Date of visit: February 28, 2026 Needing something to wash down the Auntie Anne's pepperoni pretzel bites I scarfed down like it was my first meal since escaping a white panel van, I spied Little Man Ice Cream and was pleased to see they offered milkshakes. Shakes are my jam as it's ice cream that doesn't need a spoon and there's no judging from your family because you didn't put it in the microwave. The lone worker was very engrossed in her phone and didn't see me come up, peruse the menu, set down my heavy duffel bag, and place the aforementioned Auntie Anne's cup down loudly on the counter. The only thing that allowed her to break free from the algorithm was another potential patron perusing the cold drinks at the counter. Then and only then did she look up to see me and offer some assistance. She was relatively pleasant in her one word utterances and my shake was made rather quickly. There was some confusion on her part when I asked for the Salted Caramel Peanut Butter flavor, seemed like I knew the flavor name better than she did. Worried about my flight and having been a patron of counter service establishments over the last five years I took the liberty of tilting the Toast tablet in my direction, adding a tip, and printing my receipt while she mixed and shaked my delectable dessert. This too confused her greatly--I should have tipped her more as her confusion tickled me a bit! But in the end, service shortcomings be damned, it was an excellent shake! read more

I feel like airport ice cream is a rarity. I can't think of a time when I've been able to get a scoop while waiting for a flight. I walked across Terminal C to find this little kiosk. They had one person scooping and managing everything and she did a great job, especially with more complicated orders like milkshakes! They carry the majority of the flavors you'd expect to see at Little Man. Considering I'd just gone to one the day before in Cherry Creek, I'd know! Glad to get to try a flavor I didn't get to try the night before. I got a nice hefty scoop at a premium. The price was slightly more than you'd expect to find at the ice cream shop but that's to be expected in an airport! read more

Silent Cream DIA location of a local Denver operation that has ten locations, as well a wholesale and catering operations. The Good: *Service was friendly *Ice cream was good but nothing mind blowingly good. The Meh: *Pricing was typical (i.e., rip-off) airport pricing *They're known for their ice cream cookie sandwiches, so I went to try and order one but they were out of cookies?! Tbf, the young lady did offer to go get some but she said it'll take at least twenty minutes and I didn't feel like waiting or to be a bother. The Ugly: *I opted for the waffle cone bowl and hold-fucking-shit was it bad. Like it was made six months ago bad. Hard as a rock and almost no flavor. I took a few nibbles and just let it be. Conclusion: Decent ice cream but avoid the waffle cones read more

Little man Ice Cream - Rip Off. So I order a cup of ice cream - the souless, skittle haired nose ring protocommunist behind the counter could not even be bothered to look at me, speak, or even attempt to alter her sullen expression, and charges me for two cups of ice cream. When I object to being over charged her nearly lifeless voice utters, still without looking at me, "The charge already went through". I object again at the overcharge so she shrugs, turns her back and walks away. Must be nice to have a business where once you have someone's credit card you can charge whatever you want and know that the customer has no time between flights to pursue a remedy. Stay away. read more

Delicious!! The woman working was so nice and let us try a few flavors. The three we tried are the 3 we got. The salty O is interesting, I think it was literally salty Oreo flavored. It was different but still so yummy. We also had the espresso fudge and strawberry. Strawberry is not one I typically pick but I think it was the best! Would 1000% come back next time I'm at the Denver airport. read more

FYI, they don't have the "Twilight Zone" shake anymore despite what the official Denver Airport description says and what other news outlets say too. Sucks cuz I would have loved a conspiracy theory themed dessert. Seems like they haven't served alcohol here as they used to in the past either, so it's a completely sober ice cream place! Also it does close at 8 PM, so if you're here on a late flight, that is unfortunate. They do have seasonal flavors, you can make a sundae, or a mixed shake. there are cups, different cones, and also some grab and go snacks, and they can make small wraps and sandwiches here too I believe. I got their seasonal pumpkin chocolate small cup (which was actually quite a hefty scoop). The chocolate was a bit darker so it added a slight sweet bitterness to the pumpkin spice. Very creamy and didn't melt super fast. Good stuff all around. read more

