Came with a small group of friends for an evening of sweet treats; first time for us to be here…read more Let me start by saying, the 4 stars are for the product itself...I would have truly given 2 stars for the two young men working that evening. Having never been, it took us some time to get the feel of the treats, watch others order, study the menu and then deciding on what to order. Several others in our group had been previously and they all had suggestions as well to share. Both of us got a small Jelati, which is a layered mix of Italian Ice and soft serve ice cream...you can also choose to have toppings like sprinkles, Oreo cookie crumbs, butter cookies, etc. I decided on the Key West Tropical (a wonderful tasting mix of pineapple, mango, passion fruit, banana, and coconut) layered with vanilla soft-serve and no toppings. Also, I choose the small size which was actually perfect for a tasty treat. The Jelati itself was so good...creamy and the Tropical ice was amazing and so made me want to be in the tropics! Wife decided on the lemon ice layered with vanilla and no toppings. She loved it but did say it needed a tad more of that lemon tart flavor. We will come back to try some of the other flavor combos...highly recommend this place for nice, cool, summer treat! Now on to the reason I initially said I would give 2 stars for the employees. As I was watching them make treats, I observed no gloves, I observed both touching their faces and hair, rubbing hands on pants, etc. When I was asked about ordering, I specifically asked that the young man making the treats please wash his hands and glove up, to which I got a look from the one taking the orders but he walked over to the other one, said something to him and he in turn took over the cash register while the initial young man who took the order went and washed his hands for a second or two, walked over to the gloves, put them on and made my treat. As soon as he was done, the gloves came off and he continued to make the following treats being ordered. Although nothing was said by either, the looks and overall tone was definitely changed but I really didn't care and just explained that food safety should be the top of their list. Just in case they see this...from the AzDHS food safety website: In Arizona, food workers must avoid bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods by using single-use gloves, tongs, or deli paper. We will be back for sure so hopefully employees are brought up to speed on safety requirements for washing hands and wearing gloves.

We went the soft-serve route & loved it. The mixed vanilla & chocolate swirl was delicious and…read moreperfectly smooth. The small size was more than enough, though in the summer I'd definitely go for a large. The young man working was very polite & happily offered samples until we decided on the soft-serve swirl. The cafe area was clean, well-lit & had plenty of tables to choose from. Parking was easy, too. We'll definitely be back soon.

What's the Scoop?! is exactly the kind of local spot I love. A great family-run shop, friendly…read moreservice, and the kind of place where you feel like you're visiting friends who happen to have an ice cream machine. yelp.com We went with a group and they were so nice about staying open late so we could keep hanging out. That alone deserves a few extra sprinkles. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel welcome even when you're clearly overstaying your dessert. The milkshakes are amazing, especially the pecan praline. Rich, creamy, and the kind of thing that makes you question whether you really needed dinner first. The Thrifty ice cream is the icing on the cake. Or, more accurately, the ice cream in the ice cream cake. Either way, it's a win. Great people, great treats, and a place that makes you want to come back. If you're in Tempe and need a sweet fix, this is your spot.

We came on a Friday night and received great service from Oliver. They explained the menu to me and…read morelet us sample a few ice cream flavors. They have several flavors: sherbets, sorbets, Italian ice, offer dairy free w/oat milk and more. They only offer outside seating with misters. We were able to sit outside and enjoy our treats. They will make, give your order first and then you provide your payment. I ordered three small cake cones and once they brought out the first one it was two huge scoops and I realized it was too much for us. Oliver informed us the small cake cones comes with two ice cream scoops and if we wanted one scoop we could order the kids cone. He changed our order to kids cones. I ordered the following flavors in a kids cake cone-1 scoop: Jamaican Me Crazy $4.89 (3/5) Southern Banana Puddin' $4.89 (2/5) Vanilla $4.89 (3/5)

Found this place as I was looking for dessert and ice cream after a meal. I was not expecting that…read morethere seemed to be a middle-eastern kitchen/cuisine offerings, but I wouldn't mind trying it one day. It was just interesting to have with a place that appeared to be for ice cream. The ice cream itself was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. A lot of different options and mixtures, but it was definitely on the more expensive side for what is being offered. My bigger gripe was that it took a long time despite there not being too many people. We were the only parties in there in the beginning and a buddy ordered a single scoop of ice cream first. When we had all finished individually ordering, more people arrived. Instead of giving us our orders first or even starting on it (again, our first friend ordered a normal scoop first), he went ahead and started with the customers that just arrived. That would be fine, but as he was the only worker, we had to wait almost 10 minutes before our ice cream was even started on.

I stopped in while walking by from work and was curious to try it. There's seating inside, and the…read moretwo ladies working the counter were very friendly and helpful, which made a great first impression. I ordered two small Thai teas with boba and one small Indian tea, and the total was $19, which felt a bit pricey for the portion sizes. The drinks were okay, but not anything that really stood out. They've also added a small food menu with Mediterranean-style snacks and gyros, which is a nice idea. Overall, it's not bad and convenient if you're nearby, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for.

In the area where you get your cup size of choice, gloves were provided as well as sample cups. We were able to serve ourselves and safely taste any flavor we wanted. If a glove got messy, ya just put on a new one. Everyone in the store was abiding by the rules and things went smoothly. Felt very safe to me on top of mask rule still in effect. In California we haven't figured out that this can work. Here, it was a nice treat and an enjoyable experience. Just as I remembered Yogurtland to be. It has been a while since my last visit, so I didn't realize how the price per ounce has increased. Be careful as you fill your cup. My $8 yogurt was delicious!

She was very fast and efficient and I loved how talkative she was. However, the only thing I'll say about cold stone is how runny the ice cream is. I personally like my ice cream to be a bit more thick. I also do really enjoy how many options for mix-ins they have and the variety of ice cream flavors! If you like customized ice cream with mix-ins I'd say this is a place you'd enjoy. Again, the service is amazing and I enjoy the variety but the ice cream can be a bit watery.

My wife was craving coffee ice cream with almonds and toffee so we stopped into the location in the Shoppes at Casa Paloma. It's tucked away so not easy to see from Ray Road. Upon entry, we received a friendly greeting and we ordered two custom like-it-sized cups. They have limited seating ... about 4 tables each with two chairs. We found the table with the least mess and enjoyed our treat. There was also one table outside but it was 100 degrees that day so I expect nobody wants a metal burn mark on their bottom and back. Overall, Cold Stone is a decent place to go. The ice cream is consistent but a tad pricy. If you have a larger family or party, you will not find enough seating together inside.
