With so many 5 star reviews this place caught our attention. On a recent trip to Phoenix one night we decided to have ice cream for dinner. (Try it sometime!)
We loaded up and made our way to Novel. It's in a nice, working class neighborhood with well maintained houses just off 7th Ave. it's an area quickly gaining a good reputation for innovative and high quality dining choices.
As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by Brandon who told us about their ice cream, the awards they've won and what they are most famous for: stuffed doughnuts.
After my family and I tried several samples we each chose a different flavor and a topping for our stuffed doughnut. It's a glazed doughnut without the hole that is used to make a sandwich for their delicious, creamy ice cream. The food alone was worth a 5 star review. But I wish I could give it 6 stars because Brandon and the two helpful and charming young ladies that helped us were warm and friendly and made us feel so welcome.
I travel to Phoenix several times a year but sadly this was my first time coming to Novel. Don't repeat my mistake. Of all the places I've been in Phoenix this tops the list of must sees when it comes to dining.
