Scoop, there it is: Classic Chandler ice cream and custard

The Screamery

A top contender for ice cream in Downtown Chandler, The Screamery is the place to go if you’re serious about your frozen treats. That’s because they make everything in small batches using hormone-free milk, pasteurized on-site. Flavors like Sweet Cream Honeycomb and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake aren’t just delicious, they’re borderline addictive.

Bruster’s Real Ice Cream

This place is a staple for a reason. Rich, creamy and made fresh daily, Bruster’s keeps it simple and satisfying. Their waffle cones? Baked in-house and worth every single calorie. When it comes to the best Chandler summer treats, Bruster’s is hard to beat.

MilkShake Factory

Straight from the East Coast, this South Chandler MilkShake Factory brings an assortment of handspun milkshakes that are oh-so dreamy. Try the signature Chocolate Dipped Strawberry shakes the gourmet Salted Caramel Pretzel. They’re all your sweet tooth could ever want.

SomiSomi

Korean dessert fans, this one’s for you. SomiSomi is famous for ah-boong, soft-serve ice cream swirled into fish-shaped cones. Pick your flavor (ube, matcha, milk, black sesame, the list goes on and on) and stack on toppings from rainbow sprinkles to Oreo crumbs.

Snowtime

What do you get when you combine a taiyaki (fish-shaped cone) with creamy soft-serve ice cream and colorful, yummy toppings? The perfect dessert photo opp. Walking into Snowtime is like entering dessert paradise. It’s also a top spot for Chandler shaved ice and other playful treats.

Soft serve meets warm churros and it’s as dreamy as it sounds. The mix of hot and cold hits all the right notes and lands this churro café on the list of best Chandler summer treats.

BelAfia

There's something for everyone with a blend of three international cuisines served at BelAfia. In addition to the Indian, Persian, and Mediterranean fusion food, this unique little cafe offers both vegan and organic ice creams that can be customized to include all of your favorite toppings for something cool and delicious.

Shave it off: Shaved ice and Italian ice
