Liks has two locations in Denver: Capitol Hill and down south.

Ice cream, gelato, and hot dogs in the Highlands

In Denver's peripheral Highlands neighborhood for the past 2 years, the Red Trolley is a worthy stop for sweet lovers and those who like to frequent cute neighborhood establishments. The gelato was incredible, with flavors that are both creative and full of high-quality product. My favorite on a recent visit was caramel topped with a chocolate ganache and sea salt. Red Trolley also serves up delicious and natural ice creams and hot dogs for those looking for more sustenance.

A Central Colorado Foodshed Alliance hosts a farmers market in the Salida Alpine Park.

The market is open from late June to October on Saturdays from 8:30 to noon. Vendors are broad including local produce, lunch/snack foods, handmade goods, and various other services enjoyed by the modern mountain hippy. Entertainment can include banjo and other live music and occasionally wolves. Yay wolves.

A relatively newcomer to the collection of great businesses along Broadway, Sweet Action has become a walkable favorite to residents of Baker, West Wash Park and a new stop-off for sweet tooths cruising down Broadway. The location is distinguished by an adorable garage door bar, that's impossible to pass by without hankering for a sweet treat.
