The staff are friendly and welcoming and are knowledgeable about the coffee they sell. We tried the Iced Nitro coffee, Ice flash coffee, Golden Milk and Santo Palo latte. All the drinks were excellent. We especially liked the Nitro and Flash brewed coffee. The profile was rich, full body and balanced; very refreshing and drinkable. The Nitro was, of course, a bolder, richer flavor of the two. They were some of the best iced coffees I've tasted. The shop offers many varieties of whole bean, single origin and blended coffees from Corvus Rosters; which they will gladly grind for you. They also have lots of specialty food, body products, and gift items for sale along with a vinyl record section. For excellent coffee, friendly service and a nice shop to browse while waiting for your drinks, Howl Mercantile is awesome. They also have a few tables indoors and outside.

The variety of flavors available was impressive, and everyone found something they enjoyed! The adorable 50's car and vintage outfits added a charming touch that made our special day even more memorable. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the ice cream and the friendly service; they loved snapping photos with the truck, which became a delightful backdrop for many of our wedding pictures. A particularly touching moment was when Cindy graciously set up a picture of my husband's late grandparents next to the truck. His grandparents adored ice cream, and knowing that they left him money for dessert at his wedding made having Blue Truck Ice Cream there even more special. Overall, the kindness and dedication of the Blue Truck Ice Cream team truly made our dessert a sweet ending to an unforgettable day. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to add a unique and heartfelt touch to their event!

She was fantastic, attentive, funny, and really connected with us. It's great to find a restaurant where the food is better than you'd hoped, and we have very high hopes, but when the wait staff makes you not want to leave, you know you've found that hidden diamond.

I had the hot fudge sundae while Mom an Dad enjoyed cones of soft serve. The hot fudge was really delicious and I was happy for the snack. Also, soft serve ice cream isn't always easy to find so I was super happy. The menu featured a wide variety of items (from ice-cream to dim sum - seriously). It's a crowd pleaser for sure! I'll definitely be stopping back in when I am back in Salida.

On a road trip from Taos New Mexico to Morrison Colorado via Garden of the Gods…read more.... We stumbled into "I Scream and Stuff". Well, and stuff means dim sum, pot stickers, Chinese meals, hamburgers, great shakes all marketed as "Not Greasy, Good", "healthy" and "East/West". The menu was not what we were expecting at all. Ice cream. Yep. Burgers and Shakes. Sure. We were pretty skeptical that they could also pull off so many Chinese menu items....I mean, up in the mountains, in a small roadside café, named Ice Scream and stuff.. No way. The food was as advertised...no grease. We had a very lean Cheeseburger. On a whole wheat bun. With a thick and delicious shake. We decided to skip the sides...as we just wanted a snack. We were shocked when the owner came out to see us at our table explaining to us we had been overcharged because we skipped the sides....and produced cash on the spot to make us whole. The food we had was well prepared and tasted great. Maybe a bit healthy for us as a little grease isn't all that bad. The food we saw delivered to others all looked great as well (especially the Chinese food!) In addition the bathroom was super nice and clean. The service was pleasant and friendly. The place was completely full...so clearly they do a great amount of business. We enjoyed the sun and the views outside at the picnic tables, had a good time talking to the motorcycle riders (one guy from Texas on his way back from Salt Lake city.....his short ride of the summer). Everyone seemed to be enjoying this place and like us, chatting up the tourist. We left thinking...wow, that place is legit !
