So, we met Hap at a First Friday and started stopping by whenever he was where we were. I love the vanilla with pineapple! We started talking and found that he does private events. Fast forward a bit and we're looking for a few food trucks for a graduation party and decided that one should be a dessert truck. We got in touch with Hap and booked him. His rates were very reasonable and his service was excellent! He stayed for the whole party dishing that fabulous ice cream and stories - talking with the students and guests; encouraging folks to travel and see the world (I won't steal his thunder - get the book). Stop by and see Hap or one of his crew if you're nearby. If you're looking for a great food truck for an event that will please everyone at your event you should get in touch with Hap and have him over. He's great and ice cream is fantastic! read more

All you need to know is to order the salted caramel oreo ice cream. Yes, I know they are known for their New Zealand style ice cream, but I don't care. The salted caramel oreo is what you need to try when you visit, it will change your life! They are set up well for a social distancing world, with clearly marked spaces on the ground to stand in order to leave distance between customers. They have hand sanitizer available after you pay as well. There are lots of changing flavors available, and everyone will find something they enjoy. Friendly staff, delicious ice cream, safe health practices during a pandemic, what more could you want? read more

The Brown Sugar Chai is sooo good! Their ice cream is tasty, creamy, and has unique flavors!

The ice cream was really good! 5/5 Unfortunately the service was not so great. I was served from the food truck and I was super excited, but the person working barely spoke to me and gave me odd looks. He was not helpful at all. I felt very uncomfortable to ask for suggestions on what to order. I was about to ask if there was something wrong, but decided to let it go. Really odd service, considering you are serving ice cream- a happy and joyous food. Anyway, I will give them a second chance in the future. Maybe I caught him on an off day, which happens to everyone! read more

Hap puts the happy in Happy Cones... sounds like the beginning of a lovely New Zealand nursery rhyme, right?!? I've never tried New Zealand ice cream before and I'm so glad I had my first experience here! The owner is such a nice and friendly guy! My hubby and I stopped here for dessert after our amazing lunch at the Edgewater public market. I told him we should split a cone because I'm not a fan of ice cream on a cold day but I ended up eating most of it myself because it was so damn good. Creamy ice cream with fresh fruit and it was so cool to watch him make it, glad he didn't mind my videos and photos. This was definitely the cherry on top of an all around amazing lunch date! Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. read more

I go here for iced cream all the time. It's great!!! Stephanie is great!!! Stephanie suggested I try the Salted caramel Oreo oatmilk or the chocolate Oreo oatmilk. I got them both and they were both amazing!!!! 1 billion stars to the staff and the iced cream!!! read more

Ungodly slow to the point of disconnect. Huge queue of people and staff just ambling around doing menial tasks and idly chatting.

Amazing service, unfortunately can't say the same about the New Zealand style ice cream, I guess there's a reason you don't see it in the states. Kinda tasted like a bland extra chunky smoothie in soft serve form. Might have been the first time I've ever thrown away an ice cream cone. My girlfriend did enjoy her vegan gelato. read more

If I was able to give this place 9 gazillion stars I would. The service is amazing. Each person here is caring and sweet. A special shout out to Stefanie. Her smile in infectious and has a heart of gold Here at Happy Cones you are not a customer. You are family read more

Happy Cones has quickly become my favorite ice cream in Denver. It's super creamy with amazing flavor combos. The signature Hokey Pokey is super tasty having a honey comb toffee mixed in with the same dusting the top. OMG! Beyond that they have other marvelous flavors like Salted Caramel Oreo. I'm fairly certain they make their own "oreo" for this one. It rocks and I think I may have to drive over for one right now... bye! read more

Love this little ice cream shop. Edgewater Market is great and HC has become one of our favorite spots in Denver! We're spoiled in Chicago with so much amazing everything food related, but this place is top tier for sure! Highly recommend the NZ style too! read more

