Another awesome ice cream spot in Denver. Bonnie Brae Ice Cream might officially have one of my favorite ice cream flavors I've ever had: the Oatmeal Raisin. They don't just make the ice cream taste like oatmeal raisin cookies; there are huge chunks of actual oatmeal raisin cookies mixed throughout, which made it even better. If you're an oatmeal raisin cookie fan like I am, this flavor is an absolute must-try!! I also tried the Salted Oreo. I normally love a salty-and-sweet combo, but this one leaned a little too salty for my personal taste. Still good, just not quite as much of a standout for me as the oatmeal raisin. Overall, definitely a spot worth checking out, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors. read more

While everyone talks about Little Man, I'm surprised more people don't mention Bonnie Brae. It is my absolute favorite ice cream spot in Denver! It always hits the spot and I never get tired of it. It has that classic neighborhood feel where there is usually a line outside, but it is always worth the wait. The Order: Salted Oreo & Price The Salted Oreo is my go-to because it has the perfect sweet and salty balance I love. If I'm not getting that, I'm getting the Lemon Custard. Both are incredible. For a double scoop in a cup, it cost about $8-$9. While they have great vegan and dairy-free options, the Salted Oreo I get is their traditional dairy version. Homemade: One of the reasons it tastes so good is that they make their own ice cream and cones right on-site! You can really taste the difference in the freshness of the scoops and the crunch of the waffle cones. Customer Service: Even when it's packed inside with people ready to order, the staff is very quick and efficient. The customer service is great, which is impressive considering how busy they usually are. Parking: A huge plus for this location is the free street parking, making it an easy and accessible stop compared to other busy areas. Overall Experience: I managed to time my last visit earlier in the day to beat the line, but even when it's busy, the quality is top-tier. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! It's a local gem that truly deserves more hype. read more

Stopped by this charming, vintage-style ice cream spot with my boyfriend after my birthday dinner, and wow--such a sweet way to end the night. We originally wanted to check it out because the line was literally wrapped around the place (always a good sign), but it moved surprisingly fast. We were definitely overdressed coming from a fine dining dinner, but the server was so kind--he complimented us, asked what we were celebrating, and when I told him it was my birthday, he made it extra special by not charging me for my ice cream and giving us a military discount. Totally unexpected and genuinely appreciated. Now... the ice cream. SO good. We both absolutely devoured ours--rich, creamy, classic perfection. I got a two-scoop waffle cone with lemon custard and (I think) Bordeaux cherry, and I haven't stopped thinking about that lemon custard since. Bright, smooth, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. Between the quality, the service, and the overall experience, it was 100% worth the wait. Already looking forward to going back. read more

We loved this neighborhood ice cream spot! Great selection of flavors and the staff will let you sample a few to help you decide. I ended up getting the salted Oreo and really enjoyed it but will probably try something else next time. The prices were very reasonable and great portions. There is limited seating available inside so that was tough on a cold weeknight, but totally worth it! Can't wait to go back read more

I had been meaning to try this place, and it did not disappoint! This is a local establishment with a classic ambiance. There's seating both inside and outside. Service is friendly. I like how this place has both kosher and vegan options, although it would be nice if there were a few more vegan options. You can get coffee here for 75 cents!! Or a coffee ice cream float! That's what I'll get next time :) read more

Cute ice cream spot in Denver. There's more seating outside than there is inside so be prepared if it's cold out. The ice cream was pretty good. Not someplace I would rush back to. The service was friendly. read more

New favorite ice cream shop in Denver. And we have tried a LOT. Staff was very kind to allow us to try as many flavors as want. From a gluten free perspective, there were a LOT of options.

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW YUM! they did bring an allergen menu, but did not get a new scooper or scoop from the back when I went as the line was CRAZY long - however, my other celiac friend hadn't had any problems in the past so I went with her recommendations and did not get sick! I got the PB&J with the palisade peaches - so yummy and house made! read more

Small and usually pretty crowded ice cream shop that we were pretty lucky enough to find a seat inside. Lots of flavours to choose from, but if you're looking for sorbet, they only had one or two types available. They let us try a couple flavours and I ended up landing on my go-to which is mint chocolate chip. Solid ice cream shop. I would go back again as long as it isn't as busy as I've heard it can get! read more

Not sure how I've never reviewed Bonnie Brae. I love the nostalgia of the ice cream parlor and the friendly staff. I've tried a handful of their flavors but I always come back for their cappuccino crunch! It's one of my fav ice cream flavors in the metro! read more

Everything about this store is positive. There are many choices as well as toppings. This ice cream parlor continues to attract large crowds and a large following. It continues to win awards. It's prices are on the upper side, but the cost of ice cream everywhere has gone up over the past few years so really can't complain. There has been little change in the interior, but it is clean and inviting. The store continues to be one of the best ice cream parlors in Denver. read more

Thee orio and cream is to die for! The strawbery icecream was also very good and not overly sweet. We came here on a Friday night and it was PACKED. Also really friendly staff. The decors and styles of this icecream parlor itself are worth a visit, not to mention their really delicious icecream. read more

Immaculate vibes - our jaw dropped when we saw the prices. I got an "Itty Bitty" for $2.50 and was totally satisfied. They have a TON of cool flavors. I often hear the debate of Denver's best Ice Cream being between Little man's or Sweet Cows. I think Bonnie Brae gives both a run for their money. Incredibly fast service, fun music & a retro, family-friendly vibe. read more

Super busy, but worth the wait! Any time I've driven by, there is usually a line out the door. This was also the case when I decided to check them out and see what all the hype is for. WOW, this ice cream is delicious. I'm usually pretty picky; Bonnie Brae has something for everyone! They do have a rotating menu, so there's something new every time. Butter pecan is my favorite read more

