“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.“

“Chilln was such a fun experience! I brought my daughters here, and we all had a great time. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The way they prepare the ice cream is really unique, and it made the visit even more memorable for the kids. The ice cream was delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and the customer service was excellent. We’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend Chilln to anyone looking for a great dessert spot with a one-of-a-kind experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!! 💋“

“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!“

“Loved harvest vegetable burger“

“When it comes to fast food, this is top quality in customer service, food quality and variety. You'll always be greeted with a smile, everything is made fresh to order. Culver's has the best custard in town and the best fish-fry. I love trying the flavor of the day!“

“Los raspados son naturales 100 por ciento“

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

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

“Los raspados son naturales 100 por ciento“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Always delicious! thin mint blizzard was 🔥🔥“

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

“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.“

“Good food and best raspados“

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

“I am always taken good care of!!! 🤘“

“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).“

“Amazing food, drinks, and ice cream“

“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!!! 🤘😝🤘“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful event😎😎😎“

“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 👏“

“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“

“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.“
