Glacier Ice Cream

Best ice cream in Colorado!!! This place has such creamy goodness that I will eat until I have ruined my dinner. We ate our ice cream in shop, but seriously considered getting a road-​ice cream to go. There are so many flavors, and you can try them all! If you come up with a crazy flavor, they even take suggestions for future batches! There’s even gelato but I’m a true ice cream girl so I can’t speak for the gelato. They pride themselves on local ingredients and you can truly taste the love. I’ve also tried their candies. They are different, but yummy. The passion fruit roll was not something I would have thought of, but was really a delight. This place is a must visit!

I mean seriously… this ice cream is incredible! The owner does such an amazing job putting creativity into his flavors, but also into training his staff. I really enjoyed every single ice cream I tried, but especially the cinnamon. I like the massive selection of both ice cream, and gelato.
I highly recommend Glacier!

Great place to come if you love ice cream. This was my first time trying glacier. Any flavor you could imagine they have also they have gelato. All free of corn syrup, gmo’s and gluten. As they explained corn syrup is hard to digest so they use coconut syrup. Great to have a more natural ingredients. They make most flavors in house they even off caramels and energy chews. Thanks for the great staff and unique flavors.

This place is ice cream heaven — and because of their dedication to making as much of their own ingredients as possible in house, their support of other local businesses for the remaining ingredients, their use of hormone free dairy products, and their use of tapioca syrup rather than high fructose corn syrup — it’s guilt free. Well, maybe not entirely guilt free when you try as many flavors as I did! No shame. I didn’t encounter a flavor I didn’t like, but my personal favorites were the passion fruit gelato (Seriously, try it… you won’t regret it), chocolate hazelnut ice cream, nutella gelato, and pralines and cream ice cream. The staff is hospitable and attentive… and patiently humored all of my numerous taste tests. I look forward to stopping back in to try a new creation when I’m in the area, and I’ll have to keep an eye out for the next time there’s a bourbon or whiskey infused ice cream on the menu!

What a fun evening. Desert for dinner! Glacier has become my go to for quality ice cream, gelato, and now caramels. The ingredients are top notch and the owner/​staff are passionate about their product. Caramel sea salt Oreo ice cream. What more is there to say?

Visited Glacier last night. How could I not have known the effort they go though to make the healthiest possible ice cream. They start with hormone-​free dairy products. Other items for flavor are local and organic. They do not use corn-​syrup for sweetening. I could go on, but you get the idea. This is ice cream that is NOT a chemistry set on a cone. They have a dizzying array of flavors from which to choose, and eagerly encourage customers to suggest more flavors. You have to try their hot fudge syrup, it’s freshly made (doesn’t come out of a can, and you can tell!).
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and happy to let you try various flavors. We don’t eat a lot of ice cream, but when we do, we will come here!

Really amazing ice cream and staff! You can tell they love making ice cream and are excited to hear suggestions for new flavors. And as a bonus, it’s made with no corn syrup.

We had some very delicious ice cream and gelato here! The staff were great, very helpful & friendly.
Hot tips: (well, cold tips)
Sea salt caramel Oreo, coffee, key lime gelato, caramel health nut ice cream & Jamaican coconut! Oh and don’t forget to try the caramel praline, I think that’s a new favourite.
We also tried and liked (not loved) the churro ice cream, pistachio gelato, mango gelato.
Not so yummo — junior mint ice cream & coffee gelato. The coffee was pretty darn strong and the junior mint was just… different. I’ve never had junior mints before so wasn’t sure what to expect really.
We also got some candies & cheetah chews but haven’t tried them yet.

Visited with my oldest son. Wasn’t too terribly busy when we first walked in but that changed quickly. Staff was very friendly. It didn’t seem like customers were used to standing in a line because everyone was all over, however, there were a lot of cases of ice cream to review. I had just received my ice cream and was about to order my son’s when a teenage girl tried to order from my server. Server kindly told her she would be with her shortly. Ice cream was pricey but my son and I were satisfied with our flavor choices. The shop shares a bathroom with other businesses and my son and I both were appalled at the lack of cleanliness. We grabbed a couple cups of the free water available and headed outside to eat. The chairs and tables were dirty and wobbly. Could use some improvements but the ice cream was good.

