50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wheat Ridge

“The cookies and cream ice cream would be my death-row last meal request. I think about it all the time. Literally no other cookies and cream I’ve ever tried stands up to it. Seriously. It’s made with vanilla base but looks like chocolate because the cookie-to-ice-cream ratio is so high. Never change. 🙏“

“I love getting/giving ICE CREAM CAKES FROM DAIRY QUEEN‼️🥳‼️💜💜‼️😍“

“I somewhat regularly come by here after dog walks like today. At the drive thru window today, the employee recognized my regularity and asked about my pronouns so she could use the correct ones. As a transperson, this is a significant gesture of kindness and respect we typically appreciate quite a lot! Thank you!“

“Such a cool place with great ice cream!“

“Best ice cream I ever had and I live in California if I get a chance, I definitely want to come back in town for the Broncos game?“

“More fun than a barrel of monkeys! And different choices of the finest quality!“

“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!“

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

“Sure as the sun rises every day, this place is likely to have a line out the door. It’s nice to see some familiar faces working behind the counter nowadays and they seem to have things dialed in a little better than in the past. The flavor selection is interesting and their rotational flavors change often enough you will find something new to love every time you go in. Parking can be a nightmare on pearl but you can park in the neighborhood and hike over.

My only gripe (and warranting a 1 star penalty) is the absence of their best flavor from their core menu. In a savage and deeply personal attack against me, the chief cow decided some years back to discontinue PB&J due to “slow sales”. Apparently eating a double scoop every day for three years for lunch wasn’t enough to maintain the product mix numbers system wide so they broke my heart and tanked it. I’m only half joking but management if you’re reading this know that wound still hurts. Bad.“

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

They are super friendly with kids and they can let you try many flavors with such a positive actitud ! I highly recommended this place, we came on Monday was kind slow and perfect for enjoy because I can be very sure weekend here are packed because they are really good!

“Awesome hole-in-the wall! Came from Texas for a concert & meanwhile scoping the area we stumbled across this cool place & received a warm and friendly welcome even though it was late. Definitely worth the stop & will recommend to others who plan on visiting! The guy told us about the struggles his family business has had, really nice guy, I hope his business gets more foot traffic!!“

“Wow I’m still thinking about this! Power Cone will definitely be my new go to ice cream spot. You can really taste that this soft serve was made with good ingredients and the employees were so passionate and knowledgeable about their products. Can’t wait to return!!“

“My friends & I had time to kill before our flight and saw this place on google maps so we set off on a walk to find this place. We got there just at the right time because a line started to form.

Worth the wait and it looked like they were using ceremonial grade matcha! (which is why the drink may take a while - it requires precise steps, for those that don’t know). There was also only one person working when we got there - we probably waited a total of 10 mins for 5 drinks (which makes sense since whisking probably takes about a min or so & the other min is probably for preparing the drink).

Each of us got a flavored matcha (I got strawberry) & my husband got regular matcha. After tasting both, I much prefer the regular matcha!

Overall, glad we made the 15 min trek in the cold for this place - the matcha made us happy!“

“Such a cool place with great ice cream!“

“I’ve been a loyal customer of Pinkberry for over 10 years, starting back in Palo Alto, California. When I moved to Colorado, one of the things I missed the most was my favorite frozen yogurt. So I was really excited to find out there’s a location here.

In my opinion, Pinkberry still stands out as one of the freshest and most delicious frozen yogurt spots. The quality is always consistent, the flavors are amazing, and it doesn’t feel overpriced compared to other places.

I even drive from Colorado Springs just to get it and it’s absolutely worth it every time.

Definitely a go-to spot whenever I’m craving frozen yogurt.“

“amazing Icecream concept, a must to go if you are in Denver!“

“We love God Save the Cream for our events as they have such a great variety of ice cream, they set up fast, have fun toppings, and also cater to our DF/GF friends that have dietary restrictions!“

“We tried the Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavors, and both were very enjoyable. The ice cream was rich and flavorful without being overly sweet, which made it easy to enjoy. Overall, it was a tasty treat that felt well-balanced and not too heavy or sugary.“

“I love there corn in a cup“

“Cory was the greatest when I ordered from California for a delivery to a Littleton hospital. She was more than polite, businesslike, friendly and a pleasure to do business with. Her delivery was made, as ordered, as promised. Cudos“

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

“Great Customer service! The salesperson was very patient with the 9 kids we brought over there and got all of their orders correct! Not to mention it was so good!!“

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

“The Heaven with coconut milk will always be my ultimate favorite, but their Taro with coconut milk is not far behind!

The only downsides about this location are #1 the music was a bit too loud that conversation with the staff was nearly impossible. Everyone was trying to lean over the ice cream displays to hear each other. And #2 the chai latte is actually super sweet and sugary despite us being told otherwise!

But outside of those two things, the location is bright and modern in its decor and feel! It’s off the busy olde town path but worth the tiny walk to enjoy!“

“Cbd root beer float. Nuff said.“

“We can't wait to go back! The food and drinks are delicious. The staff are friendly, respectful, and attentive. Great price on everything, you get a lot for what you pay and it's good quality. This is my new favorite spot for sure. Love it here!“

“So glad we found Dante's! They have a great selection of amazingly homemade ice cream! The young man who was working, I believe he's name was Knox, was so polite and sweet! Great customer service! I want the owner's know that he is a great ambassador for your business, he was very proud of the ice cream you make there and he was doing a great job! Our family will definitely be back!“

“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.“
