    If there's one thing you do, get the carrot cake Ice cream here. Oh my god. Maybe the best tasting ice cream flavor I've ever had. Here for vacation and now we feel like we need to go back and try the banana pudding flavor bc if it's anything like the carrot cake one then I may never leave scoop and joy We got one scoop in cups and the serving was massive. My kids loved the cute little faces they made, too!

    My friends and I stopped by mid-day for a little sweet treat and stumbled upon this ice cream shop that was nearby. Needless to say, Scoop and Joy did indeed fill us up with so much joy! As we walked in, we were greeted with the sweetest, delicious smells that resembled freshly baked waffle cones and the most whimsical interior, including delightful striped pink walls and teal booths. They had so many flavors to choose from and we sampled quite a few of them (all super good). We each got medium size cups (included 2 flavors because it was so hard to choose just one). I got a scoop of bear claws (dark chocolate ice cream swirled with a heavy caramel and loaded with chocolate-coated cashews) and the apple crisp (cinnamon-apple with oatmeal crisp and brown Betty swirl). We were asked if we wanted a surprise... and of course, we will never pass on a good surprise. They crafted us the most adorable ice cream scoops with faces on them! We think they resemble us perfectly... Just the most perfect fun little treat. We left happy and the service could not be better.

    Originally we were looking for tasty baked goods. Their website boasted banana bread, cupcakes, brownies, cookies and cake slices! I understand that in the evening stock would be low but not wiped out. :( I thought, since we drove all the way to this quaint shoppe we may as well try ice cream instead. I went with a scoop of the "Bear Claw" ice cream for $4.63 in a cake cone .80. It had a unique combination of crunchy cashews and swirls of caramel in a rich dark chocolate ice cream. It wasn't the "Bear claw" Danish pastry but it was good!! TIP: if the servers ask if you want a surprise, say YES! You'll get a bonus "face" on your treat! Mine was made with marshmallows, chocolate chips, cereal and cookie pieces. I thought it was playful and fun!

    Cute ice cream shop with a variety of ice creams. We tried the pistachio, coffee, coconut and this turtle ice cream and it was the winner.

    This is not your typical run of the mill ice cream shop. They sell more than just ice cream and milkshakes. They also sell dole whip, smoothies, coffee, and boba beverages, alongside a small selection of baked goods. For their ice cream flavors, they offer a good selection of classic and unique flavors ranging from not too sweet to tooth achingly sweet. On this visit, we decided to get a small cup of raspberry rendezvous ice cream and a cup of the classic pineapple dole whip. Both were enjoyable and fulfilled our sweet tooth craving. The service was fast and efficient. They had plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors. Overall, not bad for a quaint little ice cream shop!

    Some of the best hand dipped ice cream I've had. apparently sourced from Michigan Hudsonville Ice Cream. The owner happened to be working and was very friendly and made the experience even better. We stopped by after a cubs spring training game. it was a quick 3 min drive from the highway and well worth it! highly recommend this spot!

    Best ice cream shop. Our kids loved the little characters the ice cream is decorated with. The ice cream was some of the best we've had. They have a great variety of flavors. Cones too, including Oreo crusted, lavender cones, birthday cake. Will have to try the baked goods. And the owner was the best part, very friendly. We'll be back!

    This is a cute little intimate ice cream shop. They have a lot of different flavors. After tasting them all we got 3 scoops of one of the coconut, peanut butter, and one of the coffee-based creations. The two girls working there are friendly and nice. They also make the scoops into a "surprise" which is a little creation they do with different toppings. I would visit again.

    Tl;dr one of the best ice creams in the Valley. Really inspiring flavors and super friendly to boot. I'm gonna be honest, the first time I had it wasn't sure what to think, remember the macapuno being solid. But after having had much more ice cream around the US, these guys are up there. A wide variety of flavors but also some more adventurous ones, a lot with an Asian palate. When I saw them years ago they did just ice cream, milk shakes, the like. Now they got baked goods like cakes, boba tea, hell they even got Dole Whip! Literally something for every palate, and with plenty of vegan options likely every diet too. Some of my faves include the Lemon Creamsicle and the Cookie Monster. This lot is packed but really fun for the whole family - if they ask if you want a surprise and you have kids, say yes!

