The Thai Tea ice cream is to die for. Cool people, beautifully decorated. I was talking with one of the employees and he said the owners wife is an illustrator and graphic designer. Their restaurant and art shows this mix of several African art styles blended together woth a modern twist. They take a lot of pride in the artistic value of their experience.

Extremely enjoyable experience. Curt, (the owner) is enthusiastic about the ice cream and in greeting his customers. A beautiful shop with the addition of nice patio space in the rear of the ice shop. The ice cream is delicious BTW.

Took a date here after visiting the oddities shop next door. The owner here is passionate about good coffee and ice cream and it really shows in his products. He greeted us immediately when we entered and explained his menu and their most popular items. Good thing he did because we were immediately sold on some nitro cold brew floats. It was the perfect treat to cool off on a hot afternoon. The ice cream was especially amazing so we had to get some more on our way out. We will definitely be back.

The owner was very friendly in going over his menu since my family and I hadnt been here before. He even brought us out a sample of his new product he is making! I highly recommend stopping by and checking him out .

Holy cow was this a great experience! My partners parents were visiting from the Midwest and are a bit of a hard sell. The owner of the shop was extremely helpful and welcoming and really won them (and us) over! The ice cream was an experience as well, you can truly tell the difference between real made ice cream like they do here! I cannot wait to come again and honestly, will have a hard time going anywhere else!

This ice cream is out of this world. The flavors and texture are next level. The owner is so friendly as well. Cannot recommend enough.

Excellent 🍨+ ☕ experience. The owner really knows how to combine wonderful delights! Stop by and treat yourself.

Unimpressed and probably wont be back for awhile if at all. I love supporting black businesses, so I was very disappointed to go out of my way, on my way home from a long day of work, to visit this ice cream shop that had an array of amazing and unique flavors. When I arrived and paid for parking, I walked around to the front door of the store only to find it locked. They still had 3 hours left before they closed so I knocked on the door. A head popped up and a gentleman walked up to the door. I asked if they were still open, and he pointed to a handwritten sign saying that they were sold out. So you are telling me you are sold out of all of your ice cream flavor and all of your ingredients for your coffee products, so much to the point you would have to shut down three hours early?? This is a business in the heart of downtown Denver and right across from East H.S. home of thousands of students, and you are simply sold out of everything. The person who opened the door said they hoped I would return, but why would I go out of my way a second time only to waste gas on a possibility that they wont be open because they are sold out. This speaks nothing about the quality of their ice cream, because I didnt even have the privilege to step inside of the door.

I bought two flavors of ice cream and I didnt like them both. They are toooooo sweet. A lot, a lot of sugar! I cant eat it. Also the chocolate wasnt dark enough, in my opinion could content more cacao.The staff seems nice. I just dont like to spend money on things I dont like😂

Perhaps the best most unique ice cream I’ve ever had. The nitro cold brew coffee is also on point. Hope to purchase by the growler one day…yes, it’s that good.

This place is amazing! A local black owned shop with service, character, and pure deliciousness. I was told the cold brew ice cream float would change my life and it did not disappoint! The float is unlike anything else around and Im so glad I found it. I work across the street so this new obsession is going to cost me some $$$ but totally worth it.

This place has some of the best ice cream flavors I’ve ever tried. If you’re tired of the standard ice cream shop flavors, you definitely want to visit. The owner was closing up when we got there and still took the time to sample some new flavors for us and we tried everything from sweet to spicy ice creams. The store itself is adorable and there’s a patio although we didn’t go out to sit. Absolutely a new fave

Friendly and delicious! The patio is great, this place is an oasis on colfax. We had foxy brown and brickle butter, I cant wait to try the rest!

Just went to this place for the first time and I am absolutely blown away by how good and unique these ice cream flavors are! Not to mention the whiskey barrel aged cold brew with the scoop of ice cream, wow.Also, the owner has an absolutely incredible personality. Will be going back here again, except Ill be bringing friends!

The flavors are so unique, got four different ones and they were all awesome! Definitely a must try if youre in the area, but you should go, even if youre not in the area. Worth the trip!

The cold brew float is amazing!

