This ice cream stand in a giant milk can shaped building is worth the wait and the lines are always there. I was told that there are lines even in 22 degree weather. The flavors are fun and yummy like toffee coffee, chocolate malt, peanut brittle, salted Oreo, fluffernutter, etc. Go there, stand in line. You won't be sorry!!

Little Man offers an adorable, unique exterior and tasty, creamy ice cream. When I went the line was very long, but the two workers behind the counter were exceptionally hard-working and did an incredible job moving things along efficiently while staying friendly and personable. The staff was truly outstanding. The ice cream was good and they had a decent range... More

Just visited this cute little place! Have to say, while the selection is not HUGE, and is full of rather sweet ice cream, the quality is outstanding, and the sorbets are light and perfect! I tried the "Purple Cow", "Chocolate Cupcake" (surprisingly not too sweet), "Caramel Popcorn", and ended up settling on the "Passion Fruit Sorbet". I'm so glad I... More

Despite waiting in a longggg line, the ice cream was great. Will go back again, just hopefully won't have to wait in such a long line.

Little Man Ice Cream is next door to Lingers restaurant. Lucky for us we saw this place after lunch and thought we better join the happy crowd. Great Ice Cream and lots of kids and want to be kids running and milling about . This is a very famous Ice Cream place and deserves the best reputation.

Really funky store front! Great variety and wild, delicious flavors! I was a little intimidated by the menu but the awesome servers offered me samples that really made my experience awesome! I finally selected the salted Oreo cookie which I still dream about often!

Wanted ice cream and found Little Man in the GPS. Long line, even on a gloomy day! The ice cream was great. I had salt oreo which was excellent. Highly recommended.

We saw the Little Man Ice Cream while eating dinner at Linger next door. The huge milk jug design of the shop is a definite draw. It was well worth standing in line for ice cream and sherbet in 20 degree weather. The employee working was really nice, very people friendly, they give samples of anything they have to offer....

It's unique and a neighborhood focal point - with outstanding ice cream! I've tried several flavors (at different visits - the ice cream is rich), and I've never been disappointed!

Great location in the highlands, close to a lot of great eateries and fairly close to downtown. Ice cream is tasty, and they don't skimp. Only thing I would like is more favors, very common favors.
