    The Screamery is such a delightful place to treat your sweet tooth for any ice cream/dessert craving you might have. I discovered this place years ago when I first moved to Arizona and I'm still in love with their sweet cream honeycomb flavor. The ice cream is a sweet cream base with handmade honeycomb pieces made with local AZ honey. Every location has abundant seating inside and out. I truly recommend stopping by to try a sample or three!

    Literally the best ice cream shop!! Everything is SO good our go-to flavors: Rocky Road, Cowboy Cookie, Butter Pecan and Cherry Chocolate Chip but honestly you can't go wrong! The flavors are subtle and thoughtfully curated. One of our favorite things about the screamery is the manager Will who is the absolute best (like... makes the whole place feel amazing), and the staff is such a vibe--fun, friendly, and always in a good mood. Will understands that it's not just about the product but about the experience itself. Fav neighborhood guilty pleasure! They are open late on the weekends and have the best banana splits!

    Just yummmm!! The Screamery HandCrafted Ice Cream is a standout destination for ice cream enthusiasts - from the story on the wall you can tell ththey pride themselves on crafting ice cream from scratch using whole and natural ingredients, free from antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and chemical stabilizers. Patrons frequently commend the quality of their offerings. One Yelp reviewer notes, "Love this place. Ice cream is always great and service is awesome." Another customer highlights the exceptional flavors and friendly staff, mentioning, "The butter cake and peppermint chip ice cream are amazing. Staff is friendly." The Screamery's commitment to natural ingredients and handcrafted quality makes it a must-visit spot for those seeking a delightful ice cream experience in Phoenix.

    Not sure what this is but whatever they are serving is definitely NOT ice cream. Frozen over, old tasting and just pure gritty through and through. Had a few flavors all were the same in texture. So many better ice cream places, almost every PINT sold at frys would knock the socks off this place. For GREAT ice cream try HANDELS. For amazing gelato go to ALLORA. Avoid this garbage. Save your $$.

    Even though I was the only customer in during the time I was there, the ice cream was delicious. Even the nondairy ice cream is almost a sin to me.. Customer service was excellent as I was the only customer, but the singular employee was very friendly. We even split a cherry drink, called cherry wine, no alcohol, that she had never tasted before, I had never tasted before. I asked her if she wanted to open it and pour some for herself so she could taste it and tell people what it taste like.

    I stopped in one evening with a friend for a sweet treat after going to dinner. We were looking for a nice local spot and saw the good reviews so decided to pop in here. As we entered we were impressed by the bright and cheery interior. It's simple, yet nicely decorated and inviting, and very brightly lit. It felt very clean. However, our initial enthusiasm was slightly dampened when we realized that there were no staff members present to greet us or take our order. We had to wait for a while before two teenage workers emerged from the back. While they were polite and quick in serving us, they seemed rather unenthused about serving customers. One of the teenagers in particular caught my attention as he had an airpod in one ear the entire time he was working with customers. This may be uncomfortable for some folks. It didn't necessarily bother me but it may bother other customers. the second teenager just seemed like he didn't want to be there. Almost like we were inconveniencing him. Despite this, we ordered our ice cream and I opted for a scoop of the key lime flavor which was refreshing and tangy. My friend raved about her flavor choice as well. The quality of the ice cream is definitely top notch, but I did feel that the prices were a bit steep. A single scoop is going to sit you back around $6. That's a bit more than I'm used to paying. Overall, I would recommend this spot for their tasty ice cream, but be prepared for potentially spotty service and higher than average prices. If the staff can work on their customer service skills and maybe leave their airpods behind this please could easily be a five-star destination. Until then it's still worth a visit if you're in the mood for sweet treat but be prepared for potentially unenthusiastic service and feeling like you're an inconvenience.

    We went here after dinner at ChopShop. It was just next door! I love that it's local and have flavors inspired by Arizona like Sweet Sonoran Desert! I got the Coffee Toffee on waffle cone and mu husband got the Scream Sundae. Let's just say it was a lotttt of ice cream between us. They were delicious! I'm down to come back and try more of their flavors!

    I'm always game for ice cream. Always. We went with a large group and the menu was SO FUN! The teenage worker was very helpful and patient with all the samples we wanted to try. I went basic with chocolate chip cookie dough, but the flavors were unique and fun. The quality of ice cream was top notch and we all really enjoyed it. Definitely try this place if you love ice cream. You won't be disappointed!!

What a great custom menu with lots of creative choices for ice-cream, ice-cream sandwiches, shake and floats, coffee and coffee desserts. Custom rotating flavors that we tried and sampled as we decided. Love how there's a secret back entrance to the ice cream parlor from Windsor Cocktail Bar next door. This is part of a cluster of good restaurants of different types along Central Avenue in Uptown. Parking available right in front of the entrance as well as around back in a private parking lot. I was so tempted by several items on the menu, but since I had just had a large lunch, I chose to try a single scoop of the Vietnamese coffee ice cream. So delicious and I loved the tiny specks of coffee. Hubs got a double scoop of strawberry ice cream, and my son got a strawberry shake. We all really enjoyed the interior and decor of the ice cream shop and the high-quality and good flavors of the ice cream. Service is really great here. The ladies were really working hard and going as fast as they could, and it didn't look easy scooping the large scoops of frozen hard ice cream. There was a line out the door on the Saturday afternoon that we showed up that moved quickly.

Ultimately this doesn't matter to me as I just want the ice cream. Today I was on my way to work and decided to treat myself to a coffee. Knowing that they're vegan, I thought non-dairy milk would be included. Nowhere was I able to find which milk was included in the price- so I asked for oat milk. I was charged NINTEY CENTS (.90) for an upcharge. Rather than saying oh it comes with soy milk, or hey it's a .90 cent upcharge, the barista just added it on no questions asked. I had reviewed the menu online and in the extras it does not include oat milk, which is why I assumed it came with it. My coffee ultimately came out to $9.16. What a joke. I will definitely not be coming back here for anything besides ice cream from here on out and even that is a hard maybe. I wish more places had pricing integrity- their website doesn't reflect it and neither did the barista. *edit to add the coffee is extremely sweet and milky, tastes more like sweet milk than a latte :(

They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then.

I had pecan ice cream and it hit the spot. I ordered a turkey BLT and it was really good. I brought it back to my hotel and nibbled on it for the next two days. I was shocked the bread was still decent. The lettuce bacon and turkey all held up as well. It looked just as fresh. I will definitely stop here again.
