    Very unique ice cream! Was not expecting to like this place but went with my girlfriend anyways and honestly was surprised by how good it tasted. Service was okay, the girl behind the counter didn't say much but was kind. Love the vibe of the restaurant though, very low light / neon greenery vibes. Not a vegan ice cream guy but honestly will probably comeback at some point.

    Oynx Coconut ($9) was just ok
    Christy C.

    This was a tiny ice cream shop located in a small plaza Parking was limited since their parking lot didn't have many spots and the lot is shared with a few other businesses. However, there is street parking available Service was friendly and welcoming. Pricing was a little expensive. Expect to pay $9 for a scoop of ice cream and matcha/coffee drinks were $4-$7 Got the Ube & Thai Tea Soft Serve ($9) - the ice cream was very sweet and creamy. The flavor of ube was quite subtle. For $9 for a scoop of ice cream, I would have expected it to have a richer ube flavor. The Thai Tea was just as disappointing and couldn't taste the flavor of Thai tea at all. This was 6/10 The Oynx Coconut ($9) was very sweet and didn't have much of a coconut flavor. It was extremely black so expect to have a black tongue after! This was 6/10 Most likely won't return or recommend unfortunately.

    When visiting my son in Arizona the first thing I said was where are we eating? Surprising the first thing he said was ice cream at ONYX ice cream. After eating Ramen at Mensho this was only a minute walk away as it is the same complex. There are a few more restaurants in this complex and I recommend having dessert here after dinner. The inside had a cool vibe with neon lights and a digital menu board. All of the flavors are soft serve and they rotate flavors. They have something unique here which I never saw before. There is an option of getting your cone torched for only $2! I was extremely interested and the young lady working here described what it was and I was sold. She bastes the cone with marshmallow and then hits it with the torch. I paired this with the Ube ice cream and it was a great combination. There is some seating in the shop and we ate here. I really enjoyed my Ube with the torched cone and would come back here. My son was also correct that this was my favorite bite during my short trip to Phoenix!

    I dream about this ice cream!!! Checked it out while I was in town and it was incredible!! Barista/Server was super sweet and friendly. Love the flavors and coffee was great too! Great pick me up before we headed to the airport.

    Been going here for the past few months and it has been consistently good. Their ube js one of the best in the valley imo. The texture is also really nice. Their menu does have rotation from time to time from yuzu to thai tea and I recommend asking for a sample.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon while out doing a little bit of shopping. I saw this spot had some unique ice cream flavors and black ice cream cones, so we wanted to try it out. The Ube/Onyx Coconut swirl was a delicious flavor combo, the ice cream itself was just the right consistency and really hit the spot on a hot day. The cones were a bit hard, so I think if we stop by again three our of the four of us would get a cup instead. The addition of adding on toasted marshmallows is a nice touch, it smelled great and my mom loved it on her cone. My daughter tried the sea salt. It was pretty tasty as well, the salt wasn't overpowering. The décor inside is fun & cozy, when we stopped by there was no one else there so we had our choice of seating.

    The soft serve here is very good but I wasn't super in love with the iced onyx matcha I'd gotten (though it came highly recommended by the server). It was very floral-y and kind of bitter. The matcha flavors didn't come through very well for my tastes. Would come back for ice cream if I was in the area! If you're sensitive to food dyes or colorings you may want to avoid this place though!

    Ube + Onyx Coconut Ice Cream with Toasted Marshmallow Cone

    ONYX Ice Cream is serving up unique and flavorful ice cream in the Phoenix area. This spot is located in a smaller plaza with some parking spots. There is also additional street parking and parking in nearby lots as well. Inside, they have a colorful and modern setup with a couple tables for seating. For their menu, they have their current ice cream flavors along with some drink options too. Wifey and I stopped by to briefly escape the AZ heat and opted for the Ube + Onyx Coconut Ice Cream with the Toasted Marshmallow Blackened Cone. Overall, we enjoyed the light and refreshing flavors of the ice cream. This was a great place to come grab a sweet treat to escape the heat for a while. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Make sure to stay connected with their social media to see when they rotate and introduce different flavors!

    This place was fun, I really loved the colorful, modern decor around the shop. I came here with a friend on a Tuesday evening, and we were the only ones there. The owner was there and answered all of our questions and made some recommendations too! I decided to try the Thai Tea and Ube combined flavors. I also got the burnt marshmallow topping on the cone and that was really delicious! The ice cream was good! I also ordered the saguaro flavored ice cream to go, which was dairy free and that was actually my favorite flavor! There was a courtyard outside where people could hang out. Parking was available out front, but it might be harder to find parking when it's busier. Can't wait to come back!

    I have to leave another five star review for this place! The service here is always on point! The ice cream - I literally dream about and crave! I had he Uber torched cone this time, so so yummy This place is very instagrammable and cutesie Definitely bring your friends and family here. No one will leave disappointed

    Onyx coconut with a toasted cone
    Mark B.

    Very unique soft serve ice cream. The onyx coconut is delicious, especially with the toasted marshmallow on the cone. The cashier flambéed the marshmallow right in front of us which was very cool to watch. There are several tables inside to eat your sweet treat out of the hot Phoenix sun.

    5 stars for the yummiest ice cream! Great new spot offering unique flavors such as UBE! My Hawaiian roots were so excited -- I love ube (purple yam) in desserts! We also tried the coconut, saguaro, and sea salt flavors -- all were delicious! The saguaro and sea salt swirl was bright and refreshing. The ube and coconut swirl was super creamy and comforting. The colors of the ice cream are so much fun and absolutely instagram-worthy (including their cute shop itself). Service was very kind and quick. Will be visiting again for sure!

    Nicole B.

    Amazing service and delicious ice cream. We arrived around 3:30pm and it wasn't too busy inside but then a huge group arrived after us and really crowded us out. It made waiting/ordering super uncomfortable because both the kids and the adults did not understand personal space. The inside is super cool with funky 80s electric vibes. The space is super small, felt like a hallway closet. Needs a better line system. I ordered the ube and coconut swirl in a cone with toasted marshmallow fluff on the cone. The cone was so unique and so good. Really complimented the ice cream. The Ube x coconut was good but really cancelled out each other's flavors. My husband got just the Ube and I'd go with a single flavor. I would come back because the flavors are so unique.

The store was well decorated, very bright & colorful -- and the seating was quite comfortable (the whicker seats anyway). We ordered a wide array of savory & sweets. The salad needed more dressing, a few of the savory pastries were a bit chewy (had they been out awhile, maybe?), and most of the sweets were decent. The polite gal behind the counter offered to warm up the savory pastries but we declined -- I believe the heat would have made them more chewy. It was a bummer we didn't enjoy the food more.

The 11-Year Flashback: I looked back at my review from 11 years ago when I docked them a star for the "nightmare parking." Back then, I was a "to-go" only person who never envisioned myself as a laptop-hipster hanging out. Well, times change! I'm bumping them up to 5 stars now.

I went with a Reposado base instead of the typical vodka, and it was stellar. With two full bars in addition to the coffee and pastry bar, craft drinks truly abound here!
