Best Ice Cream in Denver · Denver, CO
Little Man Ice Cream is impossible to miss — a 28-foot, 14-ton cream can that has anchored Denver's LoHi neighborhood since 2008. Small-batch scoops come with nightly lines that wrap the plaza, live music, and a scoop-for-scoop program that donates a serving of food or aid to communities in need for every cone sold.
A Denver landmark and gathering place, Little Man is the 2026 Centurion Award winner for Best Ice Cream in Denver.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Little Man Ice Cream cleared the 2026 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
LoHi ice cream shop opened in 2008 inside a 28-foot cream can, a Denver gathering spot with nightly lines and a scoop-for-scoop giving program.
