“What a fun taste of Japan. I was looking for an authentic Japanese spot for good real mochi and I found them online. Not many places in Phoenix unfortunately. Took my 3 year old there tonight. We tried everything on the menu! Fluffy cheesecake, fish with custard and Nutella, and ice cream with toppings! Amazing staff. So friendly and kind! Definitely going to come back and bring my friends. They also have a fun photo booth I did with my daughter!“
“Very nice place :) I recommend checking out their frozen bananas. They're fresh and delicious. Luxe Bar is connected to Luv Luxe who buys your designer bags. Luxe Bar also sells things other than food, such as dog toys and lotion. There were three workers. - Staff was lovely and funny. I would come here again to get another banana.“
“Best French bakery in the valley. I’ve been coming here for months and this place never disappoints. The food is always amazing and fresh. They are patient when inquiring about the different pastries. The prices are super reasonable. Must try!!!“
“I was waiting for my uber delivery and it wasn't ready yet. The guy in the front offered me THE REVERSE(cookie name) for free. It was unbelievable and I loved it. Very nice and kind workers. The lady who was preparing the cookies was very polite too.“
“Small ice cream parlor that is super convenient after a late night dinner! We went right after our meal in the area because we were craving something sweet. It was just about to close for the night, but they stayed open for us which I thought was great service! There were a few options that were sold out (obviously since we got there around close) but they still had plenty to choose from! I would definitely recommend for a quick place to get a dessert.“
“Dropped by here on Easter; surprising that they were open and happy that they were! The two employees that helped us were super funny and accommodating! The cherry on top was the gelato, but the customer service is top notch! The atmosphere was very clean. Thank you for making our evening! Highly recommend this spot!“
“I go here a lot for coffee. Place is nice and great seating areas. They have great espresso but I feel like I am always getting someone new to making coffee drinks and they end up messing up my drink in one way or another. It's not complicated. Needs consistency. Otherwise it's a good spot.“
“It’s gelato is absolutely amazing. Been here a couple of times downfall is you can’t do any tasting before you pick so it’s a bit of a guessing game which I completely understand and people get carried away but they should at least allow you to taste two different flavors before making a decision.“
“Scoop and Joy is fun and amazing! Their ice cream styles are my favorites now. My brother told me once to try this place because, according to him, Scoop and Joy have unusual and pretty delicious desserts, especially ice cream. I've been a big fan of ice cream my entire life, and this place is truly a heaven for me. It's so good and amazing! Can't wait for my next funnylicious ice cream!“
“I have been to the Pony Express numerous times and the most recent ownership has by far made it one of the best little restaurants in the area. The food is great and service-to-match. Thanks so much for being the go-to restaurant in the area!“

“Okay, y’all gotta ignore those one stars lolI ordered from here on door dash, and I was blown away by the ice cream.I got the 4 scoop sampler: Oreo and mint, cinnamon roll, orange dream, and brownie.There wasn’t a lot of “topping” persay, and the brownie one was a little not cold?Regardless, it was ice cream and it was amazing.“

“Honestly, some of the best ice cream I have ever had! We had heard from a few friends to stop here while we were on vacation, and it definitely lived up to all the hype! Tons of flavors! Parking was a little tight due to some construction around the building, but other than that, no complaints. The line moves fast, so we didn't have to wait long. I would highly recommend a pint of cookie brownie ice cream ?. Our kids loved the oreo milkshakes as well.Parking: Parking would be a lot easier without the construction going on.Kid-friendliness: Music and the environment were super kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of room for a wheelchair.“
“Widest range of gelato options. And all tempting and surprisingly different from one another. They are very generous in giving out samples. The ambiance is well for the food.They have mole outside seating to bring your dog with!Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Almost all gelatos seemed vegetarian.Parking: Ample parking around the place. It’s a big complexKid-friendliness: Kid friendly“
“Stopped in to see what vegan options were available and there were actually a few available. I tried the Raspberry but settled on dark chocolate the tried and true classic. The shop got busy after I made my purchase and it made for entertaining people watching while I enjoyed my double scoop. The servers were proficient in handling the small rush and the environment while sitting in the shop was pleasant. The only unfortunate part is that the smells from the Jade Restaurant a few doors down overpower the any smell of cooked waffle cones or sweet smells the ice cream could provide. I did not let that ruin my treat because the sorbet is delicious and I am glad this original Sweet Republic location is still open and thriving.“
