So good! We shared a sundae with salted caramel ice cream, topped with hot fudge, toffee, whip cream and cherries ?

Lovely people, cute place, you’ll love it.

This was our "Summer of the Chocolate Cherry Malt" and we savored a lot of them! From coast to coast and points in between, some were meh, a couple were downright bad, and a handful were fabulous.
But none compared to the malted "Black Forest" shake we enjoyed at Cafe Ridgway! It was crafted with luxury ingredients and the greatest care -- and it knocked our socks of. It was so amazing, in fact, that we went back the next night for seconds. And as we enjoyed the last sips of that magical malt, we realized our quest was complete, and we could happily wind down a successful "Summer of the Chocolate Cherry Malt".

Great visit to the Cafe Ridgway a La Mode! Stopped in to grab an ice cream and left with a huckleberry milkshake, which was great! It's wonderfully refreshing and indulgent without being overly heavy. This is definitely a must-try for anyone who appreciates a top-notch milkshake. Will definitely return when in the area again.

This is a lovely little ice cream shop with cute decor. The lady behind the counter is sweet and very friendly! We drove from ouray just to have a scoop of the yummy ice cream. The salted caramel and the huckleberry are delicious!

Walking around checking out the little town found this wonderful Mom/Pop ice cream shop.
Perfect!
Lots of selections of good ice cream, place was clean, staff friendly, nice sitting area outside, & they will let you have a sample of their products if you are unsure.

We had ice cream here today and loved it! I particularly wanted to give 5 stars to cancel out the weirdo reviews leaving low ratings. Some people just suck. The gentleman owner chatted it up with us and told us all about Ridgway and was super nice. We loved our ice cream too. I got to meet his dog later when walking by. Great small business, friendly service, and great ice cream! What more can you ask for?

I got the Coconut Ube ice cream and it was creamy and delicious! As a Filipino I was very suprised to see ube ice cream in a small mountain town, and to hear that it’s popular. Definitely worth a stop?

First I want to say the ice cream we had was okay. It's Blue Bunny brand which isn't a premium brand in my view. When I think Blue Bunny I think mass factory production. Again it's okay ice cream but Cafe Ridgway A La Mode is charging premium prices for a average fair product. So if you go there just don't expect small batch or premium ice cream.

Then there is the guy running the place. He really rubbed me the wrong way. He has in my opinion no business being in a customer facing position. He literally signed my credit card for me in front of my face and blew me OFF!!!! I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS CHARGED!

Then right in front of me be let small (under age 10) children serve themselves ice cream from the same case that my family was served from. No washing hands no food sanitization by the small children who we all know are just breading grounds for decease. That's not a judgement against the kids. That's just life. Kids pick up all kinds of things because their immune systems are developing. I was just appalled that the owner has so little regard to food safety. Again he should be working to fix his store and not serving customers. The woman who was working there was very nice and prepared a good milkshake for me. Was it the award winning shake of 2012? Heck no. I honestly felt like this creamery was from an episode of kitchen nightmares.

An owner who doesn't know when to back off and focus on what he needs to focus on and a co-owner or subordinate who isn't empowered to serve the customers. She really was a nice lady and I'm sure had she had the right ingredients for my milk shake it would have been that award winning shake that is talked about on the menu.

Last but not least I am sharing the picture of the A/c unit in the back of the store going full blast with the door open and out of view all of the windows open. This owner is literally throwing money out the window for reasons I can't understand. I'm giving this creamery 3 stars only because the lady who helped us was nice. 1 star taken for selling average (cheap Blue Bunny) ice cream. 1 star removed for credit card fraud (you DO NOT SIGN A CUSTOMER TRANSACTION. EVER!)

I truly feel sorry for that poor woman who works there. If the owner would simply step back and focus on providing better products and a better creamery experience (fixing the AC for example) and let that woman hiring a coulpe kids to run things in the front of the house I think this place would be 5 stars.
