    5 star rating Having been to Italy twice and having fallen in love with gelato, we've been looking for a place in town that is like what we had over there. Others places are very good but Blue Ice is the closest we've found to some of our favorite flavors from Italy. The cheesecake tasted just like what I had in Florence. The cookie butter and gingerbread are other family favorites. They are super nice there and will let you try as many flavors as you want. We went back a few days later with my Italian father in law and he approved as well. Can't wait to go back! - 11/28/2018

    5 star rating There is a new delicious gelato place in the Old Pueblo. Today I had the mango basil. Um... wow. Two unlikely flavors that were amazing together. Others I sampled were the ginger lemon, chocolate jalapeno, and blueberry cardamom. They also have typical flavors like fresh peach, pistaccio etc. The guy behind the counter was telling my friends and I all about the fresh pasturizing done on site, the imported Italian equipment and the barista training the owners were doing. None of that mattered though because the flavors had me at hello. - 8/07/2017

    5 star rating This gelato was absolutely delicious. They have great flavors as well. I had the cookie butter which was heaven and my son who can't have dairy had their coconut and sweet potato flavor which tasted like a coconut pumpkin pie. Fabulous. - 2/07/2021

    5 star rating My first time into this cute gelato shop, and I felt like a VIP. Ron, the manager on duty was beyond personable. Not only did he give me a sample of almost all the flavors, he created combinations of them, and told me about the flavors and where they came from. I truly felt like I was taking a tour, in all the best ways. Will definitely be going back for more! - 6/29/2021

    5 star rating Great place to get gelato! We tried it for the first time on a Saturday night. It was fairly empty so the worker (owner?) was very nice and gave us samples of many of the flavors before we picked what we wanted. I had the cookies and cream, which was delicious!! Highly recommend! - 7/08/2018

    5 star rating Let's start with the bottom line: Blue Ice serves really good gelato. The setting is ultra-clean and but only moderately attractive, the service is friendly and informative, but what makes the trip to Blue Ice Gelato worth the trouble is the product. The gelato and sorbets here are marked by flavors that are Intense (for example, the mixed berry sorbet) and often complex (as in the fresh-mint and chocolate stracciatella). The creaminess and texture of the gelatos and sorbets works perfectly with the flavors to make eating them a huge treat. It's more than worth the trip. - 1/28/2018

    5 star rating This place is awesome. Thought I was just going in for a cup of gelato. Instead the owner gave us like 4.3 million samples. We were there for a bachelorette party and he was an absolute blast. Pretty sure we are three cups of gelato in samples before we even bought something. He even had sponsored a local girl scout troop and had a girl scout cookie flavored gelato. So good. Go for the amazing gelato but more importantly go for the experience! - 3/03/2019

    5 star rating Possibly the best gelato we ever had in America. Not too sweet. Exquisite flavors that are true to their name. We'd gone to the very famous Frost Gelato, which was a huge disappointment.

    This Blue Ice place offers a much higher quality and customer service. This place is #1 in the state.
    Our favorite was the strawberry cheesecake. Pricing is great too. Can't wait to go back! - 8/22/2021

    Finally tried Blue Ice Gelato and was delighted. I always try the chocolate first to access the quality. Yummmmm!!! The owner (?) suggested I try the mint. It was made with fresh mint. I'll definitely be going back.

    Our favorite gelato place! Absolutely blows away the run of the mill gelato. The owner and his staff are incredibly friendly and they are always willing to give samples to make sure you get something you will love.

    The flavors are just incredible and always changing. They use real fruit and high quality ingredients. Hard to go anywhere else when this place is around the corner!

    I haven't had gelato this good since I vacationed in Italy in the mid 80s. Can't describe how delicious it is. The suggestions by the employees were perfect. Will be coming back over and over again.

    I visit this location at least a few times a month. They have #Vegan options as well. Their flavors are always changing and Don does a fantastic job of serving his customers.
