Service was amazing! Young girl working at 6:30 pm on Thursday, was so sweet and helpful. She deserves a raise! I'm serious she was so passionate about the store and the owners, and knowledgeable about the flavors! The ice cream was really delicious too. Great little place we ran into! 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

Fun Food Fact: Ever had a "brain freeze?" Well, what's actually happening: when something really cold touches the roof of your mouth, the blood vessels that run between your mouth and your brain tense up, trapping blood in your brain. The pressure from that extra blood causes the brain pain. Try pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth -- this warms the roof up enough that the vessels will unclench. Wish I would have known that earlier lol when I was chowing down on this massive ice cream sandwich from Nuggs Ice Cream. No complaints though - totally worth it!! And I'm not kidding when I say massive (neither are they - that's what it's called) and I definitely wasn't prepared. It's more than enough for 2 people and you get to choose two flavors of ice cream. Today I went on the sweeter side with Strawberry Blonde and Cake Batter (both were creamy, ice creamy deliciousness) but there were no shortage of flavors to choose from. My hubs opted for a root beer float and it was easily gone before we got home. This was our first visit but certainly not our last - and with 90° degree days in the forecast, I have a feeling we'll be back much sooner than later. read more

Nuggs Ice Cream - Massive Ice Cream Sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great ice cream and atmosphere is amazing! Service is hard to beat. My son loves it here and he is 8 so he knows what's is good ;)

This was the first place we went after some restaurants opened up following COVID-19. They're doing a great job with precautions, only 10 people allowed inside, 16 on the patio which they have conveniently taped spaces on the benches so you know where to sit to remain 6 feet apart, and one of the workers came out and sanitized the door and benches while we were there. Their ice cream was tasty! I got the midnight raz which is similar to black raspberry, my only complaint is it had a lot of seeds in it that got stuck in my teeth, but that leads me to believe it's more fresh! My boyfriend got brother finger (I think is what it was called) and said it was really good! read more

Nuggs was my first ice cream experience in Denver and seems to be a solid choice to satisfy your cravings. During COVID-19, the shop has thoughtfully laid out markers for appropriate physical distancing and has a great patio layout for you to enjoy your ice cream outside. I went at about 8pm on a weeknight and waited in line for about 10 min. As soon as you walk into the store, you get a nice waft of their waffle cone. It immediately convinces you that a waffle cone is the right choice. I was excited to check out the flavors and thought it was a bit difficult to see all the choices before having to make my decision based on the spacing between parties in the line, but they do have written signs that are visible. I thought that their flavor selection was pretty classic with a good range of flavors to appeal to any ice cream lover. I loved the coffee ice cream I chose, but wasn't as big of a fan of the mint chocolate chip, which didn't have as much of a unique or rich flavor that I would have liked. I think it was more of a personal preference though. The ice cream is certainly a bit pricey though, so that is why I'd dock it from a 5 to 4 based on the value for taste. Next time, based on these reviews, I'm going to have to try their ice cream cake and/or cookie ice cream sandwich. Looking forward to trying new flavors and combinations! read more

Lovely service except for the manager, Aaron. Aaron was generally condescending and seemed like he was on some sort of stimulant. Perhaps it was caffeine, or he just has a lot of energy, but it was very off-putting. Will definitely think twice before visiting again. read more

Really great local ice cream shop with cookie sandwiches the size of your face!! Value: 5, Taste: 4.5, Atmosphere: 5, Service: 5 We just moved here and were really sad about losing our favorite ice cream place back home - needless to say we found our new regular ice cream place. They have a ton of really great flavors and they have a couple of fun options including the ice cream sandwich, floats, etc. The ship itself has some nice outdoor seating and has a cute old time ice cream shop feel inside. We got the ice cream sandwich with coffee ice cream and praline (you can choose two flavors). We were stunned that for $8 we got two huge chocolate chip cookies the size of a take out container sandwiching two generous portions of ice cream. The cookies were just the right amount of crispy to hold their shape but slightly soft in the center still. The coffee ice cream was some of the best coffee ice cream I have had and had a great rich flavor and smooth texture. The praline ice cream could have used a more buttery base ice cream (I think they use vanilla), but there were lots of tasty pecans. Overall, we have found our new favorite ice cream place! Great tasting ice cream at a great price/portion size. read more

Great neighborhood ice cream shop. We love the patio on a sunny day.

