Sweet Action

The ice cream here is perfection because they make all the ice cream homemade. Also, it's fairly cheape. They exchange flavors every week so different varieties and flavors are always being made. I kept it simple and order just vanilla on a freshly made waffle cone amazing ice cream was soft creamy taste phenomenal. 100% recommend!

I was suddenly craving an ice cream sandwich and walked here. It was absolutely delicious and so satisfying. The options were to get one pre-made out of the freezer or get a cookie in a cup with a scoop of ice cream on top. There was a chocolate chocolate chip cookie with cinnamon ice cream in the freezer. Stella was so helpful with recommending the options and heated up the frozen ice cream sandwich in the microwave for a few moments. They also have cups and water which was great! Fabulous experience. Stella is amazing and the ice cream is as well!

Boy do I love this place. Seriously some of the best ice cream flavors i’ve ever had. The Baklava ice cream is the best thing I’ve ever tried in my life. Been waiting almost a whole year for it to comr back, but maybe one day! I’d but lots of it if you guys make a batch. Thanks for being so awesome

We used Sweet Action's ice cream cart as our wedding vendor for Ice Cream instead of having wedding cake - and our guests loved it! They were flexible with timing, professional and prompt - and the ice cream was delicious! The pricing was incredibly reasonable as well compared to other similar vendors! Highly recommend!

This place had a line to the door when I arrived. But the wait was worth it. I could not decide between Mighty Mint and Chocolate Mint, so I asked for a bit of both in a single scoop cup, which was perfect. I tried to decide which was better between the two and I couldn’t decide! Both were so good! Staff were very friendly, and I like their no tipping policy. I found parking on Broadway right in front of the place. Excellent ice cream experience!

This is the best ice cream I've ever had! We went on a weekday with no line. They had about 12 different unqiue flavors to choose from. Many of their ingredients are locally sources and the ice cream is hand crafted. I got the Milk & Cookies and it was very creamy with high quality flavors. This isn't just your average Ice Cream parlor.

Dont pay attention to snotty negative reviews on this place. They are THE BEST ice cream ive ever had. Very homemade, creamy, quality ice cream. I got the orange creamsicle, and strawberry. So naturally flavored! And my husband got the mango sherbet. He was also equally happy. Highly recommend!

The ice cream is really good (albeit a bit expensive) but what made me choose 3 stars was the customer service. The person with long hair wearing a black mask and glasses seemed like they wanted to be anywhere but there, made my partner and I both feel bad for asking for sampling flavors with their negative aura.

Sweet action cake highly recommended by a friend -- and it did not disappoint! One of the yummiest ice cream scoops I've ever had. I can't remember the name of the flavor, but it had Oreos. It was creamy, rich, and I chocolate-y enough. I went late in the evening (maybe an hour before closing) + parking wasn't too bad (right across the street). It's a super cute establishment! I can't wait to go back.

Got some ice cream here after seeing a comedy show next-door, the staff was really nice and the place was cute with a few small tables in the back I tried a few different ice creams before deciding, including the Beetlejuice, leftover from Halloween, but i felt they were lacking in flavor. It was just very soft, Then I tried the salted butterscotch and felt it had a lot more zap to it. I wanted to split my scoop with two flavors, but at that point I had already tried three or four flavors and didn't want to keep asking to try more lol. So I got the salted butterscotch and tried the cake explosion without sampling it first. I was a little disappointed by it, I felt it was also a little lackluster in flavor, but with the salted butterscotch, it was good

I absolutely adore this chic little ice cream joint. It's located right on Broadway in a very eclectic part of town. It's a very queer area and the LGBTG patrons are my tribe. I feel comfortable among my kind, that's for sure. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The place is clean, well organized and I really enjoy the huge open window space looking out on Broadway. It's a great way to people watch, enjoy the evening and eat ice cream. I ordered a scoop of pina colada sorbet in a waffle cone and it was pure heaven. Creamy, smooth, cold and yummy. I love this area of Broadway and now I have yet another reason to spend time among my people.

