Walrus Ice Cream Company Inc

Adorable ice cream shop. Obviously very popular because later that day after our visit there was a line down the block.
However…
As someone that is lactose intolerant there are very few options. I had to chose between two sorbets. What!!! No almond milk, coconut milk. something other than real milk… no other dairy free options? I ended up with plain old strawberry. I tried to jazz it up with walnuts and chocolate chips.
Something that I thought was really neat about this shop… they will mix in the ingredients before placing in a bowl or cone (kind of like Cold Stone Creamery).
The outdoor seating is great for people watching. Pull up a brightly colored adirondack chair and enjoy!
Ft. Collins is such a beautiful town. I will return! However I would like to walk into Walrus and have a few more dairy-​free options next time. *hint* *hint*
If this happens I would upgrade this review to five stars.

How fun and tasty! Got a scoop of chocolate stout in a small chocolate dipped cone. The ice cream has excellent taste and texture! And the entire inside of that cone was drenched in chocolate – YUMMY is the term of description. You gotta check this place out!

favorite place ever.
blue moon ice cream is my favvvv
make sure to say hello to «Charlie»

If you’re looking for local flavor, this is the place to go. My husband and I agreed that we’d never had creamier ice cream. It was packed on a Sunday night right before close, which gives you an idea of how popular it is, and I can see why. They handled my service dog Samson wonderfully, even though he caused kind of a stir with the kids there. (There was a lot of, «OOOHHHH, puppy!!»)
We tried the joke flavor (Got the Munchies?) and it was a very unique experience to be sure. I don’t want to spoil the surprise for anybody else, but let’s just say its not something I would want more than a mouthful of.
We had a wonderful time looking at the ‘Walruses through time’ murals and playing Giant Jenga in the back corner. The staff was friendly and fast. Don’t miss this place!

This place was one of my favorites when I use to live in Fort Collins for a few months! I love the variety of flavors as this was a great local place to enjoy your favorite frozen treat. I love the colorful chairs they have outside in front!

This is my second time coming here with my girlfriend. We went semi-​boring with a scoop of vanilla with cookie dough. It was delicious just like last time. The pricing is 64 cents/​ounce, so that total for a single and a double scoop was around $ 11.50. It was a Sunday night and very busy. The staff was friendly and time efficient. We will be coming back!

Great home made ice cream shop with lots of different unique and yummy flavors. My kids absolutely love this place. But I have to be honest I am scared to death to go to this place because it well know as one of the most haunted buildings in Fort Collins! Lots and lots of scary azz stories of employees seeing, hearing, feeling ghosts, spirits and all kinds of crazy scary stuff! I am kind if an old duffer and this place pretty much freaks me out! I was sitting down at a table eating ice cream once and I swear I saw a ghost siting next to me in the mirror!
If you are a tourist this is a place you must visit — an interesting and fun place so bring the family and check it out! Booya!

5 stars for the watermelon flavored ice cream and life sized Jenga!!! Who can say no to walruses? They are everywhere! This is a very unique ice cream shop including awesome flavors that vary from traditional vanilla to unique choices like chocolate orange. They can also add coffee and hot chocolate to any ice cream. My boyfriend got the cappuccino ice cream with espresso aka affogato and it was delicioussss. There are plenty of seating and I loved this place:)

Solid. Pleasant staff, nothing was disappointing. I’ve eaten better ice cream in my life but that’s more of a style preference than anything wrong with Walrus.
I really enjoy strawberry flavors, and the night we went they had normal Strawberry, Strawberry Marzipan, Strawberry Oreo, and Strawberry Sorbet, so that was pretty exciting.

I’m actually confused as to how this place has any sub-​par reviews. I’m not from Fort Collins, but my husband insisted we stop in during a recent trip. Walrus was a nostalgic spot for him and his claim to «the best ice cream in the whole world.» I wouldn’t say it takes the #1 spot for me, but I was definitely satisfied with my choice! I don’t think you can go wrong with a homemade ice cream, a zillion flavors, and mix-​ins to match.
Food: The ice cream flavor choices are insane. Try as many as you like before choosing! Not only do they offer hand-​scooped ice cream, but they also have a freezer case of frozen cakes and pies. I enjoyed the birthday cake ice cream, which my husband claims is too sweet, but for me – nothing is too sweet. My husband claims the vanilla with cookie dough is the perfect choice and the best ice cream he’s ever had in his life.
Drinks: n/​a
Atmosphere: Very simple inside seating with odd walrus décor throughout. They have a nice section to shop their merchandise.
Service: The ladies behind the counter offered samples and help when I asked questions, as I’d never been in before. They almost looked a little impatient at one point because I was taking so long to decide, but it was overall very nice service.

