Shakes & Cones

I like that this place is like "Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers" in that you know what you're getting from their name...but this place is better at what they do than the other place I mentioned (Seriously, that place sucks). Shakes & Cones does good ice cream in the desert. What more do you need? What a genius business...Serving cold dessert to hot and tired customers. Start an ice cream shop in the arid tundra of Phoenix and you will not be without business. Mr Wonderful and Mark Cuban would def invest. This place is really good. Looking for cheeseburgers? Go someplace else. A $28 cocktail? You're in Scottsdale, walk 100 feet in any direction and you can find that. Barbecue? That's the place next door. Looking for some ice cream? Hell yeah, brother. Get some.

Loads of tasty flavors in a cute little walk-up window. Was a hot day and ice cream sounded like a good idea so we stopped over to check it out. Not gonna lie, would have been nice to duck into a shop with some AC, but she got our shake and ice cream cup super fast so we were cooling down nicely. Lots of mixers to customize your treat, and fabulous for walking around Old Town Scottsdale.

If I could give 6 stars to Shakes & Cones I would. What is a kiosk operation (as you order from the street) turns out is a culinary delight. With dairy and vegan ice cream choices alike, with fantastic quality, there is something for everyone. Service is great as they helped me navigate extensive menu and their recommendations were fantastic. I decided on having vegan cookie butter ice cream with vegan whipped cream. Justin was very enthusiastic in recommending it, and to be honest this is the best ice cream I ever had. Special thanks to him. While seating is street-side of which I am no fan, the quality of ice cream, and friendliness of staff more than makes up for it!!!!!

Yummy!!!!!! I wanted to try this place out because because it offers vegan ice cream. I had the vanilla and chocolate fudge and it was by far the best ice cream I have had. The location is in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale so if you are ever in the area I suggest you give this place a try.Oh!!! The customer service was helpful, friendly and all around amazing

Creamiest ice cream I've had in a while and refreshing for a hot day in Phoenix! I definitely recommend - I went classic with the vanilla with Oreo and was not disappointed. They only have outdoor seating.

this ice cream was great!!! i got a chocolate vanilla twist with heath and caramel. no complaints at all. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

4.5 StarsShakes & Cones is truly a gem in Old Town! The convenience of the counter service is what makes this place so easy to order a snack and go. They have a few tables on the sidewalk in front of the store. Mic check, one - two. Mic check ONE TWO, ahem can you hear me?!?! Shakes and Cones has Dairy Free options!! My favorite by far is the dairy-free vanilla shake with fresh strawberries mixed in. It's the best vegan strawberry shake I've had so far! Don't set your heart one one item if you plan on coming back, they have plenty of great options!The only downside, it's Old Town Scottsdale. Parking and crowds can be a challenge. The upside, great people watching while you're enjoying your treat!

We were first-timers tonight! We headed here after dinner at Dilla Libre and really enjoyed it.I tried their vegan vanilla with their no food dye sprinkles and it was okay. My daughter's chocolate (normal) soft serve was considerably better, but to have a vegan option is pretty cool in soft serve. I think they need to offer a flavor besides vanilla.It's an ice cream counter and there are some tables outside, so it's a fun place to be when the weather is nice and right off the main road so plenty of parking in nearby lots or in spaces in front of the place.Other shakes, sundaes, and ice creams are available, too. We'll be back. I want to try the strawberry soft serve next.

While both of our drinks were okay they weren't amazingly flavorful, they were good and I would come here again. It's a very cute, walk up shop. The gentleman taking our order looked also to be making the drinks so it took a little while to get them since it was a one man job. There is no inside seating and limited seating outside, just an FYI!

Delicious ice cream and great espresso! Service was fast and friendly at their window walkup. Love that everything here is made with good, quality ingredients. I ordered the affogato and the only thing that would have made it better was if I would have ordered it with chocolate sprinkles. So good and the perfect afternoon snack.
