Old Benson Ice Cream Shop

Very memorable little ice cream shop. Always jealous when I drive by! Go check it out!

I've always wanted to stop here for ice cream. Ice cream is my favorite snack. But once at the shop, couldn't decide what to try as there are so many flavors. So many sound so good,I walked inside and got prompt service.I opted for a medium cappuccino soft serve. It was the ideal size. I ate the ice cream under the canopied picnic table as an Amtrak roared by.The ice cream was free of crystals, was not too sweet, and had no chemical aftertaste.

So cute - been around since 1953! Grassy area across from the parking lot for pups too! We got a shake and a malt - both were amazing!

Old school since 1953. Talk about the fastest service in town. We ordered a small chocolate dipped ice cream cone and a strawberry sundae and before I even finished paying it was already on the counter waiting for us. Good quality old fashioned desserts in a cool old ice cream shop that was once a Foster's Freeze.

Cute little place with friendly service and great ice cream and frozen drinks. If we are ever driving through Benson again, I'd definitely stop and try their many other frozen delights. I had the larger frozen hot chocolate and my husband had the frozen chai latte. Both were delicious! The menu is extensive and fairly priced, so I think there's something for everyone. Highly recommend it!

Super cute ice cream shop in the middle of Benson. There was a steady line going through drive thru the whole time we were there ordering/eating our ice cream. There's an area where you can walk inside and order, which is what we did so we could take our time reading the menu. The ice cream here is very average. I had a chocolate soft serve waffle cone, which was ok. The cone was definitely not made in house. The ice cream tasted like a Wendy's frosty, which isn't a bad thing! My husband got a cherry dipped vanilla cone. The cherry tasted almost medicinal, and he liked my ice cream better. The flavors were all artificial from bottles that you can see lining the shop walls. Definitely a cool experience to go to an old-school ice cream shop, but don't expect the best ice cream.

The Old Benson Ice Cream Shop reminds me of local dairy bars you find in the Midwest. I was so excited when we drove by that we just had to turn around and stop! There just aren't very many small local ice cream shops in Tucson. They have a variety of ice cream syrup flavors, sundaes, milkshakes, and slushies! There was a lot to choose from it was hard to pick. I ended up getting a prickly pear pomegranate concrete. It was good but not as tangy as I thought it would be. I love this little place. When we went they had a for sale sign up. I hope that whomever buys it will keep it open so that people can continue to enjoy this unique rare find.

Love their ice cream their soft serve they have like 30 different flavors and they do it for you right there that flavor my favorite all time flavor is watermelon but I have tried other ones and they're so delicious and it's not a bad price and it's homemade ice cream so come by and try it

This place is a cute old fashioned ice cream spot. I got a plain vanilla Ice cream cone , and it was delicious! They have a good selection of options!

Excellent service. Many of the menu items emulate Dairy Queen ice cream selections.On their version of a blizzard, I recommend a small not medium. The medium was quite large and more than we needed.
