Have thought of this ice cream since my first visit 4 years ago. It was as good as I remembered!

Some of the creamiest ice cream I have ever had! They also have a solid range of flavors and usually have a new, unique one anytime we come in every few weeks. The staff is also super friendly and lets you do as many tastings as you want! read more

Cheery spot to grab a delicious cold treat! The staff was incredibly friendly and the music (at least this day) was bringing all the 80s synth pop nostalgia! The flavors are creative and they're all made in house. read more

This pains me to write this. Truly, it does. Our family came here for a treat after our youngest had a school performance and bonus, we had a gift card to use! The associate was friendly and my kids got to sample before committing. My littles got birthday cake on sugar cones, while the grown-ups had a banana split (you get to choose 3 scoops). They have a variety of items on their menu (see video and pics). As we went to pay, we were told their tablet was stolen a month ago and could not use our gift card. Hmmm. Not wanting to cause a fuss and understanding how busy the shop was getting, I wanted to empathize the situation, however, businesses must honor gift cards. The associate tried her best to accommodate and offered a small discount and a punch card that is worth one scoop of ice cream, about $5. The gift card has $20 value, but they could not verify due to the circumstance of a stolen tablet. We paid with our credit card, left a tip and ate on their patio. The have about 6-8 bar top tables and bench seating. As we were chatting, I pulled out a hair that wasn't mine from my side of the sundae - insert sad face. Super bummed and again, hate to write this but this was the honest experience. We will have to strongly reconsider coming back as there are several other ice shops around town to visit. The parking is limited in the lot, but there is neighborhood or street parking close by. Just wasn't our night to go to Nuggs. read more

As far as my favorite ice cream shop in Denver, this would be #1 ! The brotherfinger is absolutely my favorite. I don't really even like butterfinger candy but the chocolate and crunch pieces mixed into the peanut butter ice cream is delicious. The husband loves anything with baked goods - cookies and cream, cookie dough. Not a bad flavor in stock! read more

Great local spot for ice cream. They had some great flavors, palisades peach, queen bee, dark chocolate cherry, double stuffed oreo and also served dole whip (strawberry and mango). Palisades peach had a nice peach flavor and queen bee (honeycomb) tasted like creamy honey. The texture of the ice cream was a little soft as it was a bit melted even when scooped but again the flavors were great. I wouldn't put it at the level as Jeni's or Graeter's but it is good and I will be back. The parking lot is very small and fills quickly but there is ample street parking around. read more

Ice cream! Thats's it, this review is finished. Alright, time for me to go..... wait, you're still there? I thought you got the word. The review is finished. You're puzzled? I said "ice cream." That's all you need to hear. It's all you needed to know. Not satisfied? Okay, The ice cream is delicious. How's that? Service with a smile (it's the only way ice cream should ever be served). Summer is here so let's make this clear: ice cream! Plenty of parking. Enjoy your chilled treat here or get it to go. Friendly staff. Clean inside and out. The ice cream is cold. The price is right. Ice cream! read more

An afterschool treat before it gets really, really cold here in Denver. They have all of the typical flavors but with a twist on the names as well as a few unique locals like Pablo's coffee flavor. A great eat-in spot with kitschy decor and great music. We tried a few flavors, and while tasty and well made, nothing really popped. I will come back and try more. The service was cordial read more

My first visit to Nuggs certainly won't be my last, as it was such an enjoyable stop at the end of a very long day! There is plenty of parking in their adjacent lot and street parking on Colfax. They have both inside and outside seating. There is fun artwork all around the interior that brightens the place. They have a loyalty card, so when you buy single scoops or spend $50, you get one on them! Staffer Victoria was excellent, full of energy, and proving that she LOVES working at Nuggs with her favorite five flavors and a positive attitude. I selected the Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and it was incredible, a superb combination that I truly enjoyed. Their serving sizes in a cup were just the right size! I'm looking forward to my next stop at Nuggs! read more

What a cute spot. Definitely great for a little date or family fun time. It looks bigger than it is, so if the inside is all taken, the patio out front can seat a lot more people. The menu is a bit confusing, but it's unique and fun the way they've set it up. Unfortunately, they were out of the flavor that I wanted so I had to choose something else. Chocolate Cookies N Cream. So creamy and made with big chunks of oreo, which I appreciate. And the waffle cone was possibly the tastiest I've ever had. read more

Our favorite spot to get ice cream ! Service is always great, always kind and always quick even when it fills up.

