Really great little ice cream shop right in the center of Cave Creek. Serving up small batch ice cream with some really unique flavors. The ambience of the place is quaint and very open to the Main Street with great views of the mountains to south. There's an elaborate menu of unique flavors. Which salted caramel is one I'll definitely be trying again next time around. This time however I have prickly pear malt which really unique and delicious.. a a very mild sweet flavor with a hint of tart... just awesome. The service was very professional and friendly which was nice to see and over it's was a really fun experience. I look forward to returning again soon read more

Cute little ice cream shop in Cave Creek. I got the cowboy coffee ice cream on a sugar cone. It was good, a little icier and not as creamy as I would have wanted but still good overall. The workers were very helpful and friendly. read more

Wow!! I read about this place in the Cave Creek visitors guide. I was staying not far away so I decided to go check it out. I got the hot fudge Sunday loaded either dark chocolate and strawberry ice cream. It was so delicious. The fudge did not seem hot tho. I guess the ice cream is so cold it must have froze it. lol. Idk. But boy howdy it was good and huge. I believe how big and delicious it was. I could not eat the entire sundae. They make their ice cream hand made. They even have quarts you can buy to take home with you. Next time I am going to buy a couple quarts for the house. Anyway, the nice young lady who helped me was very informative on what came Roth the sundae and she did an excellent job making it. I will be back next time I come here. read more

Stopped in at 6:30 on a Sunday night and all they had was 1 flavor? That's crazy! Can't believe we drove 30 minutes and they had no ice cream. read more

We all need a treat once in awhile, right? The City Creamery makes their own ice cream the old fashioned way. There is a standard menu with a new flavor featured every Friday. Chocolate is my go to flavor. So why not chocolate with chocolate sprinkles? To top it off, a waffle cone and we are good. Well, that hit the spot! Parking in back of Cave Creek Road. read more

Cute little place inside. The pistachio ice cream was odd didn't look out taste like it and the coffee one did taste like a Latte. I would not go back. But I'm glad i can check trying a new place today off my to do list ha ha. I also think it's more appetizing if you see the ice cream. read more

Second time coming here two consecutive days. First time was great, hence we returned the next day. Day one we received generous scoops. One scoop nicely filled the waffle cone even inside. Today it was like we all got kids scoops and felt slightly gyped. Someone should get some quality control going here. Good fresh ice cream otherwise. read more

Alot of talk about city creamery being one of the best ice cream places based on National Geographic and my thoughts is it's good for the type of selection of flavors but I wouldn't say it's the best ice cream I've ever had. You always got to love a place where they have small batch ice cream so you know it should be higher quality. I felt like it kind of was more icy less than creamy which I would of preferred. We got the huckleberry honey and lavender and the green tea and honey ginger flavor. Both have good flavor but the texture I was hoping for that creamy smooth texture which didn't seem to be there. Still good but nothing I would say it's mind blowing. All In all, its a good ice cream shop while being in cave Creek to enjoy and a fun place to enjoy a treat while enjoying the area. read more

