Ice cream shop
The Screamery offers exceptional service with a knowledgeable manager who is a gelato connoisseur. Their explanations of ingredients and flavor profiles perfectly match the tastes of each selection. The imported ingredients used in their gelato are of high purity and quality, evident in every spoonful. This ice cream shop provides an amazing experience for both adults and children, with outstanding staff who offer assistance in the ordering process and explain the points system for rewards.
We had just so happened to have lunch nearby and we were craving some ice cream. I goggled nearby me and happened to find the Screamery. It was our first visit and they were not kidding, I would scream for their creamy ice cream. . I had the Mississippi mud pie and my for my husband, the strawberry sundae with hot fudge and nuts. Definitely worth the trip and the price. We would definitely return if in the area. So sorry we forgot to post any photos, we ate it all up and forgot 😅 🍦

I found this local homemade ice cream shop in Tucson and loved everything about it. I tried the honeycomb and berry poppins flavors and both were amazing. The flavors were fresh, creative, and really well balanced. The staff was super friendly and took the time to explain the flavors and how they’re made. It felt really welcoming and genuine. If you’re in Tucson and want a treat, definitely stop by. The ice cream is great, the people are kind, and the whole place just has a good vibe. I’ll be back for sure.

Absolutely loved this place. We went there two nights in a row and whoever the young lady was working give her a RAISE! She patiently explained every ice cream flavor, gave samples, was friendly and all this while there was 10 people who all walked in at the same time. Not only was the employee amazingly friendly, but the ice cream was top notch. They have a vanilla+honeycomb flavor, a sea salt base, fruity flavors, great flavor combinations and fresh made waffle cones. I wish I lived closer so I could keep coming! Top notch ice cream and service!
Justin C — Google review
This is THE. BEST. ICE CREAM. I HAVE EVER HAD. I travel across the country from the DC area just for this ice cream. The honeycomb flavor keeps me dreaming about this ice cream shop from the minute I leave Arizona, until I’m able to make it back, usually over a year later. I come, and make sure I go at least once a day. I’ll hit any and every location. I have people I know bring back pints at a time for me. I tell everyone I know in my hometown about this ice cream flavor. I can not and will not ever settle for another “favorite ice cream flavor”. The ice cream is fully loaded with honeycomb and honey ribbons, I’m never getting a spoonful of just ice cream, there’s always ribbons and chunks of goodness. If I could inject it into my veins I would. I want it on tap in my house. I would legitimately pay to fund the opening of a location in the Northern Virginia area. This ice cream is not to be effed with. Prepare for greatness, and double up on the honeycomb flavor.

Located in downtown Tucson, Arizona, HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery is a trendy spot popular with a young crowd. The restaurant offers a modern twist on comfort food and serves homemade ice cream made just across the street. In addition to its delicious food offerings, the area is also home to several distilleries and breweries for those interested in local spirits and craft brews. Visitors can enjoy dishes like hot wings and cheese curds while savoring delectable ice cream flavors.
I don’t go to The Hub very often but when I do I am reminded why I like this place so much. I came here for my birthday dinner by reservation. Depending on the vibe you are going for this is a pretty classy place. The ambiance is very much on the chill side. The lighting isn’t overwhelming and bright. The view to the outside is beautiful as you can see downtown and the greenery outside. The food was spectacular! Made perfectly and absolutely delicious. Everything was made as ordered and flavorful. This was an overall great visit and place to eat with friends.

I visited The Hub Restaurant & Ice Creamery on a quiet Wednesday night (3/5/25), and while the experience had its highs and lows, it was overall a decent outing. Starting with the service—it was good. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure everything was taken care of. However, the food itself was a bit underwhelming. I tried the Prime Rib Fries, and while the portion was fair, the meat was slightly dry. The cheese sauce, unfortunately, had seized up under the heat lamp, likely due to the slower night. The Buffalo Wings were at least served warmer and had a standard flavor you’d expect at most places offering wings, but nothing particularly stood out. What did stand out was the ambience. The mix of exposed brick and modern design gave the restaurant a stylish yet comfortable feel, making it a great spot to relax in downtown Tucson. Overall, The Hub delivers a nice setting and solid service, but the food could use a little more attention—especially when it’s not busy. I’d be open to giving it another try, maybe on a busier night when everything is fresher.

In my Tucson's top 5. The best pastrami meat Ive ever tasted, everythingelse we ordered was delicious too. Great customer service included.
Enrique C — Google review
Went here for dinner since it was close to the hotel I was staying at. I ordered the Calamari to start and I was surprised in a good way. It was a very Asian inspired dish that was very different for this type of restaurant. The tempura was the right amount of crisp. As my main I ordered the seared salmon over risotto. As the salmon was seared, I was expecting it to be a little raw in the center. Still great with the compliment of the cheesey risotto and the hint of cranberries. Very good overall and would go back.

The Hub was the spot. We went in knowing exactly what we wanted based on some social media posts. We chose the Mac n Cheese (with chicken) and the Pot Pie (with Chicken). They DOD NOT disappoint, delicious. Weather was pleasant so we sat outside, inside did look nice and comfortable. The bourbon whiskey selection was insane, reasonably priced pours.
Douglas L — Google review
Ordered a non alcoholic drink of blue color and it was so soothing. Took fish and chips. The fish was not fully marinated and cooked. The fries with cheese and herbs were good. The pistachio ice cream was delicious. The ambience is very family oriented and lively. The service is great.

