Cute ice cream shop with some yummy ice cream! I came with a friend last night and it was great. The employee was friendly as he welcomed us in and gave us the 411 on how it worked. We placed our order on the iPad and was told it would be a few minutes. Our concoctions were then made and and we even had a brief smoke show. Both of our choices were delicious. I had ordered the red velvet in a waffle cup and my friend had the flintstones in a small cup. The inside was clean and its well decorated. read more

I do love ice cream, but when I saw this was made with liquid nitrogen, I almost didn't go. I'm so glad I did! In fact, Nite Creamery may have changed my entire perspective on that method of making ice cream. Either that or they're just head and shoulders above. In any case, it was pretty early when I got there, so things were fairly quiet--the shop has cool vibes, though--and the guys working the counter were super nice. A particular shoutout to the MIT grad who explained the process to me and probably clocked that I wasn't super comfortable trying to order on the kiosk and offered to ring me up. You rocked, man. In any case, I ordered the Roast Malone, which gave total s'mores vibes (I do love my chocolate spectrum of flavors), and once they made it--everything is made to order here--it kind of blew me away. Not only were the flavors on point, but the texture of the ice cream--which has typically been my complaint with this type of process--was also creamy and delicious. It was so good I wouldn't have minded another one then and there (fortunately, sanity prevailed, but it was a tasty thought). If I'm back in the Phoenix area, this spot is a must-return for ice cream. read more

Parking might be a little tricky on a busy night, but there is a small parking lot behind the building that you can try. Okay, now parking aside, the shop is really cute inside with lots of room, and is aesthetically pleasing. The ice cream itself was really good too! I got the strawberry and it tasted so fresh! My sister got the waffle cone amd said it was the best one she's ever had. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely stop by again! read more

This was definitely the priciest ice cream spot I've been to but it was super delicious! Inside was very small and there weren't tables to enjoy your ice cream but there are benches! Parking was extremely difficult because their parking lot was very small and limited! They're open daily 5pm-1am Service was very welcoming and friendly. Ordering was easy and there is a kiosk you order from and the menu is located on the wall right next to it. Step 1 - Pick a scoop: 1) SOLO (one flavor) - $5.99 2) DUET (2 scoops of ONE flavor) - $9.69 3) DOUBLE BOAT (2 flavors) - $12.50 Step 2 - Choose a Waffle: Waff Cup, Nite Cone, Nite Puff, Chocolate Puff Step 3 - Select a Flavor: Strawberry Cream, Saturday Cereal, Salted Caramel Crumb, All Niter, Milk & Gold, Cactus Jacked, Pineapple Picante, The Flintstones, Thicc Mint, Roast Malone, PB Nutella, and Dolce & Banana Got the All Niter and it was coffee ice cream topped with Oreo crumbs. It was super cool seeing how they freshly make the ice cream with liquid nitrogen! The ice cream had a rich coffee flavor and it wasn't too sweet. It was super creamy and delicious! I really enjoyed the toasted marshmallow and it didn't taste too burnt. This was 9/10 Definitely recommend and would visit again! read more

I love ice cream + toasted marshmallow combo, and it was fun to see that my ice cream was made to order. It would've been better if I could try the flavor before ordering it, but still good!

Wow this was so good and I don't even like ice cream that much. My friend and I were grabbing a coffee nearby and saw this place on google maps with a perfect 5.0 rating with like 1k+ reviews or so. This immediately piqued our curiosity so we decided to walk by to check out some of their flavors. Even just stepping in the door, it smelled so good like caramel and waffles so we decided to come back for dessert after eating dinner. After seeing a few reviews raving about the Strawberry Cream, my friend and I each decided to get a scoop and I added a chocolate nite puff to mine. Although there were only 2 parties in front of us, the ice cream did take a decent amount of time to come out (~20 min) since they make everything made to order so definitely don't expect to just pop in for a quick snack especially if there's a lot of people. But, that being said when we got our ice creams, honestly I think it was worth the wait. The strawberry cream was refreshing, light, the perfect amount of sweetness, and the strawberries themselves tasted noticeably fresh too. It was so addicting to eat and not heavy at all, so by the time we were done, we both said we could've eaten another lol. I normally don't even really like ice cream and have never understood the hype but this time I really got it - the texture was perfect too (not too dense but also surprisingly barely melted by the time I was done). I will say the nite puff, although I enjoyed it, probably wasn't worth it and I'd skip next time - it was like $3 additional and I assumed that each of the round "puffs" would contain chocolate inside but I don't think any of them did and the chocolate was just concentrated within some of the flat areas in between the puffs so that was very interesting. Overall, this ice cream was delicious - my friend and I couldn't stop thinking about it the next day (and wished they sold pints), so I definitely would love to revisit and try another flavor! read more

