Papa Ed’s Ice Cream

I was walking back to my car and passed this place. Ice cream is my favorite food. Did you think I wasn’t going to stop? ;-)
I walked inside and was greeted by a super happy, cheerful young lady. I browsed their selections for a minute and decided on a double scoop in a sugar cone. I forget the exact name of the ice cream I got, but I know it was made by Karens Kreamery down in Avondale. It was a cookies and cream type ice cream with something else mixed in. $ 4.50 and I was out the door.
The ice cream was pretty good! Nice and rich and incredibly smooth. Tons of cookie pieces throughout. The only reason for 4 stars was the lack of variety. As others have said, most of their flavors were regular Dryers brand and they only had 3 – 4 selections of «good stuff». The building is cool, and the service was excellent. I would come back if I was in the neighborhood!

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for local, ma & pop shops, etc. But I won’t be back to this one. It was quaint/​cute, & the staff was friendly. But you offer 16 favors, 13 of which are Dreyer’s (yuck)! The other 3 were from a ice cream shop in some other city. Now, $ 4.50 for 2 scoops, ya really can’t complain about (if it was ice cream that was MADE THERE, on site). But noooo, I could of picked up a ½ gallon of Dreyer’s (junk) if I wanted to go that route. So, there you have it.

Not only some of the best ice cream, homemade waffle cones & other treats, but the location, atmosphere (dog friendly patio!!!) & most of all the people are all wonderful. Worth the drive!

They didn’t have any chai tea ! Which is my go to drink. Therefore I didn’t get anything. The coffee is a kind of make it yourself. She hands you a cup of ice. That was weird to me. The place is really cute and offers discounts on ice cream for checking in.

Exceptional ice cream, friendly service, & they just remodeled the patio so it has a fresh new awesome look! Their sundaes are to die for!

I really wanted to love place. I came all the way from 36^th Street and Bell and found out it was close at 530 pm on a Friday. According to Google and Unilocal they’re open until 7pm.

First time here and I love it. A very nice clean place with a friendly staff and enjoying a bowl of yummy watermelon sorbet.

I took my grandparents here and they absolutely loved it.
Papa Ed’s is a relaxing, little hidden gem in Glendale’s historic district.
The business is nestled inside an attractively decorated guest house or shop in the backyard of what I assume to be the home of the owners.
The proprietors are very nice and accommodating even minutes before they are scheduled to close.
The little gardens reminded us of home in the Pacific Northwest and their shady trees helped provide us with a much needed respite from the sun.
I would love it if they made some really good milkshakes, but it didn’t look like they offered any.
They were also out of some flavors, but that’s okay. The ice cream was delicious, which made the experience more enjoyable.

I absolutely love this place. I have had a baby shower here before I had my son. Linda the owner is so awesome and caring. When planning the shower Linda was very helpful and organized. She went over everything with me from top to bottom. She really wants to make sure you have a special day. When we got there the morning of the shower Linda had everything ready the table for the food, she had the coffee and tea ready, the ice cream and waffle bowls, and all the décor was all ready. We had some personal touches and Linda was extremely flexible and kinda to let us use them. The girls that help the guests with ice cream where very nice. Overall my shower was very meaningful and special.
For my son’s first birthday (which we promised Linda we would come) we where still very welcomed as always. We got my son a small ice cream cone for his birthday and my husband and I got a ice cream to share. We loved sitting out on the porch and enjoying the garden and my son got to run around the nice grass area.
We soon after had my now sister in laws bridal shower here. I had called Linda a made a reservations for a open Sunday for my sister in laws shower. Linda was more then helpful. She made everything perfect to a T. We had a every lovely time and everyone loved the ice cream!
I can honestly say that this is a perfect location for all the different parties from birthdays to showers. Linda and the girls are fantastic and very helpful. I love this little ice cream shop. The people really make you feel like family. I will definitely be having my son’s birthday here when he gets a little older.