I love ice cream & I've had a LOT of ice cream in my life, but Nuggs might be my new Denver favorite! Nuggs really commits to its flavors, and they're all amazing. The Brotherfinger and double stuffed cookies and cream were so tasty, I'm super excited to have a new ice cream spot to regular. Service was great and the ladies working didn't mind my millions of samples. Sorry - but there's just to many good flavors on the board not to try them all! read more

We were on our way to an event, had some time to kill and what better way than to stop in an ice cream shop that we'd never been to....and dang, it was a great idea! I had the egg nog - none of that fake egg nog flavor here. Rich custard base with the perfect amount of spice. I ordered a single cone, which was a staggering HUGE cone that required a to go cup and lid so that I could enjoy the rest later. read more

Nuggs is great! I've been driving past this place for over 3 years, and only just stepped in a few weeks ago. I always wondered what all the raving was about with this place?!? Kids, firemen, businessmen, adults, teenagers....all walks of life come here. Then I tasted the ice cream and everything made sense. This place makes and serves the BEST ice cream in the Western Hemisphere, and possibly the globe. With that been said, it's so darn good, words can't describe the flavor of the ice cream they sell here! My wife loves the Dark Chocolate Cherry flavor, she says it's really good. Just come in and taste the flavor! read more

Had the Mexican chocolate- it was so so good! Husband tried the mama bear which is like a blueberry muffin and he said it was delicious

Wow such delicious ice cream! It was our first time there and didn't know what to expect. My boyfriend got the ice cream cookie sandwich and I got a scoop of the strawberry blonde. The cookie sandwich is huuuuge, definitely enough for 2 of even more people to split. We got birthday cake ice cream and it was probably the best we've ever had. Pictured is just half of the sandwich. Also the place is decorated really cute and there's a nice lit up patio to sit outside and eat. read more

Love this place in Park Hill. Their ice cream is amazing and they even have a specialty ice cream called "Blue Moon".... now I've had it in the Midwest, but never seen it anywhere else. Be cautious about getting more than one scoop... they're big. Creamy mouth feel and high quality ingredients are like velvet on your tongue... yes, I said it. One of my favs in Denver. read more

Love that they have blue moon, one of my favorite flavors. A lot of different flavor varieties available. Most traditional but some more unique. Service is always quick and staff is friendly. read more

I'd come back. That was my first thought that came to mind just after receiving my blue moon ice cream cookie sandwich. Not because of the ice cream or the cookies that made up the sandwich but those were damn good too. Haha. It was just everything about Nuggs that made me smile. The second I stepped in, my eyeballs noticed how bright and clean it was inside. Plus, there were plenty of seats and tables both in- and outside. The two guys working the night my family and I came were sociable and friendly where they definitely make a fun impression on Nuggs. The flavors also had unique or silly names like Queen Bee, Amazing Joy, and Pablo's Danger Monkey Coffee, which, I don't why, gave me a quick laugh and grin. If you're wondering what Blue Moon tastes like.. it tastes just like Froot Loops. FROOT LOOPS! I don't even eat cereal but Froot Loop-flavored ice cream is amazing. That is all I can remember about Nuggs before destroying my ice cream sandwich. I'll try to remember more on my next visit.. or not. read more

Nuggs Ice Cream - Waffle cone with strawberry blonde and turtle/ salted caramel and blueberry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Holy delicious!!! We had Nuggs Ice Cream design an ice cream cake for our friend's birthday. There are dozens of options to choose from ice cream flavors, to toppings, to designs/phrases. We opted for premium toppings and had a cookie cake covered with chocolate icing, Reeses pieces and Oreos with a fondant 'Happy Birthday' banner. The cake was definitely a fan favorite! Ordering online was easy, but I appreciated the courtesy call to ensure they got it right. Payment and pickup was also easy. Highly recommend Nuggs for a delicious afternoon treat or a birthday party slam dunk! read more

I am the ice cream queen. There's not an ice cream flavor I wouldn't try and not an ice cream amount that could satisfy my insatiable lust for ice cream. It is one of my true loves. So naturally I was excited to see a new ice cream place open up on colfax. It wasn't until today, a snowy winter day, that I was able to try it. I tried a single scoop of amazing joy (almond joy) & blueberry ice cream. The flavors aren't as distinct/strong as I would have liked (especially with the blueberry). I also tried my friends rocky road. It was rich, which was nice, but there were no marshmallows! Their key lime flavor isn't green colored but instead is white like vanilla. It tastes just like key lime pie. Their kids scoop is more than enough ice cream for one person and their sugar cone was crunchy and fresh. I like the clean & modern interior with the white plastic chairs and the celebrity paintings on the wall. I also like the old fashioned ice cream ads above the cashier that resembled the stickers you'd see on ice cream trucks. They had fun ice cream flavors that incorporated candies (almond joy, Milky Way, etc.). They also have milk shakes & ice cream cakes. The worker was cheerful & helpful. The other worker however seemed to be just hanging out outside the counter and chatting it up. read more

friendly, professional yet relaxed staff. great ice cream. Music is a little obnoxious but was much better tonight...

