Fantastic people, they answered all our questions and gave us a couple samples so we could decide. Their ice cream flavors are amazing!
I stopped in here on my last night in Tucson and I was bummed out, because if I had know how amazing the ice cream was here Id have been here every night! Well, now that I think about it... maybe that was a good thing.Anyway... AMAZINGLY TASTY ICE CREAM. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.
Best ice cream with best ingredients in Tucson. New hours. Its a cure for the summer heat.
Loved the place. They were out of a few options when I went. Staff is courteous and available. Loved their chocolate dipped waffle cone with pistachio and lavender butter. The scoops are big and worth a visit.
Excellent ice cream. Great flavors.
Delicious ice cream and the girl working was super helpful and friendly!
Desert dream ice cream Shoppe is one of Tucson best hidden gems for ice cream treats. The ice cream is home made, as are most of the other treats. Amazing service, great price for what you get. And very nice environment.
This place replaced Isabellas, and its a great addition to 4th Ave. Great ice cream flavors, although it was a bummer they were out of cookie mix for their pizookies, though Im sure that would have been delicious.Get the largest size for six bucks and you walk out with a better value than Ben & Jerrys and delicious ice cream you can mix and match as you desire!
Best ice cream since I moved from Wisconsin! Have no idea why you would go anywhere else in Tucson for your ice cream needs. You can buy quarts or pints to take home as well!
Best ice cream hands down in Tucson coming from an ice cream fanatic. They make it in the back too! Staff extremely nice.
The BEST ice cream spot!! One of the brothers (owner) was soo sweet and rushed to make my sundae so we could get to our lyft! (‘: HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Super cute little place! friendly staff, great location, and good ice cream, what more can you want?
I do have to say that the ice cream is nothing otherworldly. There are a few interesting flavors, but for the most part, it is pretty standard ice cream. What this place does well is exceptional service and pricing. For instance, I received a discount for bringing my own cup. In addition, I also had a 50% off coupon, so I got two smalls (which wound up being 2 relatively large scoops!) for $3. While theres nothing fancy or extravagant about this place, it does standard ice cream well, without breaking any budgets, all while providing a pleasant environment
Great prices for excellent ice cream that is made in shop! Super friendly service with people who answered all of my questions patiently! The ice cream is perfect. Exactly what you want from a local shop!
Best home made churned ice cream around! Flavors to please any taste. The taste is wonderful. No real wait. The staff is helpful and very friendly. Husband and wife owned. They are open from noon to 10 p.m. daily I think.It was clean and well stocked. You can sit at a little table or grab it and run. (think Ill do both one day 😁)Good parking right out front.
Friendly service and tasty ice cream. Pretty wide selection including multiple dairy free options. I recommend the Elvis Pretzel for those looking for a sweet/salty flavor.
Holy smokes! What a great tasting ice cream...it had a nice, smooth and creamy taste. Interesting flavors and a cool vibe. A must try!
Its literally the most amazing ice cream you could be looking for. Definitely would recommend to everyone. We are hooked 100%!
These guys have an amazing selection of flavors! And the workers are very nice too! This place is a not so hidden gem that deserves far more foot traffic than what they have been getting!
Not open. Second ice cream shop we went to that was closed. Coming from California, I depend on Google to find spots to go to. Please update your status.
This place is delicious! We came after dinner and shared a scoop. Appreciated the samples and genuine service. We’re going to bring kids here
My friend and I had the opportunity to stop by this creamery last night. After a record-breaking heat in Tucson (116), this was a nice treat! I had the Coyote Tracks (with bits of chocolate and peanut butter) delicious!! And, my friend had the Raspberry - equally good! LOTS of choices of ice cream - great, convenient location to University of Arizona.
I cant say enough good things about Desert Dreams ice cream and service. The store opened earlier this year in the same retail space occupied by a previous purveyor of ice cream. Desert Dream sells a satisfyingly wide variety of premium homemade ice cream that is the best Ive had in Tucson. The owners are especially nice people who place a premium on delivering a high quality product with an emphasis on customer service. The scoops are big and generous and served on plain cones, sugar, cones, waffle cones, or in a bowl. They also offer hand-packed ice cream in various sizes and theyll even pack cones separately and with great care so they dont crack. In the heat of the summer they put the hand-packed orders in nice re-useable cooler bags at no extra cost. I understand from talking with them that the owners have been making and selling ice cream for many years -- until recently in the summers on the coast of Maine. If you like ice cream this is a must visit ice cream store.
