Definitely on my top 10 list of best ice cream places I've been to!
I love Bonnie Brae: it has that old school ice cream parlor feel but updated and fun flavors. I couldn't resist a brownie sundae, and they do a good one here. The brownie itself is solid, and they have a good fudge.
For flavors, the cookie dough and funfetti cookie dough are winners in my book: the key is that they make their own cookie dough, which makes a huge difference. I also loved their Oreos & Cream: probably some of the best C&C ice cream I've had because they use HUGE chunks of Oreos. The only flavor that was not good at all was the Triple Chocolate Death (shocking! It just had a weird aftertaste).
Service was friendly and fast, and be aware that they do have a long line-even on a Thursday night! But it moved quickly and is so worth it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 19, 2024
If you're looking for a classic ice cream parlor experience, Bonnie Brae is the place! This iconic Denver spot not only has great homemade ice cream, but will give you a nostalgic feeling.
Two of us split a double sundae which was plenty to share. We opted for classic vanilla scoops, but there were a variety of flavors I will be back to try!
This is an order at the counter type of place, and the sundaes are not served in glass bowls. Nonetheless, you'll have a fun experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2024
I find a way back here over and over again! This is my favorite ice cream spot in Denver! The flavors are always changing and I always forget about some until they make a reappearance on the menu. But it's nice to always have a wide selection. Butter brickle is my favorite flavor! They have puppy ice cream sandwiches too (which my dog loves).
It tastes like homemade ice creamery ice cream which is what you want.
It's a chill old school vibe and aesthetic to the shop. A lot of people take their ice cream and sit outside on the benches or tables when the weather is nice.
Mentally prepare for a long line in the summer months. It goes pretty quick for the length of line.
Major key, get a quart or pint to go once you have your favorite flavor. It's more cost effective than multiple trips.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rachael P.Denver, CO31113Apr 27, 2024
Don't let the long lines dissuade you... these folks are CRANKING out ice cream, and the line moves fast. Our absolute favorite in the winter time is Peppermint- get it while it lasts! A million other flavors, always something interesting or that you've never tried. Vegan and dairy-free options... and a fun sidewalk setting to people watch.

Bonnie Brae is a Denver staple and their ice cream is to die for! They always have a wide selection of homemade flavors that range from classic to wacky. They also serve shakes, malts, and floats. The prices are reasonable and even though it's consistently packed in there the employees always get you through the line quickly. It's a no-frills, classic ice cream parlor. Any time I go here it's such a delight!

I might even come back in the winter!!!!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jim C.Pueblo West, CO036Apr 23, 2024
Worth the wait in line. Ice cream is great! Staff is very friendly! Waffle cones were way too hard to enjoy, our group of 5 all threw them in the trash along with the 2$ add on for the cone.