We went to grab some ice cream here after having a drink nearby, and this is a great hidden gem! We went in right before closing, but the staff didn't mind. Seemed like they were some teenages just at their night job - they were fun to talk to! We all were chatting about the music choice in the shop (Taylor Swift) and they were super patient with us choosing our flavor. I loved this shop because there were so many unique flavors! I had such a hard time deciding, and the staff let us do a taste test. I tried the feta and honey and it was surprisingly great! I was in the mood for something chocolatey, so I went with rocky road. My boyfriend got strawberry cheesecake and cookies & cream in a waffle cone. We were in and out quickly! The ice cream was delicious! It was a little too frozen for me, but nothing that a couple minutes in a warm car didn't fix. The chocolate was very dark and rich, and I loved the little marshmallow pieces. My favorite part was that I could tell there was some almond flavoring in there! My boyfriend's flavors were also rich and creamy - we wish the cookies and cream had bigger chunks of cookies, but it was still great! My favorite part was the waffle cone - it was sweet and crunchy, and tasted exactly like how the shop smelled. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is SO busy in the summer... SO, So busy! We were showing my mother in law real estate in the area and decided to stop in for an ice cream splurge. I was so happy there wasn't a crazy long line out the door as usual! We walked in and I first noticed how each of the four people working greeted us! So friendly.. That is a plus nowadays! It's always a win in my book! I also noticed the accolades even before I noticed the choices since I was supposed to be choosing choices to share with my husband for a sundae! The City Creamery has been voted one of THE Best Ice Cream Places in National Geographic Magazine! Back to the ice cream! Everything is small batch and homemade! I love vanilla and maybe that speaks to my personality.. a safe bet. Comments kept to you, please! I can't have nuts .. also comments kept to you. I do not remember what we got but it was amazing and filling and even though we shared it with a lot of rich chocolate fudge sauce; hot caramel and whipped cream I loved it and it filled us both up! My mom in law got a sugared cone and didn't come up for conversation for a bit! Yay! Lot of amazing flavors and great service in a great place! Get in here! read more

Amazing, homemade, old fashioned ice cream! Grab a cup of your favorite classic flavor or one of the many unique ones they have and hang out in the outdoor seating. The service was quick and wonderful. They will let you sample flavors. A cute, must try for ice cream when in Cave Creek! read more

I love the he smell of waffle cones being made, and that's the first thing you'll notice when walking into the city creamery. But you won't receive a greeting from the three employees standing around. My experience was very awkward here. One girl making waffle cones just had a military thousand yard stare going on, the guy was there, but he wasn't, and the other girl was ready to go home. I ordered my sundae and was excited since the ice cream is made in house, you can see the ice cream being made next to the cashier which is pretty cool. But the vanilla was, well, kind of vanilla. It was nothing special. The girl did give me a lot of fudge which is nice. It took my hot fudge Sunday to the next level. I really just didn't appreciate the service and not so welcoming environment. read more

Have been wanting to try this place out for a long time. Drive nearly an hour and arrived just past 8 PM only to find they had been closed. Online hours are listed they are opened until 9 PM. It looked like they closed before 8 PM. If you are going to go later in the day, maybe call to confirm their hours for the day before taking a long drive in the dark. read more

I think this ice cream shop is absolutely adorable, the location is fantastic with a good amount of seating and a great view. Downtown Cave Creek is perfect for a weekend afternoon visit! Since the weather has been warming up, I figured naturally ice cream was the way to go. The shop has a great selection of ice creams that are house made with mostly natural ingredients the old fashioned way. I opted for the milkshake myself and really had my heart on strawberry, which I added caramel sauce, whipped cream and graham crumbs on it. The graham crumbs didn't really do much, I'm not even sure the caramel sauce was worth a $1 more. Truthfully speaking the strawberry flavor was non-existent and would not be able to guess what it was blind folded. The milkshake was a little thin by my standards, and perhaps the strawberry was even more washed out due to the ratio of ice cream to/milk. The result of the creation unfortunately didn't really hit the spot. A similar Starbucks offering is $6 as opposed to the $9 mark up here. Yes, I know Starbucks isn't homemade but it does actually "taste" like strawberries at least. I really would rather support a homemade "mom and pop" place. The second item we ordered was a waffle bowl with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The downside about the waffle bowl is you get a paper to hold it, I was hoping for something a little more sturdy. After ordering my two items, I was given the waffle bowl immediately, which I tried to balance while getting out my credit card to pay as there was no good spot to put it down. After giving my credit card I was asked if I was part of their loyalty program, and I said no and asked if I could sign up. The woman was in such a rush to ring me up she had already swiped my card. I never did find out what the loyalty program was. Also, they keep the spoons in a really awkward place, I was stuck waiting for the cashier to ring in the next family to grab a spoon. It was another several minutes before the milkshake was ready, it was a little awkward getting the one item well before the other. I really just didn't want to stand and watch it melt as the waffle bowl wasn't for me. For two items we spent just under $17. I definitely feel prices are marked up because they are located a cute little town and a great spot. I'd check out the place if you happen to be here or are entertaining visitors, but I'd definitely not go out of my way as a destination ice cream shop. Maybe a different flavor might have provided a different milkshake experience, but usually strawberry is a hit with me. read more

