50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Denver

“I could never imagine not recommending this place! Delicious and such a super cool experience! He kept our toddler, 9 year old, middle schoolers and high schoolers entertained! This is a must do!!“

“Such a cool place with great ice cream!“

“My first apartment as a young woman was off Cheesman Park and I use to go to Lik’s Ice cream often. I recently visited. I think it might have had a different name back then. It appears they are still using the same refrigerated cases from the 80’s. I do not think they have painted it or have ever had an update on the inside. The cleanliness is hard to know. I was surprised by the limited number of ice cream flavors they had. I recall years ago there were more options. But they had the standards and a few different ones. The ice cream is still good. I bet they have 12 different flavors. It was busy. 90 degree weather helps business. Parking is on street and it’s not that easy to get. Some of the staff have piercings, odd colors in their hair and appear to be rockers. They are friendly. If you’re in the area an ice cream cone might be the answer for a hot day in Denver. I liked the chocolate bourbon flavor.“

“All I can say is delish!!!!🍨🍦🍧 The rolled ice cream was a smooth, tasty texture and treat! Topped with some amazing walnuts.The enthusiasm of the ice cream maker was infectious and we will be repeat clients.You won't be disappointed 😁🍨“

“My kids love this place. Great amount of selections so that you don’t feel like you don’t have enough flavors to choose from. Great mix-ins, atmosphere and family vibe. 5 stars and then some.“

“Delicious gelato, unique flavors (passion fruit is divine), great ambiance and friendly service every time! I love how the chocolate pudding isn't too sweet. Drinking chocolates are incredible, good for a cold winter's day. Highly recommend! We'll done John & Keith!“

“The food is amazing! Hicky recommend the Miami burger!“

“The ice cream and hot fudge are amazing!“

“Grew up in Michigan where pasties are a big deal, and was craving one today. Google and my stomach led me the Pasty Republic. So much satisfying goodness wrapped up in a dough hug. ❤️🤗“

“So delicious!! Can’t wait to go back!!“

“Great ice cream, made on site, with lots of toppings and cones. A must-see stop if you're in this area of Denver.“

“This is probably the best ice cream place in Denver. Their flavors are unbeatable and their service is top notch. The staff is friendly and patient. I just Wich they had more indoor seating to take cover from the hot sun. Otherwise very positive experience.“

“Delicious ice cream with interesting and unique flavors. Plus they have awesome smash burgers and fries! Seriously the burgers are great if you're into a thin cheesy double patty melt smash burger, 10/10 for that style or burger, and delicious tallow fries.

Tip: you can bring beers from next door over to Right Cream's seating area; it's all the same property and Right Cream is cool with it.“

“amazing gelato and friendly staff“

“First time trying their ice cream. Both flavors we got were very delicious.“

“Great Savory breakfast pastries, always hot and fresh. They are definitely worth the price and size.Would recommend to anybody.“

“Went into Royals ice cream shop. Was informed by Meli that they have DJs on Sundays. I love the paintings on the walls (as it gives great character) and arcade games. Meli was super friendly and very helpful. She was patient, as I couldn't decide what flavor to get.“

“Friendly staff, and delicious ice cream.“

“Grateful to find this little kiosk during my lunch walk along 16th. I requested the blue vanilla matcha latte with coconut milk half sweet. I’ve had ceremonial grade matcha sooooo this isn’t that yet it hit the spot on a hot day. I tried the black sesame latte recently and it was refreshing but I wasn’t sure what it really was. I wouldn’t travel to this side of town just to get a drink… like the song love the on you’re with… nvm… odd reference but the song immediately started playing on my head….I don’t feel a caffeine boost in the least bit yet it was tasty. Be well friends!“

“Golden lodge assisted living and memory care recently had you for an event for residents staff and families and we have heard nothing but great things! Thank you so much for being part of the community and we can't wait for the next event!“

“Discovered upon walking around Larimer Square, while it's cold outside - can't stop to visit and indulge ourselves with one of our favorite brands that we normally purchase at the grocery store, and always happy to give a visit whenever we find one.

