I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
We’ve all heard the familiar childhood rhyme. There’s something wildly nostalgic about ice cream, especially as a vacation tradition. Reuniting and re-connecting with loved ones over a few scoops of the sweet stuff is the perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening in Telluride.
However, there’s definitely a difference between good ice cream and great ice cream. Good ice cream is fine for a night in, but great ice cream is well worth the splurge and a visit to a local dessert shop. Choosing your flavor, toppings, and dessert vessel is part of the experience!
If you’re ready to satisfy your sweet tooth, check out these Telluride sweet shops that serve up the best ice cream in town:

If you’re seeking the richest, most decadent ice cream in Telluride, look no further than Telluride Truffle.
