Sweet Action

Sweet action has some of the best ice cream flavors in Denver. The salted golden Oreo is incredible and I love their waffle cones. This is also the location for retrograde speak easy behind the freezer door which is a cool spot as well.

I went to Sweet Action pretty late, and the staff was chill and friendly. I tried the Chocolate Pistachio ice cream—it had a great flavor and texture. Simple, tasty, and a good way to end the night.

I’m not going to take all stars off. Their ice cream is really good - but This is not the first time I’ve found hair in my ice cream here… ): I hadn’t said anything before because of trying to be understanding but, 1 2 3 - that’s enough for meee. Being back Frozen Matter 🥹❤️‍🩹

The Salted butterscotch is AMAZING. I can't bring myself to try any other flavors. The young lady behind the counter is lovely. Don't forget to check out the freezer door. If you know you know.

The drunkard ice cream was the best here. Great customer service here as well

Staple ice cream spot. The only issue is choosing between the regular favorites (for me, Salted Golden Oreo) and the constantly rotating menu of more creative flavors. It helps that the staff are always friendly and great about offering samples. I also really appreciate the menu prices supporting fair wages without the need for additional tipping. Haven’t tried the speakeasy in the back yet, but sounds like fun!

Loved the garage door entrance. Went for the speakeasy but it wasn’t open until later in the day. We grabbed the butterscotch ice cream, which tasted just like it sounds! & the milk & cookies ice cream which was really good!! Peach cobbler ice cream was my favorite! It literally had cake in it! So fresh & fancy. Staff was helpful with samples too.

This iceream shop also has a speakeasy. The guy up front (I think his name is paul) was very chill and exciting. He was fast at service but also good at selections for icecream especially with my dietary restrictions for gluten and vegan. I will say the icecream was freaking phenomenal! Vegan options are usually blan but this was good. The speakeasy side was a little small but such a chill vibe. We went on a Wednesday. All the drinks on the menu were the same price, making it easier to focus on the experience of the drink. They also make standard drinks as well. You can also bring your icecream in from the other area. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Denver, CO.

Love Sweet Action! Always lived in this area and have been coming here since it was Frozen Matter. The speakeasy in the back, Retrograde, is a cute plus. Plenty of street parking around. I love all the dairy-free options they have and the alcohol infused flavors! The only thing that I'm mad at is that they have not brought back the vegan banana flavor! With this, their rotating flavors give a good chance to try unique flavors each time I stop by!

While on vacation, if I want ice cream, then I want ice cream whenever I want it. I found Sweet Action, an ice cream shop a few blocks away from a restaurant that I ate at. While most, if not all, places ask for tips these days, this one doesn't, so keep that in mind before visiting. Upon walking inside, I immediately knew that I wanted an ice cream sundae, but also realized at the same time that they had a sign up that said that they were out of hot fudge. Despite this, they were happy enough to substitute it for chocolate sauce, which, according to one of the employees, had a similar taste to chocolate pudding. That was good enough for me, though. I ordered their brownie point sundae ($15 plus tax), which included chocolate ice cream, two brownies (one hot and one cold), chocolate sauce, and whipped cream on top. It was really good and I was able to finish the entire thing, but it was not really worth its' value, with it coming in a medium cup. I would come back again but choose something that matches its' value. There is no seating inside, but they have one picnic table that is accessible through a back door, if you're lucky enough to get it. Otherwise there's a bench on the sidewalk a few feet away. This is worth checking out if you live in the neighborhood or just visiting. Very good sundaes!

Really fantastic and unique flavor options for ice cream and late night sweet treats. They are so gracious and let you sample your options so you can get exactly what you want. They even have waffle cone pieces for dog treats. No seating so this is an order and go place.

Such a cute ice cream shop!, All three flavors we tried get a thumbs up.. The person that helped with the ice cream was really nice. Definitely would recommend and try again soon There's a small seating area, inside and outside the shop.

My friends and I actually came to this spot, because inside the store behind doors is a speakeasy, but after we were done, we decided to get a sweet treat. I got the lemonade flavored sorbet and thought it really hit the spot! It was so refreshing and sorbet is always my favorite because it isn't creamy and doesn't get heavy. If you're looking for a treat after the speakeasy, I would recommend getting a scoop!

Top 3 ice cream places in Denver for us. Y'all, I don't like banana flavored anything but looking over the counter there was something that just looked tasty with huge chunks of chocolate and swirls. I don't even know what the flavor was called but the banana just provided a minimum sweetness while the toffee added a salty accent and the chocolate was the perfect tie in. Also, very fun environment!

