It’s late June in the Valley, and it’s hot! What better way to cool off than to take a scenic in-town drive with your PCA friends topped with ice cream at the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale?
The Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor/Restaurant has been a beloved establishment since its opening on Christmas Eve in 1958 by founder Jack Huntress. It was the first family-friendly restaurant in Scottsdale, filling a niche for a place where families could dine together. The restaurant has retained its authentic 1950s soda fountain ambiance and offers a menu of American food and delectable ice cream treats. The Sugar Bowl’s pink building has become a Scottsdale landmark, drawing locals and tourists to experience its nostalgic charm.
The 45-minute drive will start in the Arizona Biltmore area, then wind up the side of Camelback Mountain with great views of the Valley before arriving in Old Town Scottsdale. Arrival time at the restaurant is 3pm, so you can enjoy a decadent sundae, fruit sherbet, banana split, parfait, or any number of other treats. The Sugar Bowl is not just “sugar,” and you can order an early dinner if you wish, before (or after) dessert!
A scenic drive, with ice cream to top it off. Sign up to join the fun!
