    We loved the ice cream and ice water. Perfect with an amazing view! The staff was really sweet and let us try different flavors.

    Literally the best dessert ever! We got this last year after hiking Zion and we loved it so much. We visited Utah again this year and were staying 45 mins from Zion and decided to make the drive just to get some desert ice! The owners and staff are so kind and friendly also!

    To eat or to admire? You can do both!

    This was Ah-amazing! Speedy service! If you're undecided they will help you decide on flavor combinations. We ordered 5 regulars. They were A tad pricy but really it's worth it! They're super refreshing as you come out of Zion's heat and bonus! They are not too sweet. Best combo- chocolate strawberry Next best- mango blueberry Really one flavor or a mix... you'll be satisfied. Yummm

    cone and cute flower! strawberry and lemon

    a real gem in zion! ive been going to zion for years but this is my first time having desert ice and it was so great. the "water ice" is really refreshing compared to all the ice cream places in town. i believe that they also use fresh fruit! i was a bit skeptical since i felt the price was expensive until i realized that they fill the cup all the way. my boyfriend loves ice cream/gelatos and we barely finished our shared large size. we got the lemon and strawberry which was a perfect mix. the lemon is tart and not too sweet, which the strawberry complemented well. nothing tasted artificial to me. i was also curious about their "sourdough cone" which was actually super good! you can actually tell a difference with the taste. they were busy on the hot summer weekday but the service was very fast and nice. it is a cute little shack near the front of the national park entrance. an essential visit from me now!!

    This place has ridiculous good mango ice. It's perfect after a hike in Zion or just on a hot day, we went two days back to back. Briefly chatted with the owner and she was extremely nice. Honestly its the best mango ice cream I've had outside Italy and in the last place I expected to find it: Utah! What a gem. And they are opening a permanent location, looking forward to going back when I'm back at Zion.

    Mango ice and vanilla ice cream.

    Best vanilla ice cream!! The combo of shaved ice and ices cream was the best! Great service!!

    Got a strawberry ice and it was so cute and perfect. A little pricey for how small it was but the flower shape was cute and the flavor was good. Service was fast and friendly! Plenty of seating outside of Zion outfitters to enjoy it. Perfect on a 100 degree day in Springdale!

    Lemon and guava large ice

    After a long hike in the narrows, desert ice was the perfect treat. We got the large which allows you to have 2 flavors. They layered the 2 flavors and made it look like a rose. We got guava and lemon ice. Both were delicious. Best guava ice that I've had

    The perfect treat to cool off after a fun day in the park. The staff was kind and the service was fast, all from a super cute truck. The ice had an ideal texture and the flavors were spot on--highly recommend mixing lemon and strawberry!

    So yum and dairy free!! We got two and I loved the presentation. Fair prices for the location and so yummy! Def worth a tr

    Delicious. Some of the best shaved ice I've ever had! Don't pass them up.

    Delicious! Best shaved ice I think I've ever had. Don't pass it by! All flavors were so good.

    Yummy almost sorbet type ice cream place. Their menu is simple and refreshing! We got the chocolate flavor, guava, mango, strawberry from the ice options and then we also added the vanilla ice cream option. The vanilla ice cream wasn't really an ice cream though (it does say dairy free) so that could be the reason it tasted a little like play doh (IMO). Regilar size was $5.25 I believe and large was $6.25, add $1 extra for ice cream. Overall was very refreshing and this beautiful Zion day.

    Bumbleberry Bakery was SO good!!! The service was honestly the BEST. Kristal helped us out, and she…read morewas seriously so sweet and welcoming! At other ice cream shops, we honestly never feel that comfortable asking for samples because sometimes the employees don't seem happy to give them out, or the sample is such a tiny bite that you can barely even taste the flavor But Kristal made us feel completely comfortable trying different ones. She actually told us, "If you're going to buy something, you might as well like it!" which was so sweet and made us feel so comfortable asking to try different flavors. We ended up getting a medium with two flavors, and the ice cream was really good too! Gabree was also there and she was super kind. Highly recommend stopping by, especially when these ladies are working! They made the whole experience so much better.

I was…read moreintrigued by the "bumbleberry", but ended up getting the early morning shuttle (or some variant of that name) -- which was coffee and a whole mix of other yummy things. The flavors altogether were delicious. I appreciated how creative they are with the flavor names. The waffle cone wasn't my favorite of waffle cones, but does the job in holding the ice cream without dripping. Service was pretty quick! They limit # of customers in front of the ice cream scooping area, so it doesn't get too crowded. If you're there to get non-ice cream things they can take your order before you get to the ice cream area. Didn't get a chance to sit because we were headed to dinner (got in my pre-dinner dessert hehe), but there's quite unique seating inside!

I ordered the BBQ salad with aforementioned shredded pork. What a masterpiece of a salad. Plenty of juicy shredded pork, lots of real bacon pieces, mixed greens, cheddar cheese, cabbage, tomatoes and onions in perfect harmony! Pour that BBQ sauce and ranch all over, and you have yourself just the ticket after hiking 7 miles! My hubby snagged the pork verde crepes which he loved too. Check out the pics! MeMe went out of her way to find me a size small t-shirt that is beautifully screenprinted with a design that celebrates both Zion Canyon and MeMe's! Check them out! Unfortunately, it was a tad too big for me but they probably have your size. The meal was very reasonable for Zion/Springdale. We ate at the Red Rock Grill at the Lodge the night before. This meal was superior and half the price. The menu here is creative and unique. I loved this lil café with a lot of clocks, a bit of funk, and a thoroughly engaging owner in MeMe herself!!

One thing to keep in mind is parking. If you arrive after 4:00 PM, parking is free when you go inside and validate it. You'll need to use an app for the validation process. I was dining solo, so I sat at the bar. The bar area is fairly large and can probably accommodate around 10-20 people. They also have a wine cellar, which is a nice feature, and a great selection of Italian favorites. I also appreciated that they were willing to customize drinks. I ordered a mojito made with vodka instead of rum, and the service at the bar was excellent. As I looked around the restaurant, I noticed the serving team was attentive and timely. The entire restaurant was very clean, and there was great attention to detail throughout--not only with the food and presentation, but also behind the bar. The bartender was new, but she was very attentive and accommodating with the changes and requests I made. Watching the kitchen as well, it was clear there was a lot of care and preparation put into every dish. The food looked great, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful.

Parking was a bit confusing with multiple QR codes--using the wrong one will result in paying to park, which could be explained better. The hostess was welcoming, and our waiter was very nice. Our drinks took quite a while to arrive, and when our meals came out, my daughter's and mine arrived, but my husband's was missing. We were told he had only ordered a salad, which wasn't correct, so his entrée had to be ordered while we ate. No one enjoys having one person at the table waiting for their meal while everyone else is finished eating. The manager explained it was our waiter's second day. I understand everyone has to learn, but new employees should be properly supported until they're comfortable. That's fair to both the employee and the customer. Unfortunately, after driving nearly an hour each way, the experience didn't live up to our expectations.
