Oh my gosh! I am not the biggest ice cream fan. It's good but by way of desserts I typically go for something else. We stopped by Shakes and Cones after dinner and despite being full, have no regrets! I ordered Jake's Cake Dish with chocolate soft serve. The soft serve was so creamy and full of chocolate flavor. I never would have guessed it's soft serve if I didn't know. It was topped with homemade whipped cream which was also so delicious! The people who helped us were so friendly and made great suggestions as well. They had heaters on for the cool night for the few tables they have outside and it was comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed our experience and treats and will happily be back! read more

Incredibly creamy soft serve and great shake combinations! It's a fun, nostalgic walk-up window with a nice outdoor seating area. Parking can be a little tricky during busy hours, but it's a perfect spot for a quick dessert run. read more

Stopped by Shakes & Cones in Old Town Scottsdale and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Nutty Buddy and it was yummy. I love peanuts with ice cream so this was perfect. Portions are very generous, so definitely come hungry (or ready to share). The ice cream stand itself is a walk-up, with fun little touches in the décor that make it feel extra fun. Staff were friendly and welcoming too, which makes the experience even better. If you're in Old Town and craving a sweet treat, this is the spot. *Keep in mind, there is only outdoor seating available. read more

Service here was like walking up to a best friends workplace and being served by them. So many yummy treats to try. It will be hard to choose. Location is near restaurants and old town. They have a few tables and chairs outside and a walk up window. Milkshakes were delicious. Highly recommend. read more

The Ice Cream selections were numerous and everything we had was delicious, more importantly was the dedicated, friendly, genuine, kind service we received today, the young man with the longer hair, was incredibly kind and patient with our group, lots of questions and special requests, but he handled it all with a smile and a kind heart, thank you! read more

Delish! Super yum and fresh. Fair pricing and not too sweet! Their chocolate fudge is simply delightful. My fave is the strawberry twirl, creamy and sweetened to perfection. The service was not too friendly and the fact that no one else was there and had to wait to order was kind of annoying. read more

Shakes & Cones - Menu January 2026 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

See all

Shakes and Cones has a great location--you can easily walk downtown Scottsdale--but the menu could use a clearer setup. Vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options aren't obvious: A simple color-coded system would help a lot with their extensive menu. I have had the vegan gluten free mint chocolate chip shake twice and gave it four stars--glad they have the vegan option, though the chocolate chips were quite crunchy and accumulate at the bottom at the end. I ask for rainbow sprinkles on top to make it more fun, otherwise it looks a bit plain. Their vegan soft serve is tasty but more airy than filling compared to other vegan ice creams I've tried. Fun! But not my go to unless I'm walking the town :) 072525 read more

I popped by the shakes and cone tonight in old town. It's a walk up location with a very small amount of seating out front. We enjoyed the peanut butter cookie dough shake. It was very rich and flavorful. In the words of my 13 year old this is Buss'n! We also tired the Biscoff cookie butter shake. It had pieces of biscoff cookies and it tasted like Trader Joe's cookie butter. The kids working there were very friendly and pleasant. read more

Solid ice cream spot my friends and I happened upon after dinner in Scottsdale. They have outdoor seats and are essentially a window counter. The ice cream sandwhich was good, though the cookies were definitely not freshly baked. My friends had great reviews of the strawberry cheesecake milkshake special! All around they have good, classic soft serve and milkshakes. read more

A short line on a Tuesday evening didn't deter me. I got my delicious soft serve, and the server told me, "He ain't pretty, but he'll taste fine. This was very true. This was a very squatty cone, those it tasted wonderful. There's some seating right at the window, though I sat at the corner on a bench to enjoy my cone. read more

My husband and I were in the area and craving some ice cream - I found Shakes & Cones on Yelp, and I'm glad we did! There was a fairly long line, but we didn't wait long. My husband had a chocolate/vanilla twist waffle cone - it was delicious! I normally don't like vanilla ice cream, but this was so yummy!! The cone tasted fresh as well. I opted for the waffle chips and soft serve - kind of like ice cream nachos. They were really good, but we definitely needed to share - it was a huge portion for the price! There are a few tables and chairs outside, but not many. We were able to snag a table and enjoy our ice cream before it melted! We will DEFINITELY be back here!! read more

It was a hot-ish day and after walking around and me hobbling around with an arthritic knee; stopping for some ice cream seemed like the thing to do. It's a walk up location that states that they have organic ice cream. They offer five daily flavors of soft serve: Chocolate, Vanilla, Twist, Strawberry, a non-dairy vegan Vanilla (made with coconut milk), and Lemon Sorbet. My son got a vanilla cone (dipped), my wife got strawberry in a cup, and I got a peanut butter and cookie dough shake. They have some interesting shakes and to get the most flavor, I had to go with the peanut butter. Wow! I gotta say, the organic, vegan ice cream was awesome! I'm lactose intolerant and I didn't need to take a Lactaid pill because it's vegan. And delicious. You never get both, but lo and behold, they sure figured it out. And this place was busy. I was amazed there wasn't another ice cream shoppe in this touristy area. Kudos to Shakes & Cones for putting out a great product that's easy on the wallet. It doesn't hurt that their ice cream is absolutely fabulous! read more

