Licks Ice Cream & Coffee - Tucson, Arizona

This ice cream spot is a favorite of our entire family. I bring my boys here for little ice cream dates and we sit on the cute patio. My favorite is the Peanut Butter Falcon in a waffle cone, and the staff is always so kind and patient with my boys as they try to figure out what toppings they want. It’s priced amazingly, super delicious and high quality. We are so thankful this small business is here in Catalina, and we are happy to support ❤️

Absolutely the best ice cream (and coffee) in town! My daughter asks to go daily and dreams of working there when she grows up. My son doesn't like ice cream but always enjoys an Italian soda. Great family owned business!

Very interesting. This was my first visit to Licks. From the highway, it was hardly visible. We missed it and drove past. The shop is located between two buildings.

The servers seemed very invested in giving quality service.

There were options for specialty flavors of homemade ice cream, as well as the standard vanilla and chocolate. Besides a variety of toppings to choose from, a fresh, soft, bubble waffle could be selected to go with your ice cream.

It seemed a bit pricey, but the results were satisfactory.

Indoor and outdoor seating was available. The outdoor area was covered by shade sails.

There seemed to be a steady flow of customers with usually a brief wait. It was a friendly casual atmosphere.

The parking area was dimly lit. There also appeared to be well lit parking in the rear of the building.

We plan to return. Carlota's Authentic Mexican Restaurant is across the highway from this Licks location. Licks would be a great place to get dessert after a Mexican dinner.

Fantastic ice cream, and small business all around! The Cannoli cone is my absolute favorite, but you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors. They even have select flavors that are switched out weekly, so there’s always a great variety of ice cream, along with certain flavors/mixtures that are available all of the time.

We stumbled upon Licks Ice Cream & Coffee after a friendly business owner recommended it to us. As we made our way through the charming courtyard, we discovered a happy place that immediately caught our attention. My husband and I indulged in two scoops of their rich and creamy ice cream, served on a crispy waffle cone. The flavors were absolutely delicious, and we couldn't help but feel uplifted by the cheerful and polite service staff. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, offering a perfect break from the scorching Tucson heat. Overall, Licks Ice Cream & Coffee left us with a memorable and delightful experience that we can't wait to relive.

This charming and clean place is tucked out of the way, easy to miss. The ice cream flavors change daily. Delicious ice cream and a nice, full sized espresso machine. Comfortable seating, both inside and out. It's worth the drive.
