Great new little Ice Cream shop in the Scottsdale Old Town area! We were walking around on vacation and Ashley had the hankering for a cone! We decided to check this place out! Glad we did! The owners greeted us with a smile and told us they had been open about a month now! I asked if they had Vegan Ice cream, and No dice on that so I got a 32 ounce ROOT BEER, It ruled! They offered to top it off before I left as well! Very Nice of them! Ashley enjoyed a organic vanilla ice cream cone, and she thought it was fantastic! A perfect lazy Sunday afternoon treat while on Vacation! Glad we stopped by Shakes and Cones! Should be renamed Shakes, Cones, and SMILES!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for shakes and cones! If you are ever in the mood for ice cream in the Scottsdale area, you must try this place out! Don't be afraid of the word "organic" on the sign. After one lick you will wonder where this stuff has been your whole life. Great, staff, great owners and best of all great ice cream!

Remember Nutty Buddies/Drumsticks/those things? Imagine a made-to-order rendition, mostly organic, not irreparably freezer burned in a 94-pack from Costco (ah, the summers of my youth...) You can totally get that at Shakes & Cones, but I have no idea what it tastes like. That was the plan, but then we sat down with a "Vanutzel - Nutella, chocolate pretzels, vanilla soft serve - 12 oz." (watching the figure, obviously.) And "Also, the Texas chocolate sheet cake with swirl soft serve ice cream and peanuts and whipped cream, add chocolate pretzels." Highlights: happy family-run (mom's due in two weeks!), fragrant vanilla soft serve, salty chocolate pretzels, peanuts, organic whipped cream, rewards card to fuel the addiction. I could've done without the super sugary sheet cake and the chocolate soft serve, but didn't do without, and ate all of it. So yeah. I'll get to the Nutty Buddy Renaissance eventually... until then, I may have lost my Cakes & Shame privileges.

After our experience, I'm a bit befuddled by all of the positive reviews. The idea of a "stand" (it's just a window where you order and there's no indoor area at all) is cutesy but on a hot Arizona night when it was 110 degrees at 8 p.m., it was annoying. This place has soft serve and while I like soft serve, I didn't care for mine. The texture was odd and almost mealy.
(2)Brad W.
Back to try the ice cream again after receiving some coupons due to my last review. Seems like they changed the soft serve - it appears more creamy now, but still tastes fine. I do believe though that I was overcharged for my addition of sprinkles. Pretty sure the menu says 75 cents extra, but my sprinkles tab was 97 cents. Maybe the third time will be the charm at this place.
(3)George A.
We are from Nashville and some friends recommend this place. We have been a few times. Absolutely love the quality of the soft serve. Tastes amazing and is the best for you anywhere around. Staff has always been friendly even when my kids are in a hurry for their ice cream. Got several things including the Zoe's cake with vanilla and hot fudge. The caramel sauce is a top brand that is better than any I have tried. We are repeat customers and we can see why so many other people are too. Definitely a place to go in Scottsdale.
(5)Fred W.
Just visited Shakes & Cones today for the first time and had one of their specialty shakes - AMAZINGLY GOOD! I think these guys just opened up this weekend as their full menu wasn't quite available but now I have even more options to look forward to on my next visit. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
(5)Ash S.
Be patient, it's worth the wait!!! There is normally one person taking orders and making everything. The Salted Caramell is the must here. It's a Carmel, creamy shake with flakes of sea salt, very rich. My boyfriend and I shared and couldn't finish it. Never happened with dessert before.

How difficult is it to order a small chocolate cone? Apparently very difficult. ...it took 15 minutes and there was no line or no one else except my daughter and I. A small place where you order from a window off of 1st Street and Scottsdale Road. So I order a small chocolate cone, did I say cone and a small chocolate shake. After waiting for 10 minutes my daughter and I sit down to wait and then after another 5 more minutes the girl brings out a chocolate ice cream in a CUP!!! Granted it was more in ice cream quantity than a cone but I ordered a cone and just mainly wanted to taste. I asked her is this the cone and she said she would give me a cone with the cup. I just said no. And by the way 5 minutes later the shake wad done. The soft serve ice cream was nothing special. I definitely hit the wrong time to try out this place and for the price would definitely not come here again. Do yourself a favor and get into your car and go to Sugar Bowl down the street or go to Churn or Cold Stone and don't waste your time and money.
(1)Jennifer P.
Totally Totally hits the spot on a hot Arizona day. nice to know that its made with organic ingredients and the price isn't outrageous. Some places will take advantage of calling themselves organic and up the price , but not the case here. The cone was very plentiful, at least for my consumption. I really wanted to try the affogato but didn't want to be glutinous since I wanted a full size cone as well so I opted for a cone and an iced coffee. Coffee was good, which only made me want an affogato even more...oh well. Minimal choices on flavors, they really only have chocolate and vanilla. So if you are wanting variety this is not your place. But if you want a good simple cone made with organic ingredients, totally worth the stop. Next time I'm in town, i'll try the affogato.
(4)Martin S.
I've recently stopped back by shakes and cones and had a great experience. The two at the counter were so nice and pleasant, a far cry from the snobby teenagers they had previously employed. In addition to following up to see how the ice cream they also offered me water while I was sitting at their outside tables. The organic soft serve was quite a treat, and I will be back for another one. Thanks for getting rid of the bratty teenage counter people, their manor was truly a turnoff especially to my diabetic wife who could not eat the larger standard portions and simply asked for less and in turn was treated like she had asked them to turn summersaults. Nothing curdles ice cream like sour demeanors. We will be back!
(5)Linh F.
We just finished up lunch and we were looking for some dessert. Stumbled on this cute place that had soft serve! Score! Ice Cream: The soft serve was pretty good. Very rich and creamy. There were little chunks of white stuff in our vanilla cone. We thought it might be chunks of vanilla? No idea. It will remain a mystery. Soft serve (small run you 3.95) can be ordered in a regular cone (no sugar cones available) or cup. You could order a waffle cone but for some extra mula. Oh, did I mention this place serves organic soft serve? Service: The lady who helped us was nice. It was her first day working alone so she seemed very scattered. Ambience: You order your ice cream from the window. You can't enter their shop. Instead, you enjoy your cone on a few chairs and tables right in front.
(4)Libby H.
I've been excited to check out shakes & cones since I saw the sign go up in their little order window last fall. I love their concept of locally-owned and operated, non-GMO, organic ice cream, I love the location and the feel and we had a good experience when we visited. The thing is, it's pretty standard ice cream. I love a good twist ice cream, so I got a small twist in a bowl. I liked it, but for me it wasn't something so amazing that it would make me pick them over another dessert stop. My husband had a strawberry shake and it was delightful, but again, nothing that set it apart from the competition. If you're walking by and thinking ice cream, it will fit the bill.
(3)Jennifer S.
Cute little place to order ice cream from the window in Old Town Scottsdale. We stopped by one night on the way back to our hotel from dinner and really enjoyed - simple, but tasty.
