Jack o' Lantern Pumpkin Bread
Juan M.

needed a little something sweet after eating everything at taco chelo so we walked over to salt & straw. we came just in time to try their halloween selection before the new month. I LOVED the jack o' lantern pumpkin bread - wish it were available year round! while selecting ice cream the server was very kind with explaining each flavor and offering samples. very nice and they keep the place clean. we got there just in time too cause right after we ordered they got full!

The apple cider flavors are out now and they're amazing! I had the vanilla apple custard tart and my friend had the apple cider donuts (can't see it from the glare in my picture). I absolutely love that they put pieces of pie crust into the ice cream itself, it gives it some extra texture. We went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty slow as we arrived but after a few minutes more people started showing up. I didn't even realize this location was here or what this area had become in recent years, it's very trendy and walkable but still not sure where good parking is as we just grabbed a 15 minute spot. The ambiance is like all S&S locations, very clean and the wood everywhere makes it seem warm and inviting. Definitely visiting more S&S in the future!

Incredible ice cream and great service. They have so many rotating flavors and everything I have tried so far has been so good. They also have a lot of very unique flavors. It's high quality, rich and creamy ice cream.

Popped in here on a Friday right before closing. Got our fav the sea salt caramel in a waffle cone. Yum!

Anything is possible at Salt & Straw I recently stopped by Salt & Straws newest location in Tempe after an ASU basketball game. The store is located on Novus Place across the street from North Italia. The store was super clean and the service was great. If you aren't sure which flavor to get, you can get as many samples as you'd like free of charge. I got the bananas foster with candied pecans and it was phenomenal. It was creamy, packed with banana flavor and packed with caramel and pecans. I'm already thinking about going back for seconds!

The people who work here are super kind and really helpful. It gives off the same vibes as the employees at Trader Joe's in a way with how cherry they are. I mainly go either the cookie dough or snickerdoodle ice cream. I think they both have their own special name but that is the flavors for the most part. I'll sometimes go for some toppings but the ice by itself is good enough. In addition I always recommend getting a waffle cone. They even let you try free samples as well so you really can't go wrong when it's time to make the purchase. Overall a really nice ice cream spot!

Don't let their old-timey decor and vibe fool you, this ice cream shop is not exactly traditional. It's actually an ice cream shop that pushes the envelope when it comes to flavors. They come up with flavor combos you'd never thought an ice cream shop would do...like Pear and Blue Cheese or Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu. How about Chocolate Pistachio Milk and Cookies? They have the guts to push the envelope on seemingly weird combos. They do have some more traditional type flavors as well. Before entering the place, you can smell the aromas of waffle-cone making and it draws you in. Everyone that works there is relatively friendly and they are very accommodating in letting you sample their creations. There's not a lot of place to sit and enjoy the Ice Cream though so be warned. A single scoop is over $6 so it's not exactly budget friendly. However, if you're looking for a once-in-a-while treat with ice cream flavors you never thought were possible, this is the place.

Say goodbye to feeling guilty about asking to taste just one more ice cream flavor before you decide. At Salt and Straw the welcoming staff invites you to try as many flavors as you want... yes! All of them if you'd like! And they mean it. And trust me. You'll want to. They feature some of the craziest flavors I have ever seen or tasted and somehow they make them work! I visited around Thanksgiving, so the featured flavors were designed to take you back to grandmas house for a big ole turkey dinner. The Parker House rolls flavor hit nostalgically for me, while my husband was brave enough to try the Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce flavor! Ultimately I settled on a classic mint chip for my cone, but not until I had enjoyed several great bites of flavors I'd never had before! This is a great place to stop with friends, family or a make it a fun date night and try a bunch of new flavors before walking out with some yummy ice cream in a delish waffle cone.

The ice cream was so good! Service was fast and super friendly. They let you sample flavors and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them, I tried a few and they were all delicious. The shop is pretty big inside with lots of space and I'm sure the line can get long. They also have pup cups in the freezer, which is a nice bonus. Will definitely be back!

The worker that helped us out and let my boyfriend and I try different flavors was amazing. Darker brunette hair. We learned this location just opened up in October. The first time I ever had salt and straw was in Oregon 8 years ago when my boyfriend took me to show around his home town. It was very nostalgic for him. Glad to see a location is open in Arizona. The brownie one and the pineapple upside-down cake are the 2 I tried. I got 1 scoop in a waffle cone. Delicious! Wonderful location and close to where we live. I would come back again!

Ice cream to go

I am constantly blown away by the mad scientist energy at Salt & Straw. They have such a knack for taking a unique combination of ingredients that shouldn't work on paper but taste like a dream in a cup. The shop itself was impeccably clean, and what really stood out was the service. My friend had a specific request to have her ice cream served in a milkshake cup; the staff handled it instantly without a big debate or hassle. It's those small wins that make a local spot feel like home. Now the pear and blue cheese ice cream, is a masterpiece. It sounds daring, but the sweetness of the pear perfectly balances the savory from the cheese. Truly delightful. The death by chocolate cake, this one was for the chocolate lover in me. This place is easily 5/5. See you soon Salt & Straw!

Great location with super friendly employees! Stopped by last night with friends and we had a good experience. The employee was super friendly and gave us as many samples as we wanted. I ordered off their seasonal Halloween menu and it was pretty good. Double Bubble Toil and Trouble (v) - Blend of pineapple, banana, and pear in coconut cream, spiced with cinnamon and vanilla.

Salt and straw was a great try, but not something I would come back to. Personally I'm more of a Oberweis Ice Cream kind of person, so this ice cream didn't quite meet my expectations. The restaurant is nice and the people behind the counter are great. They offered me a sample of a few flavors as well. Overall, not my taste but a great place.

In the past, Sparky's was once a Cold Stone Creamery. Even though it's Sparky's now, the ice cream…read moreis still delicious. I have been there many times, and it is convenient as I work within walking distance of Sparky's. Whenever I am walking along Mill Avenue and am craving some ice cream, Sparky's is one of my main stops in the area. The ice cream is delicious. Some of my favorite flavors are Batter in Bed and Banana Cream Pie. However, I have had just about every flavor that they serve, and all of them are delicious in their own ways. I like the pleasant atmosphere. Nice and low-key place where you can relax and enjoy your ice cream. The general manager, Connor, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He is always a pleasure to talk to whenever I have some time for a friendly conversation during my lunch break at work. Every time I stop by, he ensures I feel welcome and right at home. Another bonus is that they have a rewards program, which offers five dollars off once you accumulate enough points. I recommend it to anyone in the Downtown Tempe area who is looking for a delicious ice cream treat.

This place is mom & pop type cold stone creamery…read more Friendly staff, lots of dessert options: waffles, smoothies, mix in ice cream options, tons of different cones, dessert pretzels. I chose the small strawberry shortcake with a Oreo waffle cone. It was $10 and way too big! The $2.50 Oreo cone was good but so filling & rich. The ice cream was good but the shortcake pieces were too big and frozen, hard to eat. Loved the whip cream finish on top tho!

A Nostalgic, Must-Visit Dessert Destination in Old Town Scottsdale…read more Our party of six visited the Sugar Bowl for dessert following a friend's birthday dinner. Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream. It was as delicious as I remembered.
