Step inside Pikes Peak Chocolate and if you weren't already craving dessert, the smell alone is enough to get you to. The sweet smell of chocolates and ice cream combined is magical. My friends and I walked up to the ice cream counter and asked for several sample before deciding on what to get. I was very happy with my choice--Purple Mountain Majesty, a taro ice cream with chocolate cups with a raspberry filling, in a waffle cone. The pairing of taro and chocolate/raspberry was unexpectedly one of the most delicious ice cream pairings I've ever had. If you come here, you need to get it! read more

Pikes Peak Chocolate - Purple Mountain Majesty in a Waffle Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Expensive, but good ice cream. I wish they had a bit more options though. Ice cream is always a fun thing to do in manitou. So many ice cream shops to try out. Is it my favorite? No. Does it do the job? Yes. read more

The good: I got two marshmallow lollipop sticks that looked like pigs and 4 dark chocolate truffles (banana, mint, and two other flavors). I liked that the pigs came in two different sizes and came in milk and white chocolate (pink colored). The truffles all had the option of milk or dark chocolate. They sold Josh and John's ice cream inside. The bad: The line for ice cream was slow. The chocolates were on the pricey side. The truffles had a really thick outer chocolate part so biting into it was tougher. The interesting: They sell house plants inside too. There's a bench outside and some cement seating areas by the trees. read more

The text on the storefront promises chocolate, but the universe operates on a system of constant misdirection. Five of us wandered inside looking for ice cream instead. We were trying to recover from the physical indignity of ascending a mountain high enough that oxygen was treated as a luxury commodity. The government of Colorado apparently believes that every settlement in the entire state requires an abundant supply of frozen dairy. If true, this is an enlightened public policy. The shop was completely empty when we arrived. A lone young man stood behind the counter because his coworker was on break. He did not look at us with the despair usually reserved for a sudden crowd. He simply smiled and began scooping with the enthusiastic efficiency of a soldier waiting for reinforcements. I purchased a double scoop containing Salted Peanut Butter Cup and a flavor called Moose on the Loose. The second flavor contained enormous chunks of fudge that were buried deep within the cream like forgotten treasure. It was exactly the sort of heavy molecular fuel a human body requires after arguing with a giant rock. There was also a glass cooler filled with vintage sodas. Nostalgia routinely robs my wallet before my intellect can mount a defense. I purchased an RC Cola and spent ten minutes explaining to the members of our group born in the 90's that there was a time in human history when cola came in more than two respectable varieties. The ice cream was excellent and my history lesson was free. If you find yourself in Manitou Springs with tired lungs, you could do a great deal worse. read more

Many interesting flavors and combinations you can go for. The young staff there are quite helpful, especially since we got there the moment they opened quite early in the morning. We were trying to go for the incline challenge so having a bit of sugar in your belly is a nice energy perk. read more

Tasty spot for some ice cream and souvenirs in manitou springs. Really liked their ube ice cream that was filled with chocolate chips and was creamy as well. Get your fill of fridge magnets and sweet treats to start or end your day with a smile. read more

Pikes Peak Chocolate - Ube and strawberry ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Only place I've ever seen taro ice cream and it was delicious! The taro flavor was so unique. Great place for a tourist stop.

Stumbled across this ice cream spot after dinner. There were a few options that stuck out for me - including what was the Colorado cookies n cream. Apparently it's not your typical Oreo cookies n cream, but it has a chocolate base. Unfortunately, there wasn't much of it available after like 7:30pm, so I settled for my 2nd favorite flavor: chocolate chip cookie dough. First, those cookie dough chunks were something else. Nice, huge, and plentiful! Also, I appreciate a generous single scoop. This was more than plenty for me and I'd highly recommend anyone to visit. At $3.99/single scoop, that's a damn good deal. read more

Pikes Peak Chocolate - Chocolate chip cookie dough - single scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Our group of 7 walked in in search for something sweet after a great dinner. Half of us got ice cream and the other half got chocolates. I can't remember what flavors of ice cream they had but I know their scoops were huge and they all had waffle cones. I opted for chocolates for the plane ride back home. I was a little disappointed they didn't have marzipan but they had a huge selection of candies I forgot all about them. The lady behind the counter was nice enough to give us a coupon for 10% off their sister store..which was perfect because we wanted some coffee. Great little gem in the middle of Manitou Springs! read more

