| - Wow. Like a lot. We drove here from Mesa because of the Yelp reviews and it being featured in the Yelp email, and let me say that it was well worth the drive! My partner thought i was nuts driving all the way to Laveen for ice cream, but after our experience here even she admitted I did good!
The owner was there and spent a good 20 minutes getting us to try pretty much every flavour they had. I nearly had a meltdown trying to pick what I wanted. The salted caramel was a perfect blend of sweet and salty, the German chocolate cake was amazing, the red velvet was the next best thing to having the real thing. The sorbet was refreshing and not too sweet. I ended up opting for the Cookie Monster, because it's blue and cotton candy flavoured, and I have a strange affinity for both. My partner went for the strawberry cheesecake and it was just about perfect. By checking in with Yelp we got free upgrades to a waffle cone, and mine was still warm!!!
The owner was extremely personable and answered all our questions. He ran back and forth, getting us samples of the flavours they had in the back. He explained why they use Illinois milk instead of Arizona milk (it's interesting... ask him about it!).
We sat outside, ate our ice cream and watched as a large group went in... to make their own ice cream! What a perfect, unique date, or something to do for a kid's birthday party.
I will happily make the trek up there anytime for this homemade ice cream with some of the most unique flavours I've had!
