This review is for the ice cream cart on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. I was watching my 2…read moregrandkids while my wife and their parents browsed the shops. Being a granddad, I did what any good granddad does, I bought the kids ice cream. The young lady working the cart was the most pleasant, upbeat person I've seen recently. She is a credit to the company. And, the ice cream was delicious.

It gets busy, which slows things down a bit, but the line moves. Seating is minimal, so it's more of a grab-your-cup-and-go situation. Not a destination for ambiance, but the ice cream itself carries it.

Cool (literally) modern vibes in this gelato hotspot along the immensely popular shopping corridor…read more Service was quick and friendly. We ordered: honey toffee almond crunch, island coconut cream, and cornbread + peach jam. No inside seating but benches were available outside on the pedestrianized streets. All the flavors were fresh and hit the spot on a 95 deg day!

Random stop for me but a very nice treat. I tried their lavender poppy and it is very creamy and…read morestrong in lavender flavor but I don't think the poppy seed flavor comes through. The gooey butter cake wasn't as authentically gooey butter cake flavor but it's great creaminess with caramel folded in. The salt Oreo wasn't very salt. Tasted more like regular cookies and cream. The coffee chip was a great coffee flavor with authentic bitterness from the coffee balanced with the sweetness of the chips. It is quite ice-y and less creamy but I didn't mind it. I also really like that the small scoop can accommodate two flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would come back if I want some gelato.

However, the service we received was outstanding and is definitely responsible for this high rating. Kudos to Jax for taking the time to provide samples to each of us and explain the store to the newbies. We like the throwback feel to the store, the strip mall location and how all the employees took ownership of their customers. Without a doubt we'd stop by again; if the opportunity presents itself.

Highly recommend this place for a sweet treat after a meal!…read more We each got a single-split ice cream which was great so that we could have two flavors! This place offers 3 options: a dairy free option using coconut milk, gelato and good ole ice cream! The employees are great and let us try so many flavors which is great for an indecisive person like me :)

Stopped in for a late-night treat and left wishing we'd found this place sooner. From the moment…read moreyou walk in, it feels like dessert among the clouds: sky-blue floors swirled with soft white, warm lights overhead, and a dreamy cloud-backdrop bench that makes the perfect photo spot. The fall decorations are a fun touch, from the scarecrows on hay bales to the oversized spider keeping watch over the arch. Don't miss the miniature fairy garden on the counter. It's packed with tiny details like gnomes, wishing wells, a little bridge, and mushroom cottages, and it's obvious someone put real love into it. Most importantly, the ice cream is excellent. It's rich, dense, and creamy, the kind you can tell is made in small batches. The pistachio was smooth and nutty, the caramel-cookie swirl was loaded with mix-ins in every bite, and even the vanilla stood out for how clean and creamy it was. Scoops were generous, and the staff was friendly and patient while we decided. It's a great spot for a date night, a family outing, or just a quiet treat to end the day. Heaven is the right name for it.

Cherry Garcia, how I love thee! On a quick trip up to Boulder we landed at Ben & Jerry's for ice…read morecream! Some people got ice cream while others got shakes. There was only one person behind the counter and they nailed it with our experience. Service with a smile with a side of jokes and welcoming everyone who stepped foot in the shop. How fun and we will certainly return!

We've been visiting this Ben & Jerry's location in Boulder for years, and it has become one of…read morethose nostalgic places we always enjoy returning to. The teenagers and young staff members working behind the counter are consistently friendly and welcoming, and the ice cream is always fresh and exactly what we've come to expect from Ben & Jerry's. The interior could probably use a little updating and refreshing, but honestly, that's not what keeps us coming back. The biggest takeaway is the consistency. You know you're going to get the same quality ice cream every time, along with plenty of fun flavors and even vegan options, which we really appreciate. It's one of those dependable spots that has become part of our family's Boulder traditions over the years. We'll definitely continue stopping by whenever we're in town.

The topping were both exciting and disappointing. Again I was looking for the classic, crushed heath bar, which was no where to be found, however, I did enjoy adding a s'mores truffle to my dessert.

While visiting Boulder I was really in the mood for ice cream and so I stopped by Gelato Boy. It is…read morea pretty small shop. Clean aesthetic. I tried their ice cream sandwich. The cookies were nothing special. Ice cream though is always tasty. I really like their lavender poppy flavor, unique and flavorful. One star off because there is no way to get to this shop without using stairs, so not wheelchair accessible. It did not seem that there were any restrooms available either. The service was very average too.

This is a great little spot to get a treat while waiting for a show to start at the Paramount. There are lots of flavors to try from something not really sweet to salty to a sorbet. I think there's something for everyone. They let you try samples. The gelato is quite tasty. It's very creamy but not super sweet. I like that it's quite rich and thick. They give you a good amount in one scoop. I had the pistachio and I highly recommend it if you are a pistachio person.

But four stars instead of five because whoever is portioning the waffle cones needs a reality check. Two small scoops and not even filling the cone is not it. When I'm holding a waffle cone, I have expectations. There is a cone-to-ice-cream ratio that society has agreed upon and this did not meet it. The quality of the ice cream itself saved this review. If the portions matched the product, we're talking five stars easy. Get it together on the cone situation and we'll revisit.

You'll pay around 8 dollars for a scoop, so be aware. I will certainly be back to try more, but first I will need to take out a small loan. On this visit we had the peanut butter brownie honeycomb and the pistachio. Both amazing! The guy behind the counter said "you should know the peanut butter brownie one tastes like a snickers". Ha! Joke's on him, that's my favorite candy bar. But thanks for the warning! He was cool. We talked about the previous night's Buffs game. They have pints to take home, and I may be obsessed with this Shirley temple float they advertise. There is limited seating inside but it was a warm night so that's what we did but guess what? It was not freezing in there. Nice touch! We spend a fair amount of time in Boulder so we will keep this place on our mental list when we feel like splurging.

And they do a damn good job of it! The cool thing is that it's a sandwich shop AND a Häagen Dazs ice cream store rolled up into one. Has to be one of the only places in the country of its kind! Savory or sweet, you'll find something you love here. The menu boasts sandwiches, soups, salads, breakfast, kids meals, and of course the full Häagen Dazs menu. Italian Stallion // ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, balsamic vinaigrette, yellow mustard & mayo on marbled rye. The Italian American favorite. All the salty and tangy notes were hit. I don't love the bread choice personally, but to each their own! I just think it would've been even more flavorful on the Ciabatta roll. Now I'm a little biased because I grew up in the Häagen Dazs world. My family owned two shops until I was 18! They have some unique flavors on hand that I haven't seen in store or other brick and mortars. I loved the selection they have on site here. Plus, the employees will happily sample whatever flavor you want to try! Huge store with lots of space to sit. Easy ordering process for either the deli or the ice cream. And seriously, some of the most friendly employees I've seen in a hot minute. For something quick and on the go, Lindsay's Boulder Deli gets my stamp of approval. And if you're lucky enough to run into Lindsay herself, you're sure in for a treat!

Given the weather, I was surprised that there were no other customers. But other times it has be quite hectic. One of the really nice things is that they do make their ice cream on the premises and in small batches. They use nice little metal tubs in the case, like a gelato shop, and it looks so much more appetizing than those old messy cardboard tubs some other places use. The super friendly young man at the counter happily sold me the small kid's size which is all I can handle. I got my favorite, coffee, with Oreo mixed in. A win when I want to splurge. The price on this size was considerably less than a similar size at another popular place in town. I also would like to mention that though a small shop, it is nicely decorated and furnished and has always been very clean when I visited.