Excellent flavors. could not be more fresh as it is made on the premises. Price is very reasonable
This is the best ice cream I think I have ever had. The flavors are so rich without being overwhelmingly sweet or heavy on the stomach and the serving sizes are very generous. The shop seems to be owned and run by a nice elderly couple and they are so sweet, they also make all their own ice cream and that is super rare these days. I will definitely start adding this to date nights with the wife.
The ice cream is the best Ive ever tasted! Try their coffee, theres nothing like it.
The couple who run the shop are so friendly and helpful. They make the ice cream from scratch, but they have several abnormal flavors. Ive had licorice, ginger, and chocolate orange flavored ice cream here, all of which I highly recommend. The ice cream seems to form abnormally large peaks when you lick it, but the mouth feel is excellent and theyre all super creamy.
Staff was super friendly and patient with the kids asking for so many samples. Great variety and prices!
Stopped there while waiting in line for the Vietnamese place.Owners=amazing to talk too.Quaint nostalgic happy and comfortable ambience.And icecream was delicious:)Had it both before and after my Vietnamese food.And i loved their spoons.
Fantastic spot for homemade ice cream. Talked with the owners and they are both incredibly nice people. Incredible ice cream with a huge variety of flavors and a very warm environment. Welcoming people, great ice cream. Will always come here when I want ice cream.
What a great place for ice cream lovers. Had gingerbread and cinnamon ice cream..delicious and made in the shop. Only drawback our diabetic friend could not have ice cream as nothing suitable for him.
Great ice cream and wonderful owners. They told me the story of their shop in Maine and how my favorite flavor EVER, the Elvis Pretzel, was created. Support local business and get a great scoop at the same time!
The absolute best ice cream Ive had in Tucson in my 5 years here! Handmade at the store. Had a great chat with the owners, super nice people. Get here if you havent already!
This is the best ice cream Ive ever had! Wifey got the Blueberry Lavender Cheesecake and I got the Pistachio...yay Tucson!
Excellent ice cream. Creamy and delicious. We thought it was better than Coldstone. Great and friendly customer service. Loved that they had complementary water for customers. We will be returning soon.
Dont go here if you are indecisive. There are many good flavors including some that are quite unique (ginger!). The folks were very nice and more than willing to accomodate my indecisiveness with many samples.
Homemade ice cream is yummy! Owner personally served me. Let m try 3 different kinds before I chose the black cherry. Great place!
This review must be prefaced by saying that the older gentleman who served the ice cream, and the ice cream itself - was great. However, my experience with the lady taking the order was one of the most awkward and frustrating customer service encounters Ive had in Tucson. She seemed to be very judgmental in her response to basic questions (such as, how big are the scoops?), and nearly got in an argument with us over the size of the kid size cones. As much as I wanted to enjoy this place, and despite the fact that the ice cream itself was good, I will not be returning simply due to the way we were treated from the moment we walked in.
Amazing Ice cream, great friendly staff! 100% would come back. Ice cream is unique and perfect for a hot day in Tucson.
Nice ice cream shop where they make the ice cream from scratch. All kinds of flavors plus waffle cones and Homemade hot fudge which is so delicious. This isnt trendy this is the real deal owned by real people.
Amazing ice cream and extremely nice owners. There are tons of flavors to choose from, and they give generous scoops for the price! I really hope they stay in Tucson.
Oh man it is soooo delicious!! Not only that generous servings and the cute couple who owns this are sweet too! Our new date dessert place.
Best ice cream ever! And they have licorice flavor too which i can never find anywhere! Really great ice cream!
Delicious uncommon flavors. The owner is very friendly. Prices are very reasonable.
Small, fairly new shoppe. Right in front of the trolley stop
Great ice cream & fun story about how the shop came from Maine to Tucson.
Home made ice cream and a really cute old fashion ice cream parlor decor. What more could you ask for?
Welcoming and engaging staff, with a delectable selection of Ice Cream flavours!!
Best ice cream l have ever had!
