I absolutely ADORE New Zealand-style ice cream, but it is so hard to find. I was over the moon when we visited Golden Mill and found Happy Cones inside. Ended up grabbing it after my drink and before my food! New Zealand-style ice cream is unlike any other. It's so smooth and creamy, and the berries always give it that little bit of tartness to compliment the sweet. Get the sweet cream with mixed berries. You'll be happy. As I said, Happy Cones is inside Golden Mill. So to order from them, you'll need to get a Golden Mills card from the desk right when you walk inside. They'll link your credit card to it, and you'll use it for the alcohol and different vendors. They will automatically close out your card with a 20% gratuity on it. So sad I was only able to get their ice cream once on my trip, but you better know that next time I'm back in Denver, this will be one of my first stops.

The Food and service were great! So many options to choose from, including dairy and gluten free!

Hokey Pokey Honeycomb Ice Cream
Seth C.

Each time I call my lovely girlfriend "honey" it puts a smile on my face and brings a solitary tear to my eye. She believes this is due to my boundless love for her. In reality, it is because I am, in that moment, reminded of the Hokey Pokey honeycomb ice cream from Happy Cones. From the moment the first bite crosses my lips, until the last few drops I'm able to scrape off of the bottom of my now empty cup, it's as if I'm having the best dream I've ever had. The only difference between enjoying a delicious portion of this creamy delight and heaven itself is that you have to wait for heaven. Do not wait on this ice cream. Act now, and your life will forever be changed for the better.

I had a new zeland style ice cream with raspberry and pineapple. It was pretty tasty and felt healthier than typical American ice cream.

Let's just start by saying I love my desserts and anything sweet. I was very excited to try Happy Cone with their New Zealand blended ice cream. Happy Cone was not happy at all. Actually the young lady who worked behind the counter seemed angry, miserable and short with the customers. As we sat eating our ice cream my son who's 15 commented on how she was being passive aggressive with the customers. Here's the deal. I don't care how good the ice cream or the ambiance is when I witness something like this I never want to come back. I'm going to support the establishments who've put a priority on customer service.

Yummy sweet treats serving up NZ style icecream and traditional icecream! Try the one with honeycomb and enjoy the view and some beers with friends or a date!

Blueberry & Mixed Berry
Stefanie C.

4.5 stars. One of my favorite places for dessert in Colorado! I had no idea what New Zealand style ice cream was until my partner explained it to me. Love this shop in the Golden Mills food hall. I'm obsessed with the blueberry ice cream. Haven't tried any of the other flavors. Service is friendly and super chill. The only (major) downside is that we've tried redeeming a gift card here twice, but no staff member has been able to get Square on the iPad to work. What a huge bummer. Maybe we'll try at the Edgewater location next time. Overall, Happy Cones in a popular treat over the summer for a reason!

Happy dust topping!

Stopped here for a quick ice cream with some friends visiting in town - we got New Zealand style with fruit (two of us got mixed berries, the other got pineapple raspberry). They basically take plain vanilla (?) ice cream and put it through a machine with the frozen fruit to create almost a smoothie-like ice cream (complete with fruit seeds). It's not sweet which I love and tastes very natural! I enjoyed this place when it was a food truck so happy to see they're doing well in Golden now.

Happy cones was located inside a building with several other food businesses. You check in and give them your credit card which they link to a card you can tap at any of the establishment there. Happy cones has new Zealand style ice cream and I'd say their description is accurate smoothie meets ice cream. The new Zealand ice cream has a sweet cream base mixed with fresh fruit. I still had some chunks of fruits in mine (not huge pieces). They also have regular flavors. I tried one of the seasonal ones honey lavender which was good too but ultimately went with the new Zealand style since I've never had that before.

Strawberry New Zealand style ice cream
Jamie S.

Worth the try: New Zealand style ice cream, any flavor! New Zealand style ice cream: A mixture of fresh sweet cream ice cream and a scoop of fruit, made to order in a New Zealand made machine. It's a thick soft serve with a unique texture, and the little fruity bits are EVERYTHING. Choose whichever flavor sounds good to you. The double twirl just means more ice cream, not 2 flavors, but they can do a small layer of 1 flavor stacked on top of another if you really want.. it just won't have the same effect. PARKING: Parking available a block away in the Coors Tek lot, a lot of the spaces in front of The Golden Mill say "No Golden Mill" parking. SERVICE: There was no line around 9PM on a Saturday, staff was helpful and got us our ice cream quick. ATMOSPHERE: Small shop located downstairs within The Golden Mill. Ample seating available. My friends know I LOVE ice cream, so they recommended I check out this place in Denver. I've never had New Zealand style ice cream--it's seriously so unique. If you're familiar with boba/bubble tea shops, it's similar to the feeling of ordering a fruit tea, and the shop uses REAL tea and REAL fruit bits for your drink.. but it's ICE CREAM. Overall, amazing and absolutely worth the try! I'd come back to try the American style flavors, they sound so good too.

Located inside Golden Mill food hall this is a good place to get a yummy ice cream. They have soft serve that is New Zealand style and they also have normal ice cream. The honeycomb flavor was particularly yummy. Highly recommend!

If I could only order one ice cream flavor the rest of my life I would choose the salted Carmel Oreo with happy dust (toffee dust) on top. Located inside of the golden mill this is the best way to quench your salty and sweet cravings all at once. They have multiple types of ice cream, and your traditional cup vs cone options. For the fruity lovers they have soft serve blended with your favorite fruit! They even have 4 vegan options including a vegan Oreo flavor. I suggest ordering your own cup/ cone as sharing is going to be impossible!

This is an amazing ice cream polar situated in a great location. They make fresh soft serve and you can watch while they work their magic. The vegan ice cream options are the best I've EVER tasted. The flavors are just so fresh because they add in the toppings to your soft serve! Amazing. Our party was large and had mixed dietary restrictions but they had something for everyone and handled the situation smoothly. The vibe is definitely casual. It's just a fun space and food adventure. Note, they also sale some flavors on big tubes to go.

This was the best ice cream I've ever had. I got the Salty O, their salted Oreo ice cream, and it…read morewas literally heavenly. The consistency was perfect, it barely melted while I ate it in the car, and I never got tired of the flavor. When they say salty, they mean SALTY, but it works so well with the sweetness of the Oreos and ice cream. If you like something to cut through the sugar instead of sweetness on top of sweetness, this is the flavor for you. The line was long, but it moved at a good pace, and the service was so kind. You can sample flavors before deciding, which I always appreciate. The outdoor seating gives it a casual, relaxed feel and makes it easy to hang out and enjoy your treat right away. I'd absolutely come back for another scoop of Salty O!

Little Man is a must-do anytime we're visiting our kids in Denver. This time we lucked into 79…read moredegrees with a light breeze at 7:30 pm on October 6, a perfect end to the day. It was decorated for fall, with pumpkins, cornstalks, and photo opps galore, along with the usual flower buckets. There's also a play area for kids. The pumpkin (chocolate) chip ice cream was wonderful, even better than the 16th Street chocolate with fudge chunks, and it takes a lot for me to prefer anything to chocolate! Be prepared to wait in line for a while anytime you visit Little Man, unless perhaps the dead of the winter, a season when I haven't visited. But it's worth it!
