Tin Cup Ice Cream & Desserts

Cute ice cream shop right off elk street. So many options, the usual “traditional” flavors and also some creative ones. We did the flight with strawberry, lemon chèvre, cinnamon cayenne honey, and sweet & salty almond. Strawberry was 4/10, meh. Almond was 6/10, good but not great. Lemon was 7/10…creamy and good flavor. Cinnamon cayenne honey 10/10…11/10! I was hesitant to get that flavor because I feel like “spicy” flavors are hard to accomplish. The balance of flavors was on point. It was sweet with a warm finish, not overly spicy. Complex flavor profile that was executed to perfection. Loved it.

Such a disappointment. The fun-looking shakes were a vacation splurge ($15!!!) and I regret it. First, they were out of ice cream flavors for several of the shakes (including vanilla!). The shakes were watery and just okay tasting. The worst part: they made us sick. So sick. Definitely never going back here.

Friendly staff and great food! A little pricey but it is to be expected at a ski resort.

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you should pass up on getting amazing ice cream treats from this establishment! Long lines, worth the wait.

My waffle was extremely burnt with black char falling off of it as I was eating it. Had a crunchy, bitter feeling while eating it that turned out to be what seemed like charcoal in the waffle. Also waited 30 minutes for my food. Extremely high prices. Would not recommend.

Seriously trying to figure out if we can get this shipped?? lol by far the best homemade ice cream I’ve had in a very long time. Easy on the tummy. Highly recommend the blueberry bergamot and honey lavender!

Dietary restrictions: They had a select few options that were dairy free if I remember correctly.

Looking forward to ice cream all day. The chocolate chip had no chips and didn’t even taste like chocolate ice cream. Maybe ice milk? Peanut butter fudge didn’t taste like peanut butter at all. I gave it 2 stars because the server was very friendly.

7:01 p.m., nobody here even though the sign says 12:00 to 9:00 p.m. everyday in the summer, too bad.

My girlfriend and friend are out in Crested Butte for a wedding and I decided to buy them an ice cream from SC, I called and got the mountain location, Chloe was extremely helpful and called to the Gunnison location and Meryl called me back, I gave a credit card over the phone with tip, told Meryl the names and sent a photo. She shocked them by calling their name's, they were the last in line for the night and received exceptional service! Thank you Meryl and Chloe at the mountain store for making their visit special! That's what customer service is supposed to be!!

Great small ice cream place. Portions are good sized and ice cream prices are definitely a good value. The ice cream (sorbet, actually) I had wasn't too sweet and had plenty of fruit bits in it. I'd say it tastes like homemade ice cream as advertised, especially with the lower sweetness. Indoor seating was good, but I have to deduct a star for the frankly dilapidated outdoor seating. The paint is chipped on all of the outdoor furniture, and they don't appear to be tended to for cleanliness.

Third bowl ice cream by the scoop ?

Great ice cream!

Really good ice cream, only authentic in Crested Butte so very good! One thing is the service was pretty unorganized and it took about 20 minutes to wait in line. Otherwise really good place.
