Denver’s Most Beloved Ice Cream Shop Is Expanding And We Couldn’t Be Happier
The iconic 28 foot-tall cream can found in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver and often has a long line trailing from it as people flock to get a scoop of the hand-made ice cream from Little Man. Well, that line might be getting a little bit shorter as the company grows with a new production facility/tasting room and a few sister locations in the works.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Employees of Little Man wear vintage uniforms as they offer scoops of ice cream made with the finest, local ingredients. They also feature fountain sodas, floats, malts, shakes, and more. During the winter months, they even cook up batches of soup made from scratch daily. This Denver landmark can be found at 2620 16th St. in Denver, CO 80211.
Due to their popularity, Little Man is opening a brand new ice cream production facility to meet the current production needs as well as the future company growth.
In the middle of 2018, they hope to open their doors to the public to visit and see the ice cream production process first hand. As a nod to Colorado's love for brewery tours and tasting rooms, this "Microbatch Creamery" will follow suit with factory tours and ice cream flights when it opens. This facility can be found a block from Sloan's lake at the corner of Colfax and Tennyson.
Sweet Cooie's can be found at 3506 E. 12th Ave. in Denver, CO 80206.
You'll want to try the "Gooey Cooie" which is comprised of two rings of glazed brioche separated by a hearty slab of ice cream.
This 354 square foot walk-up kiosk and patio will pay homage to the distinct history of the Stapleton area with a prominately featured 75-foot replica airplane wing hanging overhead. Constellation is aptly named after the Lockhead Constellation, a mid-20th century passenger plane.
Also in the works is a Fort Collins location named “Churn” that will find its home in a massive replica of an ice cream churn.