Decent customer service and the crew seems to work hard & quickly. I personally enjoy their creative flavors, and I’m gonna go apesh! t when they stop making the Blue Moon ice cream, its perfection.
— Also, they stopped making Blue Moon Ice Cream before I published this :(

Walrus to me is where one gets local, fresh ice cream in Fort Collins. The flavors are always changing and there’s plenty to choose from. They always have their staples like Swiss Chocolate, Butter Pecan, and others.
The lines are often lone but they move fast and service is good. You actually pay by the ounce here so basically you pay for what you eat. I prefer the chocolate dipped waffle cones as they actually dip the cone from the inside out. This means with every bite you get cone, chocolate, and ice cream.
The flavors are all great and they even have a mystery or joke flavor. Just ask for a sample. You may or may not be glad you asked :)
The shop is located off of Mountain Ave in Old Town and is a great place to hang out and or take your ice cream on the go as you enjoy Old Town.
This is a family friendly place and it’s a place I always take family and friends to from out of town. Give them try, you will not be disappointed.
My only recommendation would be to have Swiss Orange Chocolate permanently on the menu.

Every college town necessitates at least one local ice cream shop, to which families and conferences flock when they are in town. Whether after dinner or perhaps en route to or after a sporting event.
And that is the niche that Walrus Ice Cream has tapped into… for quite some time, I might add. They’ve been set up on Mountain for a while, and they are continually packing the line out the door in the summer seasons. Don’t know if they are quite as busy in the winter season; I don’t have any reason to be up there at that time of year.
Flavors including Guinness, whiskey, and birthday cake are unique winners that set this shop apart, but the mainstays are definitely what keeps people coming back… most «vanilla» American families would still frequent Walrus if only for chocolate and vanilla.
I’m just adding another review to this spot, which many people will come to simply because it has the most reviews and is the first to pop up when you enter any combination of the words «ice», «cream», «Fort», «Collins.»

While stumbling around Fort Collins after a full day of beer tasting we were trying to choose a casual place for dinner… and then this ice cream parlour caught my eye with its line out the door! (Yes, I will eat ice cream for dinner… what’s it to you?!) So we waited through the line, all while oogling the glass cases of ice cream, frozen desserts, and other treats. The flavors are middle of the road In my opinion. They were middle of the road enough that I opted for one of their ice cream pie peices instead of a cone. It was very rich, but good. Overall, I felt Walrus was a solid joint, but nothing that knocked my socks off. Cute atmosphere, but quite busy and loud.

I must be in the minority here, but I don’t understand the appeal of this place. It is neat that the ice cream is made in-​house, but that’s where it ends for me.
First off, I’m not a repeat customer, so the whole randomly placed, scribbled whiteboard menu thing doesn’t work well. Secondly, this place is dirty. If you take a good look around while you are waiting in line, it looks like it hasn’t seen a good deep cleaning for awhile. A LONG while.
Thirdly, customer service was just OK, not amazing, but not awful.
And Lastly, my poor 5 year old pulled a long blonde hair out of her ice cream.
‘Nuff said.
Won’t be back!

Lots of flavors and lot of different cones too. I remember this place being my favorite ice cream shop in Fort Collins. I got the piña colada in a cup. It was good, I tasted coconut and pineapple. But it did have a slight freezer taste to it. The staff was friendly and the line goes fast. I like how the charge by the ounce.
Plenty of tables inside if you don’t want to venture around Old Town.

Great Ice Cream, service occasionally lacking.
We really love visiting this Old Town staple and enjoy both their scooped ice cream and shakes and Sundaes.
I really wanted to rate them 5 stars based on the quality of the ice cream but I really struggle with the variability of the service. I understand having to wait when they are busy but there are times that I have visited when they are slow that the staff seem more interested in chatting with each other than serving customers (others have commented on this).
Don’t let occasional customer service flaws deter you from getting some delicious ice cream treats here.

Local ice cream in Old Town Fort Collins… How can one go wrong?
When I lived in Ft Collins I’d visit Walrus frequently with my friends and family. Specifically my dad and I would frequent it on our occasional ice cream endeavors together. So it only seemed natural to head back here again with my parents when I was in town visiting.
It is exactly what I remember. The décor is silly and cute. The unique flavors are fun to sample. The service was friendly. The sprinkles on the ice cream still make it over the top for me. And the chocolate flavors still always win for me. Reasonable prices, and a fun place to grab your ice cream and then walk around Old Town while you enjoy. Parking still sucks, but it is Old Town… Not a big surprise there. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Ft Collins.

The atmosphere here is carnival-​esque with the younger crowd chattering and laughing all around. Sometimes this laughter being prompted by the «joke flavor» which is typically a mix of unappetizing flavors.
When I visited, I had classic chocolate ice cream which was utterly delicious. Everyone working behind the counter was cheerful and welcoming, making my overall experience marvelous!

YUM!
Visited a friend in Ft. Collins and LOVED our experience here!
Delicious, delicious ice cream and very reasonable prices.