Adorable little ice cream shop, nestled in the historic district of Glendale. We wanted to take the kids somewhere outside of your average fro yo shop and happened across this little gem on Unilocal.
We pulled up at 6:13pm and the sign was still outside, however the hours posted said that they closed at 6pm. As we approached, the owner was outside watering the flowers and she waved us in, happy to serve us even though she had closed for the night.
The girls each ordered rainbow sherbet in a cup, I had the strawberries and cream in a sugar cone, and my girlfriend had the butter pecan in a waffle cone. Waffle cones are made in house, and everyone was satisfied with their choice. The total came to $ 9 and some change (after using the 20% off a regular cone check-​in offer, of course).
This is definitely one of those places that I will go out of my way to visit again because the overall experience went above and beyond my expectations. I can’t wait to return.

Cute! Cute! Cute! We walked in on Saturday afternoon for dessert, and there was just us and another family. The gal working the front was sweet and super helpful! We will definitely be back for sure.

Such a great place to get good ice cream. I love the little baby cones they have my nephews love it.

I am a big fan of ice cream and was happy to find a place that served freshly made ice cream sandwiches. Unfortunately, my visit left me very dissatisfied. It began with the service of the two girls working. One took a very long time to make my friend’s root beer float and the other just stood there. She rang us up for our order even though I had not actually placed mine yet. Once the girl making the float was done, the other girl asked me what I wanted and There isn’t much of a selection on ice cream and though the butter pecan was yummy, the ice cream sandwich needs to be rethought here. I took a bite and the cookies were so hard that they squished the ice cream completely out. I tried to scoop it back on and was very unsuccessful. I went back in to get a spoon and told the girls what happened and their reactions were «oh.»
It is a cute place, but the ice cream is regular ice cream and service is terrible.

I have been here once but they are close and today I got opportunity to check them out, they’re right at down town Glendale, can be easily missed because its a house but also a ice cream place which is located in the back of the house, Papa Ed’s Ice Cream is a nice, cool and fun place to be, there are outdoor seats that is nicely shaded and cool which would be perfect for the summer time. They also take party request like birthdays or group events. The ice cream are very tasty which are from shamrock but the waffle corns are homemade which is the best. I’ll be back again and will bring my little cousins and family.

This is one of the small business I been wanted to try and today is the day that I finally got the chance to, it’s a house that had been converted to a business, the ice cream store is behind the house, it’s a neat little place to hang out in a hot Arizona day, would be really awesome and busy in the summer time. I’m really happy with the visit and looking forward to coming back soon. But one thing is I thought since they are a small business they would make their own ice cream but it’s shamrock which isn’t bad either. And you could also reserve for a party or a big group.

Really neat place hidden in the back of the 1920’s bungalow called The Country Maiden in the Catlin Court Historic District in downtown Glendale. They have a nice selection of ice cream, and the courtyard is very relaxing.
Here is a couple of tips, They carry Karen’s Kreamery ice cream and Frosty Paw frozen treats for your dog!
I never knew they were here, glad I found them on Unilocal

Let’s just start with 75 cent kids cones!
Papa Ed’s had added drinks, including Coffee (hot and iced), and loose leaf tea.
They have 16 flavors of Ice Cream. Half of the freezer is Karens Kreamery which is a local creamery that makes unique flavors like Monster Cookie, Cappuccino Splatter, Caramel Toffee Crunch! And the rest is a mix of Dreyer’s/Shamrock Farms Classic Flavors.
Linda, the owner, is so sweet and she truly is what makes the shop feel so full of love and childhood!
They also make homemade waffle cones/​bowls
Sugar Free/​Fat Free/​Gluten Free/​Dairy Free Options which is awesome!

I like being a tourist in my own city from time to time. I think walking around the local downtown Glendale shops gives me that vavcation feel, especially on a comfotably warm day in February.
Papa Ed’s had been on my bookmarked list of things to try for a while and this day just seemed so perfect to finally go for a visit.
The location is just so cute. They have a small garden in the front yard of the house and the whole atmosphere is just very charming.
The ice cream itself was very tastey. I think they only sell Shamrock Farms ice cream, which is although not made in house but is at least supporting another local business.

This place is adorable! From the quaint décor, painted ice cream path and friendly staff to the delicious ice cream… This ace is totally worth going to!
I love love love the cappuccino splatter ice cream and the pumpkin!
Also with the check in deal– what more could we ask for?

This is the cutest ice cream shop ever! I love going in here and trying their new creations. My husband and daughter also love the choices. I think it is amazing that they are so creative. Their newest edition-​the fairy house out front is adorable and I think my daughter could have looked at it for hours! Great scenery and amazing treats!
