This was the most incredible, mind blowing experience! It took me a whole half hour to eat my gelato because it was bursting with so much flavor that I wanted to savor every morsel! Our visit to Blue Ice was literally the highlight of our Tucson trip! It's totally worth driving all the way from Phoenix just to try this amazing dessert! The manager was super friendly and seemed to know exactly the best flavor palette that we gravitated towards so he made great recommendations! The shop is small and there are a few tables for seating inside with fresh cut flowers. Extremely reasonably priced and some people apparently stop by regularly just to pick up a pint to go. If I lived locally I'd do the same! The process they use to make the gelato is unique and somehow uses less fat and less sugar but has 10x the flavor! At least 15 flavors of fresh gelato, each one better than the next! Something for everyone there! Totally worth a stop there to brighten your week! read less - 9/01/2019

A friend brought out to this little gelato gem while at the end of our Tucson vacation. I was disappointed the we didn't visit this place on our first night here because I would have gone there every day. This is not a fancy place but it is clean, comfortable and they even take the time to put fresh flowers on the table. The gelato is creamy, refreshing and true to the named flavors...simply phenomenal. I would have to say though, the true stars of this place are the people that work there. Don, who was our gelato flavor creator, was excited to let us taste every flavor and suggested flavor combinations. It was obvious that he takes great pride in what he does. Tatiana was always there to help out with a smile. I hope the owners know what a true asset they have with these employees. This was a great find and I will definitely be back. read less - 1/20/2019

Right when you enter the door, the server is super friendly and helpful. Right away, I tried the tiramisu and the salted caramel; I ended up getting a small with the two flavors. The tiramisu was utterly divine, with just the amount of creamy and the taste of espresso. The salted caramel was excellent, too, and made up for the last salted caramel frozen treat I last tried that was overly salty. Not to mention, you can have amazing, homemade whipped cream added on top of your frozen treat! It's basically the cherry on the icing. I would definitely come again and try some of the other flavors, especially since it seems they have new flavors every so often. read less - 1/08/2020

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. read less - 3/16/2019 

In addition to creamy, delicious gelato, the service was top notch. If I wasn't from out of town I would be returning soon. It is weird to see something with perfect reviews on here but believe the hype. - 5/09/2019

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 ‍ read less - 11/20/2017

You can sample everything and that made it so hard to choose. In the end, I chose cookie butter and it was delicious. My husband had fig marscapone and it was unusual but also delicious. The staff was prompt and polite. The store was bright and clean. And there was music on the patio. Very nice! read less - 5/13/2018
