| - Needed a cool refreshing treat last week, while I was in AZ for Spring Training and stopped by this cute ice cream shop in downtown Mesa. It's very close to Hohokam Stadium and we arrived a bit early for the A's game, so we decided to check this place out.
Found a parking spot right out front, which I wasn't expecting. It's a little shop, but they have a nice variety of options to my liking. Based upon their Yelp reviews, they specialize in their cookie ice cream sandwiches. However, from gazing at the menu, you can get a brownie sandwich, ice cream by itself and as you review the menu boards, you see how reasonably priced everything is. I had to take a double-take when I saw a single scoop cookie ice cream sandwich for $2.50. If you wanted to splurge on 3 scoops of ice cream, the price was $4. Heck, there are those gourmet ice cream shops that charge $4 for a single scoop.
I decided upon a cookie ice cream sandwich with a chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies, with a scoop of mint chip. My son ordered the M&M and chocolate chip cookies, with a scoop of mint chip ice cream. You'd think for $2.50, you'd get this tiny little ice cream sandwich, but that's not the case. I wish I found this little gem earlier during my trip, since I would definitely have gone back a few times.
