An old-fashioned ice-cream parlor is an establishment that every neighborhood needs. Darlene's is that... and a lot more. Four of us went there about 1/2 hour before closing. For me it was the first time, and I was extremely pleased that the staff patiently offered us tastes of all the flavors we asked for. The variety and imagination behind the flavors was impressive. I tasted three flavors and settled on Manhattan Cherry (which took its flavor profile from the popular cocktail), my wife had a combo of cinnamon swirl cereal and a coconut cream sort of flavor. Forgive me for not remembering the exact names. You get the idea that we're not talking the normie flavors from the freezer aisle at the King Sooper across the street. We're definitely going back. Enjoy! read more

Great flavors, great texture, great variety, great people. What's not to love? This neighborhood has been needing a high end ice cream parlor and it looks like we finally have the one we've been looking for! read more

Quaint little ice cream shop in Aurora near 9 mile station. They have plenty of flavors. I had the some chocolate ice cream. The person that I was with had another flavor I cannot remember. The ice cream parlor is very clean. If you asked to use the restroom, you have to get a key. read more

While I did not go to the storefront, I tried Darlene's toasted sesame ice cream and the ginger apricot at Sushi Den's annual Rooftop Party Fundraiser. Oh my gosh!!!. I now want to eat it ever....single....day. The distance from where I live is all that makes that impossible, but it would really be worth the drive for the depth and tangy flavors of FRESH ginger and fruit and the browned sesame was to die for. A friend had their coffee ice cream and raved also. It was sold out by the time I wanted to try it! Yum X1,000,000!!!! read more

BIG FAN. found this gem in desperation after an attempt to go to Melt'n'Dip for gelato (but the gelato was awful so we didn't even order) and Darlene's was the closest. And what a delightful surprise it was being so close. It's an adorable Mom&Pop shop with rotating unique flavors. Best of all - GF Oreos as a topping or mixed into the mint cookie (think thin mint vibe). Many fun GF flavors AND allergen labs. The cashier was so kind and so cool to see the owners in the back. read more

Absolutely the best ice cream I've ever had. This place is next level!! I'd say most ice cream spots are pretty similar in terms of taste but this spot is far and away better than other places. 10/10 would recommend, so incredible. read more

What a fantastic new ice cream spot. I take ice cream very seriously and this spot is 100% worth the visit. Firstly, their flavors are unique and well thought out. The ice cream itself is smooth, creamy and delicious. Secondly they offer ice cream based dessert treats like this life changing carrot cake ice cream cookie sandwich with the softest cookie filled with cheesecake ice cream. Thirdly they're a local business with the kindest owners and staff. Lastly, their pricing is fair, if not slightly lower than some of the big local ice cream chains. Yes you can split a small into two scoops. There's some stools and counter seating and a few tables outside. Parking is easy with an ample sized parking lot read more

Truly the best ice cream I've ever had!! Everything I tasted was PACKED with flavor. I got the banana cream pie and a single scoop had so many wafer pieces and caramel chunks in addition to the base flavor being wonderfully rich. My boyfriend got the tiramisu and it really knocked my socks off-- I can't believe it had such a fantastic espresso flavor! A scoop may be a dollar or so more expensive than other places, but this is totally justified by the quality being off the charts. The staff so kind and personable as well! I can't recommend Darlene's enough. read more

De-licious local home made ice cream! Very cute vibrant colored small local ice cream shop with fun flavors. Service is great! We tried multiple flavors and chose dark chocolate, pistachio honey, and caramelized pineapple that is only on for limited time. Banana Nutella and toasted sesame was good too. We also got a pint to take home as the caramelized pineapple is only for limited time, and she offer to keep our pint in freezer behind the counter we enjoy our ice cream for us. read more