First night officially open! Valentine's Day! Great unique menu. We both went Sea Bass! Most wise decision! Amazing. Had appetizer clam chowder soup and shrimp, Desert Lemon curd tart and strawberry cheese cake. Yummy. Did the Custom cocktails too. Very fun outdoor dining experience. Ed was a good server. Manager checked in too! Highly recommend giving the Hub a try.

Frost Gelato is a modern chain that offers a wide range of classic and innovative flavors of handcrafted gelato and sorbet, along with coffee drinks. The brand has expanded globally, with branches all over the world. Each month, new flavors are introduced to their already extensive selection. The founders were inspired by a trip to Rome and worked with a master gelato chef to create 62 gelato flavors and 56 sorbets.
This place is a hidden Gem!! 💖💖💖💖 Best ice cream place in AZ! They have a big variety of flavors, it was so difficult to just pick 2.

Overall, Frost is a great place to get gelato. I wouldn't recommend a clear frosting cake, though. We ordered a birthday cake with the clear frosting, and it didn't come out the way I thought it was. The cake wasn't made when I arrived an hour after the time it was supposed to be done, so I had to come back about 2 hours later. They made it in a rush, and it was missing some of the toppings(nuts). I am not sure everything was set when we took it, because when we got home, I put it in the freezer right away and then later that evening the cookies and writing shifted around off the cake. The clear look was not as appealing. The fruit frosting example they had looked appealing, so maybe that one is better. However, my wife is adamant she doesn't want a cake from there next time.

My scoop wasn’t as decorative as other photos posted. The green tea flavor is beautiful however the cheesecake is rather weak. The texture of the gelato is excellent. All the flavors should be on par with the rest.

Best gelato in town! No high fructose corn syrup or artificial sugars in there regular flavors. I do not know about the candy/cookie ones. I recommend their award winning creation that tastes just like a snickers bar!

I love coming here during the weekend. It’s super unique and such a nice place to get gelato. They make everything and gelato in all different flavors. I always get a different flavor each time I come in. I like the fact it’s healthier than ice cream. So I don’t have to be super concerned about the calories per say. The employees are super chill and patient when I am trying to decide out of there many delicious flavors to choose from. I would recommend if you are looking for an alternative to ice cream that is still delicious and freshly made.

Blue Ice Gelato, located in the Catalina Foothills, offers a delightful selection of over 50 flavors including fig mascarpone, honeydew cucumber, and vegan sorbet options. The gelato is described as being lighter than ice cream but equally decadent with its extravagant flavors and silky texture. Visitors have praised the homemade taste of the gelato and appreciated the friendly service from staff members who allowed them to sample various flavors.
Wow, what a find! Incredible selection, very friendly and helpful staff, and welcoming and clean atmosphere. Clear signage for choices and prices. Love the free samples before we purchased. Highly recommend oatmeal raisin, cookie batter, pistachio, coconut. Also love that they will give you different flavors in one container and menu changes daily!

While visiting Tucson with some friends, we were treated to Blue Ice Gelato. This place did not disappoint. We loved it so much that we went back for a total of 3 times in 10 days. The gelato was exceptional, and the prices were very reasonable. I wish that we had this shop in my hometown in California so I could experience their offerings again. I can't wait to go back to Arizona just for this treat.

The location couldn’t be better… you were just dining with friends at one of the neighboring restaurants and as you’re leaving, invariably one of them says, “Anybody up for gelato?” Uh, well, yeah. Who isn’t? It’s a nice shop, adequate selection. Sweet tooth satisfied. That’s Banana Cream Pie in the photo; the Pistachio is also a favorite.

This place has been here for years and we finally stopped in for some sweet treats. The kids each ordered a junior ice cream ($3.95 each) and we ordered boba drinks ($4.25 each). One with a green tea base with a mango taro mix and popping bobas - it was sweet and fun. The other was a milk base with coffee and traditional bobas - it was sweet and carmelly. The gentleman who helped us was very kind and gave the kids lots of samples. We'll definitely be back.

I got a small sized cone of chocolate/vanilla frozen yogurt swirl. The cost was $5.29, which I suppose is fine. The proportion was about 95/5 chocolate vanilla which was interesting. It was still enjoyable and service was fine, though I was handed the cone before I finished putting the cash in my wallet, so I asked if they could hold the cone until I finished putting the cash in my wallet. Solid, and I guess this finishes my visit to all of Tucson’s ice creamery’s. Nothing special here, but it’s fine enough

Bella's Gelato Shoppe & Food Truck is a delightful destination offering a variety of gelato and homemade treats. Originally conceived as a healthy food truck, owner Elizabeth Sebring took over the gelato truck in 2015 and transformed it into a vibrant shop. Despite delays due to the pandemic, Bella's Gelato Shoppe has become a popular spot for both weekday getaways and weekend indulgences.
Best Gelato I've had in my life. There were so many flavors it was hard to decide they were all very delicious, but the root beer flavor was the best, and the staff (mainly Elizabeth) are so kind! 5 stars all day. If you don't agree, go to Dairy Queen.

I absolutely love this place! The ice cream was delicious smooth, creamy, and full of flavor but what really stood out to me were the chocolates. They had such cool, unique designs that made them just as fun to look at as they were to eat. It felt like a little work of art in every piece. I seriously wish we had one of these where I live because I’d be back all the time. Such a fun and memorable treat!

