Balboa’s

I honestly forgot how good Balboas was, until i was craving a sweet treat. It truly did not disappoint. They have expanded their menu since I was there last, now offering cookies and bars as well as floats. Though I love trying new things, sometimes there is just not a need, so I did in fact stick with the delicious Gym Rat again, a vanillas ice cream bar, dipped in dark chocolate, topped with PB drizzle and crushed almonds. So good. Portion is generous and more than enough.This time around we also snagged some WARM cookies. They warm to order, which I love. We snagged a churro bar, pumpkin chocolate chip cookie (Seasonal) and cowboy cookie (Sort of like a Kitchen Sink cookie?). We got some sweetened condensed milk or cream on the churro bar. it was DELICIOUS. I would absolutely get another one or visit them just for this. It was $3.99 so very reasonable in cost as well. The pumpkin cookie was fine, not a repeat, personally. but soft and nice to try. THey unfortunately forgot out cowboy cookie, so I can't speak for it. I am sure we could have gone back, but were already home by time we realized, a bummer for sure, but reminder to check your boxes!Definitely will be returning though.Still great line up of options and easy to customize!

Found this place on Instagram actually and was so happy it popped up while we are staying in Gilbert. The establishment is super cute, no tables inside, but it does have a long bench you can sit on to eat your treats. The service was wonderful, and she was so patient as we were checking out the menu. We got a Works Balboa Bar, a Smoreo banana and a frozen cheesecake dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with raspberry sauce. Everything was delicious. The banana was so fresh, the ice cream was creamy and the cheesecake was perfect. We would definitely go back, and probably will stop by one more time before we leave. Must try for sure.

Great as usual!! Ordered online and skipped the line! They even offer delivery. Check them out online at https://hellobalboas.com

Stopping at Balboas is a must anytime we are in North Mesa! It's our favorite! It's always so clean and welcoming, the employees are so friendly and the bars are so good! I'm a fan of the half banana and my kids love the ice cream bars. The toppings rock! There are so many combinations, suggestions and options. They keep the dipping area super super clean! This is just such a fun and delicious experience and one of our favorites! The stickers and tshirts are rad!

Best dipped bananas!!! Banana dipped in dark chocolate with half sprinkle/ half crushed Oreos and a marshmallow drizzle. Worth every calorie!!!! Amazing!!

Second time here and always a tasty street dinner dessert. Highly recommend the marshmallow sauce

Phenomenal! It was so good! The bar has 4 options to choose from. There's tons of toppings to choose and drizzles to follow along. I got a vanilla bar. With chocolate and boardwalk as a topping. To drizzle it I got marshmallow and more chocolate. The options are endless! Service was top tier, the clerk was so sweet and patient. The shop is hidden in a sneaky location near a gym, bar, and McDonald's. The shop is so cute and clean. A must visit during this hot Arizona summer!

Simple but fun concept. Clean store. Yummy toppings and sauce. I will come back, but only with an empty tummy. :-)

Friendly, clean and tasty. I like it, kid likes it, what more can be said, it's a great place for a tasty desert!! I would love to see more bases like strawberry or marshmallow but then again maybe don't mess with what works. Drink options are limited (sold out) much too often and eating sweet treats is thirsty work.We love this place and come here often. We highly recommend.

Great place for a treat. You can have a whole banana or a half, and have it dipped in your choice of toppings. We each got the whole banana, but a hold would have been plenty.
