    Left: velvety choco peanut butter. Right: cookie nomster
    Rachel S.

    My husband and I try a new ice cream shop every month. This ranked in the top 3 for 2025. The owner Troy was working because the weather was too bad for the regular incredible employees to come in and he explained the whole concept. The mission of employing adults with special needs and delivering delicious ice cream!! The ice cream truly was delicious and all homemade. The velvety choco pb was insane - so smooth, almost like mousse. They have a trademarked "Dr. Pepper Chip" that's nostalgic to the childhood soda pop. Dr. Pepper licensed it to them for free to support their mission! Other notable faves: HOT Mexican hot chocolate, cinnamon roll. The gluten eating husband raved about the cookie nomster. The shop is so cute, vibrant, boosts the hard work of the employees and is such a welcoming environment. We will be back for sure.

    Really awesome local spot for some delicious ice cream made from scratch! I like to explore new ice cream spots for date night and this one is definitely delicious and one we will revisit! A quaint atmosphere with colorful chairs and really lovely staff that help you choose your ice cream. I had the cinnamon roll flavor which is something I haven't had before and I LOVED it! My husband had the chocolate ice cream. One interesting flavor on the menu is Dr.Pepper Chocolate Chip.

    I found this place in the Aurora, Co magazine I found at my hotel. We arrived and were greeted shortly after. The staff were so friendly. We sampled various flavors of ice cream before purchasing. They have some really cool and unique flavors! If you wonder what it would taste like, just ask them. The ice cream is homemade and everyone except the owner and one employee have disabilities (the mag said intellectual and developmental, but the person I spoke with said developmental, I believe). Either way, they are giving people a chance to build marketable skills they may not get otherwise. The store has a fun feel and vibe to it. It's colorful and has plenty of space to sit inside or out. This is a must visit ice cream shop. It's worth the trip!

    Dr Pepper with chocolate chip! ... and yes, it tasted exactly like Dr Pepper!

    What a great vibe for a local ice cream shop! Down to earth and super happy vibes. Everyone behind the counter is welcoming and cheerful. I dig this place. The flavors are even top notch too. I got a Dr Pepper with chocolate chip ice cream. Whatever they did filled my Dr Pepper quota for the day! Generous scoops and good times!

    Sometimes you just got to treat yourself and getting ice cream at Howdy Homemade ice cream is the way to do it! I got their chocolate banana flavor. It was delicious! My husband got their mint flavored ice cream in the mint waffle cone. I had a taste and it was very good. It was neat that they had waffle cones in multiple flavors! That may have been the only time that I have seen that before! Everyone left feeling happy after our treat at Howdy Homemade Ice cream. Make sure to get one of their punch cards! Every visit you get a punch and when you visit 10 times you get to spin their wheel to win something! What a great incentive to keep people coming back! Also there is a check in reward with yelp for a free waffle cone!

    Calling all Parker and Aurora peeps! Howdy Homemade Ice Cream is awesome - a must try! Here's why: 1. They hire people with disabilities - love this! 2. All ice cream is made in house 3. They make 4 flavors of waffle cones and cups - mocha, cinnamon, mint and strawberry (we had cinnamon) 4. Small, local business which I love to support So go and try today!

    Candy Cane ice cream with cinnamon cone bits
    Tina H.

    This place is awesome. Gives opportunities and awareness to people with disabilities. Gives profits to organizations that support them. Service is friendly, and so helpful. Always a smiling face greeting you here. Unique flavors without being too over the top like a lot of the trendy ice cream shops lean into. On this visit, our group had: - strawberry milkshake - Mexican chocolate - candy cane - cold brew cookie (I can't remember the actual name, sorry!) We all had a scoop of each, which was plenty serving size wise! And my son asked for a cone on the side, which he proceeded to break then use to scoop his bites with. They have different cone flavors, but we got the cinnamon, which tasted kind of like eating a churro with your ice cream. Everything we tried was creamy and delicious! Will definitely be back again! Recommended!

    First ice cream is great! Get on over to Howdy and try this place. Ambiance is fun, clean, and service is friendly. What really sets this place apart is its mission. I took a picture of it to share on Yelp. I love seeing companies focus on hiring, training, and supporting our communities just like Howdy. What a special place to be able to have great ice cream and support those with special needs.

    First off, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They're all super nice and take the time to get to learn their mission because it's meaningful and just a reminder to spread kindness. The store is very bright and colorful. Love all of the vibes here. The moment you enter, it's just a feel good store. The ice cream is delicious. I ordered the peppermint cream and strawberry milkshake and both were super creamy and smooth. I usually skip on waffle cones but the waffle bowl that we ordered was worth it. It's made as you order so it arrives warm. This will be the only waffle cone I order.

    Brianna T.

    Not only does this place have a wonderful mission, they have wonderful ice cream! Their mission is to help people with disabilities have work. We spoke to I believe the manager, and he was really sweet and friendly. The waffle cones are made to order, so they taste amazing. You have the option of a bowl or a cone. Tell them while you're sampling flavors that you want the waffle cone! I sampled the peppermint and the cold brew & cookies and I loved it. It was so good, homemade, and not too sweet and super flavorful!!

    Great ice cream shop. We love the thoughtfulness behind the shop and the ice cream was great! My nephew got the strawberry milkshake and I got the chocolate as all get out. We both really enjoyed our ice cream. The service was friendly and pretty quick. The ambiance was cheerful and bright and very clean. They have an indoor and outdoor space which we also appreciated! Would come back again!

    Awesome mission statement!!

    Nice little ice cream shop tucked in the corner of the plaza. We checked it out after dinner at tasty pot. The folks there were super friendly and definitely loved their mission. Check them out and support them. On the plus, the ice cream was creamy and tasty as well. The decor was cool too. Definitely recommend and would return.

We are always greeted right away by the friendly fast and our order always comes out in a timely manner despite being busy sometimes!

For drinks we ordered large beverages both a little under $10 after tax: 5/5 Large Strawberry Matcha Latte 5/5 Large Strabwerry Latte with Brown Sugar Boba topping We are fan of their strabwerry drinks as it is a very good and strong flavor of strabwerry they have and the matcha or milk base always compliments the drink. The matcha is also frothy and both drinks are top with a bit strabwrrry pieces at the top and the matcha powder on top of the drink! So refreshing! 5/5 Half Dozen Creme Brulees Cream Bun We are OBESSESED with their cream buns, we havent tried the other flavors but the creme brulee flavor is always our go to. DELICIOUS bun served with a generous amount of cream on too, The cream really compliments the bread. This is a MUST try if you havent already! With summer just starting, expect us to be back at mocha a couple times to grab refreshing iced cold drinks and delicious cream buns!!!

When we got outside, the parking lot was packed and we could see plenty of people and a food truck, there was definitely an event going on We learned it was an event for a K-pop band with vendors and food Set up there to bring people in. There was a pretty good line since it was so packed, we used the online ordering kiosk and got one of their "snows" - snow bowls. Although the most popular are the strawberry and mango, I decided to try the black sesame as it is my personal fave. We also got it with an extra side of condensed milk, which really made a difference and amped up the texture and flavor. It was pretty good, it came with a mochi and frozen red bean paste, almonds, and plenty of shaved ice. It was a giant bowl, too much for two people even, and we took the rest of it home. Surprisingly, it was even better later on when the snow had turned into more of a gelato texture. At nearly $20 for the bowl it's no steal, but it was a nice treat, and I'm happy to say that I've tried it.
