    Toppings
    Debbi P.

    Always a great yummy experience!!! Delicious flavors, amazing toppings, super clean store!!! Friendly staff!!!

    The excessive amount of toppings.
    Mary P.

    We wanted to like Cherry on Top. We tried to like Cherry on Top. But somewhere between the first disappointing bite of frozen yogurt and the mountain of single-use plastic waste, things took a turn for the porky. Let's start with the flavors. The so-called "original tart" was less tart and more coconut catastrophe. It tasted like someone dropped a scoop of sunscreen into the mix and hoped for the best. The other options weren't much better--either weirdly artificial or flat-out forgettable. If you're looking for a rich, refreshing froyo experience... this ain't it. But what really stuck in our teeth (besides the mediocre yogurt) was the plastic problem. Every topping came in its own individually packaged container. It was like a mini landfill on our tray. Unnecessary, wasteful, and honestly, probably raising their costs for no reason. For a self-serve yogurt place, it felt weirdly un-serve-yourself. Not to mention it completely kills the vibe of casual, fun dessert with friends when you're sitting there peeling plastic lids like you're opening rations in a froyo fallout shelter. We're not here to hate--this is constructive criticism. We genuinely want Cherry on Top to succeed. But for that to happen, something has to change: 1. Rethink your packaging--you can be clean and safe without drowning in plastic. 2. Rework your recipes--especially that "original tart." Seriously. 3. Revamp your vibe--froyo should feel fun, not frustrating. We hope to come back someday and rewrite this review with a cherry on top of a much better experience. But until then... it's a no from us.

    Froyo! After walking from store to store, it was tiring. A cool treat was calling my name. I went into Cherry on Top for a frozen yogurt. The first thing to do is check the flavors. They have at least 6 (if not more) different flavors. I got a cup and honed in on strawberry lemonade sorbet and raspberry pomegranate. The sorbet was a bit runny but both flavors were distinct. The pomegranate was tangy and satisfying. I sat in the A/C store watching the huge flat screen with silly and funny videos while enjoying my treat. The staff was nice and welcoming. Shared outdoor parking.

    Fun!

    The yogurt was smooth and stayed frozen until we got home. Separated containers for toppings was definitely different but I understand why.

    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.

My friend got 2 scoops of the Gooey Butter Cake in a waffle bowl and also purchased 2 boxes of the single serving Gooey Butter Cake to take home. Those 12 packs are pretty expensive. I think our total for everything was between $80-90! Highly recommend the two flavors I got though if you come try this place. You won't be disappointed.

Lots of seating inside and some outside too. Staff very friendly here and I got to try the coconut sorbet (which was super yummy) and also the mango sticky rice. I chose the mango sticky rice and enjoyed this treat. Next time, I might get half coconut sorbet and half mango sticky rice as I absolutely love coconut!

My grandparents who were visiting from out of town, loved it. Overall, it was a delicious treat, beautiful store and hit the spot. I do feel the price point is a tad steep and they didn't have any children of small offerings, but I suppose that goes hand in hand with the luxe vibe. I would definitely return, but also a few other local spots that equally hit the mark.
