If your ever in Denver and want an after dinner treat, check this place out! I had half cherry and half lemon ice freeze. You can have it scooped out for you at the counter or buy it already packaged by the pint as well as ice cream ($5 to $6) And they have pre made ice cream sandwiches( have a knife ready) and 2 pop tarts with ice cream nestled in the middle!(Giant) Love the pictures on the wall of celebrities eating ice cream. It was 2 very generous scoops for around $5.50 not bad. They had a smaller and larger sizes. This fat girl was not disappointed!! It was front door street parking. But we went at 9:30 pm
This well-decorated, small local joint is a great, casual ice-cream creator! Pleasantly surprised with the flavors, they have a wide range of ice-cream-related treats that are very impressive I.e. ice cream sandwiches, pints to go, cannoli, etc. I had the dark cookies n cream which I highly, highly recommend! My second flavor was also good, just not as stand-out in my opinion. No tastings during the pandemic, which is fine as the employees give very helpful explanations to each flavor. Overall, great joint, would return.
This is my mos favorite ice cream shop ever!!!!!! Fantastic service always with a smile, price is definitely spot on you pay for quality and decent quantity. Always have a cycle of fresh flavors. Most satisfying ice cream joint I have ever been to. Love this place!!!
I live in the neighborhood and have seen prices for this place go through the roof. While I love picking up a cone on my way home it’s just a bit too much to pay $7 for a single scoop cone. Not sure what’s going on with the pricing model as places that make their ice cream from scratch are charging far less, but I will think twice before dropping in.
I cant eat ice cream but they have eight flavors of Italian ice. Im addicted. They have me buying ice on Colfax. I love ice cream riot.
Great fresh 8cecream and creamy icees....one owner so opens later at. Noon,which is what bothers me but theyve got unique sandwiches,homemade waffle ones and 50c toppers!🤙😆
Whatever is going on with the owner of this shop, I hope he gets the help he needs, because he’s not okay. After asking about potential risk of nuts in the product with a friend with a food allergy, a younger person working here was helpful and responsive, but the owner was dismissive, rude, and disrespectful when asked for additional information. He asked my friend why she couldn’t just choose something from the freezer rather than taking the younger worker up on her offer to clean an ice cream scoop and make her something fresh. He continued with aggressive sighing, eye rolling, and ultimately snatching the ice cream scoop from the younger worker and taking over, slamming the ice cream down on the counter at us without making eye contact or saying anything. The ice cream itself is subpar, but would’ve tasted sweeter with just a little bit of compassion and grace for someone just trying to have an ice cream and not die.
The ice cream was “ok” but nothing special. I wouldn’t waste my time driving there and trying to find a place to park. The man working there whether he was an employee or the owner needs to take a class in customer service. He made us feel like we were a total imposition........
The service was very nice but the icecream was unfortunately not so flavourful as I thought it was going to be.
Lovely ice cream shop, very friendly and the water ice was delicious. I got the cherry mixed with lemonade. The prices are very reasonable.
Cool local ice cream shop, love the ice cream picture decor. Enjoyed my Trix ice cream.
The flavors and amount provided were terrific! Great way to end a night
Lots of amazing flavors. The cinnamon was sweet but not a cinnamon sugar sweet but focusing on the cinnamon flavor. The oatmeal cream pie tasted just like the little Debbie oatmeal cream pie. The Nutella was like taking a spoonful of Nutella with a glass of milk. The dirty cookies and cream was oreo overloaded (if you like Oreos then this is definitely not a bad thing).
Amazing shake! Giant 24oz. Got the cherry shake. It was so good. My wife had the canolli
They freeze their ice cream the correct way, so if you get it delivered it will still be frozen.Personally, I think the cereal ice cream has an odd texture and I dont fux with it at all. Some friends love it though. I like their ice cream sandwiches :) delicious stuff!
Not sure how this place has good reviews. I’ve been twice. The owner was an actual nightmare both times. I’ve watched and seen bad reviews removed repeatedly- guessing they’re paying Google to do so.The first time I went, the owner was so rude to my friend and I, rolling his eyes when we ordered. The second time, he yelled so aggressively at my boyfriend for trying to use the restroom while I was in line to purchase his ice cream- that he shouldn’t use the restroom until after he’d made his purchase… and I guess take his ice cream into the bathroom with him?If you check out the other reviews- it’s a pattern, from throwing a fit over food allergies to disrespecting people during Pride.Don’t own and operate a business like this if you’re not interested in being remotely kind to people.
