| - Originally, we had neither heard of this place nor were intending on coming here. However, due to a slight incident with a stranger; we wound up enjoying this delightful shop.
Let me explain.
After dinner, my wife and I often stroll through Main Street and various parts of Old Town. We were walking south on Scottsdale Road, and I heard the sounds of brisk walking coming upon us from behind. Off the corner of my eye, I saw this guy with his hands inside his jacket about to walk past us. However, as he passes us; he immediately stopped. Then he steps in front of us (mostly her), and turned to mutter some words. My wife gets startled, screams, then starts hyperventilating.
I had already grabbed her coat, moved her aside, and I stepped in between him and her. He screams, takes his hands out of his pocket, apologizes profusely and begins to quickly walk away. I was probably a second away from kicking his a$$.
As I comforted her, I yelled at him and informed him that his movement was not appreciated. He apologized again as he walked away. Now, my wife and I have always endeavored to be kind to strangers; and once the adrenaline had resided; I yelled out to him asking what he wanted.
He yelled back that he was a tourist, and he was looking for Rehab Burger. Since the situation was now calmer, I summarily informed him that his actions would have definitely gotten him some Rehab Burger Therapy of a different sort. He laughed, my wife laughed, and I guided him to where it was at on 2nd street, which was the next street over.
Now, the best way to calm my wife down after an unnecessary scare like this is to offer her sweets. We didn't really want to walk all the way north and fight the crowds at Sugar Bowl. At that time, we were already at 1st street. And as I looked east down that road, I spied Shakes & Cones. And so there we went!
A short walk across Scottsdale road, and we were there. I was still so concerned for her that I didn't notice the fact that you order and pick up through the giant windows. I tugged at the door, and went right in - DUH!
The two young ladies smiled and politely informed me / us that we can just order at the Window, and we don't need to come in. And they assuaged my embarrassment by informing me that many people make that same mistake. (Pro-Tip: Order at the Window!)
They are billed as Organic Soft Serve. Pay close attention. Let me inform you that you should dispel any reservations you may have about Soft Serve. McDonald's and Wendy's and other fast food restaurants may have given Soft Serve a negative connotation.
Not so, here at Shakes & Cones. Their Soft Serve is fantastic! Period!
My wife had the BCG, and if there is anything that could have put some calm back into her demeanor - this was definitely it. She absolutely thought that the BCG was both sweet and delectable.
I had the strawberry shake and the Affogato. Both of these items were equally as delightful.
The flavors and consistency are of high quality, and the fact that it is Organic gets this shop an A+ rating in our book. We have been back several times since this writing, and no lost tourist has been harmed in the process.