“I recently had the pleasure of trying some high-quality sorbet, and I must say, it was absolutely delightful. The sorbet had a smooth and velvety texture that melted in my mouth with every bite. The flavors were bursting with freshness and had a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.One thing that stood out to me about this sorbet was the quality of ingredients used. It was evident that only the finest fruits and natural flavors were used in creating these delicious treats. Each flavor was distinct and authentic, making it a truly refreshing and enjoyable experience.The presentation of the sorbet was also impeccable. The vibrant colors and beautiful textures made it visually appealing, adding to the overall experience. It was evident that a lot of care and attention to detail went into creating these high-quality sorbets.Not only was the taste and presentation exceptional, but the sorbet also left me feeling refreshed and satisfied, without any heaviness or guilt. It was the perfect treat for a hot summer day or any time when I wanted a light and refreshing dessert option.Overall, I highly recommend trying these high-quality sorbets. They are a true testament to the art of sorbet-making and will surely leave you craving for more. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or adventurous combinations, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Treat yourself to a scoop or two of these delightful sorbets and indulge in a truly exquisite dessert experience.“
“I always order the summer special and limeade. A light quick lunch and so refreshing on a hot day.Kid-friendliness: My children grew up going to the Sugar Bowl. Mr. Keane was often there & they knew who he was, but, not to interrupt him.“
“It's a gelato place that is attached to the Pomo pizza restaurant. So the atmosphere is a bit restauranty. It also serves coffee too. It's pricy but you're in N. Scottsdale sonthat is to be expected. The server is really nice letting us try all sorts of flavors. We ended up getting two scoops and Expresso. That ended up being $10. The gelato itself is really good! Not too sweet nlike some other places. I would go back again if I have a gelato and pizza itch.“
“I'll give this a five. I've had Crumbl in a few other states and this one is better. Maybe they took all of the complaints about unbaked cookies and started baking them until they were done ? but these were baked to perfection, at least the day I went. I'll try it again to see. But yeah, they were “
“Our server PAIGE was amazing! We loved the wine and the place was SO CUTE! We cannot wait to return when Paige is working. Sat-Sun-Mon. She explained all the wine and told us about the charcuterie boards / which we will definitely get next visit! Recommend the Dry Rose and the Mistake wine!“
“Arrived at the window to a bubbly, friendly and so sweet server named Justin. Soo fabulous and informative. I wasn’t really thinking of getting something, just wanted to look, but when he started explaining to me their gf and non-dairy shakes/sundaes I had to. It’s so rare to find a dessert spot that fits my diet so seamlessly. Had wonderful conversation about Japan as he made me an affogato shake and my wife’s sundae. He was delightful. So grateful to experience this wonderful place. Will absolutely return! The soft serve is coconut based and so good. The seating on the sidewalk was cool, but especially during summer I could see it as less than desirable. Highly recommend you give it a try.Dietary restrictions: Very extensive DF/GF options“
“So I recently stopped by another cookie, based eatery in Gilbert, and was thoroughly impressed with the flavors of the cookies that they served there. So because of that, I am now on mission to find more cookie places that are delicious, albeit expensive. I was already in Scottsdale and looking up cookie place that was close by and was led by Google Maps to dirty dough which was exciting. Apparently They are a brand new place because there is a grand opening sign on the store. they do change a couple of flavors of cookies every single week but they have their signature cookies remain the same. I kind of wish at the time that they had more options of cookies available and I only got a four pack as opposed to a six pack because I didn’t feel all of the flavors on the menu although I bet they were all really good. The cookies are all seem to be stuffed with somethingand I’ve already taken out of one and it’s absolutely delicious. I would definitely return here. They also have Dreyers ice cream, which they use to make shakes and pints and scooped with their cookies inside of it. Great customer service, and I gave it the five stars, which, as Ive before it’s not something that I commonly do. ???????? ?“
“Overall, giving this place 5-stars because they had what I wanted, it was very clean, and the team was very helpful and friendly! So many of these types of places we’ve been to recently have been fairly dirty and out of the toppings we wanted.Also, we love that they offer several Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory items here. Yum!!Not sure what else to say. In general a great dessert spot that is hard to go wrong with. Enjoy!“
