Parking: giant lot shared with Basha's

Service: amazing, the manager (didn't get his name but he is featured in the Yelp photos) has amazing service! He is so passionate about the gelato. From what I've gathered, he purchases all the ingredients and participates in creating the gelato. He is so knowledgeable and so passionate about each and every one of those flavors...

Gelatos: supposedly lower in calories and fat than other gelato shops in town 😉 makes it tastes even better!
-cookie butter: sooo good... don't know how to explain the flavorrr... it's just bombdiggity. their #1 seller
-raspberry white chocolate cheesecake:  tastes better than a cheesecake, their #2 seller
- tiramisu 4/5 omg the ladyfinger in the gelato... it's coated in magic and rebaked and then mixed back into the gelato... whhhaaattt?

I also tried my cousin's mint flavor gelato... tastes like REAL MINT!!! Drastically different from store bought "mint choc chip"

Seriously, give this place a try! I was thoroughly impressed! read less - 2/25/2019

The owner went to a gelato culinary school in Italy,  bought the top of the line gelato equipment from Italy, and even flew out an Italian gelato chef to train at blue ice gelato... and it shows.

I can compare it to my recollection of the two best Ice Cream Parlors from the time I used to live in Rome. It has a variety of flavors all to die for and the price is just right.Enjoy it! read less - 2/06/2018 

Delicious!  This is our new favorite gelato place.  The chocolate banana (made with fresh bananas) was amazing.  What a delightful addition to the Basha's plaza. - 9/27/2017

We are from Phoenix but every time I visit Tucson we make a stop here. First thing is they are so friendly and sweet and very patient with the kiddos. Their flavors are incredible! Gelato is creamy,  tasty and just pure perfection. I have tried the pistachio,  fior di latte, caramel, coconut and gianduia and they are all amazingly delicious. This place is the real deal! read less - 7/26/2019

She had a great attitude and customer service. We also met the manager and main chef Don who is also kind hearted and had us try some great combinations. The workers really do put their heart into their work. I took my family from out of town here and they loved it too! Will DEFINITELY be returning soon! read less - 7/07/2019

Of course, you can mix-and-match, and that's exactly what I did, opting for both the hazelnut and the chocolate. The hazelnut is a Nutella-lover's dream, having that smooth, nutty flavor we all love so much, while the chocolate was deep, rich, and incredibly satisfying. What I like about this gelato is that it's not overly sweet - just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, but not so much as to overpower the flavors. The balance is just right.

The portion sizes are quite generous and very reasonably priced, at $5.50 for a large. You know you want it, so why not get it? Sit out on the patio, chat with some friends, and slowly savor the creamy wonderfulness.

The best part about Blue Ice is that it's a great family-owned gelateria, with the folks behind the counter taking great pride in their gelato, making sure that all of their guests leave happier than when they walked in... and I certainly did!  Bookmark it! read less - 11/10/2017 

The gelato and affogato are amazing.  Manager Don and staff are great.  I love pistachio ... which was way better than anywhere else I've had in Tucson.  But there were several super interesting flavors that we shared. - 3/25/2018
