Our wedding cake and cupcakes turned out GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS. We knew we wanted a desert theme, so it was a match-made-in-heaven when we came across Ambrosia. Annie was a pleasure to work with, she was super sweet and helpful! We ended up picking the pumpkin spice for our main cake, banana for half the cupcakes, and chocolate for the other half; all of which were delicious! We could not be happier with the cakes and HIGHLY recommend Ambrosia!

If you're in need of an amazing baker you've found her! Annie is absolutely incredible and so easy to work with. Her attention to detail makes every dessert a work of art and her flavors are out of this world good! Our household is particularly obsessed with her red velvet and honestly, it's the best cake I have ever had. Highly recommend Ambrosia Cakes!

Ambrosia Cakes 40th birthday cake

Annie made a gorgeous cake for my wife's 40th birthday! It was also delicious, and made the party particularly special. We arranged to have me pick it up at 7:30am on a Sunday morning (!) in order to make it work with my schedule, which was incredibly helpful and kind. Highly recommend Ambrosia Cakes. She could not have been more helpful and responsive.

We adored Annie! She created a beautiful two tiered cake and a ton of delicious cupcakes for our wedding! The cake was one of the most important wedding details to me and we were lucky enough to work with Annie who happily made two new tea flavors for us! Her rum cake and red velvet are to die for and the texture of her cake and buttercream is so smooth. Her cupcakes were a hit with all our guests, there were none left (she also set a box aside for us to enjoy later), and we still have some cake for our first anniversary!

I had the pleasure of tasting Annie's cake for the first time at the Tucson Bridal Expo at the l Conquistador resort. Right away my husband and I knew this was the cake we had to have for our wedding. The process of meeting, tasting, and order was seamless, fast, and enjoyable. All of the cakes she brought to the tasting were delicious. We decided on a simple three tier cake with the top and bottom layers Almond and Strawberry Champagne with Strawberry Buttercream, and the middle layer Mexican Hot Chocolate. It was absolutely perfect (the taste and decor) and our guests loved it! Thank you so much, Annie! We can't thank you and recommend you enough for making the perfect cake for us.

With the exception of the brightly colored cake in the middle, all of these cakes were created for my geek-meets-elegant wedding.

Annie took on our very specialized specific and really delivered! Her cakes were not only delicious, but people loved our unique take on the standard wedding cake. We had Annie create 7 cakes for us, each carved and shaped like things from our favorite things. My husband and I are big geeks, so we wanted our likes to be brought into the cakes. She created a TARDIS, a Dalek (which was probably my favorite), a Mario Brother's Mushroom, The Hylian Shield from the Legend of Zelda, The Death Star a golden Snitch and an owl. We requested that the colors be muted so we could have the cakes be a bit more elegant and Annie nailed that. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that most of the guests thought the owl was a pineapple. Once I explained that it was an owl, they got it, but it did look kind of like an owl. Overall, Annie did a great job with our very difficult order and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. And her cakes are delicious! Everyone raved about them.

Vanilla almond + lemon with raspberry filling! Yum!

I requested a cake tasting from Ambrosia Cakes. Annie met me at Starbucks with a sampling of what she had to offer for wedding cake flavors. The presentation of the samplings were awesome. She was very personable, professional, and genuine. We talked about the type of cake I wanted...flavors, decor and she gave me exactly what I wanted. The cake arrived at the wedding on time and perfect. The taste of the cake was phenomenal! We had many compliments on the cake and it's great flavor. There was some left over and I can't stop eating it! The flavors we chose were Vanilla Almond + Lemon with a Raspberry Filling. Perfect flavors for a spring wedding. Worth every penny! I highly recommend Ambrosia Cakes for any special event.

I highly recommend this bakery. Annie the owner was easy to contact, prompt at returning calls, and was very creative. The was delicious!

I was so happy with how my daughters graduation cake turned out I highly recommend using Annie for any celebration!