The ice cream isn't that good, small scoop with a hefty price. Plus the attitude needs some sweeting. I am a disabled veteran who gets around in a power chair. I look for safe ways to get into a business and have to admit that is a big challenge in Colorado. This business is no different with a heavy glass door. I was struggling with the door and amazed two employees stood and watched as I struggled to get in. No other customers to be seen. I didn't find the place very welcoming and upon paying the iPad staring at you to leave a big tip. I asked what the tip was for and the response was for the service. And to my surprise the person looking for the tip was the owner herself. Amazing! read more

what a gem in the neighborhood. Interesting flavors and excellent service. They also provide reusable spoons for tastings. I highly recommend. read more

Custom ordered an ice cream cake and it was so amazingly delicious! Banana Nutella and Not Just Vanilla ice cream with a chocolate cake and they put a caramel crisp layer between flavors. Everyone absolutely loved it! Process for ordering was really easy and it just took 2 days to pre-order our flavors. Great experience! read more

90° summer Friday and this was such a great treat! They had gluten and dairy free ice cream options, and absolutely great flavor options.

Unique flavors and so creamy! My go to ice cream spot now. Tried the caramel pretzel was delicious!

Genuinely the best ice cream I've had in Colorado since moving here 4 years ago. Got the banana Nutella and Oreo, and they do Oreo the right way (mixing the oreos into the cream instead of just vanilla)! Will 100% be back, the owners were very nice and were playing some great music as well. read more

I've been looking for a good ice cream place in the area, and visited this place today. Owner was super friendly, let us try multiple flavors, and everything was fantastic. We got the cinnamon cereal swirl ice cream, white espresso chip ice cream, and a chocolate dipped oatmeal cookie sandwich. Already plan to go back as soon as I can just for the kindness that was shown to new and returning customers. Also the place was spotless! read more

My first impression on walking in was the immediate waft of real ingredients. I was greeted with a warm smile and a hearty hello. I felt welcomed here. Wanted. I wasn't rushed through. I wasn't met with a Millennial Stare and a Yeah, Whatever. I felt like I was part of my neighborhood. I tried a couple of flavors. I had some discussion about ingredients and how they craft their flavors. I was BLOWN. AWAY. by Thai tea ice cream, with just the richest, most amazing layered flavor that comes on in waves. I ended up sampling the cinnamon cereal, and had a bowl of Thai tea with toasted sesame and red miso, and the sky parted, sun shone down, and angelic chorus sang. I've tasted NOTHING like this at a Dairy Queen, Cold Stone, or out of a box from the store. Seriously, fam--Treat yourself. GO check Darlene's out. This is as real as it gets. It's local, it's real, they're happy to have us. This place feels like stepping into all of those old TV shows about how great life coulda, woulda, shoulda been. Here, though--it is. My family's got a new weekly tradition. This place is worth your time. I, uh... I wanted to share some pics, but the ice cream was too good and I ate it all. I couldn't make myself stop in time to snap a pic--but for real, just go visit. Grab some pics while you're there. It's REALLY good ice cream, and the company is pretty great, too. read more

Very good ice cream, rich and creamy. Nice variety of flavors. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Wow! Such a great addition to the neighborhood. Great variety of flavors- classics and some unique creative flavors! I love this place.

The ice cream flavors are fun and delicious! I love that there are varieties for all flavor palettes. The service was amazing! All the ice cream signs were painted in adorable fun colors. I couldn't recommend this place more! read more

I'm delighted that Darlene's has come to Aurora! The Maui P.O.G. sorbet combines passionfruit, orange, and guava flavors - truly unique and enchanting. I'm excited to try other flavors on future visits. Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

Just visited Darlene's Ice Cream Shop for the second day in a row and was just as impressed.

I'd add a picture, but it's already all gone! read more

We were so excited that a new ice cream shop was opening in the area and were praying it was actually good ice cream. Darlene's exceeded our expectations!

Amazing ice cream and service! The key lime pie is so delicious! The shop is bright and clean with fun signs for the flavors too.

Just what we needed around here. So so good. I had the Sesame Miso Ice Cream and it was out of this world.
