Right Cream — Restaurant in Denver

I've been meaning to write a review for a while now, but with some folks (I am assuming Boomers who don't understand the whole Instagram side of RC and think this is a scoop shop) sprinkling in a less than 5 star review, I felt it necessary to do my part in defending what I tell my friends, loved ones, strangers in the checkout line or TSA line as literally the greatest ice cream (experience) one could consume.

In a year with so much turmoil and uncertainty, one of the best parts of the pandemic has been chefs turning to social media to sling their insanely dank offerings. Food that is made with actual love and high quality ingredients, by people who are genuinely excited to share their creations with others. I was late to the Right Cream party, but you better believe it surpassed the hype and I put on my dancin shoes. Folks, this may be the budding of world peace, one pint at a time.

I love the ordering process, the limited hours, limited batches, pop-up surprises, random scoops on random days. This is how a small business operation should run: on their terms. Don't like it? There's dozens of scoop shops and grocery stores to get your specified fix. Either way, you're supporting that American Free Market Capitalism, baby.

Want to experience something refreshingly different from start to finish? “Well, look no further fella, you found [it]"

Edit and update 2024:

Review still stands. 5/5 love the scoops, love the pints, love the almost too salty caramel almost too much; even the burgers they’ve been smashing out have been bomb....

If you’d told me last year I’d be obsessed with an ice cream called He’s My Sweet Cheese, I’d have assumed something in my brain snapped. Sweet cream ice cream with Cheez-It streusel and caramel that tastes like it got lost on its way to a pretzel? Sounds illegal. Tastes unreal. I hate Cheez-Its. I think they usually taste like salty drywall. But this combo? Fire. No notes. I’ve ordered it three times in two weeks and honestly I’d do it again before I finish writing this sentence.

Now let’s talk vanilla. Normally vanilla is boring. It’s what you order when you gave up on joy. But Right Cream’s vanilla is different. It’s rich, creamy, and tastes like it has generational wealth. Like it owns land in Napa and studied abroad in Paris. It somehow stays scoopable no matter how long it’s in the freezer. No chiseling required. Just soft, cold perfection straight from the container. I’d wear it as cologne if that was socially acceptable.

And the smash burgers? Don’t even get me started. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, freakishly perfect. If they don’t win Denver’s best burger in 2025 and 2026, the system’s broken and I want names. These burgers deserve awards, parades, maybe a Netflix docuseries.

Right Cream isn’t normal. It’s chaotic brilliance. The flavors shouldn’t work, but they do, and they do it better than anyone else. Go now. Bring a friend. Bring a cooler. Bring a will to resist but know...

Inconsistent products and terrible customer service. Recently purchased Right Cream pints from their new retail partner, Mr. B's. For $14 a piece. Pints were nothing like what I've come to expect from my previous purchases over Instagram. Zero 'filling and zero 'topping'...just plain old ice cream. Big rip off for the money. I let Right Cream know about this experience via IG and, while acknowledging the issue, they were totally unapologetic in their response and made no offer to make it right. Had the nerve to tell me if I want a good pint, I need to come to their store to get one.

Despite being a huge fan of Right Cream who promoted you to friends many times, you've lost a customer.

BTW, when I buy a pint of Little Man from Mr. B's, for only $10, it's identical to the pints from their stores. And chock full of 'filling'. I know exactly what to expect and it's exactly what I get everytime.

Edit: Your store is 30 min away. And you're disappointed I don't want to take more than an hour of my own time to fix an ice cream problem that you could easily fix remotely? Wow. And you have given zero assurances that it's not going to happen again. Take a lesson on customer...
