If there's one thing you do, get the carrot cake Ice cream here. Oh my god. Maybe the best tasting ice cream flavor I've ever had. Here for vacation and now we feel like we need to go back and try the banana pudding flavor bc if it's anything like the carrot cake one then I may never leave scoop and joy We got one scoop in cups and the serving was massive. My kids loved the cute little faces they made, too!

Scoop and Joy is definitely a favorite of mine. The plaza it's located in has a lot of parking and is very kid friendly. There is a beautiful water fountain right outside of the store with lots of outdoor seating. Service is always prompt, kind and great. They can make a "surprise" which is a cute face made out of other treats on your ice cream. The ice cream itself is delicious as well, some of the best and creamiest I've had!

Originally we were looking for tasty baked goods. Their website boasted banana bread, cupcakes, brownies, cookies and cake slices! I understand that in the evening stock would be low but not wiped out. :( I thought, since we drove all the way to this quaint shoppe we may as well try ice cream instead. I went with a scoop of the "Bear Claw" ice cream for $4.63 in a cake cone .80. It had a unique combination of crunchy cashews and swirls of caramel in a rich dark chocolate ice cream. It wasn't the "Bear claw" Danish pastry but it was good!! TIP: if the servers ask if you want a surprise, say YES! You'll get a bonus "face" on your treat! Mine was made with marshmallows, chocolate chips, cereal and cookie pieces. I thought it was playful and fun!

My friends and I stopped by mid-day for a little sweet treat and stumbled upon this ice cream shop that was nearby. Needless to say, Scoop and Joy did indeed fill us up with so much joy! As we walked in, we were greeted with the sweetest, delicious smells that resembled freshly baked waffle cones and the most whimsical interior, including delightful striped pink walls and teal booths. They had so many flavors to choose from and we sampled quite a few of them (all super good). We each got medium size cups (included 2 flavors because it was so hard to choose just one). I got a scoop of bear claws (dark chocolate ice cream swirled with a heavy caramel and loaded with chocolate-coated cashews) and the apple crisp (cinnamon-apple with oatmeal crisp and brown Betty swirl). We were asked if we wanted a surprise... and of course, we will never pass on a good surprise. They crafted us the most adorable ice cream scoops with faces on them! We think they resemble us perfectly... Just the most perfect fun little treat. We left happy and the service could not be better.

This is not your typical run of the mill ice cream shop. They sell more than just ice cream and milkshakes. They also sell dole whip, smoothies, coffee, and boba beverages, alongside a small selection of baked goods. For their ice cream flavors, they offer a good selection of classic and unique flavors ranging from not too sweet to tooth achingly sweet. On this visit, we decided to get a small cup of raspberry rendezvous ice cream and a cup of the classic pineapple dole whip. Both were enjoyable and fulfilled our sweet tooth craving. The service was fast and efficient. They had plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors. Overall, not bad for a quaint little ice cream shop!

Cute ice cream shop with a variety of ice creams. We tried the pistachio, coffee, coconut and this turtle ice cream and it was the winner.

Some of the best hand dipped ice cream I've had. apparently sourced from Michigan Hudsonville Ice Cream. The owner happened to be working and was very friendly and made the experience even better. We stopped by after a cubs spring training game. it was a quick 3 min drive from the highway and well worth it! highly recommend this spot!

Best ice cream shop. Our kids loved the little characters the ice cream is decorated with. The ice cream was some of the best we've had. They have a great variety of flavors. Cones too, including Oreo crusted, lavender cones, birthday cake. Will have to try the baked goods. And the owner was the best part, very friendly. We'll be back!

Jack C.

This is a cute little intimate ice cream shop. They have a lot of different flavors. After tasting them all we got 3 scoops of one of the coconut, peanut butter, and one of the coffee-based creations. The two girls working there are friendly and nice. They also make the scoops into a "surprise" which is a little creation they do with different toppings. I would visit again.

Tl;dr one of the best ice creams in the Valley. Really inspiring flavors and super friendly to boot. I'm gonna be honest, the first time I had it wasn't sure what to think, remember the macapuno being solid. But after having had much more ice cream around the US, these guys are up there. A wide variety of flavors but also some more adventurous ones, a lot with an Asian palate. When I saw them years ago they did just ice cream, milk shakes, the like. Now they got baked goods like cakes, boba tea, hell they even got Dole Whip! Literally something for every palate, and with plenty of vegan options likely every diet too. Some of my faves include the Lemon Creamsicle and the Cookie Monster. This lot is packed but really fun for the whole family - if they ask if you want a surprise and you have kids, say yes!

"1,000 stars" is what my six-year-old daughter said she'd rate Scoop and Joy. It's such a fun ice cream shop! They have lots of flavors of ice cream and lots of unique cones like pretzel cones, chocolate chip cones, and more. When you order, the staff ask if you want the "surprise." Say yes. They will create an animal or face from candy like little cookies, M&Ms, and more. My daughter got such a kick out of it!

