Tin Cup Ice Cream & Desserts - Crested Butte, Colorado

Cute ice cream shop right off elk street. So many options, the usual “traditional” flavors and also some creative ones. We did the flight with strawberry, lemon chèvre, cinnamon cayenne honey, and sweet & salty almond. Strawberry was 4/10, meh. Almond was 6/10, good but not great. Lemon was 7/10…creamy and good flavor. Cinnamon cayenne honey 10/10…11/10! I was hesitant to get that flavor because I feel like “spicy” flavors are hard to accomplish. The balance of flavors was on point. It was sweet with a warm finish, not overly spicy. Complex flavor profile that was executed to perfection. Loved it.

Seriously trying to figure out if we can get this shipped lol by far the best homemade ice cream I’ve had in a very long time. Easy on the tummy. Highly recommend the blueberry bergamot and honey lavender!

This place rocks! We stopped by at least 3 times during our short stay in Crested Butte. The sandwiches were all so good but make sure to get there for lunch as they only have a few leftovers during the evenings. It’s worth it to get them fresh for sure. (Roasted turkey was our favorite!) the ice cream was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful! The patio is dog friendly and first come first serve. We’ll definitely return!

Such a disappointment. The fun-looking shakes were a vacation splurge ($15!!!) and I regret it. First, they were out of ice cream flavors for several of the shakes (including vanilla!). The shakes were watery and just okay tasting. The worst part: they made us sick. So sick. Definitely never going back here.

Worth waffle I’ve ever had. Though my friend enjoyed his boozy milkshake.

-2 points for employing children. 3 apathetic children roughly 10-16 behind the counter
-1 for giving me an undercooked wake covered in burnt black flakes from previous waffles. Oh and it completely broke apart in the waffle maker but was still served
-1 for having store bought whipped cream
-1 for having too many weird flavors and the one I tried was really mild in flavor

While on the way to Crested Butte, we had to stop for breakfast. Google suggested the restaurant and we are so happy it did. Super cozy set up with the best customer service! The waffles were to die for and so was their tomato bisque! We will definitely return!!

Great small ice cream place. Portions are good sized and ice cream prices are definitely a good value. The ice cream (sorbet, actually) I had wasn't too sweet and had plenty of fruit bits in it. I'd say it tastes like homemade ice cream as advertised, especially with the lower sweetness. Indoor seating was good, but I have to deduct a star for the frankly dilapidated outdoor seating. The paint is chipped on all of the outdoor furniture, and they don't appear to be tended to for cleanliness.

I love this Honey Lavender ice cream. Great job to whoever thought about this combination. The honey comb bites in it is just giving nice texture. Amazing!