This place is my favorite neighborhood ice cream spot. The space is cute and the staff are always friendly and patient. I love trying out new flavors as they're always tasty. read more

Fun. Friendly. Delightful. The ice cream is so good. The environment/ambiance is nice. Go there to have a fun time and enjoy some great ice cream. read more

Can't say I'm super blown away by the ice cream flavors when I tried them. They have a cute play on the ice cream names like Brotherfinger, Amazing Joy and that sort -- so I'll give them that. I got a scoop of Cookie Dough which IMO is good since they are generous with the chunks of dough. They have their own private parking lot but it can get full pretty quickly depending on the time of day. You can just park in the residential areas as an alternative. read more

I'm leaving a five star review without ever tasting their ice cream, but my daughter assures me it's absolutely delicious! You see, their customer service is five star worthy all by itself. My daughter is doing her annual birthday tradition of painting at the ceramics place across the street and my husband and I are missing her from miles away (in Los Angeles). Without hesitation, they delivered a sundae to surprise her - and even personalized it! Thanks for being great people - and it doesn't hurt that your coffee ice cream is fantastic!! read more

I have been to Nuggs multiple times and am never disappointed. So many ice cream flavors to choose from and they are all delicious-you can't go wrong! The staff is always so friendly and happy to let you try as many samples as you want to find the best flavor for you. Has adorable outdoor and indoor seating. Patio is dog friendly! read more

Came here after dinner for a sweet treat with friends, and they all ordered ice cream. I didn't but sampled everything they got because each scoop is huge. Love the variety of flavors available, which you can see posted above the queue. There seemed to be a long line but worth the wait. Quite a few people brought their dogs on the outdoor patio. Overall chill vibes! read more

Probably my favorite ice cream that I've tried in the Denver area! They have a great selection of flavors, and the ice cream is amazing. It's extra creamy and not too sweet, with flavors that really pop. I also appreciate how large the scoops are, so makes the $6 feel worth it. Definitely an ice cream place worth visiting if you're in the area! read more

Great place for a sweet treat. Came here on a Friday night and there was quite a line. I felt for the workers as the place closes at 10 and by the time we paid it was 9:30pm and the line was still out the door. They had lots of options and cute names for the flavors. It did take a minute because the people were asking for so many samples. Beyond annoying and inconsiderate when there is a massive line so close to closing. lol I don't know how those workers have such good patience. I suggest implementing a two sample per person limit. I will definitely come back for a guilty pleasure treat. Great for families as well. Inside and outside seating available as well as a private parking lot. Expect to pay around $5 - 10 dollars per person depending on what you get. Overall 4/5 read more

I first came to Nuggs over three years ago. I thought it was delicious and could not wait to come back and try taco Tuesday...somehow it fell off my radar and took me way longer to make it back! Stopped in on a Tuesday and got three tacos ($10.49). It was actually such a great deal! 3 waffle cone taco shells, each with a huge scoop of ice cream and unlimited toppings. We (2 hungry adults) couldn't even finish it all. We went with double stuffed cookies 'n cream, toasted coconut, and mint chip, with some Oreo and samoa toppings. We probably would've loaded up the toppings a bit more, but didn't realize they were all included, and there was already a line forming due to our flavor indecisiveness. I fully intended for the tacos to be "cute" and "Instagram-able" while falling a bit flat in taste, but this truly was sone of the best ice cream I have had in a long while! So incredibly smooth, creamy, and delicious. I am not a mint chip fan, but I actually liked Nuggs' mint chip! The toasted coconut and cookies n cream were incredible and I couldn't stop eating, despite being absolutely stuffed. I have been dreaming of those scoops since we left. Nuggs has a small parking lot, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. They are back to doing flavor samples too. I will be back [probably sooner and more frequently than I should]! read more

The Denver ice cream wars are real, but our family does have its favorite: Nuggs! They always have a new flavor to bring delight, consistently rich, balanced recipes with perfect texture (dense and creamy). Flavors aren't too experiential, our preference. Staff engaged and friendly. Fun art on the walls. read more

I love Nuggs! We visit every time we're in Denver...I can't believe I haven't written a review before now. They have fun and bright decor, parking, clean bathrooms, friendly service, and a wide variety of flavors of delicious ice cream. Truly, what more could you want!? They were gracious enough to let me sample multiple different flavors today and they were all great...it was hard to choose! I finally settled on a split scoop of peanut butter and jammin' and Mexican chocolate...both were creamy and they paired well together. The peanut butter ice cream was so good and it had chunks of fresh strawberry jam throughout - yum! The chocolate was rich with a hint of spice. I love that they let you do split scoops as well :) Thank you again for a great experience, Nuggs! read more

Came here a few months back for dessert after a lovely dinner and this was the perfect ending to our evening. I'm kicking myself because I can't for the life of me remember what I ordered, but I specifically remember telling my husband it was some of the best ice cream I've ever had and let me tell you folx, I consider myself an ice cream connoisseur. That's all I really have to say. Amazing. Epic. Come see for yourself. read more

Our kids are big ice cream connoisseurs, so we've been to pretty much every ice cream shop in town. Nuggs is consistently their favorite! They have unique flavors and always something new and exciting to try. The staff doesn't shy away from giving samples, so you always know you're getting what you want. The patio is super cute, especially all lit up at night. Our newest kid is their newest fan and we're looking forward to coming back all summer long (and beyond). This particular ice cream was called Strawberry Blonde - strawberry ice cream with golden Oreos. Delicious! read more

