Honestly, Dove or Ghirardelli chocolates from a regular grocery store would have been a better option. Customer service was mediocre--just a quick greeting when we walked in and nothing beyond that.

He's a foodie like his father, so that actually carries weight. The shop itself has a fun, colorful vibe without feeling overdone. About average in size for an Estes Park spot, but the atmosphere makes it feel welcoming and lively. Bonus points: they handed out a sticker of their logo, and it's a high‑quality sticker it was a nice touch. Overall, a great stop for anyone craving really good ice cream and great service from friend staff in Estes Park.

It was decent, but not great - I felt I could've received similar soft serve from a fast food restaurant. Overall, a confusing visit. Not sure I would visit again, for ice cream anyways.

This place's smoothie's tasted eerily similar; which is an amazing thing. We didn't partake in the food because frankly, I had no idea what it all was as it is Mexican food. But we definitely had a few smoothies over the four days that we were in EP. They were super friendly and really fast when making our smoothies. When we come back to EP, we will definitely be going back. We have been craving a smoothie from this place nearly every day since.

My Hogback Sour Cocktail was over the moon. Made from bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, egg white, and Cabernet float. The unique blend made a great drink. I wanted more, but held back because we were hiking later. My wife's traditional slightly dirty martini was perfectly made as well. We started with the homemade chips and dip. Nice crispy chips with beautiful fresh made onion dip. Next came the Pheasant soup. I wanted to lick the bowl clean, it was so yummy. The main course for me was the carnivore plate with elk, filet, sausage, and broccoli/shallots. The elk meat was the star on my plate. Having that next to the filet mignon allowed me to taste test them in real time. The Elk meat won hands down. Not even close in my opinion. The sausage was packed with wonderful flavors, but after a few bites overwhelmed my palette. My wife had the Creamy Potato Gnocchi Bowl. We both shared each other's dishes. She loved the Elk Meat. I really enjoyed the Gnocchi, and wished it could be a side dish to my Elk meat. Service was great with Elizabeth checking on us at the right times. Tip: Ask for the postcard and the restaurant will send it out for you after you fill it out. Tip: the restaurant fills up quickly, so call ahead and get a reservation.

Some wacky and unique flavors include cheese corn, and peanut corn. It looks like they have about 10 different and unique flavors. Aside from their Caramel Crisp, they have delightful Caramel dipped Apples that are covered in different colored sprinkles and peanuts or simply plain. I think it's also helpful to say that they offer sugar free option candy and salt water taffy. Their bulk candy is weighed and sold between $2.00 and $5.00 depending on the weight. Overall, a really cool candy shop.