I was the only customer in the shop and I asked to try a flavor and the first thing I was told is there’s a very STRICT 3 flavor limit… ok? So, I got a small cup of gelato and was shocked that she didn’t fill the cup past the brim. And in fact, she painstakingly made sure to scrape off any gelato that did go past the brim. Why do you display on your counter cups with dome plastic lids if you don’t fill them past the brim? It’s very disappointing and deceptive. Another customer came in after I had gotten my very small and precisely measured cup, and she asked for a sample and was not told that there was a strict 3 flavor limit. Not sure why she wasn’t scolded about the rule, but whatever. Very over priced and rude, I won’t be back. I provided a picture of how to properly fill a cup for future training purposes. You’re welcome

We recently had Bella’s Gelato come to our office to serve over 50 team members, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The team was friendly, professional, and incredibly organized. They made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone. The gelato itself was amazing — rich, creamy, and full of flavor. They brought a great variety of flavors, so there was truly something for everyone. Our staff couldn’t stop raving about it, and many went back for seconds (or thirds!). If you’re looking to treat your team or host a special event, I highly recommend Bella’s Gelato. Their service and quality are top-notch, and they definitely brought some joy to our workplace!

Whenever I'm in the neighborhood I stop in to have my favorite combination of espresso and chocolate peanut butter ice-cream. Two scoops and nothing could be better. We have patronized this establishment for over 8 years and are always delighted with the quality and taste of real ice cream without a bunch of mixing gimmicks. We've also ordered ice cream cakes for birthdays. Arguably the best ice cream in Tucson.

Brought the family here from out of town. We usually look for the local ice cream shops instead of the big chain businesses. I noticed they had Blue Bell Ice Cream on one end of the shop and an unlabeled ice cream on the other side of the shop. When I asked the lady about the unlabeled ice cream she claimed it came from five different dairies. So I ordered a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. It was icy and had a terrible flavor. The wife and kids got a cookies and cream and ended up throwing it away. When I asked her what kind of vanilla bean ice cream it was she answered in a very rude tone, "what kind of question is that?" She said no one had asked her that question before and basically ran us out of the store because I guess she was closing. I normally do return to a business with so so products if the service is great. Overall, the service was as bad as the product and I will never bring my family back here again.

I like nothing about it. The owner was rude inconsiderate and by the way doesn't like children. I asked what kind of toppings she had she had a limited supply. being a customer I ask to use the restroom which she sent me over to Brueggers bagels. After that a little girl was asking for a change of ice cream on mini scoopbecause being a child that she was she was finicky and didn't like what she had we had hoped that we could get a replacement but the lady said no you'll have to pay for it she didn't have any consideration for the mother because the little girl was upset about not having the option. sheets and proceeded to schools and yell at the little girl for not complying with her peace and quiet and told the little girl that she would have to leave with her mother and friend because she was upsetting the owner. The place was hot muggy and it smelled bad not to mention the lady was rude and I will never shop there again she had expensive prices and is not customer friendly.if this owner hates children so much why does she make her shop appear to be child friendly? the woman said it herself I am an old cranky woman and I cannot handle the noise so you're going to have to leave. wow talk about customer relations being on this downhill slope for this individual. good luck in your future job you're going to need it!

The service at this place was almost confusingly bad. I asked the owner(I assume) if I could have a smaller scoop while she was putting my cone together and she was incredibly rude about it. I told her I didn't mind paying price I just wanted a smaller scoop and that seemed to really set her off. I paid in cash and tipped her three dollars (foolishlessly hoping that she would lay off the attitude) and she didn't even look at me, or say anything when I said thank you. I told my friends about this and they had similar experiences. I'm never one to critique a food place for service, but there's no reason to go out of your way to be rude to customers, especially for so-so ice cream.

If you're feeling the absence of Ceres during its summer break, don't fret! Noodies has just opened its doors and is ready to serve you with extended hours. This vibrant eatery, lovingly referred to by owner Carolyn O'Connor as her "second wild child," boasts decor inspired by the lively diners of Hong Kong and features whimsical noodle-themed murals.
I didn't know this was related to Ceres! Yet another location with the best pasta I've ever tasted. I always try out the pasta special, I think this time it was a lemon ricotta, delicious and unique. Oddly, the seating here was a bit uncomfortable? Not something I usually focus on but the booths were hard and a bit small. Everything else was great, the choices for pasta and toppings are limited but it's so fresh! Highly recommend for people to try if they have not been here.

Pasta made the way YOU like it ! The owners of Ceres have yet another great food experience for us . Noodies was able to customize everything I ordered to be vegan . They have several options . The tomato basil sauce is delicious ! I love that their portions aren’t outta control and you wont leave feeling stuffed and bloated. They make fresh pasta in house and you can taste the passion in every bite . Plenty of gelato and dessert to choose from. ( no vegan desserts )This is a low key casual type of dining . Don’t forget to grab some cute swag in the way out .

Stopped in for the Birria Bucatini special of the month. It was amazing! I little more heat forward then I was expecting, but that just means it exceeded my expectations! The gelato was delicious also. I had to grab the peach cheesecake on the way out the door, and wasn't disappointed with that either. I will have no problem visiting again. Stopped in again for their Chinese Choriso preject special. It was great also.

Noodies blew us away with their impeccable food, atmosphere, and especially service. The woman working in the kitchen overheard one of our party remark that the caprese sandwich looked fantastic, and she surprised us with mini caprese sandwiches so we could try them.

Everything was superb. We will definitely be making this a regular spot for us.

I would definitely recommend this business for your water refill needs!

