Graveyard Circus.

I would never have known it wasn't ice cream. So delicious!! I highly recommend them.

Banana cream pie

This is our second time we ate at Vampire Penguin. The first time we had banana cream pie and it was to die for! This time we had Mexican watermelon with some accommodations and they were so willing to accommodate us. The Mexican watermelon brought us Italian ice vibes. You wouldn't regret it! It's good enough to share it but I highly recommend to not! Too good to share!

The Sicilian Baker - Peoria - Custard Lobster Tail and Flag Cookie

Funny enough, my sister & I were watching Nonnas & the first ten minutes made us want the pastries…read more So, we stopped to think where could we get a pastry? I remembered this place. It happened to be a little under twenty minutes away from us so we decided let's do it & they were open late. Hell yeah. There's not a crazy amount of pastries but the selection was great. We got two tiramisus, one vanilla custard lobster tail, some mini cannolis, & the wedding cookies. Everything came out to about $50 so beware, prices aren't exactly cheap. But for one, if you're going to do "bad" then do it right & we also shared with our family of 5 so plenty to go around. & Holy cow, everything was incredible. So indulgent, decadent & rich in flavor. My nephews liked the cannolis, personally they're not my favorite, but if you're into it the mini's are a great option to quench the craving. The lobster tail with the vanilla custard took me by surprise. I didn't think I was going to care for it, but the cold custard was refreshing & the flakiness of the bread was crazy, my taster buds were confused by the textures, but in the best way. They complemented each other well. My ultimate favorite was the tiramisu & the wedding cookies. I honestly wish I had gotten more of the wedding cookies, those things took me back. I grew up eating the Mexican ones & the Italians did it right *applause* But damn, the tiramisu was to die for. I would order that again & again. Perfectly chilled, the dusting of the cocoa powder didn't taste like nesquik--incredible. At first the price had me thinking if we were doing too much, like damn, should we have just gone to Sprouts bakery? But after being able to indulge in a great quality dessert, it was worth every dollar. My only feedback, careful when you're paying at the register. If you're not paying attention, the tip automatically defaults to 18% on the tablet. Only thing I didn't care for. I could see if I was eating at the restaurant, but I just popped in to take pastries to go. So, that was kind of annoying. The service was fine, the girl that helped me was nice, but again I just pointed at desserts I wanted & went home. The location is part of the main restaurant, but it has its own entrance & little room making it feel separate to the Sicilian Butcher. They also carry gelato which I haven't tried yet. I believe they have little tables to sit at also. Highly recommend checking this out so save room for dessert!

This was a lobster roll with vanilla cream from the Sicilian Butcher/ Baker was AMAZING. The…read moreoutside was shaped like a lobster tail but it was like a croissant . Hard and flakey on the outside was soft on the inside and then it had vanilla cream or you had a choice of Nutella. I'm really glad I do not live anywhere near this restaurant. Otherwise I'd be there every other day, getting one of these, they were so good. They had gelato and an original cannoli among with so many other desserts! You got to pick your shell and filling for the cannoli. My MIL said their gelato tastes like it did when she traveled to Italy. All of the desserts looked AMAZING. We went there with my MIL for Christmas Eve dinner. My dish for dinner was ok but I should have got the lasagna as it was a smaller portion than what everyone else got.

This is the most outstanding coffee and dessert venue I have EVER been to! They have unbelievably…read morecreative coffee creations and matcha tea and the desserts....I can't begin to describe. They have croffles on the menu (a kind of croissant / waffle hybrid) and they are delectable! My husband and I got the Dubai chocolate croffle and it was beautifully presented (sorry I didn't take a picture to post). It was crunchy, sweet, creamy inside with a beautiful pistachio and chocolate drizzle. A piece of dessert heaven! I had a "Hot pistachio" to drink. A pistachio latte on steroids with actual pieces of pistachios in the drink! The decor is beautiful. It has a modern feel and it feels like you are sitting in a cafe in Dubai with smooth jazz in the background. My husband and I will return many times over....too many good desserts to try, pleasant atmosphere and staff!!! Can't wait to come back!

First time visiting Shaghf Cafe, conveniently located near the ASU West Campus. The cafe itself is…read morespacious, open, and offers plenty of indoor seating with a calm and tranquil atmosphere. The staff was welcoming, patient, and went through popular items over the menu with me. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte with oat milk substituted in place of the standard milk, hoping it would create a creamier and slightly sweeter flavor profile. Unfortunately, the drink did not meet my expectations. Instead of tasting balanced and refreshing, it leaned more sour than sweet, and the creaminess from the oat milk was not very noticeable. Despite the drink being disappointing, I still enjoyed the atmosphere and overall vibe of the cafe. I've heard great things about their coffee from others, so I'd be willing to return and give the cafe another try in hopes of a better experience next time. Large Strawberry Matcha Latte ~ $ 11.64

We placed an order through Uber for pickup since we had some credits to use, and the process was…read morevery easy. We ordered the two-scoop special for under $8--strawberry cheesecake and Oreo ice cream. We were able to go straight to the pickup area and avoid the line, and our order was prepared right away. We enjoyed our ice cream while sitting off to the side. There are chairs and tables in an open area where kids can play, or you can simply relax and enjoy your treats. The location is in a plaza surrounded by other businesses like Grimaldi's Pizzeria, Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, and Bath & Body Works, which makes it a nice spot to visit.

Another win at Park West--this outdoor shopping area is just so cute, and Handel's fits right in…read moreperfectly. The shaded outdoor seating is a huge plus, especially in the Arizona heat--such a great spot to hang and enjoy something sweet. Their menu is massive, with tons of ice cream flavors, shakes, cones, and more--but they also offer a couple vegan options, which I appreciated. I went with the mixed berry sherbet (vegan) and added mixed nuts... SO good. Perfectly balanced--not too sweet, not too tart, just super refreshing. Fair warning: a "small" is basically three scoops high My husband got the chocolate peanut butter brownie and loved it. Friendly service, generous portions, and an overall great vibe. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.
