The Story

Stepping into Nuggs feels like a sweet hug from simpler times, a perfect little escape on Colfax where the checkered floors and classic tunes make you smile. The scoops are pure joy, bursting with seasonal flavors that taste just like summer, best savored out on their cozy patio under the Colorado sky. It's a genuine, family-friendly spot that truly captures the heartwarming spirit of a classic American ice cream parlor.

    Nice place, friendly staff and good ice cream. However, I have to warn you that using generative AI to advertise your ice cream flavors is a very bad look for your company. There are plenty of artists in Denver who you could commission for ice cream art, or even just royalty-free images to pull from the internet. AI usage in this day and age looks trashy. Other than that, great ice cream shop.

    Great selection of ice cream flavors and generous portions. You can really tell it's quality when you eat it. I loved the banana pudding and strawberry blonde flavor.

    The line was very long and the place was packed, but once it was my turn to order, the staff member gave me her full attention and was incredibly friendly. She let me sample several flavors before deciding and did an amazing job describing each one (for example, the Blue Moon flavor tastes like Fruit Loops). The scoops were HUGE and definitely worth the price — very filling. The ice cream itself was a little too sweet for my personal taste, but overall it was still a great experience and I’d come back again.

    My husband and I come here almost weekly. We ALWAYS bring our out of town visitors here for a chance to try what we deem the world's best ice cream. The staff could not be kinder, they serve GENEROUS portions, and have the best customer service. I always sample the rotating flavors which are delicious, but I can't stray from the cookies and cream and the cookie dough. They are the BEST!
