Made by hand since 2012.

One owner, two shops, and a French Bulldog whose name is on the door.

Our story

Steve’s been doing this a while.

I opened Inside Scoop Creamery in downtown Littleton in 2012 and spent the next stretch of my life making ice cream five days a week through every summer. I’m still at it.

Rosie’s started in 2022, and in June 2025 we moved into this room on South Pearl — a smaller, quieter shop that’s just ours. Sixteen flavors on the board, pints to go, and a case full of things I actually want to eat.

We still churn every batch of ice cream and sorbet ourselves at our Littleton commissary, then bring it here.

Come sit down. Stay a minute.

About the name

Rosie was my French Bulldog, and the reason this place has a name.

She held court in the shop most summer afternoons — mostly asleep, occasionally begging, never once earning her keep. She’s not here to greet you anymore, but her name is on the door and her face is on every cup. That was always the plan.

How we make it

Small batches, made by us.

Fresh cream from Meadow Gold Dairy, every batch churned by hand, and waffle cones pressed right in the shop. Come taste the difference.