It had been a while since we last visited, so we decided to give it another shot. While we always root for our local businesses to succeed, we're not too excited about City Creamery. Many of the flavors have a pronounced taste of just one of the ingredients. For example, our chocolate mint had very little chocolate flavor and was mostly very minty. The staff is nice and very helpful and there are a few places to sit facing Cave Creek Rd where you can sit and people watch. read more

I saw they had prickly pear flavor and I had to try some ice cream. Even with covid they will give samples to try which is nice. The ice cream is made locally and churn style it seems. The ice cream has an interesting consistency to it. I'd describe the consistency like taffy almost. I enjoyed the flavor of the prickly pear ice cream and the consistency as it made me take my time eating my cup vs scarfing it down. The service was friendly and the interior of the shop has cool items for people to mark their locations from around the nation. read more

Best ice cream. We have been there a few times because it's so good. I personally love the salted caramel. However, after this most recent visit I had to post a review. My son ordered an ice cream cone. It was hot and melting fast. Shortly after ordering, he needed to use the restroom and with toddlers it can take awhile. When we came back out, it was mostly melted. I told him we would buy another. We walked inside and started ordering again. The person working asked if something happened or if he didn't like his flavor. I told her what happened and she gave it for free. This is no fault of city creamery and I had every intention of paying. It's hot and it melted but they were so kind to do this. I will absolutely go back. read more

Outstanding!!! No less than outstanding! We are locals, and really enjoy going to the Ciiy Creamery. Their ice cream is homemade, and is deliciousl.... Today we enjoyed several of their flavors. (Once you try one, it's hard not to have more!) So, if you want great ice cream made the old fashioned way, give them a try, you'll be happy you did. Mike and Jan Tramonto/Phoenix read more

It's not only got some creek character, but its hands down best ice cream in AZ. Can almost guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Traditional and non traditional flavors. Would be really neat if they could put together an ice cream flight/sampler. read more

We love our little creamery so close to our home in Scottsdale. It's a great place to bring family and friends. Ice cream and flavors are awesome. One complaint is the price. We went the other night and we got two kids scoops in a cup, 2 regular scoops in a cup and two regular scoops in a waffle cone. I about dropped my jaw when she told us it was $38! I'm not sure the value represents the price. I would give it a five star but just can't because of price. read more

This review is long overdue. We absolutely love The City Creamery! We moved to Cave Creek just prior to the pandemic & The creamery quickly became our "big outing" several times a week! Our family recently held a wedding & we were determined to use local businesses as much as possible. For dessert we set up a cupcake ( Epiphany Edibles) & Ice cream bar featuring The Creamery Ice cream! It was delicious and a huge hit with our guests! If you haven't been there- make sure you give them a try...they are definitely a FIVE STAR treat! read more

So after dinner we walked next door to get dessert. I ordered a mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone. Their Ice cream is amazing. Mint chocolate chip doesn't need to be green that's just a processed food coloring. This is homemade ice cream and it is so creamy, delicious. I always stop in when I am in the area. read more

Great spot to get an ice cream treat especially after a nice hike nearby. There are plenty of seats inside and out. I was surprised there were lot of customers in the middle of afternoon on a sunny Thursday. Or maybe not so surprisingly. They offer variety of flavors and let you sample some before choosing. They rotate the flavors so there's a good chance of trying a new flavor in every visit. I tried the cowboy coffee which was really tasty. Price was slightly higher than other places though. Paid over $7 for two small scoops in a styrofoam cup (see photo). read more