So many unique flavors! For some reason the cheddar goldfish flavor was good and tasted just like the real thing.
Best ice cream place in all of Colorado! Great portions, Great flavors and Great service! The staff was helpful and welcoming. The unique ice cream flavors are always delicious and never disappoint. Every other ice cream place besides Ice Cream Riot sucks! This is the only ice cream place you need.
Cute shop, consistently friendly staff, convenient business hours, and yummy treats!
The ice cream flavor selection is weird (most of it is cereal flavors) but it tastes good and you can sample a variety first. I really liked the maple flavor he had when I was there. The place really seems to stand for what it believes in and I appreciate that. Also enjoyed the music selection while I was eating. The guy behind the counter (the owner, I think) was very direct and to-the-point, so if youre like me and you talk too much, you might annoy him, but it didnt seem to affect his professionalism. There are ice cream sandwiches made with pop tarts? I didnt try one but I found the idea kind of fascinating.
Myself and some friends came here to get some icecream after pride and we were rudely asked to leave because we werent buying anything when multiple people apart of our group did. Not only that, we were misgendered on purpose, so was another group of patrons who were coming in before us. When we stood up for ourselves, we were screamed at and called names. I will never go to this establishment again and I will be reporting this disgusting behavior, so will some of the other patrons who witnessed this. So shameful on pride.
Unique ice cream flavors and multiple way to serve your ice cream(ex. Cones, pop tart, cannoli)
Im giving this 2 stars because we showed up at 2pm and the doors were locked. I checked, double checked, and triple checked the day and hours of operation. I looked on the website, and Google. Had to park 3 blocks away and walk to the store only to find it closed. No sign, no explanation, no posts on social media.
So flipping good. I had the maraschino cherry ice cream and the cherry Philadelphia water ice. So amazingly good.
When u got the munchies.....call ice cream riot. they will make ur ~dReAmZ cOmE tRuUUUUuUU~The pop tart ice cream sandwiches really waters my crops. Sheeeeesh
Gold fish ice cream is a dream come true for sweet and salty fans! Pop tart sandwiches fresh or to go. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Will be going back next time I’m in Denver! :)
Extremely rude and disrespectful customer service! Terrible ice cream and other products. Manager/owner disrespects customers and delivery drivers. Wouldnt pass a health inspection even if god himself came in and cleaned the place. NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY!!!! DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY OR TIME AT OT OR WITH THIS SHAM OF A BUSINESS. GUARANTEED DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!

Disgusting. A huge block of ice cream in between two pop tarts. Portion size is completely messed up here. what a waste. Can’t even eat this without having chestpains. If you want to get high cholesterol, by all means order from here.
Very nice person behind the counter and great ice cream who could ask for more?
Seriously the best ice cream in Denver!! All of their flavors are incredible
Jim the owner is incredible and their cannoli ice cream is amazing, absolutely recommend :)
Try the rootbeer float it waz delish
The ice cream is great, the ambiance was fun
This place is unique af and theres a lot of different combinations. Support the local businesses!
Best milkshake ever according to my husband. I had ice cream with an oatmeal cream pie mixed in. I do not like ice cream very much, but this was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life.
The man behind the counter was incredibly rude to a Door Dash person, berating him and refusing to help him in front of the entire shop. This was my first experience here and it will certainly be my last.
Look no further - ice cream is insane. nostalgia and the craft of ice cream making at its finest. highly recommend the milkshakes - thick and creamy and delicious
The owner, Jim, is a totally down to earth guy who has a love for sharing delicious cool treats with people of all ages, all types. He actually makes his creations in the back visible to guests, making crazy good flavors like Crunch Berries, Cheddar goldfish (surprisingly Bomb), and Dirty Cookies and cream. For you adults who love scoops, he even made a White Russian ice cream that would be Lebowski approved! My personal favorite is the Andes mint and Nutella in a Pretzel cone (cone is crunchy with sea salt rim!). I am becoming a steadfast regular myself, going now at least once every other week and enjoy conversing with Jim every time. Thank you for killer ice cream!!!
