Favorite Spots (For a Cool Treat!)

I have a confession - I'm not a fan of ice cream. Very rarely, it will look decent enough to steal a bite of someone else's dessert, but it's not something I crave or order. That doesn't mean I don't like my own sweet treats to stay cool in the hot summer months. Here are my go-to goodies for a keep-me-cool treat:

Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade
Multiple Valley Locations
There's nothing more summery than a glass of lemonade and Wow Wow's Lavender Blackberry is my favorite.

Breezy Pop
Natural Freeze Pops
Check Their Social Media for Farmer's Market Locations
The best way to keep cool at the Downtown Phoenix, Uptown Phoenix, and Gilbert Farmer's Markets. Not only are the pops packaged in a nostalgic tube, but they are way tastier than the ones you ate as a kid. (And with all-natural ingredients!)

Mahalo Made
Shaved Ice
Check Their Social Media for Food Truck Locations and Daily Flavors
Lady La is a Phoenix radio icon, but she's also made a name for herself in the food realm. Her food truck Mahalo Made has become a popular hotspot, usually parked around Indian School and 20th St. The Guava is out of this world!

Churn
Sorbet
5550 E Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012
I may not like ice cream, but I do love sorbet. Churn's flavors are in constant rotation, but my favorite is their Sparkling Elderflower Sorbet.

R&R Gastropub
Frozé
3737 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
When you brunch here in the summer months, skip the bottomless mimosas (gasp!) and get the Frozé. But still get the cinnamon roll the size of your head.
