"We stopped by this dessert shop and tried the strawberries and cream signature golden fish bun--it was delicious! The flavors were great, though it felt just a little pricey for the portion size. That said, it was still a tasty treat.The shop itself was clean, and the service was quick. Our order came out fast, which was a nice bonus! Overall, a fun place to grab a unique dessert. Would definitely come back to try more items!"
"Great as always! We went for my sons after the first day of kindergarten treat :) I wanted something refreshing without too much richness like most ice cream. This was perfect!This location is always so friendly and patient with all kiddos we bring around. Not the regular disengaged teenagers working here lol the entertainment inside is great.Spent $13 for a great experience and yummy flavors!!"
"Came by on a Thursday evening and tried their taho (tofu pudding). Not too sweet and silky. It's served warm FYI! I've had warm and cold versions but in Vietnamese or Taiwanese styles. Nice that this one came with boba for some added texture. Great healthier version of dessert with some protein too!Service was quick and kind - no complaints!Small shop with a few tables. Same plaza as JL Patisserie."
"This place is mom & pop type cold stone creamery. Friendly staff, lots of dessert options: waffles, smoothies, mix in ice cream options, tons of different cones, dessert pretzels. I chose the small strawberry shortcake with a Oreo waffle cone. It was $10 and way too big! The $2.50 Oreo cone was good but so filling & rich. The ice cream was good but the shortcake pieces were too big and frozen, hard to eat. Loved the whip cream finish on top tho!"
"When I moved to this area a few months back, this was one of the first places I discovered. This Fruitlandia location in Mesa is quite spacious and located right on the corner of Country Club & University. Fruitlandia is known for their Mexican desserts. Popular items are their fresh fruit combos like fresas con crema, milkshakes, ice cream, shaved ice, and fruit drinks. The drinks are so colorful and full of all types of fresh fruit. I ordered the Dulce Churro for my first drink. They also have popular street food items like sonoran dogs, nachos and carne asada fries. Fruitlandia has become one of my favorite spots for a late night treat."
"We came here just for drinks. For the cucumber lime juice and horchata. The juice was refreshing and had flavors of lime and cucumber. The horchata was smooth and sweet, one of the better drinks I've had in the area. Small place with good service. Decorated in a fun way."
"Been here a handful of times and pretty much get the usual things which were the Strawberries n Creme, Banana Split, and any one of the Agua Fresca's.This time around we got Chopped Fresh Fruit, Sinful Fruit Salad Escamocha, and Carne Asada Fries.The Chopped Fresh Fruit($9.99) you have your choice of four fresh fruits for them to chop and put together in a container. We chose cucumbers, melon(cantaloupe), pineapple, and strawberries. The melons weren't really ripe and it was not as soft as should be. All the other fruits were just right.The Sinful Fruit Salad Escamoca($12.99 for the 32 oz) has mango, melon, strawberry, banana, sweet cream, granola, sweet coconut flakes. Now this is even better than the Strawberries n Cream! You have other ingredients other than the strawberries! I mean, who doesn't want more?The Carne Asada Fries(11.99) was not good. The carne asada itself was very salty. The cheese or lack there of was a fail. Definitely not ordering this again.Service was decent. You order at the counter and then they call out your order to pick up.In closing, I would say stick to the desserts here. Based on the asada fries, I sadly assume that the burger and hot dog they serve is not good either. Also for some reason, they have the heat on high here. It gets pretty hot in there. It was a nice day outside and was not cold at all. Yelp 2023 Review #18911 overall"
"We are out of town and drove by the shop, we were attracted by the photos on the window. We got corn on a stick and a cucumber agua Fresca. So very good! Refreshing drinks and tasty snacks!Thrifty ice cream available!"
"I love Water and Ice for their smoothies! Tahitian breeze is my personal favorite. It's also a major plus and keeps loyal customers as the owner here is so pleasant. Many times I've seen her working by herself hopping back and forth from scooping ice cream to blending smoothies and ringing guests up for water.. running the whole show and she does this all while wearing a smile! They sell Thrifty ice cream by the scoop or pre-packaged half gallons. They are a little more pricier than a carton of Dreyer's from the Fry's across the street; however, it's definitely worth it for the for special flavors. My family's favorite is the pineapple coconut. So good! You can't find Thrifty's at too many places."

I love the Matcha love from here! A large could feed like four people I swear so a small is like one to two people that's definitely enough. The red bean inside of my Matcha love really helps cut down the sugar. Everyone is so nice here and it really shows that they working here. Very beautifully decorated and everyone is super helpful.

Very cool place to get a treat! Decor is very fun and cool! The girl at the register was very helpful, and offered samples to help me make a decision. I decided on the Joelatti, it's your choice of soft serve ice cream with your choice of slush put together. I chose the wild cherry slush with vanilla soft serve. Was truly a flavorgasm, so good!! I can't wait to come back and try other menu items!

Customer service is great. Clean. Located in a cute spot, close to the metro. Live music was outside when I visited. I got the blueberry muffin ice cream. Great price. If you're craving ice cream, I don't see why you wouldn't stop here Good selection. You can compare it to Coldstone with a less corporate feel.

Fruitlandia is a great spot to enjoy an occasional what people consider Mexican desserts. The place has plenty of seats and great service. I've been here a few times, and have always ordered the Elote En Vaso (Corn in a Cup) with crushed hot cheetos. Very filling.

