    Marshmallow at bottom of cone
    Edward M.

    Great ice cream w/ fresh waffle cones and super welcoming and friendly owner. It's a great hangout where u can get to know the owner and really make it a hangout at a friends rather than just going to a restaurant. The owner makes the waffles herself, we happened to get one of the fresh ones when we were there, I assume the rest were made earlier in the day. She puts a marshmallow in the bottom of the cone so the ice cream doesn't leak out the bottom, very nice touch. Ice Cream is from Karen's Kreamery, she gets new flavors on Thursdays she said. When we were there, we went twice, and the Ube is, wow just so wow, you have to try it and get it. The monster was nice for those that want cookies on cookies, and then put it on a cookie sandwich to make it even more cookies lol. If you plan to go again, get a punch card, which she stores for you :) You can also get pints, mystery mixed flavor is a bit cheaper too.

    We took our kids here to get a treat after dinner, I wish their hours were a little later in the evening though, but we made it shortly before they closed. My kids each got a scoop of ice cream in a cone, I like that they have different cone options available and so did my kids as both of them selected a different cone type. My husband got two scoops in a bowl (Monster Cookie ice cream) as they were out of the waffle cones by the time we arrived, and I got a sandwich cookie (Dogers Delilght ice cream). I also got a small thing of pumpkin praline ice cream to take home. The pumpkin ice cream taste like someone took a pumpkin roll and turned it into ice cream, it is so good. The ice cream was so good and I love the handmade cookies they use for the ice cream sandwiches they are soft, delicious and loaded full of chocolate chips. They also offer sugar cookies instead if you prefer. The woman working the day we were there was so sweet, kind and fantastic to talk with. Customer service is fantastic here and I like how clean the little shop was, how much seating they have outside and the over all look on this place. I would 100% visit here again when I am in that area of town.

    We love some good ice cream and Papa Ed's has been on our need to try list for a while. We went on a Saturday around noon and there were quite a few people walking around all the shops and neighborhood. The ice cream shop is behind the first building tucked in the back. It's beautiful. There's tables to sit at and plenty of shade. They were letting in one family at a time which is great so we sat and waited our turn. Upon walking in its small and cute. There is about 10 or so different flavors to choose from. We got a strawberry and vanilla bean in a waffle cone and then a cup of monster cookie and a cup of mint chip. There was also a coupon for a first time Yelp check in which we used. Only $12 for it all! The flavors of ice cream had seriously the perfect balance of flavor and creaminess. The hubs said the strawberry ice cream was the best he's ever had. It was perfect blend of strawberry and cream. So good. The kids loved the monster cookie which had chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough and Oreo. The mint chip had the perfect amount of mint flavor, not too powerful and lots of mini chocolate chips. Overall, probably some of the best ice cream we have ever had to date and friendly employees. We love supporting small local businesses and hubs already tried to go a second time on Sunday only to realize they were closed Sunday. I'm sure we will be stopping in again this week!

    The street view! It's so cute

    The ice cream was delicious! We had honey lavender, Graham Canyon, & pumpkin praline! I wish we were able to get a little more ice cream in our cones since it was so good! Wish they had punchcards because I know we will be back!

    It took me a year to get here and I'm about 12 miles away. I love that they make their ice cream and the neighborhood is so darn charming it's hard to resist. I tried a few (that's an option) and fell in love with the honey lavender. They didn't have enough for a full serving so I opted for the Açaí Bowl and a baby scoop of the honey lavender... I know that may sound weird but that ice cream is the BOMB! You must try it. It's very affordable and the gals were friendly other than they didn't know where more of the ice cream was when they were out of certain flavors. The garden is so sweet. We will be back and being friends from out of town for sure

    Located a couple blocks from downtown, in the backyard of a row of older homes, this place is cool. I'm guessing from the daily menu of flavors that they're not always the same. We tried a few different flavors, Monster Cookie, Mint Chocolate Chip, Strawberry and Chocolate. All were amazing. Now I chose to have my selection, Monster Cookie, in a waffle cone. They make the waffle cones on site. Now I've had waffle cones at many places. This was the best I've had. It wasn't cracked, it didn't crack and break apart, it didn't leak. Perfection. Seriously. They were out of Carmel pumpkin crumble by the time we arrived, late in the day. We'll be coming back soon so we can get a bit of that.

    Ice cream with my mom. Perfect.

    Been wanting to come by here for years, but my business kept me there. Nice to meet Linda and the ice cream is amazing. Sweet cozy location in Glendale.