The Good:
Best. Ice cream. EVER. They have an amazing selection of unusual & classic flavors, lots of gelato, milkshakes and even coffee. Their smallest non-​kids size gets you two flavors, which is AWESOME – the only thing better than ice cream is two kinds at once! I always get their Bing Cherry (made with real cherries!) and classic chocolate, and every bite is amazing — you can really tell the difference between their homemade, small-​batch, high-​quality ice cream and the mass-​produced garbage at Dairy Queen.
The Bad:
Nothing!
The Food:

The Service:
Order at the counter, they’re nice & always willing to give out samples, try some of their crazy flavors!
Overall:
Best ice cream ever, don’t bother with crappy corporations! Glacier uses the best ingredients and it makes the difference! You can tell they really care about making a quality product. I LOVE Glacier!!!

So good! Housemade ice cream, yum. I had butterfinger gelato, and it was the best thing ever. So many choices, but they give you samples if you ask!
Fast, friendly, service.

Amazing ice cream shop. It is huge and they have tons of flavors.

Oh my goodness. I thought Sweet Cow was awesome, and then I came here. The selection is incredible! Salted Butterscotch, Birthday Cake, Snickers, Mango Sorbet and the list goes on! Delusions in ice cream! The only reason they get 4 stars is because the ice cream my daughter had was soft.

My family had 5 flavors, all of which we shared. Each one was a flavor explosion in our mouths — amazing. I wish I lived closer.

I am a sucker for shops that make their own ice cream. I was at another dessert venue and asked the cashier where I should go for my 2^nd dessert stop (#fattie). She said that Glacier would probably be the best ice cream I have ever tried. After a statement like that, how could I not go!!!
We drove through the snow (for a Texan, that’s a pretty big deal) to get here so expectations were high.
Inside, the ambience is nothing too exciting but the staff was very friendly and patient. My friend tried about 10 flavors and I didn’t see the staff roll their eyes once!
There are so many flavors to pick from and a lot of them are very unique or are an enticing flavor combination. I asked an employee for help on where to start and she highly recommended the red velvet mix. She informed me that the red velvet cake came from a local bakery (I just love that!). After sampling that and a couple of other flavors, I decided on the red velvet.
The ice cream was delicious! If you love red velvet, order this!
My hubby got the chocolate cookie coffee ice cream sandwich. He really enjoyed the ice cream but found the cookie to be too hard and somewhat stale.
If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, this is an excellent option!

I love ice cream, and Glacier is my favorite place to get my fix! Great flavor combos, some unique and some traditional. The chocolate dipped waffle cones are deadly but oh so good! I love the light anise flavor, rarely still found in waffle cones but done correctly by Glacier. My husband’s favorite is the raspberry chocolate melt, and I love any of the oreo flavors (mint cookies and cream, caramel cookies and cream, cookie jar…).

None of the Glacier locations are particularly close to me so I don’t go that often but they do serve good gelato and ice cream. The flavors rotate a lot so I need to be more open minded. I often get hooked on favorite flavors and am disappointed when not available. This is true of most places, not just Glacier, but I seem to notice it more here.
The service was friendly. The parking convenient, which for Boulder is a big deal.

I used to go here several times a week. No more.
I order a thick shake. They replaced everyone working there about 2 years ago and none of the new people were taught how to do this. So after a couple of failures I stopped going.
With that said, if you want something other than a shake. Or a shake this is milk with a small amount of ice cream, then what they have is good.

In a city that seems to have more «organic gelato» shops than ice cream stands, Glacier is KING!
I’m not sure about how it holds up against the nation’s favorites, but when it comes to Colorado, I don’t think this place can be beat. Mint and Caramel Oreo. Caramel Brownie Blast. Vermont Maple Syrup. Nutella, Smore, well, I could go on for days. Wait… COOKIE JAR. Have you ever called an ice cream place to make sure they had your favorite flavor that day? Me neither… until Glacier.
I like having options, and sometimes Two Spoons on Walnut is a nice change of pace, and I feel a little healthier. But what is the point?! Ice cream is meant to be enjoyed, in all its decadent glory. Glacier cannot be beat.

I have previously written a review for the Glacier in North Boulder, and this one is equally as good.
Glacier’s ice cream is as good as it gets. I think if they were to open a shop in Denver they’d certainly give Sweet Action, et. al. a run for their money. Their ice cream is the perfect cool, creamy consistency and their flavors our outstanding and truly unique without going overboard. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it now: try the Funky Donkey best flavor of ice cream ever. It’s got caramel, peanut butter and oreos mixed in SO GOOD. I had a ½ scoop of that and a ½ scoop of a new one called Rice Krispie treat: a marshmallowy ice cream with chunks of the treats mixed in. YUM.
If your making a day of Boulder, put one of their locations one of your itinerary.
