Ice Cream Shops near Manitou Springs

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! I wanted to recreate a childhood memory for someone special who used to visit Pikes Peak Chocolate years ago, and Danielle went above and beyond to help me make that happen. She was friendly, quick to respond, and made the whole process easy — even adding a personal touch when shipping the order. The fudge arrived fast, beautifully packaged, and absolutely perfect. It’s rare to find that kind of care and heart behind a small business these days. Thank you again, Danielle and the Pikes Peak Chocolate team — you made someone’s week!“

“Absolutely delicious! Best ice cream in town.“

“We've been coming to Manitou as a family for 20+ years and Mountain High is always a friendly and worthy place to pop into. We're proud to share a particularly unique experience we shared recently with MH and one especially kind, present and attentive young employee.

This past NYE, my daughter Lucy and I ended up in Mountain High Gallery and Gifts after a little arcade fun. We were welcomed as we came in(as always!) and after finding just the right souvenir for my teen daughter Lucy (who has Down Syndrome), we headed over to check out.

Coral greeted us with the warmest welcome and began talking to Lucy. She asked if we wanted ice cream, which was part of our reason for being there. I could tell immediately Lucy really liked Coral, and if you know my daughter she is very bashful with most people -- it takes some warming up! We then went outside to eat our ice cream. We didn't initially leave Coral a tip, because I knew I would have to dig around in my Mom purse for it 😆

I later asked Lucy if she wanted to tip the sweet young lady in the store and she said Yes! (another thing she would normally wouldn't care to do) We walked back in and I told Coral that Lucy had a little something for her, and she brought her the money. Coral asked Lucy if she could have a hug and Lucy of course said Yes. It was a very special and precious moment! Coral continued making conversation with Lucy, asking if she had siblings, told her she had beautiful hair, just sweet small talk that made her feel special. It was a moment that restores your faith in humanity. Simple, genuine kindness!“

“Amazing stop for funnel cake fries!!! The strawberry dipping sauce is best, though the chocolate was pretty good too. I absolutely love this place. The guy working was so friendly and helpful. Easily one of the best spots in Manitou Springs.“

“Delightful frozen treats! Super creamy and rich ice cream, and the fresh made waffle cones were the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!“

“Been going here since 1978. A linchpin, would be lost without it..“

“Great flavors and variety of topping. Staff is always friendly.“

“The ladies here handled our big bus full of crazy kids with open arms. We filled the store with almost 40 people and yet, they didn't bat an eye. We did call ahead, but still. Everyone left happy and really enjoyed the quality service and ice cream. Hubby even liked the chocolate shake and he is a tough critic. His only complaint was the babes liked it even more so there was a power struggle over the straw. Highly recommend.“