(4)Victoria P.
My husband and I live down the street and have walked here several times. We've tried a few different items; root beer float (they have a line of organic sodas), sundaes, shakes & cones. The shakes are not your typical, suck through a straw, variety. They are thick and delicious. The chocolate is great. Think Wendy's Frosty, but way better. My only complaint is that a cup & cone are the same price, but you don't get as much with the cone.
(4)C D.
The soft serve is sooo yummy I just wish the other ingredients/options were organic as well. I also don't like the fact that they serve their organic product in a styrofoam cup with a plastic spoon... Get some cute biodegradable packaging and more organic options. Over all the concept is great just needs some tweaking.
(4)Emily R.
Best soft serve ever!! Bonus: all organic, non-gmo ingredients, so i didn't feel too guilty indulging in the hot fudge sundae!! I highly recommend Shakes & Cones to satisfy your sweet tooth. You will not be disappointed!
(5)Tamera Z.
Have visited Shakes and Cones a few times now, and have found my particular favorite is the Affogato, a coffee float. It is terrific and made particularly great because of the certified organic soft serve and organic espresso. Now, by no means am I a foodie, but I am kind of surprised at how harsh some of the reviewers are being. Nowhere did I find anything in print or on their signage that said that EVERYTHING in their place is 100% organic, nor did I find the people working their to be rude or unethical. After reading one of those reviews, I looked and asked, just to be sure- I have been served by different people at different times and have found their customer service outstanding. Thanks for adding a bit of sweetness to Old Town Scottsdale...am telling everyone I know about you - and that's A LOT of folks.
(5)Katelyn S.
My friend and I were at a sushi restaurant next door and we walked by Shakes & Cones afterwards.. We met the owners, who were awesome, and we tried some of their soft serve ice cream - it was bomb!!! They told us it's organic too which means it's healthy :) I will for sure be back soon!
(5)Diana L.
There is finally a soft serve place in the phoenix metro worth mentioning! Ice cream is so simple and delectable on top of being organic. The place is owned by a very nice young couple. Service is quick and friendly.
(5)Ashley D.
Saw this place walking to dinner and knew we had to stop back after dinner. We are so happy we did. This place an out doors and so cute, the staff is friendly, and best of all the ice cream is amazing! Every time I'm in old town I'll have to stop by!
(5)Kevin K.
First off I'm a sucker for a business owned by locals, I love that they are using organic and non-GMO ingredients. That being said the shakes are awesome. Personally I like mixing peanut butter cup and Oreos but I can't wait to try a few of the items on the menu.
(5)Katelyn W.
Love, love, love this place! Everything is delicious. And the owners are super friendly. Definitely a must try!
(5)Hello A.
I can't believe the lies that the owner is telling us. As what other reviewers have said time and time again there is nothing "organic" about serving m&m's and butterfingers. The owner needs to step away from yelp and stop posting responses. It makes him look really, really, really bad
(1)Jinger F.
My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this gem of a ice cream shop after dinner. What perfect after dinner desert options this place has to offer. We had the privilege of getting served by the owners. They were very personable and knowledgable. What a great concept, non-GMO, Organic deliciousness. Come out and support this local, organic and conscious shop. You will surly enjoy every bite.
(5)Kayla T.
I am from New York, so of course I am extremely picky when it comes to food. Moving out here was somewhat of a culture shock, mainly because I couldn't find any soft serve ice cream! I've been on a search for months to find decent ice cream out here in the desert. On my way out to dinner in Scottsdale, my hubby (from Tennessee, didn't know what all the hype over soft serve was) saw the sign for shakes and cones soft serve. I already thought, it must be frozen yogurt but we gave it a try anyways. A man told us they weren't open yet but if we stop by later and they get a machine running, they'll let us sample it. I obviously returned, eager to taste this organic ice cream. I wasn't sure what to expect but WOW! It was delicious. Very close to a carvel taste. It is creamy and you can taste how fresh it really is! My man finally understands why I can't just settle with dairy queen!! Not only is their ice cream amazing.. But my hubby and I stuck around and conversed with the owners a little and they are awesome. :) I will definitely be taking the 30 min drive out to Scottsdale regularly to have my fix of soft serve ice cream as soon as they open! I'm super excited :D
(5)Kari C.
Sweet sweet soft serve. Family night out in old town ended with this amazing new shop. Tons of choices, really fun staff and locally owned by siblings and their significant others who grew up in Glendale! It's always fun supporting local business, but this really is all my pleasure... so GOOD!!!
(5)Lindsey Q.
Greatest place to get ice cream EVER! Go for the Vanutzel, it'll change your ice cream life.
(5)Liz E.
Seriously amazing. I have been watching this space for a while now, waiting patiently for them to open. It was worth the wait!! No joke. The coffee shake I had was so so creamy & good. I can't get enough!! My son had the swirl cone & said it was his favorite ice cream ever!! Can't wait to go back!!
(5)Mariam A.
I really could taste the difference between regular soft serve and this organic soft serve!! Girl in the front was super nice!
(4)Jen M.
This is the perfect little ice cream stand to hit up after a nice dinner on a summer evening. They offer up all organic soft serve ice cream with all the delectable mix ins you could want. They are price compatible with cold stone but you get much better quality ingredients. The gluten free waffle cones are fresh & smell divine. The ice cream itself is nothing short of perfect. It doesn't take some time to get your order bec there are usually only two people working but IT IS worth the wait! They have a little patio area and cooling misters to help beat the heat while you wait! Last night I got the small BCG shake with Nutella mixed in, and it was absolute heavenly! The organic ingredients truly make all the difference in the world! This place is literally walking distance from my home so I have a feeling I'll be back soon!
(4)Kevin W.
Yummy soft serve certified organic non GMO KOSHER and Gluten free. I had the strawberry shake. It was really good. All seating is outdoors and shaded.
(4)Stephen H.
Excellent soft serve ice cream, and it is organic! Choice of cups or cones. Lots of other items on the menu as well
(5)Nandini M.
What a cute little soft serve place right in old town Scottsdale. I got the twist with sprinkles and it was delicious. I like that they make their waffle cones in house. You can really taste the difference! It is a little pricey and there is only outdoor seating, but still a great stop for a sweet treat.
(4)Ali B.
Was majorly craving some ice cream last night, and wanted to try some place different, then I had remembered this place that I had bookmarked on Yelp! The words "non-gmo" and "organic" in combination with ice cream is always a good sign. Even though you know it is still not healthy, its not quite as bad, right? Was surprised to see it was just like a little stop at the counter outside kind of place, but I liked that. I would have liked to see more seating though, there were only like six chairs and two or three tables when I went. Our cashier was nice, he was obviously being trained, but did a good job, he made sure to double check he had everything right which was nice. I ordered a small twist cone with sprinkles. Swirl ice cream is a childhood favorite of mine, and they didn't mess it up! Sometimes soft serve ends up too icy, like either the flavor or consistency is off, but this soft serve was smooth and tasted good. There were way too many sprinkles on my cone for my liking though. Not that it was awful, but I do not think I would get sprinkles next time. My friend got a vanilla ice cream blended with peanut butter. I did not like it much, the peanut butter was overpowering for my taste, but he loved it. Ate a large at warp speed haha. I would love to come back when it starts to heat up, try some other things on the menu!Like that one with Nutella and pretzels, I've got to try that!