Yooooo the cinnamon cold brew with brickle ice cream is THE TRUTH!!! Christ this is delicious

This is an incredible small business. Great ice cream, great iced coffee, and great customer service. Ill be back!

We need to talk about this ice cream!Not sure how I missed out for so long, but as soon as I found out that Smith + Canon had a thai iced flavor ice cream, I came running. I love thai tea AND I love ice cream!Smith + Canon makes small batch ice cream with very unique flavors including a honeydew wasabi (dew sabi), strawberry habanero (strawbenero), thai ice tea, butterbrickle, and many more. The ice cream is Philly-style, meaning it does not contain eggs, but still maintains a creamy consistency. Besides ice cream, they also offer affogatos, root beer floats, nitro cold brew floats, and coffee.Right now, they are offering half pints, pints, and quarts for pick-up, delivery, or as a walk-in. I seriously cant believe I have gone so long without their ice cream. My absolute favorite is the thai tea, but my husband is in love with their peanut butter cup.I know multiple people have already said it, but we also believe Smith + Canon DOES have the best ice cream in town! Definitely worth checking them out if you have not before.I did notice that when I first initially did pickup, the ice cream was the perfect consistency by the time I got home. When we recently had the ice cream right away, it was fairy hard (likely so it doesnt melt like crazy on the way home), but we had to let the ice cream melt first. The texture appears to make a huge difference, and we prefer it melted a bit, but still firmer than soft serve. The flavors are so bold and really pop here.Also, the owner is incredibly friendly!! This is definitely my new favorite ice scream spot!Well done, Smith + Canon!

Delicious! You won’t find these ice cream flavors at the supermarket or other stores. I recommend the foxy brown nitro cold brew float. The spicy mango was sweet forward with a spicy finish. The texture of the ice cream is softer than other brands. Friendly and informative staff. A must try for ice cream lovers.

Amazing, unique ice cream flavors and awesome coffee! Owner is very nice and gives a great run-down of the menu.

What a fantastic artisanal ice cream and coffee experience! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable on both. We really enjoyed the patio out back as well!

Curt is passionate about coffee and ice cream... I dont drink coffee but his ice cream is amazing!! We had the peanut butter cup and the butterbrickle... both were rich, amazing flavors!!

This place is awesome! Came in right before closing and the owner still stayed late to not only serve us but to also tell us all about the coffee and the ice cream. I had a cold brew float and I can’t over sell it: it was amazing. One of the best, new, and innovative ways I’ve had coffee and ice cream in a while. If you’re wavering on where to get coffee and/or ice cream in the area— consider your decision made.

Nitro Float with cardamon, definitely worth while coffee

Excellent coffee. Excellent ice cream. Spoke to the owner and he was very passionate about his work. He did an excellent job guiding us through the menu. They also have access to a very nice patio shared with a few other businesses in the area. I highly recommend this place.

Super delicious ice cream and coffee. Their flavors are always changing and always interesting. Theyre not stuck in traditional styles, yet everything we had would appeal to an ice cream traditionalist. Very cute and comfortable environment as well.

So so so good. Best ice cream, best coffee. What does that make? A match made in heaven. And I’m knockin’ on those pearly gates, strolling through the streets of gold. The owner greeted me with a smile and walked me through the entire menu, offering helpful recommendations on their most popular flavors. I was impressed with his enthusiasm and dedication to the brand. I ordered a cold brew float, affogato, and cup of the Thai tea ice cream. If you love Thai tea (or even if you don’t), it blew my socks right off. Just kidding, I’m wearing sandals. But you understand what I’m saying, right? I am so excited to return! Come here if you’re looking for a trendy and delicious afternoon pick me up/treat. :)

This place is AMAZING. The man who owns it is so nice and personable and hes a flavor genius. This ice cream is worth the calories. And the coffee might be the best Ive had in Denver. For next-level delight, get an affogato (ice cream in coffee). You wont be disappointed.

So bomb... Adulting like a child on the back patio! Nitro cold brew coffee floats. My son and i were looking for milkshakes and ended up here... Big thumbs up 👍

Possibly the best Ive cream Ive ever had. Love the flavors. The people who work there are really nice. Definitely recommend giving this spot a try!