A must-try if you are ever in the area and looking for some scrumptious snacks! Alebrije's has it all! From savory to sweet. There were so many menu options that I wanted to try. Everything that I ordered was 10/10. The service was quick and we had so many things to admire with the decor while we waited. I asked and the employee said they have been open for over 6 years. There is a parking lot and the location was very easy to find. The business is located close to the freeway which made our stop easy.

This was our first time at this Frutlandia and it started getting packed. The cashier was nice and the place was small and cozy. People ahead of us ordered a lot of food, so I expected a bit of a wait. The wait was so worth it! I had the Strawberry Cheesecake Raspado and it was amazingggg. I can't wait to try a few others! Not sure why the reviews for this place are so low, but they do give a lot of food for the prices. The restaurant was clean and I appreciated the Thrifty ice cream as well. So good.

One of my favorite dessert places in the Glendale area. It's in a corner plaza along with many other businesses like a smoke shop, a restaurant, a bar and Rainbow Donuts. The service is great! They make everything fresh from agua frescas to fruit plates!

"I'm so glad I live close to this location ! It's very clean and the menu for desserts is big! I can't wait to go back already and try other things! See ya soon (;"
"Great thrifty ice cream and chamoyada.Extensive menu of slushies, snacks, deserts full of flavor.Great service. Happiness to tasteNext to wing stop and a barber"
"Favorite homemade ice cream, the closest to ice cream I had in Mexico. Favs are the cheese, cajeta,limon, piñon, Guayaba, coconut, kids like cookies and cream. Cajeta paleta was yummo. Always come back for more."
"Overall: This place is like a Mexican junk food store haha.Price: Tt's decent.Tip: They do charge 50 cents for using a card if it's under $10. I have been here about a few times now. Although I stand out a lot since I'm probably the only Asian that comes by to their store haha. But Each time I come here I order their Mango Vase or Vaso de Mango cause I love mangos with Mexican spices, seasonings, and chamoy in it. It's $6 for a regular size up or $7 for a large. I normally get the regular one since that's already a lot of mango slices in one cup. They really pack it in too which is awesome and worth the price.They have a huge variety of choices of fruit snacks, drinks, and ice cream. They also have chips where they can put in like cheese and other type of things in it. This is like a typical Mexican store with Mexican music playing and it seems like most families come here with their children. It's definitely a place to check out if you like fruits, or Mexican Frescas, and ice cream. I don't mind standing out in a different environment when it comes to food haha."
"It's probably cheapest water have seen at any water and ice store the water actually tastes really good way better than and that crap out of those Glacier machines I don't know how the Health Department's allow those things and the people at work there I always see her family never even help you to your car if you need it"
"This place has it allChavelas Water and Ice Cream has it all.Water, Ice, Chips, Candy, Burger, Chicken Strips, Fries, Ice Cream, Shaved Ice, Soda, Mexican Fruit, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Toys, it has everything.I enjoy going to this location to get my water and sometimes to grab a scoop or two of Ice Cream. The ice cream is always sweet and delicious and the hamburgers in this place are amazing made fresh order.The staff is always friendly. It's nice to see owners who truly appreciate the value of their customers. If you haven't had a chance to stop by and you find yourself in the area you need to stop in you won't be disappointed."
"I went to Sandee's water and ice to check it out and see if I could find some ice cream. I walked in and was greeted with an enthusiastic smile. The lady behind the counter explained the ice creams they had and which cones they had. They have regular, chocolate covered with sprinkles, and chocolate covered with nuts. The selection of ice cream was so yummy! I went with a strawberry cheesecake. The ice cream tasted SO GOOD and creamy. It hit the spot. The establishment is clean and smells clean. The prices are great for water, ice, ice cream, and candy. I will be visiting again very soon."
"Amazing Japanese-style ice cream! Hard to find such high-quality, authentic desserts in Phoenix, especially natural (not artificial) ones like these. A mix of traditional Japanese flavors like matcha and red bean, American ones like cookies, and Mexican ones like dulce de leche. I recommend the matcha or uve ice cream with the taiyaki fish, which is like a soft waffle cone with your choice of filling. The place is very clean with a beautiful, simple style that will make you want to sit down to enjoy your treats. The staff is helpful and friendly. We are going back for the mini-fish with filling!"
"I am traveling to see my friend, Laura and her daughter Izzy in Arizona. We went to the splash pad near her place in Peoria and there was ice cream set up. the girl working was awesome. She filled up my whole water bottle with ice, Let me sample of the Birthday cake ice cream and instead I went for a ice cream sundae with mint chocolate chip icecream with an Oreo topping. She was super friendly. I thought it was a good value and I would recommend."
"Oh I love this place. This place is hands down the best for raspados and delicious elote. Sometimes they are a little bit weird on their hours but for the most part the hours posted are accurate. Right behind them on the other side of the ranch market there is a overpriced place this is the place to go for your moneys worth. Everything is delicious here."
"**UPDATE**If you haven't tried them you should! You are in for a treat. Seriously it's a show as much as it is a orgasm in your mouth of flavors. I've had good lemonade many places but not AMAZING!!! This place is AMAZING. I have seen them at 5-6 festivals. I'm booking them to run my daughters birthday party. Her friends are in for a super sweet treat! Thank you your product is the best!Lots to try. Great taste and quick service! Love that it's Veteran owned and operated. You literally see them make cut smash everything right in front of you. Great place I highly recommend checking out some of these food truck Rally's and check em out! #5Star"
"Awesome mom & pops ice cream shop.... Very clean and top notch place where you can enjoy a variety of cool desserts & comfort foods. The lady who helped us was very polite and professional I'd recommend this place to anyone who craves something sweet.... Excellent!!!"
