Tucsonans, rejoice! It has been a few years since Austin's died its dismal death, and in those years since, we've ventured down the gelato trails in search of quality locally made frozen desserts. While gelato is good—and there are some excellent gelato establishments here in town—it isn't true ICE CREAM. But Hub has come to save the day! They make their own ice cream, and it's true, premium, real, serious ice cream, in flavors like Mexican wedding cookie, salted caramel, vanilla lavender and, on a recent visit, a brilliant concoction called caliche (rocky road with a spicy kick). It's cold. It's creamy. It's magically fluffy. It feels like a silky cloud on your tongue. It's actually ice cream.
