    Stopped by Shakes & Cones in Old Town Scottsdale and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Nutty Buddy and it was yummy. I love peanuts with ice cream so this was perfect. Portions are very generous, so definitely come hungry (or ready to share). The ice cream stand itself is a walk-up, with fun little touches in the décor that make it feel extra fun. Staff were friendly and welcoming too, which makes the experience even better. If you're in Old Town and craving a sweet treat, this is the spot. *Keep in mind, there is only outdoor seating available.

    Delish! Super yum and fresh. Fair pricing and not too sweet! Their chocolate fudge is simply delightful. My fave is the strawberry twirl, creamy and sweetened to perfection. The service was not too friendly and the fact that no one else was there and had to wait to order was kind of annoying.

    Shakes and Cones has a great location--you can easily walk downtown Scottsdale--but the menu could use a clearer setup. Vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options aren't obvious: A simple color-coded system would help a lot with their extensive menu. I have had the vegan gluten free mint chocolate chip shake twice and gave it four stars--glad they have the vegan option, though the chocolate chips were quite crunchy and accumulate at the bottom at the end. I ask for rainbow sprinkles on top to make it more fun, otherwise it looks a bit plain. Their vegan soft serve is tasty but more airy than filling compared to other vegan ice creams I've tried. Fun! But not my go to unless I'm walking the town :) 072525

    I popped by the shakes and cone tonight in old town. It's a walk up location with a very small amount of seating out front. We enjoyed the peanut butter cookie dough shake. It was very rich and flavorful. In the words of my 13 year old this is Buss'n! We also tired the Biscoff cookie butter shake. It had pieces of biscoff cookies and it tasted like Trader Joe's cookie butter. The kids working there were very friendly and pleasant.

    Solid ice cream spot my friends and I happened upon after dinner in Scottsdale. They have outdoor seats and are essentially a window counter. The ice cream sandwhich was good, though the cookies were definitely not freshly baked. My friends had great reviews of the strawberry cheesecake milkshake special! All around they have good, classic soft serve and milkshakes.

    Love this place! It's perfect for another very hot day. I had the Josh's Cake Dish today--such a large portion and absolutely delicious! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!

    Vanilla/Strawberry cone with sprinkles

    A short line on a Tuesday evening didn't deter me. I got my delicious soft serve, and the server told me, "He ain't pretty, but he'll taste fine. This was very true. This was a very squatty cone, those it tasted wonderful. There's some seating right at the window, though I sat at the corner on a bench to enjoy my cone.

    Salted Caramel Cup
    Sam J.

    Great ice cream place right off of Scottsdale Rd that offers organic soft serve. Tried their Salted Caramel cup and enjoyed it - it's pretty much what you expect when you mix vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and caramel. But the generous caramel syrup does not cheat you on what you're looking for. Very friendly service! It's only an ordering window and outside seating - just order, enjoy and continue with your perusing in town.

    If I could give 6 stars to Shakes & Cones I would. What is a kiosk operation (as you order from the street) turns out is a culinary delight. With dairy and vegan ice cream choices alike, with fantastic quality, there is something for everyone. Service is great as they helped me navigate extensive menu and their recommendations were fantastic. I decided on having vegan cookie butter ice cream with vegan whipped cream. Justin was very enthusiastic in recommending it, and to be honest this is the best ice cream I ever had. Special thanks to him. While seating is street-side of which I am no fan, the quality of ice cream, and friendliness of staff more than makes up for it!!!!!

    Yummy!!!!!! I wanted to try this place out because because it offers vegan ice cream. I had the vanilla and chocolate fudge and it was by far the best ice cream I have had. The location is in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale so if you are ever in the area I suggest you give this place a try. Oh!!! The customer service was helpful, friendly and all around amazing

    Biscoff shake
    Tahs L.

    Honestly the one star is for convenience and friendly staff. That was good. It's also quick and easy if you're wanting icecream on the go. The icecream itself is extremely mid. I'm sorry it just tasted bland and I got the cake and icecream cup. The cake was also not flavorful and very dry. The biscoff shake we got was also pretty flavorless and not something to write home about. I want to love it but I can't sadly. Maybe if the owner wasn't so offended by an honest review I'd come back to see if the dry cake and flavorless icecream was a fluke...there are more options on this road with higher ratings though, so I'll put my money elsewhere.

    Incredible vegan sundaes! Closest thing I've had to peanut buster parfait since going vegan! Incredible!

    Vanilla with Oreo covering
    Evangeline L.

    Creamiest ice cream I've had in a while and refreshing for a hot day in Phoenix! I definitely recommend - I went classic with the vanilla with Oreo and was not disappointed. They only have outdoor seating.

    Did this place recently change ownership?

    Are there non-dairy/vegan options? I can't find any nutritional information on their website, except that it's gluten-free, egg-free and only made with organic, non-gmo ingredients. Just curious if someone with a lactose intolerance can eat there.

    Hi Ada! We offer an organic non-dairy/vegan vanilla bean soft serve made with coconut milk. Using it we have an entire menu of options available. Feel free to ask for the non-dairy menu at the shop! Thanks :)

The two shops are joint and definitely scream luxe in every way. A super modern and beautiful space with all the designer puns and cute offerings from trinkets, to clothes, house goods and of course ice cream bars. They offer chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake or a banana for dipping. You can build your own or select one of their speciality bars - both coming in around $9. I opted for the Neverfull of nuts. A vanilla ice cream base, dipped in chocolate, rolled with peanuts, a Reese's and Nutella drizzle. It was very good and definitely enjoyed during the beautiful sunny day in Old Town. The service was great, friendly, quick and helpful with suggestions. My grandparents who were visiting from out of town, loved it. Overall, it was a delicious treat, beautiful store and hit the spot. I do feel the price point is a tad steep and they didn't have any children of small offerings, but I suppose that goes hand in hand with the luxe vibe. I would definitely return, but also a few other local spots that equally hit the mark.

They really did nice renovations! You can either build your own bar or get one of their recommended combos. My husband and I each got our own. We definitely could've shared, but we wanted to try different things! I did a custom bar with chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and peanut butter drizzle. You can get two toppings and a drizzle, but I'm glad I just got the chocolate cake. It was AMAZING. I loved everything about it. My husband got the March Madness feature, which was a combo of Oreos and Andes mints with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. You can choose chocolate or vanilla ice cream - he chose chocolate. It was exactly what he wanted. The staff were so friendly and patient with everyone in front of us who took awhile to decide. The shop is pristinely clean as well! The bars are a little pricey, but the quality is there and fairly justifies the hefty price tag.