Look at this little guy!

Yummy, decadent and beautifully presented ice cream! Friendly service and gorgeous atmosphere. What else can you ask for?

Always get a surprise :)

Lappert's ice-cream! I first had this brand of ice-cream in Palm Springs where you see lots of advertisements for their Disneyland Dole whip. This location has the ice cream and the dole whip. My favorite flavor is their Date Casablanca, it is so good! I don't even like dates but in the ice cream it tastes like some kind of delicious caramel cookie crumble. What is unique to this location is they always ask you if you want a surprise. This will be some kind of animal face creation on top of your ice cream. The ingredients they use for this include marshmallows, nilla wafer cookies, and chocolate chips. To complete the experience get the Date Casablanca in a wafer cone, its the perfect combination. A very popular location the staff is quick, friendly and efficient. Come for the scoop, leave with joy.

We have an egg allergy but don't need full vegan - do the ice creams contain eggs?

I heard you guys have an ice cream challenge?

Is Scoop and Joy closed permanently? We love this place

Do they have dairy free ice cream options?

I found myself in the area one Sunday afternoon and decided to try a new-to-me coffee shop. I did a…read morequick Yelp search and landed on Firefly. Firefly was busy and there was a pop-up outside at the time of my visit. The interior is vibey and has a great ambiance. There are plenty of seating. They also have a small market with local goods for sale. The staff greeted me when I made it to the counter. I ordered an iced firefly glow latte, which is one of their house specials. It comes with espresso, vanilla, honey, cinnamon, sea salt, and Jigsaw collagen boost. The collagen boost adds 8g of protein, which is a nice addition. I really enjoyed the drink. My go-to order is a honey cinnamon latte, and the firefly glow is basically the same with some fun additions. I also purchased a half gallon of local raw milk for my teenage son. He's been on a raw milk kick and was very grateful when I brought it home. I would definitely return!

The flavors of the Holy Kakow are what's really inconsistent and often lacking for me. I've tried a few lattes and I can confidently say the Holy Kakow just tastes kind of bunk... unless we have a washing mishap between bottle refills or frothing pitchers/cups. I tried an iced americano with the orange and it was amazing but the pumpkin, caramel apple, and pecan tasted...soapy? If at all possible, I wish Firefly would make their flavors in house or switch brands because the flavors over power the organic, mold free, high quality that we're going for in a really negative way :(

My previous employer even rented one of their coffee machines for the office, and the coffee was a huge upgrade from the Keurig we had before. My coworker at my current job also raves about this place and insisted it's one of the best spots in town for coffee. I finally had the chance to stop by today while I was in the area. I ordered the iced chai latte, the iced Ethiopian Honey Toddy, and the breakfast burrito, which came with a small side of fresh fruit (watermelon and cantaloupe). The breakfast burrito was good, though nothing particularly memorable. The real standout was the coffee--both drinks were delicious and definitely lived up to the hype. The flavors were smooth, well-balanced, and easy to enjoy. Overall, if you're looking for excellent coffee, this place is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks.

I can't believe that my coffee is normally six dollars and some cents and then to add some caramel it immediately goes up to almost $10. This is unbelievable when Dutch Bros is right across the street When you speak to the manager Avery she is extremely confrontational with the looks on her face that she gives you and just her overall attitude how very unprofessional. I feel like when she is making the coffee she intentionally makes it terrible. And then when you go back with your $10 coffee, it is such an inconvenience for her to fix it as if I'm making it up that the coffee was terrible. It is so terribly sad as I now have been coming to this location for quite some time. Again, thank God Dutch Bro is right across Across The Street. they don't rip you off and their employees are extremely wonderful. And also make the same drink (different name )that I get at Black Rock, Dutch Bros can make as well. For six dollars and some change that will be my new go to. Also, they are never ever consistent on pricing sometimes it's seven dollars and change sometimes it's eight dollars and change and more recently. It's nine dollars and some change. For coffee folks definitely not worth it. I understand that there's an up charge for caramel, but not almost 4 dollars. Give me a break. Such a disappointment

They're larger than they look in photos, perfectly balanced in flavor and not too greasy. You can tell they're made properly on the oversized hot crepe griddles, and it shows in the texture. Despite being in a tourist-heavy area, the café itself feels tucked away and surprisingly quiet inside. There's also outdoor seating if you prefer. The indoor tables have games on hand--like dominoes and Connect Four--which adds a relaxed, welcoming touch. (I won at dominoes!) Service was genuinely hospitable, and the whole experience felt thoughtful and unpretentious. Definitely a spot we took note of and will be back to.

This is a great place to grab a drink while exploring Old Town Scottsdale.
