Ouray Ice House Coffee Shop/Ice Cream
Known For
Ice cream and coffee inside a historic ice house with serious character
Ouray Ice House Coffee Shop/Ice Cream occupies a vintage interior that suits the historic building's bones, making it one of the most photogenic stops in town whether you're there for the espresso or the soft-serve. It's a local favorite that manages to also be exactly what out-of-towners are looking for.
🕐Best time to visit: August afternoons after a canyon hike when you've earned it
Our Take
The Ice House Coffee Shop is one of those only-in-a-small-mountain-town combos where you can get a pour-over and an ice cream scoop under the same roof, and the vintage interior gives the whole thing a nostalgic, unhurried feel. The high rating from a meaningful number of visitors confirms the experience delivers, even if it's more charming pit stop than destination.
