“Gluten free & vegan options! First ice cream shop I’ve ever been to that made their own GF cones, so yummy! They have a wide selection of gelato, ice cream, & vegan flavors. Everything we’ve tried has been good, they have some basic flavors and also always some interesting new flavors too.Huge plus is many (all?) of the vegan flavors are made with non-nut bases, which was important for a dairy & nut allergy friend!Much appreciated that they have actual seating inside (unlike a lot of ice cream shops); it makes it nice to come even when the whether is bad because you can actually enjoy your ice cream inside at real tables! The owners are super nice and extremely welcoming, it’s clear they really care about this place and their ice cream!“

“Tried Sweet Cow a couple of days ago and it was delicious! They have flavors ranging from your traditional cookies and cream to more unique flavors, such as malted milk ball. I ordered a double scoop of bananas foster and oatmeal cookie, which was generously packed into a house made waffle cone. The bananas foster tasted like caramelized bananas, and had chunks of real bananas scattered throughout the scoop. Heavenly. The oatmeal cookie tasted exactly like an oatmeal cookie. I don't know how they did it, but they nailed the cinnamon-y raisin-y flavor. Oh, and they had pieces of oatmeal cookie in there as well. If you're in the mood for some upper-echelon ice cream, Sweet Cow is the move.“

“We went into Crumbl in Boulder to get some cookies and as soon as we walked in the system went down. The girl that helped us was Shayla and I could see that she was trying her best to help everyone as they could not take any payments. She offered the person in front of us and us the cookies for free. That is the best service I received in the 4 Crumbl stores I have visited across Colorado. Thank you Shayla and I hope your boss recognizes your effort to give the best customer service you could under the circumstances in which you couldn’t control.“

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Shop • $
1203 Pearl St, Boulder

“We catered Ben & Jerry's for a work event last week and everyone had an amazing time! I would highly recommend catering Ben & Jerry's for a work event. We had nearly 150 people come down and the serving was done quickly and clearly. The prices of each of their catering options was very reasonable. Their default option comes with three flavors of your choice but you can add more flavors for only $25. They have dairy free, gluten free, and vegan options too (which honestly tasted really good! you'd never know they weren't just regular ice cream ingredients). You pay per serving, which is two scoops per person in the standard option that we chose.Sydney was our main point of contact through email correspondence and was also our scooper at the event. She was always very clear, kind, and patient in explaining the policies and arrived early to set up before the event. Their contract language is flexible while also clear and simple. Paying for it was done after the event and was also very easy. Everyone had an amazing experience and we are looking forward to doing more of these in the future! Thank you so much Sydney, and Ben & Jerry's!“

Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream Shop • $$

“Love Cold Stone Creamery in Boulder! It's not the best ice cream ever because it is a chain, but it's still delicious. The chocolate dipped waffle cups are so good and fun. It's buy one get one free if you're a CU student on Tuesday and they're open till 10 which is what makes it so popular! It does get crowded but it's worth it! The service has always been great when I go there.“

Banana Split

“This is a lovely Dairy Queen, as far as I 'm concerned. I've lived in the area for 20+ years and have never experienced any of the kinds of negative things I see here in the reviews. Especially under the most recent manager, I think they've done a great job of keeping the place tidy and friendly - and the ice cream is great! The manager even went out of his way to figure out how to remake a seasonal order for me (s'mores blizzard) without the traditional materials! What a sweetheart !! ❤️“

“Was in Boulder with my daughter for a CU admitted student event. Very close to campus and parking was easy to find on side streets just a few blocks away. Great menu options and even a quick grab-n-go section too! I was offered a sample of their homemade sweet potato curry soup and it was amazing! I ended up ordering a cup with my BLT on sourdough. So good! My daughter had the buffalo chicken sandwich and she ate every last bite! That never happens :)Atmosphere was great and owner was super friendly and providing great suggestions on selections. I was a little sad I didn’t get to sit in the hand so I’ll definitely have to come back and try that out. It was still nice to have a front row window seat of Pearl Street. If you are in Boulder and want goos food with a friendly vibe, definitely check this place out!“
