Scoop & Joy is the cutest ice cream shop with the most wonderful and unique flavor combinations. There are so many options to choose from, both ice cream and sorbet, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. If you're getting a cone or cup and they offer to make a surprise topper, say YES. Our youngest did, and it was the cutest thing ever, such a fun, special touch that made the experience even more memorable. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the shop had a steady flow of customers (always a good sign), and everything felt organized and upbeat. Amazing flavors, great energy, and thoughtful little details that set them apart. We will definitely be back! read more

Friendly service and great selection of ice cream and cones. The person serving us was very patient and let us sample several ice creams before we decided. I had their mint cookie which tasted like a Girl Scout thin Mint and my wife had the bourbon caramel cookie ice cream WiFi h was delicious! Popular place which doesn't surprise me but it does have some outdoor seating. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

There are about 15 flavors to choose from. Staff super friendly. Had the dark chocolate with caramel. Soooo decadent. Family friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Friendly service and lots of flavors. They have ice cream cakes too! We had the cookie skillet which was okay. Cookie could have been softer. read more

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! read more

"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! read more

I came across this place by mistake but let me tell you. I am so happy I did. It's probably the BEST ICE CREAM place in Phoenix! And trust me I've been to all the "top" rated ice cream places around. This place should not be missed. You have to try it. Service is amazing too and when they ask you if you want a free surprise? Say YES! They come up with very creative way of presenting their ice creams. I got the Cookie Monster, pistachio and strawberry and none of them disappointed. 10/10 across the board. read more

I drove 16 minutes to try this shop out. I ordered a vanilla ice cream sundae with Strawberry sauce, walnuts and whipped cream. The server was super nice and outgoing. I loved that he layered my sundae with the ingredients so it's evenly dispersed. I gave it four stars instead of five because they used an artificial strawberry syrup instead of fresh strawberries sauce. I was disappointed about that. Other than that the sundae was delicious. They had great other flavors and baked goods. I also tried the cheesecake pumpkin muffin, ricotta cake and banana walnut bread. All very delicious and moist. Now if only management would invest a little more and serve a good quality pure strawberries and sauce then this place would be perfect! read more

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. read more

Who doesn't love a scoop of ice cream? I stopped in here after grabbing lunch next door, and it did not disappoint! I got a scoop of the cookie dough and the staff asked if I wanted a "surprise on top", which turned out to be the cute Oreo and marshmallow face on my ice cream. This is just damn good ice cream. A great place to sit and enjoy an old fashioned favorite! read more

I stopped in here with a couple of Yelp friends at another Yelp friend's recommendation. I was not dissappointed. So this is an ice cream place, but they have boba tea. Now this is a rare treat for me as there aren't an over abundance of places that sell it. I ordered the Granny Smith boba tea. This is made with guava nectar, pineapple juice, green tea, almond milk, and of course boba bubbles. Sweet deliciousness as I sipped on this delectable treat. A flavor explosion in my mouth as each boba bubble emerged through the straw. I am looking forward to my next boba tea here at Scoop and Joy Lounge. read more

Pro-tip: Get the flight - three mini scoops for $5 which is great for anyone who likes more flavors but it is less ice cream than if you just got the double scoop. They offer samples!! Also, the ice cream is Lappert's Ice Cream from Hawaii so it's delicious! Definitely get the surprise. Highlights: I had a much better experience than my first time. The workers were so friendly and patient while I was deciding my flight flavors and let me sample a few flavors. I love the variety of flavors they offer because it's beyond the classic flavors, some have lots of mix-ins and some are Hawaiian inspired which is always fun. The flavors rotate, but my favorites have been the coconut macademia nut and Nuku Hiva (coconut pineapple ice cream brownie pieces raspberry sorbet). Lowlights: The flavors do rotate so you never know which you'll get. I've been really curious about their baked goods/cakes, they should think about giving samples out to let customers try them first since they are pretty big and most people go with ice cream on their mind! read more

