50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Tucson

“The place is really nice and clean and the food is great. The service was meh, the girl at the register straight up lied to me and said they dont make coffee/latte, but when i left, i saw someone get up to get their iced latte..? Idk why she would lie to me and make it for othet people?“

“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.“

“Amazing gelato with crunchy delicious variety of cones available. Super nice employees (please tip them) that are very personable, professional and quick to help their customers. I was never a fan of gelato until I had Bella's. Totally hooked...I'd eat it daily if I could. 😃🐾🐕“

“Thanks FroyoFresh. Was such a relaxing experience. Ice cream roll was great. Plus they have frozen yogurt on tap. Flavors change but all good. Please support this place. Was great.“

“The richness of the custards, and the brilliant fruit flavors of the ices. The staff at this location is top-notch, very helpful to the newbie.“

“So many flavors of Italian ice to choose from! Ask for a sample before you place your order; they’re so nice about that. Then build your gelati with your favorite water ice and soft serve ice cream and ENJOY! Nice, happy employees and a consistently great product = great experience!“

“Great customer service and always a pleasant experience. Don’t be the person that arrives a couple minutes before closing time. I arrived at 5 minutes before 10pm, not knowing they close at 10 since they changed from their summer hours. I was still going to get served but I decided to come back the next day. I’m not going to be that inconsiderate person arriving right before closing on purpose. Don’t be that guy/woman!“

“Great service and very tasty ice cream at a decent price.“

“So so delicious! I love their fresh ingredients and how each flavor tastes exactly like the name! Best gelato outside of Italy and especially in Tucson!“

“I LOVE Ta’ Raspado!!!! My husband I come here allll the time, they’re always so kind and the raspados are the absolute best! I came today and the woman working spoke very little English (and I very little Spanish) but despite our communication barrier, she was very patient and made sure to help me the best she could! 10/10 recommend!“

“Stumbled into this place because I saw a picture of the rose flavored Gola. Very nice people educated me and served me my first rose Gola. Wow, this dessert was nothing like raspados, such a complex flavor with cream, coconut, almonds. Will be back again with my whole family.“

“Oh my goodness, I never liked ice cream until I had their ice cream! Now I can't imagine life without it!“

“If cookies ? are your vice, then this is the place to indulge yourself in. Awesome location as there are plenty of venues in walking distance, a lot of parking, and did I mention the cookies are to die for.
The change of selection in cookies each week is a fun factor.“

“Quite frankly, last night at The Hub/Playground was one of the finest nights I have ever had in Tucson, and we eat out A LOT! The purpose of last night's soiree was to celebrate the release of Whiskey Del Bac's Small Batch Bourbon "Sentinel," which is simply outstanding in its own right. So good that I bought three (3) bottles to give as gifts to three (3) very lucky close friends: my brother, Brian, my close friend, confidante, and Ricoh copier expert, Anthony, and the parents of my significant other's daughter's boyfriend's parents, John & Sunny who live in San Diego. If you enjoy small batch bourbons, you MUST purchase a bottle or, better yet, a case of Whiskey Del Bac's "Sentinel." The food prepared by The Hub/Playground matched with each tastefully created cocktail using Sentinel Small Batch Bourbon, of which there were three (3) dishes, was incredible and are on the menu of The Hub. There was a delicious chicken, braised beef rib and salmon dish. We loved them ALL!!! We will return for sure. The food was incredibly good and the service was absolutely perfect! But what also made the night were the presence of Whiskey Del Bac's Master Distiller & Blender, Mark A. Vierthaler and his wife, and their personable Marketing Director, Ariel. Folks, take it from an alleged "gentleman" and "scholar" but actual "judge of good whiskey," they are creating something very special at Whiskey Del Bac. Finally, the events of last night cannot go unnoticed without mentioning the solo guitarist, "Freddy J." who reminds me of a hip and soulful George Benson in a cowboy hat. The man is a huge talent in every respect of the word. If you see a release party involving Whiskey Del Bac or any reason to imbibe Whiskey Del Bac products anywhere, do it! You will not be disappointed; especially if it is combined with The Hub and Playground. Simply put: among the finest events anywhere and at any time.“

“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.“

“We came in right before closing and they were still immensely kind and generous, they even gave us the large cups for water instead of the stingy little water cups. I wish we got their names but the girls working were so sweet and attentive. Great establishment and team.“
