    Nana's Banana Puddin- Our favorite
    Moncerrath N.

    Petersen's Ice Cream offers great tasting ice cream flavors. We were able to sample a few of their flavors. The staff were pleasant and helped us learn about their menu. They informed us they list all their ice cream flavors on the menu but rotate the flavors they offer in store. I like how all their ice cream flavors have fun names, they lists what they are made up of and allergens. We learned they have their original store in Downtown Gilbert. They offer indoor and outside seating. The inside is bright, pink and gives a vintage ice cream parlor vibes. Our favorite flavor was the Nana's Banana Puddin- it's made of banana pudding ice cream swirled with marshmallow crème and vanilla cookies.

    Partially full milkshake - that's before I drank any.

    $9 for an ok sized milkshake that was super milky and not even full. Got a mint shake and didn't even taste like mint bc there was so much milk in it and see how "full" it was.

    Cute little ice cream shop. The Sunday my husband got was really good and my amaretto cherry ice cream was good but the cake cone was stale.

The service was friendly and efficient even though they were busy. This was my first time. Next time I'm going to try the coffee flight. I had the banana bread latte with almond milk. It was delicious. The owner was interactive with the customers, open to feedback and very accommodating. It was fun to see all the activities they have planned for the month. I will definitely go back! I'm not a big beer drinker so I love the sampling set up they have! Maybe I'll discover just the one I want.

I love the pistachio shaken cold brew but I sub the strawberry cold foam with pistachio cold foam- it's AMAZING!! I love my IPAs.. so it's nice to have a place to experiment different craft IPAs. We love the events they offer and will take advantage of them as they suit my husband and I having little ones. Love the games and most importantly the BOOKS!! Thank you for offering books! We are a family of bookworms and more places need to offer this for the littles! As for food... it's more of a quick grab with a long wait. Meaning the quality isn't why we come lol. I got my son a cupcake and it was so dry and hard when I went to break it apart for him... definitely didn't cash in the Mom tax. We've had the wings and pretzel bites and it was so-so... not something to rave about. This is the spot to come when your kiddo is in dance class and you need downtime to work on the laptop or make it a full family thing with games and book-it-up to graze. I love this concept and I appreciate it being so close to home and not having to drive to Chandler or Mesa for nice vibes.

When entering, you see how cute the inside is which include booths with nooks. There's also a variety of table top games to play while you're enjoying your boba too.

I don't like popping boba and I swapped it for regular boba. It was so tasty and beautiful. I highly recommend this one. I also tried some of the coffee boba drink my boyfriend got and his was tasty too. The employees there today were very nice and helpful as well.

Decor is chic and there's plenty of seating. Tukan Tea offers a wide range of drinks, including classic milk teas, fruity teas, creamy milkshakes, and specialty coffee. You can place your order on the touchscreen by the entrance or with a staff member behind the counter. I ordered a strawberry matcha with almond milk and boba. I appreciate that Tukan uses premium ceremonial grade matcha. You can see it in the color and consistency. I chose 50% sweetness, which is my go-to and it was just right for me!

Just make sure to get there early, because they do sell out of the popular flavors. It's the perfect little outing too grab a cupcake and take a stroll through the beautiful Agritopia gardens.

The food is legitimately really good, always piping hot, delicious, and their coffee is excellent. But man... it is getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that this place desperately wants to be Scottsdale without actually being in Scottsdale. There is a level of pretentiousness walking through here that deserves its own parking space. People are not just coming in for breakfast they are coming in to be perceived. I am half expecting someone to walk in and announce, "Sorry I am late, my personal brand meeting ran long." And the gym clothes... THE GYM CLOTHES. I work out too. I just do not feel the need to wear my workout clothes everywhere like I am on my way to the Olympics. Meanwhile, people are walking around here dressed like they just completed a 90-minute HIIT class, despite the fact that their biggest athletic accomplishment today was finding a parking spot. And listen, I am all for confidence. Wear what you want. But some things should remain between you, your mirror, and your close friends. Not all body part's you own need to make a public appearance. At this point, their burritos are more covered up than some of the customers. Their dress code is now: Athleisure + confidence + absolutely no fear of exposing an entire area of their body. Anyway... back to why we are actually here: THE FOOD. It's fantastic. Always hot, always delicious, and the coffee never disappoints. That is what keeps bringing us back. But if they start reserving more of the already-limited seating for the Scottsdale Influencer Association, I may have to draw the line and take my business elsewhere. I came for a burrito--not a live-action audition for Real Housewives of Gilbert. Great food. Great coffee. Just please keep the Scottsdale cosplay, reserved-table nonsense, and unsolicited anatomy exhibits to a minimum.

The burrito was huge, definitely big enough to share, and they were happy to cut it in half for us. The chipotle aioli took it straight to flavor town and made taking a break between bites a challenge. Wash it down with a dirty chai and your Saturday morning is pretty much complete. I also liked that the burritos are listed in order of popularity, which makes choosing a little easier if it's your first visit. They have free WiFi too, so it's a nice spot to hang out for a bit after breakfast. My only small gripe is that extra salsa will cost you 80 cents. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing if you like a little extra with your burrito. Morning Kick started as a food truck, and luckily for us, they decided to level things up with a permanent spot. You still get that fun, casual feel, but now you can order at the counter, grab a seat, and enjoy everything in a bright, uplifting atmosphere. Great food, great energy, and a place that just feels good to hang out in. We'll be back. Over and over again.
