This Retro Ice Cream Parlor Has Been Doling Out The Best Sundaes In Arizona Since 1958
The world is more fast-paced than ever, and we often find ourselves longing for simpler times. If you share that mindset, come slide into a pink leather booth at The Sugar Bowl, a retro ice cream parlor in Arizona. Open since 1958, this Scottsdale icon has been scooping the best sundaes around for over 60 years. If you’re in the mood for a strong dose of nostalgia and a sweet treat, The Sugar Bowl is the place to be!
Travel back to the days of sock hops and poodle skirts when you visit The Sugar Bowl, a retro ice cream parlor in Arizona.
Between the checkered floors, pink leather booths and bar stools, and vintage lamps hanging over each table, it's a little slice of the '50s in the 21st century.
Will you slide into a booth, or grab a seat at the counter?
From the vintage newspaper comic - designed by a local artist, might we add - and the whimsical poem telling the Sugar Bowl story, it'll make you feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside.
When it comes time to order, you'll encounter quite a dilemma.
This classic childhood dessert never goes out of style, and it's worth revisiting if you haven't enjoyed one recently. The whipped cream and cherry on top are non-negotiable, by the way.
If you're feeling indecisive, it's impossible to go wrong with a simple scoop (or two) of your favorite flavor.
From strawberry to mint chip and everything in between, rest assured your favorite has a rightful spot on the menu.
Hours are 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Sunday-Thursday, and 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Friday & Saturday. Visit the ice cream parlor’s Facebook page for more information.
