Melt Ice Cream: sweet treats with a twist

Melt Ice Cream understands that the same old scoops of vanilla and chocolate can get pretty boring. That is why they have mastered serving up interesting flavors in an even more unique way.

Located on 910 N 5th St. in Downtown Phoenix, Melt Ice Cream is just as good as it appears. In an arts district neighborhood of Roosevelt Row, this zany dessert spot can be found in a tiny pink house topped with twinkly lights and a neon open sign. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a friendly worker and an array of rainbow frozen goodness.

With nearly 25 options, this late night ice cream spot has some of the most unique flavors. My personal favorite is blueberry muffin, but they also serve up delicious oatmeal creme pie, thai tea, blue cookie monster, lucky charms and various scoops of sorbet to their satisfied customers.

But that is not all, Melt Ice Cream serves their cold desserts in a cute chinese takeout box with a sweet fortune cookie placed on top. If you don’t like your fortune, you can always trade it out for another one in their fortune bowl.

Priced at $3.75 for a single scoop, you’ll receive a filling amount of ice cream. However, if you’re hungry for more, try their homemade waffle cones and waffle cone bowls! Their endless variety comes from only quality ingredients, as they use local farms to produce their flavors. Once you choose your sweet treat, maybe even invest in one of their fun stickers or a few pieces of candy. With their fun patio and outdoor seating, you can comfortably spend time savoring your delicious ice cream with friends, just make sure it doesn’t melt!
