This ice cream is FANTASTIC. Easily one of the best ice cream places I have ever been, if not the best. I never stop craving it anymore. Weve been back quite a few times in the couple weeks since we first went there. Its clean, nice seating outside, never a long wait, and the staff is super nice! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

At this point I am asking for financial compensation for my future therapy needs. I had the peanut butter blast ice cream at a shop in Lyons and it was the greatest ice cream flavor I have EVER had. The amount of ice cream Ive consumed in my 30 years is something I dont want to admit. Much to my dismay I found out that its homemade and made locally so this Minnesota girl is grieving. I will always think of this ice cream moving forward. I guess its better to love and lose, than to never love at all :(

The ice cream is very creamy and delicious, but less quantity than other local ice cream shops serve. The people working are not very well versed in customer service either, but the decor on the inside is pretty neat.

Had the Boulder Bliss, first time Ive had marshmallows in ice cream and it wasnt horrible. Simply splendid work, a Boulder staple an an eternal favorite year-round.

The display was almost sold out... got to test some flavors, eventually took the double dark chocolate and the banana 🍌... it wasn’t good at all. But the service was really good!

It was a great experience... their staffs were so nice and friendly. They engage with their customers. I sampled a couple of flavors. I am into salted caramel flavor ice cream. I didnt see it. I sampled the coffee salted caramel and i liked the taste of it so that is what i had.

One of the best local ice cream shops in town. Has both vegan, dairy free options, as well as full cream, and gelato. Pre-packed pints come with a discount which is great!

The ice cream and Gelato were very good, our real issue is with the general cleanliness of the shop. The inside table, ice cream ground into the grooves on the side of the table, the spray of something on the door to the kitchen... Please, up your cleaning process, it felt a little gross.

I love the ice cream and the people who work there are great. I really wish that the owner would spring for a new gelato freezer though. That thing is on the fritz every time Im there...

One of the best in Boulder. Don’t sleep on their Vegan flavors!!!

Review №14

Good vaiety of flavors and overall good ice cream, but thier serving sizes are small and too overpriced. Their Peanut Butter Blast flavor played into my love of peanut butter and everything Reeses, but it still wasnt enough to overcome what I felt was a poor deal. One piece of advice I would give is that their going rate for a pint of ice cream to-go is much more reasonable, but I wouldnt recommend coming here just for a scoop or two of ice cream.

Omg this is the best ice cream place in Boulder. Maybe in the whole state of Colorado. I enjoyed a medium cone of Malted Vanilla Peanut Butter and Salted Caramel Oreo. It was not an easy decision as everything looked delicious and they happily let you sample as much as you’d like! Wish I lived here so I could enjoy their ice cream on a regular basis!

Very delicious ice cream! Amazing varieties and selection. Very friendly employees.Seemed pricey for such small portions.We didnt try the Gelato but it looked good too- but cost even more than the ice cream.

This ice cream is so good. Tonight I tried the salted caramel Oreo, Key Lime pie, and Chocolate Cinnamon. All three were excellent! You must stop here if you are an ice cream buff (#punintended)!

Review №24

This place is great! Had delicious flavors to chose from and yummy gelatos. I would suggest asking for some samples, some of the stuff is not so good. The birthday ice cream is horrible, dont get it. The gelatos are the best. Inside its really funky and fun only thing is they are always super busy with not enough seating.

Review №25

WOW! We each had different flavors and they were all PHENOMENAL! After walking around, the ice cream was still a firm/smooth consistency and didnt melt. We are going to take all our friends who come to visit here to enjoy this quality ice cream! 💕

I am not from Colorado and I have strong opinions about ice cream. This is legitimately the best ice cream I have ever had. I got the pink cadillac, death by chocolate, and funky donkey. All were highest tier in my book. Service was excellent. The girl working this afternoon was super friendly and gave me some good advice as an out-of-towner. Definitely will be back anytime I am in the area!

Best ice cream!!! I dont know how they do it, but they have great quality & flavors. After sampling a lot, I went with a small cup of the Funky Donkey, I believe it is called. Peanut butter, oreos and chocolate. They have a few good dairy-free options for those who seek them.

