    The Sugar Bowl is like something from my imagination!! Super cute, great service, and amazing ice cream! (I would recommend a brownie with vanilla ice cream, topped with hot caramel).

    Pretty much everyone in town knows about this perennial favorite's magnificent ice cream treats; after all, they've been around nearly a half century. Read more

    Get a milkshake extra luscious (glass is lined with chocolate, caramel, or marshmallow sauce). You can get any ice cream flavor as a shake, not just the ones listed on the menu. Or get a sundae.

    Smooth and super chocolatey, the chocolate shake at Sugar Bowl is not much of a departure from your usual chocolate shake, but it's tasty and the presentation is on point. Read more

    This is one of those places that everyone that comes to Phoenix should go to, it's got a great menu and the ice cream is wonderful and all the Bill Keane "Family Circus" cartoons are so sweet.

    Super crowded on Saturday nights, but If you don't mind bumping elbows, the ice cream is tasty. Though if you're looking to grab a cone and get out, it may take a whole for you to get noticed

    Their sundaes are definitely the highlight, but don't sleep on the milkshakes - not too long ago I had probably the best chocolate milkshake in my life. Not uncommon to see celebs either!

    The real question is what's not good here. I've been coming here since my grandmother took me here when I was actually small.

    Cute, old-fashion ice cream parlor. They have the best banana splits and chocolate milkshakes! Make an evening of it and explore Old Town after dessert.

    Great food. Just don't stand out apparently the old people still think it's the 50's. Got to love closet racism.

    I'm a simple guy. I travel a lot for work. Hands down best vanilla ice cream in a sugar cone in the Southwest.

    If you are visiting Arizona and want the perfect dessert spot, go to Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. Nothing is fancy, it's simply delicious.

    Family owned business since 1958 and has been featured in the Family Circus cartoons. The pink walls, arcade games and ever-so-special ice cream sundaes bring back all the childhood memories.

    I don't know what the hype is! It's a very old ice cream store. It is Super pink inside. It has an old Game room where most of the games were out of order. The ice cream was average.
