Finally gave this place a try. Best in denver! Had the pineapple pistachio and triple chocolate…2 scoops was not enough. I will be coming here often from now on. The long line is worth it.

My favorite ice cream place in Denver! I grew up going up to this ice cream store and still remember the taste of their peppermint ice cream. My brother always got TRIPLE DEATH CHOCOLATE. A friendly neighborhood ice cream store, the perfect place to hang out on a beautiful Denver night.

This is your classic home made icecream place! In the summer the line is long but the workers move quickly and have a great attitude. The BBIC experience includes sampling, chatting with workers, and having hte best icecream of your life. It’s been around forever and its really fun hearing the grandparents that come in who went there as kids. Must go!

This shop is very nostalgic for me. My grandmother used to take my brother and me here when we were kids. Since I moved back to Denver I’ve been looking for it to take my husband and step kids to. Their standards are rather high from frequenting some pretty delicious ice cream joints, which impacted their impression of Bonnie Brae. I wasn’t able to order anything sweet as I had a serious weight loss deadline to meet, but they serve coffee, so I was still able to try something.
From what the boys said, the ice cream here is still good, just not their favorite. That said, the line was still out the door, so not a loss by any means. Someday, when I’m not dieting I’ll be back to update the review.

its Denver icon and this makes this place even better. when you wait in long line to get your ice cream, why does it taste better?
summer is usually super crowded but great place to grab a scoop and watch the cars pass by while licking away. winter. no wait. hardly no wait. you can still sit inside and enjoy the decadent flavors.
staffed with friendly high school/​college kids and always have endless flavors to tickle your taste buds.

I have been to this ice cream speciality store many times. I like the quality, variety, and quantity of the ice creams. The only downside is the rush at this shop and the smallness of the store. They need to expand if possible. The staff is efficient, and friendly all pointing to an eagerness to serve.
I do wish they used stevia or other non sugar sweetness but not maltidol or corn syrup sweetners to support the diabetic community. I ask this wonderful ice cream to make their products diabetic safe.
I and other diabetics would be willing to pay a quarter or two to offset the higher cost of making diabetic safe ice creams. Europe is more friendly to diabetics. America is not. America must remember in the next decade or so more than ½ of the population will be diabetic or on the verge of being diabetic. So it would behoove places that placate the sweet tooth in most of us to be the first in finding viable safe non sugar sweetners.

Pretty good ice cream if you’re looking to drive a bit out from downtown. Decent selection in flavors, decent price, nice staff, super cute retro décor.
Overall, definitely a place to go with family or friends. Fun stop on a summer evening. But I wouldn’t say it lives up to all the hype.

Great ice cream! Try to come at a time when it isn’t crazy busy. We got here and then there was a line out the door and a camera crew. When you are doing it right like these guys are you are bound to draw large crowds!

This is one of those places that I’ve been going to for years and never thought to review it. We came in for dessert last Saturday night after wings. There was quite the line but the staff did a great job of keeping it moving.
Bonnie Brae has always offered excellent and original flavors and consequently I rarely have had the same thing twice. The staff has always been nice, and it’s located in a great little neighborhood. It’s been a while since I’ve come here but I think I may start checking it out more regularly.

I never knew what a 10 was for ice cream until I went here. This is the absolute best ice cream in town. So delicious. They are a decent drive for me so I do not get here as often as I like. Right by my house I have High Point Creamery by my house but that just is not worth it. Pretty average ice cream over there. Bonnie Brae Ice Cream has the best flavors. Malted Milk Ball, Butter Pecan, Cookies and Cream, Reese’s, etc. Everything gets a 10!!!
Go here. You will not regret it. I cannot say anything but how amazing this is. They always have long lines but are fast and the service is GREAT!

Friendly staff and not too busy, but that was probably because I went at 6pm on a Tuesday.
I tried the chia tea which was good, but ended up getting the cappuccino crunch which was a great choice. The cappuccino by itself wasn’t «coffee» enough for me, but the combination of the chocolate covered toffee bits made this one great. Creamy too!

Have driven past this place on numerous occasions and finally decided to get in line. Very long line went decently fast. Had the English Toffee and Black Raspberry Marble. Both were delicious and service was quick and efficient. Will definitely be back.

