    Peppermint bark
    Nina C.

    Loved this place! Came for the speakeasy in the back, but ended up being so intrigued by the flavors that on the way out, I grabbed a scoop. The girl working was so sweet, she let me sample the peppermint bark, and the butterscotch coffee, both of them were absolutely delicious, such intense flavor profiles with a crunchy element to really set it off. They were even able to split a single scoop into two flavors, at no extra cost, which was perfect for me to get both of these. The prices are normal, about seven dollars for the scoop. Loved this place, it's so unassuming. There are no tables to sit down, however so it's kind of a grab and go situation, or you could just walk through the freezer into the bar in the back haha.

    marshmallow cloud

    i live a few blocks from sweet action and will never turn down an ice cream run. the staff is truly the highlight. every time we come here we are met with the kindest energy on earth. they have interesting flavors. nothing bad. some of the flavors don't have enough toppings mixed in. i really really love the marshmallow cloud option. they put marshmallow fluff on top and then torch it so you have a crispy marshmallow layer on top of your ice cream. definitely get the cloud. not a ton of seating inside and a few tables outside. they do have a speakeasy inside which I've yet to checkout. the shop gets busy and depending on who is working, can get extremely backed up. be prepared to wait for a bit but it's worth it. i normally will opt for something sweet like butterscotch, butter pecan, any of the coffee flavors, milks & cookies, etc. i also really enjoy their sorbets! the mango and fruit punch half and half is excellent. definitely on the pricier side for ice cream. serving sizes are smaller and add up quick if you get any toppings. all in all, happy to have this in the neighborhood. will come back for cloud.

    Sweet action is always a good choice. The ice cream flavors online are generally always in stock in the store EXCEPT for the fudge options. The marshmallow fluff option is a topper that gets roasted onto your ice cream. The gooey texture on the bottom layer plus the semi-crunchy hardened top layer are hard to pass up, considering your ice cream doesn't get warm/melt. The shops ALWAYS clean, the music is low enough to not be a distraction, and the employees are nice. Service isn't very fast though, so don't come in a hurry.

    Love Sweet Action! Always lived in this area and have been coming here since it was Frozen Matter. The speakeasy in the back, Retrograde, is a cute plus. Plenty of street parking around. I love all the dairy-free options they have and the alcohol infused flavors! The only thing that I'm mad at is that they have not brought back the vegan banana flavor! With this, their rotating flavors give a good chance to try unique flavors each time I stop by!

    While on vacation, if I want ice cream, then I want ice cream whenever I want it. I found Sweet Action, an ice cream shop a few blocks away from a restaurant that I ate at. While most, if not all, places ask for tips these days, this one doesn't, so keep that in mind before visiting. Upon walking inside, I immediately knew that I wanted an ice cream sundae, but also realized at the same time that they had a sign up that said that they were out of hot fudge. Despite this, they were happy enough to substitute it for chocolate sauce, which, according to one of the employees, had a similar taste to chocolate pudding. That was good enough for me, though. I ordered their brownie point sundae ($15 plus tax), which included chocolate ice cream, two brownies (one hot and one cold), chocolate sauce, and whipped cream on top. It was really good and I was able to finish the entire thing, but it was not really worth its' value, with it coming in a medium cup. I would come back again but choose something that matches its' value. There is no seating inside, but they have one picnic table that is accessible through a back door, if you're lucky enough to get it. Otherwise there's a bench on the sidewalk a few feet away. This is worth checking out if you live in the neighborhood or just visiting. Very good sundaes!

    Such a cute ice cream shop!, All three flavors we tried get a thumbs up.. The person that helped with the ice cream was really nice. Definitely would recommend and try again soon There's a small seating area, inside and outside the shop.

    Really fantastic and unique flavor options for ice cream and late night sweet treats. They are so gracious and let you sample your options so you can get exactly what you want. They even have waffle cone pieces for dog treats. No seating so this is an order and go place.

    My friends and I actually came to this spot, because inside the store behind doors is a speakeasy, but after we were done, we decided to get a sweet treat. I got the lemonade flavored sorbet and thought it really hit the spot! It was so refreshing and sorbet is always my favorite because it isn't creamy and doesn't get heavy. If you're looking for a treat after the speakeasy, I would recommend getting a scoop!

    The drinks were good as well as the vibe. But for $23 with tip I wish it wasn't as salty.....

    The service was good and the ice cream was great. Although a little bit on the expensive side. I particularly like the salted caramel.

    The banana pudding "nachos" just changed my life!…read more So lucky to have stumbled upon this place after hitting the natural history museum. Amazing service and amazing ice cream!

    I don't even know where to start because I am STILL thinking about this place days later. We…read morestumbled upon this little gem completely by accident while visiting the Natural History Museum, and honestly? Best accidental discovery of my entire trip to Denver. This tiny, adorable hole-in-the-wall shop is everything you want in a neighborhood ice cream spot -- warm, welcoming, unpretentious, and run by two of the most genuinely lovely women I've ever encountered in the food service industry. From the moment our group of six walked in, we felt like we'd been coming here for years. They were patient, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about every single thing they make. Now let me talk about the ICE CREAM, because wow. Six people, multiple flavors between us, and not one single complaint -- which if you know my family, is basically a miracle. Everything was rich, creamy, and tasted completely homemade in the best possible way. But the thing that absolutely sent me over the edge? BANANA PUDDING. Multiple banana pudding options. I grew up in the South and I have been low-key grieving the lack of banana pudding culture everywhere else I've lived, and here it is -- in Denver, Colorado -- done absolutely right. I may have embarrassed myself slightly. No regrets. This is a Black woman-owned business and these two have built something truly special. It's family-friendly, it's joyful, and it has that rare quality of feeling like a place that was made with real love. If you're anywhere near the museum, you would be genuinely doing yourself a disservice to walk past this place. Go in. Get the banana pudding. Thank me later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
