    Ooey Gooey Buttercake
    Nicole R.

    I stopped in after lunch to enjoy some dessert. After trying a few flavors, I finally chose a scoop of the ooey gooey buttercake! It was very creamy and actually had chunks of cake in it. The staff was very patient as I debated what to get. The interior has a big cow portrait and the picnic table benches are painted in cow print.

    How it's made!

    Stopped in for the first time after seeing the Nutcracker. Perfect end to a holiday night! I got a medium with a scoop of cookies and cream and a scoop of fudgesicle. The cookies and cream was so creamy and you can totally tell it's made from scratch! So good. And the fudgesicle tasted just like the fudge pops I used to eat as a kid, and it's vegan to boot!! Scrumptious! Hubby got the sweet cream honeycomb. The flavors were very subtle initially, and had a smooth sweetness, and a nice aftertaste of honey. The bits of actual honeycomb added a surprising occasional crunch that provided a variety in bursts of flavor and texture. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I love that we get to sample flavors before buying (just wish they were compostable since it's a lot of plastic wasted). Love the quaint atmosphere of the shop and the vibrant colors and decor, and there are bonus seats out front to enjoy the crisp 65° AZ winter weather!!

    Located in Downtown Chandler, we tried "The Screamery" after a Christmas Eve lunch. The interior had a bit of a strange smell, but appeared clean. The staff was a bit crabby. The ice cream wasn't very good. It's nice to know that everything is "natural", but I had a bunch of ice particles in mine, and my Dad said his was pretty sour. I don't think I'll be back.

    The guy in the green was talking about me with the

    The guy in the green shirt guy and kept looking at me when I was looking at options to pick ice cream. It was clear he was talking about me and made the whole interaction uncomfortable

    Sweet Cream Honeycomb ice cream on top of a Brownie

    The ice cream options alone are delicious! I LOVED the honeycomb pieces inside the ice cream. The cashier was kind and patient with me while explaining the flavors. Decor was simple . The brownie could've been a better consistency.

    An Ice Cream Flight!

    The ice cream was great. There were a lot of different choices. The prices are reasonable. My first ice cream flight!

    Looking up ice cream places in San Tan and Gilbert Arizona, The Screamery had popped up on Yelp as one of the top places! This ice cream shop is located in downtown Chandler. We ended up parallel parking in an open spot on the street that was available. The Screamery is a local Arizona ice cream chain located in Marana, Tucson, Phoenix, and Chandler. There are currently 6 Screamery locations. Their menu offers a wide range of unique ice cream flavors. As soon as you walk into the ice cream shop, you'll notice several tables situated throughout and bar seating available too! We ended up selecting the Flights of Ice Cream. This included six sample scoops made to enjoy a variety of different flavors. Ooey Gooey Buttercake: Vanilla ice cream mixed with butter cake pieces. Raspberry Cheesecake: Our cheesecake base swirled with a fresh raspberry puree. Triple Play: Chocolate base, brownie pieces, and chocolate chips. Rough At Sea: Sea salt base, honey-butterscotch swirl with candied pecans, almonds, and pistachios. Cowboy Cookie: Salted caramel base with oatmeal, walnuts, and chocolate chip cookies. Sweet Cream Honeycomb: Sweet cream base with handmade honeycomb pieces from local raw honey. My favorite ice cream flavors started with the following Rough At Sea -- Cowboy Cookie -- Ooey Gooey Buttercake -- Sweet Cream Honeycomb -- Tripe Play -- Raspberry Cheesecake I'm not the biggest pistachio fan, but the rough at sea ice cream is absolutely scrumptious. You must try this flavor out! Butterscotch is one of my favorite ice cream flavors, and all the pecans, almonds, and pistachios mixed in really enhanced the flavor. It was so good! The Cowboy Cookie came in at #2. The salted caramel base was yummy. We didn't get too much flavor from the chocolate chip cookies, but you could taste the oatmeal and walnuts. The Ooey Gooey Buttercake #3 for me. There were a lot of butter cake pieces, which reminded me of a birthday cake flavor ice cream. Even though the vanilla ice cream was the base flavor, you really could taste the butter cake flavoring instead. The sweet cream honeycomb, triple play, and raspberry cheesecake were good flavors, but I wouldn't order those a standard order. I liked the other 3 flavors a lot better! The price was inexpensive, less than $10.00 for the flight sample. There was only one team member at the Screamery when we had arrived. The service was great, though, and she did provide feedback on specific ice cream flavors to us, which was wonderful since it was our first time inside the ice cream shop!

    Miss A.

    Wow such a fun family owned ice cream shop. They make everything fresh onsite too. With so many flavors to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming but the sweet cream honeycomb was highly recommended and it was just the right amount of sweet and creamy with nice chunks of real honeycomb. It was a warm day, this was the perfect treat. The shop sits next door to a Mexican restaurant (can't think of the name) right along the busy Arizona Avenue, inside is the cutest cow-themed decor since everything is made from local cow-milk. I loved they even painted the benches with cow print. I'll have to come back for other flavors but I would definitely come just to enjoy the sweet cream honeycomb all over again!!

