“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.“

“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. 😃🐾🐕“

“I had such a great experience at Crumbl Cookies thanks to Paulina! It was my first time visiting, and she made everything so easy and enjoyable. She was incredibly kind, patient, and took the time to explain all the options in detail. You can tell she really cares about customer service and making sure you feel comfortable.

Because of her, my first visit was a great one, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Paulina, for going above and beyond!“

“Brittan needs to get a raise or be promoted or both. I’ve been going to Crumbl for years but this was my first time at this location. She has the best attitude of any Crumbl employee I’ve ever met. I can tell she is a hard worker and cares about the service she provides just from my short interaction with her. I also watched her help two other customers and she was just as amazing to them as well. My pink frosted donut cookie was so fresh and it was perfect. I come from the food service world as well and when I come across someone like Brittan, they need to be told how good of a job they’re doing.“

“it is heaven in a waffle cone I have 3 words to describe it in fab-u- lous“

“Many flavors and options. Friendly employees“

“Cute little restaurant and it gets busy! Can definitely tell the noodles are homemade, the vodka rigatoni is excellent. The antipasto pasta salad was ok; noodles were a little softer than my preferred al dente, my daughter said the tomato basil bucatoni was ok as well. The gelato was excellent.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Loved harvest vegetable burger“

“My kid and I love the Chicken Strips. I'm very fond of the onion rings, which are some of the best in the city. And a bit less expensive than other fast food places. The BBQ sauce is quite good and my kid loves the honey mustard. All in all the food is better than most fast food.“

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

“Los raspados son naturales 100 por ciento“

“Really great flavors that I'm used to from the north side location. The Lotus Cookie is amazing. I'm removing a star because I was not greeted at all - I had to initiate the convo with the young man behind the counter and there were no other customers. The Oracle Rd location is very different.“

“Los raspados son naturales 100 por ciento“

“Yummy ice cream!!! Love a must“

“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.“

Neighborhood is a bit sketchy though so don't go at. Ight amd they close early anyways.“

“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.“

“Good food and best raspados“

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

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

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

“I am always taken good care of!!! 🤘“

“Great place in the heart of downtown Tucson! They have a little bit of everything—Sonoran dogs, tacos, and raspados—all in one shop. It’s the best spot to swing by and grab a bite before heading out to the clubs.“

“Amazing food, drinks, and ice cream“

“Dang!!!!!!! This place was off the hook!!! Anytime you got cotton mouth or some crazy munchies you need to relieve head to this spot they killed it!!! this gringo was happy!!!! Everything is fresh and made right in front of you!! Even had homie in the back chopping fresh fruits“

“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).“

“We had a wonderful event😎😎😎“

“Fast service, nice staff and delicious food!“

“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“

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

“Excellent smoothies!!! Excellent service!!! AND on the way to work!!! 🤘😝🤘“

“They need to hire people who want to work and have customer service.. I went in and spent a good amount of money and felt like I was an inconvenience to the girl taking my order.. she was yelling asking if I was going to order or not,she literally threw my box of dilli bars on the counter .. never go to this dairy queen again,as a matter of fact we're boycotting this one .I. every single time we go there it's a horrible experience.“

“Hace como dos días me atendió una muchacha de gorra roja por afuera y se portó muy amable y trajo mi pedido rápido fue súper amable , adoro ese tipo de trabajadores felicitaciones 👏“

“So yummy! Lovely local business and they don’t overcharge even for extra toppings! 10/10 recommend 😋“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“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.“