Just finishing the Manitou incline and desperate for ice cream, we came to this place since it has the shortest line among other ice cream shops in sight. Got 2 scoops with green tea and strawberry flavor. Note, if you are looking for a matcha flavor, this green tea flavor is not it! Overall, solid ice cream flavor and texture. read more

The ice cream was da bomb. Def tasted home made. Tried dark chocolate Irish cream truffle but chocolate was a little dense, however tasted good. So many delicious treats. read more

Reasonably priced ice cream inside a tourist town on Main Street. There's around 4-5 ice cream places in Manitou Springs but this had a reasonable line and selection. We got the green tea and strawberry flavor; price and portions were reasonable and it's a good treat during the summer! read more

Pikes Peak Chocolate - The ice cream menu is limited but delicious - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

All the flavors we tried out were great. Did not try the chocolate but those looked good as well. They are associated with Red Dog Coffee 3 doors East. We went into Red Dog Coffee and they have a few different flavors of ice cream including coffee ice cream which looked good. Pikes Peak has more options and more flavors. But they are close together so you can check both places before you decide. Will need to go back to test them out. We walked into Red Dog first and they gave us a coupon for Pikes Peak. read more

Great small business with outstanding home made ice cream! What else can I say? This little shop made the end of our visit in Manitou Springs just that much better! read more

Stopped off here during a recent trip back to Colorado. Stumbled onto them looking for ice cream while driving thru Manitou. Glad we stopped as the selections were great the portions were generous and the prices were more than reasonable. Definitely a great stop if you are in the Manitou Springs area. read more

Had to stop at this wonderful ice cream shop a few times during our trip! Flavors were unique and delicious! Generous scoops too!

What a wonderful experience it is to drop by Pikes peak chocolate and ice cream. I have probably stopped by here a handful of times and I love it each time! Here are the reasons why I love this place and I highly recommend it! Great atmosphere and staff: The atmosphere is beautiful. The gorgeous chocolate display and the cute trinkets provide a fun and visually stimulating experience. Because there is so much to see the line usually goes by quick. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. They are always smiling and eager to help which makes for such a great experience each time. Great dessert: Let me mention that they have tons of chocolate and ice cream options. The chocolate and fudge gets me every time and is amazing! But my favorite thing to get is the REDBULL SHAKE! They are the reason I discovered the existence of REDBULL SHAKES! After trying this shake my life has never been the same. When I read REDBULL milkshake on the menu I was intrigued and slightly nervous! As a Red Bull fanatic, I had to order it and sure enough, it became love at first sip! I am still amazed at how they can mix Redbull and dairy and create a perfect concoction! PRICING: For a high quality chocolate and ice cream shop in Manitou Springs, it is priced right! In fact, it's so worth it and when you check in on yelp they often have great rewards. Like a free truffle or 10% off! I absolutely love this place for many reasons but overall it is a great place where I am able to take my daughter and make life long memories! Plus, It is where I get my Red Bull and ice cream fix! If you are in Manitou Springs and want some dessert definitely stop by Pikes Peak ice cream & chocolate! read more

I buy truffles here as Christmas gifts for family members. Always a hit! Easily reached in central Manitou.

Pikes Peak Chocolate hosted us for a Yelp event where I tried an ice cream shake and my friend had a double scoop cone. They have ube ice cream which I was super excited about since it's so hard to find that in COS! Mix it with the oatmeal ice cream and you have a delightful shake ready to be devoured. Friendly staff and great treats! They have a great variety of josh and johns ice cream along with desserts like bonbons and cookies. Unfortunately there isn't any indoor seating which makes it hard to meet up with friends in the winter. Otherwise a wonderful place to satisfy your sweet tooth while walking around Manitou Springs! read more

Good ice cream. Even better if you just ran the incline. It's okay if you just walked the incline too. You still deserve ice cream. Of course I went for the waffle cone. It's the best cone of the bunch and we all know it. The oatmeal cookie was something different from flavors you'll find elsewhere and one worth getting. Naturally, there's also lots of chocolate to be had here. It all looked good but I can only do so much. Whatever your sweet tooth desires, I'm sure you'll find something here to satisfy. read more

I wanted to try the local ice cream before I left Colorado Springs and headed back to the heat in Tucson AZ. The young man behind the counter was really kind and allowed me to sample the different varieties of ice creams they have. I finally decided two scoops in a waffle cone. The flavors I got were yellow cake ice cream and blood orange sorbet. The combination of the two really complimented each other really well. So glad I stopped by for dessert. read more

