Reviews for Sugar Bowl in Scottsdale, AZ
This is such an iconic ice cream parlor. They serve regular food but the ice cream treats are where it?s at. Going back almost... 70 years and featured in the Family Circus cartoons this reminds you of an authentic ice cream parlor because it is. You canorder on the menu or create your own. The staff is eager to give specialty recommendations. Fantastic spot to get away from theheat! Read more
The Sugar Bowl is like stepping back in time to the nostalgic 1950?s! I love the original decorating of pink chairs and booths!... And, having a sweet tooth, I loved that 75% of the menu is desserts! Our waiter took our order quickly and we received our foodvery quickly. I loved my sundae and everyone in my party loved their sandwiches and sundaes/floats! Attached to the Sugar Bowlis an old fashioned arcade where families were playing games. I would recommend going to the Sugar Bowl if you are in the OldScottsdale area for sure?don?t miss this gem! It?s like definitely a must see (and taste)! Read more
This is much more than an old fashioned ice cream shop! My friend recommended the Sugar Bowl for lunch since we were in Old... Town Scottsdale. She's been coming here since her children were little and she raved about the ice cream. Hmmm... But Iwanted lunch! The Sugar Bowl does not disappoint! They have very hearty portions and delicious food. Looking on the menu wefound burgers and sandwiches, salads and potato salad. No fries. But, even better, homemade potato chips! On the table is adaily special card. Today's special (for $10.50) was a spinach and bacon quiche with fruit. Sounded promising and the price wasright. This was a more-than-generous sized slice of quiche covered with thick layer of melted cheddar and at least a cup ofmixed melons and grapes. Surprise! It came with dessert: a two-layer small portion of banana-nut bread, spread with a creamcheese frosting between. It was a delicious and very satisfying lunch. This is a very family-friendly place -- there's even aseparate game room for kids. I was so full I had to take the banana bread home! Read more
Great place for a sweet treat. Friendly staff and a clean place overall. Cute nostalgic styling. They have every kind of banana... split you can think of OR you can create your own if you like. It reminds me of a old soda shop. Service was fast andattentive. I would definitely eat here again. ???? Read more
Nice little ice cream shop in downtown Scotsdale. There is nice atmosphere here of an old time ice cream shop. The items we got... were good but by the time they all came out half of them were starting to melt. It might be better to bring them out as they arefinished. It was worth the experience. Read more
It?s truly a shame that this adorable restaurant has such low quality food. The nut bread was partially frozen and the pineapple... cream cheese filling was very bland. I could not taste the pineapple at all. The tea sandwich plate was disappointing. The threesandwiches were made on regular bread that mad been cut into quarters. The fillings were dry, bland and flavorless. A teasandwich should be a tasty little morsel on a special bread. The ice cream and toppings were nothing special either. The serverwas not great either. On the plus side, this pink restaurant has such a cute ambiance. If you only care about ambiance and don?tcare about being served sub par food, this place is for you! Bathroom was not cared for and had peeling wall paper. Thisrestaurant must be surviving on tourist traffic. The outside is painted bubblegum pink and it very noticeable, so it probablydraws tourists. Overall, very very disappointing. Read more
Sugar Bowl is such a fun place to have lunch and ICE CREAM OF COURSE. I had the California grilled chicken sandwich and my... daughter had the grilled cheese. We also shared a scoop of cookies and cream with a brownie and hot fudge. The ice cream is soflavorful and creamy. Pints are about $5.50. The flavor of the month in December is peppermint - it's pink ice cream with greenand red flecks of candy cane peppermint. Yum! The diner decor is completely charming; it opened in 1958 on Christmas Eve. Theservice was great and they were very attentive to our group of 10. We were able to make a reservation in the back room andenjoyed our time together. Go check it out! Read more
The icecream tastes really good and their banana sundae is delicious. I customized it with cashew toppings which went... well. Family friendly and a great place for kids as they have got a separate game room for them. Read more
