"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!"

This was perfect!This location is always so friendly and patient with all kiddos we bring around.

"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."

Sparky's Old Town Creamery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (164) • $

"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!"

Picossitos

★★★★☆ 4.4 (96) • $

"Nice ChangeThis was my first visit to Picossitos. My nephew and I shared the raspberry nieve with pecan ice cream and lechera, strawberry fresas con crema, and hot Cheetos with nacho cheese. The food/snacks were definitely tasty. Picossitos has a nice selection ice cream and snacks. Will definitely come back for antojos!"

"Really great food. Always hot and the shaved ice is tasty. It's located in a nice quiet park with a baseball field, soccer field, splash pad, and skate park. There are no indoor tables but plenty of seating right outside. Also be aware there is no indoor door restrooms."

Frutilandia

★★★★☆ 3.8 (74)

"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."

Must try the Sandia/Watermelon and Tamarind flavor, it is like biting into the fruit itself, super fresh and natural!!

Raspalicious

★★★★★ 4.9 (22)

"Came across Raspalicious while driving down Southern one day and decided to give them a try. I am so happy I did because this has been the BEST raspado place I have been too. Compared to other locations that sell raspados what I enjoy about this location is that their fruits and sauces are natural and I believe is made in house. It does not taste processed or overly sweet. Staff is extremely friendly and the drinks I have tried thus far have not disappointed. I want to try the food options in the near future. Overall as long as you are around I will continue to be a loyal customer :)"

"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."

Neveria Chay'os

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28)

"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."

Brimley's Water & Ice

Iced Out Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4 (14)

"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!"

Oasis Raspados

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (16)

"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."
