    We came here for the respados, we got a mangonada and it was pretty good. The service was friendly and the ambiance was great. We could taste the freshness in the drinks . I liked the earthy vibe the place had. We loved the drinks we got here and looking forward to the next time!

    Absolutely incredible award winning hole in the wall! The staff were very attentive (special order) and made a perfect milkshake! We'll be back, soon!

    A must-try if you are ever in the area and looking for some scrumptious snacks! Alebrije's has it all! From savory to sweet. There were so many menu options that I wanted to try. Everything that I ordered was 10/10. The service was quick and we had so many things to admire with the decor while we waited. I asked and the employee said they have been open for over 6 years. There is a parking lot and the location was very easy to find. The business is located close to the freeway which made our stop easy.

    Great spot for refreshing treats!

    Super tasty treats and the staff was patient and kind. The little store is super cute and clean.

    The Ferraro shake!!! I ate the candy off the top, but it still looks awesome

    We came here just for drinks. For the cucumber lime juice and horchata. The juice was refreshing and had flavors of lime and cucumber. The horchata was smooth and sweet, one of the better drinks I've had in the area. Small place with good service. Decorated in a fun way.

    Very good neveria. Not the best but good. Definitely one of the least friendly ones I've ever been to which is odd as most are way over the top bubbly and kind. I didn't even know someone was at the counter. Doesn't live up to its recent best in town but if you live close worth your patronage

    Just ice left over, barely any mango

    I order a mango raspado. I did not know they used canned fruit which totally changes the taste and experience. Other raspados I've had were big fresh chunks of fruit . When I asked about getting a different one which fresh fruit the lady said this is fresh fruit which is it not, canned fruit has a very distinct taste and cubed in small little pieces. On top it being canned fruit it was mainly just ice more than half of it I couldn't eat anymore cause it's just ice. There was only one person working and I know that's hard but she would disappear for some periods of time. Just not an enjoyable experience, wouldn't come back.

    Creamy, salty, and yummy! Good size for the price too. It was clean inside and they were friendly and quick.

    mangoneada

    Absolutely delicious, they use real fruit not flavorings. The mangoneada is 5 stars hands down

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.

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 :(

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.

The old pink diner set up is everything my parents experienced in their childhood. There is even a little arcade with rides in the back. I stopped in just for ice cream. They offered me a seat at the counter with some water while I chose my flavor. This turned into looking at a menu and ordering a lunch. However, ice cream first. I mean it was 104° outside. I had pecan ice cream and it hit the spot. I ordered a turkey BLT and it was really good. I brought it back to my hotel and nibbled on it for the next two days. I was shocked the bread was still decent. The lettuce bacon and turkey all held up as well. It looked just as fresh. I will definitely stop here again.
