You have found yourself wholly engrossed and immersed in a great story, but have you ever thought about what it would be like to actually step foot into one of your favorite books? Now you can, thanks to this whimsical Colorado bakery and ice cream shop that will make you think you have stepped foot into one of your favorite stories:
Tucked away along Larimer Street in Denver, Hidden Gems is a delicious ice cream store with a very Oz-like ambiance that will remind you of the L. Frank Baum classic.
Featuring delicious vanilla and chocolate soft serve, Hidden Gems offers an assortment of traditional (and not-so-traditional) mix-ins to make each creation your own, including Andes Mint Bits, Fruity Pebbles, Heath Bar, and Cheez-Its.
While the Lewis Carroll-inspired decor is reason enough to visit, the fare makes the Drunken Bakery an instant classic, thanks to the curious and curious-er assortment of donuts and vibrantly-colored macarons.
Hidden Gems Ice Cream is open Tuesday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Drunken Bakery is open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
