Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Stumbled upon this nifty ice cream stop on our way to Tombstone when we missed the left turn to head south on AZ 80. We stepped up to the counter to see they had 44 different soft serve flavors-crazy and overwhelmed I asked the friendly girl behind the counter what her favorite was since they did not have mocha (they did have cappuccino), which I thought was kinda strange since they also do all kinds of coffee drinks. I had the black cherry and wished I could come here everyday to try some other more exotic flavors!

    A little oasis in the desert. We never anticipated finding such a fabulous ice cream place along the road to Tombstone. 44 different flavors of soft serve ice cream. If we lived locally, we'd be visiting frequently. A "must-stop" for those passing through Benson!

    On our way to Tombstone, we saw this cute little ice cream shop and figured it would be the perfect stop to grab something on our way home. At first glance, it reminded me of an ice cream place that I frequently visited during high school in a different town so I was really excited to try it out! The inside was very small - there was only a little area to stand and order - however, the menu is fairly large. The sign that said they had 24 softserve flavors immediately caught my eye and after much debate I decided to go with the white chocolate soft serve & my date got the blueberry soft serve. We were told that they make the flavors to order but it only took a few minutes for them to get us our delicious treat. The blueberry flavor tasted pretty much exactly like what you'd think blueberry ice-cream would taste like and the white chocolate was as I expected (although it didn't taste too much like true white chocolate). The regular cone was a little bit disappointing so I'd probably try the waffle cone next time. Definitely stop in when you're driving through the town!

    Great little ice cream shop, glad it is not just another plain vanilla chain store. Try the prickly pear flavor! Service is with a smile.

    Soft serve glacier toppings to go. On the way back from Tombstone. Good old fashion soft serve with many flavors and toppings. Purely to go. Worth the stop.

    I guess I don't get the concept. High prices, poor quality. I am immune to the particular appeal that draws people to this place. I ordered a double Mocha which was flavorless and so hot my mouth was numb for days. My daughter ordered the frozen hot chocolate and drank 1/4 of it. $9 down the drain!

    Staff was friendly BUT the cones were barely filled up to level of actual waffle cone... Now for 4 bucks a cone totally not cool. If you ask them to add more , they won't take cone back but will give you a cup. Pretty bad when other customers are commenting on their way out that we should ask for the staff to give us a full cone! Won't be returning.

    I ordered a chocolate ice cream cone. Disgusting. They ADD chocolate to vanilla ice cream. Who ever heard of such a thing? It was not chocolaty at all. They have tons of flavors but they are adding it to a vanilla base. Gross! There is no place to eat inside on a hot day and they are never open early for coffee when I drive by everyday at 6:30am. Go figure. Too bad, because it's a cute place from the outside but kind a weird for an ice cream shop.

    On your way to Tombstone? Or maybe heading down to Whitewater Draw to see the wintering sandhill cranes? Well, you'll be passing through the town of Benson and whatever you do, stop at the Old Benson Ice Cream Stop/Shop either coming or going or maybe stop twice. Offering a huge selection of delicious ice cream (Blue Bunny runs here!) of soft and traditonal. A bunch of coffee drinks made only with the famous Bisbee coffee. Prices are very, very reasonable and the quality is so excellent. Plus you can sit in the parking lot enjoying your ice cream and watch the Union Pacific trains roll by.

    I'm originally from New Zealand and back (or down) there, we are all about ice cream. When I go home to visit, we have ice cream constantly and ESPECIALLY on road trips. Start driving in the morning, stop to have some breakfast followed by ice cream. Weird to some, delicious to me! So with that little intro, my husband and I were on a mini road trip to a weekend away in Bisbee and spotted this cute little ice cream shop. Without speaking, we both knew we had to stop for a morning snack. There was one sweet girl (how apt!) working who answered all our questions about their ice cream and specialty items. Still being morning, we opted of the ice cream with espresso poured over it (mmmm.....). It usually comes with vanilla, but we splurged and had rocky road with our espresso. It was perfect and definitely started our day out on a very happy note. I plan on coming back any time I make the drive through Benson. Live a little and treat yourself!

    It's not hard to run a decent ice cream place these days, but I've seen some places manage to mess it up thoroughly - poor service, messy kitchen, subpar ice cream. Fortunately, this place has none of those things. It definitely specializes in the stop-and-go customers - it's right along the way to the highway interchange, and even has a drive-through window. That said, for those of us who prefer to park and go in, the experience is just fine. No furniture, but a plenty big enough waiting area, with large windows through which you can see the (sparkling clean) kitchen. The servers - usually high-school-age girls - have always been notably friendly and fast. They use Blue Bell ice cream, and have a goodly variety of recipes to put it in. Really, it's all you could ask for in a roadside ice cream stand, and absolutely a must-stop place if you're on your way to/from the Bisbee/Tombstone area. Nothing like a peach milkshake to cool you down when the desert sun's beating through the car windows...

    Coffee and ice cream at the same spot not to mention they have a drive through for added convenience. I really enjoyed the shot of espresso they added to my rocky road I don't remember what it was called but I haven't been to an ice cream shop that has done that before and for this they have my vote.
