i live a few blocks from sweet action and will never turn down an ice cream run. the staff is truly the highlight. every time we come here we are met with the kindest energy on earth. they have interesting flavors. nothing bad. some of the flavors don't have enough toppings mixed in. i really really love the marshmallow cloud option. they put marshmallow fluff on top and then torch it so you have a crispy marshmallow layer on top of your ice cream. definitely get the cloud. not a ton of seating inside and a few tables outside. they do have a speakeasy inside which I've yet to checkout. the shop gets busy and depending on who is working, can get extremely backed up. be prepared to wait for a bit but it's worth it. i normally will opt for something sweet like butterscotch, butter pecan, any of the coffee flavors, milks & cookies, etc. i also really enjoy their sorbets! the mango and fruit punch half and half is excellent. definitely on the pricier side for ice cream. serving sizes are smaller and add up quick if you get any toppings. all in all, happy to have this in the neighborhood. will come back for cloud. read more

Sweet action is always a good choice. The ice cream flavors online are generally always in stock in the store EXCEPT for the fudge options. The marshmallow fluff option is a topper that gets roasted onto your ice cream. The gooey texture on the bottom layer plus the semi-crunchy hardened top layer are hard to pass up, considering your ice cream doesn't get warm/melt. The shops ALWAYS clean, the music is low enough to not be a distraction, and the employees are nice. Service isn't very fast though, so don't come in a hurry. read more

Sweet Action - Vegan Milk & Cookies + Rice Krispie Treat with a marshmallow top - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Loved this place! Came for the speakeasy in the back, but ended up being so intrigued by the flavors that on the way out, I grabbed a scoop. The girl working was so sweet, she let me sample the peppermint bark, and the butterscotch coffee, both of them were absolutely delicious, such intense flavor profiles with a crunchy element to really set it off. They were even able to split a single scoop into two flavors, at no extra cost, which was perfect for me to get both of these. The prices are normal, about seven dollars for the scoop. Loved this place, it's so unassuming. There are no tables to sit down, however so it's kind of a grab and go situation, or you could just walk through the freezer into the bar in the back haha. read more

Had some sweet action after dinner and there was lots to choose from. This is the first establishment that I notice has gluten free cones, I am not gluten free, but thought it was a very nice touch. I had a delicious waffle cone with one scoop of cold brew ice cream and it was delicious and refreshing. The service was excellent. The lady taking care of the establishment was all alone and had many customers. She kept it cool and took her time with each one of us. Kudos for a great job! read more

Love that this ice cream shop is open late because of the speakeasy located inside! Conveniently located in uptown, make sure you visit retrograde (the speakeasy) before or after. They also have pints to take home! read more

Love Sweet Action! Always lived in this area and have been coming here since it was Frozen Matter. The speakeasy in the back, Retrograde, is a cute plus. Plenty of street parking around. I love all the dairy-free options they have and the alcohol infused flavors! The only thing that I'm mad at is that they have not brought back the vegan banana flavor! With this, their rotating flavors give a good chance to try unique flavors each time I stop by! read more

Sweet Action - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Denver, Colorado

While on vacation, if I want ice cream, then I want ice cream whenever I want it. I found Sweet Action, an ice cream shop a few blocks away from a restaurant that I ate at. While most, if not all, places ask for tips these days, this one doesn't, so keep that in mind before visiting. Upon walking inside, I immediately knew that I wanted an ice cream sundae, but also realized at the same time that they had a sign up that said that they were out of hot fudge. Despite this, they were happy enough to substitute it for chocolate sauce, which, according to one of the employees, had a similar taste to chocolate pudding. That was good enough for me, though. I ordered their brownie point sundae ($15 plus tax), which included chocolate ice cream, two brownies (one hot and one cold), chocolate sauce, and whipped cream on top. It was really good and I was able to finish the entire thing, but it was not really worth its' value, with it coming in a medium cup. I would come back again but choose something that matches its' value. There is no seating inside, but they have one picnic table that is accessible through a back door, if you're lucky enough to get it. Otherwise there's a bench on the sidewalk a few feet away. This is worth checking out if you live in the neighborhood or just visiting. Very good sundaes! read more

Really fantastic and unique flavor options for ice cream and late night sweet treats. They are so gracious and let you sample your options so you can get exactly what you want. They even have waffle cone pieces for dog treats. No seating so this is an order and go place. read more

So good blueberry lemon is the goat. Staff are really friendly and it's open late. Prices are better than what you get around town