If you're in broadway and looking for something sweet, come to Sweet Action. They have a nice selection of flavors to choose from and they have a nice variety of GF and Vegan choices. They have samples to try. It's a nice little spot with plenty of seating. A nice place if you're looking for dessert after dinner. I got the banana toffee and that was actually really delicious. However, when I sampled it, I didn't taste any chocolate chips but it did come with chocolate so not my cup of tea. Otherwise, it tasted like banana bread as ice cream. The flavors do change so there's always something new to try.

After a mid-day walk on the hottest day in over 2 weeks, I needed a place to sit and cool off. Since there are few shaded benches on Broadway, I came to Sweet Action. I noticed 2 new alcoholic ice creams &1 alcholic sorbet plus new ice creams. I chose the Coffee Road with coffee ice cream and pecans. The server mentioned that it had pecans in it. She said some customers recently complained about the nuts but didn't read the menu board. It clearly indicates nuts. Maybe scanning phone screens too much, people are losing comprehension skills. The Ice cream was smooth and a little sweet with crunchy pecans. Plenty of indoor seating with their unique garage door counter. You can buy pints and I saw new dairy-free frozen desserts in a cookie. Also new pup cups. They do not accept tips and only take credit/debit cards.

As someone who can't have dairy at the moment, I was really excited to see how many vegan options they had available. Some were sorbets but there was also a lot of other chocolate based flavours. The waffle cones are quite brittle and thin but I actually enjoyed that and thought it paired well with the ice cream. The one scoop is very generous and the staff was very pleasant/friendly. The space was big and in a cool area of town to explore afterwards.

Yes, Sweet Action is a bit pricey for ice cream but is heavenly and 100% worth it IMHO. I got one of their seasonal flavors of orange cardamom (and I believe something else I'm forgetting what it was) and it was amazing. None of their flavors were too overpowering and they meshed really well. In short, this ice cream is awesome.

I love Sweet Action! They have the absolute best flavors and EVERYONE can find a flavor that they like. They also have ice cream sammies and stooper dupers! A strooper duper is an ice cream sammie made with their housemade version of a stroopwaffel, housemade caramel, and sweet cream ice cream! It is absolutely delicious!! My favorite ice creams right now are Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee.

This place is so cute and the ice cream is yummy! I like how they stay open pretty late. The service was awesome, she allowed us to try as many flavors as we wanted until we chose what we liked. She also shared which were the best sellers, with an overall great attitude she seemed very happy to help which always makes experiences that much better. Salted butterscotch is a 10/10! Me and my friends loved our ice cream.

Stopped by Sweet Action for a treat on Mother's Day after lunch nearby. It was nice and quiet and calm inside when we arrived. We were greeted right away and were able to try some different flavors. They have a lot of gluten free and vegan options to choose from. I tried the French chocolate and hubby tried the salted butterscotch. Our son had a vanilla bean cone with sprinkles. Everything tasted great and the employee working all by themselves was super friendly and helpful!

Great ice cream! The consistency was super thick and creamy. We tried root beer, whiskey, salty butterscotch, and pistachio lemon shortbread. My favorite was definitely the pistachio because the chunks of shortbread were so good. I also loved the butterscotch. The root beer flavor was super intense and I thought the whiskey one was pretty good but not my favorite. Because there is alcohol in that one the consistency is a bit different. Service was super nice and the store was actually super clean.

My daughter had a craving for a nice milk shake. After having a dinner at an exquisite French restaurant only 5 minutes away, we came here for a little scoop of ice cream and an exquisite milk shake. And Sweet Action actioned to take care of us!! This place doesn't have a massive selection of ice cream to choose from. But they have interesting/intriguing flavors no other ice cream places have such as Stranahan's Whiskey Brickle, Strawberry Chamomile, Lavender Caramel to name a few. What's great is that each flavor is marked with V for vegan, GF for gluten free; I appreciate this conscientiousness to serve people with dietary restrictions. This place is so generous about giving out samples/tasters. My daughter asked a sample of three different flavors; the young lady behind the counter said, "No problem!!" They truly want you go have the flavor that suits your palate. My daughter picked Lavender Caramel and something else for her milk shake; I chose Colorado's proudest, Stranahan's Whiskey in a kiddy cup. They surely took care of our sweet tooth after our dinner; this ended up being an exquisite action to end our night!!

