    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.

    Palisades peach

    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.

    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!

    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

    a cup of chocolate ice cream

    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!

    Harlee S.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    Taco Tuesday! Toasted Coconut, Double Stuf Oreo, and Mint Chocolate Chip
    Emily C.

    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]!

I don't throw around the word "franchise" lightly. But I walked out of Mango Mango Dessert on Colorado Blvd genuinely researching whether I could open one in centennial or south area. That should tell you everything. The crepe cake is what got me. Thin crepe after thin crepe, stacked with cream, and somehow light enough that you don't feel like a monster for finishing it. We also grabbed some to bring home... which lasted about 20 minutes if I'm being honest. Perfect end of night dessert. Here is the thing though... this place doesn't feel like it was built for an American audience. It feels like someone picked it up directly from Asia and just set it down on Colorado Blvd, completely intact. The flavors, the presentation, the whole experience... it's the real deal. Not a watered down approximation of what Americans think Asian dessert tastes like. The actual thing. Now the lines. They are long. At all hours. And the answer is yes... people just love it this much. A line that long is usually trying to tell you something. Go. Just bring a bag if patience.

They also use high quality, locally sourced ingredients, and it shows in the flavor. Go for the cake, but definitely stay for more.

They were more filling than I expected but also I didn't think about how much bread there was until after. Also got the key lime pie for dessert later in the day which I loved. Good amount of whipped cream, and had great flavor. Not too crumbly on the crust either. And finally I did get the take and bake chicken pot pie. Which I thought was excellent. Fair value for the size, I think. The large got me 3 meals but probably could have stretched it to 4. But it was so good that I just kept eating more. Had good amounts of chicken in it and good ratio with the veggies. I would definitely return here. Would definitely get the pot pies and key lime pie again. I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but if I was in the area and needing something quick and easy to eat, I would get 1 of the hot and ready sandwiches too - I thought they were fairly priced too.
