The flavors were varied and fun and I felt the portions-price ratio was comparable to every tourist town/village I have ever been to. The Service was adequate. The staff greeted you and waited for your order. Is an ice cream and candy shop in a heavy foot traffic tourist village not a 5 star Michelin Star dining experience. The manager was even kind enough to spend a few moments searching back stock to see if they had the Breakfast teas my wife favors after dinner. They carry a lot of regional products and I do recommend stopping in.

About average in size for an Estes Park spot, but the atmosphere makes it feel welcoming and lively. Bonus points: they handed out a sticker of their logo, and it's a high‑quality sticker it was a nice touch. Overall, a great stop for anyone craving really good ice cream and great service from friend staff in Estes Park.

This place's smoothie's tasted eerily similar; which is an amazing thing. We didn't partake in the food because frankly, I had no idea what it all was as it is Mexican food. But we definitely had a few smoothies over the four days that we were in EP. They were super friendly and really fast when making our smoothies. When we come back to EP, we will definitely be going back. We have been craving a smoothie from this place nearly every day since.

It was decent, but not great - I felt I could've received similar soft serve from a fast food restaurant. Overall, a confusing visit. Not sure I would visit again, for ice cream anyways.

Excellent Food and Service in a Very Busy Estes Park Favorite…read more Executive Summary: A fantastic dinner with fresh, well-executed dishes, strong cocktails, and outstanding service. Easily a 5-star experience and highly recommended. We booked a 6:00 p.m. Sunday reservation through Resy and were seated immediately. The restaurant was very busy, which felt like a good sign. One thing to note: parking is VERY difficult. You may need to park kitty-corner at the grocery store lot and walk across. We started with the Beets & Bibb salad, which was outstanding--fresh, thinly sliced crunchy beets, crisp dried chickpeas for texture, grapes for sweetness, and a honey vinaigrette with just enough acidity to balance everything. The cornbread arrived warm and freshly baked with black garlic butter. It was light rather than dense and very enjoyable. For an entrée, the Carnivore was excellent. Both the elk and petite filet had a beautiful sear and were cooked perfectly to temperature, accompanied by a flavorful reduction and seared broccolini. Our second entrée was the trout with a side petite filet. The fish was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. By the end of dinner we were far too full to try the desserts, although they looked tempting. We also had a couple of cocktails--strong, flavorful pours. Our server, Ian, was friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the evening. Excellent service despite how busy the restaurant was. Overall, Bird & Jim delivered great food, great drinks, and great service. Highly recommended--5 stars.

Aside from their Caramel Crisp, they have delightful Caramel dipped Apples that are covered in different colored sprinkles and peanuts or simply plain. I think it's also helpful to say that they offer sugar free option candy and salt water taffy. Their bulk candy is weighed and sold between $2.00 and $5.00 depending on the weight. Overall, a really cool candy shop.
