| - Since I moved here 5 months ago, I am always looking for the local businesses. I like to support local anytime I can. And, in my opinion, it is almost always better than a chain. Don't get me wrong, there are some chains I like, but if you buy local it goes back into the local economy more than if you went to a chain. So I found Mary Coyle's on Yelp and thought it might be good place to take my daughter. And we both love ice cream.
Saturday evening, we had been at home all day and needed to get out a little bit. 6 year olds start to go stir crazy after a while. I didn't tell her where we were going. We pulled into the parking lot and when she saw the sign she yelled "ice cream....YUM!!" We walk in and are promply seated. It's busy with families on this Labor Day weekend and they all seem to be having a good time. The menu is extensive but we like things simple. My daughter had a child's sundae, which I thought was resonabley priced at $1.75. She got a big scoop of Mint Chip with carmel sauce and whipped cream. And ate every bite of it! I asked our server what she would recommend. She suggested the Vanilla Carmel Cinnamon Swirl. I had a scoop of that in a waffle cone bowl. It was a large scoop and the ice cream was delicious!! I asked if they did seasonal flavors....my favorite is pumpking pie ice cream....and, yes, in fact pumpking pie is one of the flavors that will be comeing next month!! YAY!! I will be back!
Not many ice cream places.....REAL ice cream places, have a drive thru. MC's does! What a great idea if you just want to get a pint or a quart to go and be on your way.
For those of you who want to espose the evils of ice cream, go right ahead. Yes, it's got fat in it. Yes, it's a dairy product. Yes, you should not sit and eat a pint by yourself in one sitting. But go ahead, live a little once in a while! It won't kill you. And you must be a sad person if you never have just a little of this delicious goodness.
I know MC's has been around a long time. I know it moved locations. If you take it for what it is, a Phoenix institution, then you will be fine. The night we were here, it was busy but the bus boys were cleaning up right after the tables were emptied and doing a decent job. I did not venture into the restroom so I can't say anything there. My daughter was enjoying the 50's music that was playing while we ate. I liked the overal vibe of the place. Yes, the staff looks very young but didn't you work somewhere when you were 16? They just need someone to keep them in line. The young lady that waited on us was very pleasant and came back to check on us twice.
I will be back for sure to try some of that Pumpkin Pie ice cream YUM!!!!
