Glacier Homemade Ice Cream

I did my Unilocal research before my one-​day visit to Boulder, so I knew that Glacier Ice Cream is a must-​try, especially on a 90+ degree day. The ice cream here was really good, but I’m not convinced it was any better than Coldstone.
I got two scoops – the caramel Oreo and the funky donkey (peanut butter Oreo). The funky donkey was better than the caramel Oreo, although I’m pretty sure the guy told me that caramel Oreo is one of their most popular varieties. Ice cream was average-​priced – I think it was a little over four bucks for two scoops.
Good ice cream but nothing spectacular.

I definitely have to say that I had a hot fudge sundae with a chocolate chip cookie dough fudge ice cream that was pretty yummy. The lady behind the counter appeared to have a little bit of trouble with English but I don’t think it was too bad and we still understood one another. ^_^
Just FYI, this place accepts credit cards and Flatirons Meal Plan.

The location on the hill just closed. For the entire winter. What? People don’t like ice cream in the winter? Thousands of drunk students walking by your store daily and none of them are going to crave ice cream? Hell, Boulder doesn’t have any 80 degree days in January? This makes no sense.
Before they closed, I started trying to get pints there instead of scoops, because I am money conscious (also see: cheapskate) and the ones in the fridge looked kind of old and caved in. I asked the girl at the counter how long they’d be in there. She said she had no idea. Great, well, okay, I guess I’ll give it a try anyway.
Wrong. It was full of ice crystals and tasted stale. It’s very difficult to make me not want to finish a bowl of peanut butter/​chocolate anything, but Glacier’s pint achieved the impossible.

Why are you not at Glacier right now? You should be. It’s amazing. Go. Seriously, go right now.

Outside of Minneapolis, this is my favorite ice cream place. And let me tell you, we have some damn fine ice cream establishments in the land of 10,000 lakes. But if I had to choose a runner up to Pumphouse and Seb Joe’s it would have to be Glacier.
I’ve been here 3 times. My first time was a couple years ago, and the birthday cake ice cream was so orgasmic I contemplated having it overnighted to MSP. The last 2 times were just this past week. Once again, the birthday cake did not disappoint. The coconut lime gelato was maybe even better. The cotton candy was a little blah and the oreo was very good, but not as good as I’ve had at Seb Joes. But either way, Glacier deserves 5 stars. They have a inventive flavors, and are super tasty as well.

My favorite ice cream ever, of all time. Inventive, delicious flavors that never ever disappoint. They let you taste as many of the fun flavors as you like, they make the ice cream right there in Boulder and use the freshest of ingredients. Don’t miss it if you are in town!

This is some of the best ice cream you’ll ever enjoy. It’s no wonder that the Dairy Queen across the street couldn’t stay in business while this wonderful local business, that makes its own ice cream, flourishes.
A week ago, my girlfriend and I were here, and sadly, her scoops fell off the cone as we walked home. But Glacier had more, so we both got our ice cream after all.
Perhaps best Glacier stop ever: After a Rockies game, about six of us went to Glacier for ice cream, took them to the park and threw around a Frisbee.

Take it from a serious ice cream snob and addict — this place is just awesome. Some of the best ice cream around, at least 50 flavors and often more. Some excellent combinations (chocolate cinnamon is a favorite) and solid basics. Made right in Boulder. Man would it be good if they’d open a store on Pearl St — I’d do my part to make it worth their while!

Next time you’re in Boulder, Colorado stop at the Glacier Homemade Ice Cream shop on College Ave. It is some of the best ice cream around and great fuel for those long hikes into the Rocky Mountains. This local ice cream provider offers a number of great flavors including Death by Chocolate and Key Lime Pie and some old favorites like Mint Chocolate Chip. Best of all they make all the ice cream themselves –