Funky Donkey is potentially the best flavor of all time! Pink Cadillac isnt bad either... Everything is made on the premises! They offer gelato and ice cream.

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT & OVER PRICED CREAM. they advertise stuff they purposely dont sell, to get u to buy other stuff. management only cares for $, not comments, concerns, etc. no one in corporate responds to calls, voicemail, or email. wont be surprised if someone responds now, asking me to erase this. i do ignores to..to the owner: either u are ignorant or incompetent. i never been in there & didnt leave messages to be contacted, only to be ignored? all the stuff in there & no ads? i dont know what im saying? u proved my point; $ means more. if u cared, u wouldve apologized & asked for a follow up

Hands down the best ice cream in Boulder. Though the Salted Caramel Oreo needs more Salt and Caramel. :)

Good ice cream, like really really good.My only qualm is the pricing, seems a little high but I know Im paying for quality ingredients so it works out. Would definitely be in a dangerous amount if they were more competitive with grocery store prices.

Its hard to beat the quality and variety of their house made ice creams and gelatos. Indoor and outdoor seating in an unassuming shopping plaza. Friendly staff also. Glacier usually wins Best of Boulder ice cream for a reason. But with the hot weather weve been having, it looked like they needed to crank the machines a little faster!

OK, Sweet cow is my fave, but this place rocked it. One of the best real milk shakes. They have dairy free options like Mexican Chocolate. A little more expensive but you pay for what you get with quality.

Review №64

Best Ice Cream in Boulder! An array of original flavors complemented with old favorites like Rocky Road and Cookies and Cream. Simple menu but lots of options. Limited seating inside with some room for kiddos to run. Dont bring a stroller inside. Moderate prices mean its worth it. Chilled out vibe, sit down and enjoy!

So many interesting and delicious flavored to choose from! Creamy and perfectly done. The death by chocolate was dark and not too sweet. Homemade, full cream goodness. Sweet service as well. Wish they had the option for 8 tiny scoops do we could taste more flavors 😍

Glacier ice cream is absolutely delicious. Their strawberry is divine and the pralines and cream is absolutely delicious.

Best ice cream in the state, perhaps the country. Take note of their most popular flavors list, then try a bunch of them to find your favorite. Mines coffee caramel crunch. The coffee is great, oreos huge, and rivers of caramel like veins of gold through quartz.Hard pack but not really that hard. Some flavors have an almost pudding like consistency.

I tried to visit Glacier around 8 pm and the place was packed. People were standing in line about 1 ft apart, backing up to the door. I wasn’t willing to go in with such lax safety practices during the pandemic—no apparent attempt at social distancing at all.

Review №84

Fantastic local gelato. There were so many flavors to choose from, it was hard to pick. There were also regular ice cream flavors as well as sorbet for a healthier option. With both inside and outside seating, there was plenty of room and a place to enjoy the nice weather.

Review №85

Good ice cream, but small servings! When i pay $6 for two scoops of ice cream, the ice cream should be at least a little more than level with the top of the cone. Have a heart people!

My visit was pretty good but not amazing. The person who was taking my order didn’t say one word! I was just asking to take a couple samples and he didn’t reply to me. But, on the good side, the gelato was great, just a limited amount of flavors (In my opinion).

Bought a pint of Moon pie flavor ice cream at Lolita’s. It said it was marshmallow ice cream with graham cracker and fudge. There was no fudge at all. Like a smore without the chocolate. Paid 6 bucks. Total disappointment. Should have just bought Ben n Jerry’s. One star. I will never buy Glacier again. I cannot even begin to describe how much this ruined my night

Prior to visiting, I had ice cream on the brain for maybe... an hour. Since visiting, Ive had ice cream on the brain for 3 days. So so so delicious. Im telling you, this is a crave-worthy spot that Ill visit now EVERY time I head to Boulder. Kids loved it. I loved it. And now I cant think of anything else. I tried, pistacio butterscotch, and banana cream crunch or something or another. Heaven, I tell ya. HEAVEN!

Glaciers is the best! This location has great selection but can be a little busy at times. I tend to prefer the baseline location for this reason.
