The Sweetest Spot
in Estes Park.
Since 1968, Munchin’ House has been the downtown stop for ice cream in Estes Park — 40+ flavors of homemade, small-batch scoops, plus an espresso bar, fudge, gummy sweets and other treats, and our famous Rocky Mountain soda floats.
40+ flavors
that will melt your heart
Our locally themed, freshly made, small-batch ice creams are hand-crafted right here in the store with locally made, locally sourced, all-natural ingredients for a full dose of premium Estes Park ice cream flavor. Also ask about our sorbets, sugar-and dairy-free options, our delicious handmade shakes and malts, and our one-of-a-kind espresso shake!
Afternoon, espresso.
Mid-day Coffee Treats
When the trail dust settles, come and warm your hands, then reset. We’re grinding Boulder Organic Coffee beans throughout the day and pulling smooth shots for lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, chai lattes, and affogatos for an easy late-morning and afternoon coffee stop in downtown Estes Park. A little pause before the Riverwalk.
A little joy after the hike.
Call us
old-fashioned
That’s what we call us.
Since 1968, our candy case has been packed with freshly made small-batch sweets for locals and visitors in downtown Estes Park — creamy fudge, pull-soft saltwater taffy, timeless chocolates, and roasted nuts. We still stir, pour, and cut the old-fashioned way, so everything tastes like it was made for today. Grab a square for now, a box for later, and a little something to share on the road (or not).
Tastes like…
Estes Park, Colorado
We keep our recipes close to home — premium, all-natural ingredients sourced from local and Colorado neighbors. You’ll taste it in our ice cream, fudge, and chocolates, and you’ll see it on our shelves: Colorado-made syrups, BBQ sauces, and pantry-style goodies we actually love.
Looking for Estes Park gifts and souvenirs? Our Colorado-made treats make easy, crowd-pleasing presents — sweet thank-yous for house-sitters, host gifts for your rental, and tasty “take-home from the Rockies” surprises for friends and family. Grab a few for the drive and a few for later.
