Summer 2020 has definitely been a “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream” kind of season, and July just happens to be NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH! Not that I needed a reason to have a scoop…or three, but it’s not a holiday I mind celebrating.
There are so many great ice cream spots in town, but I think the BEST ice cream shop in Denver right now is a local boutique spot on Colfax, called Smith+Canon Ice Cream Co.

Curt Peterson, the owner of Smith+Canon Ice Cream Co, is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the scratch-made Philadelphia-style ice cream he creates. Before I decided on my final flavor, and let me tell you this decision was hard, he walked me through a personal ice cream sampling.
Explaining all the unique flavors and tasting notes. I went in for ice cream, and came out having a full-on culinary adventure! The customer service was outstanding to say the least!
Several of the flavors are genuinely some of the most rich, silky, luscious ice cream I’ve ever experienced. Everything is made from scratch, and you can really taste the difference in the mouthfeel. Complex sophisticated ice cream.

Must Try Ice Cream Flavors
- Dew Sabi: Honey Dew meets Wasabi
- Foxy Brown: A mix between Cinnamon Rolls & Cheesecake
- Peanut Butter Cup
- Butterbrickle: Salty, Buttery, & Toffee
- Thai Tea: Sweet Black Tea

One bite and I guarantee you’ll agree Smith + Canon Ice Cream Co. is producing some of the BEST small batch craft ice cream you’ve ever tasted!

There is a beautiful wood counter to enjoy your ice cream at, or a cute patio in the back of the building to relish your cool treats from a social distance. Also, City Park is only a couple of blocks away (Corner of 17th & York) with the Thatcher Memorial Fountain if your up for an ice cream picnic!