What a serendipitous moment it was when I saw this kiosk! While I was in Denver for just over two weeks, I hadn't made it to a Little Man Ice Cream shop on this trip. I was quite happy to see this setup and knew I had to get a scoop! It's located right by Gate C27, which was super handy since that was my scheduled gate to depart from Denver! I was flying out on Southwest Airlines. Since this is a little shop in the middle of the corridor and sandwiched between other businesses. Since the footprint is small, you mainly just get your goodies and eat them elsewhere. There are a few photos that are posted here incorrectly. There is no patio in the concourse, so unless you are walking out to the hotel/train station area, you will be inside the terminal. The other picture with the huge Little Man Milk Can was taken at the original Lower Highland location. There are 16 flavors to choose from. I got the Raspberry Love which is raspberry ice cream with White & reg. Chocolate Chips. The small size of one scoop was $5.69. The ice cream was enjoyed while waiting for my flight. It was alright, I probably should have gotten a different flavor. I preferred the ice cream I had at their original location during a previous visit. Besides ice cream, you can get coffee & tea, affogato, milkshake, soda, & baked goods. Or, you may want savory offerings like an Italian Chopped Salad, Italian Sandwich or Turkey Wrap. Next time I fly out I will stop by and have another scoop! It's a good, inexpensive sweet treat! read more

Such unique and inspired flavors! I got a root beer float with a scoop of chai flavored ice cream - great combo, added a deeper spice to the root beer. Fast and friendly staff. We rolled through with a group of maybe 12 people and we all had our snacks within a couple mins. It's right next to the river park too, great location. I'm glad we stopped. read more

I would love to tell you about how it taste - never saw an employee! Waited thirty minutes. There's little to nothing in cases and tubs on counter. Do better. read more

When your flight is delayed but it's next to the Little Man stand, it's a nice little treat to have after receiving news about your delayed flight. My go to from little man has always been the salted Oreo and every time I've made a stop, they've had it as an option. It's truly just a nice creamy ice cream with a good balance between salt and sweet. If you like Oreos or cookies and cream ice cream, try the salted Oreo. It's very subtle saltiness. It's located in gate c with the southwest flights next to the food court but not at the newly remodeled section of the airport with the fancy bathrooms. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. There was no one at the counter for almost 30min. Several customers left after waiting a while - we all have flights to catch!! Everyone agreed the ice cream was great, but service at this location was hit or miss. My gate was boarding by the time the server came back and I quickly got my scope, tapped my card, and ran to my gate. I was charged over 20% tip without my consent! I was definitely not planning to leave a tip for the horrible service. Please replace the service because the ice cream was actually pretty good. read more

I was bummed last night that I wasn't able to get ice cream due to the long line at the Downtown location. So while killing time before our flight we walked the terminal and come to find a Little Man Ice Cream kiosk at the airport! There are not many areas to sit and enjoy your ice cream, so the concept is more grab and go. The gal working the counter was super friendly. She provided samples for all of my requests. After a few options I settled for Buttermilk Cupcake. This was so yummy. Inside you find chunks of vanilla and chocolate cupcake and then the sweet cream ice cream base pairs perfectly. The ice cream served at Little Man is creamy, rich with flavor and has a decent amount of mixtures with in. I would highly recommend Little Man Ice Cream. read more

Bree is always great, excellent customer service and she makes the best ice cream sandwiches!

The best ice cream in Denver! Great service and easy to get to in the terminal. Try the space junkie it's the best!

was the greatest ice cream ever i asked for a cone and i got a massive waffle with a very large amount of ice cream so yeah u should def come here while sitting at the airport for hours read more

Great little ice cream stand in the airport. My wife got a cookie dough ice cream and I got the espresso fudge. Both were delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of seating near by. read more

This review is for the Little Man Ice Cream stand at the Denver airport. The ice cream is delicious! But the service is extremely not good. The young man who was working during the time when my party came by was extremely cold and unfriendly. He had no patience for any of the customers! The young man did not want to answer any questions or talk to customers. He seemed annoyed when customers asked about the different flavors or ask for a taste. He was slamming the ice cream counter doors. There were a few people waiting to order their ice cream when he slammed the counter doors shut. Took off his apron, did not say a word & just left the ice cream stand. Very unpleasant experience at the Little Man Ice Cream counter at the Denver airport. read more

Salted Oreo was really good. Very smooth, creamy, and flavorful. The little Oreo chunks were sweeter than the ones you find in a package but in a good way. I took off one star because the guy kind of had a stinkeye like he didn't want to be there and was annoyed when customers walked up. Bro, you work at an airport, you're going to get a lot of customers especially for a popular ice cream place. read more

