There's nothing quite as nostalgic as an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, and Mary Coyle Ol' Fashion Ice Cream has stood the test of time. This Phoenix institution dishes out some of the best ice cream in Arizona, with over two dozen delicious flavors to choose from. Whether you prefer a cone, sundae, milkshake, or banana split, this iconic joint will make you feel like a kid again.

In a city as big as Phoenix, you don't have to search far or wide to find good ice cream - but nothing compares to time-tested shops that have been around for decades.

Mary Coyle Ol’ Fashion Ice Cream is woven into the very fabric that makes up the Valley. Although the store has a new location on North Central Avenue, it still dishes out the same tried-and-true that stole the hearts of locals over half a century ago.

Upon stepping inside and seeing the black-and-white checkered floors and vintage décor, you'll be instantly transported straight back to the retro age.

All of the ice cream is made on-site. Considering there are over two dozen flavors to choose from (including several rotating seasonal offerings), that is quite an impressive claim to fame.

Whether you prefer to keep it classic with vanilla or chocolate or want to try something new like black licorice (don't knock it 'til you try it!) there's a flavor for everyone to savor at Mary Coyle.

If you're looking to up the nostalgia even further, opt for a traditional banana split. Topped with all the usual suspects (pineapple, fudge, and strawberry sauces, whipped cream, cherries, and peanuts), this age-old dessert is the ultimate throwback.

Sundaes can either be kept simple with your choice of one topping, or taken to a whole new level with the shop's signature Showboats. Flavors range from turtle to tin roof to peppermint, smothered in toppings and promising love at first bite.

Also on the menu are Banana Bowls, which come in several different flavors and boast fresh banana slices along with other decadent add-ons.

Your taste buds will party like it's 1950 when you order an old-fashioned milkshake, float, or malt (garnished with whipped cream and a cherry, of course.)

Other offerings include cups and cones, cookie sundaes and ice cream sandwiches, ice cream flights, and massive sundaes if you're feeding a crowd.