The line on Saturday night seemed long, but moved surprisingly quickly. Maybe it went by faster because I was so preoccupied about what flavors to choose. My sister and I sampled a bunch of flavors, which the worker was very nice about. He gave us huge sample bites.
Amongst four in our family, we had the Butter Pecan, Coconut, Blueberry, NY cheesecake, and Cappuccino Crunch. All on their house-​made, delicious waffle cones of course.
My favorite was the Blueberry & NY cheesecake combo. The pairing of the two was a truly inspired choice on my sister’s part. The two flavors went together like Netflix and junk food, cheese and corn, a minion and an evil master. Coconut also gets honorary mention. Creamy licks + chewy coconut shreds = win. The servings are big, so we had a hard time finishing our cones. We resorted to sharing some with our dog, who is an ice-​cream connoisseur.
My dog concludes: 10/​10, would recommend!

We just happened to be staying nearby and looked on Unilocal for ice cream places. Little did we know we happened upon a local favorite.
It was a Sunday evening around 9 p.m. and there was a line out the door and down the street a little ways. Even with the line that long we managed to get our ice cream in about 20 minutes.
Our family ordered butter brickle, raspberry cheesecake, and mint chocolate chip.
Butter brickle — holy crap! It was so rich and delicious. I’m not sure I could order anything else.
My wife said the raspberry cheesecake was really really good.
My boys both had the mint chocolate chip. I may have had a taste and I agree with them that it was great. Huge chunks of chocolate and really good minty flavor.
All in all we really enjoyed the ice cream. There was a jazz duo playing out front which added to the ambience. I’d definitely go back anytime I’m in Denver!

This is easily one of my favorite places to get ice cream in Denver and it is well worth the wait!
The Ice Cream — the flavors can be a little crazy sometimes but they are made on site with all the best ingredients. I had the puppy chow (yes I know sounds super weird) tonight and it was delicious. It was a combination of chex, peanut butter, chocolate and vanilla — just like the chex mix named puppy chow.
The line — it is usually out the door; however it is worth the wait! In addition, it usually moves very quickly! The people behind the counter are friendly and efficient — always patient as people taste the different flavors. You can always count on a smile and happy attitude which is so refreshing!
This place is great and I can’t wait to be back the next time that I am craving something sweet!

My boyfriend would be enraged if he knew I gave this place only 3 stars. This is his favorite favorite favorite ice cream joint lol. But I thought it was just okay. I tried his sticky fingers and my cookies and cream and both were pretty mediocre. I didn’t notice anything special. The waffle cone was SO thick and crunchy. I had such a hard time chewing through them.
I told him that I’d take him to Little Man and his favorite ice cream place will change from then on haha. The salted cookies and cream from Little Man ice cream is to DIE FOR. :)
It was drizzling a little today, and it was nice being able to sit outside on the bench. eating ice cream and watching the rain :)

I’m a big ice cream aficionado and I try my best to squeeze in ice cream every time I travel.
Ambiance: This place has such a great old-​fashioned feel. It has such a mom and pop feel to it, a great place to entertain the family or a group of friends.
Ice Cream: I’m a simple girl. I tend to order strawberry or vanilla wherever I go, not a big chocolatier. I had two scoops of both flavors and enjoyed it. Neither were too rich or too creamy, but I like creamy and rich ice cream, so I’m going to say it was average in taste. I liked their sugar cone, it’s made in-​house, so you know it’s fresh.
Parking: We circled the block several times to get an spot, not a lot of available spots around dinner time.
Service: Fast, friendly and helpful!
Overall: I think the ambiance was my favorite part of the experience, ice cream was average, but maybe I should’ve tried more of their unique flavors. I would come back the next time I’m in town.

Great ice cream! A local favorite for many years. Bonnie Brae was here making their homemade flavors long before the rest of Denver discovered cheap ice cream base at the local dairy factories and before the gourmet craze of ice cream began. They have been serving families for many many years. Pioneers!
Flavors are diverse, with a good selection of cones and cups. On our recent trip our party tried Death by Chocolate, Black Forest (dark chocolate with almonds), and mint chocolate chip. Everyone was happy and no one spoke for a good 10 minutes while we ate our ice cream in August heat on the cute little patio just outside.
Parking is difficult but if you drive around the block, you should be able to find something. Be patient! It’s worth it!
