Cucara Macara - Phoenix

They made it through covid and still making amazing ice cream in unique fruit flavors I got guanabana, cereza today. Friendly and personable, it was a pleasure to stop by again

Queso fresco ice cream? Wow, I've been passing by this place for over a year, and I finally decided to stop by after work to check it out. I'm not sure if I should be happy I did or worried, since having such delicious ice cream so close to home could spell trouble. The exterior might look small and unassuming, but inside, it's actually quite spacious with some seating available. The woman who greeted me was incredibly friendly and attentive. I sampled four different flavors before settling on dulce de leche and pistachio. She shared that her mom makes the ice cream, and it was absolutely delightful—locally made and definitely worth it. I really appreciate small businesses like this one, and I will definitely be returning!

In summary: it was overly sweet with little taste. My wife and I both ordered the coffee flavor in waffle cones, which turned out to be a disappointment. We can't tell if this is the norm or just a one-off. It tasted like a cup of drip coffee that was oversaturated with milk and sugar. To make matters worse, the waffle cone lacked the rich flavor and satisfying texture I usually expect. Instead, it had an awkward taste and feel that was somewhere between a waffle cone and a wafer cone.

10/10! They didn't have my ice cream flavor available, so they offered me new options to try! ❤️

Incredible ice cream! Everything is crafted from fresh ingredients, and they are always trying out new flavors, so the selection changes frequently. However, everything is absolutely delicious! I tried the passion fruit and blackberry flavors, and they were fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the shop has a charming atmosphere. I'm so glad we discovered this gem!