I'm not the biggest ice cream connoisseur but my boyfriend is & I wanted to get a top notch ice cream cake for his birthday since he's pretty picky about his ice cream. Googling led me to Nuggs and I could not be happier. We live about 20 minutes away so had never been to Nuggs & didn't know what to expect but I was blown away with both the design of the cake & the ice cream itself. My boyfriend cannot stop raving about the double stuffed cookies & cream. Definitely would recommend Nuggs to anyone -- especially if you're looking for an amazing ice cream cake to celebrate an occasion. read more

I had my first Nuggs experience a couple months ago. I absolutely love their double stuffed cookies and cream. The ice cream here is so smooth and creamy and haven't ever experienced any ice chunks. They even have great toppings like fresh chocolate chip cookie pieces and brownies. Not to mention their single scoop is huge!! It's more like a double. Love Nuggs!! read more

Ice cream. Some unique flavors, but most you can find elsewhere. the honey is the highly recommended from this girl. they are friendly scoopers, but tend to be a bit slow when it comes to moving the line along. the affogato was strong - almost too much so, though - proving they are not barristas. stick to a cone or a cup. all of the ice cream is made in house, but i don't really see a need to go out of your way. read more

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream ! Who needs grocery store ice cream when you have this place. Yes it's open in winter. The whole family just loves it. They have the best Malts in town. I also love the giant ice cream cookie sandwich. It's sooo big I have to eat it over a few days. My kids love that they have some blue flavor. ( I forget what it's called) they also have sherbet too. Each flavor is soo good because you can taste that it's homemade and fresh. I also know they have an ice cream truck that goes to the local farmers market in the summer. If you see the blue truck you should give them a try. read more

So many homemade flavors to choose from, all at my disposal to taste. Either the guy had a sugar high himself, was bored on that wonderful empty Tuesday night, or was just blissfully happy, whatever the case was he made it rain ice cream samples! He said we could taste as many as we'd like. Such an amazing man! I tried a fruity pebble flavor, I can't remember the name but it was bright blue - so you can't miss it. It was sweeter than sugar and as a responsible adult I decided to respectfully decline that dose of diabetes. I'm sure kids go crazy for that one. Rocky road looked amazing but I was too full to try them all. Besides just asking about popular flavors, I think one of the best ways to select the best ice cream is to look at which canisters have the least amount remaining. I could see the bottom of the strawberry shortcake ice cream container and I knew that was the one. The guy working there said it was his favorite. I'm a chocolate lover and typically stick true to it, but that strawberry shortcake had real frozen strawberries and cake embedded throughout and I couldn't stop myself. We got a pint to go and I walked out with a big ol' scoop of it in a cup too. Sorry chocolate, you'll have to take a back seat on this one! My roommate really enjoyed the cookie dough, she said mint chocolate chip was ok. It was Taco Tuesday. Their ice cream tacos come in a taco shaped waffle cone. I could foresee the waffle snapping in half and my ice cream falling through so I took a hard pass on that offer. I'll be going here again. And just in case you need more of a reason to come here, I'll say it, it's better than Milkroll by miles. read more

Amazing ice cream! They always have great flavors to choose from. The staff is always pleasant and happy.

Great ice cream, great staff, go get ice cream immediately. They make amazing sundaes.

They advertise as having nut-free options and being allergy aware, but this was not my experience. All of the flavors were mixed together in a couple coolers, no mind to allergens. Obviously this does not limit cross contact since scoops are reused in different containers. When I asked if they could use a clean scoop and get a fresh tub from the back, I was told (and I quote), "this is as good as it's going to get" while rolling his eyes, sighing and making me feel like a complete burden for wanting to stay safe. How dare he make me feel bad about an allergy I have no control over!! What a inconsiderate, terrible person, and the other staff around him did not correct this behavior. I'm disgusted with this persons behavior and have no confidence in their food safety or allergy awareness. If you are an allergy sufferer, this place doesn't actually care or try to work with you. Might as well go to any other shop without "awareness" Not sure if this was made obvious by the above review, but I will NEVER come here again and will be active in speaking out against this place to allergy sufferers of any capacity. No ice cream is worth your life, or dealing with these people. Bye read more

We didn't enjoy it. Traveling around trying all the ice cream in Denver and this was near the bottom. Very icy texture. Came to try the Tuesday Waffle tacos but they didn't have any -they said they were out. ‍ read more

Nuggs is as sweet as can be! The ambiance and ice creams are on point for a yummy dessert after dinner in the East Colfax area. Upon entering we were greeted with a friendly, warm "Welcome!" at the door and offered to try some samples - a relief to receive an offer for samples as I was walking in w two ice cream hungry littles that almost always choose the same blue raspberry flavors. This time they felt they had control over their ice cream experience and kept the Nuggs guy busy with dipping this one and that one for them to try. After sampling 3 each, I had them settle on a flavor but not before trying my own 2 samples and exiting the sampling game right then and there - the Blue Moon & Birthday Cake flavors had me sold, and I'm normally a richer flavor seeker but these two together just did it for me today. So good! I just wish their homemade waffle cone was also made into a cup as I knew I couldn't finish my double scoop right in one sitting. Despite hubby AND kids sneaking digs of my cream, and eating a good portion myself, I still have plenty leftover for a late night treat. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The consistency and flavors are the best I've had in awhile. read more

Loved everything about this place. Such a unique selection of flavors, plus the staff was very generous in giving samples. Plus patient with me and my friends trying to pick flavors. Then, their scoops are huge, so you can get 1 scoop but with two flavors - so two smaller scoops if you can't decide on flavors. Waffle cones were fresh and crispy and delicious, and I can't wait to try more flavors. read more

This little mom and pop shop is adorable. The serving sizes are ridiculously generous and they have a punch card to earn more delicious frozen treats.
