I scream... you scream.. we all scream for ice cream! I had just finished dinner and was craving something sweet. There were a few spots for ice cream & I'm so happy I went with scooptopia and tried something new! I was helped by the owner who was just the sweetest person ever. Her customer service was 100! Allowed me to try all the flavors and they do not skip out on hooking you up with ice cream. I went with the cheesecake and horchata flavors... OMG YUM!! The ice cream was just so creamy and good! I will be coming back to try more! read more

I stumbled across this place and figured a sweet treat would be nice. The staff was very friendly. They welcomed us at the door and offered us samples and told us a little about what they serve. I tried the oatmeal and blueberry cheesecake and my boyfriend got the mango tango. They were all delicious! They have lots of unique flavors and a wide variety of treats. Prices were a little bit steep but to be expected as ice cream shops can be a little costly. I'd definitely like to go again and see what other seasonal flavors they'll have. read more

My friends and I wanted some dessert and we stopped by after looking it up on yelp. This place used to be a wedding cake place and I remember coming here to do my cake tasting. We were greeted by the staff upon entering. They had a variety of desserts from ice creams, bobas and specialty desserts. I ordered the Halo Halo and my husband got the Thai tea. I thought the Halo Halo was good. I love all the different components of the dessert but wished they put more of the taro ice cream. We were not a fan of the Thai tea. The taste was off and the boba tasted weird. Overall the staff was friendly, place was clean and I enjoyed my dessert. read more

I've never used a paper boba straw so that was cool they had that. My drink was a little too sweet for me, but I think that was just my personal preference.

I found this hidden gem on yelp and decided to try something different. We did visit the location, during the takeout only services and the owner greeted us with such enthusiasm and was so nice. She explained all the items on the menu, told us a little about their specialities and ultimately we ended up with the Thai tea and Halo Halo! We have since been back and brought our family to enjoy! They loved it and this is by far one of my favorite dessert places.

I heard about this place from a friend and how they have the best Halo Halo in Phoenix. I may not be the best point of reference because I only had Halo Halo once or twice in my life so I don't know if I had the best baseline. Upon walking in the shop, I was warmly greeted by the workers. I was the only one in the shop and get offered to answer any questions I had. They have a vast array of ice cream. They do not make their own ice cream but buys from a local ice cream supplier. If you want options for both traditional and slightly different flavors, I definitely recommend coming here. Additionally, they have shave ice and other specialty desserts, like Halo Halo. I ordered the Halo Halo and eating it was like a party in my mouth. So many textures and flavors in one dessert. No component was too sweet or an odd texture. It all worked together really well. Overall, it was a balanced dessert. The dessert comprises of shave ice, jellies, beans, nuts, and a cookie straw. The best part? The taro ice cream! It was flavorful and rich! I would go back just for the ice cream! I don't even really know all of the ingredients but I just remember it being really good. The dessert was around 6 dollars, which I was totally fine with because it goes to supporting local businesses. I recommend giving them a try because they are good people with a good business! read more

What a gem!!! My boyfriend and I visited this spot with his aunt after it came up as a yelp suggestion. We were warmly greeted by the owners who were so kind (Filipino people are always very warm and welcoming)! We knew before going in that we wanted to order their special halo halo, but were pleasantly surprised to see they also started offering Taho (Filipino dessert with soft tofu, brown sugar syrup, and tapioca balls) and Sago Gulaman (Filipino grass jelly drink)!!! We ordered all three and they were ALL SO GOOOD. My boyfriend is Filipino so I've had my share of Filipino cuisine and these desserts were one of the best I've had! For the taho we tried the taro flavor which I've never seen before and it's a must try! And the sago gulaman is the perfect refreshment on a sunny day. We also got a pint of their local made ice cream to take home (they have so many unique flavors) and some cookies!!! Trust me there were more things we wanted to try but we'll just have to wait for next time since we got so much haha. All in all the desserts here are delicious, the quality is excellent, and the service was unbeatable. Def a local business you'll want to support and see thrive!!! If you're near the midtown area in Phoenix I highly suggest you stop by! (it's right next to the light rail) read more

I was on a mission to find halo halo on our stop in phx. The one they make at scooptopia is beautiful, just not the proportions I'm used to. Halo halo is difficult because everyone's got their preferences for sure, so every family makes it totally different. Lots of ice, missing creamy goodness and more of that purple deliciousness that is ube ice cream. If you're a lover of the textured ice and jelly preserves this is gonna be your jam. It satisfied my craving but I also stopped at the market before getting home to pick up more ube ice cream. read more

The prices are reasonable, less than other places I've seen and, I have to say, the cotton candy flavor was actually amazing and not overdone like it can be.

