Tucson's best: ice cream

Santa Barbara Ice Creamery

In a former Baskin Robbins, Santa Barbara Ice Creamery beats their competitors hands-down in selection and variety. The store features more than 60 flavors for $2.18 a scoop, including three different types of coconut—coconutty professor, coconut pineapple and island coconut.

Although the ice creams are imported from a company in Santa Barbara called McConnell’s, the shop does make its own dipped chocolate cheesecake ($3.50) and dipped chocolate banana with nuts ($2.08).