Classic neon lights, corner store , picnic tables and benches full of people enjoying an assortment of delicious homemade ice cream combinations. This is a quintessential ice cream joint and it gets everything right. Don't have a picture of the location as we got a pint and some waffle cones to go but man was this so good read more

It was awesome. Freshly made and inexpensive. The servers were friendly. All the flavors we tried were great. We'll be back!

my FAVORITE (if I could bold and underline that I would) ice cream in Denver. better than little man! it has crowd pleasing flavors, smells like waffle cones and friendly service. easy street parking too! I'm from New Hampshire, the home of cute local ice cream stands, so I needed something that felt like home and this hit the spot. read more

We love picking up quarts here. Ice cream in classic flavors, as well as some funky options if you're in the mood for that. My husband is addicted to the Triple Death by Chocolate, and my son loves the Strawberry. I have a serious weakness for their butter brickle either a soft, intensely caramel streak running through the creamy vanilla base. Service is solid (especially when you can skip the scoop line and buy directly from the freezer like we do) and the ambiance is classic ice cream parlor, probably the same since they've opened. We are huge fans! read more

Have heard of this place since I was a kid, finally came for the first time; cute, but never have I ever received a cone where the single scoop wasn't taller than the cone or even ice cream out to the edge of the cone‽ read more

I find a way back here over and over again! This is my favorite ice cream spot in Denver! The flavors are always changing and I always forget about some until they make a reappearance on the menu. But it's nice to always have a wide selection. Butter brickle is my favorite flavor! They have puppy ice cream sandwiches too (which my dog loves). It tastes like homemade ice creamery ice cream which is what you want. It's a chill old school vibe and aesthetic to the shop. A lot of people take their ice cream and sit outside on the benches or tables when the weather is nice. Mentally prepare for a long line in the summer months. It goes pretty quick for the length of line. Major key, get a quart or pint to go once you have your favorite flavor. It's more cost effective than multiple trips. read more

We needed an ice cream stop before our next family adventure. It's been a long time since I've been here. The service was great. This is a very cute ice cream shop. All the ice creams varies every time in addition to the common ones they typically have. The ice cream here is absolutely delicious. Looking for delicious ice cream? This is the place. Great for a hot day, dates, family treats, and just looking for something sweet. Love this place and will be coming back again. read more

This place is a core childhood memory of mine and my parents use to take me there when we first moved here from Japan. I always would get the same thing, Oreos and cream. Every time I walked by this place it always has that pleasant vanilla, caramel like scent and I think they also make their waffle cones fresh. I haven't been here in a long time, probably haven't been in like 10 years and decided to stop by, I really enjoyed it and it was super good and service was great. Place is clean and old school cool. The ice cream was creamy and every bite was dreamy! read more

Amazing experience. Good staff, service, food and ambiance. Very nice not too loud l

If you're looking for a classic ice cream parlor experience, Bonnie Brae is the place! This iconic Denver spot not only has great homemade ice cream, but will give you a nostalgic feeling. Two of us split a double sundae which was plenty to share. We opted for classic vanilla scoops, but there were a variety of flavors I will be back to try! This is an order at the counter type of place, and the sundaes are not served in glass bowls. Nonetheless, you'll have a fun experience. read more

Even though I LOVE ice cream, I've never lived close to the legendary Bonnie Brae Ice Cream shop and therefore had never enjoyed their work previously. A hot weekday night prompted some adventure, and it checked every box, a great experience! Luckily, it was early evening, so the usual line had yet to form, and the service staff was full of warmth and assistance. They also had a good sense of humor, which led to an even more positive experience. They make their ice cream on-site, I selected a luscious cookies and cream option that was incredible. I Sat outside the store and had the whole experience, watching people continually go into the shop and come out smiling. Regrets for not visiting earlier, but this won't be the last time because driving 20 minutes takes calories, right? read more

Vegan flavors were Cinnamon & Oreo - so much better and yummier than other ice cream shops' typical vegan options! Highly recommend

Amazing ice cream. Every sample we've tried was amazing and extra creamy. We are from California but come to this ice cream shop whenever we are in town and the peppermint never disappoints. My sons said the cookie dough pieces are extra large. By far our favorite ice cream shop (wish we lived closer). read more

HOLY CRAP! First off, the staff was friendly and quick. There was a decent line and kept the people moving while also being kind, providing samples, and really giving you value for money. The flavors of ice cream were unlike any I have seen and really shine! The Blueberry Cornbread sounds bizarre but LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS AMAZING! Truly one of the best ice cream flavors I have ever had! read more

I was very excited about this and it wasn't very expensive. However, we ended up having only about 10 bites of it. It didn't have a lot of flavor. The consistency wasn't great a little bit icy. Wouldn't necessarily come back but willing to give another chance maybe. read more

I got the salted Oreo which was delicious! Some might think it's too salty but I thought it was the right amount. Service was quick despite the line out the door. It gets pretty busy on a warm night so we didn't hang around. read more

My first time trying ice cream from here and I loved it! They had a long lineup out the door and down the street yet the staff were so friendly and helpful and still allowed for samples. There were ample flavors to choose from and I appreciated that waffle cones were included in prices. I went with lemon blueberry which was refreshing and butter brickle which had toffee like pieces and was super sweet. I would recommend either. I sampled the lemon custard as well which I found wasn't as flavorful and the blueberry cheesecake which had nice cheesecake pieces. Scoops were a fair sized and there was a good amount of seating outside. Parking lot next door is for liquor store only so street parking in the neighborhood is the way to go but there seemed to be enough spots within less than a 5 min walk. read more