(4)Cassandra G.
The young girls at the counter are bitchy but really good ice cream so I keep going back.
(4)Kelsey W.
We wandered over here after dinner next door at Bootleggers and it was the perfect sweet treat! I live in this area so I was surprised I had never heard of it.. So here I am writing this review, in the hopes that other people will discover and try it! Shakes & Cones is a super-cute, window-style stand with many different types of ice cream desserts! It was creamy, smooth, and delicious. I got chocolate/vanilla swirl with Nutella and cookie dough added (..sweet tooth is an understatement), and my sister got the Vanutzel - a vanilla/Nutella shake with chocolate covered pretzels mixed in. My brother loved his order too, keeping it simple with a cone of vanilla! Definitely check this place out! Oh and they have a free loyalty program so don't forget to join before you leave.. We are definitely rackin' up dollars towards free treats! ;)
(5)Derek K.
Best Ice-Cream in town. HANDS DOWN! Just go and find out for yourself. It won't disappoint. Great, friendly ownership too :).
(5)Ashley P.
So, okay. I had soft serve frozen yogurt. Just a swirl, small size, nothing fancy. I can't imagine why this place gets 5 stars. I was unable to locate anything special about it. We came after eating dinner down the street after finding it on Yelp, and after seeing the reviews, expected to be blown away. My husband got the blended froyo with m&ms. Again, the froyo base is the same so nothing special. Yes it was creamy, but an average soft serve to me. Seating sucks, and I don't like to walk while I eat my dessert since I can't concentrate on it. But it's just an ice cream, not too expensive (relatively), so not much harm if you do decide to try it.
(3)Richard C.
My wife and I found this place as we were leaving the farmers market one Saturday, and what a treat it turned out to be. I used to think soft serve ice cream was all the same, but Shakes & Cones takes it to a whole new level. I ordered the BCG (bananas, caramel, and graham crackers) which was fantastic - fresh banana makes SUCH a difference in a dessert. It was just the right amount of sweet and incredibly refreshing. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Old Town, especially with the weather heating up.
(5)Carolyn C.
I came here right around it first opened with my mom back in Sept 2014. I have loved it ever since. It tastes exactly how ice cream should taste... refreshingly sweet. The owners (what I assume are the owners) are the NICEST people. Everyone that's I've seen there is always super friendly. I've had the shakes but I prefer the classic cone with swirl ice cream.
(5)Jesse F.
Had the CBG (caramel,banana,graham cracker) all organic. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had! Now I know why they have rewards system...you will be back!!
(5)Scott F.
Went there and for some reason they couldnt put my mint C.C. ice cream in a cone just in a cup. Why? So i got something else and its just over priced cold crap.
(1)Tim B.
In Scottsdale for the weekend and found this awesome spot!! All the way from SF and really like this ice cream. From simple cone to chocolate peanut butter shake. Wow!
(5)Sydney D.
Thanks so much for bringing amazing chocolate soft serve to Old Town...Dairy Queen will be missing me. Ben and I have been raving about your yummy treats and excellent service (Hi Max!) since we stopped in last Friday. We'll be seeing you again soon!
(5)Travis B.
Pretty standard as far as soft serve ice cream goes. I mean, who loves soft serve? It's always pretty good, but not better than legit ice cream. So your going to be satisfied if your in the mood for something cold and sweet. They are a little heavy handed on the salt in the Salted Caramel shake so ask for a little less salt than normal if not into it being really salty!
(4)Patrick H.
I like to grab a soft serve swirl cone at this place when I'm in the area. You order at the counter that faces the sidewalk and then they get your order to you. The cashier chick has always been very friendly. Prices are a little higher than other places because they use organic non-gmo ingredients.
(3)Amanda P.
Yum! Delicious soft serve and such a cute shop. I am really a sucker for a well-designed look, and Shakes and Cones has a great atmosphere, from the sign and wall colors to the menu and casual, fun vibe. And locally-owned too! Plus I loved my shake and got to eat it sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon in Old Town. I appreciated the organic non-GMO ice cream and felt much better about giving my 1 year old bites. The shakes are thick and have your mix ins of choice mixed throughout, so every bite was yummy. Wish I was closer and could enjoy a shake more often!
(5)Jenna C.
Cute shop in and awesome location that serves delicious organic soft serve! I got a cup of vanilla topped with cookie dough, but my fiancé ordered the salted caramel blended and said it was just delightful!
(5)N B.
My comment is 100% accurate and anyone that chooses to can go on their website and see for themselves that a lot of the ingredients in the toppings and the cones are NOT organic. Toppings such as butterfingers, Nutella and m&m's. The soft serve itself does contain questioning ingredients such as carrageenan which was confirmed to me by the manufacture of their soft serve mix. As I said this is a lawsuit waiting to happen the moment someone with allergies come to this shop under the false belief that the store is 100%organic and they are allergic to non-organic ingredients. Clearly, integrity and being ethical is NOT on the top of their list. My suggestion? Do the right thing: either remove organic from their name OR use ONLY 100% organic products (not to be confused with "certified organic") and get rid of the cones, butterfingers and everything else that is clearly not. Since I wrote this review I was harassed and belittled by the owner in Facebook, twitter and yelp in a pathetic attempt to mansplain and defend his dishonesty.
(1)Conor D.
I've been meaning to write this for at least a month...better late than never I suppose! I traveled to Scottsdale over the holidays with my wife and 2 boys to get away for a few days. After grabbing a bite to eat we decided to wander around Old Town Scottsdale just to check everything out. Luckily we happened to park right behind this cute little soft serve shop. As we walked by, we saw two people smiling at our kiddo's and having just finished lunch, the timing couldn't have been better. Turns out it was the owners who helped us. They couldn't have been nicer giving our boys a chance to sample a few things to make sure they got exactly what they wanted. I had vanilla with brownie and carmel and it was absolutely delicious. I can't remember what the others had but I do know that we walked away completely satisfied. I've used Yelp for a long time and I am not much of a poster but knowing that this business just opened recently I wanted to make sure to give a nod to a place that does business the right way. Will be back again when we travel to Scottsdale for Spring Training!
(5)TC U.
I'm not interested in burying the hopes and dreams of a restaurateur, but this places SUCKS! I can't recall the last time I threw away an ice cream cone after 30 seconds. Small twist cone for $4 plus a $1 tip to the really excited staff (NOT). Bland, bitter, not enjoyable, abject flavors.....need I carry on. The fact I'm actually posting something regarding an ice cream cone should tell you all you need to know. It's organic alright......like dung!!!!
