    The best chai tea I've ever had. I went here daily while in Sedona, it was that good!

    This was such a unique, lively and colorful place! It fully showcased Pakistani culture and I loved…read moreit. I felt like I was transported to Pakistan the moment I stepped into The Chai Spot. Aside from the tea, they also sold all kinds of goodies--from traditional dresses to books to little trinkets--which I later found out that 70% of the products they sold here were handmade by their rural women & men. There was just so much to explore that my eyes and my heart were full and I haven't even had their teas yet. Another couple of things I found out later on while I indulged myself in more chai than I probably should have and scrolled through their website: (1) half of their profit goes to support women and children in Pakistan, and (2) this place is a "social-enterprise dedicated to peace-building and socio-economic empowerment of women and children in Pakistan." With that, truly, my heart and my belly could not be fuller and I'm so glad I made a point to visit this place at Tlaquepaque! There were some tables and chairs, as well as area rugs where groups sat crisscross applesauce, outside the store on the terrace since they're located on the second floor. They also had a few of these super charming balconies you can hang out and sip your drink at. If you're not in a rush, I think staying and having your tea there completes the whole experience. What we tried: Butter Chai - 5/5 Traditional Cardamom -4/5 Iced Black - 4/5 From the three drinks we got, my ultimate favorite was the Butter Chai. Apparently, they don't consider this as their best seller, but I have seen so many people rave about this particular drink and I couldn't be happier that I went for it. It was the perfect symphony of sweet and creamy with the spices not being too overwhelming. I didn't know that it came with some toppings of crushed pistachios too, but they make sure to ask if you're okay with that when you order. Overall, this one's quite a special place. If you get a chance to stroll around the Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, I highly recommend you stop by here!

Perfect balance of bold espresso and warm chai spices--smooth, not too sweet, and hits just right whether you're starting your morning or cooling off after walking around Sedona. You can actually taste the quality, not just sugar and milk like most spots. If you're out here, do yourself a favor and grab one. Simple, clean, and honestly one of the best chai mixes I've had in a minute. #SedonaEats #DirtyChai #CoffeeLovers #ChaiVibes #ArizonaSpots

    This place caught me by surprise. We weren't in too much of an ice cream mood that day because it…read morewas already quite chilly outside, but we wanted to try it so we just got their small cup. That size allows you to choose two flavors, so we had their Belgian Chocolate and Espresso Swirl. SO. INCREDIBLY. GOOD! Their ice cream is almost like a gelato because it was so lush and creamy and so flavorful without being overly sweet. It's not the kind of ice cream that has those little ice chip bits you get in every bite. Nope. This was just pure creamy bliss all throughout. Everything they had was homemade too--from cookies to brownies to pies, and of course their ice cream! They had coffee as well, so they truly have a lot to choose from when you stop by. The staff were super nice and friendly, and made our visit such a happy one. We also heard they usually have a long line that goes out the door, so we were pretty lucky when we found ourselves only with a few other people ahead of us when we visited. Although after we got our order, the stream of people that arrived seemed endless. If you find yourself in Uptown Sedona, please stop by and get some of their ice cream. I know I will when we go to Sedona again!

    We stopped in here for some ice cream and nabbed a parking spot right out front (it was also just…read morepast 6pm so free, yay). The shop is small and they don't have restrooms but they are definitely serving up some delicious goodies. We went all in on the apple pie sundae. We did the double crust (the crumble looked great but there was only a sad, small slice left and I wanted a bigger slice for the $10+ price tag). The pie slice was warm and gooey, we had an epic scoop of the malted vanilla on top (pro move over the regular vanilla), caramel sauce and whipped cream. It was AMAZING. Seriously, like a big hug of nostalgia. When we went it was cash only, not sure if that's normal (presumably not since it was a hand written sign on the door). The other ice cream and baked goods looked YUMMO so we will likely be back. Worth the splurge (both calories and money wise)

    Oh what an INCREDIBLE offering (all gluten-free, all vegetarian menu) in Sedona. Esp for those with…read moregluten sensitivities, it's a safe haven. Service was amazing too - attentive, friendly & joyous. Menu is innovative and while we didn't vibe with the taste of every item we tried, we enjoyed how healthy and gut friendly the food was. They say all their food is prepared in-house and is never from a can. Their dessert selection is amazing (tried the freshly baked vegan, GF scone which was soooo yum). The chocolates were good too but a tad overpriced imho. And omg, the seating in this restaurant is something else... there's PLENTY of inside and outdoor seating, incl their magical garden area.

