Best of the Best: Ice Cream in the Foothills

Best Ice Cream Spots in the Foothills of Colorado

Kids and adults alike, we all need a treat now and then. Here are the best spots for ice cream in the foothills of Colorado.

Evergreen

• Colorado Creamery serves Little Man Ice Cream in cones and pints with milkshakes, sundaes and more. They also have a treat called an Affogato that is cold ice cream with espresso poured over the top. Yes, please.

• Baskin Robbins in Downtown Evergreen. It’s popular nationwide for a reason: Lots of flavors! But the best part of this location is the location along the river and the large tree that hangs over the water for kids to play on.

• For a treat other than ice cream, check out Slife’s Shaved Ice in downtown Evergreen (behind Baskin’ Robbins). They are also at nearly every local event with their food truck.
  

In Morrison

• Ozzie’s is old school (doesn’t even have a website) so you know it’s good.
  

In Georgetown

• Georgetown Valley Candy Company: ice cream, fudge, caramel corn, oh my!

In Kittredge

• Switchback Sweetshack offers scoops by the river and is next to Switchback Smokehouse (for amazing BBQ)
  

In Conifer

• Lik’s Ice Cream has some of the best, locally made (in Denver) ice cream around. Kids love the many rich flavors, adults love the Jack Daniel’s chocolate chip.