(1)G C.
love that we can step out of house and buy organic sweets at an ice cream walk up in the summer!!!!!
(5)Elika R.
Absolutely love this place. Always hits the spot, whether I'm ordering a swirl or dipped cone.
(5)Arnie L.
I've been going to Shakes & Cones since the day they opened. The soft ice cream is great!!! It's organic and does not have the hormones, antibiotics and other crud that is in most other ice cream. The owner is very friendly and the staff is as well. Unlike some other reviews, the wait time is never too long.
(5)Jenna V.
Great service--one of the friendly owners came out and chatted with us, great quality and delicious soft serve and waffle cones (with surprise chocolate chips at the bottom!). We came out from gilbert to try it and will continue to get our soft serve from here! We will just avoid going between 12-5pm as the summer is way too hot to stand outside (I devoured my ice cream because it was good but also because it was melting fast). They don't have indoor seating but they do have water misters if the heat doesn't bother you.
(4)David G.
Awesomely natural and gluten free. Great toppings and smooth soft serve. Loved it. Super nice owners, husband and wife team. Clean, nice outdoor seating right in front. Reminds me of Super Duper in Bay Area but ice cream is better!
(5)Cathy V.
Went again. This time I ordered the nutty buddy. Seriously delish. The sweet salty combo is wonderful. Just the right amount of hot fudge and peanuts. The whipped cream was the best ever...they make it onsite. This really is the best ice cream.
(5)Dustin S.
Great concept, awesome shake/blizzard thing ever! I had a oreo vanilla mix. Very pleasant staff.
(5)Tyler V.
I went to Shakes and Cones in old town Scottsdale about a week ago and it was fantastic! I tried the Vanutzel with Nutella, soft serve, and chopped chocolate covered pretzels and it was extremely tasty. My family had tried a number of other items and they all were delicious, it is definitely a spot to stop for. With most everything being organic you can feel less guilty about getting a sweet concoction. Another factor that puts Shakes and Cones over the top is it is a local business with friendly staff and a happy atmosphere. If you are in Scottsdale or even the Phoenix area Shakes and Cones is a definite spot to visit!
(5)Eric S.
Wonderful, friendly and ORGANIC! shakes, soft service and unusual ice cream concoctions. A no brainer place to stop for something sweet. Plenty of parking just next door too. Luv it!
(5)Jessica P.
So great! Love this new cute little walk up place. We had a swirl cone, dipped cone & a root beer float. All delicious! A fun new little treat in old town!
(5)Sammy G.
I don't know about the organic stuff, but the incredible, custard like soft serve ice cream is terrific. Really, really nice folks too. I'll be back!!
(5)Kathleen B.
This place is fantastic! Organic soft-serve ice cream!! I had the vanilla shake and my husband added organic peanut butter to his. Both were amazing!
(5)Matt R.
The Oreo Shake is great. I've been thinking about it all week. I'll certainly be heading back for more!
(5)Charlotte G.
Deeeelicious! My better half and I were visiting Phoenix for the day and I got a craving for some soft serve (92 degrees in May will do that to you). I found this little gem on Yelp and we drove on over. My standard ice cream go-to is a twist with rainbow sprinkles (or "jimmies" if you're from New England), but the sprinkles shipment hadn't come in yet... Good thing there were so many other delicious options available! I ended up with vanilla in a waffle bowl with cookie dough, heath bar and Oreos mixed in (Blizzard-style). Girl's gotta splurge sometimes! They were extremely generous with the toppings and the combo was fabulous, especially in the fresh edible bowl. The BF got the banana/graham cracker item on the menu and it was incredible too. And the best part is, it's all organic! So as you drive off stuffed full of sugar and creamy goodness, you can give yourself props for making the "healthy choice." ;)
(5)Ginnifer H.
Shakes & Cones is the only soft serve I will ever go to again!!! With not only the friendly and inviting staff, the business is LOCALLY OWENED & OPERATED. Shakes & Cones is making a name for itself in Scottsdale and will be the place to go for all of us around the valley. If you want a product that is tasteful and still healthier than most, Shakes & Cones is the place to try. Once you have tried Shakes & Cones I know you will be addicted and you will make the effort to visit over and over again. Thank you Shakes & Cones for bring a healthy alternative into a family love. Please visit Shakes & Cones soon!!!!!!
(5)Casey G.
We had a great Oreo and Peanut Butter shake. The owner - Max - was great also. The ice cream was high quality and we will definitely stop again the next time we are in old town.
(5)S B.
Extremely simple walk up ice cream, shake, and coffee place. Their ice cream is amazing and the service is great. We had a vanilla blend in with brownie and it's better than 90 percent of the ice cream places I've tried. Price is very reasonable for scottsdale. .
(5)Brian W.
When I dropped my wife off to get her hair done, I had a few hours to burn in old town Scottsdale and I stumbled upon this place. Pretty unique to have a walk-up window, so I liked that about it right off the bat. The guy who was running the register was super nice and friendly, so we talked for a quite while about life. The soft serve was very good and really smooth, so I was surprised to see that it was organic as well. I got a coffee/Heath bar shake, which was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted. I'll definitely be going here more often; I might even take my wife with me next time :)
(5)Julie J.
Love this place. Total find... And where I take everyone visiting. Best ice cream in Phoenix. :)
(5)Eddie F.
Been here before and loved the place. Anytime I'm on this part of town I always make sure to stop in. I don't know if I love it more than my wife loves this place but it's definitely a go to. Wish they opened earlier so we can indulge in the goodness they have to offer.
(5)Megan D.
New favorite ice cream place for our family! We have been twice, and both times have been fantastic!! We've tried the shakes, dipped cones, blend-ins and the coffee drinks...yum, yum, yum!! My kids love it, and there are so many options to make everyone happy!! The employees are friendly and happy to help! We will def be recommending this place to friends!
(5)Brenna H.
Cute walk up window. Great location. Delicious soft serve ice cream. I'll definitely be back, I have my next 2 orders already planned. I love local businesses and hope this one sticks around!

Delicious organic yogurt with a great selection of yummy toppings. I recommend the Zoe's Cake Dish -- a perfect treat! Check out Shakes and Cones. You will definitely come back for more.

Visited Shakes and Cones for a yummy treat after lunch and loved it! The chocolate soft serve was creamy, smooth, and so delicious. It reminded me of the soft serve you can get back east, which I have missed. So needless to say, I am thrilled to have this wonderful soft server shop nearby. I will be visiting as often as I can.
(5)Amanda P.
Yum! Delicious soft serve and such a cute shop. I am really a sucker for a well-designed look, and Shakes and Cones has a great atmosphere, from the sign and wall colors to the menu and casual, fun vibe. And locally-owned too! Plus I loved my shake and got to eat it sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon in Old Town. I appreciated the organic non-GMO ice cream and felt much better about giving my 1 year old bites. The shakes are thick and have your mix ins of choice mixed throughout, so every bite was yummy. Wish I was closer and could enjoy a shake more often!