Little Anthony's Diner in Tucson is a popular spot for classic American food and a retro dining experience. The diner offers a variety of traditional dishes, from the signature country breakfast to patty melts, pizzas, and Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Additionally, the menu features tempting starters like deep-fried mac and cheese and mini chimis, as well as gourmet burgers with rock and roll-themed names. The diner also hosts monthly classic car shows on Broadway Blvd., adding to its nostalgic ambiance.
We had a great experience at Little Anthony’s Diner in Tucson! The food was great! There were generous portions without being overwhelming, and the menu offered a wide variety of options. When one member of our group couldn’t quite find what she was looking for, our server went above and beyond to help customize a meal that hit the spot. Everyone left full and happy! The service was excellent! Nate was friendly, helpful, and attentive. As for the retro diner atmosphere, it didn’t make or break the experience for us, but I can see how it would be a big hit for those who love a nostalgic vibe. For us, it was all about the food, the service, and the company. All three were fantastic!

Everything to eat was okay - not great, not terrible, but probably not return customer quality. Our waitress (as we're all of them) were super friendly, organized, and reasonably fast. I mean, it seems like more of an event type place with their decor, birthday staff songs, and some eye catching dishes (I saw a shake - I think - with a sparkler in it. But the food I had was average, my burger bun basically melted away from the juice, and saw another at our table like that. Worth checking out, but maybe just for photos and ice cream?

No complaints at all. Would come back if we were in the area.

The regular food menu is nothing special, as it’s pretty typical dining food. Regardless, it’s not bad, and will fit most people’s needs. However, the reason to come here is unquestionably for the ice cream. The ice cream is homemade, and is genuinely some of the best, most creamy and delectable ice cream available. Whether you want a simple scoop or an indulgent sundae, you can definitely find your satisfaction, and more, at Sullivan’s! I visited again and got a grilled chicken sandwich. It's a fine sandwich, although nothing special where I think it's a bit overpriced. The service that I received was great though!

In addition to their gourmet ice cream, HUB Ice Cream Parlor also bakes fresh Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Chip cookies daily.
Unique and tasty ice cream flavors, made-to-order waffle cones, and color-changing spoons! We got honey cornbread, Mexican wedding cookie, and coal, which I suspect is seasonal. The coal was a smooth textured coconut ice cream infused with charcoal to get the black/ grey color and was my favorite of the three. Mexican wedding cookie had whole bite-sized cookies in it which were delicious. Honey cornbread had chunks of cornbread in it that gave it a cake and ice cream like texture. The person working was super nice and made the waffle cone fresh for us and it was HEAVENLY. It stayed warm till the very end and was so perfectly crunchy and fresh tasting. A must get for sure! Also, the color-changing spoons are cold sensitive and super fun!

We travel here every year and try out new restaurants. We decided to try at Italian! Very lovely atmosphere, just small place, I felt a little too cozy. The food was amazing. We got the Ravioli and the Shrimp Linguine, both well flavored, warm, and made from scratch. We also ordered the Calamari which had this delicious chili oil and a fun twist with pork rinds. Service was top notch, attention from the moment we entered the building and reservation was quickly honored. Wait staff was very knowledgeable and had a great manner, as well as offered to help us order and gave good recommendations. Overall, a great spot for authentic housemade Southwestern style Italian. We spent a little over $100 on two people, only one alcoholic beverage included.

I have passed this place several times and have wanted to give it a try. I'm so glad I made the journey across town. I recommend the Elote and bread for apps.The calamari was good as well but I don't care for the dried checheron, so that app didn't hit as good as it could have. For the main the Braised short rib with polenta along with the Wolf & shrimp linguine were wonderful. The birria Pizza was dry, probably because it sat at the window drying out before we got it. The taco cannoli was good, but the hibiscus cheesecake cake was a little too tart for me. Overall it was a good dining experience and I will make sure to eat there again in the future.

Zio Peppe is interesting but good. Pulling up to the building you wouldn't expect the interior. The bar area, tables, and pizza building section are very open and nice. The front counter is just okay and nothing fancy. Our server was spectacular, other than being a Mets fan 😉. I was a bit surprised how long it took for the order to arrive being we were the first ones to order over lunch, but I'm also not in a hurry so it was okay today. The appetizer (Calamarrones) was interesting and good. I would have never thought the combination of camarrones, calamari, and homemade chili oil would work but it definitely does... try it! The bucatini arrab meatball dish was very good and will order again, uses local meat. Wolf shrimp linguine was a bit salty for our taste but the idea was very good. Would try again if less salty. It's not traditional Italian flavors but uniquely Sonoran. The bottom line is I definitely recommend Zio Peppe! We'll be back!

Italian meets Mexican and makes magic! What a complete delight. I started with calamari with chicharrones and the bread with an infused goat cheese spread. The bread was amazing and the spread you eat by the spoonful. The calamari was perfectly executed, I did not care for the black underlayment for the calamari, it had a texture like charcoal and a charred flavor, I personally did not see how the dish benefited from it. For entrees we had the figgy stardust pizza, it was epic, you would think those flavors would not go together but they do. We also had the tequila rotini pasta dish, a play on vodka penne. I really enjoyed that as well. We also tried the chili and cheese infused ravioli. Those I would not order again as they simply paled in comparison to the other dishes. Dessert was a little more hit and miss. They’re version of the tiramisu dish was a tasty adaptation. The Jamaican cheesecake I would pass on in future visits. The taco style cannelloni honored its roots and tastes just like the original at a classic Italian restaurant. My personal preferences aside, there wasn’t a bad dish to be had. It’s a refreshing and daring adaptation of Italian classics, but it just works and it works well. There is a lot of love and passion in the food and it comes through! I will be back and I look forward to tasting other creations. Side note, the bourbon selection is weak but again, that’s a personal point for me and in no way impacts how I feel about this amazing little place.