Holy holy holy smokes is this good! Bought a bunch for a birthday dessert and all 5 of us were swooning over the flavors, texture and tastiness. We had the hokey pokey, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream and Tiramasu. Going back today for more. Yummmm read more

I moved from San Francisco (yeah, I know, unpopular thing to admit to- whatever) where I had access to (and took advantage of) a metric sh-t ton of great options re: ice cream, so I feel like I can speak with some authority here when I say the hokey pokey is my favorite ice cream quite possibly ever. Consistency? Perfect. Taste? Outrageous (there is no such thing as too much happy dust). Friendly peeps behind the counter? Yup. Clean? Always. Happy Cones.. I love you. read more

It's a great ice cream that isn't too sweet, it's creamy and made with fruit! They came to my apartment community and was selling ice cream fro their truck. Great customer service, I would definitely recommend this ice cream to anyone. Don't hesitate folk :) read more

Really rude service. Makes sense - that's what I became accustomed to when I travelled around New Zealand. Plenty of other better ice cream spots with good service and nice employees. read more

Loooooove it! I've been to their store location and visited the blue school bus and all the times the staff has been exceptional. The flavors are superb; can't help but get multiple pints! The ice cream is creamy and full of flavor. read more

This place is amazing! New Zeland ice cream is no joke and this places atmosphere is very sleek and modern. You have the option to make your own flavor of ice cream using their selection of frozen fruit. The machine they use to make this ice cream looks like something out of the future. They also offer samples of their scooped ice cream so enjoy a taste! They have a honey lavender scooped ice cream that's delicious. read more

You absolutely can't go wrong here. Everything is delicious. They don't let it go cheap but you get what you pay for and this is primo. Definitely try the New Zealand style ice cream if you've never had it but you won't be disappointed no matter what you order. Ice cream on! read more

The ice cream is really delicious but the service was very disappointing. We came into the place closer to closing time and we kindly asked if they were still open, we got a thumbs up. I asked to taste 2 flavors for myself and then lastly 1 for my daughter. As I was asking if my daughter can taste the last one, one of the ladies (blonde-ish hair ) made a rude face. Not sure if there was a limit on the amount of ice cream to taste, but 3 felt a lot for her. After paying, I can sense sarcasm on "have a goodnight guys". We would have been okay if they had told us they were closed. Not a great way to end our night.I did not have a "Happy Cone." read more

Soooooo good. Like honestly the best ice cream in denver. I really wish their menu was bigger so that the rotating flavors were full time. I love the honey lavender. Some of the staff members are super nice and friendly. They seem to be doing everything they can to be safe during Covid. read more

Awesome place !! We absolutely loved it . Cool vibes for customers and worker ! The butter Carmel ice cream was the best I've ever had !!!! Yum ! read more

This joint stole my dang heart along with my taste buds. The owner is such a friendly and helpful guy, along with the rest of the staff. The new Zealand style icecream is so unique and creamy , I literally could not stop thinking about it after my first experience I had to come back within the week. Treat yourself to a cone and a couple of pints here youll thank me later read more

The service was terrible with rude, unhelpful staff. Overhyped ice cream not worth the price

Stopped in yesterday to both locations! As a kiwi I wanted to support this business as much as I could. The hokey pokey tastes just like back home and the real fruit smoothies are great as well. Thankful to have a kiwi place doing well in such a big town. Customer service was great at the Edgewater location. read more

The mixed berry New Zealand style ice cream was delicious! 1/3 fruit + 2/3 sweet cream ice cream means it's kinda healthy right? read more

We had the vanilla ice cream and honey lavender ice cream. Nothing special about the vanilla. The honey lavender lacked the lavender flavor. However, I really should have tried what they are known for, fruit infused soft serve ice cream. I am looking forward to trying that and will update my review then. read more