(5)Jenna C.
Cute shop in and awesome location that serves delicious organic soft serve! I got a cup of vanilla topped with cookie dough, but my fiancé ordered the salted caramel blended and said it was just delightful!

My comment is 100% accurate and anyone that chooses to can go on their website and see for themselves that a lot of the ingredients in the toppings and the cones are NOT organic. Toppings such as butterfingers, Nutella and m&m's. The soft serve itself does contain questioning ingredients such as carrageenan which was confirmed to me by the manufacture of their soft serve mix. As I said this is a lawsuit waiting to happen the moment someone with allergies come to this shop under the false belief that the store is 100%organic and they are allergic to non-organic ingredients. Clearly, integrity and being ethical is NOT on the top of their list. My suggestion? Do the right thing: either remove organic from their name OR use ONLY 100% organic products (not to be confused with "certified organic") and get rid of the cones, butterfingers and everything else that is clearly not. Since I wrote this review I was harassed and belittled by the owner in Facebook, twitter and yelp in a pathetic attempt to mansplain and defend his dishonesty.

I've been meaning to write this for at least a month...better late than never I suppose! I traveled to Scottsdale over the holidays with my wife and 2 boys to get away for a few days. After grabbing a bite to eat we decided to wander around Old Town Scottsdale just to check everything out. Luckily we happened to park right behind this cute little soft serve shop. As we walked by, we saw two people smiling at our kiddo's and having just finished lunch, the timing couldn't have been better. Turns out it was the owners who helped us. They couldn't have been nicer giving our boys a chance to sample a few things to make sure they got exactly what they wanted. I had vanilla with brownie and carmel and it was absolutely delicious. I can't remember what the others had but I do know that we walked away completely satisfied. I've used Yelp for a long time and I am not much of a poster but knowing that this business just opened recently I wanted to make sure to give a nod to a place that does business the right way. Will be back again when we travel to Scottsdale for Spring Training!

First off I'm a sucker for a business owned by locals, I love that they are using organic and non-GMO ingredients. That being said the shakes are awesome. Personally I like mixing peanut butter cup and Oreos but I can't wait to try a few of the items on the menu.
(5)Black X.
Soft serve dipped in a delicious "magic" candy shell? When it's 102 at night , not a bad idea. Great ice cream, organic. The real standout here though is the service. Two nice looking and extremely nice college girls who were intelligent and can hold a conversation. A rarity in 2015. Grab a cone and walk Old Town
(5)Kelly V.
After our experience, I'm a bit befuddled by all of the positive reviews. The idea of a "stand" (it's just a window where you order and there's no indoor area at all) is cutesy but on a hot Arizona night when it was 110 degrees at 8 p.m., it was annoying. This place has soft serve and while I like soft serve, I didn't care for mine. The texture was odd and almost mealy.
(2)Ash S.
Be patient, it's worth the wait!!! There is normally one person taking orders and making everything. The Salted Caramell is the must here. It's a Carmel, creamy shake with flakes of sea salt, very rich. My boyfriend and I shared and couldn't finish it. Never happened with dessert before.
(5)Liz E.
Seriously amazing. I have been watching this space for a while now, waiting patiently for them to open. It was worth the wait!! No joke. The coffee shake I had was so so creamy & good. I can't get enough!! My son had the swirl cone & said it was his favorite ice cream ever!! Can't wait to go back!!
(5)Jennifer P.
Totally Totally hits the spot on a hot Arizona day. nice to know that its made with organic ingredients and the price isn't outrageous. Some places will take advantage of calling themselves organic and up the price , but not the case here. The cone was very plentiful, at least for my consumption. I really wanted to try the affogato but didn't want to be glutinous since I wanted a full size cone as well so I opted for a cone and an iced coffee. Coffee was good, which only made me want an affogato even more...oh well. Minimal choices on flavors, they really only have chocolate and vanilla. So if you are wanting variety this is not your place. But if you want a good simple cone made with organic ingredients, totally worth the stop. Next time I'm in town, i'll try the affogato.
(4)Martin S.
I've recently stopped back by shakes and cones and had a great experience. The two at the counter were so nice and pleasant, a far cry from the snobby teenagers they had previously employed. In addition to following up to see how the ice cream they also offered me water while I was sitting at their outside tables. The organic soft serve was quite a treat, and I will be back for another one. Thanks for getting rid of the bratty teenage counter people, their manor was truly a turnoff especially to my diabetic wife who could not eat the larger standard portions and simply asked for less and in turn was treated like she had asked them to turn summersaults. Nothing curdles ice cream like sour demeanors. We will be back!
(5)Scott R.
Tiana is the sweetest girl and she is there every time I go. Not only does she serve amazing ice cream you also get the best customer service experience. She's so enthusiastic about this amazing ice cream that it makes you want to come back to eat more. Good thing I have some discipline. Her and the other nice gal that work Sunday nights always take care of me, Tianna is my favorite. Amazing soft serve with and angelic smile!

How difficult is it to order a small chocolate cone? Apparently very difficult. ...it took 15 minutes and there was no line or no one else except my daughter and I. A small place where you order from a window off of 1st Street and Scottsdale Road. So I order a small chocolate cone, did I say cone and a small chocolate shake. After waiting for 10 minutes my daughter and I sit down to wait and then after another 5 more minutes the girl brings out a chocolate ice cream in a CUP!!! Granted it was more in ice cream quantity than a cone but I ordered a cone and just mainly wanted to taste. I asked her is this the cone and she said she would give me a cone with the cup. I just said no. And by the way 5 minutes later the shake wad done. The soft serve ice cream was nothing special. I definitely hit the wrong time to try out this place and for the price would definitely not come here again. Do yourself a favor and get into your car and go to Sugar Bowl down the street or go to Churn or Cold Stone and don't waste your time and money.

Remember Nutty Buddies/Drumsticks/those things? Imagine a made-to-order rendition, mostly organic, not irreparably freezer burned in a 94-pack from Costco (ah, the summers of my youth...) You can totally get that at Shakes & Cones, but I have no idea what it tastes like. That was the plan, but then we sat down with a "Vanutzel - Nutella, chocolate pretzels, vanilla soft serve - 12 oz." (watching the figure, obviously.) And "Also, the Texas chocolate sheet cake with swirl soft serve ice cream and peanuts and whipped cream, add chocolate pretzels." Highlights: happy family-run (mom's due in two weeks!), fragrant vanilla soft serve, salty chocolate pretzels, peanuts, organic whipped cream, rewards card to fuel the addiction. I could've done without the super sugary sheet cake and the chocolate soft serve, but didn't do without, and ate all of it. So yeah. I'll get to the Nutty Buddy Renaissance eventually... until then, I may have lost my Cakes & Shame privileges.