New to Denver it took me about 3 weeks before I gave it a shot and I am kicking myself for not doing so earlier. More oft than not they have unique flavors I indulge in almost every weekend. (Highly recommended for anyone who has munchies nearby). The staff is always really nice and polite. I have not tried the speakeasy, but may do so soon. Some of the top flavours I enjoyed was the Chai Ube, Apple Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake. The Menu does change so I recommend checking their website ahead of time.

The drinks were good as well as the vibe. But for $23 with tip I wish it wasn't as salty.....

Quirky, delicious flavors and excellent service! The key lime was amazing and tart. Tried a sample of the toffee pear and I'll get it next time.

Great ice cream and location! Went there on a weeknight with my son and enjoyed a cone and take away pint. With the extra effort instead of just buying Store ice cream

I am surprise with their ice cream flavors and they are open pretty late! Love it and will definitely go back!

I've been here a couple of times. The ice cream is good! They have a great selection of flavors and everything there tastes really good. The ambiance is nice and the service Is always friendly. Definitely check them out!

Awesome customer service and creative delicious ice cream! GO! NOW! Beat this Summer heat and pack on the pounds.

super delicious!!! so many flavors, tough to pick just one! They have a cute little patio area. Friendly service. a lot of options. we will be back!!

Still a great place to grab ice cream! Or visit Frozen Matter (speakeasy) in the back. But only when there's parking available. So many times I've driven around in circles looking for a spot, spending more time doing that than actually enjoying the businesses. But I like their variety of flavors. Decent service, too. I do like this neighborhood and especially the little clear greenhouse tents on the patio leftover from COVID lockdown days.

This small regional ice cream chain serves up classic tasty ice cream flavors...and also weird, funky and eccentric hipster inspired flavors...perfect! The friendly staff thankfully let me try a few flavors before settling down. The Whiskey flavored ice cream wasn't for me, and I do love Whiskey! Surprisingly the Brie cheese ice cream hit me in the heart, as I am a cheese whore, especially brie! I pared with with a scoop of coffee ice cream...delicious! Seems a bit pricey a $8.50ish for 2 full scoops in a big waffle cone, but that's the normal price I've seen for high end hipster ice cream.

Delicious and wonderful service. I was here with my family who were looking for a quick cup of caffeine. As they are usually sweet coffee drinkers, the barista was very patient and helpful to us in making a drink selection. If you like a good cup of coffee for its flavor this place is great. (I'm a plain iced latte gal.) the cafe had sleek and clean vibe. Their pastries were beautifully made as well. I ordered their croissant with ham, cheese and green chili. The layers were perfectly buttery and flaky while the filling was savory and well-balanced. I am tempted to return based on their food selection alone. I also bought home some of their loose leaf tea for home. Their Morning Mist green tea (light and smoky), their Honey Orchid Oolong (light and toasty), and their Dehong Snow Phoenix (a mellow Silver Needle white tea). I was very pleased with these and they steeped a wonderful cup of tea. Top marks.

The service was good and the ice cream was great. Although a little bit on the expensive side. I particularly like the salted caramel.

Fun atmosphere and 1st class flavors await you! Not to mention a friendly staff and great location! All in our group agreed, we will be back!! Picture says it all.

Always a lovely treat in the summer for ice cream. I adore their unique flavors. Great local spot for the summer or warmer evenings with family.

Live in the neighborhood and decided to give this place a try. My son and I were underwhelmed by the flavors compared to numerous other options reasonably close by. The breaking point was $7.00 for one scoop. Zero value at that price. I know other places have similar pricing, but these scoops are small by anyone's standards. If this is what the cost needs to be to run an ice cream shop, it's a said state of affairs in Denver.

I've been here twice in the past two weeks and I have no complaints so far. The consistency of their ice cream is great, taste is great. I do wish they had more sorbet or vegan options but great overall. This trips flavors: Vegan vanilla Vanilla Milk and cookies Strawberry Mint and Chip Favorite? Milk and Cookies 10/10 would recommend.

The consistency of the ice cream at Frozen Matter is no joke. It's very smooth and just feels like great caramel that melts on your tongue. But it doesn't melt into liquid water just because it's super hot out so you can still enjoy an ice cream without rushing to slurp it up. Ube was delicious and creamy along with cookies ice cream flavor. There's a speakeasy located in the back so the line may be confusing at times.

Walked over to Sweet Action, we were barely greeted and after not getting the cone we wanted without an apology, and paying 7.00 for a single serving cone each. We were very disappointed in the experience. We will save our 14.00 for dessert next time. Sorry Sweet Action.

