For more than 90 years, Petersen’s Old-Fashioned Ice Cream has been churning out finger-lickin’-good scoops.

Scottsdale’s Sweet Republic is a local fave due to its one-of-a-kind flavors and use of local ingredients, including milk and cream from an Arizona dairy farm. Salted butter caramel, hot chocolate, basil-lime sorbet and cabernet pear are tops. http://sweetrepublic.com/.
Since 1958, Sugar Bowl in Scottsdale has been a family-friendly favorite for towering sundaes, shakes, splits, parfaits, floats, Camelback sodas and much more. The Top Hat sundae is a real treat, while a Coffee Cafe float is a yummy for Mom and Dad. http://www.sugarbowlscottsdale.com/.