When I tried the original location of Little Man, the line was quite prohibitive and I had a flight to make. It is fortuitous, then, that unlike the overpriced mass-market junk that permeates most airports, there was a bit of local flavor here in C terminal. Don't get me wrong, it still had that airport premium, the selection was limited, and the experience likely not as good as the original, but I was satisfied with being able to sample this place as it was. The cookie dough and cupcake infused flavors I got were delivered in a rich, fresh-tasting cream. They say they donate a meal of rice and beans to someone in need for each ice cream you buy, which is hopefully still true of the airport location. read more

Was excited this place was right by our gate, and that it stayed open later than other merchants (bonus b/c our flight was delayed almost 2 hours). Service was friendly, and the ice cream delicious. Got the milkshake -- 3 scoops of whatever you want -- which was perfect! Highly recommend. read more

They got some unique flavors! I was here for a layover and an ice cream was definitely comforting after long flight delays. My bf and I shared a medium so we got to choose 2 scoops - Space Junkie & one of the seasonal surprise. I really loved the creaminess of both flavors. It was pricey for the portion size, but I guess it's the airport tax for ya. I'd want to visit the actual store next time when I'm actually in the city (as opposed to just the airport). read more

We were traveling and had two layovers at the Denver International Airport. Ice cream was on my agenda both times! We tried the chocolate and blackberry honey goat cheese flavors. The ice cream was smooth, creamy, and rich. If you like a mix of fruity and dairy flavors, try the blackberry honey goat cheese. The employees also let us sample some flavors. We were informed the salted oreo is one of their more popular flavors, but it wasn't to our liking. I found the salted oreo to be too salty. read more

I had wanted to go here during my visit and missed it. I was so happy to see this miniature store in the airport. It was very limited in flavors but man are they good! The ice cream I got was a chocolate ice cream and I got the waffle cone dipped in chocolate with nuts! It was beyond delicious! You must get one if you ever get the chance. The ice cream is fresh and so are the cones! read more

I had the Afogato it was delicious. The staff were nice and the place looked clean. The service was outstanding.

Famous Denver ice cream available in terminal C. They had about 10 flavors available and prices were reasonable for an airport ($7.99 for a large 3 scoop). The best part was, no line! Creamy ice cream with fun and standard flavors. read more

Little Man ice cream is pretty good! Albeit maybe not as hyped up as people make it out to be. I LOVE ice cream and always go out of my way to go to each city's best ice cream joints whenever I'm traveling. I made my sister go to the actual Little Man with me (separate review on their main page). I was glad to see they had a location in our terminal at Denver's airport as well. I actually didn't plan to get ice cream but after our flight kept getting delayed and delayed, I just went for it. I ended up getting the chocolate with salted Oreo. It was really good and hit the spot for a weary airport traveler. Honestly I'm grateful to have any type of premium ice cream offering in the airport to help during stressful times! Although it was good, Little Man isn't the best ice cream I've ever had. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to get this ice cream again and for that, they just can't stack up to some of the places I've rated as 5 stars. Also, the salted Oreo at the airport was good, but it seems the "saltiness" is inconsistent and some batches are saltier than others. Given it's their main flavor, they need to get that under control! read more

One of Denver's most highly rated ice cream spots! Go try them to see why! Little Man is a Denver staple. If you're looking for a must try in the area then this is the spot. They are constantly rotating new flavors, making fresh waffle cones, and if it's summer, have a line stretching around the block. I keep going back to Little Man for their Salted Oreo, it's a cookie and cream with just the right pinch of salt to make it salty and savory. They also offer Milkshakes and Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches which are both equally fantastic. Wait at your own risk if there's a long line, it can take awhile but it's worth it if you've never been! If there's no line then don't pass them up! read more

Always wanted to try Little Man ice cream and when I saw the kiosk by our gate I wanted some but I didn't want to pay airport prices. He insisted on getting me some so I got a small cup and the server mixed up regular chocolate with the rocky road chocolate flavor. Smooth and delicious. I really liked the texture and the rich flavor of the ice cream. It was a nice sweet treat before the flight. The servers were friendly too. read more

Best ice cream ever! Never tried the airport location but it was a great pick me up for a long wait.

I first tried Little Man while attending a conference and they offered attendees a couple flavor choices. I had the Salted OREO and it was love at first lick! The server told me that was what they were known for and I can see why. The ice cream was loaded with OREO chunks, but the saltiness was what brought it over-the-top! Wow! Then I realized that they had a stand at the airport so I needed to get one last scoop before I left. Wow! I'm still screaming for this ice cream! SALTED OREO! read more
