We walked in and were in awe immediately! The vibe and atmosphere is so cool! We were greeted by the owner who told us he makes his ice cream daily and has alternatives if dairy upsets the tummy! The lady who got us our ice cream was so helpful and kind and showed us the back room that was such a cool lounge with lots to look at and to busy yourself. They have more games then I've ever seen a place have and lots of seats to chill in. It reminded me of an ice lounge without the ice! We spent about 45 minutes there but definitely could have been there longer! The ice cream was also delicious! We will be back and I will be telling everyone about this place

The moment I stepped through the door of LIX Uptown Ice Cream, my life was fundamentally changed. Was it the divine smell of sugar and pure joy? No. It was the presence of a truly magnificent, giant, pink stuffed gorilla. At that point, I knew two things: 1) I was in for a treat (pun absolutely intended), and 2) I was about to find my spirit animal. The owner, Rich, is a wonderful human whose passion for ice cream could power a small city. He's basically the Willy Wonka of the frozen dairy world—except, blessedly, with no creepy tunnel rides. He insisted we sample his many flavors, guiding us through a lactose-free landscape of deliciousness. Yes, you read that right: all the ice cream is lactose-free! My stomach and I are now sending him a joint thank-you card. We eventually migrated to the sitting lounge, clutching our homemade waffle cones full of frozen perfection. The smooth, rich flavors were so good, I had to stop myself from asking for a mortgage application just to live there permanently. Our only tragedy? Rich had made his own version of the Choco-Taco, but had tragically run out. My face must have betrayed my profound grief, because he quickly pointed out that "Taco Tuesday" was tomorrow. A clear sign from the ice cream gods that I must return. Verdict: I'm planning my next visit (and the one after that, and the one after that...). After all, that kind of dedicated indulgence requires a rigorous training schedule. So, I'll definitely go again and again. Then, and only then, will I roll myself directly to the gym.

Yummy treats. Super nice and accommodating "we don't have any rules". We tried quite a few things before our order and didnt feel like it was a hastle, rather welcomed. Fun place to chill...definitely check out the lounge in back.

Staying in midtown Phoenix and got a craving for icecream. This was close and only 3 minutes away on an easy access corner. Lix sounded so unique I had to try it! The super friendly staff joked and were a lot of fun. I tried nearly all of the flavors, and I'd of happily had any of them! I heard so many names that I'm not sure what two I chose...it didn't matter because I loved all of them! Support this local, quirky gem of an icecream shop!!

The best ice cream in town!! Made with the best ingredients. One of the few ice creams that doesn’t hurt my stomach after because it’s made so well. Thank you!

Fun and eclectic place to get ice cream. I tried various flavors to include PB&J, mango sticky rice, Thai tea, and lavender fig goat cheese. All were fantastic! We enjoyed our ice cream in the relaxed seating area that has a variety of fun things to look at. Interesting fact that all the ice cream is lactose free.

Lix is truly and literally the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The flavor combinations are inventive without being gimmicky; every flavor holds its own next to one another. The small batch nature of Lix makes it so that you can go on a Friday and Sunday in the same weekend, and often there will be new flavors to try. The atmosphere of Lix is unique, with an eclectic and welcoming space for all. Lix has been an incredible addition to the Phoenix food scene in the past several years and is our number one go-to dessert spot.