The most expensive ice cream spot in AZ. Tried the Roasted Malone and salted caramel, both very unique flavors I've never tasted before! Loved the roast Malone with the graham crackers which is a lovely texture with the ice cream and was a bit sweet as I took each bite. The Salted Caramel was a savory ice cream with pretzel bits. I'm definitely more of a savory person so I think that was the best! Love the unique flavors but for the price and bc I'm lactose intolerant; I won't really be back here but it was a good experience! Also the parking is horrible here and definitely was a lil overstimulating. There was a bit of a wait too but the staff are very friendly. read more

Brand new artisan ice cream spot. Everything was excellent: the ice cream, the waffles, and the service. The flavors are so creative. I got the Flintstone (fruity pebbles) in a bubble waffle cup. The ice cream is made fresh to order and takes about 5 minutes. It's smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The bubble waffles (called nite puff) are on point - warm, fluffy, crispy, and a great complement to the ice cream. Staff were so friendly and helpful. There is a parking lot in the back shared with other businesses. No tables inside but plenty of seating! read more

Wow, freshly made nitrogen ice cream with unique flavors! I stopped by on a Saturday around 5pm, after parking in the free retail spots in the nearby parking garage. Izzy was super helpful and attentive to us, as newbies to the store. I picked the All-Niter, made of coffee and cream with oreo crumbs on top. I was impressed with the dense but soft texture and delicious flavor. My friend got the Strawberry Cream strawberry ice cream made with real strawberries, but I didn't try hers, so I can't speak to it. There is limited seating inside, comprised of a few benches underneath trendy arches. My only critique is how pricey it is, and I felt like the solo scoop in a cup is smaller than I'd like for $5.99. Otherwise, I'll definitely back to try more eye-catching flavors! read more

Came across this new spot when we were looking for dessert nearby! Super friendly staff and I believe they're mainly in central California and this was their first Arizona location. Everything is made to order with options of a regular or bubble waffle cone. I went for the all niter flavor with a waffle cup and it was nice. There's no tables indoor, but plenty of seating. I tried a friend's bubble waffle and it was good as well, but note since it was made fresh, it made their ice cream slightly melt quicker. I took a star off because I think it'd be fun to have 1-2 seasonal flavors and stray a bit from the traditional flavors, but that's just my nonconventional taste palette! read more

I went with the Milk and Gold which was a waffle infused ice cream topped with a caramel swirl in a waffle cone. The ice cream is made to order and it's a really cool experience to watch! The service was quick and kind. The ice cream itself was creamy and flavorful and the waffle bits in the ice cream were still crunchy! The waffle cone was fresh and had a nice snap to it! Definitely a fun late night find! So good my boyfriend kept asking for tastes of it! read more

I've had great ceremonial matcha before so I didn't think it would be a problem but for some reason I felt like my drink tasted so odd. I got their spanner matcha which was described to be salted maple flavoring. I'm not sure if it was the matcha or the maple but it had a weird aftertaste that I can seem to describe it other than an expired taste. Because the employee gave me a warning before I would go back and try something else in hopes of a better experience.

I am a a transwoman. There are not a lot of places traditionally for someone like me. Harlow's Cafe…read morehas known me only as a person and has only ever treated me with respect and kindness. The owner is a lovely man, the staff are so lovely. If I never live another day, I will carry the memories of this amazing cafe with me. EDIT: How could I forget! THE FOOD IS ALL AMAZING!!

