    The Rainbow Cone!
    Brianna R.

    I was excited and surprised (pun intended) to learn that a Rainbow Cone location was coming to Surprise. I tried a rainbow cone years ago at Lollapalooza in Chicago, but didn't realize they had freestanding locations, especially outside of Illinois. My mom and I checked it out this afternoon--just two days after the soft opening. We both ordered the rainbow cone. Mine was in a cake cone and my mom opted for the waffle bowl. We were delighted by the flavors. The rainbow cone consists of chocolate, strawberry, palmer house (walnut + cherry), pistachio, and orange ice creams. Despite being a diverse array of flavors, they work really well together. The cashier who helped us was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. The inside of the shop was adorable and perfectly decorated. I will definitely return!

    We decided to head over with my niece and daughter to try this place I've been hearing about. It was so cute inside even my kids loved it. Service was wonderful from the start and since we've never been in before, they explained how a lot of their process works. I really appreciate it that if we didn't like the ice cream we chose they would give us something else. We ended up with a banana split a vanilla milkshake and a strawberry sunrise cone. It was crazy to watch them stack this ice cream and it sounds like so much but the cone I bought was about 1 1/2 scoops. I believe they were pretty busy and getting busier by the moment however they had our items pretty quickly so that was impressive. Everything was a hit and now I'm being bombarded with. When do we get to go back questions lol it's a little expensive but for the size alone of the banana split I'd say it's worth it if you just once in a while to treat yourself or your family I know we'll be back. It was a great experience.

    Such a cute ice cream shop & unique choices on the menu! Delicious old fashioned donuts made fresh and the original rainbow was oddly amazing haha, & friendly staff I wish there was more seating inside and/or outside, but thats what happens when everything is cramped in a small shopping center. Otherwise, highly recommend for a new sweet treat stop!

    Lines were out the door but service was quick and friendly. The smell when you open the door was heavenly and we already knew we would love this place a WAFFLE lot. We definitely liked getting layers of ice cream flavors especially when you want to try a little bit of everything. (like the sign when you walk in says "Life's too short for just one flavor!") The preset flavors were great and we can't wait to come back and make our own combinations. We definitely look forward to the next birthday in our family so we can order a cake...but they also sell cakes by the slice which means I might not have to wait till the next birthday. So many new things on the menu to try, we are already looking forward to our next visit!

    I'm so ecstatic they've come to Arizona FINALLY! And even better they came to the West side of the valley. My favorite is the original rainbow cone and quarts of it as well. I'm here a 2nd time already trying a chocolate peanut butter sundae. Amazing!

    From the moment we stepped in, every single staff member was amazing! The owner even came out and greeted us. My mother-in-law used to live in Chicago so this was extra special!!! It was my first time there but I will definitely be back soon. The shop itself set the tone to complete the experience. Highly recommend the rainbow cone! :)

    Ambiance great small business amazing goodies and kind owners and good parking space. I'll be back…read morethere is a lot of variety of flavors and treats to enjoy

    Just moved to El Mirage and near the top of my to do list was finding a place with good, cheap…read moreMexican food. There are a ton of places that show up on Google ahead of Paleteria Anais and most of them are closed down, moved away or look creepy (I'm looking at you, La Fondita). Drove by this place and decided to give it a try. Great food! Best cubanas torta I've ever had. A lot of places kitchen-sink their tortas and you end up with a soggy mess that spills out of the bun. This torta was loaded with meat and all the fixin's but in proper proportions -- you can taste each ingredient and it holds together like a champ. Really good. Got the flautas for my kids -- they're picky eaters and they crushed 2 each, that's a ringing endorsement. Street tacos are top notch. Lots of meat, great spray of cilantro and onions and the green salsa from the cart in back is the perfect topping. Whatever else you order, tack on a couple tacos and you won't regret it. The salsa bar has sliced cucumber instead of sliced radishes. Not sure if this is SOP or I just hit the right day but this is a welcome change. Only down note was the nachos supreme. They use those crummy round tortilla chips that you get at little league games and school cafeterias. Those things are all salt and go soggy in less than a minute (I think they go a little overboard with the cheese to mask the taste of the chips). This was a shame because the toppings were great -- lots of meat, tomatoes and lettuce. Please change the chips! Haven't tried the desserts yet but this is a great place for kids because they have a bunch of flavors of ice cream, milk shakes, agua frescas, shaved ice and more. Maybe this place gets overlooked because of the name and people think it's ice cream only? Palerteria Anais is really good Mexican food at great prices.

    The Yard Milkshake Bar deserves every bit of praise it gets…read more I ordered the Brookie Batter, and my wife got a custom shake. Both were outrageously good. These are not casual little milkshakes. They are full dessert events in a cup, and they know exactly what they are doing. The menu has a lot going on, so it took us a minute to figure out what we wanted, but the staff were friendly, patient, and helpful the whole time. That made the experience even better, because with that many choices, it is easy to get overwhelmed. If ice cream did not go through me like a cement truck, I would eat it more often. But digestive consequences aside, this place was fantastic. Great shakes, great customer service, and a fun stop that absolutely lived up to the hype.

    The atmosphere here is lively, vibrant, and fun. The shakes are incredibly creative, over-the-top,…read moreand visually impressive. It's clear that a lot of effort goes into making them stand out. Unfortunately, that is also why this place isn't really for me. I walked in not knowing exactly what to expect and quickly realized that the concept is centered around extravagant desserts and large, highly decorated shakes. While I can appreciate the creativity, I personally found them to be a bit excessive and wasteful for my tastes. That said, I can absolutely see why others enjoy it. If you're looking for a fun dessert experience, a social media-worthy treat, or something unique to share with friends or family, this may be exactly what you're looking for. It simply wasn't a match for my personal preferences.