During my stay in Tucson, Zio Peppe was by far the best place that I ate! The Sangria Rossa was made perfectly and was delicious. I had the Ravioli and it was outstanding with just the right mix of tender pasta and delicious filling and topping. Even though the seating was close due to the small size of the restaurant we had no problem conversing. Highly recommend!

Frozen yogurt shop
Ice cream shop
Chill on Sunrise, formerly known as Sundaze, is a frozen yogurt shop under new ownership by Nancy Kilmer. The prices and offerings have remained the same, with six different flavors of frozen yogurt and 23 toppings to choose from. Customers praise the delicious flavors such as non-fat, sugar-free, and low-carb mounds bar frozen yogurt that tastes just like the candy. The store has been updated with a new digital stamp system for customer loyalty rewards.
You can tell the new owners and put a lot of love into this place. It's super cute and the "Only 8" yogurt was super tasty considering it's the healthy option. The following is my son's s review: "I like that they have the yogurt and the ice cream. The yogurt is one of a kind. Also, the fact that they change flavors I love it because then it won't be always the same and the first topping's free on the yogurt cups so that's so that's very good." Doesn't get more honest than that!

Went in for a sweet treat and expect great things about this because I’ve read all the reviews online. We have 7-8 people, bought 5 cups to share. Went in 1hr15 before closing (just to let the staff have time before their closing routines). Was super considerate and try to make less noise as possible because we have one small kid with us. Not sure if the fact that the staff was having a bad day or not but she was rude and lack of energy. We try to brush it off as because its closing soon and she might be tired the whole day but was not professional at all. And not friendly. Not sure if we come off as what to her but yeah we’re new to town and completely shook at this. Anyways, wont be back for sure, the white chocolate taste bad. and the rest was okay. But the experience was so so disappointing. Never want to complain but everyone was agreeing with that fact.

The store is nice , good ambience but you have to know which ice cream or frozen yogurt flavor to get. I got the soft serve - Belgian chocolate Tahitian vanilla- it wasn’t as fancy there was hardly any flavor in that soft serve. But a friend ordered the chocolate molten crunch, which wasn’t very crunchy, but had much better flavor. The puppy ice cream was ahead with my puppy.!

Stopped in after picking my kids up at school. The associate working looked up when we walked in, but then looked down immediately. She never greeted us, asked if we had any questions, or even acknowledged our existence. I had to stand directly in front of her at the register to get her attention. I don’t know if she’s shy or rude, but either way she doesn’t come across as friendly. I ordered the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip yogurt. It looked, and tasted like plain chocolate soft serve. My daughter got ice cream with Oreos and said that the Oreos tasted stale. She didn’t finish it. The only positive thing was the price. Three smalls and our total was just over $12

It is under the new ownership of Nancy Kilmer. She has kept it the same as the previous owner including the prices. 6 different flavors of frozen yogurt, with 23 different toppings to add if that's what you prefer. I had the non fat, sugar free & low-carb mounds bar frozen yogurt in a cup. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Tasted just like a mounds bar! I should add they have some prepackaged frozen yogurt in the freezer if you are in a hurry. The lobby is currently closed due to covid but they serve at the door. I will be going back soon!

CERES Pasta is a relatively new Italian restaurant that initially focused on takeout, allowing it to quickly adapt to the current climate. While they offer traditional bolognese and tomato & basil red sauces, they also feature weekly specials with different flavorful sauces. In addition to pasta, the restaurant offers soft focaccia and cookies. Customers can pre-order pasta for home cooking or opt for a $5 delivery service. The restaurant has limited hours but is worth the visit for its exceptional pasta dishes.
Stupendous literal hole in the wall pasta place in an alley of downtown Tucson. They typically sell out. Daily specials with mix and match pasta and sauce combinations, sandwiches and salads make it fun but not overwhelming. Heard the gelato is also amazing.They have outdoor seating in the alley so go on a nice day!

AMAZING. We were blown away at how good the food was, I expected great things and was not disappointed. The Pesto with the shortcut plus a Burrata ball was 12/10. My bf got the bolognese and said it was one of the best he's ever had, and he's extremely picky when it comes to red sauces. We also took two cannoli's to go and they made them fresh, so good.

Love this place! My friend and I have been going here every other week for the past year and they have never disappointed! Their gelato flavors change every week, so there’s a small downside with limited time/missing out on different flavors. However, their gelato flavors are always so delicious, even the ones that seem eccentric.

This place has a good environment and is family friendly! They have a bar and outdoor seating. They also have different types of bbq sauce on the tables and while you have to order at the register like it was a fast food service, they will deliver the food to you. They also have an ice cream parlor attached of the far side by where the bar is. We were too stuffed to get anything but they had many delicious flavors and toppings. Definitely worth checking out!

We have been off and on about this place the last 3 years. We typically order from doordash and at first, the food was always good and then about a year and a half ago every order was awful. My husband got it recently and said it was super good so we decided to get it again last night and again I was disappointed. I got the pork sandwich and the amount of pork to bread is depressing. Also the bread they use is some weird garlic bread that I ended up trashing. I paid for cole slaw to be on it and that amount was extremely small. The portions also do not match their prices. No extra fees and a meal for 3 almost cost 100 bucks. The food isn't terrible, but it's not the best I've had. It's edible.