What can I say - a haven for Knick nacks of nerd stuff from The Princess Bride to Star Trek to Bob Ross and then chocolate and Josh and John's Ice Cream. The two major food groups are well served and the celebration of popular shows and movies gone by paraphernalia is both amusing and tempting. Of course the chocolate and ice cream are delicious and work well as a break from the various wandering in Manitou Springs. read more

Confections of deliciousness galore. The staff is friendly and there is eclectic décor including a bounty of Star Wars merchandize. The Darth Vader lords over the area with swagger. One can't go wrong with the Dark Lord of the Sith beckoning you to go cray with the truffle purchases. I make a point to stop here whenever I am in Manitou. I am never disappointed. The one downer is the coffee. I ordered an Americano and it was weak and not very good. It was like a regular coffee but worse. I do not fault them because their main business is chocolate and they do super in that arena. This quaint business is a must-see. Go out of your way for a visit. You'll be glad you did. read more

Just tried to get ice cream here after the incline. I waited patiently in line behind 4 customers only for the people behind me to rush me while I tried a couple flavors. They had a small child with them and asked me to move twice so they could lift her up to see the flavors, as if I wasn't standing there looking at the flavors myself. The staff said nothing to them so I decided not to get ice cream at all. I know it's busy but the staff should make sure everyone has their turn. read more

This is great place is great to pick up a scoop of Josh & John's ice cream. I got a coffee ice cream that had chocolate covered coffee beans in it and it totally rocked my world. They also have a wall full of fantastic mugs and fun things! I saw a BB8 Teapot that I absolutely fell in love with. They also have a long case of chocolates. They don't mar it there and I don't think it's by a local company, so I wasn't very interested in getting any. That coffee ice cream was all that I needed! read more

Great ice cream. Wife and I always stop by when we are in Manitou. Definitely mist try on a cold winter day.

Nestled in Manitou Springs lies this hidden gem. Immediately upon walking in, you achieve the feeling of being a kid again as you look down the counter at all of the imaginative and beautiful treats. This shop isn't all looks though-there are tastes, and smells that will enrapture your senses. This is part candy, part ice cream shop and part gift shop. There was an eclectic blend of mugs, stickers, unique metal lunch boxes and other gifts. The counter has truffles, bark, fudge, and any chocolate combination you could possibly imagine. There are (gasp!) real sugar sodas housed in a cooler. The shop keeper was very friendly! She answered every question we had before we settled on a Josh and Johns salted Carmel peanut butter banana shake. It was sweet, salty, and savory-even healthy (lol) because I added fruit! My fiancé got the peppermint bark. It was sweet, chocolatey, rich and crunchy with peppermint bits. A lovely introduction into the holiday season! I got the toffee bark with espresso bits. It had a nice crunch, accompanied by the kick of espresso bits laced through it. This was a great experience, the staff is friendly and we loved the variety. We will venture back into the beauty of Manitou to share this experience again! read more

Excellent ice cream! They have tons of flavors and I had the chocolate coconut flavor and it tasted exactly like an Almond Joy, complete with real coconut and all!

I came here last August on a birthday trip and after trying their ice cream once and discovering it's the best I've probably ever had, I returned multiple times! On my actual birthday I got ice cream there twice in one day! I think in the 3 days we were in Manitou Springs, I got ice cream there 4 times. And when I come back to MS, I will for sure be stopping in! read more

Pikes Peak Chocolate has a large variety of chocolates, a few delectable-looking cupcakes, and houses Josh & John's ice cream. This dessert shop is definitely worth taking a peek in and will most likely have something you will want to try. I keep getting ice cream there due to the heat and need of something cold and sweet after a visit to the zoo, but next time, I vow I shall return with a review of a cupcake! I did try a salt water taffy sample of what seemed to be Dr. Pepper flavour and was not disappointed. read more

Great ice cream and selection of desserts. The fudge was great! Also cute little souvenirs to choose from!

Ch ch ch cherry bomb!! One of the first places I stop when visiting Manitou Springs, I get a bag of yummy chocolates to last all week (and maybe use as bribes). You must get at least two of anything that looks good because you'll be forced to share. The cherry bombs and Hawaiian salted caramels are a must. read more

Everywhere you stand you are in someone's way. Two many employees running back and forth. Ice cream was ok.

Everything was fresh and tasted amazing.We ended up getting a little sampling of a bunch of different candy types. My favorite was the almond berry dark chocolate bark. It was great! They had some many sweets to try it would take a couple visits to try them all. Definitely a fun little place to stop in if your near by. read more
