50 Best Ice Cream Shops near El Mirage

“Excellent Frappe's without the high sweetness of other places, making it a special kind of coffee and by far better! Owner operators, are very nice and explain the menu if unsure. The churros were perfect with the coffee. We'll be back!“

“Such a cute little family owned ice cream shop! We stopped in while walking around downtown Glendale on a date. The sitting area is so cute and relaxing. The ice cream was great. The employee was nice. This is a great place to go for a date or bring the family to grab some ice cream. If you're looking so support local businesses, make sure you stop in here.“

“HANDELS is the best ice cream around and has so many delicious flavors to choose!❤️“

“Thrifty Ice Cream! Need I say more?“

“Absolutely loved Tropical Sno! 🍧 Everything was so delicious, and we loved that there were so many options that everyone in our group was able to pick something that became their favorite.

The staff was incredibly friendly and awesome, and the shop has such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend getting your Hawaiian-style Tropical Snow with the ice cream added it was SO good! 😋 We also loved that they carry Thrifty ice cream flavors. Some of us went with the Thrifty ice cream, while others enjoyed the Hawaiian ice, so there really was something for everyone.

They have plenty of room to sit inside and enjoy your treat, or you can take advantage of the convenient drive-through.

Such a great little shop with delicious treats and wonderful service. Definitely recommend Tropical Sno we’ll be back! 🍧🍦❤“

“Called on Thanksgiving to see if they were open and had ice. Supermarkets were sold out but Bri, a very nice young lady, helped me over the phone as well as in person. They stayed open until there was no ice left. Thank you Oasis for having what I needed on a super busy day!!“

“Clean place friendly staff …“

“1st time going and we will be back“

“Consistently made food for what it is. Fries are great. Custard rocks!“

“Handel’s Lake Pleasant is my go-to spot for ice cream! They have so many flavors to choose from. Some of my favorites are Knot Your Average Dough, Confetti Brownie Batter, & Brownie Dough! They also gave my toddler a baby cone of Vanilla ice cream with my purchase which was perfect since their portions are HUGE! They also have great outdoor seating. I highly recommend!“

“Great place ! We love it !“

“If you love great pizza, you need to check this spot out. It is a small, charming restaurant with a wonderful, friendly team working the floor. We ordered a large pizza, and it exceeded expectations. The crust had the perfect crunch, and they do not skimp on the topping choices. The highlight of the night might have been the gelato, though—so smooth and flavorful! Excellent service and top-tier food.“

“Kind of silly how they force you to buy three scoops of you want a cone.

-> The ice cream is good but just buy a scoop and get a cone on the side if you don’t want to be gluttonous and overpay.

8/10 ice cream
10/10 customer service“

“Oatmeal cookie was delicious“

“They have some of the best frozen yogurt in the valley. If you’re looking for some frozen yogurt, then check out this place.“

“I've been going to this store for water for a long time. Super clean and the owner and all of his employees are great. The reward program really helps with the savings. Great selection of thrifty ice cream also. And when I'm going hunting they have 20# blocks of ice that last a long time. This is the best store for water and ice I have ever been to. If you haven't gotten your water here, you are missing out.“

“I have been to this crumble location quite a few times, the first two times the customer service wasn’t great there was a long line and the kids working there were all having a conversation while we the customers waited over 15 min for help. I left on that day without ordering as the line wasn’t moving. Today there was no line and the kid that helped me was nice showed me the cookies and asked if they looked good. I bought 3 individual cookies and asked for a bag which I was told he didn’t have any. I remember seeing people with bags before but he refused to give me one. I didn’t appreciate it that. I wish they had better customer service as my teenage daughters always want to try the new flavors.“

“First time visiting
Great impressions:
The owner is kind, humbled and very knowledgeable about his products and what his store has to offer. Extremely clean and organized inside out. Thumbs up from someone who managed 2 water stores from the Bay Area.“

“I have been to the arrowhead location many, many times and each visit does not disappoint! I am always met with speedy service, kind employees, and delicious cookies. I find that this location makes the cookies perfectly but you better eat the chocolate chip cookies fast because they are better warm.“

“Our first visit...won't be our last, for sure! The best mussels this side of the Mississippi!!! Amazing, authentic bolognese...and the texture of the pasta, WOW!! Our waitress, Courtney, was outstanding...from carefully explaining specials to the attention she gave our party of 6 throughout dinner!💜“

“This is a Family owned mom and pop shop that serves the Avondale community with the best raspados in AZ! Natural in house recipes non of that artificial syrup!! they have flavors like Mazapan/ Chocolate Abuelita/Horchata/Pistachio/ and so many more!!!“

“Fun soft served ice cream flavors (ube if you haven’t tried it) and cute taiyaki fish (think Belgian waffle-ish). If the fish is freshly made, it has a nice slightly crispy exterior and warm soft inside. There’s hollow space for filling and ice cream. The challenge is that it will make your soft serve melt crazy fast! (Hence, best to get the upside down version so you have a cup … same price.)