    Single scoop

    All 4 of us rapidly agreed that all the flavors tasted icee' and gritty ! Flavor profiles were lost in the icee texture and this was certainly a far from the creamy texture we expected with a premium ice CREAM!! With regret

    Raspberry Cheesecake
    Kristen L.

    Very delicious. Very sweet. I was thinking about getting a flight of ice creams. I got the honey sweet cream. I tried the chocolate. I thought it was going to be sweeter, but it tasted like regular chocolate ice cream. On the menu board, it said that it had a sweet cream base. I also tried the raspberry cheesecake, and it had a strong raspberry flavor. There were lots of people getting ice cream. There were some bench seats around the store. The store was a little small. They were playing some music in the store. However, whenever someone open the door, I could hear loud karaoke coming from one of the nearby restaurants. Next time I want to try the Oreo sweet cream or the strawberry sweet cream. The ooey gooey butter cake and the triple play also sounded good. The chocolate raspberry fudge would have been interesting too.

    My ice cream flavor was just okay! I've had a couple of different flavors and each time I never finish my small ice cream. The service is very friendly and we love the picnic bench seating.

    Have seen the advertising for this place and we decided to come for dessert after dinner elsewhere…read more Was excited and all of had previewed the menu prior to coming in. The shop itself is clean and cutely decorated. Love the story of how this fun concept was created and learned that they are franchised in several other states as well. Staffing was young people, friendly and smiling as we took our time to order...even though we had previewed the menu, you always have to take time to reread everything once in the store! Three of us are banana fiends and as soon as one of us ordered the Bananas Foster, we were told they didn't have any bananas. One of the young men shared that they had been out of them for a few days and when their order was delivered the day before, still no bananas. After noticing that there are four or five different options that use bananas, it was odd that the crew didn't figure out another way to get bananas. One of our group said aloud, "wonder about getting some petty cash out of the till and going over to the supermarket to purchase some?" No response, just a repeat that we wouldn't be able to order anything that had bananas in it. Ok, so I am a big strawberry/banana fan and I had to pivot and ended up ordering a chocolate malt. Two others also order the chocolate malt, and I'm glad they got theirs first because they both said it didn't taste like malt was in it, just chocolate. I asked for a double scoop of malt in mine and the outcome was perfect with a nice malt flavor. So if ordering the malt, go for double scoop! Wife had the Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae and she enjoyed it. She said the vanilla ice cream had a great, strong vanilla flavor and although the hot fudge wasn't "hot", it was a good dish she said. We had one other situation occur while there: One friend had ordered a malt without whip cream. The young man making it squirted a ton of whip cream on the top and when she reminded him no whip, he took his gloved hand and removed the whip cream from the top of the drink, put the lid on and called it good. What???? And then I also had sad no whip and as mine was being made, a squirt of whip was added and when he realized it was no whip, he used the lid of the container to remove the tad of whip from the top. What??? These two situations along with the banana fiasco equates to a three star rating from me. Overall it was a fun experience but obviously the crew could use some additional training as well as figuring out how to go around the system when something as important as bananas aren't in your order. Go buy some from the store!

Tons of options from milk shakes, banana splits, sundaes, brownie sundaes, hurricanes, ice cream sandwiches, Handel pops, frozen dipped bananas to "of course" their ice cream! They rotate daily flavors to feature local favorites & seasonal specialties year round. The history & story of this business started back in 1945. Can just see Mrs. Handel's at her husband's gas station window selling her ice cream with fresh strawberries from her garden. Ohio born business that's expanded to over 175 locations in 20 states should say something about growth in churning & not changing the recipe of quality homemade goodness. Note-Handel's has a secret menu. Can vary by location, but if you google their website; check to see what specific off-menu items they are promoting! Offer Pint Perks & Deals plus sorbets & gluten free sorbets. *In response to the business owner: I stated varies by location & mentioned to google it (as you may want to as well). It does exist, so whether it's a new trend or its locations creating their own signature blends-it's definitely out there! Instagram features a few also..* Only downside: Nearly almost $20 for two medium waffle cones. Get that they stack it generously, but that's steep! Ice cream can melt quick, so get a lot of napkins & you gotta eat it fast. Not much seating outside and non indoors. Saw many LARGE active cockroaches on the concrete around ALL of the retail businesses. *In response to the business owner that went from 4 to 3 stars. We were having our ice cream on one of the very "few" outdoor business benches & clearly know what we saw/experienced while trying to enjoy our ice cream cones! Could be a possibility about the "creatures" you spoke of (that generally migrate around aquatic areas). However, they would have been mixed in with the crickets & yes many colossal cockroaches too! I do not appreciate the dismissive reply & with that- we will not be returning to this location.

This store is a little larger than the other Water and Ice locations, including an area to sit and enjoy your ice cream or other treats.
