    Cool little local ice cream shop. I wish they had more non dairy items. They do have a bunch of interesting dairy flavors though.

    Scoops are big. Service is friendly. More than enough flavors to select from. Perfect stop for a summertime treat!

    This is simply the best ice cream I have ever tried. I recommend the Wookie Cookie, give it a try.

    It's just about the best ice cream I've ever eaten. Congrats to the owners for adding such a great local gem to the Boise community!

The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn't particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn't get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don't know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it's only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.

In less than a year, STIL was voted as Boise's Best Dessert. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. The flavors change regularly but here are some favorites: Cookies with Grandma - Coconut ice cream with cookie dough. Made from a non dairy base which is very cream. I dare you to blind taste this and figure out it's dairy free. Cabin Time - peanut butter ice cream with small bits of Oreos. Very peanuty but not much Oreo. Good but not great. Bake Sale - Brownies ice cream with cookie dough with chocolate drizzled on it. Dairy but gf. One of the most popular and I can see why. Grandpa's Stories - Vanilla ice cream with Scotch Ale. Oreos, & Caramel mixed in. Alcohol is subtle and I could still drive. You can pair the ice cream with wine or beer (which seems odd to me). There's a few lunch items too. This is premium ice cream and rate high but it's not the best I've ever had

Flavor variety is nice, I like that there are numerous dairy free options. The seating is kind of awkward but I'm not sure what a better alternative layout would be and I know there are constraints. Their service is so on and off. I've had subpar service so much to the point where I expect it to I worked when I was a teenager and was still expected to provide solid customer service. At a coffee shop, a good number of employees were in high school and absolutely were incredible. Interactions with their employees often is short, as in their answers are short, their tone, etc. I wish a positive customer experience was emphasized more for the staff, regardless of age.

Their portions are real big we got 3 scoops and boy oh boy were they huge. The service was ok. For it being my first time they weren't as friendly as to tasting a few samples (2 of them) before making decision. She looked a bit annoyed but that didn't stop me from enjoying my ice cream honestly. They have a few spots to sit but not that big. Just grab and go kinda situation. They do have some flavors Pints to go if you wish to grab some of those along with other goodies. The strawberry flavor I got was amazing along with cookies and crème.

Placed my order and headed to the window. The gentleman working the window was so nice! Repeated my order and got me all squared away. Asked if I wanted any sauces. Food was made and he thank me and I was on my way! For lunch I got the kids cheeseburger meal. I would love to eat a big burger but I know i would not be able to eat the other half. So the kids was the perfect size. My burger was great! The patty was seasoned. The cheese was nice and melted. The pickles were tasty! And the bun was fresh and soft! I added some ketchup to that bad boy and it was perfect. The fries were so good! They were fried golden but not too hard. They were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The fry sauce with the fries will always be my favorite! I didn't take any food pics cause I was driving but this was absolutely the perfect sized meal for me! Fanci Freeze will always be a perfect spot for cold treats and now a juicy burger!

I was actually supposed to meet my nephew at the new location in Eagle. It's actually closer to us but my sweet nephew got confused and headed down to the downtown location. No problem, I made my way downtown to meet my baby for some aunty/nephew time. It's been a few months since I have been in. The shop is a cute as ever. Merch is now available. The pink t shirt they have available was calling my name! It's the perfect shade of pink and sooooo soft. I will have to come back and really check out the merch. My nephew had already been waiting for me to arrive. He's ready for his ice cream! I noticed that they had pistachio as a flavor at the Eagle location. Kinda bummed that it wasn't available here but sweet cream and chocolate will always be a winning combo here. So today I grabbed a kiddie swirl. My nephew grabbed the medium cup with sweet cream, cherry sauce and brownies. Our ice cream was fantastic. My nephew polished off his big cup. Not gonna lie, all the extras he added made his cup look sooooooo good! I as well polished off mine. Can't leave any behind. We got to hang out with the other customers that were enjoying their treats. It makes me heart so happy seeing all these folks come and support a small local business. It's the best! I am going on another ice cream date with my neice next week. Looking forward to checking out the new venue with her. Still happy that my nephew and I got to come here today to enjoy our sweet treat. You can never beat the original.
