Authentic Homemade Gelato in Tucson

This place is AMAZING. Stopped by while in town and so happy we did. We sampled probably 10 flavors and I stood there for a few minutes trying to decide which one was my favorite. Great flavors and prefer over frost any day. I ended up getting cookie butter,peanut butter, and cookies and cream. So delicious - 8/17/2018

I was back in Tucson for a short time and my friends and I chose this spot to catch up over mainly due to its convenient location between us and the good reviews. Those reviews aren't wrong - I don't remember Tucson having gelato anywhere close to on par with the quality here. Their seasonal pumpkin gelato tasted exactly like pumpkin pie filling, and they serve it with a bit of whipped cream on top! The jalapeño chocolate was a bit too jalapeñoy for me but I was told it isn't usually that way, it just so happened that batch had some particularly potent pieces. Which I think is awesome - all their ingredients are fresh and the gelato never has a chance to get old!

Also, the woman working there (8 pm on a monday?) was incredibly nice and awesome and patient and had the best recommendations! Not sure about her name but she's fantastic. Ended up getting the butter cookie dough gelato (SO amazing, it's made with this lovely crackly topping), the pumpkin, and some delicious strawberry yogurt. Fans of strawberry ice cream rejoice, because this some good shit. Cute clean decor, whimsical-but-modern without trying too hard. 10/10 on deliciousness. I might only go for smalls in the future because the medium was a bit too much for me - thankfully my friends helped me out. These kinds of places make me want to quit my job and start selling delicious frozen treats.

Only qualm is that if you hit this up after hiking, does the hiking really count as healthy? Hmm ‍ - 11/20/2017

Blue Ice was the total gelato experience and my new favorite in town! Sorry, Frost.

When my friends and I came, we were immediately greeted and invited to try all the flavors. The GM was super knowledgeable and explained the process of creating the flavors and sourcing the ingredients. Then the samples came. And they kept coming. They even have a nondairy gelato option along with several sorbettos. The flavors are inventive and robust. So when it came time to pick a flavor, it was hard. Hardest decision I made that week. Luckily you can pick 2 flavors in a small. Blue Ice Gelato is awesome and will no doubt become a part of my regular ice cream/gelato rotation. Can't wait to come back! - 8/02/2019

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.

The price is right and the variety is countless. Thanks for the fast and great service. There is no need to pay expensive for flavorless icecream if you have this around your hotel. Highly recommend it. Btw, beautiful plaza to hang with family and friends.

Today was our second visit and it was just as good as the first! Everything is made in store with copious amounts of love and enthusiasm, and you'll taste it! Customer service is phenomenal and the gelato selection is wide, tasty, and fluid. This place has won my own and my wife's heart - we'd give 6 stars if it were possible.

I’ve eaten many dishes of gelato throughout Italy for years. Today, I ate a Blue Ice with friends. This gelato is the real deal. Most excellent. Fresh, creamy, flavorful, generous serving, absolutely Fantastico!

The flavors are intense and higher quality ingredients can be discerned. We will drive past other places to go there. Fresh!
