High Point Creamery

Yes, I know it is supposed to start snowing any moment. but I’d be remiss, as you would be too…

Wow! High Point Creamery is without a doubt, one of the best ice cream places I have ever been to! My family had been raving about it for a while and High Point definitely lived up to all the hype.
I shared a flight of ice cream with my sister and brother in law and it was the perfect way to try a bunch of flavors. It was really hard to decide on 5 choices since all the flavors were so divine. Luckily, the employees were so kind and patient letting us sample as many flavors as we wanted. My favorite was the salty dog which was like a chocolate flavor. We chose to get caramel for the dipping sauce which was definitely the right choice. I also loved how they stick chunks of waffle cone in a few of the cups to add a bit of crunch! To top it all off, the presentation is just so darn cute!
I would definitely re-​visit High Point Creamery time and time again and getting a flight is definitely the way to go!!!

We had to check this out after I saw it on Food Network’s Unique Sweets. I had two giant scoops for $ 4. One was Coconut Macaroon, absolutely out of this world. The other was Chai Tea Gingerbread with soft, delicious Gingerbread throughout. You can’t go wrong here for the amazing price.

Awesome and friendly workers, greeted with a smile right off the bat, and the flavors are awesome and different from the norm. Yes I will come back and bring friends and suggest it to others!

We were in the neighbourhood on a Saturday night and decided to pop in for a little ice cream. This ice cream place is set up like your usual ice cream shop. They let you get a little taste of ice cream before you commit to a flavor, which helps if you can’t decide. I liked the variety in their flavors, they had their typical chocolates, caramels, fruity flavors, anything that you might desire. My personal favorite was their earl grey short bread ice cream, seriously if you like earl grey tea then you’ll love the ice cream.
Price wise it’s in line with your standard ice cream prices, and if you are a real ice cream die hard you can get an ice cream flight for $ 9. The servers were very friendly and let us pester them with ice cream questions and samplings. I would love to come here again and I wish there was one of these back home!

Divine! What can I say, this place has it all. The ice cream churning out of this joint is smooth, creamy, tasty and has flavors for the kids as well as flavors for adventurous adults!
I had a scoop of the basil blackberry and a scoop of the earl grey shortbread. The basil initially knocks you in the face, but it pairs so well with the tartness of the blackberry and sweetness of the ice cream. The earl grey shortbread was amazing, decadent and perfect with the bits of shortbread mixed throughout the ice cream.
My husband got a scoop of the bananas with honey which was good as well as a scoop of Corvus coffee. It reminded me of drinking a cup of the backcountry at Corvus which is never a bad thing.
Check this place out. The employees are knowledgable and friendly and the shop is clean and quaint.

YESYES YES YEEEES!!! I’m a huge sucker for artisan ice cream and this place more then met my expectations. Everything here is made in small batch and on location. All the flavors are really strong and excellent– the mint is made with real mint leaves, same with the peppermint. They had a pumpkin pie ice cream where they made actual pumpkin pie and then mixed it into the ice cream. Seriously. This place is good in the way that you are worried about the weight you are going to gain from the frequency you want to eat it. I got the salter dark chocolate and the honey banana which worked really well together.
The price was a little high but honestly it so worth it and its nice to support a place that puts so much into their craft.

Salty dog chocolate is my absolute favorite!!! It’s slightly salty, but sweet, creamy and the chocolate is amazing. I been here a few times and although they have a great selection of flavors to choose from, I always end up with the salty dog in a waffle cone. High point also offers ice cream flights if you are unsure between two or more flavors. This is great for you and your friends or just yourself; don’t let people judge you, they don’t know you =P. Love my experience here and the staff are always friendly and super patient with customers sampling flavors.

It’s a snowy Friday night when my hubby and I run in, it’s never too cold for ice cream.
I look up at the board and couldn’t see what I was looking for, as is seen in so many reviews, so I asked if they did ice cream flights. The girl said yes and pointed to a poster in the corner behind us and that was it, no «you get 5 flavours and a sauce» it’s just assumed that everyone knows I guess.
We tasted a few and decided to share a flight. The 5 scoops are about kids size and we’d just had dinner, no way we’d eat 1 each. Tried but not sold — coconut ginger, great if you REALLY like ginger & another one that I can’t remember the name of but was nice too. I think it had fig in it. They have a few crazy flavours as well as the normals.
We ended up with coffee, salted caramel, Mrs M’s cherry coconut, butter pecan and pumpkin pie. The coffee, pumpkin pie & cherry coconut were great. Apparently they use baked pumpkin pies in the ice cream. My hubby liked the salted caramel but for me it tasted like nothing. I tried it at the table and said «what’s that one?». I think it goes without saying that that line should never be said in an ice cream shop. The butter pecan was nice, heaps of pecans. We were only offered 1 piece of waffle in the flight which took me a bit by surprise because most of the pics I’ve seen have 2 so I thought that was standard.
Most of the ice creams were pretty melted by the time we sat down which was odd because she scooped them all at the same time. The so called salted caramel was really melty but the pumpkin pie was fine for ages. Weird.
The caramel sauce had wasn’t right, it still tasted alright, really sweet but the wrong colour and it had little specks in it, like it was slightly burnt but it wasn’t.
For about $ 10 it wasn’t too bad but for the quality I would make a special trip there.