If you read my prior review you'll see that I'm a fan of dark chocolate ice cream. So today, having had chicken and potato salad for breakfast I figured . . . why not get a Naiman's Dark Chocolate and Cherry milkshake for lunch and finish hitting up all the food groups with that one brilliant menu choice! Great idea, huh? Well maybe it sounds like a stroke of genius to you, but for me when I went in for that inspired order little did I know that the milkshake would run me $30. Thirty dollars! What!?! How could a milkshake cost that much, you innocently ask. Well, check out the pix. It really does matter how your cups are made. Plants / shmantz. Give me a cup that doesn't have a crack in it that lets your shake shake-out all over your nicely dry-cleaned shirt and pants, and I'll show you a shake that costs a quarter as much (before tax, tip and dry-cleaning:). There must be a lesson here. And I'm trying to figure it out. Is it that every joy comes with a sadness? Or maybe that you never know what life has in store for you? Beats me. But here's what I do know: 1) That shake was dee-lish-ous, and 2) that mess on my shirt and pants was kinda embarrassing when I had to go to the bank on my way back to work. read more

The ice cream was a bit hard, but the flavors were good! Tried the brotherfinger in a cup.

The service was amazing! However they were extremely understaffed. I came on a very busy night and the workers were so nice but physically couldn't move the line fast because of how little people were working. read more

My daughter & I love this place. We go here at least once a week. The cookies & cream is the best!

The ice cream was great. I had a hangry snickers and chocolate chip shake. They had whip cream which made me happy. They also put my large shake in a large cup. They earned my 5 stars just for that. Every other place in Colorado puts a large shake or smoothie in a medium cup. My wife had a honey bee and dark chocolate cherry sundae which she loved. My daughter had cookie dough and cookies cream. The ice cream was just inhaled. lol. The service was already at five stars when he pulled out the large cup and whip cream. I was like Nuggs is s my next ice cream stop sorry sweet cow you have been toppled . The ambiance was good and surprisingly a clean bathroom. Nuggs keep it up for actual large cups for my 9 dollar shake. Expensive but well worth it on the large cup. I would pay the same at most other ice cream places and get half the ice cream. So Nuggs keep it up. I have just become a return customer. read more

There are so so many good ice cream places in Denver, it's really hard to decide which one to go to on any given night when the craving hits. But...Tuesdays are Taco Tuesday at Nuggs and it's a treat. For $9.99 you get 3 "tacos" in a waffle cone shell with 1 scoop of ice cream and unlimited toppings on each taco. The possibilities are endless and the staff has been super patient every time. The flavors are varied and creative although not as loaded as places like Right Cream or Little Man. read more

I got the Rocky Mountain road ice cream with m&ms as a topping and it was delicious! I love all their topping options and definitely want to come back to try more flavors. It was a convenient stop after visiting the Nature and Science Museum, although there was a bit of a line and limited available indoor seating at 9pm on a Friday night. read more

I can't say enough good things about Nuggs. I basically come here every Friday... Nuggs is located on Colfax and is one of my favorite ice cream shops in Denver. Although I always order the exact same thing (cookie dough and double stuffed cookies and cream), there are always large chunks in my ice cream and that's exactly what I'm looking for when I visit. Generally on a Friday night it's pretty busy, but the staff do a great job of moving the line along and answering any customer questions about the varieties of ice cream available. They have some seasonal flavors alongside some mainstays which make each visit a little different. The longest I've waited was probably around 10 minutes to get a scoop of ice cream. Their one scoop comes out to $5.13, which isn't too bad of a price for the quantity of ice cream you get. You're also able to do half/half scoops if you can't decide which flavor you want and end up choosing both! I love this place, and have started thinking about their ice cream just while writing this... read more

What a fun little spot! Went by for National ice cream day of course, and the service was fast and friendly despite having a line out the door. I loved the wide variety of flavor options and the ice cream was creamy and smooth, just how I like it. Definitely gonna become a summer staple! read more

Step 1 - Recognize that your husband deserves an excellent bday cake but that you aren't going to bake it or make it this year. Step 2 - Google "best ice cream cake Denver" Step 3 - enter Nuggs' website, which states that they "always have cakes in the case for last-minute pickup" Step 4 - stop on your way home from work, secure cookies and cream cake (Yelp says best flavor) Step 5 - watch your husband and his family demolish said cake Next time - get a scoop to-go for all your hard work. read more

The employees are very nice and quick to serve you. Two stars since the employees are nice. Not impressed with their ice cream at all. It is not smooth and lacks flavor. I was really excited to try their ice cream but for the over $5 I spent for a single scoop, I'm not impressed with the flavor and would have been better off getting a carton of ice cream at King Soopers. I took a few bites and the rest is going in the trash. read more