    We had the pumpkin pie ice cream pie. It was very good and had an Oreo crust. The pumpkin pie flavor was light and not overpowering. There were little pieces of chocolate chips inside. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of it. However, it didn't look anything out of the ordinary, so it's not too much of a loss to not have taken a photo. If I remember correctly, the pumpkin pie ice cream was a light tan color while the Oreo crust was black. I remember the Oreo crust well. The ice cream itself was sweet and uniform except for the little pieces of chocolate chips that were inside. The pie is frozen and needs to be defrosted before being cut into slices for serving. The slices came out really cute once cut. I enjoyed the flavor and would be interested in trying one of the other flavors that are available. The peppermint candy chip, Mrs. claus cookie, and the blueberry churro sound interesting. Especially, if the blueberry just has the flavor and not whole chunks of blueberry in it. The same with the peppermint candy chip, if it just has the flavor and not chunks of peppermint candy in it. Some of the other flavors seem quite unique, such as the lemon lavender. I had that flavor before at a bakery and in their version, I could taste primarily the lemon and then an after taste of lavender.

    This little ice cream shop in Historic Glendale is so cute! They have indoor as well as outdoor seating. Service was excellent and the variety of flavors changes consistently. I had a scoop of mint monster and a scoop of candy corn in their pumpkin spice cone and it was delicious. My husband really enjoyed his lavender flavored ice cream. In addition to these unique flavors, they also carry more traditional flavors as well. I will definitely be back here in the near future.

    Cutest little ice cream shop in old town Glendale. It's tucked away in the back of another business but easy to find with signage. I got the raspberry horchata and Cookie Monster and both were delicious. Will definitely come back when we visit AZ again. Highly recommend!!!

Yes, she said this is the place to go for the best ICE CREAM!!! Oh Yes! I ordered the banana cream pie, one scoop, on a cake cone. Yum! This is made with fresh bananas. Love it! They both ordered the Mint chocolate-chip, two scoops, on a cake cone. I, of course, had to help him from dripping, lol. I have to say, this was the Best! It is so good! Made with BIG pieces of chocolate. I am def gonna order this next time, and I want to try the cherry and the rocky road. We drove through the drive through after dinner and the sun was just going down. The staff that stands outside to take your order is so friendly, cheery, patient (it was my first time) , and helpful. They really do earn a little tip and they really do show their appreciation. There was a short line, but it moves quickly. They do have a cool covered patio area with tables and it is surrounded by misters. Doesn't that sound like an ice cream summer paradise?!? If you are in the area check it out!

The place wasn't busy at all and had plenty of room to browse without any crowds or long lines, which made the whole experience feel pretty chill and enjoyable. Yogurtinis self-serve setup is great because you get to play mixologist with an impressive selection of frozen yogurt flavors. I loved the freedom to create exactly what I wanted, no pre-set cups or limited combos here. The topping bar is a highlight too with dozens of choices, from fresh fruits and nuts to candies, sauces, cereals, and sprinkles. It's easy to go overboard, but you can keep it simple or load up for maximum fun. Just a heads-up, the pricing is by weight so your final cost depends on how much yogurt and toppings you pile on. It's straightforward once you weigh your cup at the end, but it can add up if you're generous with the extras! Overall, it's a solid choice for a customizable, refreshing treat especially if you're in the mood to experiment. Clean, bright vibe, friendly staff from what we saw, and that post-movie cool down hit the spot. We'll definitely swing by again when we're craving something sweet and personalized. Highly Recommended for froyo fans who like control over their creation!

I'm surprised there is no review here. The location hasn't changed much at all. It was clean, service was friendly and the flavors are great.

It can get a bit pricy since they weigh the bowl. So be aware at how much you load up unless you don't care about that stuff. They do offer a point system for dollars off of you add your phone number. Good deal if you come often. Parking is easy and never a problem. Easy in and out if you know the layout of the lot. There is a light out to Thunderbird so you don't get stuck when exiting onto 59th.

I ended up getting a chocolate milkshake and a 6-pack of oatmeal cookies I was able to take home and share, including chocolate chip (no nuts), chocolate walnut, peanut butter dark chocolate cashew, dark chocolate pecan, dark chocolate cashew, and oatmeal raisin with pecans (they have a nut-free version too). The taste of everything was phenomenal. The shake had the perfect consistency and a strong chocolatey flavor, yet wasn't too sweet. And the cookies were nice and chewy and loaded with delicious chunks of nuts and chocolate. Honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference between the nut and chocolate combo flavors as the oatmeal was really the highlight. The peanut butter one and oatmeal raisin were more recognizable. ALL of them were amazing!