One of my favorite ice cream shops in Denver. They have some zaney flavors, as well as Philly water ice! Kinda like sorbet almost, so good!! You can get custom ice cream sandwiches made from.. POPTARTS!!! 🤯 yesterday I got a cookies and cream pop tart with Reeses Puffs ice cream inside... It was truly amazing. 10/10 I completely recommend. GO!!!
If I could give this A negative star review I would!! The person behind the counter was extremely rude threatening and overall a complete jerk! I honestly don’t know how this place is still in business. I would highly advise people to take Their business somewhere else! Do not spend your hard earned money at an establishment that treats people like garbage.
Really fun, unique selection - we tried the ice cream sandwiches and cannoli and loved it all.
The fat double and ice cream sandwich have ridiculous portions
Very unique flavors
Basic but really nice flavor i live right across the street so Im just happy its there 😂
So many flavers to choose from its crazy but lots of fun trying out new flavors
The staff was helpful and kind. food is like a restaurant in jacksonville i liked.
THE BEST ICEE EVERRRRRR AND THE ANDES MINT ICE CREAM IS AMAZINGGGGG
Always great people!
Cheddar cheese goldfish flavor
Great ice cream, although I think it is a bit spendy.
This place is dope! They have amazing homemade ice cream flavors and homemade ice cream sandwiches that are the best. Get one made with pop tarts. 👍
Worst ice cream experience ever. We are from out of town and saw the great reviews so we decided to try it. The woman working was so sweet and helpful and we had a lot of questions about the ice cream. One of my family members asked for a cone because it was on the menu. The girl let us know that they were not doing ice cream cones because of COVID, which we completely understand. But she did offer the ice cream cannoli and that’s what we ended up getting. Another one of my family members just asked what the difference was between the cones and the cannoli and the owner came out of no where and started yelling at him. We had ABSOLUTELY no problem with not being able to get the cones and tried to explain that. But the owner freaked out. He was yelling and not listening to us say we understand. At one point he yelled “I don’t even care if we lose your business” (keep in mind we don’t even live here so lol). He said it was his own policy and that it was to protect his employees. The sweet woman working seemed so embarrassed and tried to tell the owner it wasn’t a problem. The owner left, came back and had a complete come apart AGAIN. We were utterly shocked. We were even agreeing with his decision and he was still angry. We sucked it up, bought the ice cream and left. The ice cream had the potential to be good, but the owner ruined the whole thing. The ice cream is not worth dealing with the outrageous owner.After looking at the other reviews, it looks like owner is always upset and angry with customers. Surprises me that they are still in business. Also kinda worried about the poor girl working, hope she’s okay.
The ice cream was amazing and the service was top notch can’t find service like this anywhere else
Icecream is very GUD!! An thick i like tht doesnt melt fast thts a ➕!! Very GUD
Love the ice cream and pop tart sammy. This place is next level with the types of ice cream to choose from. The oatmeal pie and cinnamon toast crunch it bomb.com. Come here if you need ice cream fix in Denver.
OMG! The boyfriend and I ordered Crunch berries and Strawberry shortcake roll ice cream. Super delicious. I hardly eat ice cream but this is literally the best ice cream that I ever had. Whenever were in the Denver area we will most definitely be ordering from Ice cream riot again.
Do it for the Nutella ice cream!
Guy behind the counter was really GREAT letting us try flavors since it was our first time. I got the clean based cookies and cream, AMAZING. I’ll deff be back. Also got Strawberry Banana “ icy “ and it hits the SPOT on a hot day! Don’t get it in a cone though;) 5/5 will be back for sure! It’s a hidden gem right down the street from the house!! Give it a try
I remember going here back when I was in preschool, and Im so happy that with all the changes that have happened in the Bay Area, this remains a fixed institution. Even the large black and white picture of the wide-eyed kid with his ice-cream has remained.
This place is sent from the Gods. AMAZING!!!
Best ice cream in Capitol Hill. Creative flavors that are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I love the wall photos too! Definitely try Nutella or raspberry preserves if theyre in the case. Everything here is great.