Let me start of by saying that I like the place. Big screens are abundant, the bar had a nice selection of libations and the food in the family size was abundant. The service was excellent as our waitress made up for a snafu. The ribs were tasty didn't need sauce but the brisket was chopped (not my preference) was good with the different sauces product.
Daren S — Google review
In the timeless words of Stephen Colbert, what I order “is potato,” so maybe that’s not the go-to dish here. The taste is great, but I would love to see some consistency with my delivery orders — I’ve had a hungry portion served as regular (and vice-versa, to their credit), had orders show up with no BBQ sauce (of all things to forget), and found the single-serving side orders way overpriced. On the flip side, the smoked turkey is good, and messy potatoes are still a treat, even if I have to add my own sides or condiments.
Path F — Google review
Great food. Real BBQ. Love everything. We had the ribs, the brisket with sweet potatoes, coleslaw with fries and a couples of beers. Restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. The choices of BBQ sauce on the table was finger licking good.

My wife and I came here for the first time for lunch and we loved it! We live in a rural part of town outside of Tucson and it took us about one hour to get here. We tried not only the ribs combo, but we also had the roasted chicken, pork belly (holy s*!t - highly recommend!), a mild sausage link, and pork rinds and four different sides. When we first arrived we were happily greeted (I wish we knew their names) by a wonderful lady who was so happy to help us figure out the menu. She showed us where things were on the menu and gave us suggestions. She also gave us a discount and we were elated! The food was amazing. We're both nuts for ribs and the addition of the giant BBQ sauce bottles made it even better. The sweet molasses sauce was insane - we could probably drink it because it was that damn good. The restaurant itself was nice and cool inside (they had a great AC system). The inside of the restaurant was decorated with sports memorabilia and was fun to see. The best thing about BrushFire aside from the ribs was the customer service. They treated us like family and I'm not even kidding. They took care of us in a way that no restaurant has. When we told them we lived an hour away and had to take food home, they packed it for us in several bags to ensure everything would stay as hot and fresh as it could. We've been telling everyone about BrushFire and we will most definitely be back. My wife has told me three times to make sure you know how wonderful the customer service was. Thank you so much for making our experience one to remember. My mouth is literally watering thinking about the ribs with that sweet molasses BBQ sauce.

Beaut Burger, located in the Mercado San Agustin, has quickly become a favorite among both vegetarians and locals in Tucson. Their vegan menu features mouthwatering options like the B7 peanut butter tamarind chutney burger and the B8 frizzled onion, pickled poblano burger. For an additional charge of $2, you can opt for a gluten-free bun that is house-baked and slow-fermented.
Ate at this delicious vegan restaurant inside an outdoor food court. The food was great and quick to be served! I remembered to take photos near the end of the meal so Bay cake is not pictured but was so yummy and reminiscent of a crabcake. The Bahn V was also very tasty with blue oyster mushrooms. The cauliflower bites were SO tasty. The beer batter on it made it so crisp and flaky. The Buffalo dip with them was nice and tangy.

This little burger joint is all vegan. It's part of the AMS annex plaza. We like everything. The beer bartered cauli bites were cripsy and not overly seasoned. Bay cakes on a bun, I'd recommended in the boat not on a bun. It's just a bit heavy if you're eating multiple items. Banh v was great but not enough cilantro and a bit too much sauce for the amount of ingredients. Limeade with prickly pear was delicious.

We thought our burgers were okay! We weren't blown away, but we certainly did not dislike the food. My greatest qualm was not with the vegetable patty but rather the split-top bun. It fell apart very quickly and was difficult to eat (not sure if it was intended to be that way based on the name of the bun style), but tasted delicious and buttery. We found the spice + herb French fries surprisingly unflavored in comparison to how colorful they appeared. Don't get me wrong though, they were still good. I think the menu items were very innovative and creative, and the service was quick. I might stop by once more to try some more dishes.

I'm very much a carnivore and I thought it was great. The thing I've never understood is trying to make vegetarian versions of meat. Beaut Burger is good because it's it's own thing. It's made from vegetables and tastes good on it's own without being processed into something fake. It's a cool atmosphere and casual. The prices are reasonable and so are the portions. I would definitely go back.

My wife is vegan but I'm not. We try to alternate and accommodate each other. We had burgers. My wife had the sweet potato fries and I had the regular ones. The burgers were good, although the vegan bacon on mine was a little too chewy. The location has trees interspersed among the shops. Unfortunately, these trees dropped tiny yellow flowers throughout our dining. Otherwise my wife and I enjoyed the food and will probably visit again.

Incredible flavor and texture!! Can't tell you how silly I feel for rating other vegan spots in smaller towns as "the best"! The pulled pork sandwich was exceptional and the Ruben was just as good. Most vegan spots have great taste but miss texture or the other way around. Beaut hits both! P.S. - fries are great too

The ambiance inside the Casas Adobes location is described as modern and trendy.
This place is absolutely amazing! Came here for national ice cream Day after hiking around Savannah national Park and the manager was so friendly and so nice even though it was packed.

Some really fun flavor options and location is great. Giving 5 stars more for the atmosphere than the actual gelato (it was great, but I wasn’t satisfied with my flavor choices).

The cafe, housed in an 800-square-foot converted shipping container, collaborates with the local artistic community to showcase live performances and creative projects. Formerly known as Hermosa Coffee Roasters, it rebranded as Decibel after parting ways with some investors. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, they maintained their clientele and expanded their menu to include sandwiches, pastries, and brunch items.

