Smith+canon - Lakewood

Coffee itself is pretty good, a bit pricey with lots of variety but not my go to. The issue I have here is the location at Colorado Mills is incredibly confusing. Took me a while to figure out what they were even selling, the menu is posted multiple times in the same spot with the most egregious text which makes it frustrating to read. I actually had to double check to make sure my eyes weren 't going blurry on me! There is so much reading involved to figure out it is just coffee with ice cream. That 's it.I asked recommendations since this was my first time, and the staff were dismissive and annoyed I even asked. Will not return to this location.

I love this place! First of all, the ice cream is to die for. Rich and creamy and the flavors are so fun. I had an affogato (expresso with a scoop of ice cream) with butterbrickle ice cream and it was fabulous. My kids love the mint ice cream and the cookies and cream. nNow if you are looking for your coffee fix, look no further. My favorite is the Marcala but there isn 't a bad coffee in the bunch. Even better, the owner is just the nicest guy. He lets you try a few spoons of the different flavors so you can pick just what you want. He is a fountain of knowledge on Italian coffee and ice cream. We really like stopping at Smith Canon whenever we are at the Colorado Mills mall for a treat or a pick me up. You should too!

Their ice cream is SO good. The people working were super nice and randomly brought my boyfriend and I samples! I'm not normally an ice cream person, but their ice cream is SO. GOOD.

I tried something new. An affogato. Ice cream in a cup with espresso poured on top. Awesome. I will be back.

Interesting place but as I was passing by I was having a hard time figuring out what was even going on with this place? When I asked what exactly it is they serve, the staff where VERY unhelpful and judgemental. I have never seen a place designed so non-user friendly. Wall is a massive confusing mess of random text.
