50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Tucson

“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. 😃🐾🐕“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Hubby and I especially love it when they have music but the ice cream is a perfect excuse for a Turtle sundae for us to share also.. We've heard a two piece Country Duo and a single 70s musician so far and enjoyed both. The 70s we sang mostly because we're most familiar with that genre of music since my hubby has been a musician a long time.
So much FUN!“

“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!“

“Fresh made pasta dishes, sandwiches, salads, and fries with vegetarian, and vegan options. Rotating gelato flavors for dessert. Drink options include canned or bottled soda, some beer, and canned cocktails.

I got the Vodka Rigatoni with meatballs. Mine was good and sauce was rich. Some red pepper spice to the sauce. Meatballs were moist and decently flavorful. Wife got a special birria elote pasta. The birria pasta sauce was moderately spicy, corn was fresh, and meat pretty good.

Overall a decent experience and decent meal. And the fresh pasta is a definite bonus. Would've wished it came with some bread or a side salad with the pasta tho.“

“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.“

“Totally awesome selection on the menu things i havent seen on any menu.. definitely recommend the pot pies“

“Many flavors and options. Friendly employees“

“Yummy ice cream!!! Love a must“

“We love crumbl! It's a celebration every time we get one! We got the new pumpkin and it was delicious

Kid-friendliness: My kids love the fun cookies . Always something different but you can't go wrong with the classic chocolate chip!“

“The best yogurt in Tucson. The owner is so nice and it always a pleasure to get my favorite froyo at Frozen Delight 🍦“

“Always delicious! thin mint blizzard was 🔥🔥“

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

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

“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.“

“Just a reminder, this place isn't focused on general consumers. This is a location that promotes independent business entrepreneurship. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, but based on what you are there for (like product the summer months), supply can be pretty demanding.“

“Love their Honeycomb! Giving Pumpkin Spice a try.“

“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.“

“Best Ice Cream ever. Truly the first homemade ice cream“

“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“

“OMG, the Kentucky Butter Cake cookies were to die for. I am a chocolate chip only person & when my baby girl told me to try the Kentucky, I was a little hesitant. Taking that first bite, SWEET BABY JESUS, I'M IN LOVE. So I went back & bought a 12-pack🤣😍🤩 Thank you!“

“Good food and best raspados“

“Have driven by here many times and finally stopped by recently. I got a strawberry mango raspados con nieve and it was delicious! It had the perfect ratio between ice, fruit, and ice cream. It was also fairly priced, the medium was $5.75 and very filling!Pros:Yummy foodFast and friendly serviceGood portions for priceCons:Sometimes hard to get the fruit through the straw, maybe ask for a spoon?“

“Super fun shop, very sweet owner. Love the beautiful vibe“

“Wednesday night (1/22/26) I went at like 1145 at night. I had a craving for a blizzard. The young man that was At the window was polite, kind, helpful & had WONDERFUL customer service. He wasn’t annoyed at all that they were closing in 15 minutes and I was just ordering.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This experience will definitely have me coming back!“

“If you're looking for a refreshing treat that feels both indulgent and light, Adis Agua Frescas Raspados is a gem! I stopped by recently and decided to try their vegan strawberry vanilla mix flavor, and wow--such a creative and delicious combo.

The strawberry was bright and fruity without being overly sweet, and the vanilla added this creamy, dessert-like balance that made every bite feel like summer in a cup. The texture was spot on--perfectly shaved ice that melts just right instead of clumping up.

The shop has a friendly, upbeat vibe and a colorful menu that makes it hard to pick just one flavor. Everything looked so tempting! My only tiny critique (why 4 stars instead of 5) is that I wish the portion was a little bigger for the price--but the quality and freshness definitely make up for it.

If you're vegan or just want a dairy-free option that doesn't compromise on flavor, this spot has you covered. I'll definitely be back to explore more combos--next time I'm eyeing something tropical!

Tip: Grab napkins--they're generous with the syrup (in the best way).“

“The frozen custard is delicious, and this is one of a few places in Tucson where honest-to-goodness pork tenderloin sandwiches are on the menu. The main problem is, there's only one drive-through lane. That means that the wait to order can be long, then you have to pull ahead to wait for your food.“

“Ice cream is so good!!!!! Family fun!!!!!“

“Loved harvest vegetable burger“

“So good!! First time there and the staff helped me out with the menu. Prices are good also. The ice cream was very very good and fruit was fresh. My new favorite place!!! We got here often. The best one in town..everything is so fresh!!!! Love it love it!!!“

“The team was welcoming and the food and beverage were delicious! I had an Everything bagel with Bacon, Egg and Cheese. It truly hit the spot.“

“Went to the LaEncantata location this evening, super sweet, polite young lady, Amanda helped my boyfriend and I. We love going to Frost but early the in the resent past have had a few moody employees. Looks like they have some new employees that seems be happy and care. It is also a treat and sooooo yummy! Best in Tucson!“

“It was our first time here and it was delicious 😍 We can’t wait to come back again!!!“

“This is our favorite Dairy Queen always very friendly very quick service Clean just a great place to go“

“Everything is so delicious. Theyre open pretty late too so its perfect for a late night snack. I loved the gansitos ice cream. There was actual large chunks of gansito, which was perfect. The location is super cutely decorated and clean, too. Love it. Definitely going to come back.“
