Gub Gub's ~ Walsenburg, Colorado

First visit: Jan 2024

This wasn't part of the plan. As noted on the George's entry, we had intended on having ice cream at Charlie's Market in La Veta. When that got thwarted, Mrs. RJG was frustrated that her food selections weren't going as she'd hoped. OK, let's see if Walsenburg has an ice cream shop. Up came Gub Gub's. We have to go back through Walsenburg anyway to get home, so let's try it.

Gub Gub's sits inside of the Walsenburg Mercantile, a renovated warehouse, with a gift shop, deli, restaurant, pool table, and... pizza and ice cream provided by Gub Gub's. Nice atmosphere and very clean.

Thing is - they don't have ice cream. They have soft serve like Dairy Queen. Except it's not near as good. In fact it was quite bad. Tasted like frozen milk, or perhaps it had melted and refroze? The homemade waffle cone saved the day, as it was crunchy and tasty, unlike the soft serve which was flavorless.

So would we go back to Gub Gub's? The answer is a surprising yes. The pizza looked really good. We noticed they were opening a standalone location in downtown Walsenburg, so we'll probably try it next time. Hopefully they'll get the ice cream problem fixed. I hope they know they have a problem. I never like to pay good money for a disappointing product. But we can be forgiving. One more try. Probably next year, or possibly the summer if we return for a second visit. Mrs. RJG couldn't catch a break on the food part of our trip. But the shopping and beer part went fine!