We just finished up lunch and we were looking for some dessert. Stumbled on this cute place that had soft serve! Score! Ice Cream: The soft serve was pretty good. Very rich and creamy. There were little chunks of white stuff in our vanilla cone. We thought it might be chunks of vanilla? No idea. It will remain a mystery. Soft serve (small run you 3.95) can be ordered in a regular cone (no sugar cones available) or cup. You could order a waffle cone but for some extra mula. Oh, did I mention this place serves organic soft serve? Service: The lady who helped us was nice. It was her first day working alone so she seemed very scattered. Ambience: You order your ice cream from the window. You can't enter their shop. Instead, you enjoy your cone on a few chairs and tables right in front.
(4)Patrick T.
Great new little Ice Cream shop in the Scottsdale Old Town area! We were walking around on vacation and Ashley had the hankering for a cone! We decided to check this place out! Glad we did! The owners greeted us with a smile and told us they had been open about a month now! I asked if they had Vegan Ice cream, and No dice on that so I got a 32 ounce ROOT BEER, It ruled! They offered to top it off before I left as well! Very Nice of them! Ashley enjoyed a organic vanilla ice cream cone, and she thought it was fantastic! A perfect lazy Sunday afternoon treat while on Vacation! Glad we stopped by Shakes and Cones! Should be renamed Shakes, Cones, and SMILES!
(5)Steven Z.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for shakes and cones! If you are ever in the mood for ice cream in the Scottsdale area, you must try this place out! Don't be afraid of the word "organic" on the sign. After one lick you will wonder where this stuff has been your whole life. Great, staff, great owners and best of all great ice cream!
(5)Brad W.
Back to try the ice cream again after receiving some coupons due to my last review. Seems like they changed the soft serve - it appears more creamy now, but still tastes fine. I do believe though that I was overcharged for my addition of sprinkles. Pretty sure the menu says 75 cents extra, but my sprinkles tab was 97 cents. Maybe the third time will be the charm at this place.
(3)Libby H.
I've been excited to check out shakes & cones since I saw the sign go up in their little order window last fall. I love their concept of locally-owned and operated, non-GMO, organic ice cream, I love the location and the feel and we had a good experience when we visited. The thing is, it's pretty standard ice cream. I love a good twist ice cream, so I got a small twist in a bowl. I liked it, but for me it wasn't something so amazing that it would make me pick them over another dessert stop. My husband had a strawberry shake and it was delightful, but again, nothing that set it apart from the competition. If you're walking by and thinking ice cream, it will fit the bill.
(3)Jennifer S.
Cute little place to order ice cream from the window in Old Town Scottsdale. We stopped by one night on the way back to our hotel from dinner and really enjoyed - simple, but tasty.
(4)Jen M.
This is the perfect little ice cream stand to hit up after a nice dinner on a summer evening. They offer up all organic soft serve ice cream with all the delectable mix ins you could want. They are price compatible with cold stone but you get much better quality ingredients. The gluten free waffle cones are fresh & smell divine. The ice cream itself is nothing short of perfect. It doesn't take some time to get your order bec there are usually only two people working but IT IS worth the wait! They have a little patio area and cooling misters to help beat the heat while you wait! Last night I got the small BCG shake with Nutella mixed in, and it was absolute heavenly! The organic ingredients truly make all the difference in the world! This place is literally walking distance from my home so I have a feeling I'll be back soon!
(4)Kevin W.
Yummy soft serve certified organic non GMO KOSHER and Gluten free. I had the strawberry shake. It was really good. All seating is outdoors and shaded.
(4)Stephen H.
Excellent soft serve ice cream, and it is organic! Choice of cups or cones. Lots of other items on the menu as well
(5)Nandini M.
What a cute little soft serve place right in old town Scottsdale. I got the twist with sprinkles and it was delicious. I like that they make their waffle cones in house. You can really taste the difference! It is a little pricey and there is only outdoor seating, but still a great stop for a sweet treat.
(4)Mariam A.
I really could taste the difference between regular soft serve and this organic soft serve!! Girl in the front was super nice!
(4)George A.
We are from Nashville and some friends recommend this place. We have been a few times. Absolutely love the quality of the soft serve. Tastes amazing and is the best for you anywhere around. Staff has always been friendly even when my kids are in a hurry for their ice cream. Got several things including the Zoe's cake with vanilla and hot fudge. The caramel sauce is a top brand that is better than any I have tried. We are repeat customers and we can see why so many other people are too. Definitely a place to go in Scottsdale.
(5)Ali B.
Was majorly craving some ice cream last night, and wanted to try some place different, then I had remembered this place that I had bookmarked on Yelp! The words "non-gmo" and "organic" in combination with ice cream is always a good sign. Even though you know it is still not healthy, its not quite as bad, right? Was surprised to see it was just like a little stop at the counter outside kind of place, but I liked that. I would have liked to see more seating though, there were only like six chairs and two or three tables when I went. Our cashier was nice, he was obviously being trained, but did a good job, he made sure to double check he had everything right which was nice. I ordered a small twist cone with sprinkles. Swirl ice cream is a childhood favorite of mine, and they didn't mess it up! Sometimes soft serve ends up too icy, like either the flavor or consistency is off, but this soft serve was smooth and tasted good. There were way too many sprinkles on my cone for my liking though. Not that it was awful, but I do not think I would get sprinkles next time. My friend got a vanilla ice cream blended with peanut butter. I did not like it much, the peanut butter was overpowering for my taste, but he loved it. Ate a large at warp speed haha. I would love to come back when it starts to heat up, try some other things on the menu!Like that one with Nutella and pretzels, I've got to try that!
(4)Cassandra G.
The young girls at the counter are bitchy but really good ice cream so I keep going back.
(4)Kelsey W.
We wandered over here after dinner next door at Bootleggers and it was the perfect sweet treat! I live in this area so I was surprised I had never heard of it.. So here I am writing this review, in the hopes that other people will discover and try it! Shakes & Cones is a super-cute, window-style stand with many different types of ice cream desserts! It was creamy, smooth, and delicious. I got chocolate/vanilla swirl with Nutella and cookie dough added (..sweet tooth is an understatement), and my sister got the Vanutzel - a vanilla/Nutella shake with chocolate covered pretzels mixed in. My brother loved his order too, keeping it simple with a cone of vanilla! Definitely check this place out! Oh and they have a free loyalty program so don't forget to join before you leave.. We are definitely rackin' up dollars towards free treats! ;)
(5)Derek K.
Best Ice-Cream in town. HANDS DOWN! Just go and find out for yourself. It won't disappoint. Great, friendly ownership too :).
(5)Ashley P.
So, okay. I had soft serve frozen yogurt. Just a swirl, small size, nothing fancy. I can't imagine why this place gets 5 stars. I was unable to locate anything special about it. We came after eating dinner down the street after finding it on Yelp, and after seeing the reviews, expected to be blown away. My husband got the blended froyo with m&ms. Again, the froyo base is the same so nothing special. Yes it was creamy, but an average soft serve to me. Seating sucks, and I don't like to walk while I eat my dessert since I can't concentrate on it. But it's just an ice cream, not too expensive (relatively), so not much harm if you do decide to try it.