Fantastic ice cream (with that real cream texture) in super unique flavors, and awesome coffee! Even better when you mix the two together in an affogato or nitro cold brew float! The owner is awesome and took time to guide us through the menu, and clearly loves his work. Worth every penny!

Such a fun and delicious place. The owner was very excited and knowledgeable about his product, which made it really fun. The cold brew coffee float is a perfect summer treat especially when enjoyed in there lovely courtyard.

Smith+Canon has delicious ice cream and coffee. We loved the black coffee ice cream and nitro cold brew with vanilla ice cream float. The customer service was excellent and the back patio was very comfortable.

INCREDIBLY delicious ice cream! My personal favorite is the peanut butter cup. Super Nice staff too. They have a very nice shaded patio which was very clean and a nice place to enjoy ice cream!Covid 19 update: They are only doing half-pints not cones.

Awesome place with a ton of ice cream and coffee options. Prices are some of the best for this quality. Amazing patio out back! I do wish there were some baked treats, though!

Once you arrive its clear why this incredible ice cream store has all 5 star reviews. The flavors are nothing short of astonishing and the ice cream is beyond delicious. I had Thai iced tea flavor which tasted exactly like a Thai iced tea, super yummy. My son had peanut butter cup which was chocolate ice cream peanut butter cup mixed in and absolutely delicious! And I dont even like peanut butter cups!!! The shop it self is super clean and very beautiful with live edge shelves and nice décor. One of the other incredibly nice things about this ice cream shop is the gal who served us was incredibly sweet and personable and told us the story of the shop and how nice the owners are. Its such a pleasure to review such a great locally owned shop! Finally, the patio out back (which has nice shade and is very clean and beautiful) is worth mentioning, it was so lovely to sit outside during these covid days and have plenty of social distance from everyone else and enjoy ice cream.

Stopped in after visiting the Denver Zoo and had a delicious Foxy Brown nitro float and Salty Carmel bowl on the quiet back patio. Nice owner described all the flavors and helped me try something new. Thanks.

Quick service and a smile! World class ice cream fast. Try Foxy Brown!

I tried the nitro cold brew float with foxy brown ice cream. It was delicious. Great customer service. I will definitely be back for more.

This review is late because I came in 2019, but it seriously was so amazing. I was just thinking about it and I thought I better leave a good review. I came when the owner was working and he was so kind and gave the ultimate experience and the ice cream was phenomenal.

Came in to try it out on a family trip from NC, absolutely loved everything the atmosphere the vibes.I got a foxy brown ice cream mixed with coffee and ive been dreaming of another since. I hope sometime in the future your company expands to NC !

Super awesome place with a super awesome owner.The ice cream flavors are delectable and sooo different. The honey dew wasabi was so interesting and reminded me of chocolate labs white chocolate wasabi foam. Had a taster of the spicy mango and that was incredible! The Thai tea and brickle won my taste buds over and it was spectacular. Ill be back for my affogato!Well worth the trip down Colfax.They are supposedly known for their nitro cold brew ice cream floats, but were sold out when I came in. I cant wait to come back and try!The decor was awesome, the ice cream was amazing, now Ill have to try the coffee.. (also when its not late at night)

I think this is the best ice cream i’ve ever had. so creamy, natural, flavors are delicious - i would recommend the THAI TEA flavor if you like the tea, it’s amazing. friendly staff and knowledgeable owner.

Amazing!! The ice cream and coffee float is simply to die for.. and the owner was incredible. He told us all about the coffee and how he got started. Dont skip Smith+Cannon!

Stopped by on a (hot 78F) lunch break to try this place out. The owner was there and so excited about his coffee line-up and flavors. I love his energy! And the ice cream flavors are fantastic. Tanjingo will pair nicely with any dinner party dessert with mangos and strawberries, maybe even a little chocolate fondue!Great addition to the Colfax block.

Such a unique idea. Nitro coffe float with fresh ice cream. also the owner is the nicest guy in the world

Owner was sweet, the flavors were great, and we’d definitely come back again! We were even thinking about grabbing another nitro to share after we finished our first ones.

Amazing atmosphere! Service was great, we walked in and they were giving samples. There was a lot of high energy, which was great. You knew they were passionate about their job! We stopped in for ice cream but have to come in and try their coffee. They were very encouraging to come back in for coffee. Love the enthusiasm they had. Good vibes all around!

