. It was amazing. It came with pistachio ice cream, milk, chocolate, ice cream, whipped cream, pistachio drizzle and chocolate drizzle absolutely delicious! My husband gone butter, pecan with brownies and whipped cream, which was very tasty as well! Honestly the ice cream was good.. But for being such a fun looking ice cream shop and for being downtown Phoenix. I expected the vibe in there to be a little bit more inviting a little bit more fun and upbeat! I mean, at least some music playing! Once the other customers left, it was just my husband and I was sitting there the employees were nowhere in sight there's no music no entertainment at all inside. and outside, you can see the hustle and bustle of the nightlife which was nice! To be honest with you going to the restroom, there was music in that hall that was inviting, and there was music in the restroom that was more inviting than the actual ice cream shop! To go in get your ice cream and leave would be great. But if you want to eat inside it's just very bland very plain and very uninviting for as cool and fun as their ice cream options are I just expected the place to be a little bit more fun going. It lacked in that area for sure, but the taste of the ice cream was delicious.

Not only was it super cute inside, but they had an entire gluten-free menu for me to choose from. Like--an actual GF wonderland. I nearly cried. The guy working the counter was ridiculously nice and let us sample basically the whole store. Unlimited samples?? Don't threaten me with a good time. We were out here tasting flavors like we were on "The Bachelor: Ice Cream Edition." Now let's talk about the 'Strawberry Frappe'.I can't even describe the flavor because my brain still short-circuits when I think about it. Just trust me--it's different, it's magical, it's what Strawberry Shortcake would drink on her day off. I wanted two flavors SO badly, but the two-scoop cup was basically the size of my head. They should let people do a mini cup with two flavors... buuuut I asked nicely (with big doe eyes) and got away with it. Hehe They also had a chalkboard wall where we could sign our names, so of course we doodled like we were famous artists. Honestly, I'm expecting MoMA to call any day now. If you're visiting downtown Phoenix,go check out this ice cream spot!! Like... run. Don't walk. I'm still dreaming about it.
