Craving a sweet treat? There's no better way to cool down on a warm summer day than a scoop (or two!) of your favorite ice cream. Whether you prefer a tried-and-true classic flavor like chocolate or vanilla or an overloaded option piled high with toppings like nuts or caramel, in a bowl or in a cone, there are plenty of incredible creameries and shops around the Centennial State that are worth a visit.
Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best ice cream parlor" in every state, the shops that have become a go-to for customers with a sweet-tooth or those looking to beat the heat with a frozen treat.
According to the site, the best ice cream parlor in all of Colorado is The Little Man Ice Cream Co. This Denver not only has tasty ice cream crafted from local ingredients, but its unique appearance, located in a giant milk can, also provides a perfect backdrop for a fun pic. The Little Man Ice Cream Co. has several iterations around the city. Find your nearest location by visiting the website.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this popular spot:
"This vintage style ice cream parlor is housed inside an iconic 28-foot-tall cream milk can, which has become a local landmark. Specializing in handmade ice cream featuring locally sourced ingredients, it also serves a menu of floats, malts, shakes, banana splits, and sundaes and hosts regular live music nights on its cobbled patio."