My friends and I actually came to this spot, because inside the store behind doors is a speakeasy, but after we were done, we decided to get a sweet treat. I got the lemonade flavored sorbet and thought it really hit the spot! It was so refreshing and sorbet is always my favorite because it isn't creamy and doesn't get heavy. If you're looking for a treat after the speakeasy, I would recommend getting a scoop! read more

Top 3 ice cream places in Denver for us. Y'all, I don't like banana flavored anything but looking over the counter there was something that just looked tasty with huge chunks of chocolate and swirls. I don't even know what the flavor was called but the banana just provided a minimum sweetness while the toffee added a salty accent and the chocolate was the perfect tie in. Also, very fun environment! read more

Great service. Ice cream does the job and they have tasty flavors. Ambiance is aesthetically pleasing but the "speakeasy" entrance can be annoying at night. read more

The drinks were good as well as the vibe. But for $23 with tip I wish it wasn't as salty..... read more

New to Denver it took me about 3 weeks before I gave it a shot and I am kicking myself for not doing so earlier. More oft than not they have unique flavors I indulge in almost every weekend. (Highly recommended for anyone who has munchies nearby). The staff is always really nice and polite. I have not tried the speakeasy, but may do so soon. Some of the top flavours I enjoyed was the Chai Ube, Apple Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake. The Menu does change so I recommend checking their website ahead of time. read more

Quirky, delicious flavors and excellent service! The key lime was amazing and tart. Tried a sample of the toffee pear and I'll get it next time. read more

I've been here a couple of times. The ice cream is good! They have a great selection of flavors and everything there tastes really good. The ambiance is nice and the service Is always friendly. Definitely check them out! read more

Still a great place to grab ice cream! Or visit Frozen Matter (speakeasy) in the back. But only when there's parking available. So many times I've driven around in circles looking for a spot, spending more time doing that than actually enjoying the businesses. But I like their variety of flavors. Decent service, too. I do like this neighborhood and especially the little clear greenhouse tents on the patio leftover from COVID lockdown days. read more

This small regional ice cream chain serves up classic tasty ice cream flavors...and also weird, funky and eccentric hipster inspired flavors...perfect! The friendly staff thankfully let me try a few flavors before settling down. The Whiskey flavored ice cream wasn't for me, and I do love Whiskey! Surprisingly the Brie cheese ice cream hit me in the heart, as I am a cheese whore, especially brie! I pared with with a scoop of coffee ice cream...delicious! Seems a bit pricey a $8.50ish for 2 full scoops in a big waffle cone, but that's the normal price I've seen for high end hipster ice cream. read more

Delicious and wonderful service. I was here with my family who were looking for a quick cup of caffeine. As they are usually sweet coffee drinkers, the barista was very patient and helpful to us in making a drink selection. If you like a good cup of coffee for its flavor this place is great. (I'm a plain iced latte gal.) the cafe had sleek and clean vibe. Their pastries were beautifully made as well. I ordered their croissant with ham, cheese and green chili. The layers were perfectly buttery and flaky while the filling was savory and well-balanced. I am tempted to return based on their food selection alone. I also bought home some of their loose leaf tea for home. Their Morning Mist green tea (light and smoky), their Honey Orchid Oolong (light and toasty), and their Dehong Snow Phoenix (a mellow Silver Needle white tea). I was very pleased with these and they steeped a wonderful cup of tea. Top marks. read more

I am surprise with their ice cream flavors and they are open pretty late! Love it and will definitely go back!

Awesome customer service and creative delicious ice cream! GO! NOW! Beat this Summer heat and pack on the pounds. read more

I've been here twice in the past two weeks and I have no complaints so far. The consistency of their ice cream is great, taste is great. I do wish they had more sorbet or vegan options but great overall. This trips flavors: Vegan vanilla Vanilla Milk and cookies Strawberry Mint and Chip Favorite? Milk and Cookies 10/10 would recommend. read more

The consistency of the ice cream at Frozen Matter is no joke. It's very smooth and just feels like great caramel that melts on your tongue. But it doesn't melt into liquid water just because it's super hot out so you can still enjoy an ice cream without rushing to slurp it up. Ube was delicious and creamy along with cookies ice cream flavor. There's a speakeasy located in the back so the line may be confusing at times. read more

DAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!! This is such a great icecream shop. I had the vegan chocolate with toasted marshmallow fluff. Yep, you read that right- TOASTED marshmallow. The moment I had the first scoop I thought I died and went to heaven. Absolutely scrumptious. 10/10 would recommend specifically the toasted marshmallow. It's a game changer when it comes to icecream *licks lips* read more

