26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Oro Valley

“Great froyo, friendly staff and a fun place to go.“

“This place is amazing you are in for the best treat of your life as soon as you enter. You are always greeted and with every cookie it is treated like it is gold ( which the cookie is better than gold!) each get their own box. At first I thought that the price was crazy but it is worth every cent! Plus we can never eat a whole cookie they are fun to share and eat later! This place is awesome!!

Kid-friendliness: My son begging me for cookies instead of a cake for his birthday! I agree they are that good!!“

“Enjoyed an awesome smoothie today at this location great place and customer service.“

“Freaking YUM! First time I tried Freddy's was in Missoula MT years ago and omgosh...so good. Hadn't found one near me until last night.
Had a prime rib burger - melt in your mouth tender with mushrooms and onions. Seriously satisfying. Cheese fries - crispy thin fries and cheese sauce, what's not to love.
Piece de resistance - chocolate brownie concrete. Okay stop right there. The last time I had something frozen that was so satisfyingly chocolatey was back in the day when Swęnson's had a flavor called Sticky Chewy Chocolate. This was every bit that and then some. In fact it was SO chocolaty I had to tap out half way through. Unheard of. Almost embarassing - I don't back down to chocolate, lol. I'm reminded of the content creator dude that throws his glasses when it's that good. It's that good.
My party's order - 2 prime rib sandwiches, 2 cheese fries and 2 concretes for just over $50. I don't know how to tell you any other way...it's worth it.
There's an app, of course. It doesn't seem to include some seasonal special concrete flavors, but you can order online (they start on the hot food when you arrive but the cold items will be waiting for you in the cooler by the counter), order on touch screen or face to face. Everyone working there that we talked to was friendly and helpful - didn't figure out the cooler part for a minute.
Atmosphere is semi-50's diner-ish with a lot of their signature bright red.
Go. Just go.“

“We live super close to licks and I love to always try a different flavor and there custom milkshakes are so good also, if you look to the right of the fridge and between the lounge area on the wall there’s a menu for a bunch of different types of ice cream like one is a peanut butter sorta vibe ice cream cone and also another amazing thing is there staff they are always so friendly, I highly recommend this if your driving by or if you are eating dinner somewhere near I definitely recommend stopping by.“

“Excellent ice cream!!! I didn’t know there was a Screamery in Marana.“

“Met a really sweet lady named Cruz when walking in that greeted me with a huge smile and a welcoming hello. The fruit cocktails were amazing. Thank you dear.“

“Delicious gelato and fantastic customer service from the lovely hijabi woman that served me and my boyfriend... But the other woman working was AWFUL. I watched her grimace at basically every customer that walked in while I was there. I had smiled at her and tried to be friendly, but she stared at me with a nasty look on her face until she finally decided to give me a weird fake smile and stare me down. Y'all need to say Bye Felicia to her and double the other girl's pay... The other girl was doing all the work anyway.“

“Me and my mom went to try this place and first of all, the gelato was amazing, so flavorful and creamy, just what we needed after a small hike.

My mom doesn’t speak any English and the employee surprisingly figured out how to answer to my mom in Korean! She had some basic knowledge in the language and made my mom feel much more welcoming, this girl was very skilled and friendly, I appreciate her help! Thank you Ana씨“