Great ice cream place right off of Scottsdale Rd that offers organic soft serve. Tried their Salted Caramel cup and enjoyed it - it's pretty much what you expect when you mix vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and caramel. But the generous caramel syrup does not cheat you on what you're looking for. Very friendly service! It's only an ordering window and outside seating - just order, enjoy and continue with your perusing in town. read more

I was walking by and stopped to grab a small cone of vanilla soft serve. Yummy! The soft serve was rich and creamy. The place doesn't have seating inside since it is basically just a window you walk up to, but there are plenty of seats in the surrounding area outside nearby stores. Service was good. read more

If I could give 6 stars to Shakes & Cones I would. What is a kiosk operation (as you order from the street) turns out is a culinary delight. With dairy and vegan ice cream choices alike, with fantastic quality, there is something for everyone. Service is great as they helped me navigate extensive menu and their recommendations were fantastic. I decided on having vegan cookie butter ice cream with vegan whipped cream. Justin was very enthusiastic in recommending it, and to be honest this is the best ice cream I ever had. Special thanks to him. While seating is street-side of which I am no fan, the quality of ice cream, and friendliness of staff more than makes up for it!!!!! read more

Yummy!!!!!! I wanted to try this place out because because it offers vegan ice cream. I had the vanilla and chocolate fudge and it was by far the best ice cream I have had. The location is in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale so if you are ever in the area I suggest you give this place a try. Oh!!! The customer service was helpful, friendly and all around amazing read more

Honestly the one star is for convenience and friendly staff. That was good. It's also quick and easy if you're wanting icecream on the go. The icecream itself is extremely mid. I'm sorry it just tasted bland and I got the cake and icecream cup. The cake was also not flavorful and very dry. The biscoff shake we got was also pretty flavorless and not something to write home about. I want to love it but I can't sadly. Maybe if the owner wasn't so offended by an honest review I'd come back to see if the dry cake and flavorless icecream was a fluke...there are more options on this road with higher ratings though, so I'll put my money elsewhere. read more

I live 2 blocks away so tried it out once a year ago and loved the product but the customer service turned me away. Let me tell you that JUSTIN has completely turned around my perspective on this place! He is such a joy, and has genuine customer interactions that make people want to return. It's so hard to find that after Covid! I'm obsessed with the vanilla bean soft serve and the friendly vibe! 10/10 blessed this is in my neighborhood :) read more

Creamiest ice cream I've had in a while and refreshing for a hot day in Phoenix! I definitely recommend - I went classic with the vanilla with Oreo and was not disappointed. They only have outdoor seating. read more

4.5 Stars Shakes & Cones is truly a gem in Old Town! The convenience of the counter service is what makes this place so easy to order a snack and go. They have a few tables on the sidewalk in front of the store. Mic check, one - two. Mic check ONE TWO, ahem can you hear me?!?! Shakes and Cones has Dairy Free options!! My favorite by far is the dairy-free vanilla shake with fresh strawberries mixed in. It's the best vegan strawberry shake I've had so far! Don't set your heart one one item if you plan on coming back, they have plenty of great options! The only downside, it's Old Town Scottsdale. Parking and crowds can be a challenge. The upside, great people watching while you're enjoying your treat! read more

Absolutely great ice cream . Good service , and cool vibe they have with outside seating.

We were first-timers tonight! We headed here after dinner at Dilla Libre and really enjoyed it. I tried their vegan vanilla with their no food dye sprinkles and it was okay. My daughter's chocolate (normal) soft serve was considerably better, but to have a vegan option is pretty cool in soft serve. I think they need to offer a flavor besides vanilla. It's an ice cream counter and there are some tables outside, so it's a fun place to be when the weather is nice and right off the main road so plenty of parking in nearby lots or in spaces in front of the place. Other shakes, sundaes, and ice creams are available, too. We'll be back. I want to try the strawberry soft serve next. read more

We were craving some delicious ice cream and definitely found it! I had the Mint Chocolate Chip shake and my friend had the OG sundae. Both were as good as expected.

While both of our drinks were okay they weren't amazingly flavorful, they were good and I would come here again. It's a very cute, walk up shop. The gentleman taking our order looked also to be making the drinks so it took a little while to get them since it was a one man job. There is no inside seating and limited seating outside, just an FYI! read more

I had a rough day and needed a cool sweet treat. Checked yelp and found that Shakes & Cones was nearby. It's tiny shop with a walk up menu (I don't think I had the option to sit but wasn't looking for that so I might have missed it.) The guy behind the window was very nice. The menu is straight forward. I tried a swirl and thought it was fantastic. They have vegan options which is really nice. I was served quickly and took a walk while eating my ice cream. It was delicious. read more

We came for a post dinner dessert. We had several people recommend this place and finally got to come try it. We were a little disappointed because we wanted milkshakes and the milkshakes came out with spoons in them and no straws like it was actual ice cream. The flavors were still great...but we still have a craving for milkshakes now. The service overall was still great and I would recommend to others. read more

Very cute ice cream and sorbet spot in Old Town Scottsdale! The staff was so friendly, truly amazing customer service.