There are places you eat at, and places that stitch themselves into your personal geography…read more Harlow's Cafe is the latter--and if you look closely while you're sipping your coffee, you can see the layers. My first visit to Harlow's was back in 1993--when Tempe still felt like a college town with rough edges and a pulse--this place went by another name: Mae West. The name change? That's a story best told over coffee and eggs, which is exactly how all good stories should be told. What never changed was the vibe: a room that quietly collected stories. You see it on the walls--old Hollywood glamour nodding to Mae West the actress, winking at you from another era, reminding you that Tempe once flirted with style and danger before developers discovered spreadsheets. And then there's the music. In the '90s and early 2000s, when the Tempe music scene was punching way above its weight, this place was part diner, part unofficial green room. Bands didn't just eat here--they held court. You'd find members of Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments, and a rotating cast of local music heroes sliding into booths, fueling up. No velvet ropes. No backstage passes. Just eggs, coffee, and the quiet understanding that everyone in the room was part of the same scene. You still feel it. The memorabilia isn't curated--it's accumulated. Earned. Like scars on a boxer. And through all of it--name changes, real estate pressure, ASU's corporate gravity well--Harlow's endured. We talked with the owners, John and Kimberly, about how Tempe's mom-and-pop joints have been steadily squeezed out by institutional money and chain logic. Harlow's survived not by scaling, but by belonging. Locals. Students. Musicians. Families. Same door, same welcome. You come here for chorizo and eggs that understand their purpose in life. For Belgian waffles that don't need reinvention. For breakfast that refuses to be ironic. But you stay because places like this are rare now--rooms where culture happened accidentally, not because someone branded it that way. Harlow's Cafe isn't just a great breakfast spot. It's a time capsule that still feeds you. A small, stubborn act of resistance. And proof that if you do the simple things right--and treat people like they matter--you just might outlast the wrecking ball.

Odd description on their Yelp "About" because this is not a rooftop view. It's on the street…read morelevel. Nonetheless, this place was a great surprise. Our group of 8 ended up here when another Tempe restaurant had a kitchen emergency and cancelled our reso an hour before dinner. Alter Ego was able to accommodate us, and we were glad they did. If you enter from the street side you'd never know you're in a hotel restaurant. It's got an upscale, classy vibe not usually seen in hotel dining. The waiter and bartender were attentive and knowledgeable. The menu wasn't huge but it was a great variety of options. Table had some salads, flatbreads, burgers and a round of butter cake desserts. Each was really, really good. Way more sophisticated plates than expected. Also had a bunch of craft cocktails, unique and well made. Sometimes the best experiences are unplanned. But you SHOULD plan to give this place a try.

I've been here a total of four times prior and never had complaints. Today was different. I…read moreunderstand the changes of seasonal menu but I just seem like the recent menu had no main concept. My boyfriend got the pizza and it tasted as if it were a frozen pizza. I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

TLDR; give this place a visit and try all the things!…read more I wish I could give this experience more than 5 stars. 10/10 most definitely recommend. I had never been here before and we decided to see if they were open (after learning on Christmas they were closed). This surpassed all expectations. The photos beforehand said that I would love this place and they were not wrong. We were immediately greeted and sat. Natiesha, our server, was extremely helpful with recommendations and attentiveness. The restaurant was cozy with great vibes and very inviting. We had management come check on us, and made sure everything was good. Now for the best part, the food. We tried the crabby omelette, the chili verde huevos rancheros, and the seasonal winter spiced monkey bread french toast. We tried the herbed potatoes and biscuit with the house made jam (please order this jam, you won't regret it), and the polenta bites. Those polenta bites were probably the best side! The huevos rancheros had a great balance of flavor and heat and tenderness in the pork. The crab on the omelette was cooked to perfection. Overall, this is a place I look forward to repeating because there is so much more on the menu to try!

But it was good maybe ate half my pancake. The server was really nice and attentive. The place was busy! But we only waited about 15mins for a table. Not bad. Always clean. The manager even did a table top checks- that's never happened before. She was walking around asking the tables how everything was.