    went after a chilly & rainy hike at devil's arch & it was a lovely place to warm up! absolutely…read moreloved the atmosphere & decor. great allergen-friendly & healthy food selection (i am gluten free & i believe everything on their menu is gluten free & vegetarian!) i got the activate "who needs coffee" latte & MAN was it GOOD! i did get it without the coconut oil, but i was worried it would taste too earthy but it genuinely was better than their actual hot chocolate (& tasted more like hot chocolate)! description: an infusion of supercharged vitality with supertonic chinese herbs & nutrient dense mesquite pod flower, chlorella, cacao powder, chaga, reishi, astragalus, rhodiola, cordyceps, magnolia bud, gynostemma, ophiopogon, eleuthero, shilajit, bamboo leaf, luo han gua, sea salt, in house made almond milk with coconut oil & maple for food, i got a side of 3 bean chili (navy, kidney & turtle beans, celery, bell pepper, onion, garlic, minced jalapeño, & cilantro) & a side of roasted sweet potato. i will say, the food was a bit cold BUT the workers were more than happy to warm it up/remake it for us. both dishes were great -- the sweet potatoes were soft & the beans were delicious. my sister also got the three bean chili & enjoyed it, my dad got the fiesta bowl & ate it all, & my mom really liked her corn chowder stew. we got two dosas, but didn't really like them at all/find them to be an authentic dosa. we also had to get some chocolates, of course! i chose the honey banana chocolate truffle (did not like) & maple hazelnut ganache blonde truffle (LOVED!). we also got the maple café mocha (my dad liked it), honey raspberry tart truffle, maple roasted pistachio blonde ganache truffle, maple lil peanut butter cup (my sister liked this one), & the maple chocolate chai truffle. they also offer a selection of medicinal/herbal/hippie/crystal products which were fun to browse. fun place! would recommend & come again if we ever visit sedona again. their outdoor patio seems lovely but it was cold & rainy.

    Little hole in the wall place, ok seating in and out, but I came for ice cream and not other food,…read moreso rating on that. Service: good. Only one employee, friendly but efficient young lady with a good attitude. Food: some of the best house made ice cream I've had with a variety of flavors - and they don't skimp! Super creamy but not overly sweet. Great texture. I had raspberry chipotle ( I think it was raspberry) with thin chocolate flakes. Excellent chocolate. Ice cream vanilla with the berry syrup mixed in. About 2-3 seconds after a mouthful of flavor comes the kick, not too bad. Very good. My son had cookies and cream - loaded with cookies. Wife Carmel. We are here for a week and will likely go back. Delicious! Didn't get pics because everyone devouring their cones!

    I was really excited to finally try Rocky Rd's Ice Cream Parlor after driving by it several times…read more I'm a big fan of local creameries, especially when traveling, and I always enjoy sampling flavors before deciding which will be the winning scoops. I ended up choosing the rocky road. It was good overall, with a generous amount of marshmallows and chopped almonds, but the texture was a bit too soft for my liking. The small bits of chopped almonds just added to my dissatisfaction of the texture. While the taste was enjoyable, it wasn't something I'd go out of my way to get again especially since I was treated rudely. Unfortunately, what really turned me off was the service. While I was waiting for my waffle cone, my son was trying a few flavors and really liked one with Butterfinger bits. He asked me to get a sample so I can try how good it is. The young woman helping us (with blondish-red hair) clearly noticed we had already ordered and responded with a rude, dismissive look. She handed me the sample and said, "I need to take care of these other customers," in a tone that made us feel like we were an inconvenience. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Sampling is a normal part of the experience at ice cream shops, and the interaction felt unwelcoming. Because of that experience, I didn't recommend this place to others in my group, and I wouldn't return. I would have been happier with a soft serve cone at the Sedona McDonald's!

    Good quality of ice cream. Went here when there was nobody. We got served the ice cream right away…read more This is absolutely one of the best sorbet I have tried in Sedona. The lady (whom I suspect the owner) based on other reviews was rude. Based on my comment, it is her personality, besides it is Sedona, where people just comfortable being themselves and not fake. She was treating us good though during our visit.

    What a rude service!! Never coming back here again…read more The lady working came after me outside after I told her I was done talking to her. She has customers waiting and came outside . Wow Here is what happened Last year we had a great experience coming to this ice cream shop. And the reason why we came back is because they had this delicious vegan option. So we made this trip special to come to the shop. So the only two vegan options they had today was two different types of sorbets. And then I asked that last time I was here I was given a chocolate option. She said no these are the only two options and then the owner was there. She said I've never made anything else here. So then I thought about it and I looked through my pictures and I saw that in my cup I had a dark chocolate in my cup. So I went back inside and I said oh my gosh I'm so sorry I made a mistake. You're right I didn't have a vegan ice cream that was not a sorbet. It was like a chocolate cake because I remember someone offered me that the only vegan thing that they have here is a chocolate cake and then this lady that's working here totally cut me off and said "no!! The owner has only made these two vegan options! There is no other option!" She didn't let me talk and she was so rude ! So I left as this lady was not going to have a normal conversation with me so I told her why do you have to rude and went outside . She then ran outside and yelled at mez That is SO UNPROFESSIONAL and rude.