Just went today to grab some hot chocolate which I LOVE but was met with sooo much disappointment. The hot chocolate was lukewarm at best and had a lot of floaties... perhaps it needed a good stir to mix up but I wasn't expecting little slimy bits in it. She also did not fill my cup all the way up! It's a small cup for $4 so it was disappointing to see my cup was not full. We also got a milk shake and AGAIN it was not filled to the top (see photo). These milkshakes are overpriced as is but to not have it fill is thievery. I also noticed the small milkshake is the same price the large one used to be but it is WAAAY smaller. $8 for a small milkshake when that used to be the price for the large or at the time "onesize." I've cut back on going there due to price but I've always been able to get good quality but if this is the quality they are giving moving forward I will not be going at all. I used to LOVE this place and still have hope for the hot chocolate.

Loved the garage door entrance. Went for the speakeasy but it wasn't open until later in the day. We grabbed the butterscotch ice cream, which tasted just like it sounds! & the milk & cookies ice cream which was really good!! Peach cobbler ice cream was my favorite! It literally had cake in it! So fresh & fancy. Staff was helpful with samples too.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!! This is such a great icecream shop. I had the vegan chocolate with toasted marshmallow fluff. Yep, you read that right- TOASTED marshmallow. The moment I had the first scoop I thought I died and went to heaven. Absolutely scrumptious. 10/10 would recommend specifically the toasted marshmallow. It's a game changer when it comes to icecream *licks lips*

Cool place for ice cream. Frozen Matter has some crazy flavors. It has both ice cream and sorbet. Bad thing is that it's expensive. The ice cream though is high quality. Has a good amount of flavors. I came here with a friend. There was plenty of room for outdoor seating. It has so many good sounding flavors. There's always a few non dairy sorbets. It has some interesting ingredients. Sometimes these are not typically what you find in ice cream places and they can be unusual. I had the coconut lime sorbet, and my female friend had the cantaloupe cardamom sorbet. It's about $5 for a cup, which is kind of a lot for this. The sorbets has so much taste and they should be priced higher than typical ice cream though. It's high quality stuff compared to typical ice cream. This is still of course too expensive to get often. It should be checked out if you like odd flavored ice cream. Lots of crazy ones to choose from There's also a speakeasy that's hidden next to this so we have to go back there.

Meh - just about okay!! Visited this place after reading a few reviews on Yelp - this place belongs to sweet action which is actually one of my fav ice cream places in Denver - so my expectations were high! I tried the green tea caramel ice cream - cloyingly sweet, so was the pecan ice cream! Also tried the black sesame ice cream - not a fan! I am more interested in trying the speakeasy that's in this ice cream place! The ice cream here is okay and nothing great!

Love stepping out of my comfort zone, especially when it comes to ice cream flavorsCheck out this cool location if you are in the Colorado area! What's cool about frozen matter is that not only do they sell ice cream but they also have a speakeasy in the back. Must be 21 and up to enter. Visit yelp for more info. I got 1 scoop of Cantaloupe cardamom sorbet and 1 scoop of peach Thyme |Tips|: Make sure you view yelp reviews in regards to the speakeasy. I was not able to get in due to time but they do have a long wait list

We got here around 9pm and we were so excited that it was open. I ordered a single scoop of milk and cookies and my sister got a brownie with salted butterscotch. The brownie was perfect, and the serving was pretty spot on. It wasn't too much and it wasn't too little. This was a great way to end our night.

I tried some samples (Salted butterscotch and cardamom lemon bar were both good) but ultimately settled on strawberry chamomile and Whiskey brickle. As you can tell, they have some unusual flavors but none of them seemed gimmicky and I like all of them. I couldn't really taste the chamomile too much but it was a good creamy strawberry and the whiskey was certainly present but again, more muted than you might think. I might get the cardamom lemon bar next time I'm in for a zingier flavor. $6 in total for a single scoop with a split (extra charge) but they already include the tip, so it was $6 flat which I appreciate.

I have tried multiple flavors and haven't been too impressed with their bespoke options. I will say their mainstays, like their cookies and cream and chocolate varieties are good. I very much appreciate the workers getting paid reasonable wages so tips aren't requested.

Where has this dairy free ice cream place been all my life! Was in the are for an event and a few people I was with mentioned Frozen Matter as one of the best ice cream establishments for vegan/dairy free ice cream. Naturally, I had to check it out. We walked over and the women was kind enough to let us all try a few different flavors before making out selections. I got the Orange Honeycomb. A unique flavor that also had and unexpected chocolate shaving through. Typically dairy free ice creams just aren't as creamy has traditional ice cream but, Frozen Matter has figured out the secret.

