AWESOME EXPERIENCE! What a fun ice cream shop with so many homemade flavors! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such a friendly welcome. Ashlynn was WONDERFUL! When she offers to tell you about the shop, sharing a bit of history and explaining how to order your dessert, you know you're already off to an awesome start! She carefully walked us through the homemade specialty cones, brownies, cookies, and all the ways you can turn them into creations of pure goodness. We had a large group of family with us, and instead of making us feel rushed or like a bother, Ashlynn was so kind and said, "Taste testing is the best part, take your time and try what you'd like!" She even offered to guide us by asking what we normally enjoy and explaining the flavors. She is truly a customer service guru!!! I can't say enough positive things about her and how she elevated our experience! The ice cream itself was creamy and so good. I loved the Blue Moon, which was a mystery flavor, it gave me a fun blue raspberry vibe. I also had a mini cone of the cookie dough, which I normally wouldn't choose, but this one was so fresh and perfectly balanced with mix-ins! My group also tried the dairy-free options, which was such a nice touch. It's awesome to have a shop that is inclusive for an allergy kiddo. They even have these neat push pops you can get your ice cream in, the options just felt endless and fun! If you want to try something really good and have a great experience, try Stella's! The co-owner was also very welcoming and helpful. The whole place has such a great vibe! read more

We stopped into Stella's Ice Cream today and are so glad we did! They offer some very creative flavors, including the one I ordered -- Circus Circus -- a white chocolate ice cream with frosted circus animal cookies mixed in. It was incredibly smooth and absolutely delicious. My daughter ordered the dairy-free mint chocolate chip brownie sundae, and it was wonderful as well. It normally comes with three toppings, but she chose to have them left off and it was still fantastic. In addition to the great ice cream, the employee who helped us was wonderful and happily offered tastings so we could try a few flavors before deciding. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Skye was super helpful and knowledgeable! Best experience ever and ice cream is so good

skye was the best! All 5 of us were served quickly and efficiently with super friendly service.

I've had this place saved for a while now and finally stopped by on Friday night. It wasn't too busy so we were helped a few minutes after we arrived. The employee was very friendly and let us try out a few samples. We ordered one small cake batter ice cream with a small waffle cone and a mini circus animal cookie ice cream with a mini cone. The circus animal cookie ice cream was delicious and not overwhelmingly sweet. It was very creamy and even had pieces of the animal cookies mixed in. The cake batter was also really good as it was also creamy and almost that of a gooey texture. The inside was clean and well decorated. They also had great music playing and there were tables inside and out. read more

Finally tried Stella's! Cute ice cream shop in the Verde Cooley Station. Lots of parking available. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us was very nice. There's two picnic tables outside, two 4 seated tables and one big table with 8-10 chairs. So I can see this place being full during busy times but we came on a Wednesday afternoon so easy to snag a table. We could have as many samples as we wanted and we weren't rushed. The prices are pretty on point with any other gourmet ice cream shop. They have some cute dipped cones as well as cookies and bars. They also have a fridge in the back full of push pops, ice cream sandwiches, pints, doggie treats and cakes! I'm coming back for the push pops! I love that they offer a tiny cone and scoop, enough to satisfy my craving. Oh and they have Blue Moon!!! My fave when I lived in Michigan and don't see it anywhere else. It tastes slightly different but still good! My girls got a scoop of the strawberry and flavor of the week - moonbeam- both delish. They have maybe 8 regular flavors and then some rotating with the flavor of the week. Plus a good variety of dairy free ice cream choices! Our new fave ice cream spot so we'll def be back :) read more

Chanel was great helping us decide on what flavors to get and answered all of our questions. We'll definitely be back!

Cute little ice cream shop with some unique flavors. We ended up getting the Guava Cheesecake (sweet, tart, and creamy bites of cheesecake) and the All Nighter (chocolate, coffee, and cookie bits). The only thing that I wish they would add is the flavor names next to the actual ice cream. They only have a list of flavors on the wall. When you look at the ice cream in the freezer window, there are no labels. You either have to ask what flavor you're curious about on the wall or you have to look at the actual ice cream tubs and point at it and ask what it is. It makes sampling and decision making take longer and I think that's why a long line tends to form. read more

Stopped by Stella's after dinner for some ice cream. Pro: Aesthetic was cute Staff was friendly Meh: The ice cream was just alright The water station was a plus until I drank water and it was warm ... Con: No ingredients list in the case of an allergy Who is Stella? Where is the "about us" for this small business? Who are we supporting? Would love to know! What sets this ice cream shop apart from others in the area? It was just an alright ice cream shop. Spent almost $20 and would probably skip this place next time and try out somewhere new. read more

