30 Best Ice Cream Shops near Oro Valley

“I stopped by on a friend's recommendation and was surprised. I was greeted by a kid named Geo, Geo helped me figure out what i was doing i had never been to a place like this. I saw the waffle cone cups. Geo asked if I wanted to taste test something right when I found the thin mint girl scout cookie, Geo said that's a new one for them. I added my toppings and left it was really good. I will be back when you go ask for Geo.I ate the top off.“

“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.“

“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“

“This place is amazing! They have delicious fresh juice, amazing Greek style meals, salads and snack boxes. I’m thrilled that there is something like this not too far from my office for a healthy quick lunch with my staff.“

“i’ll be honest I went to this place thinking that it was just a local ice cream. It was a fast I’ll be honest. I thought it was a fast food ice cream shop and I thought I wasn’t gonna get the best service but then when I reached there probably the two best servers I’ve ever had in my life they made me feel respected. They made me feel entitled they made me feel like I was a king. You know they didn’t just treat me like like people they treated me like like royalty like family and I got to say I love that and it was a busy night and they still managed to make me feel like I was. I was part of the Dairy Queen family like I was a royalty. Despite there being many people in line that night probably I’d say close to 50. They still got my order out in a in a third fashion and it was good and that was just it was a great night. I really enjoyed my ice cream move it was done perfectly and I must say and I just I have to give them five stars.“

“The front counter worker was very thorough very personable knowing we were buying a birthday cake and even told my friend Happy 14th birthday I appreciated feeling welcomed as a customer and not being rushed. Past visits through drive-thru late evenings are always a plus the manager is very kind and accommodating for recommending when doing special order treats.“

“I recently shared a review about a DQ in Kearney Missouri where a $4 vanilla cone was the size of a kid's cone. I stopped at the DQ here on Prince Road in Tucson and ordered a medium vanilla cone. It was almost the same price as the one I ordered in Kearney MO DQ... a while back... about $4. I WAS AMAZED with the generous amount of ice cream! Thank you. The staff was friendly and fast. Thanks again for a nice sized ice cream cone.“

“Yummy treats!!!!! And family friendly“