I tried this place today, and it was fine, but it isn’t going to replace Bonnie Brae, Cold Stone, Sweet Cow, or Liks in my affections. The flavors are creative, but are they delicious? I wouldn’t order either of the flavors I tried today again. I probably wouldn’t go back. There’s more delicious ice cream to be had in Denver.

This place is right by my house and gets excellent reviews so I had to go here again and see if I was wrong the first time. I was craving a milkshake which is my absolute favorite guilty pleasure. I took the recommendation of the employee there which was the dark chocolate and decided to go with that. At $ 6.25 I expected the best milkshake of my life. It was served to me in a medium sized cup and no whipped cream? I thought that was strange for a premium shake so I requested it and she obliged. It was average. Nothing got me excited or separated it from Carl’s Jr.
If you really want a bomb shake go next door at Park Burger and get an amazing hamburger with a top quality milkshake that matches the price you pay.
Sorry but this place just isn’t on the same level as some of the other places in town.

I love so many things about High Point Creamery! The location is hip, the staff is so inviting/​helpful, the ingredients are fresh… but I just don’t think the ice cream tastes good. So unfortunately, it wouldn’t be a place I’d regularly stop by. My boyfriend and I sampled a few flavors. They recommended their unique/​popular flavors: Basil with blackberry and Cilantro with orange marmalade. Not our cup of tea.
We went on to do the flight of 5 flavors. Thought we’d give the basil another chance, along with the shortbread, peach (with whiskey), pecan and good ol’ cookies and cream, plus the caramel drizzle. Everything just didn’t taste that good, even the caramel which we ended up not even using. Perhaps we are not adventurous enough, but in the end, we agreed that the cookies and cream was still our favorite. I’d be happy to come back again for that flavor! But will have to pass on these new up-​and-​coming concoctions.

NEW FLAVORS!
The pumpkin pie and banana & honey are very tasty!
The pumpkin pie was spicy and not-​too-​sweet! I thoroughly enjoyed this flavor and the graham cracker bits that were in it! SO good!
The banana & honey is on the sweeter side, BUT it tastes really good with fudge (if you get the ice cream flight).
My go-​to flavor is Earl Grey with Shortbread Cookies, but that Pumpkin Pie is definitely up there. My sister really liked the banana & honey with fudge, though.
My friends and I debated on getting a kiddie scoop-​person ($ 2.95), but found it to be cheaper to get the ice cream flight (5 scoops) for $ 9. Post-​grad life, you know?
The service here is great — the person serving us was very sweet! Be sure to leave a tip for them! They work hard to scoop you your ice cream!
Now, get out, get some ice cream, and smile.

Awesome ice cream! I was really surprised and impressed with their variety of interesting flavors.
The employee was super nice and patient, letting me try a lot of the flavors. Cinnamon, sugar and honey tastes just like a crêpe. Salty Dog chocolate, Rosemary Apricot, and Coconut Chocolate were all great.
I really enjoys sitting on the outdoor patio overlooking Holly Street. It’s a covered patio, so even when it’s raining outside you can still sit outside.
It’s right next to Park Burger, so the perfect place to go to after dinner.

So I came here way back in November and remember the experience being Ok but nothing special. My last two visits have made up for that ten fold. First trip must have been a fluke.
So one trip I got the basil blackberry swirl and the coconut ginger. Wow, super different. I usually don’t care for basil, but wanted to try it since it was very different sounding, and I’m now a basil in ice cream fan. The coconut ginger is really cool to. Tasted a bit like a curry base without all the spices. It was very exotic and packed a bit of a punch.
Next time I got the basil blackberry again because I just loved it so much! I also got the banana honey, which tasted like a delightful frozen banana. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what new flavors they will come up with.

As a Bay Area native that has been spoiled by all of these boutique small-​batch ice cream shops, I had to see what all the hype was about.
…and the hype is 100% real. This place offers a number of unique flavors that pack a punch, and the absolute best part about it is the ice cream flight they offer. 5 small scoops of ice cream, each in it’s own little cup, along with a cup of hot fudge or caramel. This is an absolutely brilliant idea, and I’m going to beg and plead with all of the ice cream shops back in the bay to introduce ice cream flights as well, because I’ll never again be satisfied with being offered just two scoops of ice cream. It’s a testament to the variety they offer that I had to come here twice during my 3 days in Denver just to make sure that I didn’t miss out on any exciting flavors (and 2 ice cream flights in, I still did).
Bottomline: Thank god they deliver to California.
My personal favorites:
— Basil with blackberry
— Cilantro with orange marmalade
— Mint chocolate bark
— Queen bee & the sunshine seeds
— Lemon popsicle with raspberry
— Tin cup whiskey with pistachio brittle
— Rosemary with apricot chutney