After dinner, I wanted some ice cream for dessert so stumbled upon Sweet Action. Tried some samples of a couple of different flavors and decided on the Whiskey Brickle. Good, but why is it so pricey?!?

After being back in denver for a couple years I finally made my way to Sweet Action on Broadway! And it just have been in the stars because right after we got there the line grew by 10 people. Must be why they limit tasters to two flavors, totally makes sense now. I tried Gansito and Cold Brew and they were out of this world. The flavors were outstanding yet not too sweet and it was oh so creamy. Love the garage door opening where you can sit at the counter and get some quality people watching. Add this one to your list!

My favorite ice cream spot in Denver. So many inventive flavors and old favorites. My go to's are always the STRANAHAN'S WHISKEY BRICKLE and Salted Butterscotch. Today I tried the Orange Honeycomb and it' was very delicious. A new favorite. Worth driving out of the way for a sweet treat.

Delicious! I had to buy a tub to take home. Love the inventive flavors. I didn't loooove a few that I tried but that's what's fun about creative flavors-- especially at places that are constantly introducing new ones. The carmelized pear was so good! The person working was also so nice and patient as I decided what to order haha.

Super cute spot with great service. All the flavors sound so cool !! I don't feel like I choose any basic flavors. Everything was amazing.

This has been a long time favorite ice cream shop of mine for the past 12 years! Always willing to go outta my way to enjoy this spot!

Listen, this is the best Ice Cream in Denver and it's not even close. Their flavors are always innovative and they rotate them out seasonally.

This last weekend, my partner and I had a friend in town who requested we do an ice cream crawl. Let me just tell you, it was a blast. My partner had never been to Sweet Action, so when we found ourselves on the south end of town, I insisted we start our weekend-long ice cream crawl there since it's a shop with some quirkier flavors. When we arrived we spent the longest time pondering the menu. Our friend determined she could get six flavors in one bowl by getting three scoops and utilizing the split option for a dollar more. She has a nut allergy, which the person serving us on Friday night was amazing about considering when choosing flavors. She was able to choose from a broad variety too, which was also ideal for this adventure! I also chose Sweet Action because they have dairy-free options. I am dairy-free, for the most part, so it was great to have various options despite my limitations. I tried the Smoked Chocolate Cherry Torte. The first smoke-filled bite hit hard, like eating barbeque, but once it tapered I really enjoyed the flavor variety. It was a really fun flavor to try. Sweet Action is a fun stop for anyone who likes quirkier flavors of ice cream. I think if you're a classic ice cream purist, it might not appeal as much. However, it is fun to have such wild flavors to start conversations with your friends.

Great spot, service is slow and casual, price point is high but tip is included. Love the Thai iced tea ice cream.

Always fresh and high quality ice cream. And it's very lgbtq friendly, so it feels comfortable to be there!

When I think of iconic ice cream in Denver, I think of Sweet Action. That "little guys" ice cream has nothing compared to Sweet Action. 9 out of 10 times I end up with the Stranahans Whiskey Brickel. Dreams are made of this ice cream. To boot, the staff is incredibly welcoming and diverse. The space is open to all. Tips aren't accepted because they pay their people a living wage. No little guy could touch this place!

I ordered the branch and barrel coffee honey swirl and the salted butterscotch. The staff told us the salted butterscotch was one of their top sellers, and I could clearly taste why. I got both ice cream in the cone, and they were both rich in flavor. I didn't like the waffle cone itself. The staff were really friendly during our experience.