“Raspa2 Jalisco was a delightful find! Their raspados were incredibly flavorful and authentic, offering a taste of traditional Mexican desserts. The variety of toppings and syrups provided a unique twist to the classic treat. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit for dessert lovers!“
“I don't know why I haven't left a review yet because I love this place so much! Everything on their menu is pretty much delicious. My only wish is for the company to bring back their old skoops! The charcoal and vanilla were amazing! If you're looking for healthy options, this place is for you! Their staff is also always so nice too.“
“A great ice cream shop in Old Town Scottsdale! I recently went here with a friend and got the edible Cookies and Cream edible Cookie Dough, which was fantastic. Tom's is one of the few (if only) places in the state that serves Hershey's Ice Cream (different from the chocolate company), a great ice cream brand. There are tons of options (including vegan) at reasonable prices. The service was fantastic and the ambiance is nice. I highly recommend Tom's for your next ice cream craving!“
“John was the only one working when we came in. He took his time with each order to make sure it was right. He even reminded me to use my rewards so I could earn points on our order. He was really friendly with all the customers who came in after us as well. Our smoothies were delicious!“
“Everything was delicious!! It was our first time here and walked since we live a 20 minute walk away. We tried the cookie cup with the strawberry cheesecake scoop and the vegan chocolate ( just be warned it’s made with coconut milk so it tastes like a Samoa Girl Scout cookie) then you get to pick a macroon flavor which we picked fruit pebbles YUM, and the homemade toasted marshmallow tasted so fresh and delicious. We also got a green tea with strawberry syrup and blueberry and black pearls and it was equally delicious!! Will be back a lot forsure“
“Really cute little shop that offers gluten free crepes! I called ahead and spoke to one of the owners to make sure they could accommodate Celiac and she confirmed to me their entire process to keep their gf crepes safe from cross contact. Once I arrived, both owners walked me through how they cook their gf crepes on a separate griddle and where they get their gf batter from. It was a breath of fresh air for a restaurant to have proper Celiac protocols to offer up without me having to play a 20 questions game. I felt very safe eating here and am thankful for businesses like them who take accommodating allergies seriously!Dietary restrictions: Celiac, gluten free“
“I might be a little biased because it’s 9 PM and still 106° outside, but this location has super-friendly people and the ice-cream is very creamy and delicious. When you want flavor variety, or a cake, or a shake, or a sundae, this is the go-to spot for the area.“
“I love nekter. The reason I give 8’s is I don’t feel that my order always includes everything that I pay extra gor. For instance, PB both inside and out—usually just outside; extra berries on top—have to ask for the blueberries sometimes. It seems i get the standard recipe minus the things i ask to be left out but not all the extras that I order . I’m sorry to say This happens more often than not.“
“The employee who served me was so kind and patiently described all my best options and allowed me to sample five things, including popping boba, crystal boba, lychee, regular tapioca, and jasmine tea. I settled on a brown sugar milk tea in the end and a strawberry & lychee jasmine green tea with lychee jelly. After getting my order, the employee also invited me to ask her to make changes as necessary. Best boba customer service ever :)“
“2nd time at this location in Scottsdale due to Yelp review recommendations.While on business in Scottsdale had to do a return visit at this gelato cafe .It was a short walk from the AC hotel where typically stay and surrounded by plenty of cool shops .The service was to be mentioned as they gave generous portions of 2 scoops of gelato.The chocolate chip mint was light and flavorful without the extra fat usually seen in traditional ice cream. The salted caramel was equally satisfying without the extra calories .Plenty of outside seating to enjoy the Scottsdale weather in November and inside for hotter summers when want to cool off.“
“Exactly what you would expect from Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Everything was very clean. We had the best service here. The lady who made our order was extremely friendly and answered our questions about the area. We came back at the end of our trip.“

“Super nice store , very clean and organized. The employee was very nice and welcoming. I got froyo and enjoy it , didn’t have it since 2020 when unfortunately I closed my own Menches store. Congrats to owners and your team members for doing such good job.“
“Always a great place to get some dessert for a special occasion. Always choosing different flavors for the machines, so there’s always a great variety. Lots of different toppings too. Service is occasionally a little slow, usually only one person at the store at a time. Other than that though, amazing!Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly!“