Earl Grey tea with shortbread cookies, in ice cream form. A brilliant idea and a great combination of my two food loves: tea and ice cream!
Texture, flavor, and local ingredients are the essentials of the ice cream here and it shows in how distinctive each flavor is. The flavors that I’ve tried have their own unique character with a nice creamy finish. I really enjoy how dense the ice cream is, without being too airy, so that I really get a full taste of everything from each bite. Texture from bits of chocolate, pecan, or the respective fillings mixed in keeps it interesting as well. They even offer an ice cream flight for $ 9, in which you pick 5 different flavors and a sauce, which is a great way to try out all of the flavors that catch your eye!
My personal favorites so far (other than the Earl Grey), are Basil with Blackberry Swirl, Chamomile Flower with Strawberry Glass, and Cookies & Cream. I love the house-​made chocolate sauce that isn’t overly sweet.
The ice cream is made fresh daily, which gives a perfect reason to stop by frequently, especially on a hot summer day.

I discovered this place while watching some episode on some cooking/​food TV show about 2 weeks ago. What caught my eye was this place not only made their own ice cream flavors, but also offered ice cream FLIGHTS! Yes, flights people! The term you used to only associate w/​beer drinking has crossed over to our favorite dessert… ICE CREAM!!! So, knowing I’d be in town on an upcoming business trip, I made a point to make my way to this cute little establishment.
This cute little shop is located in a small little residential neighborhood. According to the girl behind the counter who helped me, they’ve been there for almost a year now, altho most people I spoke to about this place had never heard of it, including my Über driver who supposedly shops at the little «farmer’s market» across the street. As you walk up, you see its location is sandwiched between a burger joint & some other eatery. The vibe is kind’a trendy & it seems like an up-&-coming type of place. The outdoor seating is nice, w/​a bar-​type stool seating along the sidewalk facing the street, where I saw people enjoying their cones & desserts while watching passer-​byers.
When you walk in, you immediately notice the charm from the nicely decorated chalkboard menu & cleanliness they keep. Next, you walk to the case to see the selections…& what a selection! They had a few classics, but that’s not what you come here for. You come for the unique flavor creations such as Coconut Ginger, Basil with Blackberry, or Blueberry Lemon. What’s especially awesome about this place is they let you sample as many flavors as you like before choosing! How awesome is that!!!
So, after sampling a few more than a handful of flavors, I chose my 5 flight flavors: Salt Dog Chocolate, Corvus Coffee, Mint Chocolate Bark, Chamomile Flower w/​Strawberry Glass & Earl Grey w/​Shortbread, with the last actually being my favorite one. Each $ 9 flight comes with your choice of hot fudge or caramel dipping sauce. I went w/​the caramel, cuz I didn’t want the hot fudge to overpower any of my flavors. Boy am I glad I chose caramel. Once I indulged in each of the wonderful flavors, I decided to try some in the sauce & was pleasantly surprised by a crispy textured something in it. I couldn’t place it so I had to ask. Apparently it was crème brûlée mixed in… SOOO AMAZING! I can’t tell you how great that made it all!
This place was definitely one highlight of what otherwise would’ve been known as just an ordinary business trip. With summer just around the corner, this place surely will not disappoint when that cool-​treat craving arises. So if you haven’t checked this place out yet, then what are you waiting for???

Any place that offers a flight of ice cream definitely has my attention! Unfortunately, High Point has some things to work on but it was still an enjoyable experience. We came here thanks to Groupon for a flight plus a $ 10 gift card but made the mistake of coming on a Saturday night after dinner. The timing gods were on our side because we got there right before the rush and by rush I mean everyone and their families in an out-​the-​door kind of line. The girl who helped us was really sweet and patient but they definitely needed another person scooping or working the register.
The ice cream was good but nothing mind blowing (and let’s be honest, ice cream should make us happy!) The most memorable one was the Basil with Blackberry, it was fresh, light and tasted like summer! We got the chocolate coconut, mint, earl grey and chocolate as well but they were pretty bland for their said flavors. After we finished, it was difficult to wiggle back in the shop to put our bowls in, those suburbanites got feisty! I would definitely stop by during the week or afternoon when there’s not a lot of food traffic.

BASIL WITH BLACKBERRY! Order that and you can thank me later.
We visited with a Livingsocial deal for the flight and a $ 10 gc for a return visit.
Darkest chocolate– rich, creamy, and extremely chocolatey. This would make an awesome shake!
Earl gray with shortbread– the shortbread is very good! It’s crumbly and buttery. The earl gray flavor could be stronger.
Basil with blackberry– love, love, LOVE! The basil flavor is strong but not overpowering. Lightly sweet, fresh, and just amazing.
Corvus coffee– strong. We got a shake on our second visit and it was really good and decadent.
Tag mostarda– I think this is some type of fruit… it was good! Whatever it is, I got it on my second visit along with the basil and blackberry.
I came here to enjoy a Corvus Coffee shake and my beloved Basil with Blackberry and Tag Mostarda before my flight home. I was really, really sad. I’m so tempted to get some Basil with Blackberry shipped to me but I’m pretty sure my husband will give me the evil eye. I’m already planning my next visit back to Denver because of this amazing ice cream shop!