I LOVED visiting this place. Dont let the Ice Cream part of the name fool you, theyre serious about their coffee and it is equally consistent and strong. As someone who loves affogatos the most of espresso offerings, I was delighted to be presented with three options (nitro cold brew float, house Smith and Canon (americano), and traditional). We tried the latter two and thoroughly enjoyed it. Curt, the owner, knows what hes doing and is earnedly proud of it. Ill certainly be back often.

Absolutely love this place, coffee and ice cream float just when an adult needs in a hot summer day.

Yum! What a great little local spot. Delicious unique flavors. The Dew Sabi, a honeydew wasabi creation, blew my mind! The shop has their own beans, fresh every week. Patio in the back is super cute, can’t wait to frequent in the summer.

Deliciousness!!! I come thru every time I’m in town and I’m never disappointed. As my grandma would say, this is some gooooooodddddd cream 💯

The owner is very passionate about this Ice Cream and business. I would highly recommend you give this place a try. The Nitro cold Brew with ice cream is amazing!

Excellent coffee, Ill be back to try the ice cream!

Literally the best, my boyfriend used to work down the street and still makes the trip to get me ice cream: the Thai tea and foxy brown are amazing!

Came in for a affagato, got a warm welcome from Curt, the owner. I got a cold nitro float, which was awesome. this is not just an ice cream shop, it is also a good coffee shop. the spicy flavors are for adults and is not a gimmick. the melon wasabi is just so good

So amazing. Curt, the owner, is a mad genius. The flavors he has created are alchemy incarnate, and his customer service is only outshown by his passion. Walking into Smith and Cannon is one of the most welcoming experiences Ive ever had.

Cant say enough about Curt and his love of community, love of insanely good ice cream, and coffee. The man has a passion for his craft, you need to check this place out!

This place is so unique! We tried the nitro floats. The butterbrickle ice cream was life changing. So delicious!! Also the dude behind the counter was so friendly and helpful :)

GET THE NITRO FLOAT WITH FOXYYY BROWN!!!! OMG THE BEST!!

This place is amazing. Truly some of the best ice cream Ive ever had. The Butterbrickle affogato is one of my favorites. Highly recommend this place

Kurts the man! Came in with some friends an hour before closing, he walked us through all the flavors and introduced us to the world of nitro floats. Will definitley come again when Im back 8n Denver!

Super friendly and informative staff. The ice cream is boss.

Fantastic ice cream and a really cool spot with awesome combinations for ice cream and coffee if you want it

Edible gold! The ice cream is smooth and packed with flavor. The Thai Tea is to die for!

Spicy! Love it. Really wanted to try the Strawbenero, but they were out. 😥

Best coffee and ice cream in Denver! Excellent experimental flavors like honey dew wasabi or cinnamon bun hot chocolate. Owner always super friendly as well!

Loved the ice cream, loved the cold brew, LOVE this small batch shop!

I was out running errands with my two teenagers and I thought why not check out this ice cream shop. Boy was I glad we did. Two of my favorite things ☕️ 🧡 and ice cream 🍨 💛. My teenagers love the flavors they got. We were happy 😃 people. You gotta check this place out. Amazing product and great customer service. Hand crafted ice cream and coffee it is worth the trip. 👍👍

We walked in to get ice cream and found out this quaint shop is for both ice cream and coffee! The owner was very nice and clearly very passionate about his business and coffee. I sampled three different ice creams one of which was an exquisite butter brickle and a really good chocolate ice cream with a good kick of cayenne in it. Turns out you can get ice cream floats with nitro coffee 😊. They open at six during the week days to meet your caffeine needs and it supports small business. I will definitely be back for a nitro kick one morning.

Amazing ice cream and nitro brew float!!

We tried the Salted Caramel, Dew Sabi, Butterbrickle, and Xmas Chai, along with a butterbrickle coffee. The flavors may be the best ice cream I have ever had, and the coffee is so good.The Dew Sabi was really different than any ice cream I’ve ever had, what with the interplay of the heat of the wasabi and the coolness of the melon. Not so much balance, but a back and forth of the two. Nifty in the mouth.Curt, the owner, was manning the ship, and he obviously has a passion and gift. The deep community love and admiration of this establishment seems well justified.6 stars.

