“The things I would do for scoops of coconut cream pie ice cream now far outweigh anything I ever thought about doing for a Klondike bar. #NoShame“

“Came here a week ago, maybe a little longer now, because my girlfriend wanted to have a unique gender reveal. We called ahead and asked the friendly ladies that were working that day if they would be interested in doing this for us and they agreed to do it. When we got there, they were just as friendly in person and had an excited energy, making the experience even better. My girlfriend and I handed them a folded slip of paper that had the gender, picked out the flavors, one pink, one blue, and asked them to bring out the color that matches. It was perfect, they brought the ice cream out, even covered by a bag, asked what we thought it was, did a countdown, and we got strawberry cheesecake(pink) and everyone got excited! The ice cream was incredibly good, and the vibe was perfect. Thank you ladies for that experience! I wish I would've caught their names to commend them directly.“

“Visited today for the first time.
The place is nice and cozy, very clean.
Was greeted kindly & helped with menu options.
I tried the Platin sushi, which is fried, honestly it was very different than any other mexican sushi places I been to. The sushi instead of having rice it was wrapped in plantain. All the sushis we tired today were very tasty. Can't wait to visit again!“

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

“Best Taro smoothies we have had! Such a cute place!! We can’t wait to try more things and bring our friends!“

“First time here, the strawberry fruit water is amazing! Not too sweet and soooooo refreshing on a scorching hot and humid day! I can’t wait to try e v e r y t h I n g on the menu!“

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

“This place is so cool! It has DC and Marvel life size statues and action figures all over! They have retro video game machines you can play for free! It's a family run burger joint with the best atmosphere! But how was the food? Fantastic! I had a pastrami burger, and my son Chris had a mac and cheese burger! My daughter Vicky had a cheesy burger. All tasted great and was very filling! My son John and my daughter Cassie took me there for my birthday! He said it was thier favorite place, and I can see why! Loved it! Its like a small museum!Great food, great present! Next time I'm in Phoenix, I will visit again!“

“Tropical Sno in Glendale is absolutely fantastic! The Hawaiian ice is outstanding...very refreshing. The service is just as impressive.
They are super friendly, fast, and welcoming. It’s one of the best places I’ve taken my family in a long time. The kids loved it, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“Went in to celebrate soccer tournament win. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. We will be back! Thank you for the hospitality“

“This place is a great find. The food is consistently good, the drinks are refreshing, and the service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

I had the chicken tender sandwich with french fries, and it really hit the spot. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the fries were golden and just the right amount of salty. Everything came out hot and fresh.

It’s a solid spot whether you’re grabbing a quick meal or hanging out for a bit. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Soooo goood“

“The cookies taste pretty good with a weekly rotating menu. The customer service at this location is pretty bad. The last 5 orders have been wrong. I did call and was offered a refund however the person I spoke to today (she didn't offer her name) said she was very overwhelmed and told me she was the only one working therefore couldn't answer any of my questions or concerns and hung up on me. Experience might be better in person, but I would NOT order from this location unless you didn't care what you ended up getting and don't want any actual customer service.“

“Thrifty Ice Cream! Need I say more?“

“Lil Capo’s was recommended to me by a coworker of mine. I had the opportunity to stop by, and try their pizza. I’ve never been here before to do any shopping or dining; so please read to the very end as I have something important to share with my experience.

Call me a pizza snob. I enjoy great pizza. I can relate with David Portnoy - El Presidente of Barstool Sports. To me a pizza has four important components to consider: crust, sauce, cheese, and ingredients or toppings.

I ordered a 16” sausage, mushroom, red peppers, and black olives pizza cooked well. The pizza turned out very good. The crust had a little flop, and a crispy outer crust. The sauce had a decent flavor; and the cheese was of good quality and taste. The ingredients were mostly of good quality. It’s the sausage that I wish had bigger pieces of. They were too small being ground up the way they were. I could barely taste the sausage. I would loved to have added onions, but they only use red. I don’t care for red onions; preferring white, yellow, or Vidalia over them. Taste and see for yourself. Red onions have a distinct taste that ruins one’s palate.

The restaurant is clean and offers plenty of seating. Parties of four most suited. The bathrooms are clean. And they offer Coke products in their fountain. If you like dessert 🍨 there’s a gelato case with many choices to choose from.