(3)Fred W.
Just visited Shakes & Cones today for the first time and had one of their specialty shakes - AMAZINGLY GOOD! I think these guys just opened up this weekend as their full menu wasn't quite available but now I have even more options to look forward to on my next visit. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
(5)Richard C.
My wife and I found this place as we were leaving the farmers market one Saturday, and what a treat it turned out to be. I used to think soft serve ice cream was all the same, but Shakes & Cones takes it to a whole new level. I ordered the BCG (bananas, caramel, and graham crackers) which was fantastic - fresh banana makes SUCH a difference in a dessert. It was just the right amount of sweet and incredibly refreshing. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Old Town, especially with the weather heating up.
(5)Carolyn C.
I came here right around it first opened with my mom back in Sept 2014. I have loved it ever since. It tastes exactly how ice cream should taste... refreshingly sweet. The owners (what I assume are the owners) are the NICEST people. Everyone that's I've seen there is always super friendly. I've had the shakes but I prefer the classic cone with swirl ice cream.
(5)Jesse F.
Had the CBG (caramel,banana,graham cracker) all organic. Some of the best ice cream I've ever had! Now I know why they have rewards system...you will be back!!
(5)Scott F.
Went there and for some reason they couldnt put my mint C.C. ice cream in a cone just in a cup. Why? So i got something else and its just over priced cold crap.
(1)Tim B.
In Scottsdale for the weekend and found this awesome spot!! All the way from SF and really like this ice cream. From simple cone to chocolate peanut butter shake. Wow!
(5)Travis B.
Pretty standard as far as soft serve ice cream goes. I mean, who loves soft serve? It's always pretty good, but not better than legit ice cream. So your going to be satisfied if your in the mood for something cold and sweet. They are a little heavy handed on the salt in the Salted Caramel shake so ask for a little less salt than normal if not into it being really salty!
(4)Sydney D.
Thanks so much for bringing amazing chocolate soft serve to Old Town...Dairy Queen will be missing me. Ben and I have been raving about your yummy treats and excellent service (Hi Max!) since we stopped in last Friday. We'll be seeing you again soon!
(5)Patrick H.
I like to grab a soft serve swirl cone at this place when I'm in the area. You order at the counter that faces the sidewalk and then they get your order to you. The cashier chick has always been very friendly. Prices are a little higher than other places because they use organic non-gmo ingredients.
(3)Hello A.
I can't believe the lies that the owner is telling us. As what other reviewers have said time and time again there is nothing "organic" about serving m&m's and butterfingers. The owner needs to step away from yelp and stop posting responses. It makes him look really, really, really bad
(1)Katelyn W.
Love, love, love this place! Everything is delicious. And the owners are super friendly. Definitely a must try!
(5)Jinger F.
My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this gem of a ice cream shop after dinner. What perfect after dinner desert options this place has to offer. We had the privilege of getting served by the owners. They were very personable and knowledgable. What a great concept, non-GMO, Organic deliciousness. Come out and support this local, organic and conscious shop. You will surly enjoy every bite.
(5)David G.
Awesomely natural and gluten free. Great toppings and smooth soft serve. Loved it. Super nice owners, husband and wife team. Clean, nice outdoor seating right in front. Reminds me of Super Duper in Bay Area but ice cream is better!
(5)Cathy V.
Went again. This time I ordered the nutty buddy. Seriously delish. The sweet salty combo is wonderful. Just the right amount of hot fudge and peanuts. The whipped cream was the best ever...they make it onsite. This really is the best ice cream.
(5)Dustin S.
Great concept, awesome shake/blizzard thing ever! I had a oreo vanilla mix. Very pleasant staff.
(5)Kayla T.
I am from New York, so of course I am extremely picky when it comes to food. Moving out here was somewhat of a culture shock, mainly because I couldn't find any soft serve ice cream! I've been on a search for months to find decent ice cream out here in the desert. On my way out to dinner in Scottsdale, my hubby (from Tennessee, didn't know what all the hype over soft serve was) saw the sign for shakes and cones soft serve. I already thought, it must be frozen yogurt but we gave it a try anyways. A man told us they weren't open yet but if we stop by later and they get a machine running, they'll let us sample it. I obviously returned, eager to taste this organic ice cream. I wasn't sure what to expect but WOW! It was delicious. Very close to a carvel taste. It is creamy and you can taste how fresh it really is! My man finally understands why I can't just settle with dairy queen!! Not only is their ice cream amazing.. But my hubby and I stuck around and conversed with the owners a little and they are awesome. :) I will definitely be taking the 30 min drive out to Scottsdale regularly to have my fix of soft serve ice cream as soon as they open! I'm super excited :D
(5)Kari C.
Sweet sweet soft serve. Family night out in old town ended with this amazing new shop. Tons of choices, really fun staff and locally owned by siblings and their significant others who grew up in Glendale! It's always fun supporting local business, but this really is all my pleasure... so GOOD!!!
(5)Lindsey Q.
Greatest place to get ice cream EVER! Go for the Vanutzel, it'll change your ice cream life.
(5)TC U.
I'm not interested in burying the hopes and dreams of a restaurateur, but this places SUCKS! I can't recall the last time I threw away an ice cream cone after 30 seconds. Small twist cone for $4 plus a $1 tip to the really excited staff (NOT). Bland, bitter, not enjoyable, abject flavors.....need I carry on. The fact I'm actually posting something regarding an ice cream cone should tell you all you need to know. It's organic alright......like dung!!!!
(1)G C.
love that we can step out of house and buy organic sweets at an ice cream walk up in the summer!!!!!
(5)Elika R.
Absolutely love this place. Always hits the spot, whether I'm ordering a swirl or dipped cone.
(5)Arnie L.
I've been going to Shakes & Cones since the day they opened. The soft ice cream is great!!! It's organic and does not have the hormones, antibiotics and other crud that is in most other ice cream. The owner is very friendly and the staff is as well. Unlike some other reviews, the wait time is never too long.
(5)Jenna V.
Great service--one of the friendly owners came out and chatted with us, great quality and delicious soft serve and waffle cones (with surprise chocolate chips at the bottom!). We came out from gilbert to try it and will continue to get our soft serve from here! We will just avoid going between 12-5pm as the summer is way too hot to stand outside (I devoured my ice cream because it was good but also because it was melting fast). They don't have indoor seating but they do have water misters if the heat doesn't bother you.
(4)Tyler V.