Mine was the upside down, ube, custard filling, and fruity pebbles as a topping. While not cheap, it was really cute, check my ice cream craving, and the service was great. (Very helpful and friendly)

It’s tucked behind the Onos Hawaiian BBQ.“

“Delicious! Some of the best cookies we have purchased from a cookie shop. Go and get yourself some, you won't be disappointed. 😋“

“The icecream was good but the customer service was not. Pulled up to the drive through not even a hello. I had a mobile order and the girl just says here and handed me my bag.“

“Todo de lo mas delicioso 🤤, Y Súper buen servicio ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food with something for everyone. My first time having the mashed potato and gravy side—yummy comfort food!“

“Amazing store with great customer service and very clean inside. The water tastes fresh and high quality, and the prices are very fair. Staff was friendly, fast, and helpful every time I came in. Definitely the best place to get water and supplies. Highly recommend to everyone!“

“Yummy dessert. I wish there was one on my side of town.“

“My go-to spot for water refills! Their prices are already reasonable, its an unbeatable value. The facility is well-maintained, and the 24-hour vending outside is a lifesaver when I'm in a rush. I love that they carry so many flavors of ice cream— my family loves to grab a scoop while we fill our jugs. Great service and top-tier water quality!
Ms. Viktorya is so polite and kind, she is a true sweetheart!“

“Ive found the food to be very consistent at this location! Burgers are always juicy with that crisp edge and the fresh produce on the burger makes a great bite. Their shoestring fries are also consistent unlike most of the competition. Very addicting.“

“Love this place my kids love it to that's all that matters� too many things to try“

“Two yogurts was $24.71 !!! wtf 😬. It was good . Did like the selection. Cashier had zero personality, keep going in the back. Appears she was by herself. Not sure why that is . Had to sit outside with our expensive yogurt as it was freezing inside. Probably will not go back as I can’t afford it 😬🥴“

“Great Crepas and Coffee, Great service and also friendly. Thank you 🙏 to the Cafezito team. 💯 recommended.“

“Nice service with great foods plus positive vibes from staffs“

“I went into the store today. First time ever. I was craving a peanut butter cookie. Just peanut butter. I saw the selection, the peanut butter cookie had chocolate on it. I was going to walk out. The sweet girl behind the counter told me she just baked some new peanut butter cookies. I bought 4. I am sorry I didn't ask her name. She made my day. I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you. It was my first time in the shop. The other sweet girl was also sweet. I asked, do neighborhood kids just follow you, cuz you smell like cookies? I will be back.“

“This is my 2nd time visiting this place. First time food was good. I got waffle and flavored Red Bull. Wait time was okay.
Today I went in and got an orange chicken rice bowl… it took 35 minutes to get my order because they had to make new rice, it took a lot longer but not much you can do and not a big deal because I was going to get fresh rice. Well I got my food and the orange chicken was great but the RICE was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! It was not cooked, crunchy and I feel like a waste of my money. It was disappointing.“

“kids love it 🤗🤗 They love samples..then picking and adding toppings!!“

“This place is amazing. 10/10 service. They offer alkaline and regular reverse osmosis water. Also have the best ice cream in town. Family owned and local. Would recommend 100%“

“(Translated by Google) I always grab the raspado de guava with a lot of milkmaid or a little devil. They taste very good! And the girls are always very nice.(Original)Siempre agarro el raspado de guayaba con mucha lechera o un diablito. Tienen muy buen sabor! Y las muchachas siempre son muy agradables.“

“Prasada Nekter was amazing. Last minute business meeting, easy ordering, GREAT STAFF! Product was a hit with attendees. Thank You“

“I got the Ferrero roche and another flavor (don’t remember the name) but it was delicious! Also, the service was great and allowed sample tasting before purchase. There’s so many flavors-cant go wrong! 😋🥳🍦“

“When we want ice cream, we make the trip to the Baskin Robbin’s on El Mirage Road. There are other locations closer but this location stands out!! No the ice cream, the sherbet doesn’t taste any better at this location than any other! But it seems to. Why? Because of the staff! It is very well managed and the customer service shines through and through. The young people who work there are outstanding and it shows in their disposition. They are always polite respectful and serve with impeccable manners. It’s a credit to their parents as well as the training they receive through the head manager. Compliments to the staff and those who are in the leadership role!,,,“

“Greta water filter place!

The water tastes super clean and the filling nozzles are adjustable from a trickle to filling a gallon in just a handful of seconds. I filled up 40 gallons today for 10 dollars and only took about 8 minutes. Great location that's never too busy. Carts provided.“

“Went last night for a blizzard and Ranch bacon burger. The help at the desk was great but the burger was like cardboard, very dry,you don't need to worry about me coming back for another burger. I love the blizzards.“

“Always a great time to order from Nekter, I always order through the app, very convenient and if I’m honest since it’s not “Fast Food” in a good way there’s no huge demand where your wait would be super long for a smoothie etc.“

“Such a beautiful and lovely crew they were so nice even gave me extra napkins! 💓 10/10 amazing icecream“

“Store was clean, food was delicious, fries were steaming hot and fresh 😋 the way I love them. My burger was hot and fresh nothing was cold I dont like cold fast food like other food chains dont care and give you cold food. Not culvers the frozen custard was delicious.“
