The Little Man Ice Cream Company has been scooping since 2008, when we opened our first shop in a 28-foot milk can in Denver’s burgeoning Lower Highland neighborhood. Our handcrafted ice cream is now available at eleven distinct locations along the Front Range and in a wide array of retail partners, including local restaurants, indie sweets shops, coffee shops, liquor stores, gas stations and movie theaters. Aside from our original location, our sister shops have expanded to include: Sweet Cooie’s in Congress Park, The Constellation based in Central Park, Little Man Ice Cream Factory in the Sloan’s Lake/West Colfax neighborhood, DANG Soft Serve in Park Hill, Old Town Churn in Fort Collins, and Little Man Ice Cream in Englewood, Littleton, Greenwood Village and Cherry Creek North. You can even have a sweet layover at Denver International Airport on Concourse C with our partners from Tastes on the Fly and the Innovative Retail Group!

At Little Man, we are guided by four key principles.

Community  Connections/Engaging Experiences: We believe ice cream isn’t just a sweet treat, it’s a great vehicle to build youth leadership and community. All of our shops serve as community hubs that help neighbors forge friendships and build memories through live and virtual events. Steeped in nostalgia and the sweet smell of homemade, our shops harken back to a time when visiting the neighborhood ice cream parlor was a time-honored tradition.

Inspired Design: The hallmark of our brand is the celebration of design features that pay homage to each neighborhood’s history. From the original 28′ milk can that put us on the map as a roadside attraction in Lower Highlands; to Constellation’s 75’ airplane wing situated on the site of Denver’s first International Airport in Central Park; to Sweet Cooie’s charming old-school ice cream parlour in the heart of Congress Park; to Old Town Churn’s 26’ wooden-churn bucket reflecting Fort Collins’ agricultural roots; to DANG’s modernity in a renovated Mid-Modern strip center in Park Hill; to The Factory’s reimagination of the West Colfax corridor; The company seeks to celebrate each neighborhood’s unique spirit.

Quality Products: Since our founding, we’ve focused on crafting chef-driven, homemade ice cream made from some of the finest, locally-sourced ingredients available. We offer vegan and gluten-free options to satisfy a variety of palates and dietary restrictions. We also make our own baked goods, homemade waffle cones and chocolate confectionery.

Social Accountability: We believe that any business has the ability and responsibility to make a positive difference in the communities in which it operates. Every one of our shops supports a local cause aimed at community concerns, assisting those in need through quiet philanthropy.
