A morning stop
Coffee, a seat, ten minutes before the day starts. The unglamorous half of the business, and the half that keeps it open.
About Sweet Days A small shop,
A small shop,
on purpose.
Ice cream on one side, coffee on the other, and enough chairs that nobody has to eat standing up on the sidewalk.

The short version
Somebody had to open one.
Sweet Days is an independent ice cream and coffee shop in Colorado City, Colorado. Not a chain, not a franchise, no app to download before you can order a scoop.
The idea is simple enough to explain in one sentence: a room you can walk into for a coffee in the morning and a cone in the evening, run by people who live here too.
“Ice cream has always been my passion. With each scoop, I aim to create sweet memories and a sense of community.” Sweet Days, in its own announcement
What it’s for
Mostly, it’s for hanging around.
An after-school problem
Somewhere for kids to end up that is not a parking lot. Kid scoops, kid prices, no minimum spend.
A reason to walk down
Small towns lose places like this and do not always get them back. This is the getting-one-back part.

Birthdays, team nights, fundraisers. It is a small shop, which is exactly what makes it work for a group that actually knows each other.