Best icecream in the game & the owner is a gem

Besides the incredible ice cream and coffee this place also has a great back patio to hang out on- you’ll forget you’re on Colfax and the patio is shared with a tap room. So great ice cream, coffee, and beers in a sweet space, what more can you want?

Super cool spot you dont want to miss!

I had read that this was the best Ice Cream in the state, and the 3 of us that went believe it. This is a must stop in place in Denver, the friendly service was great, and the Ice Cream is too good to describe. I literally dream about this Ice Cream now and it is the Ice Cream I will compare every other Ice Cream against for all time.

Friendly customer service. Foxy Brown and Dew Sabi ice cream flavors are delicious.

Get the foxy brown or dew sabi! Amazing

THE BEST ICE CREAM IN DENVER! The owner Kurt is amazing and will take his time helping you figure out what flavors you like. They have some amazing combinations that most people wouldnt think of like wasabi melon. I personally love the Foxy Brown, but there is a flavor for everyone!

Best (and most unique) tasting ice cream in Denver & the owner is awesome

Amazing ice cream, and the owner is lovely and so kind every visit!

You must get the Nitro Cold Brew float. Also, has a very nice owner.

Easily the best ice cream in Denver and we have tried a lot of ice cream.

The first time I ever visited this place, I went back a few hours later for another cold brew and a scoop of foxy brown ice cream. I was awake all night but it was delicious and worth it. The employees are also super friendly. They make it feel like more than an ice cream and coffee place. Its a community spot.

Don’t delay. Get some before they sell out!

Still my favorite ice cream/coffee shop in Denver. The friendliest, most helpful owner who is clearly proud of his product and his work.

The most delicious place, They has different flavors and El chupacabra was spicy and delicious and when you mix it with Butterbrickle are a glorious combination.

Whoa!! I think I’ll be dreaming about this place until I return again! Went in for a coffee and left with a ‘coffee float!’ Had the butter brickle ice cream in the whiskey barrel cold brew and learned a new word: affogato (The cold brew mixed with ice cream)!The owner, Curt, is so nice snd so proud of his wonderful shop... as he should be! Infinitely better than Starbucks. Support local!!!

Friendly service and delicious ice cream! The flavors were unique and SO good. The dew sabi flavor was the most interesting (in the best way) ice cream flavor I have ever had. However, I couldnt pass up a nitro cold brew ice cream float. Amazing and would definitely recommend!

Not only is the ice cream delicious but the owner is so enthusiastic about his product!

I just wanted somewhere to buy water as I was running errands in the area. I found this place and decided to try the ice cream because why not? I ended up with a coffee float...OMG, it was amazing. It was so good, I took a pint of the ice cream back to my grandparents for dessert. They said it was the best ice cream theyve ever had (they are in their 90s and lived all over the world so that is saying something). I was bummed because he also just ran out of this coffee that had a bourbon twist of sorts -- such an appreciation for flavors in every product he had or made! I dont live in Colorado anymore, but when I come back to visit, this is the first place I want to go!

Foxy brown is the best ice cream I’ve ever had 💜

We LOVE this eclectic local gem! Most incredible flavors you can imagine and coffee to die for!

Kurt was awesome! Made this a blast to grab some ice cream and cold brew coffee! Highly recommend coming in.

Super yummy ice cream. The owner explained all the flavors exactly how they tasted.

A dope experience! Will be back for new flavors (and coffee)!

Worked my morning errands around going to Smith and Cabin only to find they were not open at 10:45 and no one answered the phone.

Met the owner. Would come back/recommend. Try the Tai Iced Tea flavor ice cream.

Pretty weird place honestly. Wish it was better as I love these kinds of little local spots and I’m willing to pay a little extra for quality, but this place is a bit much. An ice cream joint that doesn’t sell cones or dishes is just strange. I stopped in to just get some ice cream for myself and the smallest amount was a half pint, which cost a little more than $8 after tax. That’s quite a bit for ice cream. Quality was fine, I’d give it an 8 out of 10, but nothing crazy good.