I went to Shakes and Cones in old town Scottsdale about a week ago and it was fantastic! I tried the Vanutzel with Nutella, soft serve, and chopped chocolate covered pretzels and it was extremely tasty. My family had tried a number of other items and they all were delicious, it is definitely a spot to stop for. With most everything being organic you can feel less guilty about getting a sweet concoction. Another factor that puts Shakes and Cones over the top is it is a local business with friendly staff and a happy atmosphere. If you are in Scottsdale or even the Phoenix area Shakes and Cones is a definite spot to visit!
(5)Eric S.
Wonderful, friendly and ORGANIC! shakes, soft service and unusual ice cream concoctions. A no brainer place to stop for something sweet. Plenty of parking just next door too. Luv it!
(5)Jessica P.
So great! Love this new cute little walk up place. We had a swirl cone, dipped cone & a root beer float. All delicious! A fun new little treat in old town!
(5)Sammy G.
I don't know about the organic stuff, but the incredible, custard like soft serve ice cream is terrific. Really, really nice folks too. I'll be back!!
(5)Kathleen B.
This place is fantastic! Organic soft-serve ice cream!! I had the vanilla shake and my husband added organic peanut butter to his. Both were amazing!
(5)Matt R.
The Oreo Shake is great. I've been thinking about it all week. I'll certainly be heading back for more!
(5)Ginnifer H.
Shakes & Cones is the only soft serve I will ever go to again!!! With not only the friendly and inviting staff, the business is LOCALLY OWENED & OPERATED. Shakes & Cones is making a name for itself in Scottsdale and will be the place to go for all of us around the valley. If you want a product that is tasteful and still healthier than most, Shakes & Cones is the place to try. Once you have tried Shakes & Cones I know you will be addicted and you will make the effort to visit over and over again. Thank you Shakes & Cones for bring a healthy alternative into a family love. Please visit Shakes & Cones soon!!!!!!
(5)Brian W.
When I dropped my wife off to get her hair done, I had a few hours to burn in old town Scottsdale and I stumbled upon this place. Pretty unique to have a walk-up window, so I liked that about it right off the bat. The guy who was running the register was super nice and friendly, so we talked for a quite while about life. The soft serve was very good and really smooth, so I was surprised to see that it was organic as well. I got a coffee/Heath bar shake, which was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted. I'll definitely be going here more often; I might even take my wife with me next time :)
(5)S B.
Extremely simple walk up ice cream, shake, and coffee place. Their ice cream is amazing and the service is great. We had a vanilla blend in with brownie and it's better than 90 percent of the ice cream places I've tried. Price is very reasonable for scottsdale. .
(5)Charlotte G.
Deeeelicious! My better half and I were visiting Phoenix for the day and I got a craving for some soft serve (92 degrees in May will do that to you). I found this little gem on Yelp and we drove on over. My standard ice cream go-to is a twist with rainbow sprinkles (or "jimmies" if you're from New England), but the sprinkles shipment hadn't come in yet... Good thing there were so many other delicious options available! I ended up with vanilla in a waffle bowl with cookie dough, heath bar and Oreos mixed in (Blizzard-style). Girl's gotta splurge sometimes! They were extremely generous with the toppings and the combo was fabulous, especially in the fresh edible bowl. The BF got the banana/graham cracker item on the menu and it was incredible too. And the best part is, it's all organic! So as you drive off stuffed full of sugar and creamy goodness, you can give yourself props for making the "healthy choice." ;)
(5)Casey G.
We had a great Oreo and Peanut Butter shake. The owner - Max - was great also. The ice cream was high quality and we will definitely stop again the next time we are in old town.
(5)Julie J.
Love this place. Total find... And where I take everyone visiting. Best ice cream in Phoenix. :)
(5)Eddie F.
Been here before and loved the place. Anytime I'm on this part of town I always make sure to stop in. I don't know if I love it more than my wife loves this place but it's definitely a go to. Wish they opened earlier so we can indulge in the goodness they have to offer.
(5)Megan D.
New favorite ice cream place for our family! We have been twice, and both times have been fantastic!! We've tried the shakes, dipped cones, blend-ins and the coffee drinks...yum, yum, yum!! My kids love it, and there are so many options to make everyone happy!! The employees are friendly and happy to help! We will def be recommending this place to friends!
(5)Victoria P.
My husband and I live down the street and have walked here several times. We've tried a few different items; root beer float (they have a line of organic sodas), sundaes, shakes & cones. The shakes are not your typical, suck through a straw, variety. They are thick and delicious. The chocolate is great. Think Wendy's Frosty, but way better. My only complaint is that a cup & cone are the same price, but you don't get as much with the cone.
(4)C D.
The soft serve is sooo yummy I just wish the other ingredients/options were organic as well. I also don't like the fact that they serve their organic product in a styrofoam cup with a plastic spoon... Get some cute biodegradable packaging and more organic options. Over all the concept is great just needs some tweaking.
(4)Emily R.
Best soft serve ever!! Bonus: all organic, non-gmo ingredients, so i didn't feel too guilty indulging in the hot fudge sundae!! I highly recommend Shakes & Cones to satisfy your sweet tooth. You will not be disappointed!
(5)Tamera Z.
Have visited Shakes and Cones a few times now, and have found my particular favorite is the Affogato, a coffee float. It is terrific and made particularly great because of the certified organic soft serve and organic espresso. Now, by no means am I a foodie, but I am kind of surprised at how harsh some of the reviewers are being. Nowhere did I find anything in print or on their signage that said that EVERYTHING in their place is 100% organic, nor did I find the people working their to be rude or unethical. After reading one of those reviews, I looked and asked, just to be sure- I have been served by different people at different times and have found their customer service outstanding. Thanks for adding a bit of sweetness to Old Town Scottsdale...am telling everyone I know about you - and that's A LOT of folks.
(5)Katelyn S.
My friend and I were at a sushi restaurant next door and we walked by Shakes & Cones afterwards.. We met the owners, who were awesome, and we tried some of their soft serve ice cream - it was bomb!!! They told us it's organic too which means it's healthy :) I will for sure be back soon!
(5)Diana L.
There is finally a soft serve place in the phoenix metro worth mentioning! Ice cream is so simple and delectable on top of being organic. The place is owned by a very nice young couple. Service is quick and friendly.
(5)Ashley D.
Saw this place walking to dinner and knew we had to stop back after dinner. We are so happy we did. This place an out doors and so cute, the staff is friendly, and best of all the ice cream is amazing! Every time I'm in old town I'll have to stop by!
(5)Brenna H.
Cute walk up window. Great location. Delicious soft serve ice cream. I'll definitely be back, I have my next 2 orders already planned. I love local businesses and hope this one sticks around!

Delicious organic yogurt with a great selection of yummy toppings. I recommend the Zoe's Cake Dish -- a perfect treat! Check out Shakes and Cones. You will definitely come back for more.

Visited Shakes and Cones for a yummy treat after lunch and loved it! The chocolate soft serve was creamy, smooth, and so delicious. It reminded me of the soft serve you can get back east, which I have missed. So needless to say, I am thrilled to have this wonderful soft server shop nearby. I will be visiting as often as I can.
