Melt

A great place to stop for a sweet treat. I always love the flavor options Melt has. The service is quick and samples are encouraged! I went with the cherry chip and I loved every bite! Definitely stop here if you're in need of dessert in the downtown area :)

Stopped in this location nestled inside Jobot coffee & bar. There weren't a ton of flavor options that excited me so I opted for a double scoop with butter pecan and vanilla bean-- you can't go wrong with either! I appreciate how they place the scoops in a take out box with a fortune cookie.

Funky little ice cream shop in downtown Phoenix. They serve their ice cream in a Chinese takeout box with a fortune cookie. They had a decent amount of choices of hard ice cream, probably around 8. I ended up picking matcha, but they had the classics like chocolate, ice cream, mint, etc. it didn't seem like much in the way of fancy choices or toppings. But the price was very reasonable and the ambiance instead was nice - it was really eccentric, dimly lit. Not too busy and a nice place to grab a scoop after some drinks!

Was looking for a place to take my kids for ice cream and did not research enough. This is actually ice cream being served in a bar. They have a full dj and everything. It's pretty cool inside! The flavor options were plenty but they were close to being out of a few of them. We got vegan blueberry, a peanut brittle option, chocolate, and pink Cookie Monster. All flavors were yummy and the lady at the counter was super sweet! The ice cream was served in little Chinese food to go containers. I think they ran out because my friend got his in a cup.

Sorbets and ice creams were tangle. I had the honey lavender lemonade tangy sorbet and it was definitely good! I thought it was just a ice cream shop. But people were able to order food and sit and eat. It's a pretty interesting place. I'd definitely go back.

Stopped in for coffee and breakfast on this cute street full of eateries. Unfortunately they weren't serving food as the chef was out but they did have donuts. And the barista was very apologetic and sweet we totally understood. The interior is nice and would be great for a date or catch up over some beer or coffee. The Americano was excellent. Super aromatic and tasted fantastic. It was cold and rainy and this was the perfect pick me up.

tl;dr expect a whimsical spin on artisanal ice cream at this nested scoop shopDespite Phoenix's wide array of frozen dessert offerings, Melt has carved out a niche, unconventional brand of artisanal ice cream. The operation is tucked away inside Jobot Coffee & Bar, itself smack-dab at a busy downtown intersection off Roosevelt. The space is industrial and slightly grungy. Barebone lighting structures and exposed ductwork hang from the high, dark ceilings. Concrete extends from the unpolished floors to the structural columns. A desert sunset mural runs parallel to the long, green LED-lit bar, with the ice cream display at the far end. Patrons are posted up at assorted tables and mismatched seating, each armed with some combination of coffee, ice cream, and draught beer. Classic and contemporary hip-hop echoes around the space.A friend and I swung by Melt to satisfy a wicked weekend ice cream hankering. Unable to find a list of flavors beforehand, we were surprised and pleased upon arriving that most fell on the adventurous side. Of note, Melt only offers a single size (3 scoops of only a single flavor), so we opted for 2 orders to mix and match. After a few samples, we decided on the Mexican Elote and Cochito y Cafe. Our scoops were served in Melt's signature fashion: within a Chinese takeout box and decked with a fortune cookie topper. As a whole, the ice cream was mildly gritty and intensely flavorful without hiding behind an overly sweet facade. The elote scoops had plentiful kernels of corn, with flavors contrasted by a hint of chile. Meanwhile, the coffee 'scream was heavily spiced like a chai, with gingersnap cookie chunks mixed throughout.Service was friendly and helpful, and each takeout box (probably a half-pint of ice cream) ran a hair under $8. While I've had better and cheaper ice cream, Melt's commitment to its offbeat brand was a fun experience worthy of a visit. In the future, I definitely could see myself returning for food and a brew to pair with the funky flavors.

I have quite a sweet tooth so when we were walking around for first Friday on Roosevelt row, we search for a place to have dessert and this was the first spot to pop up.It's a very unique spot. You walk in and it's darker inside for that chill vibe, good music and to the left there's a display of odd in animate objects which would be an interesting IG post! To the right after you order your ice cream are a some spots to sit at if you don't want to walk around eating ice cream.Love the creativity of how the ice cream is placed in a Chinese to go box. Sometimes I get pulled in just from the packaging and this won me! The best part is that the ice cream itself was flavorful and they give heaping amounts of it! Totally shareable but if you can eat a pint of ice cream, you can have your own! You can combine flavors too! Give it a shot if your around this area and you won't be disappointed!

The most unique ice cream service I've ever experienced. It's literally in a bar, no joke.The cinnamon, and prickly pear flavors were extremely good.The fruity pebble cheese cake was disappointing. The cheesecake flavor was quite light, and the fruity pebbles became an undesirable texture.

Great place for some ice cream on a hot day. They had some really interesting flavors. We tried the peach basil but it was a little exotic and too basil-y for my tastes. Ended up with the mango sorbet and strawberry ice cream. The strawberry was fine but the mango was amazing! It had tiny pieces of mango which were just the right level of sweetness and had a nice texture.
