We arrived a few minutes after they opened on a Friday morning (Juneteenth). The woman behind the counter was extremely friendly and was so kind to suggest ice cream flavors for both of us. My kiddo is a chocolate fan, so he went with a small size chocolate with sprinkles and I went with their popular Blue Coconut dipped in Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. When she brought out our ice cream, I thought "oh, how simple" but the moment you take a bite of that ice cream, the flavor is far from simple. It's like that McDonald's ice cream soft serve style creaminess texture and flavor, but slightly richer. The coconut flavor with the sea salt dark chocolate crunch for me was exactly what I needed on that hot desert morning. Seating was plentiful inside and the customer service was definitely on point. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other dessert options like the crepes and even their boba teas.

It isn't overly sweet and heavy. But still packs quite a flavor punch. The employees are very nice too. The parlor was clean and had a lively feel. The final plus is the price. All of the choices were $8.99. I think that's a deal by today's standards.

I actually loved all 3 flavors our family tried - the combos of fruit, sauces, and ice cream were interesting and delicious. Our only quibble was the ice cream itself. We just didn't love the taste - they mostly tasted like the toppings with not much flavor to the ice cream. The texture felt a bit off, maybe due to the rolling. Honestly, this would have been much better with just good quality ice cream and the same toppings/combos they offered. We probably won't return. It's in Mekong Plaza and we found parking easily, but it can get crowded on weekends, so plan ahead.

Pie Snob Chandler 250 S Arizona Ave Suite #4,…read more Quiches & Pies Chandler, AZ 85225 After a rather unsatisfactory visit to Quiches & Pies, I found myself yearning for a delicious apple pie. A quick Google search led me to Pie Snob Chandler, located at 250 S Arizona Ave Suite #4, Chandler, AZ 85225, just a short three-mile drive away. Upon my arrival at Pie Snob Chandler, I was warmly welcomed by two friendly staff members who greeted me with genuine smiles. I patiently waited as they assisted another customer, and soon it was my turn to place an order. I decided to try the Apple Crumble, and I must say, both the service and the pie exceeded my expectations. The flavors were delightful, and the overall experience was fantastic. I will certainly return whenever I have a craving for pie!

Have seen the advertising for this place and we decided to come for dessert after dinner elsewhere…read more Was excited and all of had previewed the menu prior to coming in. The shop itself is clean and cutely decorated. Love the story of how this fun concept was created and learned that they are franchised in several other states as well. Staffing was young people, friendly and smiling as we took our time to order...even though we had previewed the menu, you always have to take time to reread everything once in the store! Three of us are banana fiends and as soon as one of us ordered the Bananas Foster, we were told they didn't have any bananas. One of the young men shared that they had been out of them for a few days and when their order was delivered the day before, still no bananas. After noticing that there are four or five different options that use bananas, it was odd that the crew didn't figure out another way to get bananas. One of our group said aloud, "wonder about getting some petty cash out of the till and going over to the supermarket to purchase some?" No response, just a repeat that we wouldn't be able to order anything that had bananas in it. Ok, so I am a big strawberry/banana fan and I had to pivot and ended up ordering a chocolate malt. Two others also order the chocolate malt, and I'm glad they got theirs first because they both said it didn't taste like malt was in it, just chocolate. I asked for a double scoop of malt in mine and the outcome was perfect with a nice malt flavor. So if ordering the malt, go for double scoop! Wife had the Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae and she enjoyed it. She said the vanilla ice cream had a great, strong vanilla flavor and although the hot fudge wasn't "hot", it was a good dish she said. We had one other situation occur while there: One friend had ordered a malt without whip cream. The young man making it squirted a ton of whip cream on the top and when she reminded him no whip, he took his gloved hand and removed the whip cream from the top of the drink, put the lid on and called it good. What???? And then I also had sad no whip and as mine was being made, a squirt of whip was added and when he realized it was no whip, he used the lid of the container to remove the tad of whip from the top. What??? These two situations along with the banana fiasco equates to a three star rating from me. Overall it was a fun experience but obviously the crew could use some additional training as well as figuring out how to go around the system when something as important as bananas aren't in your order. Go buy some from the store!

Wow! What more needs to be said? This bakery was an absolute delight from start to finish…read more Located in the lobby of an apartment building, the space is beautiful, cozy, and welcoming. As I looked around, I couldn't help but think that if I lived there, I'd probably be stopping in daily. The combination of a bakery and coffee house makes it the perfect neighborhood spot. Although I skipped the coffee this visit--it was mid-afternoon on a Sunday, and I wasn't looking for a caffeine boost--I'll definitely be back to give it a try. For this visit, we focused on the baked goods and sampled four items: the chocolate croissant doughnut, maple croissant doughnut, vanilla doughnut, and a red velvwtcupcake. Every single one was delicious. The croissant doughnuts were wonderfully flaky with just the right amount of sweetness, the vanilla doughnut was soft and flavorful, and the red velvet cupcake was rich and satisfying. It's rare to find a bakery where every item you try is a winner, but this one delivered across the board. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, a sweet treat, or both, this charming bakery is well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

Second time visiting and I have to go with 3.5. Just an okay spot for me…read more It's in the title, too sweet lol I didn't write a review the first time I went and I remember leaving with a Soso feeling and the second time confirms my feelings. Perhaps dining in is a better experience, I can't remember if they warm up the pastry but we took our maple, cheesecake croissant, and cinnamon roll to go. It tasted a day old. The croissant/ bread didn't taste fresh, almost stale. I opted to warm it up a bit, it was a bit better but then it just started feeling too sweet so I wasn't interested anymore. the cinnamon roll breading lacked flavor, but the cream on top was good. But again the bread dough just felt stale. It was a Sunday in the AM that we went. Not busy at all. Since it's a part of an apartment, parking is a little awkward and can feel tight. You could easily not notice the place and mistake it for being closed. It's right off of the round about. (the wind had blew over the open sign and the open sign wasn't lit) Service is okay, nice enough. Not really warm. Seating is ample and is cozy to sit and read or catch up with a friend.