If I could give this place a negative rating I would! The guy tonight working (04/25/2020) @ 9:30pm was the rudest person I have ever met! Right away when I walked in I was scolded to stand by the door, but as the next 2 people came in they were able to walk up to the counter, then I was questioned about the order I was supposed to pick up and when I didn’t understand the question I was yelled at once again. The other customers looked at me and all I replied back with was “gees” and the guy called me out of my name and disrespected me and kicked me out of the store. The worst experience! Not to mention when I left crying I called to ask for managers name and I was told “and what might you need that for” and when I replied I want to speak with a manager I was rudely hung up on! Hopefully the manager is there tomorrow so I can discuss this with them! Whoever he was tonight has no right working with people if that is how he is going to treat them!
The ice cream and waffle cone were great! I had a double scoop with coffee and peanut butter puffs. The flavors were both very flavorful and authentic - they didnt taste processed. The ice cream didnt melt as I walked around in 80 degree weather, or maybe it was just so good I ate it quickly. The case was full of really interesting and fun flavors, I had a hard time deciding.I tried the Philly water ice and will come back on a hot day for a cup. The water ice was very flavorful and refreshing but wasnt too sweet.Ill definitely be back!
Every flavor Ive tried from the dirty cookies and cream, to the cinnamon pop tart, or butterscotch is just so rich and flavorful. Their flavors are spot on, if you did a blind taste test you wound know right away which each flavor was.
I love this place. Great ice cream. Lots of flavors and there is a gym next door to work off the extra calories when youre done. Id recommend it to anyone.
Very unique and good flavors of icecream. However, the owner is extremely rude! I came in last night, wearing my mask, and waited 10 minutes in line to get icecream. When it was my turn, I politely asked for two scoops on an icecream cone, and they arent serving cones to keep workers safe. I politely tried to explain to him that theres no difference in handing me icecream in a cup that him & the workers touched in comparison to handing me a cone, and he created a whole scene yelling trying to explain his ridiculous policy. I decided to let it go, and still get my icecream, and they gave me the wrong flavors! Wont ever get my business again!
Best ice cream in Denver. Every one of their flavors, goldfish included, tastes exactly like what it says and in the best way possible. The staff is super friendly and helpful!
Their cherry ice cream didnt even have one single cherry
Nothing to complain about. It has a cool interior.
The ice cream here is good, and the person serving us was nice.
Its amazing. So much ice cream for not a lot of $$
Oh so delicious!! Cannoli cannoli cannoli
Ice Cream Riot - Ballpark locationUse to be our favorite place to go, but 3 out of 6 times weve been there the place has been closed. Posted business hours do not reflect actual hours. Owner lives upstairs above the location and seems to open up whenever he/she feels like it. I am not bitter, its just kind of disappointing to spend the time to go there and its a 50/50 shot they are open. I strongly recommend going to 5280 Ice Cream instead, they have a really good selection and are open when they say they are.
The ice cream was really good. So was the service. Theyve got some unique flavors and Pop tart Ice cream sandwiches are ready to go. Only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is because the general atmosphere of the place was kind of run down.
Came here on my recent trip to Denver. Cool little shop. About a dozen flavors. I got a double, one of honey grahams and another of all berries. The all berries was delicious along with the honey grahams, however the honey grahams seemed to be a bit frost bitten (could feel crystals while enjoying). Overall a great ice cream spot!
Love the taste and a lot of variety of flavors. What i love most are the topping that you could actually select from and you could make a mixture of your own very original and very satisfying.
Not bad, not great. Just okay. Tastes about the same as any store-bought oreo ice cream Ive had. Nothing special, sadly.
I love this place! The cheddar goldfish is my favorite but all their ice cream is great. Pop Tarts ice cream sandwiches are what I never knew I wanted.
I had the oatmeal icecream. It was creamy-tasted like the Nature Valley bars. I sampled the Goldfish flavor and it was surprisingly good. I also sampled the fruity pebbles and if I go back thats what I would get. Tasted like the leftover milk from the cereal. Delicious and unique flavors. The one staff attending us had a face of hurry the F-up. I dont want to be here.
Simply amazing. You have to try the dirty cookies and cream and then every other flavor. You wont be disappointed. Any 1 star reviews must be from lactose intolerant people but even then they have Philly water ice which is delicious. Stop reading reviews and go find out for yourself, youll be happy you did.
