“Premium Matcha Café Maiko in Tempe is hands-down the best place in town for matcha lovers! Their matcha latte delivers a smooth, earthy flavor made with ceremonial-grade Uji matcha imported from Japan, bold but never bitter, and never watered down. You can customize it with oat, almond, or whole milk, and many appreciate the option to enjoy it unsweetened . Plus, their creative delights, like the matcha latte float with ice cream or the cheese foam topping, are consistently praised as outstanding . The café has a bright, welcoming vibe and attentive staff; drinks are served quickly, and both matcha aficionados and newcomers keep coming back for more . Whether you're craving a classic or something playful, this spot nails it every time.“

“Love that they had about eight flavors that had no artificial flavoring or colors👍🏽 Rare these days!“

“Beautiful crafted drinks and great customer service :)! Worth a visit if you’re in the Tempe area the drinks were not too sweet as well.“

“Fresh delirious cookies! Very friendly staff!! Never had any issues. Thank you Insomnia Cookies for honoring military and Veterans with free cookies on Veterans Day! 🇺🇸❤️🍪“

“The absolute best!! I felt like a kid in a candy store“

“The desserts at Urban Cookies are exceptional and delicious. I love the variety of comfort food. It’s always a wonderful experience!“

“The Mesa Grand Crumbl team is absolutely the best! We (Capriottis) had an event over this past thanksgiving partnered with Crumbl to help supported Corbin’s legacy (A Mesa non-profit) to give back to the Mesa community and help feed children this holiday season for our Thanksgiving giveback! I cannot express the level of professionalism as well as community involvement this location has! If anyone is ever looking for a good dessert option for large parties be sure to think of the Mesa Grand Crumbl team!“

“Crumbl Cookies in Ahwatukee is easily one of the best dessert stops in the area! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with that warm, sugary aroma of fresh-baked cookies — it’s impossible to leave empty-handed.

The staff is always friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. The store is spotless, and the cookie display is as beautiful as it is tempting. Every week brings a new lineup of fun and creative flavors, and the cookies are always baked to perfection — gooey centers, crispy edges, and generous portions.

Standouts for me have been the Cornbread cookie, Milk Chocolate Chip (a classic done right), and the seasonal Aloha Pie. They also package everything nicely, whether you’re treating yourself or gifting a box.

Parking is easy, pickup is smooth through the app, and the customer service is top-notch. If you’re a cookie lover (or even just cookie-curious), this Crumbl location is a must-visit in Ahwatukee.“

“The macaroons are amazing and the service is great. The staff is so helpful and the variety is wonderful. Mayra was very helpful.“

“Ordered four cookies from my car, and when I walked in, another treat instantly caught my eye. I asked if I could swap one, and the manager kindly said yes — great customer service! Everything looked amazing, the store was spotless, and the cookies were fresh, warm, and delicious. I left happy and already planning my next visit. 🍪💖“

“This location always has friendly staff and of course delicious desserts! 😋

I was craving cookies, they only had the specials. At first I was annoyed but decided to perk up and give it a chance. To my suprise theyvwere just as satisfying as the cookies I was craving. 💯“

“Had a great experience! Their milk teas, fish cones, fish buns, and snow are all great! Very friendly staff.“

“The best gelato I have had! First time here tonight. The lady up front let us try whichever we desired. I decided on the dark chocolate(rich and smooth) and peanut butter(recees goodness) I was so happy. Only downfall no decaf coffee available. Other than that, fantastic!“

“Love everything at Cafe 86 but my favorites that you must try are Dragonberry Calamansi & the leche flan cupcake!!!! Delicious! The awesome service is definitely cherry on the top!“

“The cookies looked and tasted good! First time trying crumbl cookies and today is my birthday. I was able to get two free cookies today and they were delicious. Placed my order inside the restaurant and I was amazed at how fast they order went through. Which was immediately! Great fast service and good quality cookies!“

“I’ve been hearing so much about chimney cakes — those sweet, cylindrical pastries of European origin — and finally decided to give in to the hype on a Sunday evening. We were looking to satisfy our sweet tooth, and AZ Chimney Cakes delivered!
Tucked right next to Cinemark, this cozy little spot is only open from Friday to Sunday. The first thing that struck me (and made me smile) was that the entire place is run by women — love seeing that kind of girl power in action!
There was a good crowd when we arrived, but we were warmly welcomed and invited. I went with the Biscoff Chimney Cake and a White Chocolate Mocha. Heads up: everything is made fresh to order, so there’s a bit of a wait — but trust me, it’s worth it.
When our order arrived, the cake looked absolutely dreamy. It came with a soft serve swirl on top, and the chimney cake itself was crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy interior. The caramelized sugar coating gave it that perfect sweet crunch. It was decadent without being too heavy — exactly what I hoped for!
The coffee? Strong and smooth — just the way I like it.
All in all, we had a fantastic experience. Great vibes, delicious treats, and lovely people.“

“Great Hot Fudge Sundae with pecans!“

“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience in ordering full service catering for my daughter’s 18th bday party. It was the perfect surprise for our guests who we dragged to Phoenix in the dead of July! Thank you Mike and team for taking such good care of us! The special touch of including Avani’s favorite flavor was the sweetest. We are so very grateful!“

“my kids loved the 4th of July ice and the cherry vanilla coke ice!“

“Great way to beat the heat in Arizona & it was delicious 😋“

“Amazing! I have an addiction to ceviche and Fruit Daddy's is bomb! Always add some fruit in the works and can't forget the ice cream!“

“Would have been nice to have a drink, since all the other places around there were closed and it was over 110 that day. Or a place to sit inside, even just to wait. Not sure how long this location has been open, maybe they’re just getting started.“

