Old Town Churn Review
Old Town Churn is the Fort Collins outpost of Denver's legendary Little Man Ice Cream. Located right in Old Town, it brings the same creative, small-batch approach that made Little Man a Denver icon.
Gelato & aMore Review
Gelato & aMore brings authentic Italian gelato to Fort Collins using imported equipment and traditional European technique. It's a refreshing alternative to American-style ice cream.
Heaven Creamery Review
Heaven Creamery has carved out a unique niche in Fort Collins' ice cream scene with its health-conscious approach. Their ice cream uses 50% less sugar and organic ingredients, plus they offer over 18 vegan flavors.
Kilwins Review
Kilwins is a national franchise known for its fudge, chocolates, and ice cream. Their Old Town Fort Collins location benefits from heavy foot traffic and offers a sweet-shop experience beyond just scoops.
Ben & Jerry's Review
Ben & Jerry's needs no introduction. Their Fort Collins scoop shop in Old Town Square serves the same beloved flavors you know from grocery stores, plus exclusive shop-only options.
Dairy Queen Review
Dairy Queen is the fast food baseline for ice cream in Fort Collins. Their Blizzards and soft serve are fine for a quick, cheap treat, but they're playing a different game than the local artisan shops.