If you've ever been to Hawaii, you may already know of the deliciousness that is Lappert's ice cream. When looking for an ice cream shop one night, Yelp directed us to Scoop and Joy. I didn't really look too much into the offerings; I just saw the cute scoops and decided that was the perfect place to appease our sweet tooth. Walking in, I didn't notice the Lappert's sign in the window. I noticed all the Hawaiian-like flavors and it finally hit me that they served Lappert's. I am in love with their chocolate chip cookie dough because the dough chunks are huge. I also got a scoop of Nuku Hiva; coconut/pineapple ice cream with brownie chunks and raspberry sorbet swirl. It sounds like none of that would go together, but it's really quite delicious. I'm pretty sure two scoops at Scoop and Joy are cheaper than you can get them in Hawaii too! Pro tip: always say yes to the surprise! read more

This place is so cute! We were nearby and our usual go-to ice cream spot was closed for the night so we decided to give them a try. They have a good variety of flavors, lots of unique flavors. They offer milkshakes, sundaes, or ice cream sandwiches on cookies. There's also a good list of boba options! Opted for a single scoop in a waffle cone, they let you split it into two flavors if you like. Prices are very reasonable! The "surprise" on the ice cream is adorable, I think it would be so fun to bring kids here. Looking forward to coming back and trying some more desserts! read more

A Sweet Treat and a Warm Heart - The Best Ice Cream Place in Town! I recently had the pleasure of visiting scoops and joy. We came in from Long Island ny , and I was blown away by not only the creamy, dreamy flavors but also the kindness of the owner. From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel like a regular. Her enthusiasm for her craft is contagious, and her passion for creating the perfect scoop is evident in every bite. The ice cream itself is a masterpiece - rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. We had the key lime pie, apple which was low sugar , banana pudding in a pretzel cone and chocolate dipped they were absolute perfection. But what truly sets scoops and joy apart is the owners kindness and dedication to her customers, she also creates each ice cream cone into a surprise. She takes the time to get to know each person who walks through her door, remembers their favorite flavors, and even offers samples with a smile read more

I have now downgraded it to one star on account of the nasty response. To the owner-I reserve this alias for negative reviews. I have all positive reviews under another ID. You can state all you want about the problem not being you. Denial is classic. Frankly I don't care whether you fix what I see as a problem. Your loss not mine since I do not plan to ever visit your store ever again. And if it was you that served me - you need to get a personality and learn to better greet your customers. I note that you did not address the complaint because you know you do not have a leg to stand on. Poor attitude while serving - not addressed in your response Reaching for the smallest size cup for a 2 scoop order. Why? Not addressed in your response The deflection to my other negative reviews which are all grouped under one ID is not an answer. Filling it at most to the top of the cup, so it's not like you chose the smallest cup and then piled the ice cream high. From the start to finish it was an awful miserable experience. Deflect all you want, it won't increase business. Based on my experience I'm not surprised that there were NO other customers in your store when I visited read more

After seeing all the pictures on Instagram, we needed to stop by this place and give it a shot! My boyfriend got the the unicorn sundae, which he thought was delicious! I got the brownie sundae, which had vanilla ice cream, brownies, caramel sauce, and a rim dipped in chocolate chips. While it was good, it wasn't anything particularly amazing. Next time, I'd probably ask if the vanilla ice cream could be substituted with another flavor! My boyfriend's dad got a double scoop in a waffle cone that was so cutely decorated and he thought his ice cream was delicious. I would definitely come back to try some of their milkshakes and other ice cream flavors! read more

There is a great selection of flavors and options at Scoop and Joy and it's a cool place! I've been here a few times and my favorite flavor is probably the ube. I was excited to try the Kaui Coffee, but the bitter coffee flavor was a bit overpowering and the texture was not as smooth and creamy as I was expecting for ice cream. Still delicious though! I can't end this review without mentioning the "surprise". It's what they are known for, but I don't want to spoil it. Just say yes when the server asks! read more
