About Ice Cream Magazine
A Fort Collins local publication dedicated to the city's best frozen treats.
Our Mission
Ice Cream is a Fort Collins local magazine with a simple mission: help you find the best scoop in the Choice City.
We visit every ice cream shop in Fort Collins, taste the flavors, talk to the owners, and write honest reviews so you can spend less time deciding and more time enjoying. Whether you're a CSU student looking for a late-night treat, a family searching for gluten-free options, or a visitor wondering where the locals go — we've got you covered.
What We Do
We publish in-depth shop reviews, seasonal guides, dietary guides (gluten-free, vegan, low-sugar), and the stories behind Fort Collins' favorite frozen treats. Every review includes honest pros and cons, pricing information, and our signature 10-point rating.
Our Rating System
Every shop is scored on a 10-point scale considering flavor quality, variety, dietary accommodations, atmosphere, value, and overall experience. Our Top 10 ranking is updated annually after re-reviewing every shop.
Our Team
Ice Cream Magazine is edited by Sarah Mitchell, a Fort Collins food writer covering the local dessert and ice cream scene. Sarah visits every shop multiple times across different seasons and applies the same scoring rubric to each review.
Editorial Independence
Our team includes people connected to the Fort Collins food community. All ratings reflect our published methodology, and every shop receives the same review framework. We believe honest criticism builds trust — you'll find genuine pros and cons in every review we publish.
