Melt Ice Cream Shop — Restaurant in Phoenix

Long review warning

It was hard to find definitely not where the map suggests that it is. It’s inside the Jobot coffee shop at least on late nights.

They serve all their ice cream in Chinese/Asian Togo containers. Looks quirky and unique and they also included a fortune cookie.

The mangonada was pretty good. The young lady behind the counter didn’t ask which size I wanted and just started the fill the container with chamoy and mango ice cream. Like 9 bucks for it worth it once to try but not get again.

The negative part of this review is what my girlfriend got. She got the Vienna coffee ice cream but affogato style which is coffee/espresso poured on ice cream. So you’d think serving hot coffee over ice cream would be something you’d serve in a container that is meant to hold liquid or something hot.

Nope. They put a little scoop of ice cream in a little paper Togo container then put in under the espresso machine and poured hot coffee in it. They gave it to her with no napkin or sleeve and within a minute it was leaking everywhere including her hands. And to top it off being served idiotically they still including a fortune cookie in the liquid ice cream/coffee mixture so it just become soggy and made the fortune unreadable. Also it was like 6 dollars to realize you made the poor choice to get your ice cream there.

God forbid the ice cream shop INSIDE a coffee shop would serve their hot coffee and ice cream combo in an actual coffee cups. They sacrificed common sense to be quirky/unique and did it for the gram.

This definitely falls into...

Sorry Melt! I don't usually like to leave negative reviews, I really was hoping to be wowed- and for the price- I should have been! It was just under $20 for 2 large ice creams!!! I got 3 different scoops: mango sorbet, banana nut & vegan chocolate. The mango sorbet was the best out of all 3 and even that one had very little flavor- it tasted a little like an unripe mango. My daughter said the chocolate burned her mouth and when I tasted it I knew why- they loaded it with cinnamon!!! It wasn't called Mexican hot chocolate- just vegan chocolate. Neither of us finished them- dumped them & left. On a positive note, if you're looking for a crafty draft beer or a hip social spot this place is it- it was hopping on a...

Ice cream was rather mediocre. I feel like people probably come here for the novelty of the Chinese takeout box container and a fortune cookie on top. There also aren't that many flavors to choose from.

Blackberry Merlot had a strong Merlot flavor for sure, but the blackberry part wasn't that great. I know it's an alcohol ice cream, but it was still more melty than I expected. Rather underwhelming and too sweet by the...