Stella's Ice Cream is a great addition to Verde! It recently opened and I've already been a handful of times. The staff is always friendly and helpful, taking their time to walk us through the offerings and flavors. The space is fun, bright, and welcoming. There's ample seating indoor as well as a couple of tables outside. Stella's offers a ton of different flavors, including a dedicated dairy-free menu typically with eight flavors with some rotating. They usually release one new flavor per week. In addition to ice cream, they also offer brownies, cookies including gluten-free options, doggie ice cream, and more. I've tried a few different flavors including dairy-free ones. My favorite so far has been a seasonal flavor, lavender fields or something similar, which was a surprise to me since I don't typically enjoy the lavender flavor. I've also tried their brownie which was great and a gluten-free cookie which was just okay. I'll be back next time a new flavor calls my name! read more

Sloane was kind and SO helpful!! She helped me decide what to get because I was torn and her recommendation did not disappoint!

Visited for the first time, with my son and we are still talking about our experience an hour later. The owner introduced himself and his employee and he instantly made me feel like I have known him my whole life. He gave us samples and opinions and how they make and package the ice cream. I got the waffle cone in a bowl with a brownie on bottom and the Cookie Butter ice cream had Biscoff crumbles, absolutely to die for! Thank you Evan and Sophia for a fabulous experience. Michelle and Justin, definitely will be seeing you soon read more

Very happy to have Stella's at Cooley Station in Gilbert! We stopped in during the soft opening and loved it! They have a huge selection across the board. They have a great variety of flavors, including a range of non-diary options. Samples are encouraged! A great choice of cones, bowls, shakes, sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, and more. Honestly, the selection they have here is awesome! We tried a bunch of different flavors and they were all delicious! The Chocolate Peanut Butter might have been my favorite but it's a tough choice. All their ice cream is very creamy and smooth, very well made, IMO! They have seating both inside and outside. Inside, they also have cakes and sandwiches pre-made to grab and go, as well as pints of their own flavors to take home! The staff was excellent and very helpful. The location is perfect for a post dinner treat or walking around checking out the shopping options. Tons of parking, too. If you're an ice cream lover, you need to add Stella's to your list! Definitely worth the visit. read more

Sloan was kind and gave us huge scoops!! The cake batter was really good!! keep it up Sloan

Sooooo yummy!! My friends and I stopped by for a cookie sundae after dinner and were not left disappointed. Firstly, the staff were wonderful. They were very patient and let us try all types of delicious ice cream flavors. They were all so delicious it was hard for us to decide what to get. I loved their strawberry and cookies & cream. I need to come back asap and get another scoop! The cookies were warm and gooey and the ice cream was perfectly cold. I will say I love anything and everything sweet but I was not able to finish up my order. I would recommend having the ice cream flavor be a simple vanilla or share with another. We were too excited for our sweet treat that we totally forgot to take a picture lol :( read more

My best friend and I stopped by after dinner to get some dessert. The shop offered some fun flavors, though nothing really stood out or felt particularly memorable. I asked about the Guava Cheesecake flavor since I have an allergy to real guava, but the staff explained they don't keep an ingredient list for the ice creams. That felt a little concerning, especially for anyone with allergies, since it means customers can't really verify what's in each flavor. At the same time, I understand most people with severe allergies probably wouldn't sample flavors without knowing. They did have a wide variety of cones, cookie sandwiches, brownies, and other options. I ordered a cookies n cream chocolate chip cookie sandwich, not realizing how large it would be compared to the smaller pre-made ones in the fridge. For me, the cookie itself was a bit too rich the chocolate chunks were overwhelming and the overall sweetness was more than I could handle. I only managed a few bites before taking the rest home. On the positive side, the shop interior was bright and cheerful, with fun music and cute décor, which made the atmosphere enjoyable. read more

Even though I found the ice cream to be overpriced, the homemade cones were the best cones I've ever had! They have a variety of dairy free flavors that are actually very tasty. read more

It's good and local. They change their flavors frequently. The staff is always friendly. I mean it's ice cream hard to go wrong!

Cute, average, little ice cream spot. The store is named after the owners bulldog, Stella which is honestly the best draw to the place. The ice cream is good but pretty par for the course. read more

Great place for after lunchtime or dinner for ice cream pleasures. Awesome place to relax and enjoy your treats. You'll love it!

