End of the Line — Local services in Georgetown

Went in to get milkshakes with three friends. We ordered two small milkshakes, cookies and cream and a chocolate. First we were told by the two girls working that they were out of small cups so they only had large shakes available. We asked if they could just put a small amount in the cups because we didn’t want larges. After discussing they agreed to do that. We had to wait quite a while to get it because there were a couple people waiting in front of us. The service was pretty slow, but that wasn’t really the issue. We were on a time crunch to get to the Georgetown Train but we patiently waited. We were finally handed our two milkshakes and one of them was pistachio, so they had to remake it. We left and drank them as we quickly ran to our car to make it on time to the train ride. The milkshakes….HORRIBLE! I have never had a milkshake I didn’t like, but these?? They were extremely watery. The cookies and cream milkshake tasted like straight up milk with some Oreos crumbled in it. The chocolate milkshake tasted 100% like slightly frozen crappy chocolate milk. I LOVE homemade, pure chocolate ice cream, but after trying both of those milkshakes, DO NOT recommend getting those flavors. Maybe their ice cream is good??? But the milkshakes were the absolute worst ones all four of us have ever tasted. If we weren’t in such a hurry to get back to our car, we would’ve marched right back and asked for a refund or something else because they literally went straight to the trash. They were expensive too which sucked to throw them away, but they were disgusting and so liquidy. We were visiting CO, but our friends were local. We decided that whenever we visit there again, or our friends go, we will definitely go...

I went in for an ice cream cone while waiting for the Prospector Bus to take me back to Dumont. My little buddy,Jr. my chihuahua was sitting on my walker like he always does in stores and no one said yeah or neh about it,good because I am 66 and was not in a mood to argue! I got a rocky road cone on a regular cone for $4.15,which lasted perfectly to when the bus came . It's Awesome homemade ice cream and everything else in the store will definitely put a smile on your face,including the excellent service by the staff! The only thing I didn't care for was the nuts in the rocky road we're slivered almonds and I was expecting walnuts just cuz that's the way Gramma would do it! Nice an cozy store, not one of the children in the store were crying or misbehavi ng, all had smiles ,because they were enjoying it as much as I was! It's a magical place ! If you go thru Georgetown don't...

We were up in the Georgetown/Idaho Springs area for the weekend. We were trying to waste time before dinner, so we started looking around the little shops. Ended up in here and saw they served coffee and tea. Ordered a couple of teas, and asked the guy working there for some suggestions on what to do to waste time. He told us to stop by Alpine Restaurant because they have some pool tables and arcade games, and also to go up Guanella Pass to Clear Lake. Neither of them disappointed! We decided to pop back in on our way home from our weekend getaway to get a couple more teas, hot chocolate, and an apple cider and to tel him thanks for his suggestions. My kids said their drinks were made with love....
