It’s Summer! Here’s Where You can Cool Off with Some Ice Cream in Arvada
Summer is BACK! And what is summer without ice cream? If you’re looking to beat the summer heat with a sweet little treat, then Arvada is your spot. We’ve got lots of great ice cream shops to keep you cool and snacked up.
Scrumptious
Scrumptious | 7523 Grandview Ave
Scrumptious makes its own ice cream in the store and there’s always a variety of amazing flavors from which to choose. Best of all? Scrumptious makes ice cream with as many natural ingredients as possible while also making the best-tasting ice cream you’ve ever had. If you don’t see your favorite flavor, simply ask! And you just might get a surprise on your next visit!
Heaven Creamery
Heaven Creamery | 7357 Grandview Ave
New to Arvada in 2025, Heaven Creamery features divine ice cream treats, but it also offers other yummy delights as well. Check out their “summer menu” for a few unique pairings like Mango Sticky Rice on Ice and more cool (pun intended) stuff. Also, any place with its own theme song is worth a visit!
La Dolce Vita
La Dolce Vita | 5756 Olde Wadsworth
A staple in the heart of Olde Town Arvada, this is THE spot if you happen to believe that ice cream is meant to be enjoyed with another sweet treat - kinda like fries with a burger. Ice cream isn’t the star of the show at LDV, but it for sure adds to the enjoyment of coffee drinks, desserts, and more. And, of course, you can always enjoy your ice cream on its own, too.
Power Cone
Power Cone | 8295 Ralston Road, Unit 103
When we think of ice cream, we probably don’t think of soft serve enough, and we really should. This delicious little spot, that opened in the newly renovated Ralston Road Shops in the spring of 2025, is devoted to making the ‘most excellent’ soft serve with local, organic, and fair trade ingredients. They also believe in giving back whenever they can. Stop by and try their soft serve, sundaes, floats and craft sodas.
Jeremiah’s
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice | Freedom Street Social (15177 Candelas Parkway)
The Italian Ice! The J-lati! The layer-ins! The allergen-free options! There are so many great tastes to be had at Jeremiah’s that you could have one every day this summer and never have the same thing twice. We would recommend something, but we’re not even through a quarter of the menu (the Sea Salted Caramel has our attention, though!)
