“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 love this place! The yogurt was really delicious, and it's owned by a kind, friendly, neighbor. I had the chocolate and cake batter flavor. They also serve ice cream. I thought the prices were very reasonable. I expected the price to be high, but it wasn't. I actually went back and added more to my cup when I was told how much it was going to be!“

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

“Overall, really good ice cream place that has a very unique execution. We really enjoyed the fresh ice cream here.

The main reason for deducting one star was I felt the pricing was a bit misrepresented and overall pretty high.

The cashier mentioned we could pick multiple different flavors that would be mixed up, but didn't mention it would be an extra charge. Then charges for every single mix in (which I did see posted). I really disliked being nickel and dimed - it's more of the principle thing for me. I feel for the cost, one added mix in should have been included.

Also, both if our cups were overflowing around the sides with caramel and hot fudge. The amount of fudge and caramel seemed okay for the price I guess.

Almost $20 for two ice creams... Maybe inflation and the times we are living in are just getting insane. I also suppose a lot of the cost comes from the liquid nitrogen setup and labor required for each fresh made ice cream.

Overall, really great place and the ice creams are all custom made just how you ordered it. Unique idea and we did enjoy it! Only down fall is getting nickle-and-dimed and overall a bit on the pricier side.“

“Pretty good ice cream, their strength is in their non dairy options. With all their regular flavors available with all their bases, it makes for a fun time. Minus a star for being the loudest ice cream parlor on the planet and terrible seating.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“This is a quaint Italian eatery. It’s walking distance from the University of Arizona. If you love pasta dishes this is the place to go. I was here with a party of three. Dish’s orderd was Meatball sub, Bucatini with a white sauce and Rigatoni with Vodka sauce. I definitely am going back to try different pasta dish’s.“

“Many flavors and options. Friendly employees“

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

“i was having a horrible day and i walked in with isabella and jade on shift and they made sure i walked out with a smile! i really do love crumbl and they just made me love it 100x more these are the best employees ive ran into when going in they deserve a raise!! 💋“

“Yummy ice cream!!! Love a must“

“What a bargin. They sell all your ice cream needs for your business, party or if you want a normally priced ice cream not i lfated 8000% stop here. I will be going here every time I pass through.

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

“Culver’s was very good it’s literally no where near the one so it was great going here. Even though the veggie burger was mid the custard was so good and the other foods I’ve had ( I forgot) was also pretty good. Lowkey I hope this comes back to Washington, that would be so good.
4 stars“

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

“I love❤the employees here they are so personal and the ice cream is Wonderful. Alyna makes the place amazingly clean I give a five star because the employees make it so Fun to drop in for a cold ice cream,I just wish that the Owners would allow the employees to have lunch it’s a shame Owners can eat but not their employees which makes their business. Please give your employees a lunch or Break I’m sure it would make it a better place to work knowing the owners care.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Incredible. The most fantastic flavors and the most friendly staff. Stephen O was beyond helpful and courteous.

I cannot stress how generally poor customer service has become over the years at eateries, but every experience I've had here at Frost Gelato has been 10/10.“

“Loved harvest vegetable burger“

“Los raspados son naturales 100 por ciento“

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

“Los raspados son naturales 100 por ciento“

“Good food and best raspados“

“Amazing food, drinks, and ice cream“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Always delicious! thin mint blizzard was 🔥🔥“

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

“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 am always taken good care of!!! 🤘“

“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).“

“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“

“Fast service, nice staff and delicious food!“

“My mom and i stopped here after a show at the Rialto last weekend, and i was pleasantly surprised. In my opinion, these are by far the best Sonoran dogs in town.

I have tried the place closer to me that is usually called the “best” in Tucson, and maybe i just caught them on an off day, but i really didnt care for it (i mean theres no such thing as a BAD sonoron but still, wasnt overly impressed). However, Antojitos got everything right. The food was great, the atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was clean, and everyone working there was thoughtful and polite.

My only criticism is one they cant really do anything about: they are too far from my house!

Ive been telling everyone i know who loves Sonoran-style hot dogs that they need to stop by and try this place. I was honestly shocked not to see Antojitos mentioned on any of the top 10 Sonoran dog lists online. Maybe they are newer or just still relatively unknown, but they absolutely deserve to be on those lists.

Really glad we saw them while walking back to our car and decided to stop in.“

“What a shame that this Culver's falls far, far, FAR short of the Culver's you expect. Third time they've butchered my order. I sat at the window for 3 minutes before anyone acknowledged my presence, which is just rude. I had ONE SANDWICH I was waiting for as I watched 4 cars get their meal. I asked where my food was and the girl had no answer. Five minutes later I went inside. Was kept waiting by the manager until she decided to come out from the back. She was FAR MORE INTERESTED in getting the last word then giving me my refund for food I never received. I've been fighting kidney stones and trying not to go back to the ER for 2 days. My wife was home sick waiting for dinner. Didn't make a lick of difference to the lovely Culver's manager who assured me that there was NOBODY else I could talk to AT ANY LEVEL. No corporate number. I could not talk to the owner/operator Kyle Kolsrud. It appears he does not operate this location or come in EVER? "You can't look him up online." Thankfully, my wife's dinner request was from someplace else because I got no dinner after that disaster. It may JUST be a crispy chicken sandwich to you. One among hundreds you make today. For me it was a battle against kidney stones. It was the first hot meal I hoped for, or even attempted, in two days. It was a 25 minutes drive one way in a monsoon downpour with flank pain and a bladder that was screaming like it was filled with angry ants. It was me making a monumental effort that you cannot see just so I could feed my wife who suffers from CRPD, a disease so painful it's known as the Suicide Disease. To you I'm an unreasonable customer who is mad over a sandwich. But, to the customer who is counting on you for a good meal it can mean a whole lot more. It DOES mean a whole lot more. Think on that the next time you believe someone is over reacting over a sandwich or a burger. This little thing may be big in their world. Maybe getting the last word isn't as important as getting them their refund and letting them be on their way.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful event😎😎😎“

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

“Really yummy Raspados. I got vanilla and strawberry and other is tamarindo. $15 for both with lechera.
The rapsado ice was larger than I’m used too. It’s not very fine.
Really clean kitchen and sitting area!“

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