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!

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.

Took my children for the first time and had an amazing experience! The man who took our order was nothing short of exceptional! He walked us through the ordering process and helped me while I picked out my ice cream flight. He also explained the points system to me and how we can use our rewards.

The ice cream here is sooooo good. My mom and I MAY have stopped here like three days in a row while parked in Tucson during a road trip . The best part about this place is that the flavors are so unique (hence having to stop by three times to try them all). One stand-out and must-try is their Sweet Cream Honeycomb ice cream, which was unlike any ice cream I've had before, and is made with a sweet cream base and crunchy bits of house-made "honeycomb" made from local honey. So unique and so delicious. Our efforts to sample all of the unique flavors were helped by the option to get an ice cream flight, where you can order six mini-scoops for about $8. The prices aren't the cheapest at just around $4 for a kids scoop or almost $6 for a single scoop, but it's worth it. Do be aware that many of the flavors are chock-full of tasty bits of honey, cake, toffee, etc. and are very decadent and sweet, so you might try a sample before committing to a whole scoop if you're on the fence about ultra-rich flavors. The guy who helped us two of the three times we came in and told us more about the flavors was really helpful and nice. Will definitely be back when we're in the area!