Karla G — Google review
Friendly staff and a cool modern design made Decibel Coffee a memorable experience. And the coffee itself was excellent. I had an iced decaf Americano with heavy cream. The Coffee was smooth and nutty and only very slightly fruity. Just enough fruity notes not to be flat or bitter. But not so much that it was sour. The barista accommodated me by putting the raw sugar into the coffee whiles it was hot before adding the ice. Which makes all the difference. They also added just the right amount of heavy cream to accentuate the nutty flavors in the coffee without washing out the taste completely. Good baristas make all the difference.
Kim S — Google review
I used to love Decibel, but there's definitely been a decline in the last year. There's nothing like spending $7 on a latte only, to feel like you ruined someone's day by asking for them to make you coffee. There are a few individuals here who have a terrible attitude, and on top of that I am looking forward to the owners replying to this dismissing the fact that their service isn't anything but service fit for the Ritz. Their oatmilk is trash, parking is now a pain, which I understand isn't their fault but it is just the icing on the cake.

The medium-roast coffee I had was fresh-brewed and I added a shot of espresso for a classic "redeye." Without the shot, I might have questioned the strength, but with the shot, I found a perfect, strong, fresh cup of hot coffee to sip in their outdoor patio. The patio is modest, with 10+ metal tables in the complex (the shops sits within a complex called "the Annex" off the Tucson bike loop to the west of downtown.

Really sensational little coffee shop. Fully embraced the beautiful Tucson weather by having mostly quaint outdoor seating among the trees and a few cacti. Incredible baristas who pull a great shot of espresso. And I had a particular affinity for the scones, which were fresh baked and had some unique and fantastic flavors (like blood orange or rhubarb). Unfortunately I live on the other side of the country from them, but I think back on the few mornings I spent there fondly.

Our group of 10 enjoyed the tour. The guide was nice, but she showed a presentation on a tablet. I’d suggest hanging a TV on the wall so a large screen is visible to all. It was hard for my friend with vision issues to see. The $20 tour fee we each paid was extremely overpriced for the small size of the facility (not more than 1,000 sq ft) & for the time of the tour. Granted, many of the chocolate pieces are a stunning work of art. However, if you prefer milk chocolate you’re out of luck and will be very disappointed because everything is dark chocolate! It may SAY milk, but it’s all dark. I love supporting fair trade businesses, but the prices are very high. And, the cafe recently relocated so you can no longer stop here for a cafe treat or Mexican hot chocolate. Glad I went because I saw this business featured on Arizona Highways a year or so ago and wanted to check it out. I enjoyed the chocolate covered cashew brittle purchase, but wouldn’t return or really recommend.

This is THE BEST Ice Cream Shop in Tucson!!! 😍🔥✨🤩 I’m an extremely tough critic when it comes to food, especially ice cream, and this place completely blew me away! The flavors are phenomenal, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. I believe this is a family-owned business, and the staff here were incredibly welcoming and kind. I wasn’t familiar with a lot of the flavors and desserts on the menu, but they were so patient, taking the time to explain each option. They even offered me samples to make sure I found the perfect scoop! I ended up getting a double scoop waffle cone with Strawberry Cheesecake and Cake Ice Cream—both were to die for! The Strawberry Cheesecake was hands down the best I’ve ever had, with big chunks of rich, delicious cheesecake. The Cake Ice Cream was unlike anything I’ve tried before—it had strawberry jam, chunks of cake, and sprinkles. The flavors were perfectly balanced and totally unique! On top of the incredible ice cream, the prices are super affordable, and the portion sizes are huge—you’re definitely getting more than your money’s worth here!

I forgot to review until now, but I remember how bomb that banana split was. That other review is just pure petty whining.
Adam V — Google review
Pulled up before closing, I saw they had high reviews so wanted to try. I got a banana split. I should have gotten 3 different scoops of ice cream instead of just vanilla. It had A LOT of ice cream & bananas I think I could have shared it with my 2 kids as well(myself & husband shared). I didn't like that they used strawberry preserves in between the bananas. I will have to give it another shot n try out the cocktail de elote & tosti locos. Place looked clean & well organized.

Ice cream shop
Jeremiah's Italian Ice is a vibrant counter-serve stand offering a variety of frozen treats, including soft-serve cones, ices, and gelati in numerous flavors. The menu features authentic Italian ice, soft ice cream, and gelati - a delightful blend of Italian ice and soft ice cream. The place is adorned with a colorful frog-themed mural that adds to its appeal, especially for kids. Customers have praised the delicious offerings and the quick response from the staff.
I was so excited to see a Jeremiah’s location open near me! I love the cookie butter with vanilla ice cream🍪🍦It reminds me of Teddy Graham’s. Such a great summer treat. The location was nice and the employees were very friendly:) The sizes are great for what you get/how much you pay. We ordered a medium to share and it was more than enough. (Ps this came with more but we were just so excited to dig in)

I love Jeremiah’s and have since I discovered it in college at Daytona Beach. I’ll always stop in for a scoop froggy frog gelati.

The ice cream here is hands down the best. I got the vanilla ice cream with the cookie butter. So good. The small was a great option to share. Will be coming back!

Everything was absolutely delicious!! They were generous to sponsor our work event supporting youth with autism and they were on time, supportive, and very easy to work with!! Thank you so much for being part of our Tucson community!!

While their actual Italian ice is decent, we have had two bad experiences here and I don't think we will be risking a third. Both times involved ice cream not being available. The first time, they said someone had turned off the ice cream machine before completing our order so no ice cream for half our party. The second time, we ordered and thought everything was fine. Then we were told oh by the way, the ice cream machine is broken. Now, I realize that we are at Jeremiah's Italian Ice and not Jeremiah's Ice Cream, but their claim to fame is their layered desserts so that's what I wanted. Also, they did not have chocolate Italian Ice, which would have been a reasonable substitute at least for some of their items. Oh well.

