Let's go to sugar bowl she said... it'll be fun she said... it's famous cause of Family Circus and it's a long standing Scottsdale anchor...
I get that. I understand nostalgia as much as the next fella - but when you walk in a joint and immediately you know that not much has changed since the '60s, you know something's up.
I suppose, aside from the old pink décor, I'm referring to the smell. You know the one... like when you walk in someone else's grandparents home. Or when you visit a funeral parlor. That's it.
The menu is more than a little overwhelming. Mostly due to flavors & menu items that were popular in the '60s and make the rest of us who weren't alive then scratch our heads.
Ya get three stars for nostalgia - for staying in business long enough to be jam packed busy on a weeknight for reasons beyond me.
The ice cream was less than impressive, but I will admit I was entertained by the customers who were wide eyes remembering times they came there in their childhood...
So, in summary, maybe it's worth checking this place out once, or bringing your kid for a scoop, but don't go here expecting delicious cream or amazing service, cause you'll be disappointed.
