Fresas con crema

By far the best fresa con crema with the best customer service! Would highly recommend this place to the valley of phoenix!

Halloween decorations
Leslie M.

Amazing ambiance and service !! deserts are yummy I recommend the brownie sundae it's made super warm with a crunchy outer layer and soft center

Sara M.

This spot is such a welcome addition to the area! There's music playing and it's such a vibe. There is a few tables inside and Armando was super helpful! We got a concha, elote and churro cheesecake. The place they get their concha's from are made fresh daily and served warm topped with cold ice cream and any toppings you want. The churro cheesecake is served with ice cream but I just got it topped with creama and fresh strawberries. It was super good. The elote was served warm with queso and Valentina. Overall a nice small business to come support with tasty treats that are sweet and savory!

the interior of the store
Jessica G.

Very cute place! Love the decor. Armando was super nice and friendly. They have fresh baked Concha's brought from another bakery. They open it up like a bread bowl and fill it with whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream of your choice with toppings. Whoever thought of this idea is brilliant! It was delicious and glad I came to try it out. It was a bit of a drive but worth it. I definitely recommend.

Churro cheesecake
Nick C.

I've been in here a couple times and was surprised this last time that they've torn down a wall, expanded and are preparing to serve food. The service has always been very friendly and helpful with suggestions. This time I got a churro cheesecake that was on special and went with coffee ice cream to top it. They recommended adding the white sauce and I'm really glad I did. Everything was really good. It's a fun little place to stop by for a refreshing bite and enjoy some friendly local service.

Dining area

Delicious ice cream, friendly service, and what I think was a live house DJ? Stopped in to cap the night with a sweet treat and having never been I was excited by the recommendation. We asked to be surprised and we were not disappointed. Chocolate and vanilla ice cream in a Concha bread bowl with cream and strawberries along with chocolate chips. Can't wait to go back and try more as I know we could have gotten a lot more creative! Enjoyed eating in the cute dining room and I believe there was a live DJ in the other room keeping the vibes high!

Cookies

Brought my cousin here since this was his last night in Phoenix and he wanted a quick dessert. The first thing I noticed when we stepped in, was how we were welcomed in. The gentlemen begging the counter was very kind and patient with my cousin, giving him info and opinions. My cousin finally decided that he didn't want the churro cheesecake, and got the concha with ice cream instead. He loved it! I got the cheesecake- delicious! You definitely won't regret going here for some ice cream! I'll definitely go back!!

Adorable little mom and pop shop! Their corn in a cup was hot and fresh and their nachos wasn't to bad. Service went well, the lady working was very polite. Their decor was super cute! I liked the art work of Tanjiro and pickachu hehe

Agnes P.

Great service and wonderful selection of shaved ice, ice cream, and elote. Will be back very soon to try more!

Raspados
Christina K.

Great place to stop by for a cold treat on a hot day! Corn was sold out when we went. So we grabbed two Raspados. Delicious!! Staff was friendly, place was nice and clean.

Strawberry Raspados with Sweet Cream
Shirley S.

Nestled in a tiny strip mall, Valley Ice Cream Shop offers up cool treats and a side of music. The mood is set before you enter the restaurant. Park your car and, you'll hear the sounds of Mexican music echoing from the speaker perched near the front door. Inside is a small, yet, festive ice cream shop. The employee stood at the ready, but I needed some time. For a dessert spot, the menu is fairly extensive. You'll probably need a few moments to review all the options, then a few more to talk yourself out of ordering everything on the menu. For my first visit, I settled on the Strawberry Raspados with sweet cream. It was refreshing and tasty. The large size lasted over an hour. Since I displayed a little restraint and DIDN'T order the entire menu, I'll need to visit again soon.

Concha Deluxe
Jacquie W.

Very nice staff and excellent dessert! We got the concha deluxe which comes with ice cream and they were delicious. The interior is adorable as well. Highly recommend!

Marisa F.

Fun place to stop and grab some unique treats! Concha sundaes and shaved ice were yummy!