Just Churros is hands down my favorite dessert place in town. They make your churros fresh to order…read moreso it always smells even better when you place your order. Kids get a kick out of watching the churros be extruded and dropped into the hot oil and the tables all have uno cards on them to entertain you while you wait. My favorite thing is that you can get 2 items for $20! Totally reasonable cost for the whole family. Every item is HUGE and sharable... if you want it to be... Pro-tip for folks with kids: I love to split the Churros a la Mode w my kids, they will give you two separate cups w 1 scoop & 3 mini churros!

These churros are the real deal!…read more They are the most authentically made churros I've tried out in the Tucson area --They can give Disneyland a run for their money. For the price, you get a hefty bag of churros. They're fresh off the fryer, nice and hot. They do not come with a dipping sauce as they are covered in brown sugar and cinnamon. Delightful. Not much of an ambience, as this is on the street. Not complaining here -- I was ready to grab and go. They will get a point taken off due to lack of operating, hours. I wish there was a tentative service hour placed on yelp or Google as it was difficult to find them operating on the address listed. I see tremendous potential for this business growing and capturing a loyal following if the hours were consistent or visible to newcomers. Wishing this business the best of luck.

Somehow, I always order the same flavors, but still end up sampling 2 or 3 different flavors! The ice cream servers are so friendly and patient! Bless their little hearts for putting up with me being so indecisive sometimes. lol. Anyways, my go to is the sweet cream honeycomb, with either the rocky road or the bacon & bourbon if I'm feeling a bit boozy (yes, that last one has some bourbon in it) in a waffle cone. They've got something for everyone! Coffee and espressos, ice cream floats, sundaes, banana splits, even a pizzookie concoction (Farmhouse) that's big enough to share with a couple friends! Not sure which flavor to go with, get the ice cream flight! Definitely a place to keep coming back to! Especially to try all the wonderful flavors they offer!

This place is seriously dangerous for ice cream lovers. It's convenient and tasty. I've been coming…read morehere for years and I love that there are so many locations now, so you have many choices as to where you can get your ice cream fix! There are many flavor options and even a couple of non-dairy choices. The service is a bit hit-or-miss, and really just depends on the staff there at the time as well as the specific location. Beyond the regular cones and cups they also have some options such as the flight, nachos, and the banana split. They also specific which flavors have gluten. They used to advertise that their dairy came from grass-fed cows, but that stopped a few years ago so I'm guessing that is no longer the case. While that's what caught my attention and actually got me in the door, I've stayed a customer because they do mention that their dairy comes from cows that have not been given antibiotics or hormones. So for those who pay attention to such things, take note! This locations is pretty small but I do like that they have just a couple of outdoor tables with chairs so that I can sit outside when it's nice weather.

The owners were there as well and were nice. I bought 5 rolls and a dole whip. Original- 11/10 Idk what is in the frosting but it's so good and the roll itself was great. It was not dense nor dry. Campfire S'mores- 7/10 Glad I tired it but not for me. Maybe it's because I tried it last but I felt like it was missing something. Cookies and cream- 8/10 The frosting was good and the roll again was great not being dense or dry. Golden Biscoff- 9/10 My kids favorite. Very chocolatey to me. I didn't taste the Biscoff as much but nonetheless very good. Ube- 9/10 I love Ube and they did right with it. I do wish there was more frosting on it and I didn't like the marshmallows but not a big deal as my kids like those. Dole Whip- 11/10 The girl suggested to mix the flavors and I'm glad I listened because it was really good. You can add toppings but I just added coconut. I think it's very nice that they have complimentary water too. Overall I enjoyed their rolls. They were not dense or dry, even though I wasn't able try them until 3-4 hours after purchase. I'd go back for sure.

The panacotta is a great topping and the boba was fresh, even later in the evening. The mango tiramisu was a perfect treat. It had a jello‑like topping with fresh mango pieces, and the creamy moist bites were delicious. I really enjoyed the consistency and flavor. We played checkers while we hung out. I would love to come back to try more teas and desserts. I definitely want to try the waffle because it smelled amazing. There are plenty of places to sit and everything was very clean.
