| - A joint like Pink Spot was long overdue for this part of own. It's brightly lit and brightly colored, with a corner shelving unit stocked with kids books and games (they have Cooties!). I could see this being an easy favorite for neighborhood kids.
Free WiFi is a bonus for folks who want to hang with some ice cream, coffee, and a laptop. It's open until 9 pm.
That said, how's the ice cream? A few of their flavors are off - like birthday cake. I felt my teeth falling out after one bite. But usually every ice cream joint has a flavor that doesn't agree with you. I'm a big fan of mint chip and I'd say theirs was decent. Average, I guess would be more accurate. Kona coffee is pretty tasty, though. They have about 16 flavors on display daily which isn't the greatest selection but you should be able to find something you'd like (probably not the blue bubblegum). Friendly ice cream servers are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
Now, word to the wise. Their portions are HUGE. Seriously. Massive. A single scoop is more than enough, and I'm a guy who can woof down ice cream like no one's business. Because it's really four scoops disguised as one. Maybe five. So if you're feeling like ice cream after your Z Pizza next door, maybe a kids scoop is more your speed.
All in all, Pink Spot doesn't give you the greatest ice cream in the world (be it produced in Hawaii or California or wherever), which is too bad. But it's still ice cream in central Phoenix, which will always be more than welcome. An open place to work with your laptop if every table at Lux is full.
That is, until you get to your massive sugar crash and you wake up with your face drooling all over your keyboard.
3-and-something stars.