“A room full of decadent, delicious chocolate. What more could you want?! 😋🍫🫕💝“

“Fantastic desserts in glass jars!! We loved the lychee coconut jelly!! Staff is friendly and this place is very clean. We just wish they had more Vegan (non dairy) options! Preferably the black sticky rice with coconut cream would have been marvellous if dairy was not used with it! Please make more vegan options and we will definitely return!“

“Amazing soft serve. Like that they do different combinations of flavors regularly (seems like every week). Personally, I love the dulche de leche cause it’s like a caramel soft serve. But pretty much all of them are amazing. Just like the logo “not too sweet.” One thing that takes this place above others for me is that it is always fast and they have a really good staff. And whoever the guy is that works there is exceptional. His customer service is so kind. Thank you for always making my wife and I’s late night treat worth the drive.“

“Delicious ice cream and the pizza is one of the best that I ever had“

“Since this heat I have been craving a snow cone. I looked it up and found this place, they had good reviews so I gave it a go. The snow cone was amazing, the juice was flavorful, the service was nice, the place was clean. Yes, I would recommend this place to anyone. The snow cone is just want I needed for this heat.“

“First time here and I’m so glad we stopped by! The lady who greeted us was super sweet and welcoming. We tried the Sweet Sunset and Strawberry Cheesecake shaved ice — both looked gorgeous and tasted amazing! I’ve honestly never seen shaved ice look this good. Can’t wait to come back and try more. You don’t find this kind of genuine hospitality anymore! 🍧✨“

“I went through the drive through today and I wasn’t feeling good at all due to a severe sinus infection the gentleman there helped me figure out what flavor of sno I was trying to order, he was beyond patient with me and his kindness and his sweet words definitely made me feel better in fact ge made my whole day by his kindness! Thank you Bahama Buck’s and the sno was exactly what I needed and absolutely amazing!“

“Best churros in town!“

“I’ve swung by Andy’s at least half-a-dozen times in the past few months, and every visit confirms why it’s my go-to custard spot in the East Valley.

Must-tries
• Double Double Malt Milkshake: Thick, malty perfection—easily the best shake in town.
• Strawberry Shortcake Sundae: Fresh berries, warm cake, cold custard… pure nostalgia in a cup.
• Concretes: Love the surprise layer of mix-ins tucked right through the center. (Skip the lemon concrete, though—flavor didn’t land for me.)

The custard itself is ultra-creamy, making it a great change-up from ordinary ice cream. Prices run a bit high, but the quality and portion size justify the splurge.

Bottom line: If you’re craving something cold, rich, and consistently delicious, head straight for Andy’s—start with the Double Double Malt and thank me later.“

“So I am originally from Springfield Missouri and used to go to the original Andy’s in Osage Beach before they opened Andy’s in Springfield. This was a great place for family to go and the lines were always long but soooo worth the wait! My son and I moved to Tucson 2 1/2 years ago and have been craving Andy’s since moving here. I just discovered the other day that there was Andy’s in Phoenix so we drove 2 hours today one way just to go get Andy’s frozen custard! I even brought a cooler with dry ice to bring Andy’s home with us and had my staff at work tell me what they wanted because I said they deserved a little taste of my hometown deliciousness! We get there and we were ordering and I told the young man at the window that I’d drove from Tucson just to get Andy’s because I used to go to the original Andy’s back home and he rudely cut me off and said he didn’t have time to listen to me because he was busy. Just want to say I was really disappointed at how I was treated and the staff there really need to learn real Ozark hospitality because I’d never be treated like that in Springfield. I spent over $80 in that one trip today on Andy’s and will not visit that location again.“

“Best frozen treats around! Love all the fresh fruit flavors, especially coconut! And the snacks like nachos, duros, and elote are so yummy! Great friendly service too�“

“Tonight was the first time trying and loved it!! The customer service was wonderful. Nevada offered to let me try my pick (honey lavender) and from there gave me so many samples! Wow the ice-cream was so rich and flavorful you could taste the ingredients, it was hard to decide, which is why I’ll be back! 😍 My husband loved his too; minions treat! We met the owner Denise, also very kind! We will be back!!! 🙌🤗“

“!! Here is another wonderful place to eat. Don't let the location or outside fool you. Food was delicious. Restaurant was clean and offered plenty of seating. Service was excellent too. Very friendly! They also have thrifty ice cream here for $3. I had a fish taco the cup of corn and the mango drink. Ooh La la.. I loved every bite. The spices were so flavorful. My mouth was watering looking at all the pictures trying to decide what to order.. You can find the menu on IG. Below are some pics and I wrote the name of each dish. I might be back every week !!“

“Amazing! If you've never tried it, it's a MUST. It wouldn't matter what flavor you like, it's all good! Their customer service is spot on as well! Always a great experience from start to finish.
Highly recommend!“

“Very beautiful cakes, I'm regretting everyone I know in Arizona!“

“A room full of decadent, delicious chocolate. What more could you want?! 😋🍫🫕💝“

“If you’re in the mood for a late-night treat, this spot never disappoints. The cookies are warm, soft, and perfectly sweet, making them the ultimate comfort food after hours. I love that they stay open well past midnight, which makes it an easy go-to when cravings hit late. The staff is always friendly and quick, and the cozy setup feels inviting even during those quiet late hours. A must-visit for anyone who loves desserts at night!“

“Got here for an egg waffle as I had that in Taiwan before and loved it. Although I got the original one with nothing else, the taste was yummy and the order came pretty quick. You place an order at the self serve screens and you get a text when your order is ready. They seem to have a variety of other yummy sweets, definitely will go back to try some more .“