Lastly, here’s my pet peeve and warning for you. This mall has paid parking for special events. I know of no special event going on tonight. No concert; no festival; and no Cardinals game at State Farm Arena. When I came out to my car there was a ticket requesting payment of $30. There’s no store or restaurant here worth paying for any parking. I will never come here again for this very reason. Absolute bullshit. It pisses me off to no ends. 😡😡🤬 So be warned ⚠️ ⛔️ if you come here. It’s not well marked where Free Parking is. I went back to tell them about my dissatisfaction with this ticket. They’ve said they’ll contact the property manager to resolve the matter. I hope they’re successful, and help me in not having to call and dispute the charge.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Holy GOODNESS!!! This place is aaaaamazing!!! So many unique flavors of ice cream and popsicles, the fruit is fresh and juicy, the corn is sweet and buttery - what’s not to love?! Very friendly staff, quick service, and bright, clean environment! I will be a return customer and bring many friends and family here to try this out!“

“Oatmeal cookie was delicious“

“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.“

“I love going to this place. The owner is exceptionally nice, willing to help, kind, respectful and then some. Plus not to mention his ice cream is at a fair price and taste awesome. Thank you
10/28/24You know every time I come to the store it's welcoming it's it's amazing. Today I watch the owner put three 5 gallon jugs into a lady's vehicle for her. And then they started talking like they were old friends. And today he was explaining to me I'm what it takes to make purified water the amount of water it takes to me purified water. I drive miles out of my way to go to this water and ice store because of how friendly and how courteous and how kind they are. It reminds you of a convenience store from back in the '30s.... Need I say more“

“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!💜“

“Delicious. Try the gelati- it won't disappoint.

Parking: Parking is a slight distance from the walk up stand.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid & pet friendly. Only outside seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp & outside tables.“

“It's pretty good! A little expensive but that's pretty standard for boba. Everything was tasty I'd definitely go back. I made my own smoothie with horchata and brown sugar. We also had hazelnut crunch and cookies and cream gelato which were very tasty.“

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

“Always have great service and super delicious ice cream treats. Love it.“

“Best ice cream 100% recommend a mangoneada Also the banana flavor Yumyyyyy“

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

“Went there to pick up some Thrifty ice cream but unfortunately they don’t sell it at this time. However my experience was more than awesome. My mask had ripped prior to me entering the store and Suzanne offered to give me one even though we were not buying anything. She was so nice and courteous that I had to try something from there before I left. I bought one of their specialty drinks for my wife which she loved. I will be going back again to try other products they have. Please support our local businesses especially those that go above and beyond to give excellent service and care like this business. Thank you Suzanne you made my day through your kindness!“

“great customer service experience very helpful“

“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 😬🥴“

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

“LOVE Thrifty's ice cream!!!! We go every week to get some. Not sure if she's still works there but there was a cheerleader girl that worked on weekends - she is super nice!! Always had a smile on her face and friendly - GREAT customer service.“

“Amazing cookies and customer service. We will be back soon❤“

“Ice ice baby! Great price on 25 pounds of ice $2.50 they have smaller bags but that's big one is best value compared to all the other places I've researched. On a fixed income you have to research everything that you know you will purchase over and over to get best deal AND best service. I like dealing with local businesses wherever possible. I have met several people that work there. All very laid back and friendly and...their ice cream is incredible. "Thrifty" I think is what the brand was...anyway they got automated water dispenser out front etc....I found my ice store.“

“Dined in. Greeted warmly by all staff. I had a preference for my meal plan high they executed perfectly. This is my neighborhood Freddy’s and I have a great experience here 100% of the time.

Dietary restrictions: No salt. Which they did accommodate on the burger patty as well as the fries.“

“I hate to give less than five stars to anyone. However there's always room for improvement. The eggnog tres leches Had no flavor, Exchanged it for a cowboy cookie, Super sweet, but ok. I think the novelty has worn off. Minis are only available mondays and tuesdays, so calendar that. And after speaking with friends and family, we've all come to the conclusion the staff is always so miserable doesn't matter what store. I wonder why that is?“

“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“

“First time trying this place that we been wanting to try for years . First impression it was small no one greeted no signs on where to pick up or order but common sense with the little cashier window . But other than that the food was great . I don’t like Al pastor tacos but at this place I did ! Tripas hands down my favorite I have had it was perfect . Lengua was under seasoned needed more flavor . Chicken tacos were dry . Asada was pretty good too ! Will definitely have more trips and al pastor for sure !“

“Last week you had toppings for the cookies- sprinkles and snickers pieces. Earlier in the week I got the one with sprinkles and they used a spoon to top the cookies, later in the week they dipped their hands (w/ gloves) in both the snickers and sprinkles. I totally understand there can be cross contamination with these cookies and that's on the consumer (I usually will ask them to change gloves), but something like this I felt was pure laziness and a little unacceptable. The service here is also lacking. The employees aren't friendly by any means. This is a customer service job. You chose to work here. Needs some improvement.“
