Liks Ice Cream Parlor

Denver’s Best Kept Secrets

Liks Ice Cream Parlor

By: Amy Green

Liks is a very unique ice cream shop and a staple to Denver’s Capital hill neighborhood. This small little shop has been serving the Denver area since 1976. With a flavor selection of over 200 rotating kinds there is bound to be something everyone will like.

Unlike many other ice cream shops that have the same flavors for weeks at a time Liks changes their flavors on a daily basis, it gives the customers a sense of surprise when they walk in.  On a warm summer day the line for Liks ice cream can be a block long, but it well worth the wait.  Everything here is house made, from the waffle cones to the ice cream. No short cuts have been taken at all when it comes to good ice cream.

This little ice cream shop is located on the corner of 13^th and Vine Street right next to a local bar. There are only two tables to sit at inside but with a nice patio that wraps around the side of the building there is no need for a lot of seating inside.  While this establishment may not be the easiest to find since it is set in the middle of a neighborhood, during the summer you will have no problems.

With many different flavors to choose from the process of finding the perfect one can be time consuming, but don’t worry just ask the counter for a taste.  The Jack Daniels chocolate chip is my favorite, this rich chocolate ice cream is spiked with Jack Daniels and chocolate chips are then mixed in. If you would like to go on the fruitier side of things try the Banana chocolate chips, they start with their house made banana ice cream and load it up with chocolate chips.  Also, try one of their ice cream sundae’s, your choice of what kind of ice cream which is then topped with your choice of toppings and have them put it in a  waffle bowl, that just adds even more of the house made feel (Prices are unknown).

Take your friends and family and walk, run or drive to this unique Denver ice cream shop. There is more than just ice cream; it is place of fun, and enjoyment with good laughs with your favorite people.