Be prepared to pay $5.38 for a small gelati. When it came out, I was sure it was a kids size. It's outrageous!!! Yes, it's very good, but that is pathetic to charge that much.

A full hour before close, was told on a busy Friday night they already took the soft serve machine apart for cleaning. Bad for business

Juice shop

Frozen yogurt shop
Fruit Shack Smoothies Yogurt & Juice Bar has undergone some changes, with a new menu that some find to be more focused on diet culture. The ambiance has also shifted to a more sterile look, which is less inviting compared to its previous colorful and vibrant atmosphere. However, the service remains excellent, with friendly staff members like Juaquina providing great service. On the positive side, for those who are lactose intolerant, they offer soy products as an alternative.
My first time trying this place was at oro valley location and now I’ve just visited their new broadway location 10/10!! Service at both locations were amazing, perfect amount per serving and freshest fruit compared to some other smoothie joints around. Will be back again. :)

My favorite smoothie bar. Fruit shack is locally owned business which is a plus for me. Their prices are lower than other places and they have superior ingredients. I got the pineapple twist smoothie and açaí energy bowl. They both were great and did not disappoint. Total was $20 for smoothie and açaí bowl. Would highly recommend
Benjamin V — Google review
The smoothies are extremely tasty and they adjust each smoothie accordingly to how you want it ( they will take items out of it and add things to your liking or blend it more depending on the consistency you want with no fuss ). In my experience, the workers there have been incredibly kind and accommodating, especially since i can be particular with how i want things. They are extremely helpful and work with you. They also have games and tables to play them on. The fruit shack has a very welcoming environment. I will be returning and recommending anyone who enjoys fruit smoothies and more to go there. BE KIND, no one will want to be kind to you if you aren't kind to them, and these workers certainly deserve kindness (I'm sure they would make their efforts is being kind to all of their customers, but its a lot harder when the customers suck) All fruit is fresh !! Again, their smoothies are DELICIOUS!! I love this place.

We stopped in here late Saturday morning, our first time here. The only employee we saw was multi-tasking like a champ and still delivered fast and friendly service! Our extra large smoothies were made well and delicious, and my son was happy they had his favorite bars available for purchase. We will be back!

My husband found this place near the hotel we were staying at for lunch and it’s so good! I got the Ham and Cheddar sandwich and it came with pasta salad and a bowl of mixed fruit and was absolutely delicious. A “little” sandwich with sides is the perfect portion for one person. The lemonade is the perfect mix of sweet/tart and the staff were really nice and helpful; it was super clean and you could sit indoors or outdoors. Great for a quick bite. Edit- It was so good I went back and got the same thing but double the pasta salad lol. Staff is so kind!

Love it ❤️ it's a new place (open 6 months ago) and the owners are local and very nice ♡ Clean restrooms and nicely done with a rotating board that shows many of the wonderful items on the menu ♡ if you're gluten free there are many options too. Rebecca is very accommodating with your preferences and can suggest something. There are so many wonderful choices, I can't wait to go back again. We got the Moroccan scramble this morning and it was delicious. You can get it in a burrito or in a bowl and they have gluten free toast instead of the flour tortilla. Service dogs are welcome and they also have a patio with a nice view of the Catalinas for a dog friendly spot. Close to Sabino Canyon, they also offer take out and you can order over the phone or on their website.

Food was delicious, employees seemed super nonchalant. Who appeared to be the owner/manager looked irritated they had to do everything while employees chatted or walked in the back. Maybe it was because it was closer to the end of the day. The couple that ordered after me got their food before I did. Then they filled a to-go online order and then I got my food. Food was good but not sure I'd go back.

This restaurant is exceptionally good. I am very impressed. All the ingredients of my very affordable dish were fresh. The lunch and dinner menus contain many vegan dishes.

We've been coming to this place multiple times for soup and sandwiches for months and months and always enjoyed the food. Today we got just one soup and sandwich wich was great & I ordered a blended green juice . For the life of me , I was totally surprised when I got my green juice as it was 80% ice cubes 🧊 and 20% juice. Why in gods name would you put ice in any juice? And the juices aren't cheap. $ 10,- for a small cup that couldn't be more than 5 oz of actual juice and about 7½ oz of Ice. I sent it back and asked for my money to be refunded. Your juices are already refrigerated, don't water them down with cheap ice cubes .🧊🧊🧊🧊

the staff is super friendly & always willing to help out and answer any question i may have. the owner is really nice, from the short interaction i've had with them! as of writing this post, they no longer take cash. but! they're looking to add so many things to this place like taiyaki fish cones that o' my buns advertises, and testing out new food options. super excited to see how this place develops! ...alright so I'm an ice cream connoisseur of the downtown Tucson area, and let me tell you. you won't regularly find taro, matcha, nor thai ice cream flavors at other places like the screamery nor the hub, but you can find it here at unitea. my favorite especially is the taro ice cream! hopefully more students from around the university come & check it out, too! i can't write much about the quality of the boba balls, but i *know* the taro ice cream is just ... divine. i want tubs of the stuff.

Sonoran Sno-Cones offers a delightful treat called raspados, made with fruit juices, shaved ice, and a touch of condensed milk. The mangoyada raspado is particularly popular for its sweet and spicy combination of fresh mango, chamoy, and lime. This establishment gained recognition when it was featured on Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods Delicious Destinations." While the menu may be in Spanish, the flavors are worth exploring.
Don't let the outside deter you, this place is great! I would give it 5 stars but the entire menu is in Spanish. I ordered a banana split, it's a lot for one person so I shared it and it was perfect. My wife order Fresa raspados and she loved it. If ever in the area again we will definitely come back.