Not sure if the same lady still works there but last time I was there, she had a disgusting attitude with every single customer. I asked for 2 samples and she told me to pick one and refused to give any of my friends more than 1 sample. What kind of rule is this? I've been to sweet action so many times and this has never happened. Then absolutely hilarious we were charged a service fee after. I'm all for tipping your service workers but not like this.

Awesome. I have dairy problems but their ice cream is sooo delicious. They have non dairy options which is great for me (strawberry chamomile). They also do collabs with local businesses (Stranahan's whiskey brickle). I would come back often and recommend others to get their ice cream.

This place is by no means not tasty. However, what they charge for ice cream is insanity to me, so I can't recommend it. The ice cream always taste too thin to me, so I'm guessing they add too much sugar or something. I really want to like this place because it's convenient, but boy it's always a disappointment Also the lines can be really slow :(

Went in for a milkshake. They had neither milk nor chocolate ice cream. They offered me a soy shake which I turned down.

Smooth and almost sticky like consistency ice cream when you dig your spoon in and lift. Customer service was awesome too. I think we went at a bad time because the flavors were very safe and nothing too exotic enough for my preference. The most exotic flavor available that night was a strawberry balsamic goat cheese ice cream flavor but I had a pizza similar to that at dinner before this place.

Update: try the Mango Chimango - it's an obvious mango ice cream with pickled (I think) mango slices in tajin like spice! This ice cream took me back to Tulum! Highly recommend this flavour!

Great service tonight at the Broadway location and we had some really delicious flavors! Check out the maple biscoff and the salted golden Oreo, both amazing!

The innovation of the flavors at Sweet Action is very impressive as well as variety of non dairy/vegan flavors. I got a scoop of their vegan chocolate walnut brownie with the vegan chocolate sauce and almonds on top. The ice cream was impressive with the blondies but definitely needed the sauce and almonds on top as the base wasn't extremely rich in flavor. A cute inside with plenty of places to sit.

Ice cream was tasty but don't like their practice to add 18% staff fee without disclosure.

Locally made ice cream with a great selection of flavors makes Sweet Action a cool place to stop! There is also some clever merch to purchase if you're so inclined.

This is one of my favorite night time ice cream places. Their strawberrry is one of the best I have had and the staff is super nice. Always parking available

This is one of my favorite places to get hot chocolate. When will you guys start serving hot chocolate for the 2024 season?

Such good ice cream! They're also the friendliest and very family friendly. There's endless options to choose from in terms of flavors and toppings, and the portions are pretty big. There were 3 of us and we all shared one bowl and it was more than enough! Service is great, you don't wait too long and it's nice enjoying it indoors away from the Denver sun

I'm not sure what the woman working behind the counter had against my girlfriend and me, but it was just an off vibe from the beginning. My gf wanted a kids cup (no she's not a kid) and the woman said she couldn't because it's kids only. Fine, then my gf asked for a single cup but just "not that much." I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding, but the woman was just not having it. I really can't describe how rude she was, it was just a bizarre reaction. She said my gf was making a big deal out of it, and I assure you she could not have been nicer. All she wanted was less than a single scoop, we would have paid full price for it if we were told to. Just so rude and nasty for no reason. My gf was so nice and didn't want to cause problems, and this woman's rudeness really affected her. Needless to say we'll never be going back.

Had the strawberry chamomile, and it was sooo good! Might be my new favorite flavor. I heard so many good things about this shop that I had to try it myself! Thankfully there wasn't a long line, so it was a quick stop. The shop is in such a cute little area too. I definitely recommend sitting outside!

The service was great but the flavor wasn't there... I did not take photos cause I was out with family. I visited Sweet Action right after having dinner at a restaurant near by. It smelled amazing in there! So sweet and heavenly! I was excited they had a lot of fun flavors and options! I got a classic Vanilla Bean Milkshake! The size was huge and perfect!! Everyone knows what vanilla bean is suppose to taste like so I was really excited. When I took my first sip, I was a little dissatisfied. It barely tasted like vanilla. I honestly thought it was a little on the bland side. I was kind of upset I paid close to $9 for a bland milkshake. My friends got other flavors and they all seemed to like theirs. Over all I just wish the flavor was there cause the size was right, but the flavor wasn't there for the price.