Stella's is easily now my favorite ice cream shop in the valley. As soon as we entered we were greeted by lovely girls who explained everything. My husband and I shared a double scoop in a waffle bowl. The ice cream was creamy and delicious, and they do not skimp on the items mixed in. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

I was really excited to see a new local ice cream place going into this area. I went opening day to try it out. I sampled a few flavors and they were all very artificial tasting and the colors were neon. I don't care for artificially colored and flavored things anymore. It seems like a nice enough spot but I ended up getting a single and splitting it and couldn't finish it. It's hard when Salt and Straw are close too. I wish them luck but it won't be a regular spot for me. read more

I happened to be in the area with family and several friends after an event and how lucky we were we got to experience this place on the day of their opening! We literally packed the place :) Everyone enjoyed their variety of ice cream flavors but I stuck with chocolate and it was delicious. Everyone was so courteous and provided great service. Inside the shop is very cute and has lovely colors perfect to sit down and enjoy a scoop or two of their wonderful ice cream! read more

A super cute addition to Cooley Station! Stopped in with some friends on a Thursday afternoon and tried out some ice cream. The employee was friendly and helpful and we got to sample some flavors. The interior is bright and clean. I ended up with their Pralines and cream flavor and really enjoyed it. All of their ice creams are homemade and they have a lot of options to-go in their freezer as well. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been able to visit in person and order through a delivery app. We received great service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a great menu with a variety of flavors. I love that the flavors change so you can always try something new. Also, they offer cookies and variety of ice cream dishes and cakes. There are take home items in the freezer, as well. My son enjoyed his shakes and I've loved the flavors I've tried. Last night, I had chocolate peanut butter and s'mores in a waffle bowl. The quality and flavor are fantastic! The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. It's definitely a pleasant, clean atmosphere. Stella's is highly recommended for ice cream lovers of all ages! You won't be disappointed! read more

So excited Stella's is in the neighborhood! The space is in Verde and so cute! It's a small space with limited seating inside, no outside seating yet. The ice cream is SO good, they have fun cones like colored cake cones that were a hit with the kids, chocolate , sprinkle and chocolate with Oreos dipped cones. Lots of different flavors to choose from. They also have a fridge with pints and other fun treats! The service was also good, the girls working were very attentive and helpful and offered samples! My boys love coming here and it's become a little weekly tradition. read more

A spot I'll be coming back to! Was greeted and helped from the moment I walked in the door. Great customer service during my visit. They have many flavors to choose from (dairy free options too), and you can sample as many flavors as you'd like. Ordered a chocolate dipped waffle cone with the mint chip and she went with the salted caramel. Both were great options! Also took a couple chocolate chip cookies to go, and they were great. Limited seating inside and outside but you can walk over to Verde Park and grab a seat or just walk around. read more

Kenzie was very friendly great customer service. It is a very nice place. The flavors are good the the cookies n cream was really good read more

Stella's is like the cooler, more interesting cousin of Cold Stone, Baskin-Robbins, and Dairy Queen--the one who studied abroad and came back with stories. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and has way more personality than the chain stuff. But fair warning: roll in around 7 PM and you'll hit the post-dinner Hunger Games. Seats vanish, the line snakes out the door, and you'll find yourself doing awkward hover laps while trying not to make eye contact with people already eating. The portions? Massive. Like, "did I just accidentally order a family-sized dessert for one?" massive. A small is basically the size of your hopes and dreams, so pace yourself. Bottom line: Stella's scoops are worth the trip--just show up early, bring your sweet tooth, and maybe some elbow pads for navigating the crowd. read more

Visited Stella's with my girlfriend and we LOVED it! The shop was full but we didn't wait long. Plenty of seating and I like the clear menu on the wall with the flavors and prices all visible. Cookies n Crème was DELICIOUS! It had the perfect amount of cookies, very balanced in sweetness also. My girlfriend had their Strawberry which was very good and a perfect flavor for this Summer heat! The Cake Batter was very good too! The Mini Cone is perfect! Just enough ice cream to not feel too guilty. This has made it into my top 3 ice cream shops in The Valley and could be a front runner for #1. read more

Been here a couple times and hasn't disappointed yet. I recommend the cinnamon toast crunch flavor. Workers are always nice.

A very busy night! Line was long and the only girl on shift was doing her best. She definitely shouldn't be the only one here with a Sunday night crowd. I placed an online order and came in to see a very long line. So we knew we'd be waiting a bit before our order was made but that was okay. When she finally got to making it, we noticed she had used the same milk in both milkshakes despite mine being a dairy free milkshake and my partners being a regular one. It was disappointing but she was in a rush and there was no point in telling her the mistake. Just a disappointing experience and not entirely the workers fault. The milkshake was okay, just sad I couldn't fully enjoy it since it was not dairy free. read more

Holy moly ice cream shop is this place good! Came on a Saturday night expecting a wait, although there was in fact a line it moved very quickly and service was friendly and attentive and they let us try many samples. There are a ton of flavor and cone options here and you actually see them making their delicious waffles cones in house. There is both indoor and outdoor seating which I can appreciate. I landed on cookies and cream in a waffle cone and it was absolutely delicious! The waffle cone was probably the best waffle cone I've had not to mention the delectable ice cream! read more