    "1,000 stars" is what my six-year-old daughter said she'd rate Scoop and Joy. It's such a fun ice cream shop! They have lots of flavors of ice cream and lots of unique cones like pretzel cones, chocolate chip cones, and more. When you order, the staff ask if you want the "surprise." Say yes. They will create an animal or face from candy like little cookies, M&Ms, and more. My daughter got such a kick out of it!

    Look at this little guy!

    Yummy, decadent and beautifully presented ice cream! Friendly service and gorgeous atmosphere. What else can you ask for?

    I came across this place by mistake but let me tell you. I am so happy I did. It's probably the BEST ICE CREAM place in Phoenix! And trust me I've been to all the "top" rated ice cream places around. This place should not be missed. You have to try it. Service is amazing too and when they ask you if you want a free surprise? Say YES! They come up with very creative way of presenting their ice creams. I got the Cookie Monster, pistachio and strawberry and none of them disappointed. 10/10 across the board.

    I am so glad we tried this place! Our ice cream was incredibly creamy and tasted very fresh. The waffle cones were very tasty, too! If they ask would you like a surprise... Always say, "yes!" They turn your ice cream into a fun character. The staff was very nice and helpful. Everything was very clean. I noticed as we left the table outside they immediately came and sanitized it. Prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back!

    Ask the Community - Scoop and Joy

    We have an egg allergy but don't need full vegan - do the ice creams contain eggs?

    I heard you guys have an ice cream challenge?

    Is Scoop and Joy closed permanently? We love this place

    Do they have dairy free ice cream options?

I've gone to the central location a bunch but this was my first time at the old town spot. It was pretty quiet and there's a bit more seating inside at this location which is nice. It's really bright and colorful inside. The current limited flavors include black sesame and ube which is incredible! I tried both and it was hard to pick but I went with a single scoop of black sesame as I never see that flavor anywhere. It was so creamy with a nutty, coconut flavor and not too sweet. The staff was very helpful.

A friend suggested this place for an after dinner meet up and I took a look at their menu and they have a nice selection of non dairy options so I agreed. What caught my eye was the mango sticky rice and I love this Thai dessert and was pretty excited to try it. We met up here around 8pm and the place was pretty quiet. 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! Fun place to check out and its located in a great part of Scottsdale! Would be fun to come back, grab a cup of ice cream and go walk about Old Town Scottsdale. I see why this place is an Arizona favorite. I enjoyed it too! I'd definitely Come back!

The two shops are joint and definitely scream luxe in every way. A super modern and beautiful space with all the designer puns and cute offerings from trinkets, to clothes, house goods and of course ice cream bars. They offer chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake or a banana for dipping. You can build your own or select one of their speciality bars - both coming in around $9. I opted for the Neverfull of nuts. A vanilla ice cream base, dipped in chocolate, rolled with peanuts, a Reese's and Nutella drizzle. It was very good and definitely enjoyed during the beautiful sunny day in Old Town. The service was great, friendly, quick and helpful with suggestions. 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.

They really did nice renovations! You can either build your own bar or get one of their recommended combos. My husband and I each got our own. We definitely could've shared, but we wanted to try different things! I did a custom bar with chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and peanut butter drizzle. You can get two toppings and a drizzle, but I'm glad I just got the chocolate cake. It was AMAZING. I loved everything about it. My husband got the March Madness feature, which was a combo of Oreos and Andes mints with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. You can choose chocolate or vanilla ice cream - he chose chocolate. It was exactly what he wanted. The staff were so friendly and patient with everyone in front of us who took awhile to decide. The shop is pristinely clean as well! The bars are a little pricey, but the quality is there and fairly justifies the hefty price tag.
