Rockito Bandito's Ice Cream — Local services in Mesa

Okay okay. Okay so I normally don't leave reviews. And even though I'm fat and I love ice cream, I'm not doing this. Because I get any extra ice cream or extra treatment. I'm doing this because I really love entrepreneurialship. I love family businesses. I love to see the risk in hopes of seeing great reward. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm just rambling on but this place has the best ice cream like just to think that this woman sat there and made this ice cream by hand is ridiculous. When I say The taste are dead on it's just I can't explain it. You literally have to go taste it. You have to try it. The key lime is freaking key lime. The banana bread is just freaking banana bread but in an ice cream version. And I'm not talking about like nasty banana bread. I'm talking about that banana bread that has that flavor that umph... This husband, wife Duo nailed it. I'm going to be honest with you. They're just starting. The vibes are so chill. A little empty and bare decoration is great. But back to the ice cream. The ice cream is stupid. Stupid, dumb, good. Like the good kind of stupid. Not like the bad kid in school. Stupid. Listen. I am a black 46-year-old fat man and this ice cream is just it's just it's just good. It's great! It's fantastic. Like get up if you're reading my review and go get some their hours need to be a little bit more open in my opinion. And I think that will come with time. I was supposed to go in there and spend like $3. I end up spending a lot more but when I say it's worth the money, it's not overcharged. It's more than fair prices for great ice cream. Love my experience. I love you guys. I wish you...

As a fellow small business owner, I came to support their grand opening/ribbon cutting. Just as I parked, I got a call from a customer and had to leave. I wanted to stop back by, and - WOW - I am so glad I did! It's going to sound like hyperbole, but Rockito Bandito is simply the best ice cream I have tasted in a good, long while! I started with the carrot cake, because I love carrot cake. It was delicious. I then tried the butter pecan because it's generally my favorite ice cream flavor. Also amazing and better than any other butter pecan I have tasted. On to banana bread...mind blown. And then they encouraged me to try the key lime. I love key lime pie, but this was even better than pie - if you know me, that says a lot! I walked out with a poquito cup of key lime because it was a perfect balance of tart and sweet. All of the flavors I tried were amazing. They put home baked ingredients into home made ice cream, so there are chunks of banana bread, carrot cake, and key lime pie in the ice cream. The ice cream base is deliciously creamy and just the right level of soft. I will be going way out of my way to come here in the future. Like I told the owners, everyone is going to wonder when they plan to open a location in their neck of the woods, but it's worth...

Rockito Bandito’s Ice Cream is a hidden gem in Mesa!

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the heart and soul of this mom-and-pop, veteran-owned shop. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owners treat every customer like family. You can tell right away that this isn’t just ice cream—it’s passion in a scoop.

Their ice cream is rich, creamy, and made without preservatives or artificial dyes, which makes the flavors stand out even more. The “Poquito Scoop” is such a fun idea—just the right size for when you want a little sweetness without overdoing it. Every flavor I tried had that perfect homemade quality you just don’t get from big chains.

I also love that they give back to the community, offering a discount for military, police, fire, and EMTs. It shows how much they care and honor the people around them.

If you’re looking to support local, enjoy high-quality treats, and experience true small-business hospitality, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for...