Rating 3.5 TLDR: If youre looking for halo-halo, come here. However, don't be too surprised, it tastes like any other halo-halo. So, its really up to what youre craving. Please keep in mind, this rating is based solely off my order halo halo, and not a rating for their other desserts. Not TLDR: Its been a while since I've had some Filipino dessert; specifically halo-halo. Where I live now, there isnt halo halo. So, when I found out that this place had this, my wife and I had to check it out. We drove from Tempe to this little hole in the wall, and it was the perfect time for desserts since it was still pretty warm. We arrived, and got their signature dessert: halo halo. It was good, but nothing amazing. It did satisfy both our cravings though. The service was impeccable, and the other desserts looked great. However, I have to give it 3.5 stars for their most reviewed item; which left me unimpressed. Based on other reviews, I have no doubt the other desserts are good. Give this place a try based on the other reviews; however, if youre looking for a mind blowing halo-halo, come knowing that it tastes like the rest. Good but not AMAZING. read more

Overall it was an enjoyable drink but I would have liked more minty flavor. It was hard to distinguish the mint and chocolate and tasted more like a generic sweetness. The boba was plentiful and decently chewy. Service was friendly and there was a sign at the counter saying if you sign up to be on their list they give you 10% your drink. Nice! The total for my drink with tax was a little over $5 which is not bad at all. Gotta love a good deal! If I'm in the area again I'd definitely come back for more drinks.

The two people inside were wearing masks and gloves and were incredibly friendly and helpful. The small truck was very clean and cool and well done. They have a million different flavor combinations and were happy to share their favorites and recommendations. Turns out, all of their syrups and flavors are homemade, you could definitely taste that! We got eight different iced, flavors and flavor combinations and everybody loved them. We sat in the shade of some tall trees in our camping chairs in the grass. Temperature was 90°, but somehow it felt like 75°, it was beautiful and the cool ice treats probably helped with that. The ice is very light and melts quickly in your mouth leaving just the fantastic flavors. You don't feel like you've eaten a bunch of sugar and you're not full, just refreshed. I definitely recommend Phoenix Phreeze. Even making it a regular thing, a tradition, trying different flavors and combinations. It feels like a family owned, caring, comfortable, "homey" experience.

The one thing that always brought me to this stand was the shaved ice and all of the flavors to go along with it. Definition of shaved ice is exactly what I had in mind. The price is great and they pack the ice night and tight in one of 3 size cups. I like that they add the flavor so it's just the perfect amount and not leaving it too sugary sweet with the syrup coming through the bottom of the cup. Look forward to seeing them at other events as they owners are great!

Neveria Chayos

Check your receipts and bank statements carefully before leaving this business!…read more I recently visited Neveria Chayos on Glendale &35th ave and noticed two major issues with how they calculate totals at checkout using their Clover system! #1 A Hidden Debit Card Fee: My printed receipt total was $44.25, but they manually inflated the checkout screen right before I swiped my debit card. My bank account was charged $45.25! Charging an un-itemized, hidden $1.00 fee on a debit card violates standard card network rules and federal regulations. #2 Inflated Sales Tax: They manually configured their register to charge a flat 10.0% sales tax on the receipt. In the City of Phoenix, the actual combined state, county, and city tax rate for restaurants/prepared food is 8.6%. They are artificially padding the tax line on every transaction. Watch the terminal screen closely when you pay here. I have already submitted formal compliance reports to the card networks and the Arizona Department of Revenue regarding these practices.

Very helpful to assist with ordering a new dish…read more Environment clean and bright. Would come back for more.

If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite.

It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit.

I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

On the flip side, the Pyro Benedict missed the mark--the shredded short ribs were very dry. The Green Tea Milk Punch ($12) looked good, but lacked flavor and wasn't worth it for my friends.

I don't believe the server knew how to handle the less than formal style of the group I was with, but they did not turn us away and provided phenomenal service. The drinks had elegant garnish, and were well made. The most complicated might have been a vodka soda, but the additional touch was nice. For a start we ordered the oysters, which was kept everyone stuck between being nice and fair, and wanting to take all for themselves. We also ordered the octupus which was very good.
