Rocky Mountain Canary Store - Cripple Creek, Colorado

Frankie Wolfe

The BEST ice cream in town and anywhere I've had ice cream in a long time! Their chocolates are awesome too! I love all the little unique gifts and wide variety of t-shirts, sweatshirts and Cripple Creek merchandise, and I think the prices are very reasonable, especially for a tourist town! Great place to pick up a souvenir and get a sweet treat! Willow is the employee who always seems to be working when I go in, and she is a lovely, friendly, helpful person with anything that I'm shopping for (and we always wind up getting ice cream no matter what else we buy!). She scoops the best ice cream too--despite the freezer sometimes freezing up and making some flavors too hard to scoop. She tries very hard to please her customers (from what I've witnessed). It's a shame that tourists have encountered nasty people working there in the past, hopefully they've fired whoever those miserable people were! Take another chance, look for a beautiful, fashionable looking brunette named Willow and she'll take good care of you!

The sweets in this store are so very good. I love the little gems that can be found on the second floor and the trinkets on the first floor neat but the basement is full of super cool random things.
I would walk to get ice cream from them all the time when I was living there.
The only thing I ever had a problem with in the store was the accessablity. The aisles are narrow and people with mobility issues can't get to the second floor without help.

That said the wonderful Ladies who run the store are willing to move things around, bring you things and just in general help out.

I loved Willow! She almost got my brother and I arrested but that is because the town had ONE BATHROOM, so no hate to her. She was so sweet and chatty. Give the woman a raise!

Bought over $100 of merchandise person behind the counter Cound not have been less interested.
Most of the time she was chatting (slightly aggressively) with another staff member.
Because my card needed a signature I had to go around the counter to do this and it was plain this was an inconvenience.
Nice t-shirts but no service, which is unusual in the US.

The staff was above the board friendly! Store was clean! Nice lil nick nacks and souvenirs to wonder around looking at.
Definitely stop by, you won’t be disappointed!

After reading these reviews all of the 1 star reviews are very accurate. The employees there were so dang rude. One customer asked if they had a busy weekend with sales and said that he bet they made a lot of money. Two ladies both said we didn't, unless you're the owner. We got some ice cream for our kids and they asked my fiance to pick a different ice cream because the ice cream was too hard to scoop. One.of the ladies basically moved us out of the way when she was trying to talk to another male customer. Then at one point told my fiances mom that this was not a kid friendly town, which we understand, BUT don't be disrespectful about it. I wanted to buy quite a bit of items from the store BUT decided I was not giving any more money than we already had. I understand people hate their job, but dang don't be rude to the people that keep this little store in business.

Went in for ice cream, and the place smelled so overwhelming with cigarettes that it was really hard to breathe. We thought it was customers smoking until after we were ordering our ice cream, we saw the lit cigarette in the ashtray behind the counter. The older lady who served us never washed her hands before serving us. She was a very nice lady but we were just turned off by the whole cigarette situation.
