What a great place to visit to celebrate our last day in Denver! We visited on a Wednesday around 4:30p. After a little driving around, we managed to get a great parking spot and there were only a few people ahead of us in line! Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so we ate our ice cream in the car instead of being able to enjoy all the outdoor seating they have. I sampled just about every flavor they had before I made my choice - a scoop of Salted Maple Pecan and a scoop of Snickers! I was happy to see that their version of Snickers wasnt plain vanilla ice cream with specks of Snickers mixed in (as Ive seen at many other places). They start with a chocolate ice cream base and mix in gobs of delicious caramel sauce as well as peanuts and chunks of nougat. My husband ordered a chocolate coconut cone with one scoop of Salted Oreo and one of Coffee. I cant say I was a huge fan of the former, which was disappointing because it was definitely their most interesting flavor. But I felt like I tasted more of the salt than I did the Oreo. However, that Coffee was nice! Its definitely heavy on the coffee flavor and not terribly sweet. I probably would have loved a scoop of it to go with my Snickers. Overall, a really great place!

Bueno empezando no puedes ariesga con sabores diferentes que se salgan de la paleta de lo tradicional. El helado de oreo salado no es que tenga un toque de salado si no que parece que estás lamiendo el agua del mar, a cada lenguetazo que metes. El de butterscotch insípido y sin sabor. El de banana putin no estaba nada mal. Pero lo qué de verdad estaba bueno son los gofres que pides con el helado, son caseros. Suerte con vuestra selección.

I love this place. I want to live next door. Life goals. [: Pro tips: 1) Get the little dip, in a cone. If youre lucky, theyll let you pick as many flavors as they can fit on it. And its something like $1.38?!? Its the best deal ever. And totes adorbs. Even if you want more ice cream, Id almost say to just get a little dip on top of it. Just cuz. 2) Go when its cold/snowing out and/or on holidays like Christmas/NYE because the line will only be like 5 min long (instead of an hour). 3) Beware of the ice cream sandwiches, for they are not for the faint of heart. Those things are massive! I once got one with the salted oreo ice cream, and it was good at first, but got to be too much. I definitely felt nauseous afterward. Soo I guess despite my love for ice cream, you can indeed overdo it. Refer to pro tip #1. ;)

Im going to go against the grain here in disliking this place. It is a cool structure with friendly service that was beautifully decorated for the holidays but i came in with high expectations. The oreo sandwich had only a slight likeness in its appearance. The middle could and should have been cookies and cream, and the outer part wasnt oreo-like at all. Gf didnt finish it and gave half to me.. It ended up in the bin after i tried it. My apple pie ice cream, a fave back home, had an overpowering sour taste that was off-putting for ice cream. My expectations were just too high i guess. Come to toronto for gregs or some eds real scoop before giving this place a five. More flash than substance in my opinion. Sorry.

Yummy, affordable dips served with a smile! Also, a side of live, local music! I loved the setup of the outdoor shop, with seating (coverage for rain) and a bathroom. Read about this Denver "must" in CultureTrip and it was definitely worth the track from downtown. There was a line, so I decided to go to the express cart. Its the same creamery, but only serves the basic flavors. Im not basic, I just hate waiting in lines!!! Salted Oreo was too salty but loved the vanilla. There are lots of restaurants around, so stop here for an appetizer or dessert ;) and the lovely park is nearby to walk off your calories. Enjoy.

I queued every evening (for 3 nights) for an average of 45 mins and it was time well spent. Here is the tip- there is an express counter, hit it. It takes less time. The main queue after 6pm may take an hour plus. Go on Fridays and weekends for their amazing events- dance and music sessions!. Great vibe, great view, open air, cosy local feeling. Be careful if you are GF. Stick to the seasonal sorbets. I suggest take the smallest cup(tiny tasters) and dont be greedy as the serving sizes are huge. This way so you can at least taste six flavours (you earned it if you queued for 45mins+ )

One of the best ice cream place in Denver area! I love going to Little Man every once in a while because my gym is right next door to the Little Man!! Whenever I go there, I always get the salted oreo. One of the best ice cream flavor. Hands down! Now that its summer season the line gets pretty crazy at night time. The line starts all the way from Linger, but dont worry the line moves pretty fast. They also have express lane order. The flavors at express lane have 6 different flavors until they run out and once the flavor runs out theyll add a new one. They change their flavors daily.

This is by far the best ice cream I have ever had. I should know...because Im on the pudgy side. But enough about me, this place is absolutely amazing. I know that some wont believe me, and thats fine, but you should really try this place out. You can taste the hand made flavor in every bite (or lick). I had a double scoop with the creamsicle (my new favorite) and the horchata. Weird combination, but it was great. Creamy and sweet, everything you want in ice cream. I will say depending on what time you hit this place, there might be a crazy line, but mid-afternoon, we had no trouble.

As someone who believes dessert should be served after every meal, Ive had my fair share of delicious frozen treats. Having gone vegan about 4 months ago, Ive discovered a whole new world (cue Aladdin music) of desserts. Their vegan salted Oreo flavor is on my list of favorite ice creams of my life, and is BY FAR THE BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM Ive had in Denver or anywhere else. Im actually going to have to go there now after writing this. Keep it up Little Man, and dont be afraid to put out all the vegan flavors [key lime pie, caramel, and a chocolate lovers would be appreciated ;)]

Gave it 5 stars more for the overall experience than just the quality of ice cream. Their ice cream is great and they do a great job adding new flavor combinations. Quality is excellent. But what makes this place a stop whenever Im in the area is the experience. Located in Highlands neighborhood, great views of Downtown Denver at anytime of the day/evening. The ice-cream shop is nicely lit, great seating area and ambience, music (sometimes), and overall great vibe. Only issue is long lines. Sometimes its a good thing because you end up "hanging out" if with friends.

This is a must if you are visiting Denver. Great yum-yum and super friendly staff, always smiling even though they are scooping like slaves. The area is perfect during good weather to chill, sometimes there is band in the evenings. If on your bike and coming north, you will have to push through the hardest highland hill ever to get to it, but then you can award yourself with a guilt-free treat. This spot make me feel like I am in pleasantville. Everyone is happy with their ice cream and the dogs tails are wagging. I recommend the flavors French Toast and the Munchies.
