Authentic Homemade Gelato in Tucson

Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. After picking up my online order I was able to try some incredible samples, all made in-house. The flavors are so rich and vibrant, the orange was so amazing. I highly recommend trying the mango basil.

I’ve never been a huge gelato fan. When I think about traveling to Italy one day, getting gelato isn’t exactly on my to do list. Anyway, I went to Blue Ice Gelato last night because my boyfriend has been raving about their gelato for weeks. I also went back today, less than 24 hours later. So am I a gelato fan now? No, but I’m a Blue Ice Gelato fan.

One thing that really stands out about this place (besides the mouth watering gelato) is the service. Don, the manager, is so warm and personable, and you can tell he is really passionate about what he does. He is always eager to get you to sample different gelatos and tell you about new flavors.

Blue Ice offers over 15 flavors of gelato (in a cup, waffle cone, or panini), but they also have sorbetto, granita, expresso, cappuccino, and lattes. Don also mentioned that they now have gelato pies! A whole pie of your favorite gelato with your choice of pie crust and topping? Ok, someone please get me one for my birthday...or just because.

I feel like I need to dedicate a whole section to the cookie butter gelato. I sampled many wonderful flavors both times I went, but I got cookie butter each time. I believe they said cookie butter is their best seller, and I’m telling you, IT IS GOOD. I don’t really know how to explain it, it’s like a smooth vanilla caramel gelato with this cookie crunch that tastes like peanut butter, caramel, and Biscotti cookies. It’s simply the perfect blend. I can literally taste the freshness of their gelatos. I sampled a banana cream pie gelato and I felt like I was on a banana farm on a warm, sunny day eating the freshest bananas I’ve ever had.

This place is truly great. The place is always clean and cheerful, and you have the option to enjoy your gelato inside or outside. Service is phenomenal and prices are very reasonable for truly fresh and good gelato. I would give this place 6 stars if I could.

Never Liked Gelato, but this is BETTER THAN ICE CREAM. Gelato always had somewhat plain, sub-par flavor to me, so imagine my surprise that the taste was through the roof amazing! They're glad to let you sample as many different flavors as you'd like. And once you find your favorites, they'll let you know that they create and pasteurize their own flavors IN HOUSE. And that what tastes like sugar and fat-filled goodness is actually still very low (or no) sugar Gelato with very little fat compared to any other icy treats. There is nothing generic about the food, the flavor or the fat and sugar content. It's seriously as amazing as it sounds. Don't let the thought of previous Gelatos turn you off. This place is delicious!

These guys know how to make the good stuff. I had a chocolate mint, and the hint of orange in the background made this special.

They had some great dairy free options. Staff was really friendly.

Great gelato, great people! Tatiana hooked us up ???? very happy and will be a customer for a long time.

Absolutely delicious gelato and fabulous customer service. They let you sample flavors and choose up to 3 in one serving. I opted for the pistachio, cherry cobbler and white chocolate raspberry. All flavors were yummy but my bc and I agree, the pistachio was the best we’ve ever had. And we eat a lot of gelato! I can’t wait to go back and try some new flavors as the menu changes constantly! You can also get gelato to go by the pint!

Incredible experience!!! Fantastic Gelato and the server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It is a must visit dessert place!