Cool place for ice cream. Frozen Matter has some crazy flavors. It has both ice cream and sorbet. Bad thing is that it's expensive. The ice cream though is high quality. Has a good amount of flavors. I came here with a friend. There was plenty of room for outdoor seating. It has so many good sounding flavors. There's always a few non dairy sorbets. It has some interesting ingredients. Sometimes these are not typically what you find in ice cream places and they can be unusual. I had the coconut lime sorbet, and my female friend had the cantaloupe cardamom sorbet. It's about $5 for a cup, which is kind of a lot for this. The sorbets has so much taste and they should be priced higher than typical ice cream though. It's high quality stuff compared to typical ice cream. This is still of course too expensive to get often. It should be checked out if you like odd flavored ice cream. Lots of crazy ones to choose from There's also a speakeasy that's hidden next to this so we have to go back there. read more

Sweet Action - Coconut Lime Sorbet - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The service was good and the ice cream was great. Although a little bit on the expensive side. I particularly like the salted caramel.

Meh - just about okay!! Visited this place after reading a few reviews on Yelp - this place belongs to sweet action which is actually one of my fav ice cream places in Denver - so my expectations were high! I tried the green tea caramel ice cream - cloyingly sweet, so was the pecan ice cream! Also tried the black sesame ice cream - not a fan! I am more interested in trying the speakeasy that's in this ice cream place! The ice cream here is okay and nothing great! read more

Love stepping out of my comfort zone, especially when it comes to ice cream flavorsCheck out this cool location if you are in the Colorado area! What's cool about frozen matter is that not only do they sell ice cream but they also have a speakeasy in the back. Must be 21 and up to enter. Visit yelp for more info. I got 1 scoop of Cantaloupe cardamom sorbet and 1 scoop of peach Thyme |Tips|: Make sure you view yelp reviews in regards to the speakeasy. I was not able to get in due to time but they do have a long wait list read more

Loved the garage door entrance. Went for the speakeasy but it wasn't open until later in the day. We grabbed the butterscotch ice cream, which tasted just like it sounds! & the milk & cookies ice cream which was really good!! Peach cobbler ice cream was my favorite! It literally had cake in it! So fresh & fancy. Staff was helpful with samples too. read more

Where has this dairy free ice cream place been all my life! Was in the are for an event and a few people I was with mentioned Frozen Matter as one of the best ice cream establishments for vegan/dairy free ice cream. Naturally, I had to check it out. We walked over and the women was kind enough to let us all try a few different flavors before making out selections. I got the Orange Honeycomb. A unique flavor that also had and unexpected chocolate shaving through. Typically dairy free ice creams just aren't as creamy has traditional ice cream but, Frozen Matter has figured out the secret. read more

We got here around 9pm and we were so excited that it was open. I ordered a single scoop of milk and cookies and my sister got a brownie with salted butterscotch. The brownie was perfect, and the serving was pretty spot on. It wasn't too much and it wasn't too little. This was a great way to end our night. read more

I tried some samples (Salted butterscotch and cardamom lemon bar were both good) but ultimately settled on strawberry chamomile and Whiskey brickle. As you can tell, they have some unusual flavors but none of them seemed gimmicky and I like all of them. I couldn't really taste the chamomile too much but it was a good creamy strawberry and the whiskey was certainly present but again, more muted than you might think. I might get the cardamom lemon bar next time I'm in for a zingier flavor. $6 in total for a single scoop with a split (extra charge) but they already include the tip, so it was $6 flat which I appreciate. read more

I have tried multiple flavors and haven't been too impressed with their bespoke options. I will say their mainstays, like their cookies and cream and chocolate varieties are good. I very much appreciate the workers getting paid reasonable wages so tips aren't requested. read more

Live in the neighborhood and decided to give this place a try. My son and I were underwhelmed by the flavors compared to numerous other options reasonably close by. The breaking point was $7.00 for one scoop. Zero value at that price. I know other places have similar pricing, but these scoops are small by anyone's standards. If this is what the cost needs to be to run an ice cream shop, it's a said state of affairs in Denver. read more

The mint chip was so so good. This is a walk up ice cream place in a cool part of town. They have a small section for seating, cute little glass huts. It's expensive, but the portions are huge and the flavors are really fun. I had the mint chip and it was amazing. Free water station too. read more

Walked over to Sweet Action, we were barely greeted and after not getting the cone we wanted without an apology, and paying 7.00 for a single serving cone each. We were very disappointed in the experience. We will save our 14.00 for dessert next time. Sorry Sweet Action. read more