The mint chip was so so good. This is a walk up ice cream place in a cool part of town. They have a small section for seating, cute little glass huts. It's expensive, but the portions are huge and the flavors are really fun. I had the mint chip and it was amazing. Free water station too.

tried to come in at 4:10pm since they open at 4 and they were closed so I went home and called them around 4:15 the girl I spoke to was very rude and said they were open and it was clearly posted on the website then hung up on me. I then went back at 4:30 and they were still closed

Loved the Green Apple one! I loved it so much I didn't care about trying the other ones. I'm glad we stumbled upon this place.

The service was great! The staff was very knowledgeable and offered us samples. We tried multiple flavors but the vegan coffee, butterscotch and milk and cookies were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

Try the fall flavors before they are replaced, caramel apple, witches brew, and green chili. I hope they keep dirty chai forever, because I will never get bored of it. The staff is passionate and doesn't take tips.

I guess this place has two names but on Apple Maps it pops up as sweet action but the sign outside says frozen matter and the menu says both a little confusing BUTTT it was all worth it because the ice cream was extremely delicious. We had got the brownie points with whiskey ice cream and vanilla. I absolutely loved the ice cream didn't really care for the brownie that much. Very rich but much for me. Check it out nice safe area. Service was good.

Got lost because the name on Google maids is different but was totally worth the confusion. E we got the Stranahan whiskey ice cream which is made in Denver with the brownie. The brownie was rich in chocolate and was soft. Service was good and the location is in a great neighborhood we walked stoned while eating ice cream.

Came here on a whim & found a delicious gem! I sadly can't have dairy but they have a few amazing vegan flavors! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff was friendly. It seems like there are rotating flavors so I am looking forward to trying new flavors!

The flavors here are off the charts, the only downside is how expensive they are. They have fun and unique flavors and they do them each so well. Flavors that I didn't expect to like, I enjoyed. In one pint you're able to mix 3 flavors, which is great for someone indecisive as myself. In one scoop you're also able to split flavors - even better. I had a single split scoop of their caramel with dark chocolate dipped pretzel and that was INCREDIBLE - didn't think it would be my favorite but it was. The caramel icecream wasn't TOO sweet and the pretzels gave a good taste and texture. The mint chocolate chip had a good ratio of chocolate flakes and icecream goodness. As for the pint flavors i had: Peppermint: you know how things can be way too minty you feel like you're eating toothpaste? NOT THIS. they balanced creamy and minty with this flavor. Bread Pudding: this one was my least favorite flavor actually. it had chunks of bread with caramel swirled in. it was good but not to die for Spiced Rum: this tastes like the holidays in a cup. If you like those warm, gingerbread, nutmeg flavors you're going to fall in love with the spiced rum. Overall high quality icecream, but can't break the bank going here every week :(

The ice cream here is so good! Friendly staff and amazing unique flavors! I got the salted butterscotch, so buttery and yumm!

Pretty decent ice cream but the cost was just a little too much for me. Almost $7 for a single scoop is a little over the top. But the French chocolate ice cream was very tasty! The service was very friendly.

I love taking people this spot! Unique flavors, vegan options, a speakeasy in the back, and great service, all in one place! I was so excited to see soursop ice cream on my most recent visit and the guy up front was so much fun to chat with! Give this place a try if you're ever in the area and wanting a cold treat!

I was looking for a close, local ice cream place. The one I was going to try, is closed on Monday's. I looked on Yelp and came across Frozen Matter and decided to give it a try. There are a variety of unique flavors, which incuded vegan choices as well. The kind team member, allowed me to taste the ones that had really perked my interest. Even though, I had more, I decided to go with tasting only two. I chose the Mango Black Tea. It had bits of mango, but not the huge mango flavor I was anticipating. Neither the mango flavor or black tea stood out. However, what I did like was the color, consistency, and rich texture of the ice cream. Now, one scoop in a cup is pricey...$6 with tax. Therefore, a cool treat, on a hot summer day AND special occasion. The price is comparable for good quality ice cream and the Uptown area. Have to pay for both here.

The ice cream is DELICIOUS! I got the dirty chai and the maple pecan and they were both sooo good! My sister got the milk and cookies and she loved that too. Highly recommend checking out for the ice cream. It is on the pricier side, but worth it for a little treat! We do not recommend getting the brownie (at least the ones you buys separately). It was hard and crunchy (even after warming) and honestly not edible.

Zack was the best customer service I've received so far in Denver. Visiting from vegas. The Ice cream is fire too