“Overall, we love coming to this Golden Spoon. Only went with 4-stars instead of 5 because the price for what you get. There are some other frozen yogurt places nearby that give you more toppings and larger cups for similar price. That said, we love the variety of flavors here so it keeps us coming back!This time, we tried the Cake Batter and Old Fashioned Vanilla. Loved both of them! Cheesecake flavor is still our favorite but we haven’t seen that flavor in a while unfortunately.“

“What a find! We were passing through town and found this gem. Jay and his staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. The ice cream he created for me from my general flavor guidelines was delicious, as well as the smoothest and creamiest ice cream ever! Stop in and see and taste the magic of Buzzed Bull Creamery!“
“The coconut cream pie ice cream is out of this world! So are the rest of the flavors. Ol skool candy shop has pretty much all the nostalgic brands you would expect. Just wish they had cinnamon JellyBellys! But the HotTamales will suffice. There's a sign on the window that reads: Monday Family Ice Cream Day and $12/4 scoops.“
“I LOVE this “old school” Dairy Queen, the staff is super friendly and they do VOLUME. I’ve been to this location a handful of times, and as strange as it sounds I appreciate how busy they are on Sunday nights, it’s a throwback, and in a place that sometimes feels like a sea of strip malls it reminded me of the DQ close to my hometown in IL.“
“Very familiar and have visited to taste their wares often since 2009. It was formerly named the G Spot, but folks found it too hard to find. Smart move changing the name ? !Kid-friendliness: I've had to train my children before exposing the world to them. This Spot faired excellently.“
“I love nekter. I must say that I don’t feel i get all the extras i pay for. Today I ordered a peanut butter bowl minus a few things but added PB inside and on top (1.50) and extra berries on top. Today I didn’t get the PB on top. Last visit i didn’t get the extra berries on top and had to ask for them and was given some blueberries in a plastic container. So I lack confidence that I get all the extras that i request and pay extra for. My only complaint—don’t feel the orders are closely followed“
“This review is long overdue. Ive been getting water and ice here for 25 years. The owner is a very nice man who always helps me with my water bottles. The store has been there for 28 years and the quality is always consistent. Ive bought water elsewhere when ive had to but his water filtration is top notch. Im a retired union plumber and Ive built many filtration systems for Motorola and Intel. He uses top notch filters and R.O. systems to produce a superior product. Its an expensive process but worth it as Arizona water is full of stuff thats not great for you.I read some negative reviews and am astonished at them. One person was upset they could not rinse their jugs ....seriously ? Who brings dirty jugs to be refilled? Everything I go to his store I'm greeted with a warm hello and a smile. He sells quality water,quality water jugs and equipment. Im very greatful for he and his store. I give credit where credit is due and if you want a quality product from a good small business this is the place to go.“
“Nekter has great service and easy ordering online. We ordered three smoothies and each one was excellent. They included an extra boost of protein and gingeroot. Smoothies were ready at the time indicated when we ordered. We highly recommend Nekter. Your won't be disappointeddDietary restrictions: No dietary restrictions“
“Best froyo shop EVER!! Not only was the owner super humble and friendly but he was excited and passionate about his work. All of the flavors are made with fruit extract not processed sugars AND it’s all gluten free!! Even the apple pie flavor!! I had to express my gratitude and tell him thank you for providing options that aren’t harmful to your body, especially for someone like myself with a gut disease. This place is a GEM!! To top it off the owner randomly asked if I had a dog as I was walking out the door. I said yes, why do you ask? He then proceeds to give me a free pup cup ice cream! Best froyo spot in town!! The competition has nothing on this place. We need food influencers to blow this spot up!! Quality to price point is perfect. Me and my girlfriend are extremely satisfied. This is our new favorite froyo place!Vegetarian options: All flavors use fruit extract instead of processed sugars and it’s all gluten free!Dietary restrictions: All flavors use fruit extract instead of processed sugars and it’s all gluten free!“
“Absolutely amazing! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We were there on vacation and just happened to stop in for a treat after visiting the aquarium. It is a little expensive, but isn't everything these days? Also it was totally worth it! We got cookie sandwiches which were big enough for two people to share, the cookies were the perfect texture and ice cream was delicious. If only it wasn't so far away. Highly recommend!“
“Heily was the most amazing server I've ever experienced at a daily queen. She really made my son and I feel welcome. I hope she is appreciated for all her hard work n effort. Smiles n all. Not to mention the food the cook made our food so hot n ready which was so delicious thank you Andy you both are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️“