After a hot day touring the ASU campus and Encanto Park, we decided we definitely needed a sweet…read moretreat, so we stopped at Churn. There isn't any indoor seating, so this is more of a grab-your-ice-cream-and-go kind of place. After being out in the Arizona heat all day, we didn't mind one bit! My friend got a scoop of peanut butter pecan in a pretzel cone, which I thought was such a unique combination. She said it was really tasty, and I have to admit the pretzel cone definitely caught my attention. My daughter went with peanut butter ice cream in a waffle cone. The waffle cones are made homemade right there, and they also make their cookies in-house, which made everything feel extra special. I ordered a salted caramel sundae with butter pecan ice cream, and let me tell you--it was amazing! It was the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and creamy. My sundae also came with a cookie, so of course I had to try it, and it was so good. You could definitely tell it was freshly made. After spending the day exploring Arizona in the heat, ice cream was exactly what we needed. Churn was the perfect way to cool down and end our day on a sweet note!

What a great custom menu with lots of creative choices for ice-cream, ice-cream sandwiches, shake and floats, coffee and coffee desserts. Custom rotating flavors that we tried and sampled as we decided. Love how there's a secret back entrance to the ice cream parlor from Windsor Cocktail Bar next door. This is part of a cluster of good restaurants of different types along Central Avenue in Uptown. Parking available right in front of the entrance as well as around back in a private parking lot. I was so tempted by several items on the menu, but since I had just had a large lunch, I chose to try a single scoop of the Vietnamese coffee ice cream. So delicious and I loved the tiny specks of coffee. Hubs got a double scoop of strawberry ice cream, and my son got a strawberry shake. We all really enjoyed the interior and decor of the ice cream shop and the high-quality and good flavors of the ice cream. Service is really great here. The ladies were really working hard and going as fast as they could, and it didn't look easy scooping the large scoops of frozen hard ice cream. There was a line out the door on the Saturday afternoon that we showed up that moved quickly.

My friends and I stopped in for dessert around 8pm on a Tuesday, and it wasn't very busy. There were a few different seating areas inside and some outside too. There are three ice cream flavors (vanilla, mixed or chocolate) to choose from, then different toppings depending on what you order, one size only. After studying the menu I decided to try the Fluffynutter'n which has peanut butter, banana and marshmallows. It was delicious!!! I think this place also does breakfast/brunch which would be fun to check out. I can't wait to come back and try all the other options!

Ultimately this doesn't matter to me as I just want the ice cream. Today I was on my way to work and decided to treat myself to a coffee. Knowing that they're vegan, I thought non-dairy milk would be included. Nowhere was I able to find which milk was included in the price- so I asked for oat milk. I was charged NINTEY CENTS (.90) for an upcharge. Rather than saying oh it comes with soy milk, or hey it's a .90 cent upcharge, the barista just added it on no questions asked. I had reviewed the menu online and in the extras it does not include oat milk, which is why I assumed it came with it. My coffee ultimately came out to $9.16. What a joke. I will definitely not be coming back here for anything besides ice cream from here on out and even that is a hard maybe. I wish more places had pricing integrity- their website doesn't reflect it and neither did the barista. *edit to add the coffee is extremely sweet and milky, tastes more like sweet milk than a latte :(

Novel has a great roster of rotating flavors to sample if you have a hard time making up your mind. For my visit, I tried out a limited-time scoop called "Hangry Honey Bee" inside of a donut. Absolute bliss is all I can say about it. Doesn't break the bank, but definitely breaks my standards of dessert places on Phoenix now because of how great Novel is. On-top of the unique flavors that are changing alongside the many ways of customizing your scoop, the staff were very friendly from start to finish. Will absolutely visit Novel again for another delectable treat.

Novel is located in a cute little courtyard with some other businesses. The ordering is done at a little window. The people working there seemed like they didn't care -- but they were kids working at a job where the ice cream probably dyes your hands blue and the donut smell probably makes you gag after a while -- so I get it! It is a fun concept and I love this cute little area of downtown PHX. I would come back and try a different combo -- but only when I am so hungry (not after dinner, LOL)

A Nostalgic, Must-Visit Dessert Destination in Old Town Scottsdale…read more Our party of six visited the Sugar Bowl for dessert following a friend's birthday dinner. Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream. It was as delicious as I remembered.
