Located near ASU downtown campus, Melt. is a perfect addition to the Arts' District. I mean, why didn't we have a local ice cream parlor in PHOENIX yet? The small shop is ran by a nice youthful and friendly couple and the ice cream is made with local ingredients. You can grab ice cream and take it next door to Lost Leaf and make a beer float, take it across the street to the bookstore and watch the open mic, or just sit on Melt.s incredible front patio. At first I was a little scared of their 7 dollar milkshake until I was reminded that it was made using local dairy products (and it was the most delicious shake I have ever put in my face). Melt. It's a First Friday must stop venue too!
