The overview

Scoops from a 28-foot cream can since 2008.

Little Man Ice Cream is impossible to miss — a 28-foot, 14-ton cream can that has anchored Denver's LoHi neighborhood since 2008. Small-batch scoops come with nightly lines that wrap the plaza, live music, and a scoop-for-scoop program that donates a serving of food or aid to communities in need for every cone sold.

A Denver landmark and gathering place, Little Man is the 2025 Centurion Award winner for Best Ice Cream in Denver.
