I cant say enough good things about Desert Dreams ice cream and service. The store opened earlier this year in the same retail space occupied by a previous purveyor of ice cream. Desert Dream sells a satisfyingly wide variety of premium homemade ice cream that is the best Ive had in Tucson. The owners are especially nice people who place a premium on delivering a high quality product with an emphasis on customer service. The scoops are big and generous and served on plain cones, sugar, cones, waffle cones, or in a bowl. They also offer hand-packed ice cream in various sizes and theyll even pack cones separately and with great care so they dont crack. In the heat of the summer they put the hand-packed orders in nice re-useable cooler bags at no extra cost. I understand from talking with them that the owners have been making and selling ice cream for many years -- until recently in the summers on the coast of Maine. If you like ice cream this is a must visit ice cream store.

This review must be prefaced by saying that the older gentleman who served the ice cream, and the ice cream itself - was great. However, my experience with the lady taking the order was one of the most awkward and frustrating customer service encounters Ive had in Tucson. She seemed to be very judgmental in her response to basic questions (such as, "how big are the scoops?"), and nearly got in an argument with us over the size of the "kid size" cones. As much as I wanted to enjoy this place, and despite the fact that the ice cream itself was good, I will not be returning simply due to the way we were treated from the moment we walked in.

This is the best ice cream I think I have ever had. The flavors are so rich without being overwhelmingly sweet or heavy on the stomach and the serving sizes are very generous. The shop seems to be owned and run by a nice elderly couple and they are so sweet, they also make all their own ice cream and that is super rare these days. I will definitely start adding this to date nights with the wife.

My friend and I had the opportunity to stop by this creamery last night. After a record-breaking heat in Tucson (116), this was a nice treat! I had the Coyote Tracks (with bits of chocolate and peanut butter) delicious!! And, my friend had the Raspberry - equally good! LOTS of choices of ice cream - great, convenient location to University of Arizona.

Nice ice cream shop where they make the ice cream from scratch. All kinds of flavors plus waffle cones and Homemade hot fudge which is so delicious. This isnt trendy this is the real deal owned by real people.
