“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!”

“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!”

“We just had our 2nd night of late-night ice cream delight at Hip Hop. Tonight, it was raspberry chocolate with creme anglaise and (sorry I forgot the name) a vanillla caramel with peanut butter cups. Sorry for botching that, Chris! Go out of your way for this ice cream. It's totally worth it. I really love the fruit ice creams best - huckleberry took me back to my childhood and Grandpa freezing pints of sugared huckleberries for me to eat on a hot summer day. You can taste the love in every bite of ice cream sourced from 8 local producers. With 18 rotating flavors on the menu and a variety of toppings - excuse me - drizzles and fo'shizzles, you're sure to find your dream cream. Thanks for a momentous au revoir to Denver, Chris!”