Milk & Cookies Deliciousness! So hard to pick from! The Stranahan's was also amazing! But beware.... It has whiskey

I've been in here a number of times for a reason. There hours are very convenient for my odd work schedule and late night craving for good ice cream! There's a speakeasy downstairs that I've been in once, but I always come back just for the ice cream. They have original flavors that I believe they make in house. The service is always great too!

Don't even think about going to the speakeasy in the back if you still have a vertical ID!!! A friend and I were visiting from out of state and were recommended this place! We went to the back freezer and had our IDs ready. The waitstaff who answered immediately denied my friend with her out of state vertical ID because it was vertical. If that is their policy, I believe there was a nicer way to go about it. She immediately denied us and slammed the door. Didn't even look at mine. Rude.

Super cute environment here & the prices are fairly decent considering the sizes & great taste! Customer service was awesome as well & they have really cute seating areas outside on the patio. Inside smells amazing!

What a gem of an ice cream shop! They have a unique variety of delicious flavors, from fruitier ones to candy-based. Service was friendly, helpful, and prompt. Cool music playing and lots of seating space! I had a cup of the M&M ice cream and it was great.

Environmentalists and hippies will admire and praise this place, as they follow a sustainable business model. They also use compostable and recyclable packaging. They resource fresh ingredients from local sources, including the most important of them all, fresh Colorado dairy. I also think about where the ingredients come from, but for other reasons: taste, health and support of local businesses. During a hot summer day, ice cream naturally came to mind. We have our go-to place for frozen custard, but this was convenient for us. Packed with patrons trying to cool off, seating was limited with only a few tables available. My favorite part is the open bar arrangement, indulge in ice cream and people watch strolling the sidewalk. The staff was very pleasant and let me taste a few flavors. I like how they have some unique ones, and apparently routinely change. I ordered the Stranahan's, in a form of a shake. It was delicious, but in all honesty, once you have frozen custard, it's almost impossible to dethrone. I would have named this place "Sweet Ass Ice Cream" for its delicious and sweet treats, but I'm sure some mother would frown at this. Great ice cream with appreciation for the local community.

Nothing curbs a craving for ice cream like seeing the sick staff blow their nose flip the tissue around (ensuring that snot touched their bare fingers) and blow their nose more and then not wash their hands! This guy then went back to work switching out things of ice cream. Touching everything! I saw him switch between working the kitchen to working on papers and he never washed his hands. All he did was wipe them on his pants. Both staff members seemed indifferent in their work.

I love this place! Went last night and there were a lot interesting flavors. I was boring and got mint chocolate chip, but with marshmallow topping and she roasted it for me! I also took one of the cookie sandwiches home with me and it was so good! Saw on the packaging after i ate it that it was dairy-free and vegan (i am neither) and had no idea. Very impressed

Colorado has one of the warmest summers. Denver in particular has no shortage of ice cream shops at all. In the Broadway area Sweet Action is an oasis where you will find happy people winning the battle with this heat! Sweet Action is made in CO. Sourced and handmade with all the other good stuff that goes with it. Like compostable and recyclable packaging. But they start with the most basic fresh CO dairy! Mooooo! Or COOOOOO..!:) We did the scoop and milkshake route. I had two scoops of their Ginger flavored ice cream. They didn't disappoint. This was spicy but just enough. It comes and goes. Creamy. Otherwise it's useless to me if it's not. Company's milkshake was raved about all the way to the trash receptacle which didn't take that long. It was the Stranahan's Whiskey Brickle. Yeah it's CO whiskey with pieces of butter brickle toffee! ***Two Signature Flavors*** The most famous-Butterscotch. Second most famous-Stranahan's Whiskey Brickle. A few chairs inside otherwise you can stand outside and enjoy!
