"We love walking down the The City Creamery after dinner from time to time! I love that they sell locally roasted and made cold brew too! The flavors are amazing-I only wish they came out with a cookie dough type ice cream some time."

"Wow! Such a great place to get a little ice cream. Easy to give this spot a 5-stars with how friendly they were, the fact that the scopes were very generously sized, and that they have the old-school homemade ice cream makers. I tried a little bit of the cookies & cream, huckleberry, and pistachio. All were delicious but my favorite always seems to be cookies & cream. Just a personal flavor thing. I tried the cookies & cream in a waffle bowl which was good too. Again, very generous scopes inside a big waffle bowl which I appreciated! Also, very clean inside which was great. Thank you all! If you visit, I hope you find some flavors you enjoy as much as I enjoy cookies & cream"

"We enjoyed trying out this ice cream shop! The service was very good! You can sample flavors ahead of time to make sure you like what you get. They make their ice creams and have some good flavors that you don’t find everywhere - like huckleberry or prickly pear. The dark chocolate was really good."

"This place is AMAZING!! Some of the best ice cream I have ever had. It's definitely worth signing up for the reward club. The people working here are always such a pleasure to see and talk to. The service is the best!! Midnight Chocolate, mint chip, and salted Carmel are all great choices, in my opinion. The serving sizes are definitely worth the prices. When you walk by this place, it smells so good, like fresh made waffle cones. I can not express my love for this store!! I always look forward to going to Cave Creek just for ice cream at this place! Thanks for being a great place!!"