Creamy, and satisfying as always.“

“We actually got the priceless chance to try em's when the owner brought some to an event. There was dairy and gluten free options, as well as some of the best regular ice cream I've ever had. Personal favorite was the almond joy. We may be located in northern Colorado but I will be very willing to .ake the drive for this ice cream. ♥“

“The best dairy free and gluten free ice cream I’ve ever had! Absolutely the best!!“

“Get a flight! Tincup and caramel sauce are a must.“

“Cbd root beer float. Nuff said.“

“Had some very yummy dessert at Kilwins 😋😋😋 It tastes the same here in Denver, Colorado as it does in Blowing Rock, North Carolina 😊 The ”Columbian Crew” were fantastic, helpful & friendly Staff 🌟 Bravo on your great team!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Even gave us a complimentary Sea Salt Caramel milkshake for our Anniversary 💕“

“💪😎🔥🔥🔥🔥 bomb place to go good ice cream and food and drinks“

“We were craving a tasty snack and finding this place made our day! They have an incredible variety of options, from popsicles and ice cream to fruit cups loaded with chamoy and Tajín. We were honestly blown away by all the choices and are already excited to go back.

The Food:
We ended up getting five different things, including an elote en vaso (corn in a cup) and some ice cream. I can't remember the exact flavor of ice cream I chose, but it was delicious and hit the spot on such a hot day. Their selection is huge! They have unique flavors like guava, guanábana, arroz con leche, and so much more. I definitely want to try one of their popsicles or another ice cream flavor on my next visit.

Atmosphere & Customer Service:
The atmosphere here is great, but what really made the experience stand out was the customer service. The woman working there was incredibly helpful, sweet, and patient with us while we looked at all the options. It’s a welcoming, clean spot that just puts you in a good mood.

Overall:
We spent around $27 to $30 total for all five items. Compared to other snack and ice cream shops, I felt like we got a really good amount of food for what we paid. The portions are generous and the quality is definitely there.
If you are looking for a refreshing treat and excellent service, I recommend checking this spot out!“

“Whenever I’m craving something sweet, ice cream is my go-to. I’ve visited Gelato Boy twice recently because their dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free selection is top-tier.

💰The Price:
- Small Cone (2 scoops): $6.95
- Affogato: $8.50
- They also have last batch pints in the back freezer to take home!

🍨 The Gelato:
The Island Coconut is a must-try! It tastes like real coconut not fake and has actual shredded bits. I loved it in an Affogato last week and in a Sugar Cone today. If coconut isn’t your thing, the Lemon Poppy dairy-free is another favorite of mine.

🙂 Customer Service:
The staff is always kind and full of great recommendations. They even pointed out the back freezer, where I spotted a Dairy-Free Irish Cream I’m eyeing for next time.

🚘 Parking:
You can find free street parking if you're lucky, or use the garage across from Cava (just double-check if it's free!).

✅ Overall Experience:
I keep coming back for a reason. Whether you need a dairy-free fix or a caffeine-gelato combo, you can't go wrong here.“

“Sailor and the Crumbl Team in Cherry Creek are literally the best location in the country!

I travel with Xero Accounting Software all across the US working with Small Businesses and their Accountants. Many Crumbl cookies are not prompt, unprofessional, or don't have a good attitude... COMPLETE OPPOSITE at Cherry Creek.

Sailor comes with a small, happy to help me and get my order for my clients in the most efficient manner and with a smile.

Best location in Colorado!! Thank you Sailor for working so hard and making my Wednesdays :)“

“Not an exaggeration this is the BEST ICE CREAM IN COLORADO!! I’ve lived here 8 years and tried all the great places. This place has been open 3 years and I wish I had discovered this place sooner. It’s my new go-to. Seriously next-level ingredients. All homemade ingredients or locally sourced fruits. The ice cream consistency is INCREDIBLE. They put the CREAM in Ice Cream! The owner, Diana, is super chill and so are her dogs hanging out on the patio. She could not be more happy to have you sample all the flavors. For maximum creamy ice cream flavor and chill vibes, go to Fat Batter!“

“Loved this place because of the employee working tonight. Yes, of course the ice cream was amazing but the employee was energetic, efficient and very polite.I would recommend him anywhere he works.“
