    This pains me to write this. Truly, it does. Our family came here for a treat after our youngest had a school performance and bonus, we had a gift card to use! The associate was friendly and my kids got to sample before committing. My littles got birthday cake on sugar cones, while the grown-ups had a banana split (you get to choose 3 scoops). They have a variety of items on their menu (see video and pics). As we went to pay, we were told their tablet was stolen a month ago and could not use our gift card. Hmmm. Not wanting to cause a fuss and understanding how busy the shop was getting, I wanted to empathize the situation, however, businesses must honor gift cards. The associate tried her best to accommodate and offered a small discount and a punch card that is worth one scoop of ice cream, about $5. The gift card has $20 value, but they could not verify due to the circumstance of a stolen tablet. We paid with our credit card, left a tip and ate on their patio. The have about 6-8 bar top tables and bench seating. As we were chatting, I pulled out a hair that wasn't mine from my side of the sundae - insert sad face. Super bummed and again, hate to write this but this was the honest experience. We will have to strongly reconsider coming back as there are several other ice shops around town to visit. The parking is limited in the lot, but there is neighborhood or street parking close by. Just wasn't our night to go to Nuggs.

    Ice cream! Thats's it, this review is finished. Alright, time for me to go..... wait, you're still there? I thought you got the word. The review is finished. You're puzzled? I said "ice cream." That's all you need to hear. It's all you needed to know. Not satisfied? Okay, The ice cream is delicious. How's that? Service with a smile (it's the only way ice cream should ever be served). Summer is here so let's make this clear: ice cream! Plenty of parking. Enjoy your chilled treat here or get it to go. Friendly staff. Clean inside and out. The ice cream is cold. The price is right. Ice cream!

    An afterschool treat before it gets really, really cold here in Denver. They have all of the typical flavors but with a twist on the names as well as a few unique locals like Pablo's coffee flavor. A great eat-in spot with kitschy decor and great music. We tried a few flavors, and while tasty and well made, nothing really popped. I will come back and try more. The service was cordial

    Great local spot for ice cream. They had some great flavors, palisades peach, queen bee, dark chocolate cherry, double stuffed oreo and also served dole whip (strawberry and mango). Palisades peach had a nice peach flavor and queen bee (honeycomb) tasted like creamy honey. The texture of the ice cream was a little soft as it was a bit melted even when scooped but again the flavors were great. I wouldn't put it at the level as Jeni's or Graeter's but it is good and I will be back. The parking lot is very small and fills quickly but there is ample street parking around.

    My first visit to Nuggs certainly won't be my last, as it was such an enjoyable stop at the end of a very long day! There is plenty of parking in their adjacent lot and street parking on Colfax. They have both inside and outside seating. There is fun artwork all around the interior that brightens the place. They have a loyalty card, so when you buy single scoops or spend $50, you get one on them! Staffer Victoria was excellent, full of energy, and proving that she LOVES working at Nuggs with her favorite five flavors and a positive attitude. I selected the Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and it was incredible, a superb combination that I truly enjoyed. Their serving sizes in a cup were just the right size! I'm looking forward to my next stop at Nuggs!

    What a cute spot. Definitely great for a little date or family fun time. It looks bigger than it is, so if the inside is all taken, the patio out front can seat a lot more people. The menu is a bit confusing, but it's unique and fun the way they've set it up. Unfortunately, they were out of the flavor that I wanted so I had to choose something else. Chocolate Cookies N Cream. So creamy and made with big chunks of oreo, which I appreciate. And the waffle cone was possibly the tastiest I've ever had.

    Can't say I'm super blown away by the ice cream flavors when I tried them. They have a cute play on the ice cream names like Brotherfinger, Amazing Joy and that sort -- so I'll give them that. I got a scoop of Cookie Dough which IMO is good since they are generous with the chunks of dough. They have their own private parking lot but it can get full pretty quickly depending on the time of day. You can just park in the residential areas as an alternative.

As a tourist myself, I had to try it for myself. At first, I noticed that there was a growing line of people in front of the big silver Little Man Ice Cream tin located in the middle of the area. But found that the express line had all the flavors that I was intrigued by. So, I gladly skipped the long line to join the very quick express line to quickly get the flavors that I wanted. I personally decided to try a small cup with 2 flavors. SALTY O's Just like it says, Salty O's is salty. I expected a slightly less salty flavor like flavors such as salted caramel do, but it was almost a bit too much salt content inside an otherwise very sweet flavor. I almost regretted getting this flavor because with each bite, the salt was getting a bit overpowering. BANANA PUDDING This was probably my preferred flavor of the two. It didn't necessarily have a strong banana flavor punching through, but it was the right amount of sweetness that I wanted in an ice cream flavor.

This tiny, adorable hole-in-the-wall shop is everything you want in a neighborhood ice cream spot -- warm, welcoming, unpretentious, and run by two of the most genuinely lovely women I've ever encountered in the food service industry. From the moment our group of six walked in, we felt like we'd been coming here for years. They were patient, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about every single thing they make. Now let me talk about the ICE CREAM, because wow. Six people, multiple flavors between us, and not one single complaint -- which if you know my family, is basically a miracle. Everything was rich, creamy, and tasted completely homemade in the best possible way. But the thing that absolutely sent me over the edge? BANANA PUDDING. Multiple banana pudding options. I grew up in the South and I have been low-key grieving the lack of banana pudding culture everywhere else I've lived, and here it is -- in Denver, Colorado -- done absolutely right. I may have embarrassed myself slightly. No regrets. This is a Black woman-owned business and these two have built something truly special. It's family-friendly, it's joyful, and it has that rare quality of feeling like a place that was made with real love. If you're anywhere near the museum, you would be genuinely doing yourself a disservice to walk past this place. Go in. Get the banana pudding. Thank me later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
