Ice Cream Riot - Colfax

Just like the prodigal son, I’ve returned.

Well Denver, 12 unforgettable years together have come to an end. Now it’s time for this Jersey boy to head back to the East Coast to be with the people he loves most. The Mile High City will always hold a special place in my heart, but my soul is calling me home. Peace out, Denver!

Thank you for a real good time.

Tonight, we closed our doors for the last time. Thank you to everybody who came out over the past few days to say goodbye. Thank you to everybody who couldn’t stop by but sent messages and comments about how much they loved Ice Cream Riot. Thank you to everyone who has ever enjoyed my ice cream creations. Thank you all so incredibly much.

I also want to say thank you to this amazing woman. 9 years ago, Sarah was the first employee I ever hired. I was so lucky to have her then, and even luckier when she came back to Ice Cream Riot four years ago. She’s the best employee I’ve ever had, but more importantly, she’s one of the best friends I’ve ever had in my entire life. Sarah, I love you to the moon and back, and I’m beyond grateful for our friendship.

I can’t believe this is really goodbye, friends. Thank you all for 10 unforgettable years in my little ice cream shop on Colfax. I mean that from the bottom of my grateful Irish heart.

Nobody told me there’d be days like these. 

The store was known for its breakfast cereal-inspired ice creams, like Fruity Pebbles, along with Pop-Tarts ice cream sandwiches and of course, cannoli-stuffed ice creams.

Our final day will be this coming Tuesday, December 19th. I still can’t believe this 10 year chapter of my life is coming to an end. It doesn’t even feel real at times. To say I’m a mess of emotions right now would be quite the understatement. Gratitude. Sadness. Optimism. Pessimism. Uncertainty. It’s a little overwhelming at times. John Lennon once sang “nobody told me there’d be days like these”, and boy is that hitting home right now. Thanks again for all of your support over the last decade, friends. It means the world to me.

Well friends, I’m here to break the news that like Boyz II Men, we’ve come to the end of the road here at Ice Cream Riot. A few weeks from now we’ll be closing our doors for good. I opened my little ice cream shop on Colfax 10 years ago, and I’m so incredibly grateful for all the support that made it a success over the past decade. Most service industry businesses don’t make it past the first year or two, but because of all you amazing people, we made it 10 years. Hell, back when we first opened, I was in my 30’s and didn’t have all these grays in my beard! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for liking my ice cream and for keeping us in business all these years. I haven’t decided what the official last day will be, but you’ve got a few weeks left to enjoy what we have to offer because once December ends, we’re like Paulie from The Godfather. You won’t see us no more. Again, thanks for 10 unforgettable years, friends!

Yo Denver! It only took until the middle of July for Mother Nature to finally bless us with some real summer weather here in the Mile High. It’s almost 100° out there, so you should probably get your keister down to Colfax for some of our Philly Water Ice. This here is a combo of Blue Raspberry and Tiger’s Blood Water Ice. Tiger’s Blood is a mixture of strawberry, watermelon, and coconut. It’s off the chain!  stop by the shop for some, or check out our delivery menus on Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates, and Grubhub.

Yo Denver! Over 9 years ago we started making real Philly Water Ice on Colfax, and we’re still slingin’ that Philly flavor almost a decade later. Right now I’m rockin a Cherry/Mango combo on this gorgeous Saturday afternoon in the Mile High. Stop by and make your own combo. Or if you don’t feel like leaving the house, you can always have our water ice delivered to your front door through DoorDash, Uber Eats, Postmates, or Grubhub.
