    Oreo chocolate ice cream (I think...)
    Daniela S.

    Sweet action cake highly recommended by a friend -- and it did not disappoint! One of the yummiest ice cream scoops I've ever had. I can't remember the name of the flavor, but it had Oreos. It was creamy, rich, and I chocolate-y enough. I went late in the evening (maybe an hour before closing) + parking wasn't too bad (right across the street). It's a super cute establishment! I can't wait to go back.

    Got some ice cream here after seeing a comedy show next-door, the staff was really nice and the place was cute with a few small tables in the back I tried a few different ice creams before deciding, including the Beetlejuice, leftover from Halloween, but i felt they were lacking in flavor. It was just very soft, Then I tried the salted butterscotch and felt it had a lot more zap to it. I wanted to split my scoop with two flavors, but at that point I had already tried three or four flavors and didn't want to keep asking to try more lol. So I got the salted butterscotch and tried the cake explosion without sampling it first. I was a little disappointed by it, I felt it was also a little lackluster in flavor, but with the salted butterscotch, it was good

    I absolutely adore this chic little ice cream joint. It's located right on Broadway in a very eclectic part of town. It's a very queer area and the LGBTG patrons are my tribe. I feel comfortable among my kind, that's for sure. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The place is clean, well organized and I really enjoy the huge open window space looking out on Broadway. It's a great way to people watch, enjoy the evening and eat ice cream. I ordered a scoop of pina colada sorbet in a waffle cone and it was pure heaven. Creamy, smooth, cold and yummy. I love this area of Broadway and now I have yet another reason to spend time among my people.

    If you're in broadway and looking for something sweet, come to Sweet Action. They have a nice selection of flavors to choose from and they have a nice variety of GF and Vegan choices. They have samples to try. It's a nice little spot with plenty of seating. A nice place if you're looking for dessert after dinner. I got the banana toffee and that was actually really delicious. However, when I sampled it, I didn't taste any chocolate chips but it did come with chocolate so not my cup of tea. Otherwise, it tasted like banana bread as ice cream. The flavors do change so there's always something new to try.

    Coffee Road ice cream with pecans
    Bennett P.

    After a mid-day walk on the hottest day in over 2 weeks, I needed a place to sit and cool off. Since there are few shaded benches on Broadway, I came to Sweet Action. I noticed 2 new alcoholic ice creams &1 alcholic sorbet plus new ice creams. I chose the Coffee Road with coffee ice cream and pecans. The server mentioned that it had pecans in it. She said some customers recently complained about the nuts but didn't read the menu board. It clearly indicates nuts. Maybe scanning phone screens too much, people are losing comprehension skills. The Ice cream was smooth and a little sweet with crunchy pecans. Plenty of indoor seating with their unique garage door counter. You can buy pints and I saw new dairy-free frozen desserts in a cookie. Also new pup cups. They do not accept tips and only take credit/debit cards.

    I love Sweet Action! They have the absolute best flavors and EVERYONE can find a flavor that they like. They also have ice cream sammies and stooper dupers! A strooper duper is an ice cream sammie made with their housemade version of a stroopwaffel, housemade caramel, and sweet cream ice cream! It is absolutely delicious!! My favorite ice creams right now are Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee.

    Amazing orange cardamom ice cream
    Najwa G.

    Yes, Sweet Action is a bit pricey for ice cream but is heavenly and 100% worth it IMHO. I got one of their seasonal flavors of orange cardamom (and I believe something else I'm forgetting what it was) and it was amazing. None of their flavors were too overpowering and they meshed really well. In short, this ice cream is awesome.

    Vegan Madagascar Vanilla Bean
    Anna K.

    As someone who can't have dairy at the moment, I was really excited to see how many vegan options they had available. Some were sorbets but there was also a lot of other chocolate based flavours. The waffle cones are quite brittle and thin but I actually enjoyed that and thought it paired well with the ice cream. The one scoop is very generous and the staff was very pleasant/friendly. The space was big and in a cool area of town to explore afterwards.

    This place is so cute and the ice cream is yummy! I like how they stay open pretty late. The service was awesome, she allowed us to try as many flavors as we wanted until we chose what we liked. She also shared which were the best sellers, with an overall great attitude she seemed very happy to help which always makes experiences that much better. Salted butterscotch is a 10/10! Me and my friends loved our ice cream.

    Super cute spot with great service. All the flavors sound so cool !! I don't feel like I choose any basic flavors. Everything was amazing.

    My daughter had a craving for a nice milk shake. After having a dinner at an exquisite French restaurant only 5 minutes away, we came here for a little scoop of ice cream and an exquisite milk shake. And Sweet Action actioned to take care of us!! This place doesn't have a massive selection of ice cream to choose from. But they have interesting/intriguing flavors no other ice cream places have such as Stranahan's Whiskey Brickle, Strawberry Chamomile, Lavender Caramel to name a few. What's great is that each flavor is marked with V for vegan, GF for gluten free; I appreciate this conscientiousness to serve people with dietary restrictions. This place is so generous about giving out samples/tasters. My daughter asked a sample of three different flavors; the young lady behind the counter said, "No problem!!" They truly want you go have the flavor that suits your palate. My daughter picked Lavender Caramel and something else for her milk shake; I chose Colorado's proudest, Stranahan's Whiskey in a kiddy cup. They surely took care of our sweet tooth after our dinner; this ended up being an exquisite action to end our night!!

    After being back in denver for a couple years I finally made my way to Sweet Action on Broadway! And it just have been in the stars because right after we got there the line grew by 10 people. Must be why they limit tasters to two flavors, totally makes sense now. I tried Gansito and Cold Brew and they were out of this world. The flavors were outstanding yet not too sweet and it was oh so creamy. Love the garage door opening where you can sit at the counter and get some quality people watching. Add this one to your list!

    Blackberry Lavender and Orange Honeycomb.
    Annette M.

    My favorite ice cream spot in Denver. So many inventive flavors and old favorites. My go to's are always the STRANAHAN'S WHISKEY BRICKLE and Salted Butterscotch. Today I tried the Orange Honeycomb and it' was very delicious. A new favorite. Worth driving out of the way for a sweet treat.

I ended up getting quiche for myself, pepperoni pizza for my wife as well as a plain croissant, chocolate pistachio croissant and maple cinnamon bun. The quiche was just okay in my opinion but everything else was stand out. My wife loved the pizza and the homemade ranch is AMAZING. The chocolate pistachio croissant was tasty, very flakey.

I had it saved but couldn't quite remember why...until we turned the corner and saw a line out the door around noon on a Sunday. Normally that might be a dealbreaker, but once we saw the food coming out, we were all in, it looked way too good to pass up. The menu is stacked: everything from sweet pastries to savory sandwiches and even pizzas on what looked like fresh, fluffy focaccia. I went with the prosciutto sandwich (prosciutto, cheese, pesto on focaccia), and it was incredible--simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. My girlfriend had the ham sandwich on a baguette, which was just as good. We were also tempted by the turkey and some seasonal options, so we'll definitely be back to try more. We couldn't leave without grabbing a couple pastries. The almond croissant was a hit (my girlfriend saved it for the next morning and loved it), and the standout for me was the cinnamon white chocolate cookie--kind of like a snickerdoodle but with white chocolate chips. Easily a top tier cookie. Between the quality, variety, and how clearly everything is made with care, this place jumped straight to the top of my list. Worth the wait, worth the hype, and absolutely worth a return trip.

The beef curry wrapped in dough, crusted in panko crumbs, and deep-fried was excellent. The curry itself had real flavor and zest, and the surrounding crust was delicious too.
