Ice Cream Shops in Grand Canyon Village

“Desert View Trading Post is a great little stop—perfect for a cool treat after climbing the Watchtower! We grabbed some ice cream here after enjoying the incredible views, and it totally hit the spot. The shop itself has a fun, classic park vibe with plenty of snacks, drinks, and souvenirs, all in a super convenient location near the Desert View parking area.

The staff was friendly, and it’s a nice spot to take a quick break before continuing along the scenic drive. Definitely worth a stop—especially if you’re looking for a refreshing treat and a few keepsakes to take home!“

“Reasonably priced breakfast sandwiches, burritos & Starbucks coffee! It opens at 7 am but we got in line at 6:45 and we are glad we did. By the time we got out of line there were 30 more people behind us in line!Tip: get in line early before they even open up or you’ll be waiting awhile!“

“Thank goodness this place is so close to the Bright Angel Trailhead! We hiked from Phantom Ranch to the Tipoff Point through Tonto to Havasupai Gardens and up the Bright Angel Trail. It was a long hike and ice cream at the end was AMAZING.
We also got soda and Gatorade. After we finished our ice cream and drinks, my husband went in for a second drink 😆“