You know those places your friends tell you about where they had the best ice cream they've ever had? This is one of those places. Be not afraid of a style of ice cream you've heard of because New Zealand style ice cream is fantastic! Light and sweet (and fruity: you have to start with their fruit styles which they are known for!). Ordering strawberry or mixed berry sounds lame at any other shop, but at Happy Cones they are amazing! The place is quick, the people are nice, and the prices are worth it. And they have pints-to-go (and deals on them too sometimes) to keep the freezer at home Happy. A trip to the Edgewater Public Market without Happy Cones is not a complete trip! read more

You think you've had good ice-cream until you come across this little gold mine. Every inch of this establishment screams happiness, from the staff to the impeccable selection of ice cream.(my favorite is the Hokey Pokey). Hope you found this review helpful and take it from me, you'll want to stop by for a scoop or six. I promise, it won't be the last! read more

One of my favorite ice cream shops! The only downside is the lack of options but other than that their ice cream is otherworldly. I most definitely recommend if you're ever in the Edgewater area ! read more

The ice cream was sooo good we got the strawberry soft serve.. sooo good!! The owner was super nice and made us feel very welcome. We are visiting from Houston Tx I am sure I will be back before we leave.. read more

Ice cream is so good and the owner is so cool! A world nomad with a beautiful family. I love supporting small businesses like this one AND they have vegan options! Yummmm read more

Got a scoop of hokey pokey with their homemade caramel and they generously added a little honey dust on the house....I now know why...that's how they get you. I'm hooked. If you love honey and vanilla (actually sweet cream), you will be sooo happy. It will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. I've also had the mixed berry NZ style which is a great pick if you don't want anything too sweet. I found it more on the tart side because their sweet cream ice cream is not packed with sugar...it's delicate in its sweetness. Really, really good. read more

I hired the Happy Cone food truck for an outdoor, socially distant birthday 13th birthday event. The party was a huge success and a wonderful way for our family to safely connect with friends and family. The ice cream was amazing, the service impeccable, and the cute truck /bus was cheerful (they came with music!) and felt very, very safe. Hap even offered to make the birthday boy's favorite ice cream flavor which made for an unexpected personal touch (mint chip, it was amazing). Our lactose intolerant guests loved the vegan chocolate option made with coconut milk. The Happy Cones staff were amazing and super friendly. As we were setting up our small outdoor bluetooth speaker they cranked the (appropriate for our mixed age group) tunes from the bus - what a bonus! More than a week later our guests are still talking about the great ice cream and service. Thanks so much for helping us create an unforgettable event! read more

Awesome experience. My daughter has a tree nut and peanut allergy and they were great about checking the cones to insure they were safe. The ice cream was awesome. The Hokey Pokey and Salted Caramel Oreo was amazing. We will be back the next time we are in Denver! read more

This is my new favorite ice cream! The hokey pokey is the best ice cream I've ever had. If you've never had honey comb, you will not regret ordering this flavor. Goi g to go buy a pint before I leave. read more

Love that we have found a taste of NZ here in Colorado. The hokey pokey is the best we've ever had and as avid real fruit ice cream fans - we are in heaven. We've introduced our American friends to happy cones and they are equally as impressed. Looking forward to trying more seasonal flavours too. read more

So happy to have this great ice cream shop in the neighborhood and within the Edgewater Marketplace! Love when we can eat there, but we recently got pints to-go and the cookie dough and the mixed berry were delicious! read more

I don't usually eat much ice cream. But I cannot resist the mixed berry NZ style from happy cones. It's not too sweet and has this perfect creamy texture. It's perfect on a hot day. Seriously, it's the only ice cream worth eating in my opinion. read more

This is my favorite ice cream place not only is their ice cream best, but because they love what they do and are proud of it. They want to be 100% sure that the things on their menu are things they are proud of. I love the ice cream, the people, and their love for both. read more

One of the builders in our neighborhood had this ice cream truck at the opening of their new models, so we stopped by to try it out. Seriously some of the best ice cream around. Definitely unique. Plus, the owner's story is very interesting. If you have a chance to try this place out, do it. read more
