Great spot for some sweet treats! Real Shakes not syrups is a specialty of theirs. They also have a fun lunch menu.

On your way down to Denver it's a great place to stop for kids or just about anyone.

Another suggestion on the way up the Hill. The Lewis Sweet Shop has been in Empire since Lewis opened it up in 1949, after coming home from the War in WWII. The shop still uses Lewis's recipes for ice cream and other delights, and it is a fun little stop on the way up (or down) the Hill!
